India: Supreme Court HPV Vaccine Controversy Continues#Vaccines#HPV#iBelieve

By Norma Erickson

New Delhi: A petition currently before the Supreme Court alleges that the Drugs Controller of India issued licenses for Gardasil and Cervarix without adequate research on safety. The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health and Family Welfare had asked for a premier investigating agency to enquire into it way back in 2010 and no action has been taken on it.

Petition number 558/2012, filed by Kalpana Mehta, Nalini Bhanot and V. Rukmini Rao, seeks to resolve this and several other issues by asking the Supreme Court of India to rescind the licenses for marketing and administration of HPV vaccines, make provisions to identify and treat any girls left with chronic health problems and/or autoimmune disorders after their participation in HPV vaccine trials, and strengthen the regulation of the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH) and other foreign NGOs so that they do not flout the laws of the country with such impunity.

12 August 2014, Supreme Court Judges Dipak Misra and V. Gopala Gowda allowed Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to be named as respondents in the case because some villages in these states were chosen for administering HPV vaccines as an experiment and reports estimate 1200 girls were left suffering from adverse reactions to Gardasil and Cervarix.

The judges directed government agencies to produce the file(s) relating to licensing of Gardasil and Cervarix, the report(s) of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health and Family Welfare which dealt with issues relating to HPV vaccines, and any files from the Indian Council of Medical Research dealing with HPV vaccines.

The judges want to examine whether proper protocol and procedures were followed prior to the introduction of HPV vaccines.

They also wish to see what action was taken after the parliamentary committee submitted its report and what the reasons were for choosing the specific locations in Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for introducing Gardasil and Cervarix on an experimental basis.

The Court seeks to know what actually caused the deaths of some participants in the demonstration projects/clinical trials and whether proper consent was obtained from the girls and/or their families prior to their participation in the experiment.

MSD Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. (subsidiary of Merck) and GlaxoSmithKline Ltd. were served notices.

Judges Misra and Gowda set the case for final hearing on October 28, 2014.

HPV Vaccine History in India:

2006: As part of a four-nation initiative against cervical cancer, PATH decided to launch ‘demonstration projects’ for the HPV vaccination in Peru, Uganda, Vietnam and India, using a grant of $27.8 million from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This decision was made by PATH with funding granted two years before HPV vaccines were approved for use in India.
2008: Gardasil and Cervarix were approved for marketing in India, allegedly without following the standard government protocol for vaccine approval in the country.
July and August 2009: The Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat governments, in association with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH), launched what they described as a ‘demonstration project’ for vaccination against cervical cancer.
During these demonstration projects: Gardasil, manufactured by Merck Sharpe & Dohme (India) Pharmaceuticals Private Limited (MSD), was administered to 13,791 girls in Khammam district in Andhra Pradesh. Cervarix, manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals (GSK) of Rixensart, Belgium, was administered to 9,637 girls in Vadodara district in Gujarat. An estimated 5% of those who participated were left with chronic health problems and/or autoimmune disorders.
Concurrently: Women’s groups, health networks, human rights groups and child rights groups in India voiced concerns about the safety, efficacy and public health value of both vaccines. Many joint memoranda enumerating these concerns were submitted to the Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare demanding an immediate halt to the demonstration projects.
2010: The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) conceded that the HPV vaccination project was in fact a “post-licensure operational research study.” The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) admitted that their ethical guidelines had been flouted in the course of this trial. The trial was temporarily suspended by the government, and a committee formed to conduct an inquiry.
The investigation revealed the so-called ‘demonstration project’ to be a calculated, multi-level violation of all existing protocol on clinical trials, as well as a glaring breach of children’s rights.
2012: Ultimately, the suspension and subsequent investigations allowed advocates in India to take their case to the Supreme Court. The Writ of Petition (#558/2012) was filed asking that the licenses for sale and marketing of both HPV vaccines be revoked because Gardasil and Cervarix are unsafe and the permits were granted without adequate research.
2013: The petition for the case was formally admitted by the judges on January 7, 2013. By September 2013, the court had issued notices to all participants involved while the Indian Parliament issued a scathing comment condemning all organizations involved in the so-called ’demonstration projects’ calling them a case of child abuse expressly carried out to create a market for the two companies – Merck and GlaxoSmithKline.
The Supreme Court issued notices to the Government of India and the Drugs Controller asking for their responses to the allegations in January 2013. By September, neither had bothered to file a reply.
2014: As a result of continued investigations regarding clinical trials involving HPV vaccines in India, additional allegations of unethical conduct were lodged against Merck. The allegations pertain to Merck’s recent trials of the new V503 HPV vaccine, a proposed nine valent HPV vaccine. The additional allegations of multiple ethics violations were added to the currently ongoing Supreme Court Case via an affidavit added as an addendum to the brief previously prepared regarding the ’demonstration projects’
According to a press release written by Kalpana Mehta, Nalini Bhanot and V. Rukmini Rao, there is documentary evidence that though PATH is a non-governmental organization (NGO), in this case it entered into a business agreement with Merck so Merck would have a ready market for HPV vaccines in resource poor countries. In fact PATH got funding for this purpose from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in the same month that Gardasil was licensed in the USA, June 2006.
12 August 2014: Supreme Court Judges Dipak Misra and V. Gopala Gowda sent notices to several respondents requesting further information as outlined above and set the petition for final hearing on October 28, 2014.

Will India be the first country in the world to revoke the marketing licenses for Gardasil and Cervarix?

Will the Supreme Court of India move to protect the health and welfare of their young citizens, or the interests of the HPV vaccine manufacturers?

Will PATH and similar agencies be banned from operating in India?

Will the victims of adverse reactions to HPV vaccines be located, treated and compensated for being forced to participate in a trial that violated their human rights?

Perhaps these questions will be answered on October 28^th.

The vaccine touted to prevent ‘cervical cancer’ has been a source of controversy since 2006. What are you going to decide for your child?

Gardasil® in the News

As parents get their children ready to go back to school or college this fall, they are going to be confronted with the quandary of how to navigate the ‘back to school checkup’ that includes vaccination. Some parents of females and males ages 9 to 26 will have a new question asked during their child’s annual check, “Would you like the Gardasil® vaccine today?” without accompanying information on the severe side effects, including death.

Gardasil® is not a mandated vaccine. YOU CAN OPT-OUT. 90% OF ALL HPV INFECTIONS WILL CLEAR THEMSELVES ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT INTERVENTION.¹^.

A 12-year-old Waukesha girl is dead — and there is seemingly no reason why — except perhaps, one.

Meredith Prohaska was an active, fun-loving 12-year-old girl one minute. A few hours later — she was unresponsive on the floor. In between that time, there was a trip to the doctor — and now, Prohaska’s family wonders if that’s what killed her…

Gardasil changed my whole life#Vaccines#HPV#iBelieve

August 19, 2014August 18, 2014 jlvranes Leave a comment

By Anika Hjorth from Fredericia, Denmark

I am the mother of three children, ages 1, 8 and 9. In addition to taking care of my home and family, I work as the sales coordinator for a local newspaper. I enjoy family outings and holidays. I used to run 20km at a time to stay physically fit. Gardasil changed all of this.

The quadrivalent HPV vaccine, Gardasil, was approved for use in Denmark in 2006. I had read a little on the internet about it, but did not find any reason why I should not take the vaccine. On many sites, Gardasil was looked at as a somewhat miraculous breakthrough in the prevention of cervical cancer.

March 26 2013. I got my first injection of the HPV-vaccine, Gardasil.

May 1st, 2013, I woke up during the night with extremely low blood pressure and a terrible pressure in the chest. I had difficulty breathing and the low blood pressure made me dizzy. My boyfriend called the doctor who only ordered me to stay calm and rest. He questioned whether my sphygmomanometer (blood pressure monitor) was working at all. I knew I bought it in 2012 and it was a very good quality instrument.

During the long period after, I had a lot of off days where my blood pressure was very low, my heart rate was high and I felt unwell in general.

For a long time I fought extremely low blood pressure. I felt so tired and exhausted. I was constantly nauseous, which I thought to be connected to the fact I was so tired and did not have any energy at all.

My doctor suggested eating liquorice – actually he was not very worried about my condition.

May 27, 2013 I had a similar attack as described above. Again I contacted my doctor and told him that something was wrong in my body but I could not explain what.

On May 29 we planned to travel down to the South of Europe for two weeks, but something told me it would never work out. My doctor decided to refer me to Fredericia Hospital. He wanted me to be tested for some rare heart diseases. The chief physician explained that travelling with this low blood pressure and the other symptoms I had would not be safe. Then a longer diagnosing period started including a lot of different tests.

June 13^th 2013 I got my second vaccination. Between the two vaccinations I had weak health but I did not think about any connection to the first vaccination, so I got the second.

On July 19. 2013 I got a call from the chief physician who informed me that everything was normal. The reason for my symptoms was that I was dreaming about an earlier course of disease in connection with the birth of my first daughter. That should be the reason for the hyperventilation and the low blood pressure. And the low blood pressure gave me the nausea. He could not explain the very strong pain I had in my legs.

On July 28, 2013 my boyfriend saw the front page of one of our tabloid newspapers. The headline was 422.000 have received the HPV-cancer-vaccination – doctors are worried about the side effects. In the article we read about the side effects and the damages the vaccine could cause to the body. When I read the symptoms, it was like reading a list of my own new medical conditions. In the next couple of days I realized that the vaccination could be the reason for my new disorders.

On August 15, 2013 I went to my doctor bringing the newspaper. He listened with interest and skepticism. He took the newspaper in order to read it thoroughly and thereafter gave me his judgment. He saw the similarities and suddenly all my symptoms made sense. My doctor understands me. He recognizes and accepts my new medical conditions as side effects of HPV vaccination.

On August 24, 2013 I was hospitalized again with difficulty breathing, chest pains and muscle spasms. I was met by skepticism at the hospital. As all blood tests and EKG did not show any signs of disease, they could only conclude that I did not feel well and as they said, ”We are so sorry.” The next day I was sent home. I stayed in bed for a week due to pain in my legs and chest.

Today June 30, 2014 my side effects are completely controlling my everyday life. They are as follows:

Extremely low blood pressure (measured as low as 70/43)
Constant nausea
Constant changing heart rate
Burning pain in the body
Constant heartburn
Pressure in the chest, difficulty breathing – often during the evening and into the night
Short of breath even during light exercise
Itching
Problems with short-term memory
Pain in the stomach
A lot of pain in the legs
A lot of pain the sole of my foot
Loss of strength in the muscles
Very painful periods including heavy bleeding
Visual disorders in the left eye
Pressure in the ears
Lack of B3, D vitamin and calcium

The symptoms are influencing my daily life as follows:

I cannot take care of the household
I have difficulty going to the first floor of our house
I need help very often to take care of our three children
I cannot arrange anything ahead as I do not know how my condition will be from one day to the next
On bad days I cannot drive our car
I can only work 30 hours a week
I cannot take care of the shopping
I cannot handle more than one thing at a time
I am only capable of a limited number of impressions a day
We are considering selling the house due to uncertainty of what the future holds
I am tied to the house. I cannot travel, do any trips or similar activities
I cannot run anymore – I used to run 20 km at a time
I am completely exhausted after 1.5 km walking with the baby carriage
I am dependent on others 24 hours a day

I wish Gardasil was like other medications. When you have an adverse reaction to a pill you are taking, you simply discontinue using it and the symptoms go away. It is not nearly as easy to fix a bad reaction to a vaccine.

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.

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.

Lead Developer Of HPV Vaccines Comes Clean, Warns Parents & Young Girls It’s All A Giant Deadly Scam#Vaccines#HPV#iBelieve

August 12, 2014August 12, 2014 jlvranes Leave a comment

Dr. Diane Harper was a leading expert responsible for the Phase II and Phase III safety and effectiveness studies which secured the approval of the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccines, Gardasil™ and Cervarix™. Dr. Harper also authored many of the published, scholarly papers about the vaccines. She is now the latest in a long string of experts who are pressing the red alert button on the devastating consequences and irrelevancy of these vaccines. Dr. Harper made her surprising confession at the 4th International Converence on Vaccination which took place in Reston, Virginia. Her speech, which was originally intended to promote the benefits of the vaccines, took a 180-degree turn when she chose instead to clean her conscience about the deadly vaccines so she “could sleep at night”.

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

August 2, 2014August 2, 2014 jlvranes Leave a comment

By Norma Erickson

June 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

July 23, 2014July 22, 2014 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.

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 🙂
