Autism and Vaccines

- Tim O'Shea



Perhaps one of the most shocking pieces ever to appear on television was a six-hour taping of a Congressional investigation into the relationship between vaccines and autism among American children. In April 2000, this footage appeared on C-SPAN and was then archived on their website for an entire month.

On April 6, 2000, Rep. Dan Burton convened the Congressional hearing in which parent after parent told very similar stories - how their normally developing babies had suddenly reversed their development soon after the MMR vaccination, or the DPT shots. The children spiraled downward into the vegetable-like existence of autistic behavior, a condition which is usually permanent. Happy, bright children suddenly can no longer learn or communicate, or recognize their parents.

Amazing testimony was given by experts in the field of autism:

Mary Megson MD explained how autism has gone from being an unknown in 1978, with an incidence of 1 in 10,000 at that time, to an epidemic in 2000 AD, in which the incidence is in the range of 1 case in every 300 - 500 in many areas! Megson's research has shown total deficiency of vitamin A in almost all autistic children. What depletes the body of vitamin A at 15 months? Right - the MMR vaccine. In addition, Megson found that pertussis toxin from the DPT shot disrupted a certain protein that is necessary for retinal formation. This would account for the prevalence of night blindness and loss of 3D vision so common among autistics.

John O'Leary, PhD a world class researcher and molecular biologist from Ireland, using state of the art sequencing technology, showed how he had found measles virus in the gut of 96% of autistic children, compared to 6.6% of normal children. This virus did not come from the natural disease; it came from the measles vaccine. In addition, Dr. O'Leary found measles virus present in 75% of children with Crohn's Disease. Crohn's has traditionally been an intestinal disease of adults, following years of dietary abuse. Its appearance in children is a new event, and Dr. O'Leary's work points to measles virus from vaccines as the likely cause.

V. Singh, MD, a specialist from Utah State who has studied over 400 cases of autism, found that these children had experienced an autoimmune episode, in which their own body has been made to attack the lining of the nervous system. Dr. Singh characterizes the epidemic as a "hyperimmune response to the measles virus." He stated that 55% of the families said that autism appeared soon after an MMR shot, and that 33% of families said it appeared soon after a DPT shot. Such neurologic damage is a well-established side effect of the mercury, aluminum, and formaldehyde used in these vaccines.

Andrew Wakefield MD, a brilliant researcher from the UK, noted an almost 100% incidence of "lymphoid nodular hyperplasia" or swollen lumps throughout the intestinal tissue of autistics. Such a condition is rare in normal children. Intestinal pathology is characteristic of the autistic child, and the condition generally follows soon after the MMR shot. Dr. Wakefield explained that as the fragile, newborn intestine cannot function because of its swollen condition, undigested toxins from vaccines and drugs are allowed to get into the liver, which is also in a formative stage. Liver pathology is very common among autistics. Wakefield's hypothesis is that these same "undegraded toxins," having not been halted by the intestine or the liver, as normally happens, that these toxins are then free to attack the nervous system, and that autism may well be the result.

Kathy Pratt, PhD, director of the Indiana Center for Autism, stated that 1/400 children in Indiana were now autistic! With 500,000 cases now reported in the U.S., Dr Pratt stated that autism is now more common than Downs Syndrome. Dr. Pratt points out that autism presently may disqualify a person for medical coverage for other, unrelated conditions.

Michael Goldberg, MD, a California pediatrician and researcher, explained how it was impossible to have an epidemic based solely on genetics. That's the standard excuse the CDC and the NIH have been using to explain how autism has grown from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 300 in just 22 years.

Seeing the American democratic system in action in a real live Congressional hearing, it soon becomes apparent how the control of information operates, even in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence that we may well be poisoning our own children.

The requisite defenders of the status quo robotically read their predictable prepared statements, denying the possibility of any connection between autism and vaccines. These included Paul Offit, MD, Edwin Cook, MD, Brent Taylor, MD, and others. After they uniformly denied the vaccine/autism connection, it was most illuminating when Burton point-blank asked each one of them about the money each receives from the vaccine manufacturers. And these are members of the Advisory Committee - that's who makes the decision about which vaccines are to be included in the mandated vaccination schedule.

Colleen Boyle was there to represent the Centers for Disease Control. After stumbling through her prepared statement in which she denied any connection between autism and vaccines, Boyle stated the present incidence to be "12 in 10,000." Burton then stopped her cold by asking her one simple question: did she think it was a conflict of interest for the same people who were funded by the vaccine manufacturers to be on the Advisory Board, making decisions about which vaccines should be given to American children. Boyle was dumbfounded; speechless. Burton repeated the question. Still no answer. Boyle's mute portrayal of the career bureaucrat spoke volumes about the whole House of Cards. Burton had asked The Question that was never asked.

Equally inept and ill-prepared was Deborah Hirtz, MD, representing the National Institutes of Health. Losing her place in her written statement, Hirtz actually forgot what she was saying, and it seemed obvious she had not written it herself. Finally, she just barely managed to put across what she was sent there to say - that there could be no connection between vaccines and Autism, but that the NIH was "looking into it."

Looking into it. The NIH has already spent up to $40 million per year of taxpayer money "looking into it." (Hirtz) Their answer, after 5 years: It needs further study. The performance of these representatives from the two government agencies who have almost sovereign power in the area of vaccines was frightening - their indifference, their lack of information, their condescension, and their low level of intelligence. They gave no sign of having understood one word of the critically important breakthrough research that had just been so brilliantly expounded by Drs. Megson, O'Leary, and Wakefield. This is what power looks like - people who have been in their position so long that they know they don't have to justify themselves to anyone lower down on the food chain.

Government agencies have the same answer to every problem: more committees. More money, more study, more meetings. Meanwhile, 22 years have gone by, and all these people say is "we don't know." After 22 years and $10 million, we don't know the incidence, the cause, or the cure for autism, which is now afffecting as many as one in 400 children. . But we'll definitely look into it. And, oh yes, it's definitely not vaccines.

The shocking scientific findings of Wakefield and O'Leary obviously demand more research. So then, why are the vaccines not suspended until that research is done? The underlying assumption is that the vaccines will continue as normal until enough "research" proves it is dangerous, as with rotavirus and Quadrigen. Only then will MMR be suspended. This is the thinking that passes as logic. The key point here that no one seems to be noticing is that research should be done BEFORE mandating a vaccine into the bloodstream of American children. You don't just start mass injecting something into a population and then stand back and defy independent scientists to prove it isn't safe. That's exactly what we've done here.
As a nation, as a government, and as parents, Americans should be very certain, beyond a reasonable doubt, that any substance being injected into an unformed little nervous system is absolutely safe and does no harm. That is the minimum requirement. Drs. Wakefield, O'Leary, and Megson have shown startling results from some of the only scientific research on autism and vaccines in the entire world that has not been funded by the vaccine manufacturers. And this research shows a high likelihood that MMR and DPT vaccines may cause permanent intestinal destruction, liver damage, and autism. It also presents a very plausible hypothesis for the horrific increase of autism since 1978. So until we know for certain if they're right, why are the vaccines not suspended?

Gary Null's pert answer comes swimming to the surface; "It's the Money, Stupid."

By the end of the hearing, Burton's room was polarized into three groups:

those who were convinced of a connection between autism and vaccines
those who admitted the possibility
those who angrily denied the possibility, affronted that anyone would question their "scientific" opinions
It was amusing to see which people in the room were trying to discover the truth and which were trying their best to cover it up.

Despite Burton's heroic efforts to bring these matters into public view, it's an uphill struggle. The big money's on the side of vaccines. Big money controls research, the press, "scientific" journals, and politicians. Seeing all these forces clash together in one room in just six hours has been the most instructive display of confusing the issues perhaps since the OJ trial. Watching a live Congressional hearing like this, it soon becomes clear that for them, the real priority isn't necessarily finding the truth, but rather showing who's really in charge here. The viewer begins to understand how autism could have gone from being unknown in 1978 to being a household word in just 22 years with so little fanfare.

Without undue pessimism, the prospects for unbiased, objective scientific logic to prevail in deciding the future of MMR and DPT vaccines do not look bright. The mentality of the CDC and the NIH was well characterized in this videotape. The control of research and information by drug manufacturers was pervasive. Burton's co-chairman, Henry Waxman, did his best to divert attention from the issues to himself, to waste time on "points of order," and to prevent anyone who disagreed with him from being heard. Waxman's science champion, researcher Brent Taylor, MD has recently had an article published in Lancet that supposedly shows no possible connection between vaccines and autism. Now Taylor has refused to provide his data for the study when repeatedly asked by other researchers, like Dr. Bernard Rimland. Such a request is standard, and researchers commonly share their data when requested, unless they have something to hide. Taylor's combination of fear and arrogance is characteristic of the way that research, and ultimately, decision-making on vaccines by the Advisory Committee - this is the way it works. The researchers who have unlimited funding may 'prove' whatever they wish, get it published in the best journals, which are heavily advertised in by the drug companies, and then refuse to respond to valid objections, because they know that those opposing points of view will probably not be published.

Despite these formidable obstacles, doubts are creeping into the overall public "consciousness" from many different directions about the safety of vaccines. At 1 in 500, the fact of autism as an epidemic can no longer be covered up. The work of Wakefield, O'Leary, and Megson is going to be very difficult to explain away. The massive advertising campaign about the safety of vaccines in the popular media, which is certain to be stepped up in the next few months, is going to look very hollow in the light of clean, unbiased research that is not funded by parties who stand to make billions from certain pre-determined results.

AUTISM AND THE DANISH STUDY

One of the most tragic aspects of the vaccine world today is the coverup attending the new epidemic of autism. This is a permanent brain disease primarily of 2 year olds which has popped up in the past 20 years. In 2004, many areas of the US show that one infant in 150 becomes autistic. Mainstream medicine as well as the popular media have done all they can to downplay this astounding statistic. They admit autism is an annoyance but they never use the word epidemic. And they always say the cause of autism is 'genetic' in origin.

In this discussion, we will not show the abundant proof that autism cannot be blithely explained away by genetics. Nor will we discuss the coverup which mainstream medicine is trying to hide behind in order to distract people from the cause of this unstoppable menace to our children. All this is dealt with in The Sanctity of Human Blood and in the live seminar.

Since 1997, independent researchers have come up with tons of legitimate research showing that autism may very well be linked to 2 vaccine-related causes: MMR vaccine and mercury in other vaccines. Strangely, we find that mainstream medicine is spending all their money trying to deny this vaccine connection, and no money trying to find what IS the cause of this new epidemic.

So in the past 7 years, practically every month an article pops up in the popular media in which some new 'expert' has found no possible connection between autism and vaccines. On closer inspection it's always the same story: flawed methods, no methods, insupportable conclusions, bad science. The most popular of these canned studies was the so-called Danish Study, which appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2002. As usual, the study claimed that after comparing thousands of vaccinated and unvaccinated Danish children there could be no possible connection between autism and MMR vaccine. This was the cover story picked up by world media, which in its typical smokescreen style took only the most superficial look at the study.

Anyone with the slightest scientific background can see glaring flaws in the Danish Study on first reading. An excellent analysis appears at http://www.vaccinationnews.com/Daily...MMRStudy23.htm in which the flaws are pointed out within in the text of the study. Just a few of those errors:



children were excluded from being counted in the study before they reached the age when most children become autistic
the study skipped entire groups of vaccinated children
the authors draw conclusions not supported by the data
the study discusses none of its own flaws, a standard featurein legit scientific studies

Edward Yazbak MD provides a long list of other recent Danish studies which show the opposite: that there is a great deal of evidence for a connection between vaccines and autism. [32] Strange that world media chose only the one study that opposes the vaccine connection. The rest are ignored.
There is an excellent British website that has an entire list of articles which demonstrate the flaws and weaknesses behind this Danish Study: [33]

Because the study has been so badly discredited among researchers, the media stopped citing it about a year ago. Only the least informed still draw attention to it.

AUTISM AND MERCURY: THE SAN DIEGO CONFERENCE
- Tim O'Shea

Inquiry into vaccine safety is exploding like never before, even in the popular press. Research coming from dozens of mainstream medical studies can no longer be easily suppressed, as it has been in the past, especially with the prevalence of online information exchange.

On 15-17 Sep 00, some 2000 people, mostly MDs, assembled at the Town and Country resort in San Diego to hear the latest research on autism. Following the Apr 00 Congressional hearings on autism and vaccines, this epidemic can no longer be ignored. The figure of one autistic infant for every 150 is now widely documented. (Bernard, Megson)

Such celebrity unsheathes the usual double-edged sword:


- the focus of research on the causes of autism
- the hawking of allopathic as well as Alternative-Lite
cures for autism


Both were well-represented in this gathering. Nevertheless, some critically significant information emerged from this confused assembly, chiefly in the presentations of three of the lecturers:


- Stephanie Cave, MD
- Amy Holmes, MD
- Andrew Wakefield, MD


Cave presented some very enlightening data on mercury toxicity, drawn largely from the brilliant work of Sallie Bernard. Cave explained how by age two, American children have received 237 micrograms of mercury through vaccines alone, which far exceeds current EPA 'safe' levels of .1 mcg/kg. per day. That's one tenth of a microgram, not one microgram.
Three days in particular may be singled out as spectacularly toxic:


Day of birth: hepatitis B - 12 mcg mercury
30x safe level

At 4 months: DTaP and HiB on same day - 50 mcg
60x safe level
At 6 months: Hep B, Polio - 62.5 mcg mercury
78x safe level


Then at 15 months the child receives another 50 mcg, equivalent to 41x safe level. These figures are calculated for an infant's average weight in kilograms for each age. (Nathan)

These one-day blasts of mercury are called "bolus doses." (Halsey) Although they far exceed 'safe' levels, there has never been any research conducted on the toxicity of such bolus doses of mercury given to infants all these years. (Hepatitis Control Report, 1999) Inconceivable.

Historically, the toxicity of mercury has been known for more than a century. Mad Hatters were more than a fantasy from Alice in Wonderland. Mad Hatter's disease has been well known in England since the mid 1800s. Hat makers would routinely go mad as a result of inhaling the vapors from the mercury-based stiffening compound they used on felt to make top hats. (Bernard)

SOURCES OF MERCURY

It is interesting to learn that common household remedies that were used up into the 1960s like mercurochrome and "teething powder" were often the cause of acute mercury poisoning and disease.

In the U.S., EPA mercury toxicity studies have involved contamination from fish, air, and other environmental sources. This is inorganic, or elemental mercury. In the body inorganic mercury can become organic, usually as methylmercury.

Methylmercury has long been associated with serious neurological disorders, demyelinating diseases, gut disease, and visual damage. (Merck)

The mercury in vaccines, however, is in the form of thimerosal. Once in the body, thimerosal is converted to a much more powerful organic form: ethylmercury. (Bernard)

Thimerosal is far more toxic than methylmercury. Reasons for this include:


- Injected mercury is far more toxic than ingested
- No blood brain barrier in infants
- Mercury accumulates in brain cells and nerves
- Infants don't produce bile, which is necessary to excrete mercury
- Thimerosal is organic mercury. Once in nerve tissue, it is converted irreversibly to its inorganic form



- Autism: A Unique Type of Mercury Poisoning
Bernard patiently explains that the reason thimerosal is a much more toxic form of mercury than one would get from eating open-sea fish has to do with the difficulty of clearing thimerosal from the blood. Ethylmercury has a major preference for nerve cells.

Without a complete blood-brain barrier, an infant's brain and spinal cord are sitting ducks. Once in the nerve cells, mercury is actually changed back to the inorganic form, where it becomes tightly bound, and unable to crtoss back out through the blood brain barrier. (Pederson, 1999). Mercury can then remain for years, like a time-release capsule, causing permanent degeneration and death of brain cells in an unpredictable fashion.
And this is how mercury can be the original and unidentifiable cause of virtually any permanent neurological disease that mysteriously pops up later in life.

Bernard also notes that the body normally clears mercury by fixing it to bile. But before six months of age, infants don't produce bile. Result: mercury can't be excreted. (Koos and Longo, 1976)

Four separate government agencies have set safe levels for methylmercury, but no safe levels have ever been set for thimerosal, because thimerosal isn't included in toxicity studies! (Egan, 1999)

Theoretically, that means that the above excesses of safe levels of mercury on the single days listed above are actually much higher!

Does the fact that the mercury is accompanied by a vaccine somehow place it above scrutiny?

Sallie Bernard's exhaustive, landmark study of vaccines and mercury toxicity - Autism: A Unique Type of Mercury Poisoning - was probably the main reason that even Congress began to see the obvious connection between

MERCURY AND VACCINES

Here's a curious coincidence. Autism was discovered in the late 1930s by Leo Kanner. Kanner noted that autism was a brand new type of condition, totally different from any other type of mental disorder. (Bernard) So when was thimerosal introduced into vaccines? The 1930s.
A few years ago, Bernard and her associates began to notice a striking similarity between the symptoms of autism and the symptoms of mercury poisoning. The more research they did, the more it seemed that these two diseases were virtually identical. Their many carefully-wrought comparison charts demonstrate this identity beyond all doubt.

Autism and mercury poisoning both damage the same systems in almost exactly the same way:


- brain and nerve cells
- gastrointestinal
- eyes
- muscle control
- cognition
- immune
- speech


Although mercury toxicity has been studied for decades, and EPA safety levels had been set, and the EPA did a massive review in 1999 of all prior mercury toxicity studies, during that entire time a child's greatest exposure to mercury – thimerosal in vaccines – was never even included in the toxicity studies!

All they have ever talked about was methylmercury from seafood and the environment, totally ignoring the two most toxic sources of mercury for children: vaccines and dental amalgams.

Reason: the EPA has no jurisdiction over drugs. That's the FDA's job. This is why vaccines and amalgams don't even figure into the equation when it comes to setting 'safe' levels of mercury.

But the FDA does have jurisdiction over drugs and drug companies, right? And over drug company publications, like the Merck Manual, which is the standard cookbook/catalogue for drugs and diseases, found in every doctor's office in the world. Surely the FDA, as the government agency charged with safeguarding the nation's health, would want the section on mercury toxicity to warn doctors about the two biggest sources for children: thimerosal and dental amalgams, wouldn't you think?

Yet looking at the most current edition of the Merck Manual, (1999), in the section on mercury poisoning (p 2636), thimerosal and dental amalgams again are not even mentioned!

How can this be, when mercury is widely acknowledged as the third most deadly toxin in the world (Pilgrim) and thimerosal and amalgams dwarf the trace amounts of mercury from fish and other environmental sources of mercury?

Sniff – sniff only one thing can put a blackout of information over an entire area of study for years at a time in this way – big money.

Such an omission probably wouldn't have anything to do with the revolving door that exists between the FDA, the EPA, the NIH, and the sweet positions held by their members before and after those grueling years of public service Or with the 800 waivers of the conflict of interest rule that the FDA has granted in the past two years to "experts" who are paid consultants to the drug companies, consultants who are also members of the FDA Advisory committees that make decisions about whether or not to approve vaccines and drugs (USA Today, 25 Sep 00) No, of course not

SOAKING UP THE MERCURY

In the San Diego conference on autism, Dr. Amy Holmes gave perhaps the only lucid presentation about treatment. She explained how chelating drugs, which go through the blood like PacMan, munching up mercury, alone don't do much good for autism. That's because most mercury clears from the blood very soon. Mercury in thimerosal is stored in the gut, liver, and brain where it becomes very tightly bound to the cells. Once inside those cells, or inside the blood brain barrier, the mercury is reconverted back to its inorganic form. Locked into these cells, the mercury can then do either immediate cell damage or else become latent and cause the onset of autism, brain disorders, or digestive chaos years later.

This is also the mechanism of autoimuune neurological disorders, like MS and Guillame Barre. The body attacks its own neurons. Forever.

Dr. Holmes reports good success using alpha lipoic acid as an agent that can cross the blood brain barrier to soak up mercury. Once the mercury is brought back into the bloodstream, standard chelators like DMSA can theoretically take it out.

Dr. Holmes has used her protocol on about 300 autistics so far, and claims consistent increase in IQ scores.

The problem with pretending that autism is a treatable disease, however, is that mercury remains in the brain for years after exposure. Triggering an autoimmune response against the contaminated neurons, these brain cells will continue to be attacked even in the unlikely event that all traces of mercury can actually be removed. (Hu, 1997)

Other researchers claim success in removing mercury from the body with oral and intravenous chelators like DMSA, Transportox (1 800 572 1447), and EDTA.

These mopping-up type agents represent allopathic thinking, however: cover up the symptoms. The mechanism of autism is that mercury blocked a certain specific phase of brain development by destroying certain parts of the brain at the exact time that they were needed. The whole process had to take place in a certain precise sequence for normal brain growth. Once that window of opportunity is missed, nothing can replace it.

The reality is that fully 3/4s of autistics become institutionalized and are permanently unable to live independently, no matter what type of treatment is attempted. (Bernard)

FDA: PROTECTOR OF WHOM?

In the face of all this new awareness, it was astounding that in Jul 00, the FDA came out with the parallel-universe pronouncement that "vaccines have safe levels of mercury." Especially after their 1998 position that


" over-the-counter drug products containing thimerosal and other mercury forms "are not generally recognized as safe and effective" (FDA, 1998). -- – Bernard
As if there were any doubt who's really running the show, inconceivable also is the impotence of FDA's request to the vaccine manufacturers to discontinue the use of thimerosal in vaccines. (MMWR, 9 July 1999) Request. The same month, the CDC added its mousy suggestion of the same thing – hey guys, uh, since all these kids are turning into vegetables and uh, most of our researchers know it's the mercury, uh, would you mind not putting any more thimerosal in your vaccines, please? No hurry, though. Whenever you're ready No need to dump all those batches of vaccine just because people are finding out it's the mercury that's destroying these autistic children's brain cells (CDC, July 1999, Nov 1999)

The members of the FDA who decide which vaccines get approved make up the Advisory Board. In his recent House investigation on vaccines, Rep. Dan Burton found out that financial statements of Advisory Board members are "incomplete." Noting that this is the only branch of government that allows incomplete financials, in Sep 00 Burton called the Advisory Board's sweetheart arrangements with the vaccine manufacturers a "violation of the public trust."

This includes 70% of Advisory Board members owning stock in vaccines, owning patents on vaccines, and accepting salaries and benefits as employees of the drug companies. (McGinnis, Burton)

A MATTER OF TRUST

Still think you can trust the government or your physician with your children's blood? Despite the facts and events cited above, consider this joint statement of the US Public Health Services and The American Academy of Pediatrics on 7 Jul 99:

"There is a significant safety margin incorporated into all the acceptable mercury exposure limits. There are no data or evidence of any harm caused by the level of exposure that some children may have encountered in following the existing immunization schedule .Infants and children who have received thimerosal-containing vaccines do not need to be tested for mercury exposure"
---- (MMWR, vol 45, 1999)

These are blatant Orwellian distortions. No harm? What about the autism epidemic, and all the evidence linking it with mercury, cited above? What about the single day doses of mercury cited above that are dozens of times in excess of EPA's own safety levels? And if everything is so safe, then why did they ask the vaccine pushers to kindly discontinue thimerosal from vaccines as soon as possible, at the end of this same statement?

It is beyond the scope of this chapter to really go into the politics of mercury. In researching mercury toxicity, a whole area of dry-rot has been unearthed which deserves its own chapter. (HOME The New Agenda of American Dentistry

This is the shocking story of how the American Dental Association and the California Dental Association have been systematically hiding the truth about mercury toxicity in fillings for decades. 'Silver' fillings aren't just silver. They're 50% mercury, and they're extremely toxic, and every dentist knows it. (www.altcorp.com) (http://www.amalgam.org/)

In a ludicrous blast of irony, both the ADA and the CDA have inserted into their 'code of ethics' strict commandments forbidding dentists from ever revealing to patients the realities of mercury toxicity. No dentist is allowed to recommend removal of mercury amalgams for health reasons, nor may tell the patient about mercury toxicity even if the patient asks. This gag order has been in place since the beginning of American dentistry.

Exaggeration? Check their websites out: http://www.amalgam.org/#anchor69176 http://www.amalgam.org/#anchor69541

Think dentists put mercury into their own families' teeth? Ask them.
Anyone who is not a dentist is not constrained by the Inquistorial gag order imposed on American dentists by the ADA against telling patients what any perceptive researcher in the field of mercury toxicity already knows – that no children should ever get mercury amalgam fillings.

LAUGHINGSTOCK OF THE WEST

With media circuses featuring clowns like OJ, Bill Clinton, George Bush, Saddam Hussein, 9/11, bioterrorism, and smallpox vaccines, America has long been the home entertainment center for most of Europe. So it was no surprise when at the San Diego conference, two of the presenters expressed the same sentiment – Dr. Stejskal of Sweden and Dr Shattock of Great Britain – noting how researchers across Europe are generally appalled at the massive amounts of vaccines given to American children under two years old.

Although Europeans are not as obsessed with vaccines as we are, they do vaccinate. But most of Europe gives very few vaccinations to children under two years old, primarily because of the unformed gut, immune system, and blood brain barrier. This intellectual isolation of ours regarding vaccines is a tribute to the suffocating brain control exerted on us by the popular press and all media. Sheep to the slaughter, we don't know enough to be appalled by our own ignorance.

AUTISTIC GUT

Headlining the September 00 San Diego Conference was Andrew Wakefield, the British surgeon whose shocking new discoveries show that mercury toxicity alone is not the only factor linking vaccines with the autism epidemic. Dr. Wakefield's research centers around the MMR vaccine – measles/mumps/rubella – which does not contain thimerosal.

Expanding on his presentation at the Apr 00 Burton congressional hearings, Dr. Wakefield explained how at least ľ of autistics may have pathologically blocked bowels, due to the huge swelling of the tissue lining the intestine. In virtually every autistic patient they examined, this lymphoid nodular hyperplasia is both an immune response and an autoimmune response which Wakefield and O'Leary have linked to the presence of measles virus from the MMR shot. No other virus was found in those cells. It is a brand new bowel pathology. This measles virus was found in the gut of children who never had measles.

Wakefield showed graphs of the US and UK 10 years apart that were identical in tracing the skyrocketing incidence of autism just after the MMR vaccine was introduced. He also showed how the incidence of measles had dropped over 85% on its own, before the MMR was ever introduced.
One incredible study cited by Wakefield showed how 76% of children whose mothers were exposed to atypical measles became autistic after the MMR shot! He calls this a "background susceptibility" or predisposition to autism.
Wakefield reminds us that in neither country have there ever been comparative studies on giving multiple vaccines (polyvalent) on the same day This custom of ours, with both the DTaP and the MMR, is not scientific by any stretch., and is primarily for the convenience of those administering the shots, and those being paid per vaccine. As a result, there is a good chance of geometric ill effects.

Then Wakefield cited the original MMR study from the 1969 Journal of the American Medical Association, vol. 207. (Buynak) Not only was the safety of multiple vaccines never mentioned; there was no follow-up to the study to see if their conclusions were correct. In the usual manner of testing vaccines on the live population, MMR was simply tacked onto the mandatory schedule, and we've never looked back.

Despite studies in 1981 on Air Force personnel showing major synergistic adverse effects in the gut from the combination of Measles and Rubella vaccines, the mandatory schedule went unchanged. (Crawford)

With no opposing studies whatsoever, the British government has decried the work of O'Leary and Wakefield, an indication that the political influence of drug companies extends to that side of the pond as well. (Shattock)

The irony surrounding Wakefield is that he is now being labeled as a dangerous "anti-vaccine fanatic" by many local pediatrics groups and junior-college-grad "Health Writers" in local newspapers in the US and England who don't even understand the basic issues being studied. The truth is that Wakefield is quite the opposite. He is actually in favor of vaccines. As a primary researcher trained in the strictest scientific methodology at the University of London and the University of Toronto, Wakefield thinks that the problem may be with giving the MMR shot as a trivalent. That means three-in-one. The three vaccines were never tested together prior to their being added to the mandatory schedule.

As a scientist, Wakefield sees the danger in such an unresearched course of action that is driven largely by politics and the economics of big drug money. Astoundingly, Wakefield is under attack simply because he is in favor of further testing of his findings. This apparently challenges the prevailing religion of dogmatic mandated vaccine policy.

ONE PILL MAKES YOU LARGER

The most striking feature of the San Diego autism conference was its Alice-in-Wonderland fascination with the minute details of all the body's systems which the disease screws up, and the falsely optimistic, self-congratulatory tone of medicine's supposed remedies. Like it's just another unfortunate disease which has accidentally winged its way in on us from the cosmos, but don't worry - everything's under control. Omniscient American medicine to the rescue.

Nobody really put together the horror of this manmade epidemic or thought it bizarre that all this time was being wasted on treatment choices without anyone shouting Hey! We're poisoning our kids! And we know it! And it's still going on every day. And nobody can force the vaccine manufacturers and the FDA to stop injecting toxic mercury into American infants until they've figured out a way to replace the billions the cartels will lose by leaving thimerosal out of vaccines, or by halting MMR.

DARK AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

Lest the reader get the impression that medical science has now solved the mystery of autism, and that everything is fine now, the reality is that aside from the cutting-edge research cited above, most of the other presentations at the San Diego conference were room-clearing recitations of aimless scientific non-sequiturs, illuminating this or that step of the Krebs cycle which is disrupted by the toxic onslaught of an infant's blood. Penetrating insight: poison a child with the most toxic metal on earth and cell metabolism goes haywire. Gee, really?

Still other presentations exemplified the Alternative-Lite take on holistic nutrition, which is going to nurse the poisoned child back to a normal dependency on drugs and potions: i.e., health. Chatty women with no credentials were somehow allowed to address this medical assembly and regale it with recommendations for healthy diets made up of chicken mcnuggets and soy milk! Then there were the requisite exorcisms of gluten and casein, droning on and on about unsubstantiated "food sensitivities" that must be avoided in the 'autistic diet.' No marvel that several of these experts were quite obese.


TREATMENT FOR AUTISM: STEP RIGHT UP


No big surprise here. The San Diego conference was held and attended by the profession for whom the Germ Theory of disease permeates their collective DNA. All their education, diagnostics, treatment, and 99% of their research is predicated on the idea that bugs cause disease and that medicine's job is to find the drug for each bug. Into this milieu, the original research of Wakefield and Bernard has been thrown – a new quantum in vaccine awareness. What can be done with this knowledge? Medicine can only use the tools it has: germ theory, drug economics, spin control. Expecting medicine to understand the significance of novel scientific research like that of Bernard and Wakefield is like expecting a cat to fly.

GLIMMER OF HOPE

Despite these formidable obstacles, doubts are creeping into the overall public "consciousness" from many different directions about the safety of vaccines. At 1 in 150, the fact of autism as an epidemic can no longer be covered up. The work of Wakefield, O'Leary, Megson, and Bernard is getting more and more difficult to explain away. Rep. Dan Burton seems relentless in his efforts to acquaint Congress with the meretricious relationship between the FDA Advisory committee and the vaccine manufacturers. The massive advertising campaign about the safety of vaccines in the popular media, which is certain to be stepped up in the next few months, is going to look very hollow in the light of clean, unbiased research that is not funded by parties who stand to make billions from certain pre-determined results. And the internet makes this well-referenced, scientific work accessible to the public without the usual monodimensional smokescreen from the popular press.

Ultimately, the value of the San Diego Conference on Autism was its signal that autism will not be allowed to slip from the public awareness, like so many other feature stories that come and go. The simple truth has been unveiled, and anyone who looks can see it clearly: our prime question should not be asking how we can cure autism once it occurs. The evidence is now overwhelming that in most cases, this new epidemic that we call autism is a preventable disease.

At present at least 5 vaccines are still being made with thimerosal:
• influenza
• DPT
• HiB
• Hepatitis B
• meningococcal vaccine
But even if mercury were legislated out tomorrow, stockpiles would exist for years and years. No stockpiled vaccines have ever been discarded. They may be given out at any clinic's discretion. Forever. Often after they're really old, they may be s(kršitelj koda)ed to this developing nation or that as tokens of American good will.
Perhaps this is another reason why we're so highly regarded in the world today

BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER

In their first quarter of school, doctors learn that the brain has a special protection mechanism for keeping out certain substances. Some chemical structures may be OK in the rest of the body, but are destructive to brain cells. Doctors call this natural protection the blood brain barrier. It would be extremely useful in screening toxic vaccine ingredients like mercury, aluminum, and formaldehyde from an infant's formative brain cells. Just one problem: the blood brain barrier isn't formed until maturity. By which time American children have received how many vaccines?
Oh well.

OK, ovo je prilično opsežno, ali malo tko će to sve stvarno i pročitati. Poštenije je staviti linkove i komentirati bit članka pa 'ko voli nek izvoli.
Osim spomenutih posljedica prisutno ih je još, a svima je zajedničko da se cijepljenje provodi samo zato što je netko svoju mudroliju proglasio cjepivom, a imao je dovoljno para da tu svoju tvrdnju potkrijepi odgovarajućim odobrenjima u legislativi. Prava cjepiva protiv pravih boleština i dalje ne postoje.
Recimo, kad bih ja ponudio ekstrakt češnjaka kao cjepivo protiv gripe, ništa se ne bi dogodilo. S druge strane, kada nekakva velika kompanija ponudi svoju izmišljotinu kao cjepivo protiv gripe i u stanju je potrošiti veliku hrpetinu para u legislativu, onda čak i Svjetska zdravstvena organizacija daje preporuke o cijepljenju. To što se u međuvremenu ustanovilo da to cjepivo ne šljaka - samo potvrđuje prethodnu tezu.

Radi se o igri velikim brojevima. "Dobre namjere" koje stoje iza cijele pripovijesti samo su dio marketinga, a ključna je jedino zarada.

Jedini pošteni pristup je pravo informiranog izbora.

svjesna sam toga da je opsezno, ali sam ipak sve to iskopirala jer se precesto povlaci teza da je "istrazivanje" pokazalo da nema povezanoisti autizma i cjepiva, a ovdje vrlo detaljno pise cijela pozadina price-da nije bilo nikakvog istrazivanja, nego da zainteresirani lobiji pricaju i dalje svoju pricu, bez ikakvih znanstvenih dokaza.

ovo je za sve koji se ne zadovoljavaju takvim serviranim "istinama".
mene osobno su jako zanimali detalji oko te afere s Wakefieldom i kroz ove tekstove sam napokon pronasla dosta odgovora, a dosta sam dugo trazila, pa mozda jos koga bude zanimalo...

a sto se komentiranja tice, nemam potrebu, mozda sam iskomentirala vec samim boldanjem nekih dijelova teksta. ;)

Uf, stvarno je opsežno....
Ja imam pitanje - koja su cjepiva kod nas sa tiomersalom? Mislim da je ono protiv gripe za odrasle s tim.
I jednu opasku - ako dijete do 6 mjeseci ne izlučuje žuč, od čega mu je kakica obojena? Da je to istina, kakica bi bila bijela kao kreda a dijete ne bi moglo probaviti masti iz mlijeka.
Kakav je to časopis "Sanctity of Human Blood"? Nisu slučajno kakve Kule stražare?

mislim da je knjiga i da nema veze s kulom strazara:loool:

Bernard also notes that the body normally clears mercury by fixing it to bile. But before six months of age, infants don't produce bile. Result: mercury can't be excreted. (Koos and Longo, 1976)

To je u onom zadnjem velikom kojeg si postala (3. od kraja tvojih citirajućih postova).

aha, promaklo mi.
ne znam, ni meni nema logike, trebalo bi konzultirat literaturu.

MamaJu, znas da ja jos nisam dala MMR Noah(skoro 3 godine) niti docjepila Annabel s MMR(docjepljivanje u Canadi je s 4).

Za sad nisam imala nikakvih cudnih pitanja. U novembru Noah ide na onaj 3 godine pregled ali cisto sumljam da ce me ped uopce i upitati. Mislim da je do sada vec zaboravio moje odbijanje pa konta da sam dala. :lol:
