I write our daughter’s story to give you an idea of the permanent impact Gardasil injuries can have on a young girl’s life. My daughter has battled her injuries for over 5.5 years. Thank you for taking the time to read her story.

Before our girl got sick she was a high achieving student, an active member of the Student Leadership Council, a Scouts girl and a fantastic field hockey player. She got sick after receiving 2 Gardasil vaccinations in the beginning of 2009.

She has a Vaccine Injury and has officially been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME, Hypotension (low blood pressure) and Tachycardia (high heart rate when standing up, to pump blood to brain), also called POTS.

At the moment, she still suffers from (extreme) fatigue on a daily basis, headaches (especially end of the day), her hands are sore with nerve pain and she lives with daily joint and muscle pain. Her ears pop every time she swallows and she has trouble hearing. She has difficulty concentrating when there is noise around her. Her feet are always cold but she doesn’t feel it. And that isn’t all of it…

Her days vary; one good day doesn’t mean the next will be ok. One good week doesn’t mean the next week might be better. Sometimes her symptoms come on quickly. A severe headache can appear in a couple of minutes.

In the last 5.5 years our daughter also had to deal with fatigue that made her a couple of times lay in bed fulltime for (6) months in a row, a constant (excruciating) headache that lasted 2.5 years (!), sore throats, swollen glands, chest pains, dizziness with black outs, weakness in her legs making it unable to walk without assistance, abdominal pain, muscle pain, brain fog, trouble concentrating and short term memory and gastro-intestinal problems. She picked up every bug that was around and had high temperatures about every 4-5 weeks.

After 2.5 years of being sick (and no doctor or specialist knowing what to do to help her) our daughter deteriorated so much that we almost lost her (mid 2011), she was too weak to talk, or even eat and drink. Her body was so toxic that her organs were shutting down. For months we were afraid to go into her room in the morning….

Neuro training, brain training, osteopathy, detoxing, a strict diet, supplements and more alternative treatments all helped to improve her health.

We have seen great results; she has had a couple of fantastic months…. until a relapse happens. We have also seen her deteriorate very quickly to being fulltime in bed again around September/October in the last three years. Each time this happens it is hard to get healthier again.

Because of being sick our girl missed about 3 years of her schooling. She wants to be at school but her body doesn’t always let her, which is very disappointing every time it happens. There are many times she needs to spend all her energy on catching up with school work. Through all of this she still wants to finish high school with year 12 and study at a University (she is interested in Political Science).

Next to missing out at school she struggles with her social life. She is lucky to have a couple of friends that have stood by her from the time she got sick, but a lot of people don’t understand. She always worries if people will understand her limits, when she isn’t able to stay in touch because she is just too exhausted or when she needs to cancel last minute. She is now 18 and still can’t do sport or a hobby next to (part time) school. She is not able to get a regular job to make some money like most of her peers.

Besides the physical illness, the stress of not knowing if she would ever get better, of not having a “normal” life, of disappointment after disappointment, of people not believing you, has been enormous, not only for her, but also for her younger sister, my husband and I. Gardasil changed our lives completely, we have learned to appreciate the little things in life.

We are very proud of our daughter and admire her way of handling all the challenges in her life. She has become mature very quickly in certain ways, but she has missed out on lots of experiences as well. We still fight hard to make her health improve more, we hope she will stay good for longer than a couple of months and keep our fingers crossed she will be able to accomplish everything she is dreaming of…

Through sharing our daughter’s story I hope that people research before they say yes to the unnecessary Gardasil vaccine. We trusted the system and thought we did the right thing, but the system has failed us.

Nobody wants to take the responsibility when this happens to your child. This “one solution fits all” system needs to change.

Please go to www.sanevax.org, or the Facebook groups set up for families injured by HPV vaccines. Do some research before you decide if Gardasil is a good choice.

Annette, I feel at a loss for words after reading the enduring trial you, your daughter, and family are living. I ache for the lack of attention, and support for your family.

It’s ludicrous to have millions poured into marketing these girls, on their favorite channels, at school, and so forth, and then silence when they are injured by the Gardasil/Cervarix vaccines. It’s a tragedy, and I hope, and pray that your silence is lifted, and you are received by loving arms of those who know what to do in these circumstances.

You have proven strong, and dedicated, and I Know that many will receive guidance, and warning through your words.

I am grateful that you have found the kind, and educated folks at SaneVax Inc. They will have good advice, and I as well have a link to doctors that are experienced in this area. Distance in most cases is not an issue. Here is the link to my, Featured Doctors.

I know as you trust in your Father in Heaven, he will continue to guide, and bless you.

I have little to give, but here is a musical gift that I hope you enjoy, and find some respite at this time. Your friend in truth, jen.

Gardasil Changed Our Definition of Normal#HPV#Android#Vaccines

November 24, 2014November 22, 2014 jlvranes Leave a comment

By Francine Pugliese, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Nina is the youngest of my three children. I had no idea a trip to the pediatrician’s office for a checkup and one simple injection could change our lives so drastically. For the last seven years, our daughter has fought to regain some semblance of her normal life.

Spending long hours at the gym watching her play basketball and dreaming of sports scholarships have all been traded in for one simple wish, a pain free day for Nina. I continued to pray that, despite her daily illness, her childhood friends would still find Nina to be that funny, animated girl that could make anyone laugh.

Our story began in late May of 2007. I took Nina to the pediatrician for her 12-year-old checkup. During the visit the doctor recommended that I have her receive the first dose of Gardasil. I immediately told him that I was not well informed about this new vaccine. He reassured me that it was fine and better to get it while she was young. I trusted my doctor.

As we left the office, a strange feeling come over me. I started to question my decision to allow the doctor to administer a vaccine that was new to the industry. My daughter was 12 years old. What was the rush to protect her against a sexually transmitted disease? Maybe it was mother’s intuition, but I suddenly felt sick to my stomach.

Early Signs of Illness Post Gardasil

Less than a month later, early in July, Nina started complaining of her hair falling out. As a mother of three, I often play down any medical concerns my children have until I see a true problem. Nina is a beautiful Italian with long thick brown hair. I put her to ease by telling her that with her amount of hair it is common to see more of it in the shower or on the bathroom floor.

Over the next few weeks Nina started to complain of flu like symptoms. She would wake up very fatigued and nauseous. The symptoms were intermittent, but becoming more regular as the weeks passed.

I did start to notice an abundance of her hair on the bathroom floor. I was becoming concerned.

By August, her complaints were more severe, so I took her to the local Med Express. They told me she was very dehydrated and administered IV fluids. Nina felt great afterwards. I was relieved.

Unfortunately, the next morning the symptoms returned with a vengeance. She missed the first week of the new school year.

The following week I started driving her to school because she was too sick to get on the bus. The school was only five minutes away but by the time we got there she was already too sick to get out of the car.

At first I thought maybe she was having some type of anxiety about starting seventh grade, but that did not make sense to me. Nina had always been a very active child who was constantly laughing and playing with friends. Her relentless love of basketball kept her on the go most of the time. She played on three different teams. School had never been a problem for Nina.

A Mother’s Intuition

She tried to muddle her way through the first semester of school, but was losing the battle. She was becoming ill at all times of the day. She would sleep on the bathroom floor hoping not to vomit one more time.

I made repeated visits to the pediatrician’s office pleading with them to help our child. Questions were running through my head constantly. Why did she become so ill so suddenly? What could have possibly happened? What had she been exposed to that could have caused her mysterious symptoms?

Then I remembered my mother’s intuition moment and realized our world began to change after the Gardasil vaccine.

Her pediatrician was in agreement, we would not proceed with the second dose of the vaccine due to Nina’s illness.

Searching for Help

The next year was filled with illness, doctor’s appointments, diagnostic tests, multiple medications, multiple diagnoses, and many, many disappointments. We were told she was suffering from, Vestibular hypo function, Meniere’s disease, tonsillitis, and last but not least, a mental illness.

My husband and I were baffled. No matter what medicine the doctors prescribed for our daughter, her illness continued to invade her body turning our world upside down.

We finally caved in and took her to see a psychologist. The psychologist commended Nina for dealing with this confusing illness in such an adult manner. She reassured us that Nina seemed well adjusted and saw no reason for any type of treatment.

How could our healthy child who played basketball 24/7 and aspired to play basketball in college dwindle down to a chronically sick child who was now on homebound study without a social life? Most of her friends had drifted away. Her illness seemed invisible to them. There were no visible signs, such as bruises, broken bones, or blood spouting from an artery.

After nearly two years, we decided the traditional medical community was not helping. Perhaps a naturopathic route could. We were told it was coming form an adrenal problem and were given vitamins, detoxifying footbaths, and massage therapy know as Reiki. All were complementary, but did not give her any long-term relief.

Time marched on. In April of 2009, we stumbled across the television show Mystery Diagnosis. This particular episode described Nina’s symptoms in remarkable detail. It was the first time I had ever heard the word Dysautonomia.

I immediately went to the internet to research this illness and people who could diagnose and treat it just in case that was what my daughter suffered from.

I found no specialists in the Pittsburgh area, so called every specialist within the United States. I then faxed all of Nina’s medical information to their offices. We took the first available appointment from the first specialist to return our call.

Finally a Diagnosis: Dysautonomia

Dr. Hassan Abdallah at The Children’s Heart Institute in Reston, Virginia finally diagnosed Nina with Dysautonomia. As sad as it may sound, we were delighted to finally have a name for her illness. The pieces of the puzzle were starting to come together.

Dr. Abdallah started her on blood pressure medication, followed by a vasoconstrictor medicine, followed by a medicine used for people with Attention Deficit Disorder. These medicines all help push more blood to the heart and brain, thus making her illness less violent.

Typically, people with Dysautonomia do not perform well in the morning. It takes hours for their bodies to function and begin their day. Even though we had a diagnosis for Nina, we still could not get her back to functioning like a teenager.

We continued our battle by getting a second and third opinion from the Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Medical Center. It was at Case Western that a doctor finally admitted that they had seen an increase in Dysautonomia since the Gardasil vaccine was introduced.

In addition to her prescribed medications, Nina takes melatonin to sleep at night. She constantly has issues with low Vitamin D, which requires a prescription dose of the vitamin periodically. She takes an anti-nausea medicine as needed. She has recently been diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), insulin resistance, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). She also takes multiple vitamins and natural supplements daily to promote a homeostasis in her body. Her medication routine starts at 7am, continues every three hours, for a total of four prescription medications (14 pills daily), and seven natural supplements (11 pills daily)…

She combats all this by pushing herself to exercise with a trainer who specializes in strength and heart rate monitoring.

Last December, Nina had a procedure performed by Dr. Michael Arata called Transvascular Autonomic Modulation. It is much like angioplasty, but investigates the veins instead of arteries.

It is believed that by looking for venous compression and inflating a balloon at the superior portion of the jugular vein, one will reset the autonomic nervous system. It has proven successful, but turning back the clock of a chronic illness takes time and a lot of life style changes. Nina is still a work in progress.

Seven Years of Post Gardasil Nightmare

Nina was on the homebound program for high school. She never got to play on her high school basketball team. She never got to attend any proms.

Regardless of the adversity she faces, she managed to graduate with a 4.0 GPA and now attends the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg as a full time student.

She struggles through each and every day with the perseverance of a soldier. Her strength, integrity, and relentless desire to live her dreams inspire everyone who has the pleasure of knowing her.

The light at the end of the tunnel is that most people with Dysautonomia will out-grow it. The doctors agree that Nina’s case is severe and it may be much longer before she gets relief from most symptoms.

Questions I have about Gardasil

I have researched Gardasil for a long time and still have these questions:

Why was Gardasil developed when 90% of all HPV infections clear on their own, without symptoms?
Why would the FDA place a vaccine on their fast track program (which means it only requires six months of research) if this vaccine was being administered to little girls?
Why was fast-track approval granted when an already safe and proven effective means of controlling cervical cancer is available in the United States?
Why do government health officials constantly ignore the facts posted on websites such as SaneVax Inc.?
Do medical professionals truly believe all of the girls with new medical conditions after Gardasil are just complainers and really don’t want to have a normal life?

Lessons We Learned From Gardasil

Gardasil taught our family some valuable lessons.

First, never think your doctor knows everything. They are human. They work for you. If you have questions, never stop asking until you are satisfied. Always trust your gut feelings or mother’s intuition.

Never judge a person with an invisible illness. Everybody carries some type of a burden in his or her life.

We are better people because of this illness. We no longer take life for granted. Lastly and most important, we trust God has a plan and we will continue the battle until his will be done.

Francine, and Nina, I am so impressed with the fortitude, and faith you both carry. Thank you, thank you for sharing your light, and story, This will undoubtedly help many other girls, and their families.

I am so glad that you have found SaneVax as well. They have a wealth of information, including health practitioners with experience treating the effects of Gardasil/Cervarix.

Here is a little musical gift. I hope you enjoy, and all the best! jen

Gardasil and Vitamin Deficiency?#Vaccines#Health#Adverse reactions to vaccines

Gardasil and Vitamin Deficiency?

April 22, 201

By Derrick Lonsdale, MD

Dr. Lonsdale: Gardasil and Vitamin Deficiency?

In July 2013, I received an e-mail from the mother of an adolescent girl who had received Gardasil vaccination some four years previously. Her many symptoms that had mystified her doctors were eventually diagnosed as Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), published recently as a complication after the administration of this vaccination^[1]. The mother had conducted her own research and had come to the unlikely conclusion that her daughter suffered from beriberi.

A better name for this condition would be thiamin deficiency disease since the name beriberi was originally derived from its common occurrence in eastern countries where rice has been the staple diet for centuries. Outbreaks of the disease were often associated with increased affluence when the peasants could afford to have the rice milled to remove the husks, yielding white rice that looked better when it was served. The vitamins are in the husks, so this is a historical example of high calorie carbohydrate malnutrition, sometimes known as empty calories.

The question that this mother asked me was, “Does this make any sense and if so can it be proved?”

The idea of a vaccination actually causing a vitamin deficiency disease like this appears, at first sight, to be completely absurd. I reported to her that there was a very accurate blood test available to prove thiamin deficiency and this requires some explanation.

Erythrocyte (red blood cell) transketolase

All of our body and brain cells are chemical micro-factories. Each cell must create energy in order to perform its specialized function. This energy is provided by “engines” (mitochondria) within each cell.

Using this energy to build complex molecules in the body (e.g. a hormone) is performed in a series of “steps” (chemical reactions), each of which requires an enzyme. The enzymes, complex proteins, act as catalysts that enable a series of chemical reactions to take place as simpler chemical compounds are gradually made more and more complex.

Each enzyme, however, cannot work efficiently without one or more cofactors, naturally occurring vitamins, most of which, like thiamin, have to be obtained from diet.

Red blood cells, aside from their ability to transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, have another vital function involving a series of chemical changes, in which the enzyme transketolase is required. Cofactors for this enzyme are thiamin (vitamin B1) and magnesium. Without them, the enzyme is partially crippled.

By taking a blood sample and measuring the speed at which the chemical product of the transketolase enzyme is synthesized, we can ascertain its baseline efficiency. If, by adding thiamin, this activity accelerates, we know that that is what the enzyme required in order to reach its maximum efficiency. The acceleration can be measured as the percentage increase over the speed of the first reaction before thiamin is added.

Although the so-called gold standard advised by the Mayo Clinic for ascertaining deficiency of thiamin is by measuring its level in the blood, this level may be completely normal in the presence of deficiency. This is because thiamin is required inside the cell in order to maintain its vital functions.

Measuring the concentration of thiamin in blood when it is outside the cells that require it bears no relationship with its presence or biologic function inside the cell. The same thing applies to measurement of magnesium deficiency.

The enzyme transketolase is also present in brain where it has a vital function. Reduction of its activity from deficiency of thiamin or magnesium causes brain dysfunction, particularly in the lower part of the brain, the limbic system and brainstem that are known to be highly sensitive to these deficiencies.

Because thiamin is so vital to the enzymes involved in energy metabolism involving consumption of oxygen in the brain, thiamin and mild to moderate oxygen deficiency both produce exactly the same changes as recognized by a pathologist using a microscope.

POTS, beriberi and dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system

The courageous mother of this young lady followed through with the transketolase test. It was strongly positive for thiamine deficiency, providing scientific proof that her hunch was right.

Two other girls and a boy, all of whom were known to this mother and who were suffering from post-Gardasil POTS, also had the transketolase test done. All showed thiamin deficiency.

Another girl, also known to the mother, had P OTS. Although she had not received the vaccine, her transketolase test showed thiamin deficiency.

Let me explain this source of confusion. We have two nervous systems. One is called the voluntary system by which we can act according to will and controlled by the thinking brain. The other one is called the autonomic nervous system (ANS), controlled by the limbic system and brainstem, the evolutionally more primitive part of the brain. This computes a given mental or physical environmental situation (stress) by means of our senses and enables us to adapt automatically to what might be called the “stress factors” that we meet on a daily basis. For example, we sweat when it is hot and shiver when it is cold, both activated as an adaptive response to the “stress” of environmental temperature.

When the function of the autonomic nervous system becomes abnormal it is known as dysautonomia (dys, meaning abnormal; autonomia referring to the ANS). Because this part of the brain is automatic and acting on a 24 hour basis, its energy requirement is very great and it is highly sensitive to loss of efficiency in oxidative metabolism.

Thiamin plays a part in other enzymes besides transketolase and they all have a role in the fundamental basis of energy metabolism. The union of oxygen with glucose (cellular fuel) is catalyzed by thiamin in oxidation (burning) to provide energy used for function. It is therefore not surprising that thiamin deficiency severely affects the limbic system and brainstem.

Beriberi in its early stages is exactly like POTS arising from other causes, both being forms of dysautonomia. By depicting thiamin deficiency, one specific cause of POTS is isolated.

The potential role of stress

It took many years to discover that thiamin deficiency was the cause of beriberi and we can use the history of this discovery to illustrate what might be termed the stress factor.

In the 19^th century, factories were built in blocks, separated by corridors. In the summer months workers would take their lunch in the corridors. Initially they would be in the shade but when they were exposed to the sun as it began to shine into the corridor, some of the workers would get their first symptoms of beriberi. It was because of the symptoms being initiated in a group of people at the same time that led to the long held and inaccurate conclusion that it was an infectious disease.

We now know that the ultraviolet component of sunlight imposes a significant stress on the human body and is the reason that we tan to provide a natural form of protection. Any form of stress imposes a biological burden, requiring energy to meet the adaptive response. There are in fact several, genetically determined diseases of metabolism that are intermittent in nature.

The affected person may be relatively normal until a stress factor such as a mild infection, an injury or even an inoculation is imposed. The clinical expression of the disease then becomes manifest.

The stress factor, completely innocuous to a healthy energy metabolism, can initiate symptoms in a person where that energy metabolism is at risk. The workers that succumbed to their first symptoms of beriberi under these conditions had a degree of thiamin deficiency that was as yet without symptoms or they were trivial, perhaps ascribed to other causes.

Conclusion and hypothesis

Three girls and one boy, all who have suffered the long-term effects of post-Gardasil P OTS, have been shown to be thiamin deficient by means of a transketolase study.

Without going into details, the family history of the boy suggests that genetics may play a part. Another girl with P OTS had the same test and was thiamin deficient, but had not received the Gardasil vaccine.

All four of the vaccinated individuals were considered to be unusually bright students, athletes, or both, before they received the vaccine.

Thiamine deficiency results in an energy deficit and has been shown to damage mitochondria. The brain has a high oxygen demand and it would be expected that its use would be proportional to the degree of intelligence. Hence the intelligent student might be expected to be more at risk from high calorie marginal malnutrition.

I suggest that HPV vaccination acts as a non-specific stress factor, in a marginal state of energy metabolism, although there is another peculiar caveat to the Gardasil vaccine. It is a yeast based vaccine in its synthesis. The type of yeast used contains thiaminase II (another enzyme exists called thiaminase I), an enzyme that breaks the thiamin molecule down, making it biologically inert.

Thiaminase disease has been described in Japan in conjunction with dietary thiamin deficiency. The ingestion of sugar in its many different forms in the modern world, particularly in children and adolescents, overloads the capacity of thiamin to process it. This results in a calorie to vitamin ratio that is abnormal and could be referred to as relative vitamin deficiency.

The HPV vaccination “stress factor” might be the “last straw” in those with a genetically, or dietary determined risk.
