NYT: CDC Makes Horrible Ebola Lab Error#iBelieve#retweet#vaccines

The New York Times reports that Centers for Disease Control (CDC) experts have made a crucial error resulting in possibly exposing a technician to the deadly Ebola virus. The mistake highlights the point of the article (printed below) first published several months ago that disputed the notion of some experts who claimed there was “zero risk” to people in the U.S. from Ebola virus since top, highly-trained health experts in the U.S. were on the job. There is a history of occasional but serious mishaps by CDC experts who handle deadly infectious diseases.

According to the New York Times:

A laboratory mistake at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may have exposed a technician to the deadly Ebola virus, federal officials said on Wednesday. The technician will be monitored for signs of infection for 21 days, the incubation period of the disease. A small number of other employees, fewer than a dozen, who entered a lab where the mistake occurred will also be assessed for exposure.

The Times reports the mistake happened earlier this week when a high-security lab at CDC in Atlanta, working with Ebola from West Africa, sent samples to a CDC lab down the hall. The samples were supposed to be inactivated. But the lab sent out the wrong samples: ones that may have contained live virus. A technician worked with the samples wearing only gloves and a gown but no mask…

Gut bacteria may play a role in eating disorders#iBelieve#Health#Eatingdisorder

By Dr Flannery

Eating disorders affect an estimated 5 to 10 percent of the population and are generally thought to be a psychological disorder. However, new research from France shows gut bacteria can also play a role in causing eating disorders. The study showed eating disorders developed in mice who had an immune reaction to a protein made by gut bacteria. Basically they reacted to these proteins as if they had an allergy or sensitivity to them. The protein made by the gut bacteria is very similar in structure to a satiety hormone called alpha-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH). When the immune system reacts to the protein it reacts to the a-MSH too because they are so similar. This reaction causes the immune system to attack a-MSH, which regulates feeding, energy usage, and anxiety.

Mistaken identity and friendly fire by the immune system

When a pathogen, such as infectious bacteria, is similar to a tissue or hormone in the body and the immune system can’t distinguish between the two and attacks both, this is called cross-reactivity. It is a very common cause of autoimmune reactions. For instance, gluten, the protein in wheat, cross-reacts with tissue in the brain. Many people with gluten sensitivity develop neurological disorders because when the immune system attacks ingested gluten it attacks the brain too, confusing it with gluten. The same holds true for dairy and some cases of type 1 diabetes, and other foods and autoimmune diseases. This study opens the door to the possibility that eating disorders may have an immune component at their root driving the psychological disorder.

Ways to address an unhealthy relationship with eating nutritionally

Although serious eating disorders are complex and require intensive therapy, certain nutritional strategies can help you obtain a more balanced approach to eating and food. The key is to follow a diet that fosters healthy brain chemistry.

Eliminate processed carbohydrates from your diet as they are addictive and skew brain chemistry in the way other addictive substances do. This can foster an unhealthy relationship with food.

Eating to keep blood sugar stable is a vital component to curbing cravings, obsessions with food, and a constant feeling of hunger. Avoid sweet, starchy foods, coffee drinks and energy drinks, going too long without eating, and relying on coffee for breakfast. Many people need to eat small, protein-dense meals frequently in the beginning to stabilize blood sugar.

It’s also important to base your diet on plenty of vegetables — research shows a plant-based diet affects the composition of gut bacteria and affects energy usage and fat storage in a way that promotes being slender naturally — without having to obsess over it.

Supporting your neurotransmitters, brain chemicals that affect mood and brain function, can also help you stabilize your approach to eating. Your brain may need serotonin or dopamine support. Serotonin is important to feel joy and ward off depression, while dopamine support may be helpful to feel motivation and ward off cravings. Both have been shown to play a role in eating disorders.

Ask my office for more advice on how to support a healthier approach to balanced, obsession-free eating.

FDA approved Gardasil 9: Malfeasance or Stupidity?#HPV#Family#iBelieve

jlvranes Leave a comment

By Norma Erickson

SaneVax-FeaturedMalfeasance is when a public official violates the public trust by performing an act that is wrongful, legally unjustified, or contrary to law. Nonfeasance is the failure to act where there is a duty to act. Misfeasance is conduct that is lawful but inappropriate. Perhaps, when it comes to the recent approval of Gardasil 9 all of these apply.

10 December 2014: The FDA approved the use of a reportedly ’new and improved’ version of Gardasil, which will be marketed as Gardasil 9. According to the FDA approval letter, this action was taken without consultation with VRBPAC (the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee) which is responsible for reviewing and evaluating data concerning the safety, effectiveness, and appropriate use of vaccines and related biological products.

The FDA approval letter, signed by Marion Gruber, Director of Office of Vaccines Research and Review CBER,  states the reason for bypassing the advice of VRBPAC writing:

”We did not refer your application to the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee because our review of information submitted in your BLA, including the clinical study design and trial results, did not raise concerns or controversial issues which would have benefited from an advisory committee discussion.”

So, the Office of Vaccines Research and Review, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) committee took it upon themselves to decide there were ”no concerns or controversial issues” regarding the approval of Gardasil 9?

This division of CBER decided there would be no benefit from ”an advisory committee discussion”?

FDAAccording to their own mission statement, the FDA is ”responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation.”

The FDA, and all committees associated with the FDA, are public officials and therefore obliged to act in the public’s best interest particularly when it comes to health and safety issues.

Is bypassing advisory committee discussions regarding Gardasil 9’s potential safety and efficacy acting in the public’s best interest, or is it malfeasance, nonfeasance and/or misfeasance?

Examine some Gardasil 9 facts

CBER decided there was no need for VRBPAC to review or evaluate any data concerning the safety, effectiveness, and appropriate use of Merck’s proposed Gardasil 9 vaccine before making a decision to approve the nine-valent HPV vaccine. This move is particularly disturbing when one considers the worldwide controversy surrounding Gardasil’s safety, effectiveness and appropriate use.

The proposed Gardasil 9 package insert and the current Gardasil package insert are a good place to start a critical examination. The table below lists the ingredients of both Gardasil and Gardasil 9. All differences from one HPV vaccine package insert to the next are highlighted.

Gardasil Ingredient Gardasil 9
225 mcg AAHS (aluminum adjuvant) 500 mcg
9.56 mcg Sodium Chloride 9.56 mcg
.78 mcg L-Histidine .78 mcg
50 mcg Polysorbate 80 50 mcg
35 mcg Sodium Borate 35 mcg
<7 mcg Yeast Protein <7 mcg
20 mcg HPV 6 L1 protein 30 mcg
40 mcg HPV 11 L1 protein 40 mcg
40 mcg HPV 16 L1 protein 60 mcg
20 mcg HPV 18 L1 protein 40 mcg
HPV 31 L1 protein 20 mcg
HPV 33 L1 protein 20 mcg
HPV 45 L1 protein 20 mcg
HPV 52 L1 protein 20 mcg
HPV 58 L1 protein 20 mcg

Take a look at the first line in the chart to the left. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin. A quick search of PubMed for ’aluminum toxicity human’ returns no less than 1652 peer-reviewed and published scientific papers on the subject. Why did Merck more than double the amount of aluminum adjuvant in Gardasil 9?

What long-term health consequences are associated with the injection of 1,500 mcg of aluminum over a period of less than a year via 3 doses of Gardasil 9?

Does this risk increase if Gardasil 9 is received at the same time as another vaccine containing an aluminum adjuvant? If so, how much?

Surely the members of CBER are aware there are potential health risks resulting from aluminum exposure. Did they discuss these risks before making a decision?

Why did Merck increase the amount of HPV L1 protein for 3 of the HPV types already contained in the first version of Gardasil and not for the 4th type? Why do the amounts of these increases vary so much from one HPV type to another?

Are there any potential health risks associated with increasing the total amount of antigen (HPV L1 protein) from 120 mcg in Gardasil to 270 mcg in Gardasil 9?

There seems to be no public record of the CBER meeting, so the general public – including medical professionals who will be expected to administer this new HPV vaccine to their patients may never know whether or not these subjects were even discussed.

Bombshells from the Gardasil 9 package insert

The potential risks discussed above pale in comparison to some of the bombs dropped in the rest of the Gardasil 9 package insert. Any medical professional who reads the entire package insert and still recommends the use of either Gardasil, or Gardasil 9 does not care about the health and well-being of their patients.

Bombshell #1 Serious Adverse Events

According to the FDA a serious adverse event must fit one of the following criteria: death, life-threatening, hospitalization, disability or permanent damage, congenital abnormality/birth defect, or the requirement to intervene to prevent permanent impairment.

According to the Gardasil 9 package insert, the following percentage of serious adverse events were collected during follow-up (up to 48 months):

SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS

Number receiving shot Type of vaccine Percentage Serious AE’s Number of Serious AE’s
13,236 Gardasil 9 2.3% 305
7,378 Gardasil 2.5% 185

For the first time, Merck has disclosed what may indeed be close to the true rate of serious adverse events people are suffering after the use of Gardasil and will probably continue to suffer if they consent to using Gardasil 9. The only difference would be that the rates may be higher when used in the general population because certain at-risk groups are excluded from clinical trial participation but not from vaccination programs.

2.3-2.5% doesn’t sound that bad until you compare apples to apples. Cervical cancer rates are always quoted as # per 100,000. Given the above information, for every 100,000 people using Gardasil 9 there would be 2,300 serious adverse events. The cervical cancer diagnosis rate in the United States is 7.9/100,000.

What health official in their right mind is willing to anticipate 2,300 serious adverse events to try and prevent 7.9 cases of cervical cancer?

Keep in mind that the cost of vaccinating 100,000 people is around $30 million ($100 per injection, 3 injections). This doesn’t even begin to address the cost of treating 2,300 serious adverse events, the emotional, physical and financial expense to families and the cost to society via the lost productivity of the injured.

Bombshell #2 Systemic Autoimmune Disorders

An autoimmune disorder occurs when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys healthy body tissue by mistake. There are more than 80 types of autoimmune disorders. Many of the people diagnosed as suffering systemic autoimmune disorders after HPV vaccines were first mis-diagnosed with conversion disorder or psychosomatic illnesses. Below are the rates of “new medical conditions potentially indicative of autoimmune disorders” experienced during Merck’s Gardasil 9 clinical trials.

SYSTEMIC AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS

Number receiving shot Type of vaccine Autoimmune Disorders Number
13,234 Gardasil 9 2.4% 321
7,378 Gardasil 3.3% 240

So, in addition to the serious adverse events, you now have an additional 2,400 people who may be left with systemic autoimmune disorders. How can any health official possibly think Gardasil 9 is worth this kind of risk?

Bombshell #3 Pregnancy Outcomes

According to the Gardasil 9 package insert, 1,028 women who were injected with Gardasil 9 became pregnant during the course of the clinical trials along with 991 women who had been injected with Gardasil. Overall, 14.1% of the Gardasil 9 women suffered adverse outcomes while 17.0% of the Gardasil women suffered the same fate. A total of 313 women either lost their babies to spontaneous abortion or late fetal death or gave birth to children with congenital anomalies.

This population was further broken down into those who became pregnant within 30 days of an injection and those who became pregnant more than 30 days post-injection. The charts are below.

OUTCOME WHEN INJECTED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF PREGNANCY ONSET

Number of pregnancies Type of vaccine % abortion/stillborn Lost Babies
62 Gardasil 9 27.4% 17
55 Gardasil 12.7% 7

OUTCOME WHEN INJECTED MORE THAN 30 DAYS BEFORE PREGNANCY ONSET

Number of pregnancies Type of vaccine % abortion/stillborn Lost Babies
960 Gardasil 9 10.9% 105
933 Gardasil 14.6% 136

Note: The numbers from these two charts do not add up to the total number Merck stated in the first paragraph. That is because in the ’more than 30 days’ group there were also 20 cases of congenital anomalies after Gardasil 9 and 21 cases after Gardasil.

Merck stated in the package insert, ”The proportions of adverse outcomes observed were consistent with pregnancy outcomes observed in the general population.”

Unless they are talking about some country other than the United States, THIS IS NOT TRUE.

According to the CDC’s latest publication on fetal mortality, the rate of spontaneous abortions and fetal deaths in the United States is 6.05/1,000 pregnancies or 0.605% – hardly 10.9%, much less 27.4%, and certainly not ’consistent with outcomes observed in the general population’ of the United States.

Do CBER officials not even go to the trouble of verifying the ’facts’ presented by vaccine manufacturers when they are ’evaluating data concerning the safety, effectiveness, and appropriate use’ of vaccines?

Whether these actions, or lack of proper actions are a result of malfeasance, laziness, or just plain stupidity does not matter at this point. It is obvious to the most casual observer the FDA either cannot or will not properly handle their responsibility to protect and preserve the public’s health and safety. They have violated the public trust.

There is absolutely no excuse for exposing young women and men to this level of risk for a vaccine that provides nothing other than promises of results far down the road.

The FDA needs to be removed from the responsibility of ’assuring the safety, efficacy and security’ of vaccines. It is quite obvious they are not up to the task. They are most certainly not acting in the best interests of the public.

Medical consumers – do not consent to the administration of Gardasil 9 unless you and your medical provider have read and discussed the entire package insert together. The choice is yours, make it an informed one.

Gardasil: I should have researched first#HPV#Family#retweet

By Paula from Alzey, Germany

When I received my first Gardasil-Vaccination/Immunization at the beginning of the Easter holidays in 2014, I felt very uncomfortable. It felt as if I had been injected with something viscous, like dough or batter.

The spot in which the needle was pricked, was very thick and hard. Furthermore, it hurt and I directly fainted at the ambulance. I was put on a lounger and after a short while I was able to stand up again. We didn`t do anything to combat the pain because I thought it`s something like a bruise.

One day later: I stood up like always, but I had a strong giddiness and felt as if I had a glass dome above my head. Three days later I was experiencing palpitations during the evenings for around one week. Also I often had chills and would shiver a lot. Afterwards I sweated and my right leg and right arm were vibrating (nervous twitching).

In school I was distracted and couldn`t concentrate. This lasted for a few weeks. For eight weeks I ran a fever every day. The doctor called it sub-febrile temperature. The whole thing was so bad that I could not sleep, stand up or eat anything. The vaccinating house doctor told me that my discomfort had nothing to do with the vaccination.

I had to give up my favorite sport because I was not able to take part in training anymore. Since I missed a lot of school lessons (classes), I have to catch up a lot. This is very exhausting so my family and I decided to cancel my sport school membership to fully concentrate on my academic studies at school. Even though I felt well again it would be too much at the moment.

But back to my bad time after the vaccination!

My blood was tested two times and my Immunoglobulin M was much too high. The doctor prescribed some antibiotics because she had no other solution. She didn´t want me to get a bacterial infection in addition to the virus infection.

It had been found out that the Gardasil-Vaccination triggered Gluten and Histamine hyper-sensitivity. Whenever I eat normal bread I get a bad stomach which will last until the next day.

In May I went for the first time to the osteopathic practice of Chr. Plothe. There, my problems were taken seriously for the first time. Everything was explained to me in detail and they carried out a lot of tests (blood, etc.). I was given the services of a dietitian and my therapy was discussed. I also had to take some dietary supplements, was detoxified, got infusions and was treated by an osteopath. Step by step I felt better.

In general, I missed school for forty days. Often, my mother brought me to class for only two lessons, because I was not able to handle more. Simply the bus drive to school was impossible for me.

It was remarkable that my palpitations (which I had only for one week in the beginning), the shivering and the twitching of my leg and my arm strongly reoccurred shortly after the first Glutathione infusion. It felt as if my body worked very hard. The high doses of Vitamin C infusions which I was given in the clinic helped me a lot. Moreover I felt much better after the osteopathic treatment.

Since the first week of summer vacation I feel very well again. The glass dome above my head disappeared. I have new energy and I am able to stand up in the morning.

After the holidays I was in school for one complete week. I am able to keep attending class and to do my homework afterwards. Two months ago I thought that I would never get healthy again.

I am so thankful to have been able to go to this clinic and receive this treatment and I would highly recommend it. It saved me from having long-term health issues.

How I wish we had looked into the side effects which can occur with the Gardasil vaccine before agreeing to being inoculated.

I strongly recommend that every family does a thorough investigation before deciding to use Gardasil. Check the internet. You will find many thousands of young people with serious health issues after being vaccinated with Gardasil.

I am one of the lucky ones who was given a treatment that helped me recover. Many others have not been so lucky.

Paula, I am so glad you found Chr. Pothe’s Osteopathic office. They sound like they must have been a godsend, when you needed them most.  Thank you for taking the time to help others avoid a brutal situation, and help direct those, in need of care.

You are a very determined individual, and I hope that your future opens up to beautiful opportunities for you.  Below is a little artistic gift that I hope you enjoy.

I was captivated by the great work taking place for the Nepali children through the Everest Learning Academies.  I am especially intrigued with the level of health that such a high percentage of children enjoy.  It would be great if more children worldwide could receive this level of health, and in so doing raise the current definition of “normal”.

Two Mystery Illnesses Linked to 12 Child Deaths; 94 Paralysis Cases Since August#Family#retweet#iBelieve

by sattkisson

In the span of four months, at least 94 children in 33 U.S. states have developed a devastating form of paralysis with symptoms similar to polio. Some require a ventilator to breathe. And some of the greatest government health minds in the country say they have no idea what’s causing it.

At the same time, during the past four months, at least 12 children have died after falling ill with a respiratory virus called Enterovirus D-68 (EV-D68). Again, federal health officials are at a loss to explain the origin of the epidemic.

Are the mysterious outbreaks linked…

27 year old Short Hills, NJ resident dropped dead within 48 hours of flu shot#Flu#retweet#Family

jlvranes Leave a comment

Wednesday, December 3, Jeffrey’s family finds him dead.

What significant event had occurred in the past 48 hours?  A flu shot.   I am sure this 27 year young man, and his family were looking forward to spending the holidays together, but not at a funeral.

He was a healthy young man, free of any medications, enjoyed working out, time with his girlfriend, family, and working.

My heartfelt condolences to his family, and friends.  I hope you can find peace during this time.

I suspect that Jeffrey felt media pressure to take this flu shot.  You hear the advertisements on the radio, t.v., and more, and more stores are wallpapering their walls with flu shot advertisements.

The pressure that employees are facing from employers to take the flu shot is intense.  With threats to lose bonuses, one’s job or gain an unfair reputation of being difficult in the workplace.  Isn’t this asking too much from employees?  Is it worth it?

I was contacted by a physician in Italy last week, regarding 12 deaths in Italy, and one in Switzerland where individuals died within 48 hours of a flu shot.  The pharmaceutical company reported it as a bad batch local to the area with concurrent, minimal media coverage, and limited, scattered facts.

I am sure I am not the only one with an uneasy feeling that something just doesn’t add up or maybe it is, in the pharmaceutical company bank account.

Until the full truth comes forward, and who knows how long that will take, then the chance of a fever, chills, and cold doesn’t sound so bad.

African Women Injected With Vaccines Laced with Anti-fertility Hormones#retweet#Vaccines#Pregnancy

by Christina England

Recently, there has been a flurry of reports in the media claiming that women of childbearing age in Kenya have been vaccinated with tetanus vaccinations containing the anti-fertility hormone hCG, rendering them infertile.

The reports came in after doctors from the Kenyan Catholic Doctors Association found an antigen causing miscarriage in the tetanus vaccinations that were administered to 2.3 million girls and women by the World Health Organization and UNICEF. [1]

In October 2014, Dr. Wahome Ngare, a member of the Catholic Doctors Association, told Points of View at KTN Weekend Prime that the women of Kenya had been vaccinated with a new tetanus vaccine that had not come through the usual channels and stated that the Catholic Church administers 65 percent of all vaccines…
