Protein and Calcium Interplay Important to Bone Health
11/12/2005
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
It’s no secret that the incidence of bone fractures increases among the elderly. Adding to that concern, some scientists theorize that high-protein diets may leach calcium from bone, itself leading to bone loss. Now scientists funded by the Agricultural Research Service have released a three-year study suggesting that bone mineral density (BMD) may actually benefit from high-protein diets--with one caveat. The high-protein diet must also meet the recommended dietary allowance of calcium and vitamin D.
The study’s design, which looked at 342 men and women older than 65, included prescreening the amount of calcium each consumed. Only those who did not normally consume high amounts of calcium were chosen. In addition, the study included only participants whose baseline BMD measurements proved average for those over 65.
The researchers supplemented half the participants with 500 milligrams (mg) of calcium and 700 International Units of vitamin D daily. The other half were given placebos. Halfway through the study, dietary intakes of protein, calcium, vitamin D and other nutrients were assessed using a self-administered, but staff-monitored, food-frequency questionnaire. The results showed the mean protein intake for all participants was 79 grams per day. For the calcium- and vitamin D-supplemented group, the mean daily calcium intake was 1,346 mg per day. For the placebo group, calcium intake was just 871 mg per day--well below the recommended 1,200 mgs daily for those over 50.
The participants were tested every six months--six times total--for BMD. The study, published in April’s "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition," showed that a high-protein diet had favorable effects on bone density in the calcium-supplemented group, but not in the unsupplemented group. This suggests that the calcium worked synergistically with the protein to mitigate bone loss. The researchers agree the report proves more research is needed in this area.

Flu Vaccine Not Working--CDC Admits. What Are Your Options?
11/12/2004
Yesterday the CDC finally admitted the obvious. The flu vaccine does not work. Over 83 million doses of vaccine were made and even the CDC states that the "protection" will not be the usual 70 percent to 90 percent, and some of their experts fear it is well below 50 percent. The CDC committee voted 17-1 to bring back last year's version. Now EVERY one of them are regretting their vote. Do you know who the sole dissenting vote was cast by? Barbara Fischer, who is the president, National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), served as the consumer voting member of the FDA Advisory Committee. The National Vaccine Information Center is a non-profit, educational organization founded in 1982 by parents whose children were injured or died from reactions to the DPT vaccine.
Flu vaccine only protects against the three specific viruses that are included in any given year's flu vaccine formulation and does not protect against throat, respiratory, gastrointestinal and ear infections caused by bacteria and other kinds of viruses. When the match between the vaccine and circulating viruses is close, the flu vaccine is thought to provide a 70 percent to 90 percent chance of temporary immunity to selected strains in healthy persons less than 65 years old. For those over 65 years old, the efficacy rate drops to 30 percent to 40 percent, although it is considered to be 50 percent to 60 percent effective in preventing hospitalization or pneumonia and 80 percent effective in preventing death from flu caused by the covered strains
Wouldn't it make more sense to build up one's immune system? That is the strategy that I personally use and encourage everyone else to follow as it is highly effective. But for those of us that succumb to the holiday temptations and consume far more junk food than is wise, thus weakening our immune system and making us susceptible to the flu, there are far more effective therapeutic strategies. I discussed these in my lead article in last Saturday's newsletter.
Yesterday I also received an e-mail from a newsletter subscriber that had written the CDC with my warnings about the flu vaccine and they were given the following information:
"Phenol and Thimerosal (mercury) are preservatives that kill off contaminants in the vaccine, and aluminum is added to some vaccines to improve the immune system's response to the antigen, which can be so small that our immune system would not even identify the foreign substance on its own. Aluminum is the most abundant element in the Earth's crust and is present in air, food, and water. Quantity in vaccines is roughly equal to infant formula. Thimerosal has been studied by the Institutes of Medicine, which was unable to link thimerosal to any adverse events or neurological damage."
To my understanding this is reprehensible misinformation as it seeks to provide a sense of reassurance that is in no way, shape or form justified. Do you want any of the following vaccine constituents in YOUR bloodstream?
Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
Phenol, also known as carbolic acid (this is used as a disinfectant, dye)
Formaldehyde, a known cancer-causing agent
Aluminum, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease and seizures and also cancer producing in laboratory mice (it is used as an additive to promote antibody response)
Thimerosal (a mercury disinfectant/preservative) can result in brain injury and autoimmune disease
Neomycin and Streptomycin (used as antibiotics) have caused allergic reaction in some people.
It is almost laughable, if it weren't seriously harming people, that the CDC could continue to state that thimerosal is not harmful when they issued a warning to remove it from vaccines over four years ago. And to describe aluminum as not harmful because it is abundant in the Earth and present in infant formula is malicious nonsense. The CDC implies that we should consider aluminum in our trace mineral supplements. But don't you find it curious that aluminum is so abundant in the earth but it has not yet been found to be useful for any biological systems?
So do yourself a favor and eat healthy, avoid the junk, sleep well, stay emotionally balanced and skip the flu shot and the flu all in one fell swoop.

Dangers of Aspartame
11/21/2004
Article written by Nancy Markle
I have spent several days lecturing at the World
Environmental Conference on "ASPARTAME marketed as 'NutraSweet'.
'Equal' and 'Spoonful'". In the keynote address by the EPA, they
announced that there was an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and
systemic lupus and they did not understand what toxin was causing
this to be rampant across the United States. I explained that I
was there to lecture on exactly that subject.
When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F., the
wood alcohol in Aspartame converts to formaldehyde and then to
formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis (formic acid
is the poison found in the sting of fire ants). The methanol
toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis; thus people were being
diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error. The multiple
sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is.
In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become
almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet
Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. Also, with methanol toxicity, the
victims usually drink three to four 12-oz. cans of them per day,
some even more. In the cases of systemic lupus, which is
triggered by Aspartame, the victim usually does not know that the
aspartame is the culprit. The victim continues its use
aggravating the lupus to such a degree, that sometimes it becomes
life threatening. When we get people off of the aspartame, those
with systemic lupus usually become asymptomatic. Unfortunately.
we cannot reverse this disease. On the other hand, in the case
of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (when in reality, the
disease is methanol toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear.
We have seen cases where their vision has returned and even their
hearing has returned. This also applies to cases of tinnitus.
During a lecture, I said, "if you are using Aspartame
(Nutrasweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from
fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your
legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint
pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred
vision, or memory loss - you probably have ASPARTAME DISEASE!"
People were jumping up during the lecture saying. "I've got
this, is it reversible?' It is rampant. Some of the speakers at
my lecture were suffering from these symptoms. In one lecture
attended by the Ambassador of Uganda, he told us that their sugar
industry is adding aspartame! He continued by saying that one of
the industry leader's sons could no longer walk - due in part by
product usage!
We have a very serious problem. A stranger came up to Dr.
Espisto (one of my speakers) and myself and said. "Could you tell
me why so many people seem to be coming down with MS?" During a
visit to a hospice, a nurse said that six of her friends, who
were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS.
This is beyond coincidence.
Here is the problem. There were Congressional hearings when
aspartame was included in 100 different products. Since this
initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, but to
no avail. Nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies
have very deep pockets. Now there are over 5,000 products
containing this chemical, and the PATENT HAS EXPIRED!
At the time of this first hearing, people were going blind.
The methanol is the aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the
retina of the eye. Formaldehyde is grouped in the same class as
cyanide and arsenic - deadly poisons! Unfortunately, it just
takes longer to quietly kill, but it is killing people and
causing all kinds of neurological problems.
Aspartame changes the brain's chemistry. It is the reason
for severe seizures. This drug changes the dopamine level in the
brain. Imagine what this drug does to patients suffering from
Parkinson's disease. This drug also causes birth defect.. There
is absolutely no reason to take this product. It is NOT A DIET
PRODUCT! The Congressional record said, "It makes you crave
carbohydrates and will make you FAT". Dr. Roberts stated that
when he got patients off of aspartame, their average weight loss
was 19 pounds per person. The formaldehyde stores in the fat
cells, particularly in the hips and thighs.
Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics. All
physicians know what wood alcohol will do to a diabetic. We find
that physicians believe that they have patients with retinopathy,
when in fact, it is caused by the aspartame. The aspartame keeps
the blood sugar level out of control, causing many patients to go
into a coma. Unfortunately, many have died. People were telling
us at the Conference of the American College of Physicians, that
they had a relative that switched from saccharin to an aspartame
product and how that relative had eventually gone into a coma.
Their physicians could not get the blood sugar levels under
control. Thus, the patients suffered acute memory loss and
eventually coma and death.
Memory loss is due to the fact that aspartic acid and
phenylalanine are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found
in protein. Thus it goes past the blood brain barrier and
deteriorates the neurons of the brain. Dr. Russell Blaylock,
neurosurgeon, said, "The ingredients stimulate the neurons of the
brain to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. Dr.
Blaylock has written a book entitled "EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE
THAT KILLS" (Health Press 1-800-643-2665).
Dr. H.J. Roberts, diabetic specialist and world expert on
aspartame poisoning, has also written a book entitled "DEFENSE
AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE" (1-800-814-9800). Dr. Roberts tells
how aspartame poisoning is escalating Alzheimer's Disease, and
indeed it is. As the hospice nurse told me, women are being
admitted at 30 years of age with Alzheimer's disease. Dr.
Blaylock and Dr. Roberts will be writing a position paper
with some case histories and will post it on the internet.
According to the Conference of the American College of
Physicians, "We are talking about a plague of neurological
diseases caused by this deadly poison".
Dr. Roberts realized what was happening when aspartame was
first marketed. He said his diabetic patients presented memory
loss, confusion, and severe vision loss. At the conference of
the American College of Physicians, doctors admitted that they
did not know. They had wondered why seizures were rampant (the
phenylalanine in aspartame breaks down the seizure threshold and
depletes serotonin, which causes manic depression, panic attacks,
rage and violence).
Just before the conference, I received a Fax from Norway,
asking for a possible antidote for this poison because they are
experiencing so many problems in their country. This "poison" is
now available in 90+ countries worldwide. Fortunately, we had
speakers and ambassadors at the conference from different nations
who had pledged their help. We ask that you help too. Print
this article out and warn everyone you know. Take anything that
contains aspartame back to the store. Take the "NO ASPARTAME
TEST" and send us your case history.
I assure you that MONSANT0, the creator of aspartame, knows
how deadly it is. They fund the American Diabetes Association,
American Dietetic Association, Congress, and the Conference of
the American College of Physicians. The New York Times, on
November 15, 1996, ran an article on how the American Dietetic
Association takes money from the food industry to endorse their
products. Therefore, they can not criticize any additives or
tell about their link to Monsanto.
How bad is this? We told a mother who had a child on
Nutrasweet to get off the product. The child was having grand
mal seizures every day. The mother called her physician, who
called the ADA, who told the doctor not to take the child off the
Nutrasweet. We are still trying to convince the mother that the
aspartame is causing the seizures. Every time we get someone off
of aspartame the seizures stop. If the baby dies, you know
whose fault it is, and what we are up against.
There are 92 documented symptoms of aspartame, from coma to
death. The majority of them are all neurological, because the
aspartame destroys the nervous system. Aspartame disease is
partially the cause to what is behind some of the mystery of the
Desert Storm health problems. The burning tongue and other
problems discussed in over 60 cases can be directly related to
the Consumption of an aspartame product. Several thousand
pallets of diet drinks were shipped to the Desert Storm troops
(remember heat can liberate the methanol from the aspartame at 86
degrees F.). Diet drinks sat in the 120 degree p. Arabian sun
for weeks at a time on pallets. The service men and women drank
them all day long. All of their symptoms are identical to
aspartame poisoning.
Dr. Roberts says "consuming aspartame at the time of
conception can cause birth defects". The phenylalanine
concentrates in the placenta, causing mental retardation,
according to Dr. Louis Elsa, pediatrician professor - genetics,
at Emory University in his testimony before Congress. In the
original lab tests, animals developed brain tumors (phenylalanine
breaks down into DXP, a brain tumor agent). When Dr. Espisto was
lecturing on aspartame, one physician in the audience, a
neurosurgeon, said, "when they remove brain tumors, they have
found high levels of aspartame in them".
Stevia, a sweet food, NOT AN ADDITIVE, which helps in the
metabolism of Sugar, which would be ideal for diabetics, has now
been approved as a dietary supplement of the F.D.A. For years.
the F.D.A. has outlawed this sweet food because of their loyalty
to Monsanto. If it says "SUGAR FREE" on the label - DO NOT EVEN
THINK ABOUT IT!
Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote a bill that would have
warned all infants, pregnant mothers and children of the dangers
of aspartame. The bill would have also instituted independent
studies on the problems existing in the population (seizures,
changes in brain chemistry, changes in neurological and
behavioral symptoms). It was killed by the powerful drug and
chemical lobbies, letting loose the hounds of disease and death
on an unsuspecting public. Since the Conference of the American
College of Physicians, we hope to have the help of some world
leaders. Again, please help us too. There are a lot of people
out there who must be warned. *PLEASE* let them know this
information.

Vaccines: Thimerosal and Formaldehyde
10/12/2005
(Excerpted from Investigate Before You Vaccinate: making an informed decision about vaccination in New Zealand, by Susan Claridge)
While the MoH claim that no scheduled childhood vaccines still contain thimerosal, the ?adult? Diphtheria-Tetanus vaccine which is administered at 11 years contains the controversial preservative, as does the Fluarix vaccine that is currently recommended (although not scheduled) for children six months of age and above. In addition, the adult hepatitis B vaccine (H-B-VAXII) also contains thimerosal.
Thimerosal, also known as thiomersal, is an ethyl mercury sodium salt (49% mercury); mercury is a heavy metal that is extremely toxic. Concerns about the toxicity of mercury in vaccines and links between thimerosal and a vast number of illnesses and disabilities, including neurotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, led to calls for thimerosal to be removed from childhood vaccines. It had already been banned by the US FDA in over-the-counter drug preparations because of questions over safety. In the past some babies have been exposed to cumulative levels of mercury that exceed US Environmental Protection Agency recommendations.
Various international agencies agreed in 1999 that thimerosal should be removed from vaccines although existing stocks of vaccines containing the preservative continued to be injected into babies and children. It was revealed in March 2002 that pharmaceutical company, Eli Lilly, knew as far back as 1930 that thimerosal was hazardous to people exposed to, or injected with, the compound.
Recent studies show that it inhibits phagocytes, one of the bodies most vital immune defenses in blood. Van?t Veen states that ?the ethylmercury radical of the thiomersal molecule appears to be the prominent sensitiser. The prevalence of thiomersal hypersensitivity in mostly selected populations varies up to 18%, but higher figures have been reported.? Mercury sensitivity, developed through repeated exposure from vaccines is one cause of serious reactions to vaccines.
High-dose exposure to mercury is known to cause catastrophic developmental effects. However, recent research has shown that even low dose exposure can cause developmental problems including impairments in attention, memory, learning, social behavior, and IQ. Bernard at al. write that ?exposure to mercury can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions similar to traits defining or associated with autism.? They conclude that a review of the medical literature suggests that ?many cases of idiopathic autism are induced by early mercury exposure from thimerosal.? It has also been linked to Alzheimer?s disease.
It is recognised that the individuals most sensitive to thimerosal toxicity are the developing foetus and infants. The danger is greatest when the brain is undergoing its most rapid devolpment (in utero and in infancy), yet the Medical Establishment still recommends that pregnant women and babies should be vaccinated with flu vaccines, all of which contain thimerosal. Research published in the Journal of Pediatrics showed that there was a significant increase in total mercury levels after vaccination in both pre-term and full term babies, but that pre-term infants had the highest post-vaccinal levels.
Mercury is a known developmental toxicant and is suspected to be a cardiovascular or blood toxicant, endocrine toxicant, gastrointestinal or liver toxicant, immunotoxicant, kidney toxicant, neurotoxicant, reproductive toxicant, respiratory toxicant, and skin or sense organ toxicant. It is more hazardous than most chemicals in eight out of nine ranking systems and it is ranked as one of the most hazardous compounds (worst 10%) to human health.
Formaldehyde is used to inactivate viruses and to detoxify bacterial toxins. It is used in most vaccines (except live-virus vaccines); it is also used to embalm corpses, among many other industrial, chemical and pharmaceutical uses. Formaldehyde is an extremely toxic compound and is known to cause cancer in humans and animals. Beall and Ulsamer found that exposure to formaldehyde through injection, inhalation or injestion caused liver toxicity and liver damage.
It is also a suspected gastrointestinal toxicant, immunotoxicant, neurotoxicant, reproductive toxicant, respiratory toxicant, and skin or sense organ toxicant. It is ranked as more hazardous than most chemicals in six out of twelve ranking systems, and is ranked as one of the most hazardous compounds (worst 10%) to human health.
In addition to the toxicity and carcinogenic nature of formaldehyde, there is the serious problem of its erratic efficacy in inactivating viruses, the purpose for which it is used in vaccine manufacture. It has been known since the 1930s that using formaldehyde for inactivating viruses has its dangers but it was the ?Cutter Incident? in 1955 that provided ample evidence of the method?s shortcomings. Cases of paralytic polio following vaccination with the Cutter vaccine led to the discovery that there was active live virus in the supposedly killed virus vaccine manufactured by Cutter.
This is not the only documented failure of formaldehyde to inactivate vaccine viruses. Brown reports that ?recent molecular evidence has now shown that formaldehyde-inactivated Venezuelan equine encephalitis vaccines were the probable cause of the outbreaks of the disease during the 1969-1972 pandemic in Central America.? Brown also discusses similar problems with the veterinary foot-and-mouth vaccine and states that almost all outbreaks in Western Europe in recent years have been caused by vaccines in which the virus was improperly inactivated. These vaccines, with one exception, were prepared with formaldehyde. Bahnemann concurs with Brown, saying that formaldehyde is not an ideal inactivant.
Brown concludes that it is ?remarkable that formaldehyde is still used for the preparation of inactivated vaccines, particularly since it is known that the procedure also affects the immunogenic epitopes of the viruses.?
This failure of formaldehye to inactivate viruses in vaccines has implications for the Medical Establishment?s vehement assertions that killed virus vaccines cannot cause the disease (viz the statement on the IMAC website that the fluarix vaccine, prepared using formaldehyde, cannot cause influenza despite anecdotal evidence that many vaccine recipients develop often severe flu symptoms within days of the vaccination). It is patently obvious that these ?facts? need to be reassessed by the medical and research communities.

Understanding Detox
11/15/2005
Exerpt from Detoxing by Dr. Stanley Bass:
During the initial stage (lasting about ten days on the average to several weeks in others depending on how toxic there system is and how well their body releases the toxins), the vital energies which are usually in the periphery or external part of the body such as the muscles and skin, begin to move to the vital internal organs and start reconstruction. This shunting of much of the power to the internal region produces a feeling of less energy in the muscles, which the mind interprets as some weakness.
Actually, the power is increased, but most of it is being used for rebuilding the more important organs and less of it is available for muscular work. Any weakness which is felt here is not true weakness, but merely a redeploying of forces to the more important internal parts. Here it is important for the person to stop wasting energy, and to rest and sleep more. This is a crucial phase, and if the person resorts to stimulants of any kind, he will abort and defeat the regenerative intent of the body.
Headaches may occur at the beginning; fever and/or colds may also appear; the skin may break out; there may be a short interval of bowel sluggishness, occasional diarrhea, sore joints, nausea feelings of tiredness and weakness, disinclination to exercise, nervousness, irritability, negativity or mental depression, frequent urination, etc. However, the great majority of people find their reactions tolerable and are encouraged to bear with them because of the many improvements which have already occurred and are becoming more evident with each day. This acts as an inspirational force to them.
The symptoms will vary according to the materials being discarded, the conditions of the organs involved in the elimination, and the amount of energy you have available. The more you rest and sleep when symptoms are present, the milder they are and the more quickly they are terminated.
Be happy you are having symptoms. Realize deeply that your body is becoming younger and healthier every day because you are throwing off more and more wastes which would eventually have brought pain, disease, and much suffering. Those who have the worst symptom-reactions and follow through to their successful termination are thus avoiding some of the worst diseases which would eventually have developed.
Don't expect to go on an ascending scale of quality, that improving your diet will make you feel better and better each day until you reach perfection. The body is cyclical in nature, and health returns in a series of gradually-diminishing cycles. For example, you start a better diet and for a while you feel much better. After some time, a symptom occurs--you feel nauseous for a day and have diarrhea with a foul-smelling stool. After a day, you feel even better than before and all goes fine for awhile. Then you suddenly develop a cold, feel chills and lose your appetite. After about two or three days (assuming you don't take drugs or do anything else about it), you suddenly recover and feel better than you did for years.
Let us say this well-being continues for two months, when you suddenly develop an itch or rash. You don't take anything special for it. This rash flares up, gets worse and continues for ten days, and suddenly subsides, immediately after this you find that your hepatitis is gone and your energy has increased more than ever before. The rash became an outlet for the poisons in the liver which produced the hepatitis.
This is how recovery occurs--like the cycles in the Dow-Jones Average at the beginning of a bull market recovery. You feel better, a reaction occurs and you don't feel as well for a short while. You recover and go even higher.
Then another reaction occurs, milder than the last. You recover and go even higher. And so it goes, each reaction milder than the last as the body becomes pure--each becoming shorter in duration and being followed by a longer period of feeling better than ever before, until you reach a level plateau of vibrant health. Here you become relatively disease-free.

The Truth Behind the Vaccine Coverup
10/17/2004
By Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.
I was asked to write a paper on some of the newer mechanisms of vaccine damage to the nervous system, but, in the interim, I came across an incredible document that should blow the lid off the coverup being engineered by the pharmaceutical companies in conjunction with powerful governmental agencies.
It all started when a friend of mine sent me a copy of a letter from Congressman David Weldon (R-Fla.), M.D. to the director of the CDC, Dr Julie L. Gerberding, in which he alludes to a study by a Dr. Thomas Verstraeten, then representing the CDC, on the connection between infant exposure to thimerosal-containing vaccines and neurodevelopmental injury.
In this shocking letter, Weldon refers to Dr. Verstraeten's study which looked at the data from the Vaccine Safety Datalink and found a significant correlation between thimerosal exposure via vaccines and several neurodevelopmental disorders including tics, speech and language delays and possibly to ADD. Weldon questioned the CDC director as to why, following this meeting, Dr. Verstraeten published his results, almost four years later, in the journal Pediatrics to show just the opposite. That is, there was no correlation to any neurodevelopmental problems related to thimerosal exposure in infants. In his letter, Weldon refers to a report of the minutes of this meeting held in Georgia, which exposes some incredible statements by the "experts" making up this study group.
The group's purpose was to evaluate and discuss Dr. Verstraeten's results and data and make recommendation that would eventually lead to possible alterations in the existing vaccine policy.
Pulling Teeth
I contacted Weldon's legislative assistant and he kindly sent me a complete copy of this report. Now, as usual in these cases, the government did not give up this report willingly. It required a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to pry it loose. Having read the report twice and carefully analyzing it, I can see why they did not want any outsiders to look at it. It is a bombshell, as you shall see.
In this analysis, I will not only describe and discuss this report, but also will frequently quote their words directly and supply the exact page number so others can see for themselves.
The official title of the meeting was the "Scientific Review of Vaccine Safety Datalink Information." This conference, held on June 7-8, 2000 at the Simpsonwood Retreat Center, Norcross, Ga., assembled 51 scientists and physicians of which five represented vaccine manufacturers (Smith Kline Beecham, Merck, Wyeth, North American Vaccine and Aventis Pasteur).
During this conference, these scientists focused on the study of the Datalink material, whose main author was Dr. Thomas Verstraesten who identified himself as working at the National Immunization Program of the CDC.
(It was discovered by Congressman Weldon that Dr. Verstraeten left the CDC shortly after this conference to work for GlaxoSmithKline in Belgium which manufacturers vaccines, a recurring pattern that has been given the name a "revolving door." It is also interesting to note that GlaxoSmithKline was involved in several lawsuits over complications secondary to their vaccines.) To start off the meeting Dr. Roger Bernier, Associate Director for Science in the National Immunization Program (CDC), related some pertinent history. He stated that congressional action in 1977 required that the FDA review mercury being used in drugs and biologics (vaccines). In meeting this order, the FDA called for information from the manufacturers of vaccines and drugs. He notes that a group of European regulators and manufacturers met on April 1999 and noted the situation but made no recommendations of changes.
In other words, it was all for show.
The Lid Blown Off
At this point, Dr. Bernier made an incredible statement (page 12). He said, "In the United States, there was a growing recognition that cumulative exposure may exceed some of the guidelines." By guidelines, he is referring to those for mercury exposure safety levels set by several regulatory agencies. The three guidelines were set by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), FDA and EPA. The most consistently violated safety guideline was that set by EPA. He further explains that he is referring to children being exposed to thimerosal in vaccines.
Based on this realization that they were violating safety guidelines he says, this then "resulted in a joint statement of the Public Health Service (PHS) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in July of last year (1999), which stated that as a long term goal, it was desirable to remove mercury from vaccines because it was a potentially preventable source of exposure." (Page 12) As an aside, one has to wonder, where was the Public Health Service and American Academy of Pediatrics during all the years of mercury use in vaccines and why didn't they know that:
They were exceeding regulatory safety levels.
Why weren't they aware of the extensive literature showing deleterious effects on the developing nervous system of babies?
As we shall see even these "experts" seem to be cloudy on the mercury literature.
An Earlier Meeting
Dr. Bernier notes that in August 1999, a public workshop was held in Bethesda, Md., at the Lister Auditorium by the National Vaccine Advisory Group and the Interagency Working Group on Vaccines to consider thimerosal risk in vaccine use. And based on what was discussed in that conference, thimerosal was removed from the hepatitis B vaccine (HepB).
It is interesting to note that the media took very little interest in what was learned at that meeting and it may have been a secret meeting as well. As we shall see, there is a reason why they struggle to keep the contents of all these meetings secret from the public.
Bernier then notes, on page 13, that in October 1999, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) "looked this situation over again and did not express a preference for any of the vaccines that were thimerosal free." In this discussion, he further notes the ACIP concluded that the thimerosal-containing vaccines could be used but the "long-term goal is to try to remove thimerosal as soon as possible."
Now, we need to stop and think about what has transpired here. We have an important group here -- the ACIP -- that essentially plays a role in vaccine policy that affects tens of millions of children every year. And, we have evidence from the thimerosal meeting in 1999 that the potential for serious injury to the infant's brain is so serious that a recommendation for removal becomes policy.
In addition, they are all fully aware that tiny babies are receiving mercury doses that exceed even EPA safety limits, yet all they can say is that we must "try to remove thimerosal as soon as possible?" Do they not worry about the tens of millions of babies that will continue receiving thimerosal-containing vaccines until they can get around to stopping the use of thimerosal?
The Obvious Solution
It should also be noted that it is a misnomer to say "removal of thimerosal" since they are not removing anything. They just plan to stop adding it to future vaccines once they use up existing stocks, which entails millions of doses. And, incredibly, the government allows them to do it.
Even more incredibly, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Practice similarly endorse this insane policy. In fact, they specifically state that children should continue to receive the thimerosal-containing vaccines until new thimerosal-free vaccines can be manufactured at the will of the manufacturers. Are they afraid that there will be a sudden diphtheria epidemic in America or tetanus epidemic?
The most obvious solution was to use only single-dose vials, which requires no preservative. So why don't they use them?
Oh, they exclaim, it would add to the cost of the vaccine. Of course, we are only talking about a few dollars per vaccine at most, certainly worth the health of your child's brain and future. They could use some of the hundreds of millions of dollars they waste on vaccine promotion every year to cover these costs for the poor. Then, that would cut into some "fat cat's" budget and we can't have that.
It was disclosed that thimerosal was in all influenza vaccines, DPT (and most DtaP) vaccines and all HepB vaccines.
As they begin to concentrate on the problem at hand we first begin to learn that the greatest problem with the meeting is that, they know virtually nothing about what they are doing. On page 15, for example, they admit that there is very little pharmacokinetic data on ethylmercury, the form of mercury in thimerosal. In fact, they say there is no data on excretion and the data on toxicity is sparse. Yet it is recognized to cause hypersensitivity, neurological problems and even death, and it is known to easily pass the blood-brain and placental barriers.
No Research?
Therefore, what they are admitting is that we have a form of mercury that has been used in vaccines since the 1930s and no one has bothered to study its effects on biological systems, especially the brain of infants. Their defense throughout this conference is "We just don't know the effects of ethylmercury." As a solution, they resort to studies on methylmercury, because there are thousands of studies on this form of mercury. The major source of this form is seafood consumption.
It takes them a while to get the two forms of mercury straight, since for several pages of the report they say methylmercury is in thimerosal rather than ethylmercury. They can be forgiven for this. On page 16, Dr. Johnson, an immunologist and pediatrician at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, notes that he would like to see the incorporation of wide margins of safety, that is 3 to 10-fold margins of safety to "account for data uncertainties." What he means: There are so many things we do not know about this toxin that we had better use very wide margins of safety. For most substances, the FDA uses a 100-fold margin of safety.
The reason for this, which they do not mention, is that in a society of hundreds of millions of people, there are groups of people who are much more sensitive to the toxin than others. For instance:
The elderly
Chronically ill
Nutritionally deficient
Small babies
Premature babies
People on certain medications
Inborn defects in detoxification
In fact, in this study they excluded premature babies and low birth weight babies from the main study, some of which had the highest mercury levels, because they would be hard to study and because they had the most developmental problems related to the mercury.
Who Are You?
On page 16, Dr. Johnson makes an incredible statement, one that defines the problem we have in this country with the promoters of these vaccines. "As an aside, we found a cultural difference between vaccinologist and environmental health people in that many of us in the vaccine arena have never thought about uncertainty factors before. We tend to be relatively concrete in our thinking."
Then he says, "One of the big cultural events in that meeting -- was when Dr. Clarkson repetitively pointed out to us that we just didn't get it about uncertainty, and he was actually quite right."
This is an incredible admission. First, what is a vaccinologist? Do you go to school to learn to be one? How many years of residency training are required to be a vaccinologist? Are there board exams? It's a stupid term used to describe people who are obsessed with vaccines, not that they actually study the effects of the vaccines, as we shall see throughout this meeting.
Most important is the admission by Dr. Johnson that he and his fellow "vaccinologists" are so blinded by their obsession with forcing vaccines on society that they never even considered that there might be factors involved that could greatly affect human health, the so-called "uncertainties."
Further, he and his fellow "vaccinologists" like to think in concrete terms. That is, they are very narrow in their thinking and wear blinders that prevent them from seeing the numerous problems occurring with large numbers of vaccination in infants and children. Their goal in life is to vaccinate as many people as possible with an ever-growing number of vaccines.
On page 17, his "concrete thinking" once again takes over. He refers to the Bethesda meeting on thimerosal safety issues and says, "There was no evidence of a problem, only a theoretical concern that young infants' developing brains were being exposed to an organomercurial." Of course, as I shall point out later, it is a lot more than a "theoretical concern."
He then continues by saying, "We agree that while there was no evidence of a problem the increasing number of vaccine injections given to infants was increasing the theoretical mercury exposure risk."
The Ultimate Irony
It's hard to conceive of a true scientist not seeing the incredible irony of these statements.
Medical literature is abound with studies on the deleterious effects of mercury on numerous enzymes, mitochondrial energy production, synaptic function, dendritic retraction, neurotubule dissolution and excitotoxicity. Yet, he sees only a "theoretical risk" associated with an ever increasing addition of thimerosal-containing vaccines. It is also important to note that these geniuses never even saw a problem in the first place. It was pressure from outside scientists, parents of affected children and groups representing them that pointed out the problem. They were, in essence, reacting to pressure from outside the "vaccinologist club" and not discovering internally that a problem "might" exist.
In fact, if these outside groups had not become involved, these "vaccinologists" would have continued to add more and more mercury-containing vaccines to the list of required vaccines. Only when the problem became so obvious -- that is of epidemic proportion (close to that now) and the legal profession became involved -- would they have even noticed there was a problem. This is a recurring theme in the government's regulatory agencies, as witnessed with fluoride, aspartame, MSG, dioxin and pesticides issues.
It is also interesting that Dr. Johnson did admit that the greatest risk was among low birth weight infants and premature infants. Now why would that be if there existed such a large margin of safety with mercury used in vaccines? Could just a few pounds of body weight make such a dramatic difference?
In fact, it does but it also means that normal birth weight children, especially those near the low range of normal birth weight, are also in greater danger. It also would mean that children receiving doses of mercury higher than the 72 ug in this study would be at high risk as well because their dose, based on body weight, would be comparable to that of the low birth weight child receiving the lower dose.
This was never even considered by these "vaccinologist experts" who decide policy for your children.

Why is Protein So Important?
Our body’s ability to function relies on proteins. There are an estimated 100,000 proteins in our bodies that repair cells, make cells, keep our immune system functioning, make blood components, hormones, liver functions, brain functions, and our bodies natural ability to fight and recover from disease, most everything our body does relies on protein.
Protein and Essential Amino Acids
Amino acids are the building block of proteins. All the proteins in our bodies are made up of twenty different amino acids, eleven of which are essential amino acids (EAAs), those that must be obtained from the diet. Each protein is a long string of essential and nonessential amino acids. All but one of the many individual proteins we have studied are 40%-60% EAA in their composition. THE ONLY WAY TO GET ADEQUATE AMOUNTS OF EAAs IS FROM DIET. If you are deficient in even one EAA these proteins will not function properly. Blood proteins that help in detox are mutated and lose their abilities to remove toxins allowing the toxins to re-enter the body. Hormone production is affected, cells can not be repaired or made, blood sugar is not controlled and our body's immune system is seriously compromised, making it difficult to fight disease, viruses and flu.
O.K. So? You eat well, right?
Enzymes and the Pancreas
Our pancreas is the number one over worked and stressed organ in our bodies. Pollution affects it, stress affects it, disease and injury affects it and lack of protein affects it. When our pancreas is under any duress it’s ability to produce enzymes for digestion is hampered. When this happens our natural digestive enzyme production is effected and we can not break down our foods into EAAs. Without EAAs we become protein deficient.
So, just take enzymes to help with digestion, right?. Wrong! Enzymes are proteins that are made and used up very quickly by the body, The body makes around twenty-two different digestive enzymes and chooses which of these to make according to the foods eaten. If you are taking digestive enzymes from a bottle you are essentially just hoping those are the ones you will need, and you are hoping they are of the correct strength. If the digestive system is not protein deficient it can make whatever digestive enzymes are needed on demand and they will be custom made to order, in strength and quantity.
Your Bodies Ability to Make Its Own Enzymes By introducing into the digestive system a balanced blend of free-form, pharmaceutical-quality essential amino acids before meals, our clinical studies show that the pancreas starts functioning properly, producing adequate digestive enzymes. Free form EAAs are essentially pre-digested allowing your pancreas to use these valuable elements immediately, in essence, jump starting the body and preparing it to produce the enzymes necessary to break down your foods into more EAAs.
Immune System, Antioxidants, & Detox When your body is getting all the EAAs it needs,it will be able to heal, maintain normal function, detox, and most importantly fight disease, remove viruses and help build your immune system in its ability to fight the flu.
