Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Effectiveness Measles fell sharply after immunization was introduced. Before the widespread use of a vaccine against measles, its incidence was so high that infection with measles was felt to be " as inevitable as death and taxes. " [2] Today, the incidence of measles has fallen to less than 1% of people under the age of 30 in countries with routine childhood vaccination.[citation needed] The benefit of vaccination against measles in preventing illness, disability, and death has been well-documented. The first 20 years of licensed measles vaccination in the U.S. prevented an estimated 52 million cases of the disease, 17,400 cases of mental retardation, and 5,200 deaths.[3] During 1999–2004, a strategy led by the World Health Organization and UNICEF led to improvements in measles vaccination coverage that averted an estimated 1.4 million measles deaths worldwide.[4] Measles is endemic worldwide. Although it was declared eliminated from the U.S. in 2000, high rates of vaccination and good communication with persons who refuse vaccination is needed to prevent outbreaks and sustain the elimination of measles in the U.S.[5] Of the 66 cases of measles reported in the U.S. in 2005, slightly over half were attributable to one unvaccinated individual who acquired measles during a visit to Romania.[6] This individual returned to a community with many unvaccinated children. The resulting outbreak infected 34 people, mostly children and virtually all unvaccinated; 9% were hospitalized, and the cost of containing the outbreak was estimated at $167,685. A major epidemic was averted due to high rates of vaccination in the surrounding communities.[5] Mumps is another viral disease of childhood that was once very common. If mumps is acquired by a male who is past puberty, a possible complication is bilateral orchitis which can in some cases lead to sterility.[7] Rubella fell sharply when immunization was introduced. Rubella, otherwise known as German measles, was also very common before the advent of widespread vaccination. The major risk of rubella is if a pregnant woman is infected, her baby may contract congenital rubella from her, which can cause significant congenital defects.[8] All three diseases are highly contagious. The combined MMR vaccine was introduced to induce immunity less painfully than three separate injections at the same time, and sooner and more efficiently than three injections given on different dates. In 2005, the Cochrane Library published a review of 31 scientific studies. One of its main results: " We could not identify studies assessing the effectiveness of MMR that fulfilled our inclusion criteria even though the impact of mass immunisation on the elimination of the diseases has been largely demonstrated. " Its authors concluded, " Existing evidence on the safety and effectiveness of MMR vaccine supports current policies of mass immunisation aimed at global measles eradication in order to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with mumps and rubella.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 But if you are so confident about having immunity with vaccines... then you should not worry about it!!! Although the out breaks are being propagated by the vaccinated community and stays there!!! meaning there is no such vaccine immunity!!!

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Thank you a for posting this interesting information about Immunization. I feel so grateful that I had other concerned parents like yourself enlighten me while I was debating the vaccination issues before my daughter was born, and given her genetic autoimmune & neurological susceptibilities I feel so fortunate that I chose to NOT vaccinate her. She already has problems detoxifying due to the protein intolerances and fatty acid malabsorptions she has, we are definitely dealing with a metabolic disorder and as Dr,. said with a milder version than the text book mitochondira disorder. These are all very good indicators for reaction to vaccines injected in the blood stream no less. Vaccines would have surely pushed her over the edge and her neurological autoimmune damage would have been much greater than it already is. As i said I have parents such as yourself spreading the word to thank for having made this choice that was the right one for my daughter. It is important for parents to read both sides and try to understand what their overall beliefs are about how the medical system operates, how guidelines are set, who sits on the AMA, APA boards etc. as well as how our immune system operates---before deciding what is right for their child. Dogmas meant to scare the heard into compliance and filling the Big Pharma pockets don't work when you are presented with both sides so your messages are very important. Thank you again. Elena--mom to Ziana--age 4.3 --apraxic but otherwise a happy healthy child and improving everyday now that appropriate diet/ supplements and more frequent PROMPT have all been implemented---see now she can actually benefit and sit through the therapy so it is productive--before her attention span and compliance were making everything so hard. From: a DeVelbiss <gabrieladevelbiss@...> Subject: [ ] MEASLES! MUMPS! RUBELLA! Date: Friday, November 14, 2008, 2:06 PM MEASLES! MUMPS! RUBELLA! by Steve Ransom " Something curious has happened to the 'official' perception of the childhood diseases which are the subject of the MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella). They have all officially become more serious since vaccines were introduced. " Barr With the recent news that a High Court judge has ordered that two children be given the MMR injection against their mothers' wishes, one must ask whether the defence was acquainted with the following information. The 31st May 2001 edition of Private Eye, an independent UK publication, contained the following report on the GlaxoKline Measles, Mumps, Rubella vaccine. " A landmark ruling in the French appeal courts against UK vaccine manufacturer GSK passed almost unnoticed by the British media. The courts reached a decision that vaccine damage had taken place, based on serious, precise presumptions and similar evidence.... This has huge importance for the 3,000 UK families now seeking to sue Kline and another company over damage they say was caused to their children by the MMR jab. " THE 'M' WORD! As more and more children are being harmed by these unnecessary vaccines, and as the mainstream media continues to avoid more detailed reporting on these matters, older parents are thinking back to their own childhoods and starting to ask, " Whatever happened to those good old-fashioned measles parties? " Do our children need the MMR at all? Mothers would herd their children together into someone's front room in order to mix with another mum's spotty, measles-ridden child, in the hope of them all catching measles. Lesley Dove is co-ordinator of the London branch of Contact Network, an organisation that believes in the old-fashioned theory of measles parties. Says Ms Dove, " I think our children's immune systems are being compromised [by vaccination] . Measles was a natural part of growing up when I was a child. " However, as we will see in later chapters on germ theory and the nature of disease, the measles party is not the way forward. In a subsequent telephone call to Lesley Dove, I asked her about the success rate at these measles parties. She admitted that it was negligible. Not even Lesley's children caught anything from the parties they attended. The measles party concept does demonstrate, however, that unlike the young parents of today, parents from only a generation ago did not perceive measles as a dread disease. They knew that if a child did come down with measles, then that child would soon recover. But such has been the recent pharmaceutical campaigns with regard to 'THE DANGERS OF MEASLES!' that today's younger parents shudder when they hear the 'm' word. The corporate brainwashing runs very deep, as this Daily Telegraph article demonstrates: LOUISE HAD MEASLES - NEEDLESSLY - Louise Bate is gazing listlessly from her mother's arms, showing little interest in her toys or her three-year-old brother, , playing on the floor. Aged nine months, she is just recovering from a dose of measles that has left her drained of energy. Louise's mother Josie is indignant that Louise has fallen ill. " I feel very frustrated and sad that she got an illness that could have been avoided. Louise went from being a totally contented, happy, sleeping, well-feeding baby to the most miserable, distressed, sick child - and I know from my GP that she didn't have it badly. Measles can cause complications, such as brain damage and hearing loss. " Miserable, distressed and sick? Have we become so 'pharmaceutically shaped and educated' that we are indignant if our child becomes ill for a few days? Is it the general expectation that there should be a pill for every ill? An injection for each and every disease under the sun? With measles, what is ostensibly a relatively mild, non life-threatening condition has now been re-jigged by Big Pharma into a monster requiring highly profitable, mass immunisation. Josie's reference to brain damage and hearing loss merely indicates that she has fallen under the spell of those master weavers. Mum should count her blessings. What of the thousands of parents who now face a lifetime of heartache supporting their MMR vaccine-damaged children. They would give anything on earth to have their precious child listless and disinterested for only a couple of days, as opposed to listless and disinterested for the rest of their lives. The Telegraph article predictably carried no interviews with parents of vaccine-damaged children. Instead, the writer minimised the threat of MMR vaccine damage, quoting of all things, a UK government Department of Health investigation that unsurprisingly vindicated the vaccine, and warned readers that a low uptake of the vaccine could spark a measles epidemic. Of course, there was no such epidemic. BUT DON'T CHILDREN DIE OF MEASLES? Whenever there is a child death attributed to measles, the vaccine establishment always hits overdrive, as far as national headlines are concerned. The dismally uneventful 1984 Australia New Zealand measles 'epidemic' was a case in point. When two children were reported to have died of measles, no readers were informed that both children had a terminal illness and, more to the point, one of the children had been 'fully immunised' against measles beforehand. To repeat that timeless piece of advice from Geoff Watts: " Another trap for the unwary lies in the failure to distinguish between association and causation. " Serious cases of measles are invariably an indication of an impoverished immune system. And how might the measles vaccine have impoverished the child's immune system in the first place? Readers are reminded of the fact that the MMR vaccine contains neomycin, sorbitol and gelatin, the concoction cultivated in a medium of human diploid cells 'harvested' from aborted human foetal tissue. The tuberculosis vaccine mentioned earlier uses a medium composed of glycerin, asparagine, citric acid, potassium phosphate, magnesium sulphate, and iron ammonium citrate. This mixture helps grow what is then injected directly into the human system. Tetanus vaccine is produced using aluminium phosphate, formaldehyde, ammonium sulphate, washed sheep red blood cells, glycerol, sodium chloride, thimerosal medium (49% mercury) and pig pancreas derivatives. FAKE MEASLES EPIDEMICS Writing for JABS, an independent organisation advising parents on the potential dangers of vaccination, Janine introduces us to the fraudulent measles epidemic of 1995: " Questions are being raised about a most urgent warning sent out to doctors and the parents of 8 million children by the UK Department of Health, saying that there would definitely be a measles epidemic in 1995 that would infect between 100,000 and 200,000 children and that " around 50 children, mostly of secondary school age, would die, " - that is, if children of between 5 and 15 were not revaccinated. New research indicates that there might have been a very different story behind this campaign: Doctor Nicholson, the editor of the Bulletin of Medical Ethics, stated that after studying all government reports, there was no proof that such a major measles epidemic was about to start. He alleged the government's estimate of up to 50 deaths was based on improper use of statistics - that effectively the government was scare-mongering. Similarly, the quarterly magazine What Doctors Don't Tell You filed the following report on the same incident: 1994 MEASLES JAB NOT NEEDED - Dr Nicholson described the campaign as 'a gift horse' for the two drug companies, which still had vaccines in stock intended for use with the combined MMR jab.. The stocks of the vaccine were still current, but had to be used by autumn 1994, just when the campaign took place. " The campaign provided a very lucky break for the two vaccine suppliers. " said Dr Nicholson (Bulletin of Medical Ethics, August 1995). Here are just a few of the tragic results of this lucky break for the vaccine suppliers. 'Tony 's 9-year-old daughter Amy immediately reacted. " She collapsed within an hour. Next day she was vomiting constantly, had diarrhoea and was covered in a nettle rash. Many local children were affected. There were children still fainting in school a fortnight later. We wondered if the batch of vaccines was faulty. I will fight tooth and nail to find out why this happened to Amy. " GOVERNMENT MUST BE FORCED TO HELP FORGOTTEN CHILDREN - " Since our formation, the Hope Project has been inundated by requests for help.. Every day new parents are ringing us. They all have the same tragic story. Healthy baby, child, teenager, usually a boy, given the DPT (diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus) or DT (diphtheria and tetanus), MMR or MMR booster. This was then followed by a sudden fall or slow but steady decline into autism or other spectrum disorders. Initially, we were being contacted by a new parent a week. By 1998, we were trying to help on average three new sufferers a week. Such is the increase in contacts this year, that now we could give up everything else we do and just talk to parents all day. There is an epidemic out there and authorities are refusing to acknowledge it. " For the first time in this study on vaccination, the word epidemic has been used correctly. It is describing a real disaster unfolding - a man-made, profit-driven, vaccine-damage epidemic. Janine again: " One of those most angry about last year's MMR vaccination campaign is , mother of 12-year-old son Sam. " He was ridiculously healthy, He never had anything wrong with him, apart from some mild asthma, was doing well at school and loved football. He was an avid Spurs fan. Four weeks after vaccination, coming down the stairs, his knees suddenly gave way and he tumbled down. He kept on falling. Sometimes when I was talking to him he would suddenly go blank. One doctor said to me: " Has he been exposed to measles? " I said, " No, he has never had measles. " The doctor replied, " No, I meant, has he had a recent measles injection? " Then it clicked. All this had started after the vaccination. Sam is now in a wheelchair and has lost the power of speech. " With MMR, DPT, meningitis, smallpox, rabies, tetanus and the flu 'shot' all billed as safe by the UK government, what should we make of the UK Prime Minister's refusal to say whether his baby son has received the infamous MMR triple jab? Blair's reticence in this matter displays a strangely unsupportive role over a vaccine that spearheads his own government's child immunisation programme. Perhaps privately, the Blairs have looked up the more accurate information on MMR, as opposed to relying on the dangerous nonsense pumped out to the masses. And having looked up the real goods on this vaccine, who in their right mind would wish the MMR vaccine on anyone, let alone their own child? The Blairs might also have been influenced in their decision by 'insider' vaccine information, some of which appeared in the UK Sunday Observer, dated 27th August 2000, revealing that the UK government had attempted to cover up the deaths of a number of children as a result of receiving the meningitis vaccine. Documentation also revealed that more than 16,000 adverse reactions to the meningitis jab had been reported by GPs, since the nationwide campaign began in 2000. With the UK Department of Health admitting that only between 10 and 15 percent of adverse reactions are reported, the actual number of children damaged as a result of this vaccine is probably far higher. Actually, it would be naïve in the extreme to think that Tony and Cherie are anything but fully conversant with the dangers of vaccination. A PRESIDENT'S PRECEDENT But the Blairs need not feel alone in their dilemma. Even a president has set a precedent over the issue of vaccine refusal. On a visit to the Middle East, former US president Bill Clinton refused the mandatory US army anthrax shot, the vaccine now believed to be at the root of the strange and debilitating illnesses rendering many Gulf War veterans virtually immobile. Interestingly, The UK Mail on Sunday, dated 22nd December 2002, reported the high number of armed forces personnel who were refusing the anthrax 'jab' because of their fears of experiencing side-effects, which have left many ex-servicemen and women with permanent disability. GERMAN MEASLES (RUBELLA) Falsely dubbed German measles, rubella is germane (similar/relevant) to measles. But yet again, we are being cynically manipulated by certain vested interests, into believing that this illness is highly dangerous, when it is not. Twenty years ago, the reporting on rubella was very low-key. The 1982 MacMillan Guide to Family Health stated: " This is a very mild infectious disease - in the majority of children who catch it, it causes no more inconvenience that a common cold. The incubation period is 14-21 days and the first symptoms are a slightly raised temperature, swollen glands behind the ears and a rash appearing on the first or second day first on the face and then spreading to the rest of the body. By the fourth or fifth day, all symptoms have faded away. " BUT ISN'T RUBELLA A DANGER TO EXPECTANT MUMS? Before the triple whammy of MMR, thousands of young girls were being injected with the rubella vaccine, in the belief that this vaccine would provide the girls with future immunity against German measles because of its possible negative effects upon the foetus. In actual fact, it was the vaccine itself that was the danger to these young girls, now known to have given rise to early arthritis, arthralgia, various skin conditions, respiratory trouble and swollen glands. As far as rubella being a danger to expectant mums is concerned, a study carried out by doctors on the effects of rubella on foetuses of women who had contracted German measles was published in The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. In their study of 34 pregnant women thought to have rubella, eight mothers were told that their unborn babies had rubella infection. Six of those mothers chose to have abortions. Only three of the aborted babies were determined to be rubella 'positive'. The other two supposedly 'infected' babies were carried to term and were born with no defects. Twenty-four of the remaining twenty-six babies were born in good health. The other two died from other causes. Translated, out of the thirty-four babies in the report, none was born with any defects, two babies died of other causes and six women were scared into aborting their babies needlessly, with life-lasting emotional consequences for the parents concerned. Another one of those wretched snapshots, clearly depicting the unforeseen consequences that can beset those who fall under the mesmeric spell of perceived conventional medical wisdom and do everything they're instructed to do by their doctor. On the rubella vaccine itself, vaccine critic, Dr Mendelson stated: " Being a sceptical soul, I have always believed that the most reliable way to determine what people really believe is to observe what they do, not what they say. If the greatest threat of rubella is not to children, but to the foetus yet unborn, pregnant women should be protected against rubella by making certain that their obstetricians won't give them the disease. Yet, in a California survey reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, more than 90 percent of the obstetrician- gynaecologists refused to be vaccinated. If doctors themselves are afraid of the vaccine, why on earth should the law require that you and other parents allow them to administer it to your kids? " CHICKEN POX Consider the following explanation of chicken pox, from the 1967 Pears Medical Encyclopaedia, before the introduction of the vaccine: " Generally the rash is the first, and sometimes only symptom, but the child may be irritable, headachy, and have a slight temperature. No specific treatment exists (although if the child is irritable, Aspirin may be given and calamine lotion applied to the sores); there are no complications in the vast majority of cases. Quarantine period is three weeks from the beginning of the rash, but doctors are increasingly of the opinion that there is no reason why other members of the family should not be exposed to a harmless infection which confers immunity for life - other people's children are, of course, another matter. " And now, since the introduction of the chicken pox vaccine, look at this condensed explanation of chicken pox, found in the year 2000 edition of the Merck Manual: " Chicken pox, which is extremely contagious, is believed to be spread by infected droplets and is most communicable during the short prodrome and early stages of the eruption.. A live attenuated varicella vaccine is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics for universal vaccination of all healthy children who lack a reliable history of chicken pox. " Who do you believe? PROFIT BEFORE HEALTH The recent spate of stories concerning certain patients being 'struck off' by their doctors for the sake of profit, highlights the commercialism surrounding the MMR jab. The Canbury Medical Centre in Kingston, Surrey, in the UK, is not meeting the government target of immunising 90% of the children on its list. If this continues, the doctors will each lose a 'vaccination bonus' of £2,865. Because of the fears surrounding the MMR vaccine, those parents who have elected not to have their child vaccinated are being sent letters stating that their child will be treated as a 'temporary resident'. This politicking reduces the overall numbers and brings the percentages back up to within target levels. The surgery's policy came to light when one mother received a letter from the medical centre saying that her daughter Abigail, who has not had MMR, would be de-registered because she had not had all the recommended vaccinations. " I was absolutely livid and also quite shocked, " said Abigail's mother. " I feel so strongly about this. Not giving Abigail MMR is my choice; it is my free choice. It is an educated decision I have made through research, deliberation and discussion - and now my child's right to a GP is being denied her. This goes straight to the fundamentals of why parents don't trust the doctors on MMR. How can you trust the advice of somebody who is being paid to do something? " THE RISE IN AUTISM And in the US, Dr Mercola invites us to consider the link between the great rise in the number of autistic children and a vaccination policy which currently oversees babies being given their first vaccine against hepatitis B in the first two days of life, and another two doses before they are 18 months old. These children also have five doses of diphtheria and tetanus, two doses of MMR, four of the Hib, one of chicken pox, four of the polio vaccine and now four doses of a vaccine supposedly to prevent ear infections before they go to school. " It should be pointed out that today's children receive 22 or more vaccines before school age, whereas today's senior citizens received only one vaccine in their youth, the smallpox vaccine. " VACCINE ADVERSE EVENTS REPORTING SYSTEM To date, the US National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program or NVICP, established in 1986, has paid out in excess of $1 billion in injury awards to western vaccine-recipients. There are quite literally thousands of cases pending. This despite the fact that the Health and Human Services narrowed the definition of vaccine damage to such an extent that only immediate and severe reactions now qualify. Seizures, disorders, brain damage, ataxia, paralysis, learning difficulties and deaths that occur many days or weeks following these vaccinations do not qualify. Added to this, doctors have little incentive to report themselves to the government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System or VAERS, prompting former director of the FDA Kessler to confess that " .only 10% of vaccine injuries are ever reported. " Jillani, of People Advocating Vaccine Education, has observed the growing number of children now suffering from 20th century behavioural disorders, and reports: " So the injuries can even conservatively amount to tens of thousands of children, while doctors continue to diagnose and treat mysterious new illnesses and maintain the 'one in a million' adverse reaction myth taught in medical schools. " A front-page article appeared in the UK's Sunday Observer, dated 27th August 2000. The Observer obtained documents revealing that the UK government had attempted to cover up 11 deaths of children as a result of receiving the meningitis vaccine. The document also revealed that more than 16,000 adverse reactions to the meningitis jab had been reported by GP's since the nationwide campaign began last year. With the UK Department of Health admitting that only between 10 and 15 percent of adverse reactions are reported, the actual number of children damaged as a result of this vaccine is probably far higher. Similarly, on 13th December 2000, Independent Newspapers ran the following: FALSE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ENDANGERING THE PUBLIC - Doctors are fabricating research results to win grants and advance their careers, but the medical establishment is failing to protect the public from the menace of these scientific frauds, a committee of medical editors said yesterday. Eighty cases of fraudulent research have been detected in the past four years, and 30 have been investigated in the past year. In some cases, institutions have covered up wrongdoing to protect reputations. .. Is it really any wonder that so many behavioural, nervous and mental disorders are presenting themselves at doctors' surgeries, when we consider the high number of vaccines being administered? The next chapter looks at the legal steps parents and individuals can take to avoid such vaccinations.

Nothing, never, ever even once!! OMG-- its our decision what to do with OUR own families- it is NOT your job to push it on us!! If you have no speech issues to contribute to--than why are you here? Here in our vaccinated community- there was another poor child in my community who contracted Whooping Cough- and he WAS vaccinated!! So- keep your children locked in the house this winter.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I am completely convinced that Mark had micro-vascular strokes.... he is very much like a stroke victim and via extensive research.... I am very sure that his illness has to do with his 2nd month vaccines. I 'know' he is vaccine injured and that he is one of those children who sustained damage at a young age. Anyone who does the research can delve into the possible consequences of vaccination. Once you do... you learn what happened to your child. I am 'not' anti-vaccine in any way and Mark has had all of his vaccines to date. BUT..... I believe that our tender young babies need to have a better/safer schedule for we are hurting many of them for the 'greater' good. I dislike the idea that it is acceptable that my child be used in this way. But.... society has accepted that our children... our sweet young kids.... can be victims for the rest of society. It is wrong and we need to find a better way. This information is important and those who don't agree with it can just hit the 'delete' button. It IS relevent to our kids.... very relevant! Outbursts that are rude and unkind are not a thoughtful way to respond to someone who has taken the time and energy to provide research to others.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 <sigh> -- for pretty much the majority of those here on this list-- this *IS* the place for not only learning about the possible causes of Apraxia (of which, I might remind you, vaccines is one of those possible causes) but also the CURES of Apraxia. There are so many people on this list who are interested in getting to the OTHER SIDE of Apraxia-- and ridding our children from as many of the issues that they have, as we possibly can.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 No one really knows for sure what role these vaccinations play in many conditions. Maybe just maybe they play a part in apraxia? I think apraxia is a little bit of a mystery condition, although neurological in nature who knows if certain things or toxins or vaccinations for that matter make things worse.... Just for thought.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hi , I do believe the Fish Oil --PRO EFA EPA + E --are......part of those " natural healing cures " we are all here to learn more about..... and there is also a lot of talk about arsenic, and creatinine and carnitine...and lead, .... possibly mercury, that has been known to affect people neurologically...vitamin E..... and many of these these are not tested for or prescribed by regualr doctors on a regular basis it seems--they just haven't learned about them in their training and that's why we're here posting on this list and not just going to the doctor to get all the information we need from them only. Hmm...I see your point, and I am sorry, you do have a lot to delete here then, but I think the larger list can benefit from this information and there are really no negative consequences for those who do not want to read about natural cures because they can just delete those messages. It's just that simple! I am sorry, I don't mean to trivialize this, and I do see that there is a lot of information presented here that you do not want to read about but I really do think it is important to present it for those who do. Please bear with us and just delete what you don't care to read about. Honestly, I do the same thing too for the posts where I feel I either have nothing to contribute or they just don't pertain to my daughter's situation in any way. But I generally read them just to be sure, and then when I see what they are about I delete, or save them and thank the people who posted them as the case may be. This is really a wonderful resource for us all, it is the most active apraxia list there is, others aren't as active and perhaps you would have an easier time there, they really don't encourage fish oil and " natural cures " at all--so that's also a choice. Just do what works best for you. We're all here to learn and if we only want to learn about the topics we have already decided interest us, deleting isn't that hard. We have to keep an open mind for those who want to learn more. -Elena From: <whitmore_dh@...> Subject: [ ] Re: MEASLES! MUMPS! RUBELLA!

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 , If you dont like the post, dont read it! That simple. I will continue to work toward spreading the word and doing my part to BE THAT ONE NUMBER that adds to the fact that " genetics is not an epidemic. " As a result, ONE DAY your child, my child and many others will have the ability to receive a vaccine that is preservative and toxin free. I am not sure when that day will be, but I am hopeful. It is my choice to work toward that goal along with so many others. I do not judge you for your choice. Please dont judge the other mothers who share similar beliefs as mine and want to share the information. Like it or not, SOME of these children were affected by vaccinations and the result is APRAIXA. (I have pictures to prove it) BTW - There are several other boards that many of us choose to continue further conversations about Vaccines.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 For me and mine, genetics, plus bad antibiotic, plus vaccine contraindicated for my kid given the antibiotic, was a part of our puzzle. I appreciate the posts on vaccines, both sides, to make informed decisions for our future. They seem relevant to apraxia for me because in somme places choices are being taken away from parents and I need to know about that as well. Digest and delete works for posts that are irrelevant to me. Fighting amongst moms does not. HTH, Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Liz I don't believe that 's statement was blanket. To me it's the truth. We honestly don't know what causes apraxia even if you or me or Colleen or anyone else here insists we do know. While we still don't know what apraxia is it appears there are more and more children even younger than 2 years old being diagnosed with it by SLPs who " aren't sure " " don't really know much about apraxia " but " suspect it " . Thus we today do have a number of members with " cured " 3 year olds and who knows if they really were apraxic or they were just late talkers? I'm sure the answer to that is again 'we' don't know. To know for fact we need to develop valid tests through research. And that's only one type of research apraxia is lacking in. Apraxia is probably a mystery more due to lack of research rather than it's mysteriousness. ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Dear list mates: I just want to say that Maureen did not mean to be hurtful in any way... she and I have different point of views, but never the less it is important that we all should be respectful of each other and of what we all can bring to the group... she was only expressing her thoughts and being active in our group!!! My mission as a researcher, an activist and mother of 2 vaccine-injured boys is to keep you informed and that is with articles and documents that will help you see outside the box!!! In order to treat any type of problem, we must all know what are the possible causes, and that way we can decide for the right treatment!!! What causes brain injury?!!! http://www.iahp.org/About.30.0.html Autism, apraxia, are only a few of the labels used to name the problems our children have...Some of the labels commonly used to describe brain-injured children are: http://www.iahp.org/Brain-Injuries-Index.205.0.html It has been proved by many scientists, and doctors that vaccines cause brain inflammation, and micro-vascular strokes... That is where you can compare our children with people who have suffered strokes and have the same language problems... Our children's problems are originated in the brain, Motor planning, and liver: muscle tone (mitochondrial issues)... That being said each child is different and some are affected more than others... if your child only has language delay, than you are a few of the lucky ones, some are autistic, epileptic and CP... some have a combination of this and have far more difficult road ahead... but, they can all recover, as long as we can determine the cause or origin, to work in pro of building their brains and other affected organs... By the way, not so long ago two Mexican scientists found a possible relation between the virus that causes chickenpox, chickenpox-zó ster, and cases of multiple sclerosis in active stage. The investigation was developed by Adolfo ez and Julio Sotelo, who identified the presence of the virus just chickenpox-zó ster in a group of 62 patients with multiple sclerosis when it was in active stage. The virus of chickenpox would cause in the brain a scar that would prevent the myelin production, a protein that surrounds nervous fibers and facilitates the transmission of the nervous impulses. The investigation was published in the ls magazine of Neurology. “In resistance, were not viral particles in samples of patients with multiple sclerosis in phase of remission or subjects to neurological control”, indicate the conclusions of the scientists.. . “We considered that this is the cause. Or he will see himself if it is cause or one of the causes”, indicated Julio Sotelo. “In these initial findings he can be one neither forceful nor dogmatic one”, said the scientist. The multiple sclerosis affects the spinal marrow and the brain, causing damages in the coordination, the balance and the memory; in addition, it hits the muscular development and the visual capacity. Now correct me if I am wrong... but MS cases are also on the rise along with Alzheimer's and ASD, Remember that MS and ASD share same mitochondrial issues... And the most common exposure to chickenpox this days is childhood VACCINES!!! What do you think?!!! Here it is straight from the horse's mouth: The following document is from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and lists the inactive ingredients in vaccines along with the materials that are used to culture or grow mass quantities of vaccines. Vaccine Excipient and Media Summary: http://www.909shot.com/Vaccine%20Excipients%20CDC.pdf Were you aware that vaccines have all this ingredients?!!! Do you know what all this ingredients can cause?!!! http://www.novaccine.com/vaccine-ingredients/ And yet you have options: http://www.generationrescue.org/vaccines.html & A User-Friendly Vaccine Schedule: http://www.generationrescue.org/pdf/user_friendly.pdf Love, Gabby. :0) http://stemcellforautism.blogspot.com/ " I know of nobody who is purely Autistic or purely neurotypical.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I think we should try to explore all of the options then..... Some of us 'know' our children have vaccine injury while others suspect various causes, and still other parents have no idea or have rarely thought about the issue. Janice [sPAM][ ] Re: MEASLES!

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I am going to {sigh} too! Different people contribute different 'things' to our little world here. Jeanne contrbiutes community messages, often in the NJ area. These posts don't usually pertain to me because I don't live in NJ but they certainly don't offend me.... Jeanne is contributing and is 'helping' to get much needed information 'out' there. Gabby does this too but on a different topic. Usually there is just a mere link that is included in the message.... nothing overtly cumbersome.... just a link for those wish wish to read more. I remember one day, following a link that changed the course of my sons' life. It was not posted by Gabby but was given by some other kind soul who was just distributing information on autism. The Link was to Autism Fair Media and I was amazed by what I had learned. I found myself jumping from topic to topic watching the videos listed and before I knew it, I realized that all of these years of therapy, there was a medical 'link' to my son's disorder that I had been missing.... a 'reason' why he had not gotten better and why his body could not grow strong and vibrant like others. If you're curious, here is the link: http://www.autismmedia.org/media11.html I had learned a bit already from reading the boards but this link changed my life and thus changed my son's life. It was to that person.... I don't even know who posted the link, that I owe my current knowledge base and I owe 'that' person a debt for steering my son on a path of biomedical recovery. Sometimes, it is the 'quiet', unobtrusive posts that help us the most. I don't understand the current 'outrage' and 'anger' at people who simply seek to provide information to others. We all serve this cause in our own little ways.... each of us has something different to contribute and that is what makes the 'boards' a wonderful place to learn from.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Apraxia is a symptom. Knowing what causes it in the individual child matters...was it stroke, allergy, genetics a combo. The studies on macrobid have been done so a big part of what we have here is solved. For Colleen and I the studies on celiac, thyroid stuff, etc. have been done...so again more clues. is the only doc trying to look at all of this globally and cannot get a study easily. So this " we'll never know " when there are roads we can take on our own (for us here it is checking for lymes again as we tripped a screen and a few other tests) that do not warrant waiting. Macrobid plus vaccines...certain ones, at the wrong time, does the kind of damage we saw and may explain why he is speaking so well but still can't do stairs. Everyone has to do what is right for their kid. For some of us that means looking at vaccines. The combination of two vaccines given within the wrong proximity to a certain drug harmed my kid and has been studied beyond my kid. I am thrilled he is doing well but would be a fool to think it is over. My kid has lingering things that if let go will be very damaging so saying " we may never know " and watching him decline are not an option. This is my kid though and not what happened to everyone elses BUT how I found out was through what he had in common with many kids here. It is about support.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Many of our children, if they have hypotonia, should be expertly looked at for mitochondria dysfunction as well. This can be a serious condition down the road leading to diabetes, liver issues and all sorts of other problems. We have never done this with Mark and now.... since he is testing out with high fasting blood glucose levels..... I am sorry that I never knew to have a doctor look at this. We did a second test last week and I am praying every single night.... that his blood glucose levels are normal this time. If not, then we have some major 'serious' issues on our hands... it feels as though I just get my son 'better' and then something 'else' always seems to crop up. It's depressing!
