Unforunately, all too true....

A child of twelve was charged with ‘threatening behaviour’ at his school in Bowmanville, East of Toronto last week. The arrest happened when the boy (who cannot be named for legal reasons) threw a tantrum refusing the Hepatitis B vaccine. The National Post reported (http://news.nationalpost.com/2010…) that police were brought into Ross Tilley Public School because the boy had threatened to damage the school. Unfortunately, the report failed to give the reason why the child was refusing the vaccine or what made him so angry.

The National Post said:
“Officers consulted with the Crown attorney’s office and charged the boy with threatening, a criminal charge police said was justified: “due to the age of the child and concerns over public safety.”

This may or may not be true; however, at no time did there appear to be any concern for this child’s welfare. There may have been many reasons why the twelve year old did not want to be vaccinated. These range from being afraid of the needle to being worried about the possible side effects.  It could be that Hepatitis B is in fact a disease that is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse or sharing dirty drug needles!

For the side effects for more information on the Hep B vaccine please read – Drugs.Com,  Side Effects of Hepatitis B vaccine – for the Consumer (http://www.drugs.com/sfx/…)

It appears from the report that it is perfectly OK to give this vaccine to the children at school but it is clearly not an option for any child to refuse to have it. Having the police brought into the school sends out the message to the other children that they must not refuse the vaccine. Clearly this child did not want to have the vaccine and was subsequently treated like a criminal/animal as a result.

But is it perfectly OK to force vaccinate a child if that child refuses the vaccine?

Hospitals and schools are supposed to use a law called the Gillick law to establish whether a child is competent enough to decide whether they want/do not want a medical procedure.

When a parent does not want their child to have a vaccine a child has the right to decide that they want the vaccine and overrule their parents wishes by using the Gillick law. A recent document entitled The Royal College of Nursing

Signpost Guide: Nurse-led Immunisation of School Aged Children explains the Gillick law as follows:
“…even if a child is under 16, she or he might be able to give consent to medical treatment providing that they have sufficient understanding of the proposed procedure.” (http://www.rcn.org.uk/…)

However, a child may also refuse medical treatment even if the treatment is life-saving.

Although the Gillick law originally was approved for use in England it is now used worldwide.

The following article explains how this law has been applied  to cases in Canada (http://www.highbeam.com/doc…) or in full here (http://www.allbusiness.com/legal…):
/>When children refuse medical treatment: role of government and assessments; a standardized test to assess a child’s maturity and understanding would help judges in their Solomonic roles to render more uniform decisions.(Canada)
To determine the law in Canada they use the Medical Consent of Minors Act, R.S.N.B. 1976, c. M-6.I.

CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND HEALTH CARE – Canadian law and Policy (http://library.athabascau.ca…) by Julie Gilmore explains the act in full. She says: “Treating without consent can give rise to tort, criminal and professional disciplinary liability.”

We have to consider at this point whether arresting the 12 year old was protecting him while respecting his wishes to refuse medical treatment.

Can a 12 year old be mature and competent enough to understand the consequences of not having a vaccine? If he is deemed competent and mature enough to be arrested then one would pressume that he was.

In the UK the Gillick law was used in the case of Hannah Jones. This was a young lady aged 13 who required a life saving heart transplant as a result of treament for leukemia. Hannah felt that she had had enough, she felt tired and wanted to go home and spend the rest of days there. She said: “I am not a normal 13 year old. I am a very deep thinker. I have had to be, with my illness. It’s hard to know I’m going to die, but I also know what is best for me.”

However, the hospital decided that Hannah was too young to make this decision.  Hannah’s parents wanted to honour Hannah’s wishes to stop the treatment and allow their daughter to return home. The hospital used the Gilliack law saying that the girl did not know her own mind and took the case case to court asking for police to be sent in to Hannah’s home and to temporarily remove Hannah from her parents so that the transplant could go ahead. The hospital accused her parents of being ‘bad parents’ for preventing Hannah’s treatment.

Fortunately the court decided to uphold the girls wishes. See the full story (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail…)

The case in the National Post only gave the public a one sided version of the story. It seems neither the boy nor his parents were interviewed. Therefore, reading between the lines, one can only assume that this lad was being forcibly vaccinated. If this was the case, then we should ask ourselves, “Was the correct person arrested in this instance?” If the child was old enough and competent enough to be arrested, then according to the Medical Consent of Minors Act, R.S.N.B. 1976, c. M-6.I., he was well within his rights to refuse this vaccine.

It is stated here (http://www.allbusiness.com/legal…) that a doctor may not agree with a patient’s decision to reject medical attention including vaccines, but as long as the child is capable of making that decision, the doctor must respect it. It is clear that the 12 year should have been tested to establish whether he was Gillick competent. If this did not happen then according to the Canadian Act it was the school who broke the law regardless to what this child did or did not threaten. Since when have schools become doctors?

In conclusion, it is clear that the 12 year should have been tested to establish whether he was Gillick competent. If this did not happen, then according to the Canadian Law it was the school officials that the police should have arrested because the school officials violated this young man’s freedom of choice.

It is quite scary when we see more and more examples of how the basic rights and freedoms that we presume to enjoy in Canada, are seemingly upheld less often than you would expect. Informed consent is seemingly become more a relic of the past, perhaps something that a museum piece needs to be designed for so that this history is not forgotton.

Call it an air attack on rabies, if you will.

In the coming weeks, the Tennessee Department of Health and U.S. Department of Agriculture will drop massive amounts of fishmeal-coated rabies vaccine all over the state from airplanes.

It’s a bid to prevent rabies from infecting raccoons, which local health advocates say spread the disease quickly and are prone to attack pets and people once infected.

“Rabies is most common in wild animals in Tennessee, and it poses a risk to humans and domestic animals that come into contact with wildlife,” said L. Rand Carpenter, assistant state public health veterinarian. “Control of raccoon rabies is vital to public health.”

Blocks of vaccine will be dropped by air over 3,400 square miles, according to the state Department of Health. Tennessee will target its borders with Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia.

The heavy control effort is relatively new for Tennessee because the disease only recently has become a problem in the state, one official said.

“We didn’t have much of a problem with rabies until 2004,” said Bonnie Deakins, director of environmental health for the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department. “But that year we had something like 12 cases.”

The rabies vaccine drops began nine years ago, according to a news release. State officials believe it has slowed the spread of rabies here.

“We also help them by dropping the bait in suburban areas where they can’t drop it by air,” she said.

The oral rabies vaccine will be distributed Oct. 1-10 in Carter, Cocke, Greene, Hamblen, Hawkins, Sullivan, Unicoi and Washington counties. Bait distribution will take place from Oct. 7-15 in Bradley, Hamilton, Marion, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe and Polk counties.

The health department advises that bait may be dropped in areas where humans and pets are present. Consuming the bait won’t harm a pet, but consuming several baits could cause an upset stomach. Humans shouldn’t handle the bait without gloves because of the strong fish smell, officials said.

I wonder how much "collateral damage" will result from this initiative? The mild and severe side effects of vaccination continue to be documented, yet the "official" response never seems to go beyond declaring them anomallies.

It is encouraging that at least some countries are willing to ban the unsafe flu shots, but when will there be a more widespread understanding of the underlying principles of vaccination?

Amy S. Holmes, MD

I was once a “very mainstream” physician. I did everything by the book. I was taught, “if it is not a drug, it doesn’t work,” and “parents know absolutely nothing.” And I truly believed this.

After 15 years of fertility treatment, I had my first and only child, Mike. He was normal and quite healthy at birth. At six months he was a very happy baby. He also had very good, if not exceptional, social skills for an infant. By the age of one year, he had 20 to 25 words, and his development was normal in every sense.

But around 15 to 16 months of age, he started to “go away.” This was most noticeable in the disappearance of his eye contact. Looking back, I see that his photos clearly show his regression. He changed from a loving, social child to an unloving, unresponsive mess. He started treating my husband Charlie and me like furniture, and he would spend hours holding and staring at two leaves. Charlie and I knew that something had happened to him within a relatively short period of time, but we had no clue what it could be. We started our journey to find an answer; and when we eventually discovered that answer, we were shocked.

We took Mike to his pediatrician who simply told us, “Boys talk later.” We knew better. He had no explanation as to why Mike had started talking, and then stopped. We finally saw a pediatric neurologist in our area, and Mike was diagnosed as having “severe” autism—not just autism, but an extreme case of autism. The pediatric neurologist then suggested that we try a number of different treatments, such as speech therapy, ABA, and “mind-altering” drugs; but she also said that these treatments would not be very helpful to him. As you can imagine, this was incredibly hard for Charlie and me to deal with: first, being told that our son had a severe case of autism and second, being told that very little could be done to help him. (Unfortunately, I now realize that our situation was not unique—many families are in this same situation right now.)

We followed the neurologist’s discouraging advice and even tried additional treatments, such as play therapy, Floor time, auditory integration training, occupational therapy, and some nutritional/biomedical interventions such as IVIg, GFCF diet, vitamin B6 with magnesium, and dimethylglycine (DMG). We did notice some improvements from these interventions, but Mike still was severely autistic. We were desperate—Mike was 3 1/2 years old (March, 1999), and he no longer talked.

I heard about a terrific physician in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Dr. Stephanie Cave. I brought Mike to see her, and she performed several Defeat Autism Now!-type tests, including a test for toxic metals in his hair. Surprisingly, Mike had very high levels of lead in his hair. My husband and I were starting to suspect that Mike was suffering from lead poisoning. It is important to note that his mercury was at an undetectable level; I will discuss this in more detail later.

We then began the standard course of treatment to remove the lead from Mike’s body. This involved giving him DMSA (Chemet) for 2 1/2 weeks. Within a short time, we noticed better receptive language and better attention. He also was less “zoned out.” We felt we were on the right track, but we were not sure where the track would eventually take us.

Over the next four months, we did not see any additional improvements in Mike; and obviously, we wanted much more. We repeated the 2 1/2-week course of DMSA, then let his hair grow out. His lead level was much lower this time, but it was still at an unacceptable level. Interestingly, his mercury level was extremely high; but at this time in our lives, we were focusing on the lead.

Although Mike was getting better, slowly, he was still quite autistic. I knew I was missing something, but I did not know what it was. I then reviewed all of Mike’s test results, and the high mercury level from his last hair test made me start to think. I knew that mercury was highly neurotoxic, and I knew that many vaccines contained the preservative thimerosal. I decided to add up all of the mercury to which Mike was exposed through his vaccinations, not considering other possible sources of mercury, such as fish. When I did, I discovered that he had received 212.5 mcg of mercury, which far exceeds any government standard for mercury exposure in adults.

At this time, I did not, nor did others, understand what had happened to Mike. Since he was exposed to extremely high amounts of mercury, why didn’t his first hair test indicate a high mercury level? Why did later hair analyses, performed after DMSA treatment, indicate a high mercury level? I wouldn’t know these answers for a few more years.

However, I did know our next course of action—get the mercury out of him! Before we started another course of DMSA, I had a developmental psychologist evaluate him. Mike was now 4 1/2 years old, had no expressive language, was constantly stimming, and rarely interacted socially. His language level was less than two years, and he was also behind in cognitive and fine motor skills. His only age-level skill was gross motor. Additionally, his developmental quotient (DQ) was 58, which indicated moderate mental retardation.

With help and support from Dr. Cave, I followed the Defeat Autism Now! Protocol. We cleaned up Mike’s gut because he was loaded with yeast and Clostridium (bacteria). We also gave him numerous nutritional supplements. We then did a provoked urine DMSA challenge, and the mercury poured out of him. A stool test also indicated that he was excreting huge amounts of mercury, as well as other heavy metals. Our little boy, we discovered, was the “king of metals.” We decided to place him on an aggressive chelation program.

Within a short period of time, Mike’s social and cognitive skills began to improve by leaps and bounds, and his stimming behavior decreased to almost nothing—but it was still there.

When Mike was five years and seven months old, I had him re-evaluated by the same developmental psychologist. In only 13 months, he had gained 20 months in language and 21 months in cognition. His DQ was now 80, a gain of 22 points. Mike was not just beginning to develop, he was slowly catching up with his age level. As you can imagine, my husband and I were thrilled beyond belief.

In July, 2001, at age six years and eight months, Mike no longer met the full criteria for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). His receptive language, cognition, and fine and gross motor skills were at age level. Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! However, he is still two years behind in expressive language, and on rare occasions he still likes to “stim.”

Mike now has severe attention deficit disorder. He has no problem attending when he is interested in something, but non-interesting things cannot hold his attention. He reads at grade level, and believe it or not, is a math whiz. He participates in limited conversations, plays with other children sometimes, and likes to ride bikes and scooters. He has a great deal of trouble paying attention in a classroom setting, and a resource teacher offers him extra assistance with reading and language. It is very difficult for him to focus and stay on task.

Initially, Dr. Cave and I thought Mike was the only one with such a high mercury level. But at around the same time, Sallie Bernard, Lyn Redwood, and others started to argue, quite convincingly, that mercury is likely to be a major contributing factor to autism. At that point, Dr. Cave and I realized that Mike was only one of many, many, many children.

Since February 2000, I have been working with Dr. Cave. Our main focus is to treat those with ASD who have laboratory evidence of mercury toxicity. Basically, we follow the Defeat Autism Now! Protocol. We first work on cleaning up the gut and figuring out what nutritional supplements these patients need. After this is done, they receive DMSA alone until the mercury is flushed out of their bodies; then they receive DMSA with lipoic acid to remove the mercury from their brains.

We are also collecting data in order to learn as much as we can about the effectiveness of the Defeat Autism Now! Protocol. We are finding that younger children respond much faster than older children, and younger children do much better in the long run than older children and adults. In other words, the earlier the mercury is removed from their bodies and brains, the better their prognosis. Furthermore, those who were normal at birth and later regressed into autism do much better than those who were different from birth.

In 2002, I conducted a study that provides insight into the mercury problem in autism. With help from Drs. Bernard Rimland and Steve Edelson from the Autism Research Institute, I was able to obtain first-cut baby hair from normal children from around the country. I compared the mercury levels in these samples to the mercury levels in children with ASD. The findings were very consistent, and almost unbelievable. The baby hair from normal children contained a low-level amount of mercury, whereas the baby hair from autistic children contained almost no mercury at all. According to Dr. Boyd Haley of the University of Kentucky, this provides clear evidence that many autistic children cannot excrete mercury from their bodies. An excellent example would be my son, Mike, whose first hair analysis indicated no mercury. Once he began receiving DMSA, the mercury poured out of him.

I also found that mothers of autistic children were more likely than other mothers to have numerous mercury amalgams, and that they were more likely to have received RhoGAM, which once contained mercury, during their pregnancies. (RhoGAM is given to Rh-negative pregnant women.) Fortunately, according to the 2002 edition of the Physician’s Desk Reference, RhoGAM and all other Rho D immunoglobulins no longer contain mercury.

Mike is not unique among autistic children. In fact, I have often achieved better results with my other patients than I have with my own son. The younger the child when treatment begins, the better the chance of improvement or even complete recovery.

There is no simple "A" causes "B" explanation for autism, but there is certainly much to say about the connection between mercury and autism. I always find "conversion" stories interesting, such as this one where a mainstream doctor has their eyes opened to a very different way of looking at health and disease.

Looking at an anecdotal instance of vaccine adverse reactions

50 Things Your Doctor Failed To Tell You about Vaccines

Gary Kohls, MD

March 6th 2008

“All the available evidence shows that the decline of the infectious diseases was due (not to the vaccines but) to social factors, hygiene, sanitation, housing, nutrition, etc.”

 

Smallpox

Smallpox would have disappeared around 1870 if Jenner’s cronies had not persuaded Parliament to force the smallpox vaccine onto children in 1867, causing the largest epidemic of smallpox ever with a peak of 42,000 deaths in 1872. To test the effectiveness of natural immunity versus vaccination, the non-vaccinated Kingston Clinic staff challenged six vaccinated doctors to join them, in 1936, in a smallpox isolation unit. The doctors had the very good sense not to accept the offer.

The degree of AIDS incidence in Brazil, Haiti, Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zaire Zambia, Uganda and Malawi coincides with the degree of smallpox vaccination intensity.

Polio

American health authorities are considering a complete change of policy in the face of strong evidence that all cases of polio are caused by the polio vaccine. Bernard Reis, English professor at Cornell University and an “energetic, athletic achiever” was paralyzed by polio a month after his baby was, by law, polio-vaccinated.

1.1 million dollars damages were awarded to Kay McNeary after she was crippled by polio alter changing her baby’s nappy.

Millions of children, in the fifties and sixties, were given the Salk vaccine contaminated with the cancer-causing virus SV40. Dr F Klinner stated, “Many here voice a silent view that the Salk and Sabin vaccines, being made of monkey tissues, have been directly responsible for the major increase of leukemia in this country.”

The Lancet reported an outbreak of paralytic polio in Oman in fully vaccinated children. The vaccine lobby said what was needed was an increase of the vaccine dose at birth, 6, 10 and 14 weeks, and at times of other vaccines being given.

Tuberculosis

The World’s largest vaccine trial, in Southern India, of the BCG vaccine, resulted in more TB in the vaccinated group than in the control group.

DPT

The whooping cough vaccine is made from the mucus of infected children, mixed with formaldehyde, aluminum and mercury. In a recent study of 540 Dutch babies, 512 had adverse reactions to the DPT vaccines. Thirty-thousand cases of diphtheria have occurred in recent years, in the UK, amongst diphtheria vaccinated children.

A University of California study showed that 1,000 SIDS (cot deaths) per year are caused by the DPT shots. Dr Robert Mendelsohn, pediatrician, said, “…nearly 10,000 SIDS each year” (in the USA) ” are related to the vaccines routinely given to children.”

In 1986 Dr Michael Weiner PhD. stated, “More die each year from SIDS than the total number of all AIDS cases since 1981, yet little research money has been allocated to study the possibility of a relationship between these deaths and the DPT vaccine.”

MMR

Over a period of four years, in the UK, 66% of all measles cases were in vaccinated children. In a 1986 measles outbreak in Corpus Christi, Texas, 99% of the children had been vaccinated. 26% of children rubella-vaccinated developed arthralgia or arthritis.

(US Science magazine.) Trials on the rubella vaccine, in the USA and Australia, show a failure rate of between 80 and 93%.

Dr Glen Dettman found that one third of rheumatoid arthritis sufferers had live rubella viruses in their joints. The Lancet reported that West German authorities had listed 27 neurological reactions to the mumps vaccine, including meningitis, febrile convulsions and epilepsy. There are 30,000 new cases of epilepsy; 10,000 of which are children, in the UK alone, each year.

Hepatitis B

The hepatitis B vaccine is made from the blood of human beings infected with hepatitis B; ie someone at high risk of developing AIDS. A Lancet study of 1991 showed a 20% hepatitis infection rate in 358 hepatitis-vaccinated Gambian children.

HIB

A. Minnesota study showed that the American Hib “polysaccharide” vaccine increased the risk of Hib-induced meningitis five-fold. The Lancet, August 1991, reported 9 cases of Hib-induced meningitis in vaccinated children.

A study on the least useless Hib vaccine – the PRP-OMPC – in Los Angeles found a lowering of antibody response as vaccine dosage increased.

Influenza

The Post Office dropped influenza vaccine promotion after it failed to show any reduction in absenteeism. The “Influenza Monitoring and Information Bureau” is funded by the influenza vaccine manufacturers. Six hundred elderly, influenza-vaccinated Birmingham people showed over double the respiratory disease than a similar non- vaccinated group.

Dr Robert Mendelsohn stated that any influenza vaccine could cause Guillain-Barre Syndrome and paralysis. Influenza vaccines are made from material taken from ‘flu victims; material then processed with mashed chick embryos, taken from disease-ridden intensive battery sheds. In November 1991, a Chesterfield man died within hours of being injected with the vaccine.

Typhoid

The typhoid vaccine is made from the excrement of typhoid-infected people.

Cholera

The World Health Organization has finally admitted, after countless cholera jabs, that the vaccine is useless, and has advised that, “It is not worth having.”

In General

Known and suspected effects of vaccines include, asthma, eczema, increased allergies, encephalitis, cancer, leukemia, cot death, meningitis, lower motor neuron disease, juvenile diabetes, violent behavior, and so on.

American medical historian, Harris Coulter, writing in ‘Vaccination, Social Violence and Criminality’ states, “A large proportion of the millions of US children suffering from autism, seizures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, dyslexia and other shoots and branches of the hydra-headed entity called “developmental disabilities”, owe their disorders to one or another of the vaccines against childhood diseases.”

According to Dr R de Long, “Since 1981 we have been immunizing the human population with attenuated (live) viral vaccines en mass. Such unparalleled use. . . may be the reason for the appearance of new diseases.” We now have 20,000 new diseases, and rising.

Vaccine makers, acting through corrupt bureaucrats, politicians and mass media agents, have always been able to pass off their wares after fraudulent animal testing; the human being is the real guinea-pig.

Dr J A Morris, leading US infectious disease expert declared, “We only hear about the encephalitis and the deaths, but there is an entire spectrum between fever and death, and it’s all those things in between that never get reported.” -

Dr R Mendelsohn said, “There now exists a growing theoretical concern which links immunization to the huge increase, in recent decades, of auto-immune diseases, eg rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lymphoma and leukemia. “According to Dr Duperrat, “…vaccination causes, furthermore, an explosion of leukemia.”

A report in the Revue de Pathologie et de Physiologie Clinique, stated, “The vaccine modifies the terrain of the vaccinated, driving it towards alkaline and oxidized terrain; the terrain of cancer, the fact can no longer be ignored.”

Dr R Moskowitz, writing in the Journal of the American Institute of Homeopaths stated that vaccination could arouse latent, cell- bound, antibody immune viruses, leading, through stress or shock to “autonomous multiplication of cells, ie. cancer.”

Professor R Simpson, of the American Cancer Society, said that vaccines may cause rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Parkinson’s Disease, and cancer.

All the available evidence shows that the decline of the infectious diseases was due to social factors, hygiene, sanitation, housing, nutrition, etc.

Dr Moskowitz suggests that there are “fewer greater insults one can offer the immune system of a young child than to introduce, directly into his/her bloodstream, the foreign proteins or live viruses that compose modern Vaccines.”

And finally, if doctor, his receptionist, nurse and the “health visitor” cannot bully, threaten and arm-twist 90% of mothers on doctor’s list into having their offspring permanently damaged with vaccines, doctor will not get his annual bonus – on top of everything else — of £1,737.

Correcting the record on some widely spread myths about Vaccine History.

A good illustration about how the vaccine "debate" is run more on politics and emotions than on a process of objective scientific observation and reflection. vaccination debate
