Guest guest Posted January 4, 2003 Report Share Posted January 4, 2003 Thanks, OR This is from an article from the Emedicine web site by Kemp; " For women with hypergonadotropic hypogonadism (ie, gonadal failure), the most common cause of hypogonadism is syndrome, which occurs with an incidence of 1 case per 2,500-10,000 live births. For men with hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, the most common cause is Klinefelter syndrome, which occurs in 1 case per 500-1,000 live births. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism occurs more rarely. " I have never heard the term " hypergonadotropic hypogonadism " but understand that that means what is usually called " primary hypogonadism. " Now, if one in 500-1000 males have Klinefelters alone, the total number of males with Klinefelters, HH, Kallman's etc. is much more common. We're probably down in the one in 100 range. Add in those who have developed HH later in life, and we have a pretty common condition. How come the public and even the medical community know so little about it?

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 It is time that we did something about that!! This is a serious life affecting issue and it is not fair for the public to ignore it!

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Angie, Try MMWR. The weekly mortality and morbidity report from CDC. It's available on line. Open it and search notifiable diseases. Jim ________________________________ From: on behalf of lukie_mom Sent: Mon 4/17/2006 8:23 PM Subject: [ ] Statistics I was wondering if anyone knows of a site that would list the reported cases of the diseases that we immunize for? I am 8 months pregnant and I have an autistic son. I do not want to give my newborn any vaccines that are not 100% necessary. I am not convinced that any are. My biggest concerns are polio, pertussis, diptheria and tetanus(only because of the severity of the diseases) I want to know if there is a listing online stating the occurences of these diseases in 2005 in America. Anyone with this info- please let me know- I would greatly appreciaite it.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 -Read the book called " what every parent should know about vaccines " . It has statistics as well as real facts. After reading I decided that the risk of injury from vaccines is far higher than my children contracting these type of diseases. Actually, the hib given at birth is for a disease contracted from iv drug use and homosexual contact. Neither of which my children have to worry about right now. -- In , " lukie_mom " <railie@...> wrote: > > I was wondering if anyone knows of a site that would list the reported > cases of the diseases that we immunize for?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Does anyone have documentation of the statistics if left untreated? I am doing research trying to put together my appeal/fight for Tricare to pay for this and thought that might help my argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I would love to see a copy. I am getting ready to do an appeal to BCBS of TN. Has anyone else done an appeal to them? If so, did they pay anything? Thanks, mary Statistics Does anyone have documentation of the statistics if left untreated?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hi, I'm working on an appeal to Dean Health Plan in WI. They exclude coverage of the DOC Band because 'no studies to date have demonstrated that DOC banding can prevent medical complications.' If anyone has come across information to help build an appeal against this, I'd very much appreciate it. Many thanks! Alison Bergum > > > > I just sent my appeal into United Health Care. If you would like I could e-mail you a copy. It has supporting information about the effects of plagio left untreated. I don't know where I put the actual articles otherwise I would send you those. > > Lorie > Mom to Spencer and Alizabeth 15 months > Spencer- Left Plagio- DOC band Grad 9/07-12/07 > Glendale, AZ > Statistics > > > Does anyone have documentation of the statistics if left untreated?
