When mothers link the newly seen health problems in their children with certain new incidents in their lives this is evidence which should not be ignored by a Medical Professional who may have seen the child for just a few minutes of its life.
But this is what is happening in the UK today and some parents are so frightened for the health of their children that they are prepared to travel abroad to avoid the multiple vaccinations which the medical profession have proclaimed as safe.
Vaccinations such as the MMR vaccine intended to protect the child from
measles, mumps and rubella (commonly known as German Measles) have been
linked to the onset of Crohn's Disease and even to Autism.
The medical profession denies such links but they regulate their own
work and their own decisions.
There may be an as yet unrecognised link between the presence of the
immune disrupting pesticides in the child's body and the failure of
the immune system to deal properly with the vaccine.
It is interesting to note that many of the reported adverse effects
from the vaccine follow the second "booster" injections which indicates
that the first vaccination failed to obtain the correct response.
Recently an 18 month old child suffered with what was believed to be
Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) about 2 weeks after vaccination.
The doctors at first apparently denied any connection with the vaccine
but the mother searched the internet and found out more about the
disease.
Now it seems the doctor is not so sure - but will it be reported
as an adverse reaction to the vaccine?
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is a bleeding disorder resulting
from a shortage of platelets in the blood which is why the child
developed an apparent "bruising" under the skin.
There is a small risk of brain haemorrhage with associated headaches
and dizziness.
The disease may also cause damage to the kidneys, brain and spinal
cord and it results from the abnormal production of antibodies in
the lymph nodes and spleen which destroy the platelets in the blood.
The cause of this immune disorder is unknown but is believed to be a
complication of a viral infection because many people develop ITP
after recovering from a minor viral illness, after exposure to
radiation, or as a reaction to severe fever or some drugs.
It is a relatively rare disease affecting more women than men.
The symptoms can be skin bruising, purpura, recurrent nosebleeds,
bleeding gums, gastrointestinal bleeding, and a rash which bleeds.
Treatment in adults generally includes the use of steroids but in
children the illness may not require any treatment but if the patient
fails to respond to treatment the spleen may have to be removed and
chemotherapy may be required.
Such complications may have serious effects on the child's life.
Meningitis is becoming more common in the young and there is also now a
vaccine programme to counter this threat.
Unfortunately the vaccines available do not protect against all the
strains now at large and so a child vaccinated by one type may well
die as the result of infection by another more virulent strain.
Despite this the march towards mass vaccination continues apace and yet
we still read reports that the vaccine itself has caused deaths
amongst the young as the result of serious adverse reactions.
Parents are offered advice that the risk from the disease is far
greater than the possible risk of the vaccine but is this really true?
Measles was always a common disease and parents hoped that their
children would catch the disease when they were young so that they
would have immunity for the rest of their lives.
In fact it is recognised that infants under 8 months old are rarely
infected because of the immunity imparted to them by their mothers.
The complications of measles are rare and the disease was once very
common throughout the world but the greatest risk is to children with
an impaired immune system - or perhaps an immune system which is not yet
fully functional and is already busy fighting another disease?
In such cases death can follow infection and some million deaths still
occur annually across the world - but mostly in malnourished children
whose immune systems are already compromised.
The measles vaccine does not always provide complete protection against
infection but it does reduce the severity of the symptoms should a
later infection arise.
Mumps is another disease of childhood for which serious complications
are uncommon. Again this was a disease which parents hoped their
children would get when they were young so as to avoid the known
complications which could arise if the disease is caught in later life.
Teenage boys and adult males are at some risk because infection can very
rarely result in infertility.
An occasional result of the infection is meningitis but recovery from
this form is usually quick with no long-term effects.
Rubella is a viral infection which causes a trivial illness in both
children and adults but the danger is to the fetus if a woman is
affected in the early months of pregnancy.
If the virus affects the unborn child serious complications can result,
known as rubella syndrome, if miscarriage does not occur.
The virus may cause the child to be born deaf, with heart disease, brain
damage, visual defects or bone disorders and about one fifth may die in
infancy. The children that live may remain infective for about a year.
Adult women who are vaccinated must avoid pregnancy for about three
months but pregnant women may apparently be vaccinated and there may be
treatment available to prevent damage to the unborn child.
There is apparently no risk to the unborn child of a woman who has had
rubella in the past because her immune system will protect the foetus.
This is why the Rubella vaccine was introduced for school girls of
child bearing age, usually between the ages of 10 and 14 years.
The combined Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine was introduced in the
UK in 1988 after trials in countries such as the USA, and it is now
routinely offered to all children at about 15 months of age.
"Offered" is perhaps the wrong word since incentive payments are
reportedly paid to Doctors who are able to "persuade" at least 95% of
the families in their care to have their children vaccinated.
Reports suggest that families who refuse have often found themselves
struck of the Doctor's register. Quite an incentive to comply?
Clearly there is a danger to children with compromised immune systems since advice is that the vaccine should not be administered to children suffering from cancer, or allergic reactions, who are being treated with immunosuppressant drugs, or high dose steroids.
We therefore have a combined vaccine given to all children when their
immune systems are not fully functional for what were common diseases
with rare side effects. The side effects of the vaccine are admitted
to be fever, rash and malaise some 5 - 10 days after injection with
about one percent of children also developing selling of the glands
just as occurs in mumps.
The Measles vaccine is admitted to be not entirely effective.
The Mumps vaccine is only a requirement to prevent possible, but not
certain, damage to males in later life.
The Rubella vaccine is only required later in a girl's life to protect
any unborn children she might wish to carry full term.
The Meningitis vaccine does not fully protect the child either.
The Hippocratic Oath declares that it is the Doctor's duty to work for the good of the patients and to do no harm, whether by deliberate intent or by administration of drugs or by giving advice which might cause death.
The Doctor's dilemma is that he dare not advise against immunization
because there is a remote risk that harm may ensue but he faces the same
problem should he advise the use of the MMR vaccine against the
parent's wishes since the vaccine itself can cause harm.
Concerns are now being raised about deaths which may be due to the
meningitis vaccine and parents have even caught polio as the result of
the use of the live polio vaccine which leaves nappies infectious.
There are obvious direct risks which result from the vaccines but there
are other considerations.
In the modern world children are exposed to high levels of immune suppressing chemicals, from the pesticide residues in food, to perfumes and antibacterial agents and from the pollutants released by industry and transport. The fast food diets of many are admitted to provide poor nutrition for many children and it is known that poor nutrition can result in a damaged immune system.
Pesticides too can weaken the immune system and we know that these are often added to the food we eat. Some years ago scientists called for the immediate ban of many commonly used pesticides regularly found as residues in children's food because of the potential risk to health. The child's body is developing rapidly and with an improperly formed immune system and a greater intake of dangerous chemicals due to the comparatively low body weight the dangers to the young are obvious.
We know that vaccines should not be administered to such children but this is exactly what is happening and yet we are repeatedly assured that the practice is safe.
There is a sinister hidden risk which has so far not been examined and this involves the way in which vaccines are produced. Evidence is coming to light which indicates that material derived from dead cattle is used in the vaccine production process.
It is recognised that the risk of transmission of diseases such as BSE
and new variant CJD are many times greater through injected material
than it is via the food we eat.
Despite this the UK Agricultural Industry wrongly took the blame for
BSE and the crisis lost the UK economy billions of pounds.
We must ask then why the material taken randomly from the dead bodies of cattle which was intended for use in injections for cattle and humans alike was not destroyed but apparently remained in use for years after the same type of material was banned in the food chain?
Scientists tell us that the incubation period for such diseases can be
decades and yet they were happy to continue to allow the use of the
very "infected" material which they knew could cause CJD when injected.
This had been demonstrated to deadly effect when hormonal treatments
produced from the glands of dead humans had been injected into children
who had retarded growth rates. This was known at the time of the BSE
crisis and yet the risk from injected products produced from parts
taken from the bodies of dead cattle was completely ignored then - and
is rarely even mentioned in official circles to this day.
More recently concerns have been expressed about the suspected links
between the polio vaccines and the introduction of AIDS into the human
population.
It would seem that Scientists now suggest that material taken from
chimpanzees and used to produce vaccines may have been contaminated
and that the AIDS virus was introduced into humans with the vaccine.
If this is the case it offers further evidence that such practices are
extremely dangerous and yet science seems determined to continue in the
efforts to obtain materials from animals to treat humans.
We must ask why these experiments are being carried out on children who have no way to protect themselves?
Similar problems are found in other areas such as the treatment of
head lice.
These small creatures have always been regarded as a
serious problem in school children and there was a time when parents
feared the discovery of the little pests by the school "Nit Nurse".
Those days have long gone and parents regularly complain that no sooner
have they treated their children than they return from school
re-infested.
As with the once dreaded verruca children were excluded from activities
until the problem was resolved. Drugs came to cure the verruca and now
they can be spread freely, seemingly with little concern. Similarly
"Lotions" could rid the child of head lice and the schools relied upon
the parents to keep controlling the infestations at home.
Those "lotions" often contain pesticides and some of those are the
deadly Organophosphate poisons which parents repeatedly apply to their
children's hair.
Applications of systemic OPs to the skin has the same effect as
injecting them into the blood stream.
These are cumulative poisons so each time they are used the amount of
irreversible damage caused to the child, and its immune system,
increases.
A hospital in the UK decided to run trials using children in order to study the possible resistance of the head lice to the lotions used. The Hospital knew the dangers from the chemicals because the trial was reportedly run with the involvement of a specialist poisons unit but the children could not have known the dangers or given their informed consent to accept the risks to which their health was being put by those responsible for their care.
The hospital which controls that same poisons unit has itself been reported as being involved in the promotion of genetically modified crops designed to give doses of vaccines to anyone who eats the food produced from them, whether or not they need or wish to be given that vaccine. The latest idea involves apples which we are constantly told we should feed more of to our children. This is an abuse of all of our human rights but it is an experiment from which we will have no means of escape because we will not know which foods have been modified, just as we now have no knowledge of which drugs we give to our children or ourselves have been produced by Genetic Engineering technology.
It would appear that the vaccine programme is also an experiment performed on the children without their knowledge or consent.
Experimentation without consent is an affront to the Human Rights of the child.
Since this first appeared on the web the controversy over vaccines and the
MMR vaccine in particular has continued. The UK government stands firm
in its belief that the MMR vaccine is "safe" and seems determined to use
scare tactics on the parents in order to convince them that their policy
of refusing the single vaccines is the right one. However news from around
the world is not as reassuring as parents might hope and there have been
admitted concerns over the mercury based preservatives used in some vaccines.
It should be noted that the authorities assure us that the MMR vaccine does
not contain that preservative.
A very good source of information can be found in the Publication "WAVES"
which issues Warnings About Vaccine ExpectationS. It is the magazine of
the Immunization Awareness Society based in Aukland, New Zealand and they
have a web site http://www.ias.org.nz
Meanwhile Government and the industry are seemingly determined to use
vaccination for an ever lengthening list of ailments as if such treatments
will give life-long immunity when in many cases it may even increase
susceptibility to illness. This is especially a concern in young children
whose immature immune system is already susceptible to disease and may be
weakened by both environmental toxins and the vaccination programme
