REASONS TO JUST SAY NO TO VACCINES

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, DO July 9, 2008 NewsWithViews.com Vaccinatin chil!ren has "ecome sacrosanct in our culture.

ollo! the "one# 3ositione! as a loss lea!er, #accines appear to "e the economic !ri#ers o$ "oth the me!ical an! the pharmaceutical in!ustry. , loss lea!er is a "usiness techniFue in which a less-e=pensi#e pro!uct is sol! or i#en away $or the sa(e o$ o$$erin another pro!uct at a reater pro$it. This common practice is utili;e! to intro!uce new customers to a pro!uct, to "uil! a new customer "ase an!Hor to secure $uture recurrin re#enue. Csin a loss lea!er is more than 'ust a ni$ty "usiness tric( - it can "e a #ery success$ul economic strate y when e=ecute! properly.
