How did the idea that a mercury-based preservative (thimerosal) causes autism come to be?

This timeline is the historical account of an unbelievable, but true, story.

It’s the story of parents who knew something was wrong and never gave up. The story of brave scientists who told the scientific truth. And a story of unsung heroes – the child victims whose lives were devastated and forever changed by vaccines.

To the heroes who have sacrificed so much: this timeline is to honor you with the hope that our nation will have a true understanding of your suffering.

Genetically Engineered HIV Vaccine INCREASED Risk of HIV Infection#Vaccines#HIV#Health

A new study published in Lancet reveals that an experimental vaccine manufactured by Merck using a genetically modified adenovirus actually increased the risk of contracting HIV infection in recipients.

Titled, “Recombinant adenovirus type 5 HIV gag/pol/nef vaccine in South Africa: unblinded, long-term follow-up of the phase 2b HVTN 503/Phambili study,” researchers randomly assigned a total of 801 HIV-1 uninfected, sexually active adults aged 18—35 years from five sites in South Africa to receive either the vaccine (400) or a placebo (401).  216 (27%) received only one injection, 529 (66%) received only two injections, and 56 (7%) received three injections.

The results were reported as follows:

At a median follow-up of 42 months (IQR 31—42), 63 vaccine recipients (16%) had HIV-1 infection compared with 37 placebo recipients (9%; adjusted HR 1·70, 95% CI 1·13—2·55; p=0·01). Risk for HIV-1 infection did not differ according to the number of vaccinations received, sex, circumcision, or adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) serostatus.

Differences in risk behaviour at baseline or during the study, or annualised dropout rate (7·7% [95% CI 6·2—9·5] for vaccine recipients vs 8·8% [7·1—10·7] for placebo recipients; p=0·40) are unlikely explanations for the increased rate of HIV-1 infections seen in vaccine recipients.

In other words, those receiving vaccines had a 70% increased risk [HR 1·70] of contracting HIV versus those receiving the placebo.  The researchers concluded:

The increased risk of HIV-1 acquisition in vaccine recipients, irrespective of number of doses received, warrants further investigation to understand the biological mechanism. We caution against further use of the Ad5 vector for HIV vaccines.

Why The Press Shouldn’t Dismiss Vaccine Skeptics#Health#Vaccines#HPV

jlvranes Leave a comment

Written By: Lawrence Solomon

Those who question vaccination programs are kooks or quacks, the press repeatedly tells us. The Globe and Mail, CBS News, Mother Jones and even scientific journals like Nature label skeptics as “vaccination deniers,” much as global warming skeptics are called “deniers.”

Slate magazine, citing the medical journal Vaccine, deplores “the global anti-vaccination movement [as] a loose coalition of rogue scientists, journalists, parents, and celebrities, who think that vaccines cause disorders like autism – a claim that has been thoroughly discredited by modern science.” Commentary, a serious publication that covers politics, refers to skeptics as “vaccination truthers.”

This wholesale demeaning of vaccine skeptics defies explanation. Granted, kooks and quacks exist in the vaccination field, just as they exist elsewhere. But why taint the skeptics as a whole, and fail to respectfully report dissenting views? No journalist would have had any difficulty finding dozens of distinguished skeptical scientists for the very few “rogue” scientists that the press has vilified.

How hard, for example, should it have been for the press to notice the views of Dr. Bernadine Healy, the former head of the National Institute of Health, the former head of the American Red Cross, and the former Chair of the White House Cabinet Group on Biotechnology, one of several White House positions she held in service to three U.S. presidents.

Dr. Healy criticized the public health establishment for being “too quick to dismiss [vaccine concerns] as irrational…The more you delve into it, if you look at the basic science, if you look at the research that’s been done in animals, if you also look at some of these individual cases, and if you look at the evidence… what you come away with is that the question [of vaccine safety] has not been answered.”

Dr. Healy’s views would have been particularly easy to find because they were actually aired by one of America’s leading journalists, Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News, in one of the rare instances in which the mainstream press fairly presented a skeptic’s perspective on the vaccine issue.

Journalists should also have had no trouble finding Dr. Diane Harper, a lead developer of the controversial Gardasil vaccine and another interviewee of Attkisson’s. Dr. Harper believes this vaccine, which is being recommended for teens and pre-teens to combat cervical cancer, is less effective than the common Pap smear, and that it may harm more children than it helps. “Parents and women must know that deaths occurred,” she stated in arguing that parents need to know that they could be subjecting their children to needless risks.

Premier Wellness Infrared#Health#Vaccines#Detox

Premier Wellness Infrared Sauna                                  

Premier Wellness of Utah offers infrared sauna treatment as an effective tool for natural healing and prevention.

Detoxification and Your Skin

Your skin is the largest organ of your body. The subcutaneous fatty layer is located just below the skin. An infrared sauna emits rays that penetrate into the tissues to a depth of 1.5 inches and has the ability to produce a host of anti-aging health benefits. The increased depth of penetration provides pain-relief, detoxification and increased circulation.

Heat stimulates our fat cells to release the accumulated debris that they have been holding on to.The infrared sauna also stimulates the sebaceous glands to release harmful toxins such as petrochemicals, mercury and other heavy metals.

This is a great way to get to the core of many different health challenges and illuminate them from the body in an easy, relaxing way.

Since humans are bio-accumulators, toxins that cannot be expelled immediately after entry are stored in our bodies. One of the reasons infrared saunas are so beneficial with a variety of different illnesses is the ability of the FAR waves to accelerate the removal of toxins such as sulphur, formaldehyde, heavy metals and more.

Weight Loss From Perspiration

Weight loss from perspiration is quickly regained. It is possible to burn upwards to 700 calories in a single session in an infrared sauna. Bt increasing the core body temperature, you increase the blood circulation creating a hyperthermic state. This open your capillaries, converts fat and increases heart rate. Some infrared sauna proponents claim that a 30 minute sauna session is equivalent to jogging or rowing for thirty minutes.

The removal of heavy metals that were contributing to metabolic and hormonal imbalance and weight gain can also improve the basal metabolic rate and normalize body weight. The decrease of toxins stored in the subcutaneous fat goes a long way towards increasing a feeling of lightness in the body and willingness to exercise. Also increasing circulation and oxygenation to the glands improves their health and their ability to keep the body balanced.

Sports Recovery:

Replenish the sore, damaged or tired muscles of an athlete with an infrared sauna treatment. The heat penetrates the muscles, increasing blood circulation and assisting muscle repair. Infrared heat will also help in the reduction of lactic acids, allowing tight and worn-out muscles to relax. The penetrating heat of the infrared sauna can also help ease the pain of a muscle sprain (after administration of cold and compression).

Just as infrared saunas help chronic pain sufferers (such as those with Lyme disease and fibromyalgia), they can also help ease joint pain in athletes. The relaxation of the muscles controlling the joints and the increased circulation to the joints enhances healing and recovery.

Psoriasis and other skin conditions:

According to many forms of holistic medicine, psoriasis and many other skin disorders actually originate in the liver. When certain toxins are ingested, the liver does not have the ability to break down, metabolize and excrete the toxins. The toxins are sent to the skin for elimination via sweat. When the toxins hit the cells just below the skin, the body overproduces skin cells by a factor of 10,000.

The toxins come out on the dead skin cells. By sweating regularly and profusely, the toxins are eliminated via the sweat and sebaceous glands as opposed to through the shedding of skin. The dramatic increase in circulation to the skin that comes with infrared sauna use is also a major factor in toning, tightening and rejuvenating the skin.

Heart Disease:

A Study done at the Mayo Clinic performed on 37 congestive heart failure patients. All 37 displayed improvement and some even got off their medications after 6 weeks of low heat infrared sauna therapy.

Arthritis:

The heat generated from the infrared waves, penetrate deeply into the joints and muscles to break up lactic acid deposits and to increase circulation to the joint capsules which accelerates soft tissue repair and increases the suppleness, flexibility and pliability of the connective tissue.

Asthma:

Infrared sauna therapy studies demonstrated that industrial chemical exposure was alleviated in about 4 weeks. Some regular infrared sauna aficionados claim that inhaler use dropped from 3x / week to 3x / year.

Fibromyalgia (chronic pain disorder):

Many holistic doctors and more and more traditional medical doctors are beginning to believe that these types of patients have a very large toxic burden. It is also the case that for many of them, the liver (the major detoxification organ) and the kidneys (the major organ of filtration and excretion) are not functioning optimally. Oftentimes when toxic load begins to lighten up, many symptoms begin to decrease. The infrared sauna is invaluable for accelerating heavy metal and petrochemical excretion.

Aging:

Common problems associated with lifestyle and aging, such as hypertension and osteoporosis, headaches and digestive problems, are attributed by some scientists to be the result of excess acidity in our system. The American Medical Journal found that in patients with bone loss, alkalizing their system caused a decrease in bone loss. Their conclusion was that our typical American diet is acid producing. The acids deposited in our blood are often stored by the body in forms of cholesterol, fatty acid, uric acid, and other villains that cause havoc in our system. Sang Whang, the author of “Reverse Aging” claims that these excess acids can be eliminated with the use of far infrared products, along with consuming certain alkaline minerals and foods. The far infrared resonance heats up the internal temperature of the body, increasing circulation, thus enabling the blood to melt out the acidic toxins that have been deposited for years in one’s arteries.

FIR and Healthy Arteries:

When the normally smooth, firm lining of the arteries becomes thickened and roughened by deposits of fat, fibrin, calcium and cellular debris, it lessens the arteries ability to expand and contract, and slows the blood movement through narrowed channels. These conditions make it easier for blood clots to form, blocking the arteries and stopping blood flow completely. FIR is able to neutralize blood toxicity and smooth the walls of arteries, capillaries and veins.

Tall Tales#Vaccines#Flu#Health

by Jenny Thompson

Dear Reader,                                         

You can file this one under “Tall Tales.” Or maybe “Big Pharma Fantasy.”

Researchers claim they’ve discovered an unexpected, lifesaving benefit from the flu shot.

This new research is just as flimsy as the old stuff. But this time it’s a little different. That’s because it’s the second go-around. What they’re doing now is trying to spin this yarn into a truth.

——————————————————————————–
Dumb and dumber
——————————————————————————–

Two cockamamie studies. That’s what they’re building this insane recommendation on.

According to a team of rent-a-researchers, the flu shot reduces risk of a heart attack by 19 percent.

That’s what they told us in 2010. But anyone with first-grade math skills saw right through the scam.

It turned out that there were 19 percent fewer heart attack patients vaccinated in the previous year. That was the invented “risk reduction” So no — the flu shot did not prevent heart attacks. End of story.

Well…end of story for THAT study. Now we have a new one. Same junk science. Different methodology.

In about 560 people, half had heart attacks and half did not. It turned out that rates of flu shots happened to be lower in the heart attack group. And then the researchers take a mighty leap into pure fantasy… The flu shot prevents heart attacks.

Keep in mind, many of these people had serious heart problems. You can bet their immune systems were pushed to the limit. And of course, those who do get a shot are more likely to take care of themselves to stay healthy.

Here’s the kicker: The study was bankrolled by GlaxoSmithKline. And just five days before the study was published, the FDA approved GSK’s new flu shot. My! Isn’t THAT convenient timing!

So now we have two of these lousy studies being reported on.

But the quality of the studies doesn’t matter. The headlines are out there… “Flu shot stops heart attacks.”

Little by little, that’s how the myth will become conventional wisdom. And eventually, you’ll hear people say, “You should get a flu shot. It actually prevents heart attacks.”

Let me be clear: It ACTUALLY does NOT.

And if you want proof, consider this: If it really did, they would drop the word “flu”, rename it, sell it as a heart attack vaccine, and start pushing it twice as hard 365 days a year.

Origin of AIDS: The Polio Vaccine (CBC ‘Witness’, 2004) #Vaccines#Health#AIDS

Is the thought of injecting ground up monkey parts into children disturbing to you, as it is to me? Can you believe that this process still takes place today, and alternative methods have been available for some time.

The correlation between the epicenter of A.I.D.S., and the oral, live polio vaccine campaign, in parts of Africa, is striking, and deserves greater investigation.
