AUTISM
ERUPTS
We are seeing an escalating
epidemic of late onset autism. Indiana schools now have
autism rates thirty times those of only twelve years ago.
The number of autistic clients at centers run by the California
State Department of Developmental Services (DDS) increased
273 percent from 1987 to 1998.
In the four years since then, the cases have close to
doubled again, and the latest quarterly numbers show
they are continuing to explode at a record rate. Two- thirds
are children under age 13.
School districts all say they're also being inundated with
Asperger's children.
Yet Congressman Dan Burton says that whereas AIDS research
annually gets almost $1 Billion, and diabetes over $60 Million,
autism merits less than $12 Million.

VACCINE FACTS
One hundred years ago, children received 1 vaccine (the
smallpox vaccine). Forty years ago, children received 5
vaccines routinely (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio,
and smallpox vaccines) and as many as 8 shots by 2 years
of age.
Children now receive 52 vaccines, in the form of 15 shots,
by the time they are 6 months of age if they receive all
the recommend shots, including the Prevnar pediatric pneumonia
shot.
Vaccines contain THIMERSOL (mercury), MSG, aluminum, formaldehyde,
sucrose and phenoxyethanol, which is antifreeze, among many
other things. Thimerosal, a vaccine ingredient, is nearly
50% mercury.
Mercury is a NEUROTOXIN.
EPA 'safe' levels are: .1 microgram per 1.0 kilogram of
body weight per day. Vaccines contain 12.5 to 25.0 micrograms
of mercury, and a 'well baby' visit can see your child have
between 50 and 62.5 mcgs of MERCURY injected into their
bloodstream.
The CDC (US) has found a trend linking autism to mercury
laden vaccines.
Thimerosal is a registered pesticide with the Department
of Pesticide Registration of the Environmental Protection
Agency.
Vaccines given:
Day of Birth: Hepatitis B Contains 12 mcg mercury which
is 30 times above the 'safe' level
At 4 Months: DTaP and HiB on same day These contain 50 mcg
mercury which is 60 times above the 'safe' level
At 6 Months: Hep B, Polio These contain 62.5 mcg mercury
which is 78 times above the 'safe' level
At 15 Months, the child receives another 50 mcg mercury
which is 41 times above the 'safe' level.
Low levels of mercury during critical stages of development
have been associated with neurological disorders in children
including ADD learning difficulties, Autism and speech delays.
Wonder why we have an epidemic of these conditions? As of
2001, up to twenty-four vaccines are recommended from birth
to eighteen years.

Passive
protection conveyed by the mother is dismissed as less effective
than a vaccine.
However,
much research clearly documents that more protection is conferred
through breast milk than through artificially-induced antibodies.
Breast milk contains large quantities of secretory IgA, lysozyme-secreting
macrophages, and both T- and B-lymphocytes. The lymphocytes release
of gamma interferon, migration inhibition factors and monocyte
chemotatic factors, all of which strengthen the intrinsic immune
response of the infant. [1]
In
addition, the protection provided by breast milk is not short-lived.
There is evidence that the enhanced protection it provides lasts
for years.[2] In addition, concentrations of antibodies found
at six weeks of lactation are the same levels as those at six
months, so any amount of breast-feeding contributes to immune
enhancement. [3]
Children
less than 2 years of age are considered to be more susceptible
to infections by H. influenza type b and Streptococcus pneumoniae
bacterium, both major causes of otitis media and invasive bacterial
diseases. Although the infant's immune system may be less capable
of "mounting a response" to the polysaccharide cell
walls of the bacteria than an adult's immune system,
infection can again be offset by breast milk.
Components
within the milk have been found to inhibit both colonization and
tissue adherence. [4,5] The premise that conjugate vaccines are
essential for the protection of an infant omits this important
fact.
Vaccine-specific
antibody protection is considered to be the cornerstone of vaccination
success. In all studies published on vaccines, "efficacy"
is considered to be the development antibodies. When vaccines
are given together, the combination is considered "effective"
if both antigens generate an antibody response at least equal
to the response seen if a single antigen vaccine is given alone.
However,
is this an antibody response a valid presumption of disease protection?
Even
experts in the field admit that they don't know. During a discussion
regarding the approval of yet another acellular pertussis vaccine,
a panel member said,
".A
basic question is: Is antibody correlated with protection? In
the year 2000, we don't really know which antibodies protect,
let alone exactly what level of an antibody protects." Another
panelist went on to say, "The protective mechanisms [of the
immune system] are not understood. Is it antibody or is it cell
mediated or some assessment of memory that can occur in response
to infection?" [6]
The
Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) discloses
this regarding the pertussis vaccine, "The findings of efficacy
studies have not demonstrated a direct correlation between antibody
response and protection against pertussis disease."
Antibody
studies are only useful to compare immune responses elicited between
similar vaccines. Efficacy studies to measure clinical protection
conferred by each pertussis vaccine have not been done. [7]
Therefore,
antibodies apparently mean nothing.
The
H. flu vaccine has been found to have high avidity in vitro. This
means that there is a high affinity of attachment between the
antigen and the antibody. However, "the contribution [of
this] to clinical protection is unknown." [8]
Again,
"efficacy" as defined by the development of antibodies
apparently means nothing in relation to disease protection. Therefore,
using the antigen binding capacity of the immune system and its
ability to create an antibody response as a measure of safety,
also means nothing.
The
concept that 10,000 antigens could theoretically be deposited
uneventfully into the blood stream of either an infant or an adult
defies logic and is a blatant disregard for mechanisms of human
physiology.
By
injecting a vaccine into the body, the first four lines of normal
immune defense are by-passed:
Skin,
Mucous membranes,
Gut lymphoid tissue and
Lymphatic neutralization
This abnormal introduction of pathogens and adjuvants into the
blood stream does not "trick" the immune system: it
contaminates it.
 And
contaminate it we do. Children now receive 52 vaccines, in the
form of 15 shots, buy the time they are 6 months of age if they
receive all the recommend shots, including the Prevnar® (the
pediatric pneumonia shot.) That is because each viral or bacterial
particle contained
in the vaccine elicits an immune response.
So,
the measles, mumps and rubella vaccines are three separate vaccines.
The injectable polio vaccine (IPV) contains three strains of polio,
thus it is three vaccines. And this overwhelming amount of biological
material does not include the adjuvants, which can included MSG,
aluminum, formaldehyde, sucrose and phenoxyethanol, which is antifreeze,
among many others.
The
potential for disaster looms as multiple live and attenuated viruses
are combined during multiple vaccinations on the same day. In
a study reported in Science Magazine, two avirulent herpes viruses
were simultaneously injected in the footpads of mice. Many (62%)
of the mice that had received equal doses of each virus died while
none died that had received up to 100 times the diluted dose of
just one virus.
Eleven
recombinant viruses were isolated from the dead mice. Three of
these isolates were lethal when injected into the next set of
mice. This study demonstrates that in vivo, two avirulent viruses
can recombine with deadly results. [9] If two vaccine antigens
can cause a serious outcome when given simultaneously, then what
about "only 123-126"? Or 10,000?
Once
again, a "ground breaking" medical study has drawn media
attention by posting conclusions that are not supported by facts.
Stating that an infant has a large capacity to respond to antigens,
i.e. create an antibody response, does nothing to allay reasonable
fears and doubts by investigative parents.
Any
"thinking doctor" should recognize this "study"
for what it is: another opportunity to spread the mantra of "safe
and effective" vaccines. Perhaps in this way we won't question
the more than 200 vaccines that are currently in development or
resist the more than 20 that are anticipated to become part of
the childhood vaccination schedule by 2010.
A
"thinking parent" might conclude that, "if the
immune system is that strong, why do we need to vaccinate at all?
