Gardasil changed my life.

My name is Marie-Océane Bourguignon and I am 18 years old.  I would like to have a life like other girls my age but the Gardasil vaccine has filled my life with suffering.

When I was 15, I received two injections of this vaccine prescribed to prevent cervical cancer.  As a result of this, I suffer with a central nervous system disorder which has left me disabled and plagues my everyday life with fatigue, joint pains and difficulty concentrating.  This makes it very hard for me to continue my studies.  Due to all the adverse effects, I often miss school.

My life is not what it should be for a girl my age.  I can no longer go out with friends during the day or in the evening: I am too exhausted.  The trips to the beach which I used to love (we live near the sea in the Landes region of France) are now over because I can no longer tolerate heat and the sun.  As a student, I would like to get a part-time or summer job, but my condition makes this impossible.

According to medical examiners, my ailments were caused by the aluminium salts in the Gardasil vaccine.  More and more lawsuits are being filed against the manufacturer of this vaccine in France, an increasing number of doctors are questioning its usefulness and the French health authorities acknowledge that Pap smears are the most effective way to screen for cervical cancer, but the government is still pushing for all young girls to have this vaccine!

We must take action to prevent any more Gardasil victims.  I have therefore launched this petition, backed by French vaccine victim support groups E3M, REVAHB, CNMSE and Amalyste.  We call upon French Minister of Social Affairs Marisol Touraine, to declare a moratorium on the widespread use of this vaccination and to initiate impartial research into its usefulness.

The more signatures we have, the more the government will listen to us and not the pharmaceutical companies.  Please sign and circulate this message.

Petition to: Marisol Touraine, French Minister of Social Affairs

Declare a moratorium on the widespread use of the Gardasil vaccine and initiate impartial research into the usefulness of this vaccine.

Cordially,

[Your name]

France Debates Vaccine Safety#HPV#Vaccines#Health

France Debates Vaccine Safety

SaneVax-FeaturedBy Norma Erickson, President

On May 22, two conferences were held at the National Assembly on the subject of aluminum adjuvants in vaccines and the safety of HPV vaccines. (View the announcement here.)

Organized by E3M and hosted by Virginia Belle, the morning conference was entitled, “Aluminum and Vaccines: International Expertise Demands Action.” (View schedule here.) Scientists and medical professionals from various countries around the world were invited to present their research in an open forum to members of the French Parliament and French National Health Authorities with journalists and television cameras present.

Professors Romain Gherardi and Jerome Authier informed the audience of the preliminary results of their research which was funded by MSNA (the French Medicines Agency) which indicated a causal link between aluminum adjuvants and adverse events experienced after vaccination stating:

We injected normal mice, without any particular background, with either PBS as a control serum, or the hepatitis B  vaccine, Engerix. We did cognitive and motor testing at various intervals. We have the results of the first two times. At 45 days, there is no difference between the control group and the vaccinated group. By contrast, at 135 days (4 ½ months), three tests are significantly altered in the vaccinated mice only. What are these tests? Tests of anxiety, decreased activity, decreased stamina (including motor endurance), that is to say a series of symptoms resembling that exactly described by patients of chronic macrophagic myofasciitis.

Dr. Sin Hang Lee, described his Gardasil research to date, stating:

I have tested 16 samples of the HPV vaccine Gardasil, each of different lot number, from 9 countries, and found that they all contained fragments of residual HPV DNA, namely viral DNA which was used to manufacture the HPV vaccine antigens by a genetic engineering technology.

Furthermore, the viral DNA fragments in a non-B conformation were firmly bound to the aluminum adjuvant in the vaccine by ligand exchange, an inadvertently created chemical compound containing viral DNA which can be transfected into the host cells, namely the human phagocytes and macrophages.

Based on established research, this viral DNA can activate the innate immune system of the macrophages to generate and release cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor in the vaccine recipients.

In certain genetically predisposed individuals, the level of tumor necrosis factor may be high enough to cause hypotension, fainting, tachycardia, unexpected sudden death and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, namely adverse reactions which have been documented following Gardasil vaccination.

Professor Belec, head of the Laboratory of Virology, Hospital European Georges Pompidou, confirmed the work of Dr. Lee on Gardasil, stating:

We found residual viral DNA fragments, which should not be there. This is true residual contamination, probably related to the manufacturing process. Between 200 and 400 fragments of residual DNA in Gardasil. This is not normal.

What is the meaning? I do not know. Dr. Lee showed us in his work that this fragment was associated with aluminum hydroxyphosphate. This is not any normal way.

Vaccine Debates in French Parliament

This is but a sample of the information presented during the conferences held in Paris on the 22nd of May. The schedule for the day with a list of speakers is available here. All 16 presentations and the two very informative debates can be viewed in their entirety on the OPECST site.

At the conclusion of the morning session as a direct result of having the opportunity to hear both sides of the vaccine debate, the parliamentarians who were present (Jean-Louis Roumegas Danielle Auroi, Laurence Cohen, Jean Lassalle, and Sophie Errante) called upon the French government to:

  • Massively support rapid research so that the consequences of the accumulation of aluminum in the brain are established quickly and comprehensively
  • Make vaccines available without aluminum adjuvants
  • Not promote any campaign of mass vaccination with vaccines containing aluminum, as research has not provided satisfactory answers to safety questions
  • Recognize the group Action on Health

For the first time in France, open public debates have been held with arguments being heard from both vaccine promoters and vaccine safety advocates. These historic events need to be duplicated in every country around the globe.

Dr. Izard, himself a victim of macrophagic myofaciitis, stated it quite succinctly during his presentation when he said:

Pending the results of this work, the precautionary principle should apply. The population must have access to vaccines without aluminum adjuvants. The widespread vaccination against HPV should be put under immediate moratorium.

Senator and co-chair of the debate sponsored by OPECST, Corinne Bouchoux, proposed research be funded to discover treatment protocols for those suffering adverse events post-vaccination.

The debates in France were about more than HPV vaccines, but one has to remember HPV vaccines are a prime example of what can go wrong with a hastily instituted vaccination program.

As a society, we are injecting a healthy population of young people hoping that eliminating one of the risk factors for the development of cancer will make an impact on the disease prevalence – albeit decades down the road. Contamination with a new chemical compound that has completely unknown health consequences has been discovered and documented by two separate independent laboratories. Said contamination has been swept under the FDA/CDC carpet. Victims of adverse events are told it is all in their mind, coincidence, etc…

HPV vaccines are not the first time this type of scenario has played out. The time has come to stop discrediting those who discover something not quite right with any particular vaccine. The time has come to look at their findings and investigate to see if there is indeed a problem.

The time has come for government health authorities to meet the survivors of adverse reactions after HPV vaccinations face to face. The time has come to acknowledge vaccine injuries and find out how and why they happen. The time has come for open scientific investigation and debate.

Given all of the facts, perhaps more governments would choose precaution over promotion. Given all of the facts, perhaps more governments would choose science over psychosomatic.

Given all of the facts, medical consumers would actually be allowed to exercise their right to make informed choices.

My Road to Recovery Post-Gardasil#Vaccines#HPV#Health

By Kristin Clulow, Newcastle, NSW, Australia

My Recovery Post-Gardasil

My name is Kristin Clulow. I am 31 years old and live in Newcastle, Australia. I wrote an article a few years ago regarding my Gardasil experience. As this last post was over three years ago, I would like to take this opportunity to update you in the hope that it may be of assistance to you, or someone who you know who is suffering a similar illness.

In 2008, I received two out of three Gardasil vaccines. Soon after I lost the ability to run, skip, jump, dance, wear heels, and then struggled to walk in flat shoes, and then in a straight line. My writing disappeared; my speech followed. Any cuts and bruises would take months to heal, and would be multiplied by my increasing clumsiness and incoordination. I constantly felt sick, nauseous and suffered ‘brain fog’. The right side of my body had slumped, similar in physical manifestation to a stroke. My whole body would tremor with intention to do even the smallest task.

I was administered eight doses of Intravenous (IV) Methylprednisolone on two separate occasions (three and five doses respectively), which worsened the symptoms. The traits which were primarily limited to my right hand side now spread to the left hand side of my body, and were worsening.

Despite extensive physiotherapy and exercise as well as full-time work, my body continued to deteriorate to the point where in June 2009, my primary Neurologist stated ‘We have missed something’.

I underwent a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan. A PET scan is similar to a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scan, but is more minute in results. The individual is injected with a glucose resin, which highlights parts of the body of concern. In my case, it showed up that my cerebellum had switched off. I was diagnosed with a condition called Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM), which is an immune mediated disease of the brain, and may appear following a vaccination.

At this point, I was at my worse. I could not walk; I could not write; I could barely speak and could barely eat (as I could not find my mouth to ingest food). My nervous system, my immune system and myelin sheath surrounding my nerves were dissolved. I was given little hope of any improvement.

When faced with a situation such as this, there are two options: fight, or flight. Running away from this was not going to make it better. Fighting was the only chance I had – the harder option, but I do not shy away from challenges.

This one moment in time made me re-evaluate my life – my goals, my values, and the importance of relationships, material possessions, and overall issues. What I’ve realized is that without your health, you are helpless. And I also realized that out of great fear, comes great faith.

I researched neurosciences and neuroplasticity and believed that the brain could repair itself. I gave up full-time work at my doctor’s instructions for two years.

Instead of just concentrating on Gardasil, I returned to University to obtain another degree in Masters of Teaching (Secondary). Every day, I undertook extensive physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy and hydrotherapy, as well as hours of study, exercise and countless other activities.

Every 28 days, I was admitted to hospital to receive IV Immunoglobulin (IVIG). This was warranted due to my diagnosis of ADEM.

IVIG is a drug in limited quantity– its demand is much higher than stock in supply. CSL, the licensee of Gardasil in Australia refused to honor my claim on three separate occasions for this drug, although having access to it.

Ultimately, my family purchased this from a different supplier, had it flown to Newcastle and administered to me. I have no doubt that this played a huge role in saving my life. IVIG is wonderful medication. I suffered major headaches, but saw improvements in my motor skills.

There are issues however:

  1. It is not cheap. A lot of females suffering Gardasil cannot afford to have a PET scan or obtain this highly sought after drug. Nor can they get access to the top medical professionals that I had working on my case. Unfortunately, money and contacts go a long way in a case of this caliber.
  2. IVIG will not work for everyone, and;
  3. For a cheaper option, I would try homeopathy.

I class myself as a guinea pig for Gardasil. I have tried both Eastern and Western remedies. Some have worked, many have not worked.

For me, IVIG worked in western medicine. After trying just about everything in eastern medicine, I would recommend homeopathy in the first instance.

Approximately six months ago, I received word from another Gardasil Girl that there was a doctor, Dr. Isaac Golden, in Melbourne, Australia that was ‘fixing’ girls affected by Gardasil with his own personal remedy. This remedy does not reverse the effects of Gardasil. Instead, it helps the body in breaking down the barrier that Gardasil has created, allowing the body to recover itself.

At the time of receiving this advice, I had reached a plateau. Regardless of how much exercise I did, I could only see limited improvement, so I went to see Dr. Golden.

What he administers is completely natural. He is a homeopath, specializing in vaccination injuries. For me, I started on dose #1. All it took was placing two small tablets under the tongue every few days and allowing them to dissolve. I report back any progress and/or side effects to Dr. Golden every few weeks, and then it is decided if my dosage should be increased. At present, I am on #6. The price of these tablets is small and affordable.

Since beginning to take these tablets, I have noticed a decrease in my tremors, an improvement in my walking (I am starting to wear heels again), and the tone and speed of my voice has improved.

The side effects are that I get pain in my head on occasions. This pain is limited to the cerebellum area. I do get tired on occasions, but this could be due to the busy lifestyle that I choose to live.

I am still continuing to take these tablets and plan to do so indefinitely, as I believe they are assisting.

Approximately two months ago, I had a hair mineral analysis test conducted. This required taking a small portion of untreated hair out and sending it to a lab for testing. This test showed up that my body was high in Aluminum (a major ingredient in Gardasil), and that my body was not absorbing the nutrients from food. As such, I have booked in to see a dietician to resolve this issue.

I have heard that many Gardasil Girls suffer from food intolerances. I also suffered from this. I try to eat fresh food, limit processed food, and try and eat as much gluten free, lactose free and sugar free products as possible. I try not to eat takeaway foods, as well as trying to limit artificial colors and preservatives.

If you are having food allergies, I would recommend trying the ‘Elimination diet’. This is a slow process, but affordable, whereby you go back to basics (phase one is rice, chicken, beans and pears etc.) and then you add in different foods. You record your progress and find out which ones you have a reaction to.

This was conducted under the assistance of a dietician who was able to give me advice as I proceeded. I also had a gluten and lactose blood test, which showed that there was a level of intolerance, and also resulted in headaches, nausea, cramping and bloating.

Further, I attend Chiropractic care twice per week. My Chiropractor is a doctor with extensive experience and serves to readjust my spine and stimulate the nervous system and the cerebellum.

I try and attend the gym three to four times per week and undertake over an hour of cardio, weights and stretching. I am now able to interval run, however my right foot still lacks coordination. My strength and tone is improving. I also do additional exercise to challenge my body and brain. In the last few months I have tried surfing, stand up paddle boarding, dancing (many forms), yoga, Pilates – and the list goes on. Although I am not the best, I have shifted my mindset to ‘giving things a go’. Any form of exercise is beneficial and works out different muscles of your body.

As for my hands, my right hand was more affected than my left. Being right handed, I have relied heavily on the use of technology to aid in communication. I practice my handwriting; however still find it quicker and easier to type.

As a teacher, I am very grateful that our school uses electronic whiteboards, which limits the amount of writing. The staff and students are also extremely supportive of my present inability.

I was also a good pianist pre-Gardasil, and this has resulted in me going back to basics. I still know the notes and theory, but I was unable to play due to the tremors in my hands. Thankfully, this is slowly improving due to constant practice of technical work (e.g. scales).

I have suffered insomnia since Gardasil. Some nights I can sleep well, others, I average three to four hours sleep. I still suffer pain, primarily leg pain. For this, I take Panadeine. I try and exhaust my body as much as I can, as this often means I get a better sleep.

My life now is about 85% compared to before – if I had to put a quantitative measure on it. I say this simply because there are still things which I struggle to do – to walk, speak and write.

My friends see me as being completely normal, which is uplifting. I, however, am much harder on myself because I know what I was like before.

I have learned so much from my experiences after Gardasil. The happiness I experience daily because of this, far exceeds any feeling before. If I could change the past, I would not change a thing – as this experience has made me who I am today, and I truly believe that everything happens for a reason.

I trust that this, in some way, can be of assistance to you. Everyone is going to have different symptoms and different things work for different people.

If you have a daughter or a loved one going through this, my advice is this: they need you. They are too tired and too sick to fight for help to make it through. They need support. They need someone to go to doctor’s appointments with them.  When you have brain fog, you do not recall much. Make sure they keep a diary, or have someone who can record everything that happens. I know this is painful, but if you need to refer back to anything, it is easier to track it this way. Have a video/photo database.

This is something that I did not do, and I wish I had. But, I was so sick and tired (and looked terrible!) that I did not want photos being taken. But do it. If this ever escalates, you will need proof.

Listen to advice, try things that you think will work, and always stay positive. Having a bad attitude does not help (and gives you frown lines!).

Lastly, never give up. You will have times when you want to, when it seems pointless, hopeless, unfair etc. I have been there. I have felt all of those emotions – and more. But I am living proof that you can improve and that you can, once again, enjoy a quality of life.

If you would like any more information, I can be contacted via Facebook (Kristin Clulow) or via email: kristinclulow@live.com.au. I am in contact with hundreds of Gardasil girls and families all around the world and can put you in contact with the relevant people. We are all here for each other, and can help you.

Thank you and kind regards,

Kristin Clulow

Gardasil: My doctors said there were no side effects#Vaccines#Danish#Health

Gardasil: My doctors said there were no side effects

By Sanni Charlotte Falcke, Kalundborg, Denmark

Gardasil: No Side Effects?

Gardasil: No Side Effects?

I am a 29 year old girl from Denmark who was harmed by the HPV vaccine Gardasil… Here is my story:

For as long as I can remember I have struggled with my mind. I have Paranoid Schizophrenia. It hasn’t always been easy being me. Whatever I have experienced in the past bears no comparison with how I am feeling now as it is no longer a mental problem but a physical problem and this change in my health has occurred after being vaccinated with Gardasil.

Because I was infected with a strain of the HPV virus and developed cervical dysplasia, I had to have a cone biopsy. After my surgery the doctor very kindly but firmly said that I should get this new vaccine because I was in the risk zone.  I went home and thought about it but decided not to get it because it was very expensive.

After a year or two the Danish government decided to make the vaccine free for girls in my age group but it was a time limited offer so I contacted my doctor to hear more about it.  I asked her if there were any side effects but she just replied,

“No, this vaccine has no side effects. You may get some redness or swelling at the injection site but nothing else.” 

When a doctor says that, you believe it, so I got the first shot on 16th October 2012.

In the evening I began to feel sick, I had nausea and I threw up and developed a fever and chills. This continued for 3 days. When I finally felt a little better from having the fever, I began to feel dizzy and for no apparent reason I would just blackout out of the blue. When I had fainted 3 times I went to the doctor (not even thinking it could be the vaccine).  She took some metabolism tests because I have low metabolism and some additional tests to check out the vitamins in my body and to see if perhaps I was becoming a diabetic.   Every single test was fine but she said that my metabolism could be too low and even although the tests were fine she decided to increase the dosage of this particular medication I was taking.  As I fainted a couple of times more I went back to the doctor again and her conclusion at that time was that it could be a virus or something wrong with my ears.

It was time for my second shot on 17th December 2012. When I arrived at the doctor’s office, I asked the guy who was going to give me the shot if the influenza symptoms I had last time could be because of the vaccine. He said that the vaccine didn’t have any side effects and he had never heard of anybody getting ill, so it must have been influenza.

The same thing happened again. I got so sick but this time I also had a very powerful stomach pain. The weeks following this shot I just felt so awful, I was so dizzy that people actually thought I was drunk.  I began to have daily headaches and sometimes had a bad migraine. I couldn’t concentrate, had trouble remembering things, got extremely tired and could sleep anywhere any time. But not even then did I make the possible connection with the vaccine.

I went to the doctor about 10 times more, all regarding the symptoms above, but she said the same thing each time: “I can’t do any more for you Sanni. You have to contact an audiologist.” 

But in the middle of it all I was moving home and I had to put everything on hold until I was settled in my new home.

On 10th April 2013, it was time for my third and final shot.  I had a new doctor and I asked him the same thing I had asked my previous doctor, if the cause of my symptoms were the vaccine. My doctor answered with the same answer: “No, this vaccine has no side effects.”

So I went ahead and got the final shot.

Of course the same thing happened this time also, I got very ill, and with the same symptoms as the second time I had the shot.

When the influenza-like symptoms were over, I began fainting a lot again. I was very dizzy and couldn’t hold my balance. I got more and more tired, developed breathing problems and hyperventilated a lot. I didn’t have the strength for anything anymore and even my daily walks with my dog or playing with my stepson became impossible.  I was afraid to walk up and down our stairs so I didn’t get out as I used to. So I went back to the doctor, who did a billion tests and of course all of them were fine.

The whole family was in the yard and I decided to go down to meet them. We were just standing there chatting and suddenly I got very dizzy and blacked out. My mother in law saw what happened to me.  She rang 911 (or 112 here in Denmark) and they came very quickly. My blood pressure and ECG were fine but they decided to take me to the hospital anyway. At the hospital they did a lot of tests, but found nothing.

My boyfriend, family and myself were now feeling very uneasy and scared at what was going on. My family is just becoming so nervous at letting me be alone in case I should fall and injure myself badly. They watch over me constantly. 

I have always been a happy girl who could do whatever she set her mind to, but now I have to think very carefully about attempting daily tasks.  My bicycle days are over and I can’t even take the train because I am scared I will fall down onto the rails.

After Gardasil, I have had many problems but the one thing that stands out in my mind was when I had problems with serious cramps in my legs, paralysis in my legs and the feeling I got in my legs when I woke up in the morning and had to actually beat them to get them to waken up. Fortunately it’s “only” a sleeping sensation in my legs now, I haven’t got the same problems anymore… but the symptoms keep on coming and changing every week.

My whole life has changed. The life I could have had is always on my mind. What if I had not been vaccinated would I then have been able to get a job?  What if I had just listened to my subconscious worries, would I then have been able to have a child? 

A lot of things keep going through my mind and I can’t stop blaming myself a little bit for not researching this vaccine a bit more. But when I get mad at myself I try to turn this anger towards the company that made this vaccine, the government that provides the vaccine and the doctors who keep on wrongly reassuring young girls that this vaccine is safe and has no side effects.

But in my entire struggle there is some light ahead.  I had an appointment at the neurologist’s office today and as a birthday gift I finally got that (referral) that I have been asking for, for the last year.  I got a (referral) to the hospital for a tilt table test (vippelejetest) to establish whether I have POTS (Postural Tachycardia Syndrome) because of my fast heart rate and the trouble I am having with dizziness when I am standing up and of course the number of times I have fainted. I have also received a referral to yet another hospital to establish whether I have some neurological damage. I am so happy, finally I am getting somewhere.

Now I just need to get even better, it’s not easy, but I’m a fighter!

I really feel for all the girls all over the world that were harmed by this vaccine. I never ever thought that this could happen to me. I am sure they did not think they could be hurt either. Like them, I trusted my doctors, I trusted them when they said that the vaccine was safe, I trusted them when they said there were no side-effects.

Now I am much wiser, I just wish there had been somebody who had told me the truth before I decided to go ahead with the Gardasil vaccine.

Story reposted from SaneVax.org

Sanni, it is evident that you are a bright and determined girl.  I can’t help but think that you are teaching the doctors and so many around you. Hopefully, the word will spread to doctors that Gardasil/Silgard and Cervarix have had severe and numerous side effects in many cases.  These drugs should have been taken off the market ages ago.  It is nothing short of a crime that they are on medical  shelves today.

I hope your doctors learn from what you and others in Denmark are going through.  Sometimes people can be so blind of the obvious around them, and it becomes deeply frustrating to those in pain. I am so sorry you have had to endure this trial.  I am certain you will make a difference in another individual’s life and they will not have to endure this same trial, due to your honesty and strength of character. 

You have also displayed such humility and kindness in sharing your very personal story. Thank you.

I can’t tell you how relieved I am that you have found SaneVax Inc.  They are dedicated individuals that have located healing formulas for your specific ailment, and I am sure by now you have felt of their big hearts.  I am also including a link of a product that has significant healing properties that I use on a regular basis. 

Earlier tonight I needed to laugh to ease some of the pain I endure time and again, and so I watched some YouTube clips of my favorite comedy group.  I have included a few favorite clips for you.  I hope it brings you, and your loving, and supportive family some laughter, because we all know laughter is great medicine. 

All the best, and God be with you.  jen  🙂

Rapid Healing Method

After Gardasil: Will I ever get my normal life back?#Vaccines#BYUYA#Family

By Helena Overgaard Andersen, Helsingør, Denmark

Gardasil: I just want to be normal again.

I am a 15-year-old girl from Denmark, who unfortunately has been harmed by the HPV vaccine like thousands of other girls worldwide. I had no idea that this vaccine could change my life so much and take away all my energy. Since I was vaccinated I have been having more and more adverse reactions. At first we did not think that all my health issues were being caused by the vaccine. 

Before being vaccinated with Gardasil, I was always a very energetic and positive girl, I played handball 3-4 times a week and was very active in my spare time. My weekends were typically booked with tournaments, shopping and sleepovers and so on. I always looked forward to my weekends and sharing time with my friend.

April/June/November 2011: 

I received all Gardasil shots in 6th grade. I also had the last MFR (MMR in the United States) vaccine with the first shot of Gardasil. I had no concerns about receiving Gardasil, as the authorities encouraged me to be vaccinated in the many campaigns that were circulated at that time. I was not aware of any other girls in Denmark having a serious reaction to the Gardasil vaccine and as I was not informed that there could be a risk by the nurse doing the vaccination, I went ahead and had the three shots.  

Already in December I was throwing up and felt seasick. I also had trouble in particular with one of my ears; suddenly I could not hear anything for a week. It was also at that time my headaches started. I didn’t think that it had anything to do with the vaccine. We just assumed that it was some kind of virus. 

2012: 

Suddenly, all kinds of illnesses started to trouble me. I had pain and cramps in my stomach every day. I felt I could not eat anything for a period of 3-4 months. I also started to feel very nauseous every day. At that time, I did not even think there could be a connection with Gardasil. I had 35 days off from school but most of the time I tried to ignore the headaches and stomach pains as best I could in the hope that the symptoms I was experiencing would disappear somehow.  

January-May 2013: 

During this period in time, the nausea, headaches and the bloating were still with me, and I was actually starting to feel much worse.  I could not sleep. Most nights I fell asleep between 3 and 4 o’clock in the morning, and I began to feel frightened and became very anxious. I had several attacks of feeling very anxious, where it felt like I was paralyzed and could not move. Several times I had to go to the doctor because of the pain in my stomach. She thought it may be some kind of stress. 

I do not remember when, but during the spring of 2013 I began to have trouble with my legs. Before Gardasil, I could run at least 5 kilometers, but suddenly my legs felt like stones and my muscles were in pain. I could not warm up before handball matches like before. And I was completely finished after a match, and had to go home to lie down for the rest of the day. Sometimes my legs felt like they were burning inside and some days I could hardly walk. 

At the same time I realized that my hands and feet were turning purple even though it wasn’t cold at all. 

June-August 2013: 

The holiday period was starting and I looked forward to going to Turkey and Malta on holiday.  On the day we were going to Malta, I had hardly had any sleep that night and I felt very shivery inside. I was also feeling very nauseous. 

My mother was very close to cancelling the holiday, because she was concerned at how I was feeling. But we went on holiday anyway and I fell asleep on the way to the airport and felt a little better. But my stomach was in pain all the time, and I could only walk very slowly when we went out for dinner in the evening. 

When the school started again, I was experiencing chronic tiredness (fatigue), “calf-cramps” and constipation/diarrhea.  My world just collapsed in these days, I felt unwell most of the time. 

September-December 2013:

My mother accidentally heard about a girl in the news, who suffered with adverse reactions from the Gardasil vaccine.  It did not take her long to find out that there were other girls who were experiencing adverse reactions to the vaccine and these girls were suffering from very similar health issues to mine. 

She called our doctor and spoke with her about it. But the doctor would not hear about it at all.  She said: “There are no such side effects.” 

My mother got in touch with another Danish mother who had been on the news and we are now 100% certain that all my adverse reactions are because of the vaccine. 

We didn’t feel that the doctor could help, as she didn’t think anything was wrong with me after taking a lot of blood tests which didn’t show anything. 

My mother and I joined a Facebook group (HPV adverse reactions) where we got a lot of hints from the other girls of how we could make changes to try and get better. We changed my diet to eliminate food with lactose and gluten. I also have been having treatment by a homeopath but still feel very weak and am not able as yet to play handball. 

January-February 2014:

I am experiencing bad constipation and this can go on for several days.  No matter that I had changed my diet and now eat more healthily, nothing seems to work.  I just watch my stomach getting bigger and bigger and becoming more uncomfortable.  

Adverse reactions I have been experiencing:

  • § Headaches (every day)
  • § Nose bleeds
  • § Abdominal pains (weekly);
  • § Chronic constipation;
  • § Gluten and dairy allergy;
  • § Dizziness;
  • § Sleeplessness;
  • § Bad balance
  • § Shivering inside
  • § Put on weight ;
  • § Forgetfulness;
  • § Low-back-pain;
  • § Cramps in hands and legs;
  • § Neck pain
  • § Tooth pain
  • § Knee pain
  • § Inability to concentrate;
  • § Bloating; Nausea;
  • § Cold hands and feet turning purple;
  • § Fatigue;
  • § Spotty skin from time to time
  • § Fear; Panic attack
  • § Like electric shock inside the body and in head
  • § Chest pain
  • § Problems with breathing
  • § Fainting (4 times)
  • § Feeling that my heart is jumping out
  • § Feel feverish without having a fever
  • § Pain in my fingers

 As I am now in touch with many other girls who have been vaccinated with Gardasil and who also have been suffering many health issues, many similar to mine, I am determined to do the best I can to investigate ways of improving my health.  

I do not feel that my doctors can help me as they do not appear to recognize that this vaccine is causing many health issues among young girls, not just in Denmark but in many other countries, wherever this vaccine is administered. 

I know, as does my family, that I have had a bad reaction to Gardasil but my hope is that our doctors will acknowledge that something very strange has happened, not just to me, but to many other young people and at least investigate this more thoroughly.  

All we ask for is to be able to return to the normal life we once led and hope that our doctors will help us achieve this.  SaneVax.org

Helena, I am sorry for the response you have received from your doctor.  Let’s hope she will familiarize herself with recent, world-wide studies.  I am sure she is a bright doctor, since you had chosen her. I have to think that Denmark will become another leading nation of knowledge in this area.  I am surprised they are not up to speed yet.  I have a great admiration for the Dane’s self-reliance.

Thankfully, you have such a wonderful and supportive family.  That makes all the difference.  Even though things are very tough right now, you started with a great beginning, and you will no doubt end with the best possible result. It is so uplifting to see you reaching out to others who have been injured as well.  Your positive and upbeat attitude will brighten their day and make yours go smoother too.

I wish you all the best. Fortunately you have been led to SaneVax Inc.  They have many helpful resources and please feel free to search my site for Featured Doctors and healing resources as well. 

I have included a few links to one of my favorite groups.  I have been a fan of their performances since I was a girl.  Their music is very comforting and exciting to listen to. I was lucky to catch their concert this month.  It was Amazing!! Maybe they will tour in Denmark sometime in the future. I hope you will enjoy and know that you and your family are in our prayers.  God be with you, jen  🙂
