 Gardasil Reaction in Texas: A Letter from Aubrey  

Dear Dr. Flannery,

Just wanted to say thank you! You have changed my life. Before we started care with you I felt miserable. My whole body was in pain. I never wanted to do anything except sleep all the time. But now I feel so much better then I use to! My pain and jerks have gotten better! The sound and the light sensitivity has also gotten better. I can handle light more and it doesn’t hurt my eyes as bad. The sound I can also handle more of! Also, my family has noticed I have more energy than I use to! So again, thank you so much for everything.

Love,

Aubrey B.

Gardasil Reaction in California: Ashlie’s Near-Death Experience

In the middle of June 2009, Ashlie received her first and only Gardasil vaccine.  Approximately 16 days later Ashlie began to complain that her legs were not working correctly.  Looking back, I am not sure what I thought it was, but I had her take some Tylenol.  The next morning, I came downstairs and Ashlie was lying on the couch.  She told me that she had crawled from her room and down the stairs to get to the couch. She informed me she could not walk. I asked her to stand. She tried and fell to the floor.

She was quickly taken to our local ER. The doctor threw his hands in the air saying he had no idea and it must be growing pains. She was given crutches and a prescription for steroids.  I took her home convinced the doctor was wrong, as I am a mother of 5 daughters and had never witnessed growing pains like that.

Later that night, I helped Ashlie in and out of the bathtub because she could no longer walk. I went to hand her something and to my horror discovered that her arms and hands were not working either. She literally could not pick up what I was handing her. I rushed Ashlie to an ER over an hour away.  I carried her in, and for a crowded ER on a Saturday night, she was seen within 1 hour.

I was asked if she had been sick and I informed them she had not. We were told that she had Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). I could not figure out how she got this.

Once she was admitted to the hospital, they handed me a bunch of literature on GBS. My answer to how she contracted GBS was in the first sentence that I read, and it said that you can get GBS from a vaccine. She had just had a vaccine, the Gardasil vaccine earlier that month.

As Ashlie lay in the hospital bed I watched her go from a vibrant young girl to a shell of non-existence. She was unable to walk, she was unable to get up to use the bathroom and as she couldn’t eat, an NG tube was placed in her nose so they could feed her. She was given intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) and plasmapheresis , in the hope that this would stop the paralysis and start it descending.

Within 24 hours things went from bad to worse. Her respiratory system was shutting down. The GBS was paralyzing her to the point that she could not breathe. She was rushed to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Within minutes of being there she stopped breathing. I could not believe what I was seeing. My baby girl was dying before my very eyes.  They put her on a bi-pap machine to help her breathe and on July 1, 2009 Ashlie was intubated.  She could no longer breathe on her own, to keep her alive a machine had to do the work for her.  Her heart was racing, ranging between 160-180 bpm. For the next 2 1/2 weeks, I sat and watched as she continued to get worse.

Slowly her body began to “heal” and the GBS started to descend.  After 3 weeks of being intubated, she began to breathe on her own and was extubated. However, as the feeling came back, she was in excruciating pain. Pain so bad she felt like we were ripping her skin off if we touched her.  She was then transported to Orange County to Healthbridge Children’s Hospital for rehabilitation. Ashlie spent another 4-weeks away from home doing physical and occupational therapy 7-days a week. She was tired, her body hurt, her body would not cooperate at times, and we had lots of tears.  After spending her 13th birthday in the hospital we decided it was time to go home and start our new lives.

After 6-months of therapy at our local hospital the therapists said there was not much more they could do for her and she was as good as she was going to get. That was not the answer I wanted to hear. She was only 13-years-old.

Although some things fell into place, we noticed that Ashlie’s health began to change also. She was unable to keep foods down. Anytime she ate, she became very ill and everything came out one way or another. We noticed that she would have dizzy spells and pass out. She would have severe nerve pain at times, to the point that she could not be touched by anyone anywhere on her body. She said it felt as if her skin was being pulled from her body again. I have watched her go in and out of consciousness and struggle to breathe. We have taken Ashlie to many different doctors and specialists. At one point they almost did heart surgery on her to try and stop her from passing out.

She has been seen in different emergency rooms over the last 4 years only to be told time and time again, that there is nothing wrong with her and that it is all in her head.

Finally, during the summer of 2013, I was reading a story about a girl who had been injured by the Gardasil vaccine. I never read the comments below because I find them to be rude or critical. This particular day, I decided to read one.

A lady mentioned a doctor who helped her niece. I contacted her and then the doctor. The doctor was Dr. Mark Flannery at HealthWise Clinical Nutrition. My first phone call to HealthWise Clinical Nutrition, was the first time I was hopeful that Ashlie would get better. In talking to them on the phone they were not shocked at her condition and they were very familiar with it. Finally, finally we were going to get help and the answers we were looking for. Happy that someone believed us.  It took a few months to get all of Ashlie’s medical records in order. We contacted all of her doctors and specialists that we had been seeing. The staff at HealthWise Clinical Nutrition was amazing, keeping in constant contact with me through the process and answering any questions I was having.  We met with Dr. Flannery in Sept 2013 and started treatment in October 2013. It has been a long hard road.  Ashlie has completely changed her eating pattern and takes many supplements. She has phone appointments with him every 4-6 weeks. She is taking less supplements now and is getting ready to soon start bringing foods back into her diet.  She feels amazing and she looks amazing. She was sick all the time before seeing Dr. Flannery, and now, she feels like she has her life back.

One of her goals she discussed with Dr. Flannery was to become flexible again. A silly thing to most, but to her as a dancer it is everything. She is slowly but surely getting it back. I even watched her do a backbend from a standing position a few days ago. Something I thought I would never see again.

I regret every day giving her this vaccine, but I am so glad she is such a fighter and has not given up.  We hope too that whatever we can achieve for Ashlie can benefit so many other girls and boys who have also been badly injured by the Gardasil vaccine.

Gardasil Reaction in New Mexico

My daughter BaLeigh was treated by Dr. Mark Flannery for side effects from the Gardasil vaccine.  We live in New Mexico and, of course he is in Simi Valley, California.  To my surprise the distance was not an obstacle in any way.  The attention we received from Dr. Flannery far exceeded anything we experienced with local doctors.

I cannot say enough positive things about the experience that we had with Dr. Flannery, both for BaLeigh’s physical health, but also our mental stability.  It was a very difficult time when we found him. BaLeigh was very ill.  Her health was very unstable.  She was having life-threatening symptoms and had lost all quality of life.  We had visited many traditional medical doctors and had many traditional medical tests run on BaLeigh.  We were finding no answers.  Dr. Flannery was the light at the end of the tunnel for us.  His method of treatment was uncomfortable for us at first, but we followed it to the letter.  BaLeigh’s life threatening symptoms started to level out and she began to improve instead of developing new symptoms every day.

While Dr. Flannery’s treatment is truly what we believe is best for the Gardasil girls, that was not the only thing we received from Dr. Flannery.  He cares about the girls who are sick and the compassion he showed us was invaluable.  He was very accessible for us and understood the emotional toll of this condition along with the physical price.

Dr. Flannery was a gift from God to us.  The care he gave us, not only to BaLeigh, but also to me as her mother, was proof to us that God cared about what was happening in our lives and that He was working and providing answers.  I would encourage any female who is suffering from Gardasil to do everything exactly as Dr. Flannery instructs.

Gardasil Reaction in Saudi Arabia

I have been injured on the 14th of March 2011 by the Gardasil vaccine. Right after that I started a severe back pain, nausea, total fatigue along with total body pain. At one stage I reached to a level that I lost the ability to walk more than two minutes as the pain was unbearable. This vaccine is the worst thing that ever happened to me. I looked for many doctors but none of them had a clue of what is going on with my body.

Dr. Flannery is the only Doctor who I met that had a clear understanding of how much Gardasil can damage your body. His treatment is totally different but very effective. I really have improved with Dr. Flannery and I do not have the nausea anymore and now have more energy to get the day done. I am able to walk again and my back pain has been improving with time. I still have more treatment to be done but I am confident that with the help of God and Dr. Flannery I will be back to my normal me soon.

By the way I am living in Saudi Arabia and amazingly that was not an issue for Dr. Flannery, and we managed to find ways to get meetings done online with Skype and have supplements sent to me for treatment. He is an amazing guy and will do anything for his patients. I am very lucky to be treated by him and I thank God for sending him my way.

Gardasil Reaction in South Dakota

We feel truly blessed to have found Dr. Mark so quickly after the decline of our daughters’ health after their second Gardasil shot. Not only was I scared by the girls’ health but also by the lack of answers and attention we were getting from traditional medicine. Calling this nontraditional Doctor was a leap of faith in more ways than one.  We were 1,300 miles away from him, our insurance wouldn’t cover most of the treatments, and we don’t have much money.  But you will do anything for your children – right?  I’m so thankful I made that call.

At the time the girls were 12 and 15 years old and experienced different reactions. Both had muscle aches and spasms, exhaustion and blackouts. Our eldest experienced seizures and severe headaches, too. Both of the girls had always been extremely healthy and any kind of illness was out of the usual. To watch the decline in them was terrifying.

My rattled nerves were calmed tremendously in just visiting with Dr. Mark. And it was Dr. Mark who spoke with me, not a nurse or receptionist. He was familiar with our story when no one else would even believe us, and he had answers. There ended up being no travel involved, very reasonable prices, and some of the most attentive care I have ever witnessed. Dr. Mark gave me his office number, cell number and home number…and answered when I called!

The treatments are very holistic and scientifically based. The girls hated the diet restrictions, but survived it and are well today. My husband and I followed the same diet with the girls just to be supportive and have chosen to continue with it because we feel so much better and experience very few of the aches and pains we had previously thought were related to aging – not diet!

I have recommended Dr. Mark to people with all sorts of ailments…leaky guts, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and of course, any girl suffering an adverse reaction to Gardasil.

No matter what Western Medicine is telling (or not telling) you, if your daughter has suffered an adverse reaction, do her a huge favor…pick up the phone and call Dr. Mark. You won’t regret it like you are regretting other things right now!

Thank you, Dr. Mark, for rescuing us! Thank you, Lord, for Dr. Mark. We are truly grateful.

Gardasil Reaction in Missouri

There are not enough words for me to be able to fully express my gratitude to Dr. Mark Flannery. It is because of him and the grace of God that I still have my daughter with me today.

My daughter Cassie started experiencing side effects from the Gardasil vaccine immediately after her first injection, but because we were told the reaction was completely unrelated to Gardasil she continued with all three shots. It was after the third and final one that she became seriously ill. Cassie was hospitalized, her symptoms consisted of severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, severe headaches with light and sound sensitivity, and extreme nose bleeds. After being in the hospital for 7 weeks the doctors diagnosed Cassie with pancreatitis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and severe intestinal swelling. She was placed on TPN and Lipids (IV nutrition as she could not eat) and had surgery to remove the cysts. Her condition continued to worsen and the doctors had no idea why or how to further help her. Cassie was then flown to yet another hospital. After three more weeks Cassie started having seizures as well as other neurological problems and still no answers. Still on the feeding tube with 5 different IV nausea medications, as well as IV pain medicine we were sent home with Home Health to continue the care of Cassie.  Less than one month later Cassie lost feeling in her lower extremities and started experiencing heart problems. Cassie went back into the hospital for another three weeks and then to a rehab facility where Cassie started the process of walking again.

It was at this point when God brought Dr. Flannery into our lives. Cassie spent over 13 weeks in the hospital and another 4 in a rehab facility and yet she was not getting better, she was continuing to get worse. Every week was another symptom and the only thing the medical profession knew to do was symptomatic treatment, and that was not helping. Dr. Flannery took over Cassie’s care, treating the dysfunction undrlying her illness rather than the symptoms and with just a few short weeks Cassie began to stabilize. I was very uncertain of Dr. Marks approach; however, we had given western medicine more than enough time to help our daughter and it failed us miserably.

I know had it not been for God leading us to Dr. Mark Flannery, my daughter Cassie would not be with us today. It has now been a year and Cassie is eating on her own (following a strict diet), walking, and only taking supplement recommended by Dr. Mark. Cassie still has some healing to do, but we are confident with the help of Dr. Mark she will be 100% soon.

Gardasil Reaction in Nebraska

After receiving the Gardisil vaccination in February, I experienced severe abdominal pain that brought on vomiting, headaches, back pain and high blood pressure. I was in and out of the hospital for a total of 12 days in 2 months while they performed many tests including: blood tests, multiple cat scans, an MRI and other tests revealing no definitive diagnosis.

My sudden illness kept me from completing my schoolwork and I had to eventually take a leave of absence from Junior High. Something had to be done since I wasn’t getting better on my own and the doctors could not offer me any relief.

I left my hometown in Nebraska for Simi Valley, California in search of a miracle.

My Aunt Candice referred my family to HealthWise Chiropractic & Nutrition. We had our doubts, but were hopeful. The course of treatment included chiropractic therapy combined with advanced nutrition and dietary changes.

In one month, I am free from the stomach pain, vomiting, headaches, back pain and my blood pressure is now normal. I feel 100% better! I’m now looking forward to living as a vibrant 14 year old with more energy than before!

Thank you Dr. Mark and Dr. Vera.

Shelby J., Papillion, NE

Gardasil Reaction in Louisiana

After receiving the Gardasil vaccine, my daughter began experiencing an array of troubling symptoms, including numbness, severe swelling, and difficulty walking.  At times, Alison’s ankles would swell so badly that she could not wear shoes.  The doctors we originally sought just wanted to treat her symptoms with drugs instead of getting to the root of her problem.  No one knew how to treat Alison’s “mysterious” illness, and it was a very frustrating time in our lives.

After contacting HealthWise Chiropractic & Nutrition, I knew that we had found the right place.  Speaking with Dr. Vera made us feel refreshingly understood and Dr. Mark confirmed our confidence in HealthWise.  Alison is now recovering without drugs and their side effects!  Dr. Mark and Dr. Vera have been nothing but honest, encouraging, and knowledgeable in regards to Alison’s treatment.

I would not hesitate to recommend Healthwise Chiropractic & Nutrition. In fact, I recommend anyone not getting the results they desire from the traditional medical community to seek better health and knowledge from HealthWise.  Finding Dr. Mark was a gift from God – I truly believe this.

Gardasil: Criminal complaint filed in Spain#Vaccines#iBelieve#HPV

jlvranes Leave a comment

By Norma Erickson

Logo-2[1]SaneVax-FeaturedJune 19 2014, Logroño, Spain: Attorney Don Manuel Sáez Ochoa filed a criminal complaint against Merck-Sanofi Pasteur Laboratories, Spanish National Health authorities, and the regional health authorities of the La Rioja province on behalf of Zuriñe Jiménez Guereño and her mother Doña Maria del Carmen Jiménez Guereño for injuries and disabilities suffered by Zuriñe after the administration of Gardasil. 

The complaint states that Merck Laboratories failed to use an inert placebo during clinical trials, thereby manipulating data and marketing Gardasil under false pretences. Despite complaints of several young women with similar new medical conditions after Gardasil injections, the Spanish health authorities ignored calls for a moratorium on the use of Gardasil until the safety issues were resolved.

Both regional and national health authorities made no attempt to verify the accuracy of the safety data Merck submitted to gain approval for the widespread administration of Gardasil as a cancer preventative; nor did they make any attempt to inform the public that an already proven safe and effective means of controlling cervical cancer was already in existence.

The complaint goes on to say both national and local health authorities had adequate knowledge regarding the potential harmful effects of Gardasil and chose to recommend administration of the HPV vaccine anyway. The complaint alleges this showed an absolute disregard for the health and well-being of young Spanish girls.

According to the complaint, the attitude of the Merck pharmaceutical company and Spanish health authorities (both national and regional) before, during and after the administration of Gardasil shows they care nothing about the risk to which medical consumers expose themselves whenever Gardasil is used.

The complaint states, prior to administration, no one was concerned about possible adverse reactions to the vaccine. When adverse reactions did occur, those who experienced them were treated with contempt leaving them in a state of helplessness. There was allegedly not one single official inquiry about the girls’ post-Gardasil conditions even though they were healthy prior to being injected with Gardasil.

An outcry from the public calling for a moratorium on the use of Gardasil until safety issues were resolved was ignored by Spanish health authorities. Injections of Gardasil continued despite the damage left behind.

According to Attorney Don Manuel Sáez Ochoa,

(claiming) a possible exemption arguing that they did not know at the time of processing, the dangers of the vaccine (Gardasil) is laughable……Frankly this attitude seems clearly malicious and constitutes the offense of injury as per Artile 149.1 of the Criminal Code that states: To cause another, by any means or process, the loss or worthlessness of an organ or principal member, or a sense, impotence, sterility, severe deformity, or severe somatic or mental illness, shall be punished with imprisonment of six to twelve years.

Charges contained in the official criminal complaint

Merck-Sanofi Pasteur, Spain’s National and Regional (La Rioja) health authorities are charged with the following:

  • fraudulent marketing and/or administration of an inadequately tested vaccine;
  • failure to inform the public about the potential risks of using Gardasil;
  • clear infringement of the right to informed consent;
  • ignoring new medical conditions in those who used Gardasil despite the similarity of their symptoms and the relatively short period of time between vaccine administration and the onset of symptoms;
  • ignoring established and new scientific evidence illustrating the potential harmful effects of Gardasil ingredients and manufacturing methods;
  • callous disregard for those suffering new medical conditions post-Gardasil;
  • failure to inform the public that HPV infections are simply one of the risk factors involved in the  development of cervical cancer;
  • failure to inform the public that 90% of all HPV infections clear on their own without medical intervention;
  • failure to inform the publlic about alternative methods of controlling cervical cancer; and
  • criminal liability for the injuries resulting from the administration of Gardasil

Even if one assumes that Merck-Sanofi Pasteur and all of the government health officials were not aware of the potential risks and lack of proven benefit of Gardasil, there has been plenty of scientific and medical evidence provided since 2007 when the vaccine was approved for use in Spain.

Given their expertise, all of these people were aware of the fact that there are several methods to control cervical cancer that have already been proven safe and effective.

Zuriñe was a healthy, athletic and academically gifted girl until she received the recommended three doses of Gardasil via an immunization program at her school when she was 13 years old. Three weeks later, she was admitted to the emergency room of her local hospital suffering from a multitude of symptoms including dizziness, fatigue and convulsions.

After receiving no answers from her doctors, the conversations began to include hints of conversion disorder. Her parents decided to take her to a private specialist.

According to this specialist, Dr. Mark Mazzuca:

Zuriñe suffers severe cell disease, oxidative stress linked to a demineralization of her body. To put it graphically, she is an 18 year old girl locked in a cell body of a person over sixty years old. Zuriñe also suffers from hard infield Ortostátiaco Postural Syndrome polyneuropathy revealing a central character. It also presents as liver and bladder inflammation.

Five years after her last Gardasil shot, Zuriñe’s life bears little resemblance to anything she once considered normal. In and out of hospitals dealing with ‘mysterious’ new medical conditions every day. No one knows how much of her normal life she will be able to regain.

Thousands of young women around the world are finding themselves in the same position as Zuriñe. They have gone from being happy, active, and healthy to facing a multitude of autoimmune problems and neurological disorders. For them, the ‘possible’ adverse effects of Gardasil have become an all too harsh and brutal reality.

It is time for those responsible to be held accountable for their actions. Criminal prosecution is quite possibly the only way to accomplish that goal.

Perhaps six to twelve years in prison would remind those responsible what it means to conduct yourself in an ethical manner. Perhaps they would remember that their first duty is to maintain the public health, not destroy it.

On July 30, the Judge decided to open criminal proceedings and investigation of the facts. The first criminal case in Spain regarding Gardasil injuries and potential criminal liability begins.

Australia: My Gardasil Survivor#Vaccines#iBelieve#HPV

jlvranes Leave a comment

By Kate, from Sydney

I am the fortunate one.
I am the Mother of a brilliant, intelligent, empathetic, and wise beyond her year’s young woman.
We live in Sydney, Australia, with her Dad, little brother, and little sister.
I will call her G.S.
As in Gardasil Survivor. 
 

Gardasil Survivor

G.S.
Golden girl.
My first born.
Ridiculously talented.
Ridiculously wise.
Ridiculously beautiful inside and out.
Like all our children, ridiculously loved.
She remains so.
However now, she is ridiculously ill. 
 
G.S. is the type of person that everyone loves.
Pre-Gardasil, everyone celebrated her accomplishments with us.
Athletics champ.
Singing voice to die for.
The courage to sing a solo on the stage of the Sydney Opera House in front of a 600 strong choir.
She was just ten years old. 
 
School Captain in Primary School.
Primary School Dux.
The stuff we are lead to believe dream kids are made of.
More than I can even begin with here.
You get the picture. 
 
When G.S. was in her first year of High School, I gave my consent for her to receive the Gardasil vaccine.
I totally believed that I was protecting her.
I did not, however, research the side effects of this particular vaccine prior to giving my consent.
Put bluntly, I bought the hype. 
 
Hind sight screams at me daily. 
 
We now live with the consequences of that decision.
Worst of all, my daughter has been forced to endure what she now has to go through because of that decision.
The effects of toxicity.
The myelin depletion in her brain, made evident in the results of an MRI during her first hospital admission.
Cue the auto-immune disease diagnosis.
And then the P.A.N.D.A.S. one.
Welcome chronic depression into the mix.
Suicidal ideation.
Low blood pressure.
Muscle and joint pain.
EEGs to capture seizures.
Inability to eat and drink, or care to do anything.
Having to be constantly motivated to move, speak or participate in her own life.
Sleeping on a mattress outside her bedroom door at night to protect her from herself.
Hiding and locking up all knives and sharps for the very real fear of suicide.
Being too unwell to continue High School or complete H.S.C.
Feeling less than adequate because of it.
A revolving door of hospital admissions.
Denial
Fear, pain, anguish, guilt. 
 
There is so much more.
There continues to be so much more.
There is no magic bullet.
There is only on-going management, not cure.
We have been forced to accept a new brand of normal
Much of it is simply not easy.
We are, however, entirely committed to making our girl’s quality of life all that it should, and could be. 
 
We are four years post Gardasil now.
We continue with the battle.
Our G.S continues with her battles.
We have no choice. There are no options.
Every day.
Battles.
 
There are so many other issues and concerns that I could outline here, but these are some that I hope you might consider.
Do inform yourself about the possible side effects in relation to the Gardasil vaccine.
Check out the product insert and look at the ingredients in the vaccine.
Weigh up the side effects very carefully.
Assess the general health of your child, and consider the impact of this vaccine in terms of your own child’s genetic predisposition which may or may not result in the manifestation of particular illnesses, syndromes or conditions.
Clearly understand that the Gardasil vaccine is affording it’s marketers a massive amount of monetary profit.
With no proven efficacy. 
 
The thing is, most parents that have not given consent for the administration of this vaccine to their children are not crazy hippie, weirdoes, or ill-informed ant-vaxxers.
Be prepared for mainstream media and most doctors to characterize you that way should you refuse this vaccine.
Sadly, governments, and profit driven pharmaceutical companies would like to paint us in that way.
Because it is to their benefit.
It is also much easier, safer and convenient for us and them for everyone to go with the flow.
It is simply not the case.
It is simply untrue.
Do not be intimidated.
The co-incidence argument is also tiresome and unfounded.
What an incredibly hard lesson we have learned. 
 
If only I could turn back time.
 
Kate and G.S., no words can portray the feelings in my heart for this enduring trial.  I know that our Heavenly Father loves you, and aches for your pains as well.  He will guide you, and comfort you.  Our prayers are with you. So often I feel that music helps us to heal, and be even stronger.  I hope this song can ease the sadness, and bring peace to your soul.  Your friend, jen  🙂

Haleigh and Gardasil

Haleigh’s story starts out like many others.  She was always involved in some kind of sports: gymnastics, dance, cross country, track/field, flag football, basketball, softball, plus just doing outdoor activities bike riding, long boarding, hanging out with friends etc…  The family was always involved and enjoyed watching her at any of her events.  She was very happy, though she was always shy and quiet in her classes (her teachers always told us how much they loved her and how respectful she is but wished she would talk more).

The only time she ever went to the doctor was to get immunizations and physicals to play sports and couple of injury visits. Haleigh received her first injection of Gardasil on the 26th of June 2008 and the second on the 24th of September 2009.

She was in 7th grade with her 13th birthday coming up at the end of Jan 2010.  We planned a trip to the “haunted” Stanley Hotel in Estes. I remember earlier in January she was sick and vomiting a couple different times. When she recovered I thought – good, she will be healthy for the trip to the hotel.

While at the ‘haunted’ hotel, she slipped and fell on a small grass hill and broke her wrist.  We all joked about it saying that a ghost pushed her.

During the first weeks of Feb 2010, she started to have stabbing pains in her right side (gallbladder) and more nausea. At first, the doctors thought maybe the pain was from the fall at hotel and prescribed physical therapy and some pain meds.

That didn’t work, so they said she was either having cramps or she was constipated. She was prescribed a soft laxative.  Haleigh knew this was not her problem.

We returned to the office several times, pleading with them to not prescribe any more medications that would simply mask the problem. We knew something was seriously wrong.

They could see from her medical records that we did not visit them previously for anything other than routine visits.  Haleigh explained repeatedly that she was experiencing stabbing pains and nausea all the time.

In April we went in and the doctor actually asked how she was during spring break insinuating that she might have been faking symptoms to avoid school. I said, “As the matter of fact, it is her spring break now and she is miserable.”

I could not believe they just kept trying to medicate her for a UTI (urinary tract infection), cramps and constipation.

After two and half months of watching her suffer rolled in ball crying,  I searched for additional help and found a doctor who ordered a hydascan (special nuclear die test).  This test revealed that her gallbladder was functioning at less than 10% of normal capacity.

Conversion disorder?

Her gallbladder was removed two days before Easter 2010. The surgeon said he had no idea why it was not functioning because it looked to be a healthy gallbladder with no sludge or any defects.

No, she did not fit the profile for a gallbladder issue but we were happy to have the answer and move on.  She would feel better now.  The stabbing pain was gone.  She was affected by foods now that she didn’t have a gallbladder.  We had to spend some time getting used to know what foods she could and could not eat.

In Sept 2010, she started having issues again – back to hospitals and doctor visits. This time we thought it was due to her gallbladder but, the stabbing pain had come back in the lower right side this time.

The doctors said this was because she might have ovarian cysts and sent her to the women’s clinic during the first week of November.  The clinic put her on birth control pills and Vicodin.

By the end of November, Haleigh was in so much pain her family doctor sent us back to the women’s clinic where the doctor said this has nothing to do with cysts.  She felt it was appendicitis and admitted her to the hospital.

The hospital kept her there for two nights and many tests with no explanations forthcoming.  They said she was a ‘mystery’.

The family doctor thought stress was causing her stomach to produce too much acid and said she should take some antacids.

After watching her suffer again with stabbing pain, I started searching for answers with other doctors.  We went to Children’s Hospital and saw a gastroenterologist. The week before Christmas she was back in surgery getting her appendix removed and small cyst that had ruptured on her right ovary.

Again the surgeon stated that the appendix looked healthy.  So now that she has no gallbladder or appendix and she’s on birth control pills to help with cysts. She should be on the up and up now.

Despite all of Haleigh’s mysterious new symptoms, no one considered the possibility of any connection to the Gardasil vaccine. She received her third and final injection on the 9th of March 2011.

Throughout the entire ordeal, her teachers were very understanding and helpful.  They knew Haleigh and felt so bad knowing she was not well.   She desperately wanted to get back into sports.  Running was painful for her now and tiring.  We thought this to be from her surgeries.

Haleigh started gymnastics again just before 9th grade started and injured the lisfranc ligament in her foot.  She was unable to start the softball season in high school because she was in a boot.

The summer before 10th grade she had high school softball practice and began the season.  Right at the start of school she had a first aid class outside and was stung by a bee in the foot.  Haleigh has been stung before and had no allergic reaction, but this time her foot became so swollen she could not get her cleats on for her softball games for a couple of weeks.

Once she was back to practice she was hit in the face with ball while warming up with a teammate. She was unable to play for most of the season because of the concussion, but was back playing by the end of season.

Someday I will have my life back.

After Haleigh’s 16th birthday in January, she experienced pounding headaches and spells of vomiting every day up to 6 times per day for almost 3 months.  We now had a different family doctor.  He ordered many tests to be done all of which came back normal.  Again with the “mystery” illness.  He thought she should try Prilosec. This did not help, so he sent us back to Children’s Hospital to the gastroenterologist.  They did an endoscopy and found that she had bile in her stomach and that her stomach lining was irritated – but could not see why.

She was also having constant headaches that did not go along with GI problems, so we were referred back to the concussion clinic. They stated it was too far past the time of the accident for her conditions to be post-concussion symptoms.

Throughout this time we did all that was asked of us, went wherever they sent us, and submitted to every test they recommended. With no questions asked!

Her doctor would just say, “She’s a mystery, maybe we are just chasing our tails with no answers to be found.”

Now it’s 2014, she has missed lots of school. Her teachers could tell she wasn’t well and were very helpful with her class work.

January and February of this year brought on another bout of nonstop vomiting and headaches.  Back to ER more blood tests and scans – all coming back normal.

Now, doctors are mentioning more and more that she must be under stress which is causing all of her ‘mysterious’ new medical conditions. This of course does not make us happy. We know that depression is not the cause of our daughter’s new health issues.  Having doctors claim it is depression is discouraging and depressing all by itself.

Around the middle of Feb 2014, she began to have some type of small seizures.  I came home from work and found her on the floor, very upset and scared.  She said her heart was racing, then her legs went stiff and she fell to floor shaking.

I called the doctor and they sent us to the emergency room. The ER doctor did CAT scan and blood tests and found everything normal. The doctor stated Haleigh obviously had depression which was causing this to all happen.

At this visit we spoke with the hospital counselor. That is when the light came on for us regarding Gardasil.  I discovered that she had her 2nd HPV shot just 4 months before the Jan 2010 stomach issues.

We followed up with the family doctor and asked if it could be the HPV Vaccine.  His answer was, “I’m looking on the VAERS reports right here and I don’t see anything that shows any side effects reported.”

He said he felt it was “conversion disorder” and wrote it down for me.  He said he wasn’t saying she was crazy or doing it on purpose but that her brain was causing all of this to happen.

I asked him right then, “So, what you are saying is that her brain caused her gallbladder to stop functioning?”

His answer was, “That may have been the root cause for all of this. She should go to a psychiatrist so that she has someone that would listen since she’s been through so many mystery illnesses with no answers.”

He also said that he didn’t want to put her through any more test with no answers; that we were just going in circles.

I asked if there was some test that could be done to at least rule out the possibility that her symptoms might be related to Gardasil.

He replied, “We haven’t got one yet.”

In April 2014, Haleigh got very sick again. This time her throat and face started to swell, so we were told to take her to ER where she tested positive for mono.  She was vomiting every day for two weeks, she also had headache and dizziness.

We now have more of an understanding of what is going on with our Haleigh. Just knowing helps us get through this nightmare ride. We hope to get answers by reaching out.

Here is a list of some of her many symptoms throughout the past 4 years:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Headache/stabbing headache
  • stabbing abdominal pain
  • Dizziness
  • chest pain
  • fatigue
  • joint pain
  • shortness of breath
  • Racing heart
  • back pain
  • neck pain
  • skin rash
  • seizure symptoms
  • Black outs
  • foot pain
  • bloating/swelling

Here is a partial list of the medications she was given the last 4 years:

  • Amitriptyline
  • Cephalexin
  • flexeril
  • Keflex
  • Meloxicam
  • Promethazine
  • Compazine
  • Naproxen
  • Prilosec dr
  • Ranitidine
  • Zofran

 
  • Cyproheptadine
  • Prednisone
  • meclizine
  • amoxicillin
  • tramadol
  • imitrex
  • trokendi xr
  • Carafate
  • Sprintec
  • Oxycodone
  • ondansetron

 

Some of these medications were prescribed many times. Had any of them worked at all for her, we would have stop searching for answers. At this point, reaching out to others who are in similar circumstances is our only hope of obtaining any answers. We have no other option.

I hate the fact that I was made to question my daughter. I hate the fact that the medical community tried to convince me this was simply teen hormones and/or stress.

I cannot begin to describe how difficult it has been to watch her suffer so badly and receive nothing but doubt and excuses from the professional medical community. I can only imagine how difficult it has been for Haleigh.

Nevertheless, Haleigh has stayed strong through the whole ordeal.  She has had the support of family, close friends and teachers.  We will all continue to support her and fight to find answers for her.

Haleigh and Tamara, I am so sorry to hear of your plight. What a trial!  Your fortitude, and exactness, through this time, is truly impressive. It is so nice to hear of the wonderful support from your friends, family and teachers.

Thankfully, you have heard about SaneVax.org. No need to lose any time now.  They will have excellent guidance, and please look through the Featured Doctors section of my blog.  There are individuals healing the world over, and probably best to work with a doctor that is familiar, and successful in caring for like conditions.

I hope you like James Taylor and The Dixie Chics.  I like to share a little music to help you take your mind off things for awhile. 

Please know, you are in good hands now, and look ahead to the future.  Your friend, jen  🙂

Gardasil: 5 years to the light at the end of the tunnel?#Vaccines#HPV#Health

By Donna Eliassen, Australia

Part 1 – The nightmare begins:  http://sanevax.org/shania-from-australia/

Part 2 – A promising update:  http://sanevax.org/update-on-shania-the-flyer-mandurah-western-australia/

Shania from Australia

It is now May 2014.  It was May 2009 when Shania had the first of the two Gardasil shots that ruined her swimming career and her life in the ensuing years.  (You can read about that in the links above.)

In 2014, the only obvious legacy from the Gardasil damage is a poor immune system.  But we are working on that.  Other changes…

This year she has been one of the first to catch the seasonal colds but unlike the past years, the colds have not all gone straight to her chest and given her bronchitis; neither have they hung around for weeks or months.  She is bouncing back more quickly, which is a hugely positive sign.  And she no longer needs her Asthma puffer either.

It has been said that the effects of the Gardasil vaccine may only last 5 years and that 5 year limitation is every Gardasil victim’s lifeline.  Here’s why…

It started last year – obvious signs that something was happening healing-wise.  Shania was in 2 major shows one after the other for starters.  She had the lead of Mabel in Gilbert and Sullivan’s ‘Pirates of Penzance’ the first part of the year, and then she went straight into the ensemble of ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ for the second part of the year (her idea of relaxation!).

THIS year, 2014, is her final year (year 12) at Senior High School level in Australia.  (Next year is University.)  This year, the DAY BEFORE THE COMPETITION, the Director of Sports at her college begged and pleaded with her to consider to swim with their relay team at the inter-schools competition, even if she didn’t want to do the individual races, just help them out with the relay events.  Apparently one of the swimmers had to drop out at the last minute.

Of course, she said no.  She’s had to say no every year since 2009. She hasn’t been in the pool racing since she collapsed in 2009. She hasn’t trained since she tried to go back in 2010 and realized she couldn’t.  The mind was willing but the body couldn’t.  And now, she’d been out of the pool 4-5 years and this guy wanted her to race?

But he persisted.  His argument was that even in her poor condition having not swum or trained for so many years, she was still bound to be better than somebody with none of her background.

Cutting a long story short he wore her down.  The College swim team had been training for months and had even gone on a swimming “camp”!  Shania’s only “training” for this event was a 40 minute warm up the night before the competition at the local pool.  I sat on the sidelines, a very worried mum because the last time she’d been in the pool racing was early 2009.

Next day at the competition at Challenge Stadium she swam in the relay team for the B Division of the College.  They put her in first place in this relay team – the first swimmer off the block.  To her and everyone else’s surprise, she gave the team a nice lead and a head start over the schools in the other lanes.

The teachers were so impressed they figured they’d put her in their A Division relay team too.  They placed her second in the team, meaning she’d be the second swimmer off the blocks. A new experience for her – in her past swimming life she had always been either the first swimmer (to give the team a good lead) or the last swimmer (to catch up if the team wasn’t in first place).  But she didn’t care.  She was happy to be back in the pool doing what she loved.

So, the A Division relay starts… The first swimmer went in and at the end of the first 50m leg, their team was in 6th place…  not a great start… better than 7th or 8th, of course, but hardly inspiring for Shania who had to follow this as the second swimmer.

She dove in and started swimming.  She powered up the pool from 6th place, overtaking all the other lanes and when she touched the other end, she’d put her team in first place with a good lead.  The Announcer said “Who on earth is THAT!”

The school sport director was celebrating.  He knew who it was and he’d seen it all before… albeit many years before!

It also heralded the moment when I finally believed that we were no longer in that tunnel looking at the light at the end… we had passed through it!  Shania could not have done what she had if Gardasil was still affecting her. And she couldn’t keep up this timetable either…

This year she is in her final Year 12 of school.  She is studying 5 TEE subjects.  Her homework schedule has to be seen to be believed!  Now she knows why some people only do 3 or 4 TEE subjects… she chose 5.  One of them requires filming on weekends and in her precious holiday breaks – Media…

She is also the College Cultural Prefect with additional responsibilities including having to arrange the Year 12 Ball.  She is also the lead, Belle, in the College musical production of Beauty and the Beast.  She rehearses 2-3 times a week and this includes some Sundays, like tomorrow – from 10 am to 4 pm, and then she comes home and has to knuckle down and do homework and study.

Plus she does a LOT of singing – she has to learn about 7 songs for her exams, plus she recently sang the National Anthem at the Peel region ANZAC Day Memorial Service, and has to rehearse 7 other songs because she is singing at a private soiree later this month.  She let piano go but only because she simply couldn’t fit it in!

Every Saturday morning, we drive up into the city a good hour’s drive away for her classical lessons, then zoom back home and then she goes to work from 1 to 5 at a news agency. Sometimes she goes to a babysitting assignment after that.  She also goes to the gym once or twice a week. She is burning the candle at both ends trying to study for Year 12 exams and all the assignments she has on her plate, often not getting to bed until midnight or after.  In between all this she squeezes in time to see her boyfriend and friends.

Does this sound like someone suffering Gardasil injuries?

Shania had 2 of the 3 Gardasil injections.  I believe if she had had the full 3 shots she would not be here today.  Things were so bad five years ago, I never believed I’d see this day.  Look how far she’s come!

I hope this gives hope to other Gardasil victims that they, too, might also get their lives back eventually… Shania is living proof that it can happen.  It HAS happened.

Spain: First case filed against HPV vaccine manufacturers and health authorities#Vaccines#HPV#Health

jlvranes Leave a comment

By Alicia Capilla (President of AAVP)

AAVP-logo-Spain-smallAAVP, together with law firm Almodóvar & Jara, filed the first of a long series of lawsuits for damages caused by HPV vaccines. The complaint is filed in the High Court against health authorities and vaccine manufacturers.

The process of trying to find justice now begins for one of the Valencian girls who suffered an adverse reaction after the second shot of Gardasil in 2009. Spanish families whose lives have been adversely impacted by HPV vaccines have organized as the Association of Affected People by HPV Vaccine (AAVP www.aavp.es) to assist others in similar circumstances.

The well documented lawsuit is based on violations of the fundamental right to informed consent prior to medical interventions which all citizens have.

Parents whose daughters are vaccinated with Gardasil are not informed beforehand of the possible risks their daughters may suffer, despite the fact there are numerous reports in Spanish, European and American databases. Furthermore, most of the adverse reactions these girls suffered are included in the brochure/leaflet of the product.

The introduction of HPV vaccines into the market without their real effectiveness being known is another issue. The effectiveness has not sufficiently been proven and will not be demonstrated for decades.

Much of the damage these vaccines are producing is being hidden, despite the fact that pharmacovigilance systems around the world are collecting numerous reports of similar reactions.

Moreover, the Spanish Health Ministry withheld information from affected families by denying that the damage the girls suffered was legitimate and previously known via similar cases being reported to health authorities in various countries.

The  Spanish Ministry of Health, Sanofi Pasteur, and Merck, Sharp and Dohme (MSD), producers of Gardasil®, human papillomavirus vaccine, have a responsibility to report accurately and in a timely manner all data available at the time.

Health authorities around the world are trying to deny any causal relationship between HPV vaccines and adverse events occurring after vaccine use. In some cases, authorities say that the new medical conditions are psychological. This is a paradox because if people in different times and different places suffer a similar adverse reaction, it is undeniable that the cause is the vaccine.

The damage these girls have suffered and many continue to suffer were not all included in the leaflet at the time of injection. Some of them were included later. Others continue without being warned.

Based on data that the AAVP has examined, the number of suspected deaths and serious sequelae left behind after human papillomavirus vaccines is completely unacceptable.

As stated in the case filed, health authorities do not investigate the facts and their attitude is favoring manufacturers. They even accused the victims of suffering psychological disorders, which is not true.

This first case will be followed by another four within two months. The firm will continue to file additional cases, not only against Gardasil® but also Cervarix®, the other brand of the HPV vaccinemanufactured by GlaxoSmithKline.
