This is info on the horrific vaccination DPT - diphtheria, pertussis and
tetanus, given to little ones at 2, 4, 6, 18 months and 5 years in most
of the world...

THE DPT PICTURE
FREQUENTLY A CASE WILL HAVE THE SYMPTOM 'NEVER BEEN WELL SINCE
VACCINATION', BUT THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE DOCUMENTATION OF SYMPTOMS
PARTICULAR TO AN INDIVIDUAL VACCINE. FOR MOST PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY,
DPT AND POLIO IS THE FIRST VACCINE. I DECIDED TO LOOK AT CASES WHERE
'NEVER BEEN WELL SINCE VACCINATION' HAD BEEN TREATED BY DPT IN POTENCY
TO SEE THE CHANGE IN SYMPTOMS BEFORE AND AFTER THE REMEDY. FROM THIS I
COLLATED A PICTURE OF DPT.
THE STUDY
Kate Diamantopoulo has been running a children's clinic for several
years. Looking through her case files, together with some cases from
Linda Razzell and some of my own, I selected approximately 50 cases
where the prescription of DPT 30 had shown a marked reaction at the next
visit. I searched through some 500 cases where DPT 30 had been
prescribed, but I felt it was important to select only those cases which
satisfied the following criteria:
1. A follow up visit after DPT 30 was needed. (Often, if they were
better parents did not return).
2. There had been relatively little prescribing in the case before
DPT 30. This was partly so that the original interview was still valid
and also it was not a clear aetiology if the prescriber had not given
the remedy early on in the case.
3. There was a reaction.
The prescription would be DPT 30 one day and Polio 30 the next or
whichever combination of vaccination had originally been administered.
Some cases had DPT, omitting the Pertussis, and others did not have the
Polio.
ANALYSIS
Even though, in statistical terms, the sample was small, reading
five hundred cases made it possible to make general observations. It may
not be possible to support them with statistical 'proof'. The intention
was to establish clearer ideas of DPT in order to help with future
prescribing. The analysis involved a set of before and after questions
and the change was recorded. This was then put into a database and
presented as a graph.
I looked at the symptom groups which were most commonly affected
and have grouped them as follows:
Sleep (70.5% of cases affected), Dreams (17.6%), Bowels (41%), Food
(43%), Thirst (49%), Urine (10%), Stomach (20%), Respiratory Complaints
(45%) and Skin (29.5%).
SLEEP AND DREAMS: Sleep was the area that was most affected. The
symptoms seemed to occupy two extremes, those relating to over-activity
and those relating to under-activity. In the first group there was
constant waking, overheating and uncovering, night terrors, difficulty
getting to sleep, enuresis and somnambulism. In the second group
sleeping long, sleeping in the day, unremembered dreams. It might have
been expected that, at the follow-up visit, the child would just be
describing in more detail what had previously been called a nightmare,
but this was not the case. The nightmares stopped after DPT in potency
and it was the children without dreams who, for the most part, developed
dreams (animals and chasing). Enuresis and somnambulism did not come
through as a very high percentage. Some of this will be due to the case
taking. Particularly with enuresis, parents often fail to mention it
initially and I feel these areas should be looked at more closely in the
future.
BOWELS, FOOD, THIRST, URINE AND STOMACH: Again, in this symptom
group there were extremes of symptoms – they had great appetites or no
appetite. This was more marked than a particular food craving. The food
cravings seemed to be those associated with other remedies that are
indicated in the treatment. Commonly they were > writing and
learning >. No physical aggravation at all (sister had cold in this
period) report from cranial osteopath – very good progress. No
prescription.
Two months later Tuberculinum 1M. No further treatment from
specialist.
Glue ear is a sycotic state and many of the symptoms I have derived
for DPT have a sycotic nature (symptoms of over-production and lack of
definition of their boundaries). The vaccination, it appears, pushes the
child further into the sycotic miasm. Some of this is developmental in
young children, but the vaccines exaggerate the process. Diet, TV and
social break down all add to the demands on a child, but the vaccines
are a much more violent catalyst. DPT and polio are being advised for
younger and younger children. At present it is being give at 2, 4 and 6
months. My advice to parents who do choose to vaccinate is to at least
postpone the programme until the child is four months old. Before this
time, certain developmental processes are not complete and, I feel, the
vaccine has a greater ability to penetrate the brain stem.
