Natural Perspective on Gardasil

Sweden now will provide this vaccine free of charge. Perhaps they have over looked the facts and other risks.
Gardasil is a vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) that’s manufactured by Merck & Co. and marketed as “anti-cancer.” However, Canada has one of the lowest cervical cancer rates in the world.

In addition, 70 percent of women with HPV infection clear it spontaneously within one year, and 90 percent within two years.

This means that even if a woman has a high-risk strain of HPV, there is a very good likelihood that her immune system will be able to resolve it naturally.

The risk of any cervical disease is greatly decreased with a yearly Pap smear and safe sexual practices. There is a concern that this vaccine will give women a false sense of security and decrease yearly Paps and safe sexual practices.
Other factors that increase the risk of cervical cancers include:
long-term oral contraceptive use,
poverty,
stress,
smoking
and nutritional deficiencies.

Addressing these factors, irrespective of vaccination, is very important.
