DIPHTHERIA IMMUNISATION
Sir, —“Wee MacGregor” deserves a pat for his exposition of nature cure principles’and the non-necessity of immunisation for diphtheria. It is dear that the Department of Health is not interested in any other viewpoint than its own. This is an indication of how orthodoxy is the enemy of progress. Letters such as those of “Wee MacGregor” are of considerable value, as they help to keep going the campaign for health education, based on fundamental health-building principles, which was started in this country by others, years before the Department of Health started to wake up. One often wonders how the early Maoris ever managed to survive without immunisation and the other modern wonders of disease prevention, said to be essential to the making of a healthy human being.— Yours, etc., NATURE CURE. September 12, 1946.
