Re: Help! - measles booster question

[Guest guest]

Hi Ann,

I don't know the details but if you head over to PecanBread's Yahoo

group and ask some questions regarding vaccines and ways to get out of

vaccination.. That's the place to ask.

I want vaccines to be safe and green until that point I am weary of

them! Many Pharma's make such incredible amounts of money in this

arena- it would be really nice to have an independent group with no

monetary and political ties that would truly investigate this serious

issue.

One of the issues with vaccines is the metal based preservatives like

thimoresol (sp?) when this was looked at as being problematic and

questions came back as to the safety- Pharma companies just pulled

those vaccines of the shelf in Western countries (although many places

still use them) and donated it to 3rd world countries and China. In

the process they got a tax deduction. During this time it was really

when the Chinese first starting seeing their country plagued by the

Autism epidemic. I think this warrents a serious multi-faceted

investigation.

There are so many links behind ASD, ADD and IBD that sometimes I

wonder if Crohn's or Colitis is like an " Autism of the Gut "

I would approach a vaccine with extreme caution.

Ann,

I am a dentist and a pharmacist as well as a mother of twin 10 year old

boys. I researched the vaccine/ autism link when my boys were to get

their MMR ( measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine when they were small

because I was scared for them. From what I read, children, because of

their immature neurological systems, are at greater risk--there are

several variables--one is a genetic risk--autism runs in families. Two,

mothers who had a measles booster shot in their late teens, early

twenties had children who possibly were more likely to develop autism

after the MMR. Third, triple vaccines were more likely to cause the

problem such as MMR--combined for ease of administration- rather than a

simple one vaccine, such as polio. Some of these children are already

born with a titer of MMR in their blood because Mom was boostered in

early adulthood. Now, perhaps some things have changed since I

researched, but my gut feeling ( pardon the pun) is that your vaccine

at your tender age of 43 will not affect you in a negative way.

You have a mature neurologic system and mature immune system ( even

though UC has been postulated to be autoimmune in nature, you still

have a mature, functioning immune system) You already have been

vaccinated with measles and have the antibodies in your blood--the

booster is meant to do just that--boost your immune response to

measles if you are ever challenged by the virus. But, you probably

already have full immunity to measles. You can have a blood test to see

if you have an adequate titer of antibodies in your blood and if so,

can use that as your argument to not have the booster.

Best regards,

I agree with Jodi. Heavy metal toxicity (from amalgams, seafood and

environmental

exposure) affects the gut and immune systems and is often associated with

autism, candida

and gut problems. A vaccine not only has live virus but other excipients,

things like

aluminum (also neurotoxic and potentially reactive with any mercury you may have

in your

body) and sometimes MSG (linked with obesity). There is speculation that Gulf

War Syndrome

is partly tied to the many vaccinations the soldiers receive.
