Recovering from my Gardasil Nightmare#android#iPad#retweet

My Gardasil Nightmare is Nearly Over

When I originally wrote my Gardasil story as a cautionary tale for others, I thought the worst was over. I had battled for almost six years and was left with only periodic numbness/tingling in my hands to deal with at that point. I believed the worst was over and I could begin to get on with my life. That was in October of 2013.

In 2014, the roller coaster ride began again. My hands became worse; the tingling and numbness traveled to my legs. I would have moments of paralysis forcing me to rely on crutches to get around for a few days each month. My sleep patterns became irregular. I would stay awake for 4 days straight before collapsing from sheer exhaustion and physical weakness. The numbness and tingling I previously had in my hands progressed to tremors that never stopped, even when I was sleeping. Tremors so bad they stopped me from successful photography, hindering my ability to complete my home-based projects or even use everyday tools.

So, I began a new journey visiting more doctors, doing more tests. After some careful observation, we were able to pinpoint the exact time frame during which my symptoms got worse and I would lose normal function of my hands and feet along with the annoying hot pins and needles feelings. It was around the time of my menstrual cycle.

After determining this, I went to see a chiropracter for the first time where I was given some good lifestyle advice. I started on some new detox programs and parasite cleanses in hopes of seeing some improvement. I had been eating clean organic foods but my blood sugar would still peak and dip causing moments of confusion, mood swings, the shakes and weakness. I was able to correct these problems through a new diet that cut out all sugars. It was a great feeling to eliminate those symptoms once my blood sugar was corrected.

Shortly after, I was able to meet with a new doctor about my symptoms to try and gain a different perspective. She gave me a clinical diagnosis of Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Believe it or not, it was somewhat of a relief to have a diagnosis that would explain the majority of my limb symptoms including why my hands were stuck in a claw position.

Next, I went to get a full blood panel to see what that would tell me. Almost everything came back normal. This was my 3rd blood panel in the years since my Gardasil injections. It only revealed that I was low in B6 and D3. So, for the first time in my life, I started taking supplements. They did nothing for me and none of us could figure out why.

I bought several books and spoke to several amazing Gardasil-injured girls  who found healing using different methods. But, none of the methods would work for me. I was growing tired of visiting so many doctors and having to explain everything over and over again. But, I was not going to give up.

I spent all of 2014 seeking answers only to end up having a major life-threatening stroke in January of 2015. I was sitting on the couch and felt a really bad throbbing ache behind my left eye. Then, all of a sudden, I had a ”bursting” sensation. I screamed for my husband and he sat with me. I was unable to speak or even understand where I was at. I was screaming in pain as I felt a traveling sensation go up and over my left ear, resting at the base of my skull. I ended up going to bed because the pain exhausted my entire body.

I woke up in the middle of the night from the lingering pain and experienced a stroke. My left eye was fully dilated and everything was confusing. I immediately went and got an MRI. It came back ”unremarkable.”

Then, I got my eyes checked to see if anything was wrong. Those tests also came back normal.

I felt like I had come to another dead end. What if I did not survive my next stroke? My children would be motherless.

So, I set out on another research adventure and put the doctors aside. They were not finding anything and I was not healing.

Is the answer in your Methylation Cycle?

I work with many parents in the autism community and entered into a conversation with some of them about genetics and genetic mutations. I was absolutely fascinated.

They were talking about MTHFR genetic mutations which were identified by the Human Genome Project in 2003. MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. This mutation is thought to be a key to all disease, autoimmune disease, and neurological issues in addition to making people more susceptible to adverse reactions to vaccines, medications and supplements.

If we look at immunogenetics and adversomics we can begin to understand why certain people have adverse reactions to vaccines. Vaccines are causing genetic expression. The methylation cycle is very important in the human body. It also dictates how the immune system functions.

After a few months researching, I ended up ordering a test from 23andme.com. I sent my spit test in and the results came back. Guess what? I have the MTHFR C667T mutation along with other mutations that contribute to stroke (Val12Met) and cancer (BRCA). I also have the ’Fragile X’ gene (FMR1). The results were overwhelming.

I immediately sought out additional information on this and joined a MTHFR group. I started out by trying a B12 supplement tailored to my genetic mutation(s). It was called Methylcobalamin. The first time I took it, it knocked me out flat. I was wiped out for several days – almost as if I was in an alcoholic stupor. The fatigue was terrible. I felt betrayed.

But then I switched to taking it before bed, and what do you know, I slept the entire night! So I was taking this every night because research says you must be on it regularly to keep in in your system. Every day was a new milestone for me. My hands unclenched from their claw positions. My legs stopped tingling. I could feel my feet for the first time in a long time. My hands were able to feel again. My tremors, paralysis, burning, tingling, pins and needles sensations dissipated a little each night until they were no more. It was almost unbelievable. I cried tears of joy!

After regulating my methylation cycle with the B12, I decided to try the supplements again. I started taking chlorella, selenium, vitamin D3, Lithium Orotate and probiotics. It was as if every single supplement kicked in all at once.

I was happy again. I could keep up with my children. I finally have my life back!

My Gardasil injections were in 2007. This is the first time in 8 years I can finally say I feel ”normal” again. So far, it has been three entire months of being healed. I believe my Gardasil Nightmare is finally over.

I would like to take a moment to thank the autism community and particularly The Thinking Mom’s Revolution. Without them I would have never known the importance of the methylation cycle, MTHFR, and glutathione.

Please understand that what works for one Gardasil-injured girl may not work for another. Sometimes you have to take very slow steps when introducing new healing methods in order to avoid further injury. It was a very long and slow, trial and error process discovering which methods would work for me. The amount of detoxing I did through the past year set the stage for further healing.

I highly recommend genetic testing as a good place to start. It gave me a blueprint to go by; maybe it will do the same for you!

FDA Prepares to Fast Track New Vaccines Targeting Pregnant Women#android#iPad#retweet

By Barbara Loe Fisher

Birth defects, chromosomal damage, premature birth, low birth weight, pregnancy complications and sudden infant death syndrome, not infectious diseases, are the leading causes of death for about 23,000 infants dying before their first birthday in the US every year, with half of those deaths occurring on the first day of life. 1   2  Women getting pregnant and delivering babies in America today have more than twice the risk of dying during pregnancy, childbirth or within one year of giving birth than they did three decades ago, with heart failure, high blood pressure and stroke, diabetes, and blood clots being among the leading causes of death. 3   4

In 2006, CDC officials directed doctors to give all pregnant women a flu shot 5  and, in 2011, a Tdap shot during every pregnancy, no matter how little time has elapsed between pregnancies. 6   Prior to FDA licensure, influenza, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccines were not tested in or proven safe and effective for pregnant women in large clinical trials when given during every pregnancy either singly or simultaneously. 7   8

Categorized by FDA as Pregnancy Category B and C biologicals 9   because it is not known whether the vaccines are genotoxic and can cause fetal harm or can affect maternal fertility and reproduction, administering influenza and Tdap vaccines to pregnant women is an off-label use of these vaccines. 10   11   12   It is a policy that assumes maternal vaccination is necessary, safe and effective without proving it. 13…

Meet Kash#android#iPad#retweet

Kerri’s narrative (Kash’s mother):

On June 23rd, we took our son into the pediatrician’s office to receive his one-year vaccines. We were getting ready to go on vacation and we wanted to get it over with since they were already late. Just like most other parents, I dreaded these appointments. I couldn’t stand taking my sweet, smiling, cheerful child into the doctor to have him poked and prodded, but I didn’t know I had a choice. I ran a home-based child care facility and I thought immunizations had to be current for that, as well as future schooling, camps, etc. Kash is the youngest of 5 siblings, all of whom have been vaccinated, and we never had issues, so unfortunately, I didn’t put much thought into doing any of my own research.

Kash was immunized, I got him dressed, and we both left the doctors office in tears. The next morning I was cuddling with Kash when he first woke up, and he began to vomit. When he finished, I turned him over and tried to get him to communicate with me, or even respond, and I got nothing from him but a blank stare. His body was limp, he was staring off into space, and he wouldn’t even acknowledge his own name. Knowing something wasn’t right, we took him to the closest ER, which was about 5 minutes away. After evaluating him the attending physician told us that more than likely Kash had suffered a seizure due to “system overload” from his vaccines the day before. We were told to take him home, let him rest, keep an eye on him, but that everything SHOULD BE okay…

Vaccine Injury Compensation Program: Fatality after Gardasil#android#iPad#retweet

By Norma Erickson

SaneVax-FeaturedGardasil®-related fatal myocardial infarction in a teenage boy – case filed in United States Court of Federal Claims Office of Special Masters.

Gomez versus USDOH: Petition No. 15-0160V1 filed by the Roberts Law Firm of Newport Beach, California for petitioners Adan Gomez and Raquel Ayon, on behalf of their deceased son Joel Gomez, states:

Joel Gomez received a Merck Gardasil vaccine on June 19, 2013 and again on August 19, 2013, and died in his sleep the following day on August 20, 2013. The death was caused in fact by receiving the Gardasil Vaccine.

This statement is reinforced by a supportive Expert Report written by Sin Hang Lee, MD, stating:

Gardasil® did cause or contributed to a myocardial infarction in the decedent, and that the second dose of Gardasil®finally caused a fatal hypotension in this case on the day of vaccination. There was no other plausible cause for the death of Joel Gomez at the night of August 19, 2013.

The record shows that Joel Gomez, the decedent, a 14-year old healthy boy who had regular visits to the pediatrician’s office for periodic check-ups since birth showed no evidence of any pre-existing health issues, specifically no evidence of cardiac abnormalities, psychological disorders or substance abuse. The teenager had been training for the high school football team from four to five hours a day for the two months prior to his death without incident.

On June 19, 2013, the boy was given the first dose of Gardasil® in his left arm in the doctor’s office. No adverse reactions were reported following this first vaccination by the boy to either his family or his physician. On August 19, 2013 the boy was given a second injection of Gardasil® as scheduled in the doctor’s office. Then he went home and went to sleep. The boy was found to be unresponsive in bed the following morning on August 20, 2013 at 7:00 a.m. by his family.

Paramedics were called in and the boy was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at 9:07 a.m. on August 20, 2013.

An autopsy was performed on August 23, 2013 by a medical examiner (ME) of Los Angeles, California.

The autopsy report stated significant abnormal findings to include:

…a long narrow band of dark reddish discoloration which is somewhat darker than the rest of the myocardium, extends over a length of 6 cm and has a width of 0.4 cm extending from the anterior base of the heart almost to the apex. ..this lesion is limited to the anterior free wall. Both lungs are extremely heavy. The lung parenchyma is dark-purple-red and completely soaked with edema fluid and blood. Microscopically, a localized lesion was found in the left ventricle of the heart.

In the medical examiner’s opinion:

The Decedent died of myocarditis, which apparently was completely asymptomatic. By histology, the disease had been present for at least several days or weeks. The cause is unknown.

Dr. Lee reviewed the microscopic slides and concluded that the lesion of the heart was a healing myocardial infarct of a few weeks old after the first Gardasil® vaccination. In his opinion,

The HPV L1 gene DNA fragments bound to the aluminum adjuvant in Gardasil® can cause sudden and unexpected surge of tumor necrosis factor-α and other cytokines. Some of these cytokines released from macrophages are potent myocardial depressants, capable of causing hypotension with low cardiac perfusions in certain genetically or physically predisposed individuals.

Why is this case significant?

Myocardial Infarction

This was an obviously healthy, athletic young boy under the care of a pediatrician since birth. The myocardial infarction occurred between two injections of Gardasil as described in the medical examiner’s report. According to Dr. Lee, a healing infarct at the age of 14 is practically unheard of. In fact, Dr. Lee pointed out that the heart in this case presents a textbook description of myocardial infarction commonly observed in much older patients with a history of heart attack(s). The only factor in this boy’s life that changed was his Gardasil vaccinations.

According to the petition filed:

Petitioners contend that Joel suffered from Myocarditis which was caused in fact by the Gardasil vaccine. Petitioners contend that the logical sequence of cause and effect show that the vaccination was the reason for the death. Further supportive of the causal relationship is established by looking to the proximate temporal relationship between the vaccination and the death. The fact that Joel was a healthy 14 year old boy with no health problems is strong circumstantial evidence that the death was caused in fact by the Gardasil vaccine.

This means there is no way of knowing how many Gardasil-vaccinated girls (or boys) have developed permanent myocardial damage, whether one calls it myocarditis or infarct, either is a silent heart pathology. Is silent heart pathology no harm if the patient did not die?

In a telephone interview with Dr. Lee about the significance of this case for parents and medical professionals, Dr. Lee said:

Teenagers vaccinated with Gardasil® should stay away from competitive sports such as football for at least two months, and should have an electrocardiogram to rule out silent myocardial infarction if there is any incidence of syncope, chest discomfort, tachycardia or hypotension within two months after Gardasil® vaccination.

On my “Life with Autism” blog, it is my hope that the words you read are inspirational in some way. But on this blog — I wanted it to be different. I wanted the pictures to be more powerful than the words. Here will be some of our most powerful pictures in our “Life with Autism” – with only a few words to explain.

Doing away with vanity & dignity tonight.

I’m sure Brandon would forgive me if perhaps it would make one member of the mainstream media try and help him… I doubt they’ll ever see this, much like I doubt today’s seizures would be the last.  But, one can hope…. 

He’s had seizures yet again today…and finally at 8pm he tried to get up.  He’s been on the gymnastics mat on the floor of his bedroom right where he landed from the first seizure in falling out of bed this morning. Most parents have the luxury of waking up to the sound of an alarm.  I frequently wake up to the sound of choking, some body part banging against the wall, or a loud thud as he hits the floor.  I met him in the hallway and by the look in his eyes I knew we better go back in his room and not dare try and go downstairs.  It’s hard to describe seeing your child like that.  Hungry, or perhaps thirsty, wanting to just go downstairs to eat or drink, yet somehow not understanding why his body just isn’t willing to do what his mind wants.  So, back in his room, we sat on the bench at the foot of his bed and I gave him his beloved straws and we listened to music.  He dropped his straw and I watched as he tried to get it. His arm jerked this way and that.  Eyes focused on the straw, arm focused on anything but.  I was about to call down and ask Todd to bring something up for him to drink.  To try and get some few precious calories in.  But too late.  The arm started jerking again, his head slumped, and his entire body curled up in a ball and started to convulse right there on the bench in my arms.  All I could do was try and keep him steady…

UK AHVID responds to EMA conclusion that HPV vaccines do not cause POTS or CRPS#android#iPad#retweet

AHVID loco

By Steve Hinks email steve@hinksfamily.co.uk)

The European Medicines Agency has today released the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee’s conclusion of their review of HPV vaccines in relation to two serious neurological conditions, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Complex Region Pain Syndrome (CRPS).  The PRAC assessment concluded that the available evidence does not support that CRPS and POTS are caused by HPV vaccines.

The UK Association of HPV Vaccine Injured Daughters (AHVID) is extremely disappointed by the committee’s findings and concerned by the lack of transparency and opportunity to scrutinize the evidence considered by the PRAC before the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopts the committee’s findings.

Freda Birrell, Chair of AHVID said:

“Groups across Europe representing families of girls suffering new health conditions following HPV vaccination will naturally be very disappointed with this investigation and we are particularly concerned that the evidence considered by the PRAC will not be made available for scrutiny until after CHMP has reviewed the PRAC Assessment and adopted the decision. We have even been denied a request to know which experts submitted evidence. This shroud of secrecy is very concerning – something is leaving these girls seriously ill! We are however, very encouraged by the recent award of research funding from the Danish health authorities to a Danish team of doctors, to research adverse reactions to the HPV vaccination, and we await the results of that research with anticipation, particularly in light of recent reports from Denmark estimating 1 in 400 girls are suffering serious adverse reactions to the HPV vaccination.”

AHVID recently conducted a survey of members for information to submit to the EMA review.  The findings from nearly 100 members highlighted massive under-reporting of adverse reactions by health professionals, a failure of health professionals to recognize and acknowledge adverse reactions and the difficulties experienced getting a POTS diagnosis, with most girls waiting for more than two years.  Shockingly, the survey also found over 90% of respondents were initially told by their doctors that their symptoms were psychological.

The PRAC appear to have based their decision on their statement that the available estimates suggest natural rates of both POTS and CRPS to be around 150 girls per million in the age range of 10 to 19.  AHVID are unable to comment on this statement because the request for copies of evidence and reports considered by the Committee have been refused until the Review is finalized, but the group remain convinced the HPV vaccination is resulting in girls developing serious autoimmune and neurological conditions, including POTS and CRPS.

The PRAC makes reference to an overlap of CRPS and POTS symptoms with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and the ‘large published study that showed no link between HPV vaccine and CFS’, which the Committee considered particularly relevant. The study ‘Bivalent HPV vaccine and the risk of fatigue syndromes in girls in the UK’ was undertaken and authored by MHRA scientists, it was looking only at the Cervarix vaccine, used data from the CRPD database which is collected for clinical management, not research, was open to confounding and selection bias and was at the mercy of the accuracy of GPs inputting accurate diagnostic codes. The study would also have been unlikely to have picked out cases of POTS or CRPS and would certainly have missed the many girls with POTS who were initially misdiagnosed with anxiety or psychological conditions.

AHVID will continue to support families with girls suffering new health conditions following HPV vaccination and will continue to fight for better treatment for the affected girls, more transparency and full information about the risks of this vaccination to be made available to parents prior to consent. Their aim is also to ensure the MHRA are held to account and made to follow up all reports of serious adverse reactions, which currently does not happen.

Notes:

  1. AHVID recently conducted a member questionnaire and, so far, has received almost 100 responses. Information for the first 94 responses had been already shared with the EMA. Many of the questionnaire responses leave no doubt whatsoever in our opinion that these vaccines have at least contributed to the girls’ side effects.

AHVID has found that in the first 94 questionnaire submissions:

  • Yellow Cards have only been submitted by 13 doctors whilst the girls had been seen by a total of approximately 858 doctors. There were also 7 doctors who refused to raise Yellow Cards.
  • 15 of these had reactions after the 1st and/or 2nd dose. They continued to have the 2nd and 3rd doses because the serious side effects were not perceived to be adverse reactions to the vaccine.  They had all been told that the vaccine is safe and side-effects are only mild and short term.
  • 27 girls had reactions on the same day as the vaccine, some of them within minutes. A further 22 had reactions within 7 days of vaccination and a further 16 within 30 days. This cannot be a coincidence.
  • 66 girls with previously regular periods developed severe problems, many of them serious. 20 girls with irregular periods developed new problems, many of them serious. At least 4 girls have been diagnosed with polycystic ovaries.
  • 53 girls were found to have vitamin and mineral deficiencies with 33 of these being for vitamin D.
  • 24 have confirmed POTS diagnosis, some took 6 and a half years from vaccination to be diagnosed
  • 37 have not been diagnosed with POTS but have an average of 16 typical POTS symptoms. Some had 33 typical POTS symptoms. 19 were refused POTS assessments.
  • 8 have confirmed diagnosis of CRPS.
  • 76 have not been diagnosed with CRPS but have an average of 5 typical CRPS symptoms. 14 were refused CRPS assessments.
  1. Danish reports highlighting estimates of 1 in 400 girls suffering serious adverse reactions:

“Universal” Failure: Public Health’s Answer to Prevention#android#iPad#retweet

By Natalie Moore

  • What is herd immunity doing (or not doing) for you?
  • What are Americans doing almost as much as paying taxes?
  • Fever, aches, paralysis – Oh, my!

Dear reader,

Picture it.

Every staff member in the emergency room is covered head to toe in masks, gowns and gloves.

Patients spread about the ER bays — the worst cases rushed to isolation rooms.

Families, particularly those with children, told to leave for their own protection.

Medications and vaccines stockpiled in nurses stations so quickly pharmacy can’t fill the orders.

Instantly, emails fly out to all of the floors.

Administrators, VPs, infection control specialists, and department managers frantically making emergency census plans, hiring more part-time staff.

Frantically adding employees to on-call lists — preparing for the certain onslaught of sick patients and inevitable nursing staff absences.

What kind of outbreak could cause such madness?

Ebola?

Measles?

The plague?!

Nope.

As a mental health triage screener, this is the scene I observed each year since the first case of influenza rolled into the ER.

Managers instructed (bullied)…

Shaken Baby Syndrome or Death by Vaccine? Doctor Speaks Out…#android#iPad#retweet

jlvranes Leave a comment

by Christina England and Michael Innis, MD

More and more innocent men and women are being falsely accused of committing shaken baby syndrome and later jailed for murder after a vaccine injury has occurred.

Unfortunately, an alarming number of medical and law enforcement professionals are quick to accuse caregivers of shaking their infants so hard that they have caused them to suffer from shaken baby syndrome (SBS), defined by a triad of serious brain injuries that can also be attributed to vaccine adverse reactions.

Medical professionals are quick to dismiss adverse reactions to recently administered vaccinations, or never consider them to begin with, while parents and caregivers are automatically assumed to be guilty of horrendous abuse, including the murder of young children. However, if these children have been shaken so violently that it has caused them to suffer extensive brain injuries, then why have so many suffered no external injuries as a result of their assault?

We need to ask ourselves whether just shaking alone can cause these injuries or if there are alternative explanations as to why these injuries occur.

Darryl Elliott is one of many caregivers serving a life sentence for a crime that he did not commit…
