Here is my response to them................

My response & articles to support...

They cry for hours because of the vaccine-induced

encephalitis - the varying degrees of the encephalitis

range from:

1. irritability OR somnolence (difficulty waking)

2. intractable crying

3. seizures

4. hyperactivity

5. ADD/ADHD

6. autism

7. death (SIDS & other)

And anything else in between - its because of the

inflammation of their little brains.

The Mechanism of Encephalitic Damage from Vaccines One

of the keys to understanding what is happening is to

understand that the myelin sheath, the fatty protective

coating around the nerves, spreads through the nervous

system in developmental stages. The myelin sheath, in

some nerves, does not even begin to grow until the child

is at least eight months old. In fact, the growth of the

insulating sheath proceeds at different rates in

different areas in the nervous system for the first 15

years of life. In some areas, growth of myelin continues

until the mid 40's. What does this mean? When cultural

vaccination programs initiate neurotoxic processes in

early childhood, it severely affects the development of

the nervous system by impacting growth of the nervous

system. This immortal fact is being deliberately

ignored, and maintenance of ignorance on the part of the

population is the only reason they are getting away with

this.

Myelination processes begin in the phylogenetically

older parts of the brain, such as the brain stem, and

then moves to the areas of the nervous system that have

developed recently in humans. Obviously, the cerebral

hemispheres and the cerebral cortex are the last to be

protected. The sheath is necessary for the development

of the nerves, so when the cultural vaccination programs

inject harmful toxins into a newborn infant or children,

the myelination process is interrupted to one degree or

another and MBD (minimum brain damage) occurs. In 1947,

Isaac Karlin suggested that stuttering was caused by

" delay in the myelinization of the cortical areas in the

brain concerned with speech. " In 1988, research by

Dietrich and others using MRI imaging of the brains of

infants and children from four days old to 36 months of

age have found that those who were developmentally

delayed had immature patterns of myelination.

It has also been found that impairment of these

processes can alter neural communication without

necessarily causing severe CNS damage. So, these facts

have been satisfactorily proven by science, but ignored

and suppressed by mainstream medical establishment.

Babies and children pay the price, and society pays the

price when these individuals grow up and begin to

exhibit aberrant behavior, affecting social structure,

increasing crime and necessitating more authoritarian

social control mechanisms. We can see that the

assocition between post-encephalitic syndrome and either

demyelination or incomplete myelination of the brain is

pretty straight forward. In might be mentioned at this

point that polio, or poliomyelitis, involves a breakdown

of the myelin shealth, which causes paralysis. We also

know that encephalitis, whether caused through disease

or as a result of vaccination, can cause demyelination

of the nerves, and that this has been known since the

1920's. SInce the developmental neurobiology of the

human brain has not changed, but the AMA statement has,

we can only conclude that they are deliberately and

knowingly perpetrating brain damage on the population.

If so, why? For the answer to that, consult more of the

menu choices on the main vaccine page.

The exact role of the allergic reaction in encephalitis

was not completely understood until about 1935, with the

discovery by Rivers of the phenomenon known as

" experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, " or (EAE). Up

until 1935, it was assumed that encephalitis was caused

by some viral or bacterial infection of the nervous

system, and a search began in the 1920's for some

organism that might cause the problem. Rivers was able

to produce brain inflammation in laboratory monkeys by

injecting them repeatedly with extracts of sterile

normal rabbit brain and spinal cord material, and this

made it quite apparent that encephalitis was an allergic

reaction. This explains the association of allergies and

autoimmune states with prior cases of encephalitis.

In 1922, the smallpox vaccination program caused an

outbreak of encephalitis, with a secondary result of

Guillain-Barre Syndrome, an ascending paralysis ending

in death. For some reason, the fact that the

vaccinations were directly connected was hidden from the

public until 1942. In 1953 it was realized that some of

the epidemic children's seases, > measles in particular,

were demonstrating an increased propensity to attack the

central nervous system. This indicated a growing

allergic reaction in the population to both the diseases

and the vaccinations for the diseases. In 1978, British

researcher Bannister observed that the

demyelinating diseases were getting more serious

" because of some abnormal process of sensitization of

the nervous system. " I submit that the process of

increased sensitivity was a normal occurance - it could

only be seen as abnormal if the connection between the

vaccines and the sensitization process, which by then

should have been obvious with the research conducted,

was deliberately ignored. The fact of the matter is that

it is a matter of record that it was known that

vaccinations produced encephalitis since 1926. The

sensitization of the population was being enhanced by

vaccination programs. Someone had to know, since the

connection was a matter of record.

*******************

My response...

The encephalitis we are talking about here is NOT an

infection from a virus or bacteria, but INFLAMMATION of

the BRAIN due to allergic reaction - that is what

encephalitis means.

Measles, the disease, can induce encephalitis. MMR the

vaccine can induce encephalitis. What is the

risk/benefit ratio here? Are we causing more

encephalitis with the vaccine than we are at risk for

with the disease.

With the disease they estimate 1:1000 will develop

encephalitis. If children are having encephalitis from

the vaccine at a greater rate than 1 per 1000 then there

we are not doing ourselves any favors.

Excerpts from two articles regarding MMR/Encephalitis:

The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)

March 26, 1973

Vol. 223 , No. 13 , pages 1459-1462

Neurological Disorders Following Live Measles-Virus

Vaccination

Philip J. Landigan, MD, J. Witte, MD

From 1963 through 1971, eighty-four cases of

nuerological disorders with onset less than 30 days

after live measles-virus vaccination were

reported in the United States. Thirteen could be

adquately accounted for by causes other than vaccine,

and another 11 were uncomplicated febrile convulsions

probably related to vaccination. One case

met diagnostic criteria for subacute sclerosing

panencephalitis. The remaining

59 showed clinical features of encephalitis or

encephalopathy.

Causes of these cases could not be established, but 45

(76%) had onset between 6 and 15 days after vaccination;

this clustering suggests that some may have been

caused by vaccine. From 1963 through 1971, 50.9

million doses of measles vaccine were distributed , and

, therefore, incidence of the reported neurological

disorders was 1.16 per million doses.

Risk of encephalitis following measles infection is one

per thousand cases.

The Lancet, September 17, 1983, pages 683-684,

lin White

Measles Vaccine Associated Encephalitis in Canada

Sir-Dr Berlin (June 18, p 1380) notes that the true

frequency of convulsions after measles vaccine has not

been yet determined, and asks for studies of the

temporal association between vaccination and

convulsions to offset a possible negative impact on

this aspect of childhood immunisation programmes. The

underlying concern appears to be that convulsions may

indicate encephalitis, which could result in brain

damage.

Acute encephalopathy followed by permanent brain injury

or death associated with further attenuated measles

vaccines: a review of claims submitted to the National

Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Weibel RE, Caserta V, Benor DE, G

Division of Vaccine Injury Compensation, National

Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, Health Resources

and Services Administration, Public Health Service,

Rockville, land 20857, USA.

OBJECTIVE: To determine if there is evidence for a

causal relationship between acute encephalopathy

followed by permanent brain injury or death associated

with the administration of further attenuated measles

vaccines (Attenuvax or Lirugen, Hoechst n Roussel,

Kansas City, MO), mumps vaccine (Mumpsvax, Merck and Co,

Inc, West Point, PA), or rubella vaccines (Meruvax or

Meruvax II, Merck and Co, Inc, West Point, PA), combined

measles and rubella vaccine (M-R-Vax or M-R-Vax II,

Merck and Co, Inc, West Point, PA), or combined measles,

mumps, and rubella vaccine (M-M-R or M-M-R II, Merck and

Co, Inc, West Point, PA), the lead author reviewed

claims submitted to the National Vaccine Injury

Compensation Program.

METHODS: The medical records of children who met the

inclusion criteria of receiving the first dose of these

vaccines between 1970 and 1993 and who developed such an

encephalopathy with no determined cause within 15 days

were identified and analyzed.

RESULTS: A total of 48 children, ages 10 to 49 months,

met the inclusion criteria after receiving measles

vaccine, alone or in combination. Eight children died,

and the remainder had mental regression and retardation,

chronic seizures, motor and sensory deficits, and

movement disorders. The onset of neurologic signs or

symptoms occurred with a nonrandom, statistically

significant distribution of cases on days 8 and 9. No

cases were identified after the administration of

monovalent mumps or rubella vaccine.

CONCLUSIONS: This clustering suggests that a causal

relationship between measles vaccine and encephalopathy

may exist as a rare complication of measles

immunization.

MMR & Encephalitis

Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) Vaccine as a Potential Cause

of Encephalitis (Brain Inflammation) in Children

MARCH 9, 1998 ISSUE #39B by Harold E. Buttram, MD

Townsend Letters Dec. 1997 Childhood autism is the

result of encephalitis affecting primarily the limbic

system of the brain, located below the cerebral cortex.

A relatively few number of cases are due to genetic

causes, but officially the great majority are of unknown

causes.

Bernard Rimland, PhD, founding director of the Autism

Research Institute, estimates that there are now a

minimum of 250,000 autistic children in America, a 10 to

15-fold increase in the past 50 or so years. Dr.

Rimland, internationally recognized as a leading expert

in the field of autism, has publically stated that he

believes current childhood vaccine programs are one of

the major causes for the current epidemic of autism.1

The US Committee on Children, Youth, and Families has

estimated there are now 7.5 million American children

with developmental delay compared with 4.8 million in

1991. Of these, 30% are thought to be autistic or have

autistic tendencies .2 It is true that statistics are

subject to question, but the real scope of the problem

can be gained by talking with veteran elementary school

teachers, and I have talked with many of them. Without

exception in my experience, they emphatically confirm

that there has been a dramatic and widespread increase

among school children in learning and behavioral

disorders attention deficit and hyperactivity, and

children requiring special education. These changes

appear most notable since the 1970's. Dawbarns Law Firm

of England has published a paper in which they report on

over 600 instances of side effects following the MMR and

MR vaccines, which were introduced in England in 1988.3

These include 202 cases of autism, 97 of epilepsy, 40

with hearing and vision problems, and 41 with 100

behavioral and learning problems, the latter in older

children. Although British health officials deny a

relationship of these conditions with the vaccines,

Dawbarns has accounts of over 200 parents who believe

that their children were normal before they were

vaccinated, and who can point to nothing (other than the

vaccine) which could account for the deterioration in

their children's conditions.

The Physician's Desk Reference, in its section on the

MMR vaccine, states that complications from MMR, such as

encephalitis and optic neuritis, occur " very rarely. "

This is the conventional view, sincerely held by a

majority of doctors, but where does the truth lie? Could

it be that adverse consequences to MMR vaccine are

occurring on a larger scale than officially recognized?

Hypothetical model for MMR vaccine as a cause of

encephalitis Nerve cells of the brain function by

conducting nerve impulses, Much like electrical wiring,

these cells require insulation to function normally.

This insulation is provided by myelin sheaths, made up

largely of fatty material. For the most part myelination

of nerve cells of the brain does not commence until

after birth. Most is laid down during the first 5 years

of normal development. It is now generally thought that

the process of encephalitis, whether from wild viruses

of live-virus vaccines, is associated with an

interference with the myelination process brought about

by the development of antibodies against myelin basic

protein, a constituent of the myelin sheaths .4

In theory there are several mechanisms whereby the MMR

vaccine could have increased potency to induce harmful

autoantibodies (antibodies which attack the body's own

tissues and organs, including the myelin sheathes), once

injected into the human system. First and perhaps

foremost, MMR is incubated in chick embryo culture

medium, which necessarily includes precursors of all the

organ systems of the chick, including myelin basic

protein. Merck Pharmaceuticals, which produces MMR

vaccine, claims that all traces of the chick embryo are

removed before the vaccine is released for use. This may

be true, but it is probably irrelevant as it does not

take into account the process of mobile genetic

elements, more commonly referred to as " jumping genes. "

Viruses being made up entirely of genetic material, they

are highly susceptible to this process. It has been

shown that viruses are genetically changed by accepting

genetic material from cell cultures.

The genetic imprint of the chick myelin basic protein,

which is foreign to the human system because of its

chick origin, may be programmed to induce antibodies

against human myelin basic protein, once injected into

the human system. This in turn, potentially resulting in

encephalitis. The second theoretical reason is that the

MMR vaccine is injected by needle directly into the

system. This differs, from the natural infections which

are " cushioned " or buffered by the mucosal immune system

(Secretary IgA) of the respiratory tract. By passing

this mucosal immune system, the injection may carry

greater potency for harmful autoantibody formation.

Third, measles virus carries protein similar to those

found in myelin sheaths 6 so that antibodies induced by

the measles vaccine may cross-react harmfully with

myelin.

Carrying this line of thought further, in 1993 Vijendra

Singh, PhD University of Illinois, published a study in

which they found antibodies to myelin basic protein in

50 to 60% of autistic children tested.4 Recently at a

public meeting Dr. Singh presented information on an

unpublished, preliminary study of 27 autistic children

in which he found nearly 50% correlation between MMR

antibodies and antibodies to myelin basic protein in

serum drawn from the children.7 Dr. Singh emphasized

that this study was very preliminary and that no

conclusions could be drawn from it. However, it does

raise a higher index of suspicion that the MMR vaccine

may result in encephalitis and its various complications

on a fairly large scale. Once again, this leads us to

question whether or not many vaccine reactions are

passing unrecognized and therefore unreported by the US

medical community.

Reasons for under-reporting of adverse vaccine reactions

in the USA As reported in the Journal of the American

Medical Association in 1990, there is a general malaise

among American physicians in reporting adverse drug (and

vaccine) reactions;.8 ,9 Based on this report, the

present voluntary reporting system appears to have

resulted in very low levels of adverse reaction reports.

The original screening studies for measles, mumps, and

rubella vaccine were limited to short periods of time

such as 6 weeks observation for adverse affects. This

limited time did not take into account the possibility

of delayed reactions, which may outnumber those

occurring within the 6 or so week period. In the case of

cancer, we know there may be periods of years between

the original body insult and onset of cancer. In the

case of the vaccines, it is possible that slow and

subclinical process of encephalitis may be initiated

which may not manifest until much later an therefore

remain unrecognized as having been caused by the MMR

vaccine.

It is possible that MMR vaccine reactions are now

occurring on a much larger scale than they did in the

original screening studies, because many children today

are second generation vaccinees; that is, they are born

mothers previously vaccinated with MMR. The mothers

having been vaccinated with genetically contaminated

MMR, as previous described, the children may have

heightened susceptibility to adverse reactions when

rechallenged with the vaccine.10 Further confirmation

of this concept is found in a recent report from Japan

where it was demonstrated that live virus from measles

vaccine do persist in mononuclear cells of the body in

children with autoimmune hepatitis.16 Doctors, having

been conditioned by the rarity of adverse reactions in

the original screening studies, are generally inclined

to dismiss these reactions as due to other causes.

The decline of childhood diseases before vaccination

There is a generally held concept that mass vaccine

programs were largely responsible for control of former

epidemic diseases, but with the probable exception of

the polio vaccine, in most instances this was not the

case. From 1911 to 1935 the 4 leading causes of death

among those aged 1 to 14 years, covered by Metropolitan

Life Insurance policies, were diphtheria, measles,

scarlet fever and whooping cough.11

However, by 1945 the combined rates from these 4

diseases had declined by 95%, before mass vaccine

program began in the United States .12 By far the

greatest factors in the decline were better housing with

less crowded conditions, better nutrition, and other

public health, hygienic, and medical measures.

Discussion The conventional view is that adverse vaccine

reactions are relatively uncommon. At variance with

this are internationally recognized authorities such as

Dr. Bernard Rimland. Also at variance are many parents

whose children have developed medical complications

following vaccines where no other cause was evident.

Time may prove that one of the basic flaws in American

childhood vaccine programs is that it is increasingly

compulsory and mandatory. Once considered the

fountainhead of freedom, in the enforcement of vaccine

programs, America has become one of the most stringent

and arbitrary of all nations. Parents refusing to have

their children vaccinated, often for religious reasons,

are subject to charges of child abuse.

Public health officials contend that such compulsory

measures are necessary for control of infectious

diseases which, they maintain, would increase along with

childhood death rates if the vaccine mandates were

lifted. In my opinion, this argument does not bear up to

scrutiny for the following reasons:

In 1979 Sweden banned the pertussis (whooping cough)

vaccine, considering it both ineffective and dangerous.

In spite of the banning, or perhaps because of it,

Sweden maintains one of the lowest infant mortality

rates in the world. In 1975 Japan raised the age of

pertussis vaccine to 2 years of age, considering it

dangerous in infancy. Since that time, sudden infant

death syndrome (cot deaths) have largely disappeared in

Japan.13

Other nations with either voluntary vaccine programs,

such as England, or less stringently enforced programs

have lower infant mortality rates than the US. With few

exceptions, they have not had a return of deadly

epidemics (with high mortality). One researcher has

estimated that, in the case of autism, it may take 15

years to reach the standards of scientific proof that

MMR vaccine is causing autism in a large portion of

children with the condition. Can we afford to wait 15

years?

For sake of argument, let us assume that scientific

proof is eventually gained that MMR is causatively

related to a significant portion of children with autism

and developmental delay. If we continue to enforce

vaccine programs as at present, one shudders to think

what the future generations will think and write about

us. Mistakes might be forgiven, but not the enforcement

of these mistakes. If such does prove to be the case, we

can rest assured that they will be neither kind nor

charitable in their judgments of us.

Conclusion As previously mentioned, time may prove that

vaccine programs went awry when they deviated from the

most basic of traditional medical ethics: the right of a

patient to choose or reject medical therapy, or the

right of parents to accept or reject medical procedures

such as vaccines for their children. The right of free

choice provides a system for checks and balances now

lacking. As a result, present vaccine programs are going

to extremes and are possibly causing more disease than

they are preventing. The remedy? Parents should be

allowed the right of free choice to accept or reject

vaccines for their children.

Addendum Of related interest to the subject of MMR

vaccine as a potential cause of encephalitis is the

report of Dr. Sudhir Gupta and coworkers in which they

found marked abnormalities of the immune systems of

autistic children.10 Could the MMR vaccine have been a

contributing factor for these abnormalities? In 1991

there was a report of significantly higher child

mortality following high-tittered measles vaccines

compared with standard measles vaccines among children

in Senegal.14 Subsequently a study was undertaken to

assess immune responses to the high tittered vaccines.15

The results showed suppression in lymphoproliferation;

that is, suppression in lymphocyte production

(lymphocytes are a class of white blood cells which play

a major role in governing the immune system).

In the above study report it was stated, " the effect of

measles immunization on immune responses in infants has

not been systematically studied. " The study was valuable

but it tested only two strains of high red measles

vaccines, not the standard vaccine. As a result we do

know that the high-tittered vaccine does cause immune

disturbances, but we do not know the effects of the

standard measles vaccine, studies not having been done.

If such studies are not already in progress, let us hope

that they soon will be.
