Link between autism and vaccines should be investigated
2008-06-06 07:35:00
Former Head of NIH Says Link Between Autism & Vaccines Should Be Investigated By Melanie PhillipsGood to see that the Telegraph of London has picked up on developments I wrote about here in the U.S., where a head of official steam is building behind the perception that there is a troubling relationship between certain childhood vaccines, including MMR (mumps/measles/ rubella), and autistic symptoms and other damage in a subset of particularly vulnerable children. As I have written, this has been prompted by recent U.S. cases in which multiple vaccinations have aggravated an underlying mitochondrial weakness to produce catastrophic effects, leading Dr. Bernardine Healy, the former head of the National Institutes of Health, to tell CBS News:“I think that the public health officials have been too quick to dismiss the [autism link to vaccination] hypothesis as irrational.”In addition, the Telegraph reported this: “The vaccine hypothesis was bolstered recently by a five-year study ...

Insane NY Bill Makes All Federal Vaccines Mandatory
2008-05-30 02:51:00
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Insane NY Bill Makes All Federal Vaccines Mandatory5-29-8 Act now to stop the worst vaccine law ever proposed in New York since the invention of the mandatory schedule. Assembly Bill 10942 would make all vaccines recommended by the CDC mandatory for all children to attend school and, and for the first time vaccines would become mandatory for infants and toddlers. The bill was introduced in Rules Committee at the request of Richard Daines, the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Health. The Rules Committee in the personal committee of the Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan). A-CHAMP is calling for rejection of this bill and is demanding the passage of A5468/S3031, a bill that would give individuals a right to a philosophical exemption from vaccine mandates. This is no time to transfer vaccine decisions away from individuals and elected officials answerable to the voters an...

Vaccines, Mercury, and Autism - Is There a Link?
2008-05-23 04:02:00
At the very least, why not remove mercury and other toxic substances like aluminum, anti-freeze, and formaldehyde as preservatives from vaccinations; space out the schedule of shots, instead of giving so many at once; and delay giving some of the riskiest of them until infants are somewhat older? Vaccines, Mercury, and Autism – Is There a Link?by Lewis Regenstein DIGG THISIn recent years, there has been an explosion of neurological disorders among children, the most serious of which is the crippling syndrome knows as autism.The dramatic increase in the incidence of autism has accompanied the more than tripling of the childhood vaccination schedule, and many parents have described how their perfectly normal, alert, intelligent, healthy infants suddenly regressed into an autistic state after receiving vaccination shots.Pediatricians and health officials have long ridiculed the claims of parents of thousands of autistic children, that vaccines appear to have played a role in...

Mitochondrial diseases are a clinically heterogeneous group of disorders that arise as a result of dysfunction of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. They can be caused by mutations of nuclear or mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Some mitochondrial disorders only affect a single organ (such as the eye in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy [LHON]), but many involve multiple organ systems and often present with prominent neurologic and myopathic features. Mitochondrial disorders may present at any age. In general terms, nuclear DNA muta...

Parents Opting Out of Vaccines for their Children in the news--
2008-04-02 01:44:00
Last week this article came out in the New York times about the growing health concerns of parents not vaccinating their children. I am not a doctor (read the disclaimer at the bottom right of this blog) and I am not here to judge. Which is why this is a topic that is so difficult to write about. Here is a news clip from the Today show from last week as well. I think it is important for parents to look at the serious risks to our own children from these diseases (which most of us have no real experience with), the potential risk from vaccines themselves, and the risks to other children by choosing to not vaccinate your child. In this clip, I found the the comments of a doctor who works with children who have these preventable diseases to be very compelling. I was also glad to hear the doctor in this clip say that thimerosal (a preservative that contained small amounts of mercury) is no longer in any vaccines. Previously, this was something that you had to ask for at the doctor's of...

Is There Hanky-Panky Behind Mandatory Vaccines? by: Phyllis Schlafly
2008-03-24 06:44:00
http://www.whale.to/vaccines/sc-halfly2.html Is There Hanky-Panky Behind Mandatory Vaccines? by: Phyllis SchlaflyAugust 25, 1999 After parents whose children had been severely damaged fromvaccines attended a couple of congressional hearings, we might havethought Bill Clinton's response would have been, "I feel your pain."Not on your life. The Clinton Administration instead floated plans togut the federal trust fund that compensates the families of childrenwho are injured or killed by reactions to vaccines.Surgeon General David Satcher told a House committee this monththat Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala mightrecommend that a large portion of the National Vaccine InjuryCompensation Program's $1.4 billion trust be turned over to vaccineresearch. That would be a cruel betrayal of the parents who financedthis trust fund by a 75 cents per dose assessment on vaccines andwere promised compensation from it in exchange for virtuallyeliminating the pharmaceutical companie...

US Govt.

The advocates for Americans and other citizens of the world like Dr. Mercola (see his article below), Dr. William Campbell Douglass II, Mike Adams, Jon and Kristin Barron, Jenny Thompson at HSI Baltimore and a host others, are here to report the real goings on with the pharmaceutical companies, the FDA, vitamin/herbal supplements, “organic” foods, food additives, healthy lifestyles, etc. The aforementioned small group of “alternative” health “nuts” are today’s true mainstream medical heroes and reporters of truth with a smattering of opinion thrown in for good measure.

Prayer for Taite - Updated *they of course pushed vaccines again*
2008-03-18 13:27:00
Im on my way to the Er where my husband is with Taite.Taite hit his brow this morning (right above his eyebrow line) on our fish tank stand... and it put a big 1 inch gash across his brow (horizontal).It wasnt bleeding an awful lot but it was pretty big. We think it needs stitches.Travis rushed him to the ER since Caleb wasnt even dressed...Im on my way out now.The thing that concerned me was how tired Taite was acting shortly after the bump. I hope he doesnt have a concussion...*Update*We're back from the ER.All is ok.He did have to have the wound bonded shut with some sort of glue. To be honest Im not totally sure about this "derma bond?" but Because I didnt know anything I wasnt sure what to do.. so we just let them do it. It is basically a super glue type stuff that holds the cut in place and slowly goes away with time. They said its perfectly safe for babies.Im trusting the Lord will take care of Taite regardless if its 100% safe or not.Taite did great..Even when they had to s...

Important Information About HPV Vaccines
2008-03-03 02:38:00
More than 100 types of human papilloma virus (HPV) are known to exist. More than 30 types of HPV are transmitted through sexual contact. At least 19 types of HPV cause cervical cancer in women and also cause cancer of the vagina, vulva, penis, anus and certain types of throat cancer.Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a vaccine called Gardasil, made by Merck & Co., for the prevention of infection by four types of HPV. Gardasil prevents infection by two cancer-causing HPV types (16 and 18 - responsible for 70% of cervical cancer in the United States) and two HPV types that cause genital warts (6 and 11 - responsible for about 90% of the HPV-induced genital warts in the United States).A competitor of Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, has a vaccine under review by the FDA that they hope to have approved in the near future. This vaccine, called Cervarix, prevents infection with HPV types 16 and 18.The FDA approved Gardisil for use in girls and women between the ages of 9 ...
Government Concedes an Autism Caused by Vaccines Case
2008-02-28 03:55:00
David Kirby in the Huffington Post"The child's claim against the government -- that mercury-containing vaccines were the cause of her autism -- was supposed to be one of three "test cases" for the thimerosal-autism theory currently under consideration by a three-member panel of Special Masters, the presiding justices in Federal Claims Court. Keisler wrote that medical personnel at the HHS Division of Vaccine Injury Compensation (DVIC) had reviewed the case and "concluded that compensation is appropriate." The doctors conceded that the child was healthy and developing normally until her 18-month well-baby visit, when she received vaccinations against nine different diseases all at once (two contained thimerosal). Days later, the girl began spiraling downward into a cascade of illnesses and setbacks that, within months, presented as symptoms of autism, including: No response to verbal direction; loss of language skills; no eye contact; loss of "relatedness;" insomnia; incessant screa...
Vaccines are Dangerous For Kids?
2008-02-07 06:26:00
I am a mother of four. They were immunized, but they weren't complete.I have read about the danger of vaccines it caused to children and incidents happened caused by vaccines. More write-ups about the protection in the internet are beginning to increase. It is not 100% safe. It is more than harmful than prevention.Why do vaccination is harmful? Sometimes, children's immune system are not fully developed yet, when given dosage of vaccines for certain disease if not yet ready will cause side effects.Do I have to risk my children for that? How true is that? There are studies about vaccines. These studies are reliable. Many experienced illnesses because of the effect of vaccines.We have to be aware of our children's health. If we don't want our children to be immunized, we have to act on this by means of cleaning and eating the right kind of food. After all, prevention is better than cure.

Carla, objecting to certain vaccines is understandable, and that's not what I refer to, but to a certain fundie logic that refuses all vaccines as agents of pharmaceutical colonialism. These particular BJU people, mostly homeschoolers, won't get ANY vaccines and get religious exemptions for them, as the Amish do. (And the Amish actually had a polio epidemic in their community--the first in decades--just a few years ago.)

Myelin Sheath -Vaccines- Autism- Autoimmunity Discussed
2007-09-20 04:32:00
What is in vaccines that might not be great for babies etc. Auto-Immunity, Vaccines and AutismV.K. Singh has studied autism as an autoimmune disorder for over fifteen years. He believes that up to eighty percent (and possibly all) cases of autism are caused by an abnormal immune reaction, commonly known as autoimmunity. The autoimmune process in autism results from a complex interaction between the immune system and the nervous system. He hypothesizes that an auto-immune reaction to basic brain structures, especially the myelin sheath, plays a critical role in causing the neurological impairments of patients with autism. He has suggested that an immune insult to developing myelin (after a natural infection or vaccination) causes "nicks" or small changes in the myelin sheath. These changes ultimately lead to life-long disturbances of higher mental functions such as learning, memory, communication, social interaction, etc.1A disease is sometimes referred to as "autoimmune" when the et...
