Guest guest Posted September 20, 2000 Report Share Posted September 20, 2000 Mom. Do you know when I received the polio vaccine? (Cary, NC) persistentC@... [ ] Read this 1950's Contaminated Polio Vaccines - A Deadly Cure By Geraldo Fuentes http://www.viewzone.com/sv40.html 9-16-00 If you received a polio vaccination in the 50's, you may have gotten more than you know... It was 1956. I was only six years old and attended grade school in Springfield, Massachusetts. I was too young to recollect the first round of polio vaccinations, but I have a few memories. I remember that my first grade class was escorted to the school gymnasium. There was a peculiar smell in the air. I think it was probably rubbing alcohol. And some of the other kids were crying. The shot itself wasn't so bad. I didn't cry, but my best friend did. At the end of the ordeal we all got a lollipop. A few years later, when we marched again to the gymnasium it was different. There was no crying and no alcohol odor. Instead, there were long tables bearing neat rows of small paper cups, filled about half way with a liquid that tasted like bitter orange juice. White clad Nurses watched as each child drank the vaccine. There was no lollipop and, after we handed back the cup, we simply returned to class. The government had initiated the mandatory polio vaccination programs in 1955. Prior to this, polio had killed or crippled thousands of children and adults all over the world. Attacking the central nervous system, this viral infection was transmitted by human contact, sewage and even by contaminated milk. Victims who contracted polio would incubate the virus in their intestines, where it would multiply and enter the lymphatic system. Eventually the virus would penetrate the nerves and travel along nerve paths, destroying neurons and rendering the muscles connected to them paralyzed. The polio epidemic reached its height in 1952. It turned thousands of victims into cripples and confined countless children to large pressure chambers called " iron lungs, " which helped them to breath when their diaphragm muscles were stilled. There was and still is no treatment for polio. Aside from attempts to maintain life functions, the disease must run its course. And so, in 1955, just one year before I received it, Jonas Salk had performed no small miracle when he successfully mass-produced an effective polio vaccine by growing a form of the virus on the kidneys of rhesus monkeys. This virus would be harvested, killed, and given to healthy children like me, who would then develop antibodies which would kill any future invasion of the body by the polio virus. This happy story of medical marvel has a deadly glitch. And it is especially deadly if, like me, you received your vaccinations in the 1950s, in certain states like Massachusetts. In 1960, researchers discovered that the polio vaccine distributed to certain states was infected with another virus called " Simian Virus 40. " SV-40 is a monkey virus that is not normally found in humans. Unknown at the time, it was present in hundreds of rhesus monkeys that were used to grow and harvest the polio vaccine. Injected into research animals, the SV-40 virus causes brain and lung cancers. Now, some forty years later, its effect on humans is just being investigated. SV-40 has appeared in 61% of all new cancer patients -- patients too young to have received the contaminated vaccine being administered forty years ago! Michele Carbone, Assistant Professor of Pathology at Loyola University in Chicago, has recently isolated fragments of the SV-40 virus in human bone cancers and in a lethal form of lung cancer called mesotheliomas. He found SV-40 in 33% of the osteosarcoma bone cancers studied, in 40% of other bone cancers, and in 60% of the mesotheliomas lung cancers. Dr. Carbone believes this study explains why 50% of the current mesotheliomas being treated were no longer occurring in association with asbestos exposure, their traditional cause. Researchers from the Institute of Histology and General Embryology of the University of Ferrara, lead by Dr. Fernanda i, discovered SV-40's presence in a variety other tumors. They found the rhesus monkey virus in 83% of choriod plexus papillomas, in 73% of ependymomas, in 47% of astrocytomas, in 50% of glioblastomas, and in 14% of meningiomas. SV-40 also has been found in 23% of blood samples and 45% of sperm fluids taken from normal individuals! Researchers have determined the SV-40 virus can be transmitted sexually and through blood transfusions. Even more shocking, SV-40 has appeared in 61% of all new cancer patients -- patients even too young to have received the contaminated vaccine being administered forty years ago! How could this happen? My second vaccination was from a cup. This was the brainstorm of the FDA. Instead of getting the " dead " virus in an injection, the Federal vaccination policy mandated that children should be given the new live " oral polio vaccine " (OPV). This decision was based upon the belief that the OPV recipient would " shed " the virus through body contact with other non-vaccinated children and adults, thereby spreading the " live " virus throughout the population. Since the infection was extremely small, it would produce the desired antibodies while posing no threat of contracting polio. This, it was thought, would assure the total immunization of America and the eradication of the disease. The public was never informed that this national health strategy was being implemented, despite several cases of polio which were directly attributed to the vaccine. By 1963, the estimated number of tainted polio vaccinations was estimated to be upwards of 98-million! The SV-40 virus that contaminated the oral polio vaccine quickly spread from child to child and from child to adult, crossing state lines and national boundaries. By 1960, when the virus was first detected, it was already too late to prevent its dissemination throughout the population. The FDA quietly and gradually instituted a program to eliminate rhesus monkeys, who harbor the SV-40, and replace them with African Green monkeys that are free of the virus. By 1963 the monkeys had been replaced but the estimated number of tainted polio vaccinations was estimated to be 98-million! According to the National Institutes of Health, high levels of SV-40 were identified in polio vaccines in Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, Utah, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, land, Delaware, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire. Low levels of SV-40 were found in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Missouri, Louisiana, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia. Polio vaccines in the other states show no SV-40 present. This revelation has only recently come to public attention. Many people, like myself, were unaware that a potential for cancer had been implanted in their body. Researchers say that, by age fifteen, the virus stops shedding to others. I cannot but wonder how many people I contacted between the age of eight and fifteen... Did I shed the SV-40 virus to my mother, who eventually died of brain cancer? Will I contract brain, lung or bone cancer? Many other people in my age group are asking similar questions. A number of public statements have been made by the National Cancer Institute in the past few months, attempting to put their spin on these disturbing revelations. In an statement published in the January (1999) New England Journal of Medicine, the institute states that there is no evidence of an increase in humans of the types of cancers found in laboratory animals that have been injected with SV-40. But other researchers remind us that SV-40 has already been found in a wide variety of other tumors. It has been shown that individuals who received the tainted oral vaccine demonstrate a higher occurrence of these cancers. For example: people who lived in Massachusetts and Illinois in the 1950s, and received identified lot numbers of the contaminated oral vaccine, are now contracting osteosarcoma bone tumors at a rate of ten times more than those who received the vaccine free of the SV-40. But the National Cancer Institute has been silent about these facts. There needs to be more demographic studies to explore the relationship of SV-40 to adult onset cancers. Not surprisingly, the US government and its agencies are reluctant to pursue this matter. In fact, requests to the National Institute for Health for grants to study the SIV and simian cyto-megalovirus (SCMV) were recently denied. Microbiologist Urnovitz, Ph.D., may have an explanation as he stated in the Boston Globe: " that almost 100 million Americans were exposed (to SV-40) through a government sponsored program, but for over 30 years, there has been virtually no government effort to see if anyone's been harmed by the exposure. " He added, " The government will not fund science that makes it look culpable. " Another method used by the National Cancer Institute to divert public concern is to issue statements that " many of the cancers under suspicion were contracted by people who are too young to have received the tainted vaccine in the 1950s. " This argument, although true, ignores the potential of spreading the live SV-40 by " shedding " through personal contact. The oral polio vaccine was designed to be transmitted to non-vaccinated individuals by this very method. In fact, this was the reason that OPV was preferred over injection. If SV-40 is still being spread by contact today it is not surprising that these cancers are now affecting younger people. Regardless of blame, severe damage to world health has already been done by the unsavory practice of growing vaccination products in animals. An example of these horrors was presented by Dr. Urnovitz at the Eighth Annual Houston Conference on AIDS. Dr. Urnovitz revealed significant evidence that human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a monkey hybrid virus which was produced when 320,000 Africans were injected with polio virus contaminated with live simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) in the late 1950's. Apparently, viral fragments combine easily with other viruses to produce these hybrids called " chimeras. " Prior to this revelation, health officials were blaming AIDS on the habit of certain Africans to consume monkey flesh. What can be done now? " Make it in anything but animals, " said Barbara Loe Fisher of the National Vaccine Information Center, which criticizes vaccine safety. " We have the technology to make vaccines in human cell lines that are clean, " said Dr. Michele Carbone of Loyola University Medical Center, one of the first to discover SV-40 inside human tumors. Until then we can only hope that researchers continue their work, regardless of the repercussions. Millions of people are already infected with SV-40 and are in danger. Many cancers do not develop until mid-life. Future generations must be protected. We must prohibit any future contamination of the world population, whether for our own good or not, by well-meaning governmental agencies. ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 You don't actually have to take the quiz. Just read the email straight through, and you'll get the point, an awesome one, that it is trying to make! Take this quiz: 1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world. 2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners. 3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest. 4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer prize. 5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress. 6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners. How did you do? The point is, none of us remember the winners. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are with their owners. Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one: 1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school. 2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time. 3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile. 4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special. 5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with. 6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you. Easier? The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care. Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 I guess we need to be careful what kind of sexual activities we engage in a s well, gross as it may sound ya just never know. LOL ----- Original Message ----- From: Heer Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 8:11 AM Subject: read this Hey read this shit, I wonder if you could get this from anal sex ??????????? Helicobacter pylori Epidemiology Prevalence of H. pylori infection correlates best socio-economic status rather than race. In the United States, probability of being infected is greater for older persons (>50 years = >50%), minorities (African Americans 40-50%) and immigrants from developing countries (Latino > 60%, Eastern Europeans > 50%). The infection is less common in more affluent Caucasians ( < 40 years = 20%). The green square represents the total population in the United States of uninfected (normal) persons within which is a circle representing the 30% who are infected (HP+). Persons in the infected group develop duodenal ulcer at the rate of about 1% per annum so that approximately one third eventually have peptic ulcer disease. The smaller circles represent diseases associated with H. pylori. Nearly all persons with duodenal ulcer are infected. Conversely, it is very unlikely that persons without H. pylori will ever develop duodenal ulcer. Gastric ulcer is usually caused by H. pylori, but about 30% of gastric ulcers in the United States occur in persons without H. pylori and can be related to aspirin and other non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Most gastric adenocarcinomas and lymphomas occur in persons with current or past infection with H. pylori. In developing countries the ulcer groups are smaller and the gastric cancer group may be larger. For example, in northern Brazil, gastric cancer is the most common malignancy in men. Western Countries In general, the following statements can be made to summarize prevalence of H.pylori in Western countries: H.pylori affects about 20% of persons below the age of 40 years, and 50% of those above the age of 60 years. H.pylori is uncommon in young children. Low socio-economic status predicts H.pylori infection. Immigration is responsible for isolated areas of high prevalence in some Western countries. Studies of sera from epidemiologists and Californians show that a 50% decline in the prevalence of H.pylori has occurred in the United States since 1968. Developing Countries In developing countries most adults are infected. Acquisition occurs in about 10% of children per annum between the ages of 2 and 8 years so that most are infected by their teens. It is evident from careful surveys that the majority of persons in the world are infected with H.pylori. H.pylori can be cultured from the stools in most infected persons (using special techniques). This is evidence that spread by fecal oral contact with infected persons is likely. In addition, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can detect H.pylori in dental plaque from 30% of persons with the gastric infection. This may be a less common source of transmission.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Very Good advice Rhonda Very Good. Elvira RE: [] Read this Rhonda it seems you are posting from your work place. Do they monitor emails? If so, I would lovingly advise that you be careful what you say in these emails such as " nutty boss is crazy " , " he's pathetic " , etc. He's the boss Rhonda and if the emails are being monitored you could get into serious trouble. You may not like having to help move boxes; however I recall when I worked for a large corporation during remodeling times we were all asked to assist with the move--from managers down to the hourly employees. Be careful Rhonda what you write in the emails you post from work; you may not like your job--hate it as you said; however you are still employed, have a salary and benefits and able to consult with the specialist M.D. this Wednesday. Many on this group would like that opportunity but have no insurance or insurance that would not cover this specialized physician. Just my petals of thoughts, Rosie On Behalf Of Rhonda My nutty boss is crazy. They are moving out 21,000 cubic feet of boxes here and asking all employees help. Dust mania on top of mold. He just said not much dust in here. He is so stupid. This place has never been dusted in the 24+ years in here and I mean never so how could it not be dusty. He is pathetic and i've been here longer than him. Maybe my doc can pull me out of here for at least a month while starting treatment etc. Maybe the nutty boss will get it then. Wants me to record stuff but I'll have to be right there where all that crap is being moved. He just doesn't get it and I'd like to walk out of here. If I have to do this, will wear a N95 mask. Last time they did this my other boss knew I have allergies and didn't ask me to do this. Now a big huge chick here uses she has arthritis and she gets out of this job. Now doing stuff at my house I didn't mind b/c had too but this is retarded and all them mites and spores flying around and in my hair, face and all over clothes. I hate this place.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Something like 70% of companies admit to monitoring their employees email. The real percentage of companies whose employees are monitored is probably higher. Since people are working, their time belongs to their employer, so they have NO expectation of privacy, legally. I'm not saying that its not common, but its not smart to do it, (surf non-work stuff, check personal email, etc.) unless you *know* its okay.. (i.e. you are the boss) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
