U.N. Convention on the Rights of a Child

This is not a time to sit still and wait. Please pass this on. Post it to your blogs. It is serious for our entire nation. Tell family members and grandparents to act. Even if they do not home educate, they will see the seriousness of this situation.

To All Home Educators,

For a number of years I have been monitoring a very important treaty; U.N. Convention on the Rights of a Child.

Originally prepared for the Senate ratification by the Bush Administration (Bush Sr), this treaty was prevented by conservative Senator Jesse Helms.

This treaty is probably one of the most dangerous documents to parents and their rights to direct the education of their children. One of my main concerns with the election of Obama was the appointment of Hillary Clinton as Sec of State. For years she has been determined to bring this treaty forward (while as 1st Lady). And now, with the power in Congress and Whitehouse, this now a very real issue. Today I received an important email from parentalrights.org (founded by HSLDA founder Michael Farris):

SENATOR BOXER ASKS STATE DEPARTMENT TO EXPEDITE THE U.N. CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD

After Ambassador Susan Rice s inability to make an iron-clad commitment for immediate ratification, Boxer will ask Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for U.S. support of the UNCRC.
The U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which opponents say could destroy American sovereignty by imposing international rulings on American law, could reach the Senate within 60 days. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) says she wants a 60-day timeframe for the State Department to complete its review so the Senate can move toward ratification of the UNCRC.
During the Senate Confirmation hearing between Boxer and UN
Ambassador-designate Susan Rice held on January 15, 2009, Boxer told Rice the UNCRC would protect the most vulnerable people of society.
Opponents vehemently disagree. Under the Supremacy Clause (Article VI) of the U.S. Constitution, ratified treaties preempt state law. Since virtually all laws in the U.S. regarding children are state laws, this treaty would negate nearly 100% of existing American family law. Moreover, it would grant the government authority to override parental decisions by applying even to good parents a standard now only used against those convicted of abuse or
neglect.
In the hearing, Rice promised to review the treaty but noted challenges of domestic implementation. Rice also resisted a strict time frame: I don’t have a sense of how long it will take us, in light of the many different things on our plate, she said.
Calling it a complicated treaty, Rice expressed her commitment to the treaty s objectives, but when Rice concluded that she could not meet the Senator strict time frame, Boxer said they would take it up with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
In light of this news, many are asking us, What can I do to help stop this treaty and preserve parental rights and American sovereignty? The answer is, become a PRO-Active 10-and-2 Representative. Petition signatures will help. Sending emails, post cards, or phone calls to your Congressman and Senators will help more. But signing up as a 10-and-2 Representative will do so much more.
First, instead of just one signature, you will recruit 10 in addition to your own. Instead of 1 post card or call to each representative, you will generate 11 (including yourself). Most importantly, though, 10-and-2 Reps recruit 2 more people to do the same thing, so we grow exponentially. We know you can t invest 40 hours a week and collect hundreds of signatures, but you can have that same impact in just 2-4 hours as a PRO-Active 10-and-2 Representative.

Vaccine Link

I know there has been a lot of controversy over vaccines as we have discussed our thoughts on this before. Here is a link that a friend of ours has posted. It is an important post by Steve and Paula Runyan on vaccines. I know everyone may not agree, but we think that it is important enough to get this information out there. Then you can decide. By the way if you have not been by Steve and Paula’s Blog in a while you should do so. The have a lot of good post going up over there. Happy Hanukkah to everyone.

Dont Sign Vaccine Waivers at Dr.’s Office

Here is a letter going around from the

Vaccination Liberation home page

signing a waiver saying you know the risks about not vaccinating may put you at risk of them using it against you later. Here is what was said in the letter to Anthony D. Romero:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To: Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director, American Civil Liberties Union

We are asking that the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) take action against vaccination waivers. Parents should have the right not to vaccinate their children by simply saying “no”. Those that refuse to vaccinate are currently forced into signing a waiver that has language which blames the parents and practically praises vaccine makers.

Know Your Rights

By endorsing this particular waiver, parents would essentially be signing an admittance of neglect and or “abuse” for refusing vaccines. The language contained in this waiver could put parents and caregivers in jeopardy down-the-line if they should ever find themselves in the courts due to their child’s health problems, when confronted with child protective services, divorce, or just about any matter pertaining to that child that could be used against the parent(s).

Do Vaccines Work?

Example One:

According to a report printed by The Lancet (21/9/1991), a polio outbreak began in Oman between the years of 1988 and 1989. This is significant because a polio outbreak occurred despite the children being vaccinated prior to the outbreak. Curiously, the region with the highest attack rate had the highest vaccine coverage, while the region with the lowest attack rate had the lowest vaccine coverage.

Example Two:

Sweden abandoned the whooping cough vaccine in 1979. Why? Out of 5,140 cases of whooping cough in 1978, it was found that 84 percent had been vaccinated at least three times. You may find this report in the BMJ 283:696-697, 1981.

Pay-outs

More than $1.1 billion in claims have been paid by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to parents of children affected by vaccines. On average, each family received nearly a million dollars each. Sadly, the claims by the parents had to fit in the programme’s extremely narrow definitions in order to qualify for compensation.

Naughty CDC

The CDC Vaccine Advisory Committee and its members get money from vaccine manufacturers.

They own stock in vaccine companies and get paid to conduct research.

As of 2003, the CDC has had 28 licensing agreements with companies and at least one university for vaccines.

Vaccines once endorsed by the CDC were pulled off the market after infants (and even some adults) had serious reactions. People had to die for the CDC to admit wrongdoing.

Why Your Doctor May Not Care

Your doctor gets paid by the companies that supply the vaccines for each and every vaccine.

A 1993 federal “Immunization Initiative” gave States more than $400 million in vaccine incentives and a $100 bounty for each child vaccinated with the shots the federal government recommended.

You should know that according to the February 1981 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 90 percent of obstetricians and 66 percent of pediatricians refused to take the rubella vaccine, and in 1990 a British survey showed that over 50 percent of doctors in the UK rejected the Hepatitis B vaccine. (British Med Jnl, 27/1/90).

Check your State’s laws regarding exemption. Most States will allow you to avoid vaccinations if you have a religious or ethical reason. However – keep in mind that it is your right not to disclose your faith or your full reasons for not wanting to vaccinate your child.
Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Why We Don’t Vaccinate ~ Some of Our Reasons

In this post we will explain why have chosen to stop vaccinating our children. We have made this long thought out decision for several reasons. We will list some of the main ones that come to mind here, but this is not a complete list, as we would need a separate web page for just vaccination. We are opposed to vaccinations for a combination of reasons. But like most families that oppose vaccinations, it is offensive that the Government would try to mandate their beliefs on us. Trying to take away our liberty and parental rights.

First and for most we trust in YHWH in all things, before mans ways. We trust in the immune system that YHWH has designed in us. We also, knowing this is a fallen and cursed world, know that sickness and disease will attack. We trust in YWHW to keep us well, but if we are attacked with sickness we put our trust in YHWH for our health renewed. When we take “preemptive” measures like vaccines, we seem to say “We trust you YHWH… but just in case you don’t come through…. I’ll take these vaccines”. If we act in this way, we are saying we have more faith in the sickness getting us, than in YHWH’s ability to keep us.

Secondly we believe that life begins at conception, with out exception. With that being the case, we can not be a part of anything that condones or even gives a silent nod of approval to the abortion industry. Many vaccines have human cells derived (grown) from cells taken from aborted fetal tissue (MURDERED BABIES). They try to condone this by saying it was from “cell strands from the 1960’s”! As if because the murder happened long ago it makes it ok to put into my childrens viens. I DON’T THINK SO! Here are a few vaccines that have “Murdered Baby Tissue” in them:

1. Poliovax – ipv
2. MMR – Measles Mumps & Rubella
3. Chickenpox shot
4. rabies
5. mumps (some)
6. smallpox (some)
7. Biavax [Rubella and Mumps]–Merck and Co.
8. ImoVax [Rabies] — Connaught Laboratories
9. Havrix [Hepatitis A]–SmithKline Beecham
10. Meruvax II [Rubella]–Merck and Co.
11. M-R Vax [Measles and Rubella] — Merck and Co.

This can be seen in the package inserts – referred to as “diploid cells” Here is what they have tried to say, to make it sound ok that they are using Murdered Babies. (my comments in black)

Two different strains of human diploid cell cultures made from fetuses have been used extensively for vaccine production for decades. One was developed in the United States in 1961 ( called WI-38 ) and the other in the United Kingdom in 1966 (called MRC-5 ).

WI-38 came from lung cells from a female fetus of 3-months gestation and MRC-5 was developed from lung cells from a 14-week-old male fetus. Both fetuses were intentionally aborted, but neither was aborted for the purpose of obtaining diploid cells. (So that makes it ok to prophet off of it?). The fetal tissues that eventually became WI-38 and the MRC-5 cell cultures were removed from fetuses that were dead. The cellular biologists who made the cell cultures did not induce the abortions. (Like that makes it ant better?)

These two cell strains have been growing under laboratory conditions for more than 35 years. The cells are merely the biological system (it must make it easier on the conscience to not say… The cells are merely the skin of dead babies!) in which the viruses are grown. These cell strains do not and cannot form a complete organism and do not constitute a potential human being (No they are just taken from one that was murdered!). The cells reproduce themselves, so there is no need to abort additional fetuses (Babies) to sustain the culture supply. Viruses are collected from the diploid cell cultures and then processed further to produce the vaccine itself.

For more information on this:
http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/abortedtissue.htm

Parents try to make informed decisions. We visit schools or day care facilities ahead of time, to see that our children are going to be ok there. We also read food labels, so we can make informed choices about what our children eat. Yet there are so many that do not take the time to ask for the inserts that come with every vaccine. If they read them carefully they could make an informed choice rather than injecting in the dark.

With some vaccines you are not supposed to receive them if you have or someone in your family has a milk allergy/sensitivity. But many Dr.s and Nurses do not even read the inserts enough, or don’t care to let you know this before they assure you everything is ok… “just take the shot and I collect more money” attitude. Truth be told many are not out just for the money but they are blindly following what their professional leaders command… vaccinate the masses.

Not to mention the idea is appalling that people willingly are putting mercury (Thirmosul), formaldehyde, aluminum, and neomycin in their children. Neomycin, streptomycin & erythromycin are related. Erythromycin is used as an alternative to penicillin, it (erythromycin) is not as toxic as the other two ( Neomycin, streptomycin ) so if you are allergic to one of the three you could be allergic to all three not knowing this could be bad.

Also these vaccines work by using a adjuvant. The adjuvant in vaccine is pro-inflammatory; i.e., neurologically excitotoxic. That is intentional so as to boost the effectiveness of the vaccine. The problem comes about when giving so many of them at once, which can injure even a perfectly healthy child. Giving multiple adjuvants is like playing Russian roulette with a child’s brain. Read the full post on this we posted here (this is a must read in my opinion).

It also is troubling they have a one size fits all dosage. No matter the body weight. Even cough medicine over the counter goes by age/body weight.

Many times when there is a reaction to a vaccine, the doctors do not know what to do. We have seen this first hand. We had vaccinated our first child (Judah) on schedule. Then when we were half way through vaccinating our second child (Serenity Rose) she had a bad reaction to the vaccines. That evening she continued to swell at the point of injection, and the leg was hot to the touch. It did not go down and by morning it was worse. We took her back to Tanana Valley Clinic, and they didn’t know what to do, they were at a complete loss. They eventually said “well, if it gets any worse, take her to the Emergency room at the Hospital” (trying to pass it off to someone else). Later that day it continued to grow more inflamed. We took her this time to the ER as instructed. After over an hour of the DR.’s checking and conferring amongst themselves, they still acted as if they had never seen this before and hadn’t a clue. With our daughters thigh nearing twice the normal diameter. They decided to send us home to “watch” and give her benedryl. This event like most, likely never got reported to the CDC, as all vaccine related reactions are supposed to. After this we found out people with milk allergies or sensitivities are not supposed to receive certain vaccines. This would have made a big difference as she and several in our family don’t “do milk”. After this we began researching vaccines, and have never given a child of ours a vaccine again, in light of what we have learned. Especially since in the inserts, that come with many vaccines, it states that “if anyone in a family has had a reaction to the vaccinations” the rest of the family should not be vaccinated. But Dr’s often do not cover any thing like this with people before they vaccinate. And many when you ask them they do not have a clue until they get the inserts out and read them with you. We have seen this too.

Besides the government still refuses to do non biased studies that look at the effects of the total vaccines given to a child. The fox is guarding the hen house when they research, approve, regulate (sometimes mandate), and profit from their own work. Only our government could get away with a plan like that. If this trend continues, our country will continue to sink to new levels of control.

Here are some other factoids we have found that you might want to consider.

In a study of 103 children that died of SIDS, 70% died within 3 weeks of the DPT vaccine. And 37% of those died within the first week.

Compared to the fear they try to instill into you, to vaccinate, when for instance the death rate for measles is .03 in 100,000. Also polio only 10 % of those expose get it. Polio was on a natural decline while they introduced the vaccine and the number of cases rose before they could get them to go down again.

Pertussis (whooping cough) is covered by the DPT shot and has been on the schedule for years, and now they have a big campaign saying it is on the rise. How can this be??? they have been vaccinating everyone for it, so how can these kids be getting it? and now saying parents & adults may need to be vaccinated again. Could it be the vaccine isn’t working good enough?

The Chickenpox shot is given as a convenience to parents who may miss to much work from tending their children, and schools like it because they miss out on lots of money when students are not in school. When you get chickenpox naturally you gain a life long immunity to it. The shot was supposed to be the same, then years later said you may need a booster ever 10 years. Now they say every 8 years. It isn’t working as good as they were in hopes. When you get it as a kid it is generally mild and livable. As an adult it is much more difficult, and if children grow up and can not afford medical coverage for some reason this leaves them vulnerable to get a much worse case. Will this be the case with other vaccines as time goes on?

Also the New England Journal of Medicine via MedPage Today – “Most patients who contracted mumps in Iowa and seven other highly affected states had received two doses of mumps vaccine (63% overall and 84% of those 18 to 24), reported Amy A. Parker, M.S.N., M.P.H., of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.

A link on autism and vaccines

Here is an excellent post on the Age of Autism web site.
http://www.ageofautism.com/2007/11/firing-back-at.html

Where is Einstein?

Where have all the great minds gone? Why don’t we have any modern day Einstein’s? We have such great knowledge at our fingertips via computers and the net. Yet as we boast of such knowledge, we as a generation lack the great minds and thinkers, of generations past. The knowledge we have is accumulative, thanks to the internet. Not the thoughts of one person alone.

Could it be that the unknown millions of people Aborted could have been one of those who would have found the cure to cancer. Or the Family, that out of convenience used birth control to keep from having more children, meanwhile killing their unborn babies chemically in the womb. Could it be we lost our great mathematician to this? Only so both parents could work to have a better car?

Not to mention the children lost in the shuffle between Government School, School Spots, Day Care, and Friends…. only having 1-2 hours a night with the parents who should be giving the children the love and support they need to dream big, and not loose the love of learning.

Or is it possible that when parents rush to vaccinate their kids, because of the fear driven government propaganda machine. They end up with children with ADHD or even Autism? Instead of Great physicians and Poets?

While many other children are left to Government Schools to ruin their love of learning. Or if they show signs of being to creative or just not the mindless drones the schools want they often pump them full of drugs to make them easier to handle. All in all the schools job seems to be, the mass production of as many mindless happy go lucky Walmart workers as possible. Not that working at “Walmart” is bad, but is that is all we want for our children? It could easily be “any company name”, the point is there is the push to put out worker bee’s and not real thinkers or leaders.

We have sold out our children… but for what? Progress? Money? Our own wants? Was it really worth it?

A post I found about “Autism and Vaccines”

Here is a post I wish I had written, but found this while doing research for another post you will see soon. In the mean time they said that it was ok to copy it with a link. So hope you get some good information from it too, the link is at the bottom. It is a LOooooOOng one NaturalNews) On April 2, 2008 CNN spent the day bringing awareness to the problem of autism. Larry King’s segment, which included Jenny McCarthy along with a panel of guests, was particularly enlightening. My hat is off to Jenny, a celebrity mother who is making it quite uncomfortable for the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to ignore parents of autistic children seeking answers. Why does a mom have to do the work of the CDC? The answer is rather simple: our government’s zeal to insist on too many vaccines while ignoring the actual risks is the driving force behind the autism tragedy. Sure there are many related factors – but the bottom line is that our government is causing disease at an alarming and devastating pace. It is an interesting comment on our society that an outspoken and impassioned mother of an autistic child, along with her partner (actor Jim Carrey), are the catalysts that are likely to cause a warped empire to crumble. Many before them have tried; and typically been burned at the stake. Jenny and Jim are the government’s worst nightmare. They can’t shut down their medical practice because they don’t have one. They can’t financially damage them into silence. And as they lead their autism March on Washington D.C. this June 4th it is quite clear that they haven’t a prayer of shutting them up. A powder keg is about to blow. Jenny, to her credit, takes a diplomatic view on vaccines. Here main point is that there are too many vaccines given too soon and that the vaccines contain too many toxic components. As both a leading defender of health freedom in this country and a top nutritionist who has helped numerous autistic children, I am more than happy to put the entire problem into perspective and give insights that will help many parents

A Brief History of Vaccines, Profits, and Politics

Vaccines started the Big Pharma sickness industry over 100 years ago. While the public views vaccines in a preventive health context our government’s position is much more complex. Vaccines and germs are part of warfare, and the issue is deeply woven into national security interests. Military personnel are frequently subjected to experimental vaccines. Vaccines are a key component of herd mentality; i.e., the ability of those in power to get a population to behave. Public health is never in the best interest of any one person, which is why laws are concocted to enforce compliance. Unelected bureaucrats and scientists in our government agencies, tied financially to the profits of the drug industry and linked to the military, have been playing God for many decades. They know full well there will be deaths and injuries from vaccinations; collateral damage that is justified by prevented disease (a convenient and fear-driven argument). Our government has no problem manipulating data so that the benefits appear to outweigh the risks. Imagine having a calculator that always has the same conclusion no matter what data is entered. How can the risk of injuring 1 in 150 children for life be acceptable to Big Pharma and the revolving door CDC and FDA management? Any business would love to have the opportunity to produce a product and have the government mandate its sale. Government officials find lucrative jobs in the industries they regulate – after doing “good work.” Autism is partly a side effect of the cancer within government agencies. Our government will never pay the price to screen children at risk for autism – that would be too proactive and expensive on the front end. They won’t even prepare a reasonable patient history checklist that reflects obvious risk for vaccine injury – as too many parents would opt out. Rather, our government specializes in lazy medicine – fire a shotgun and if someone gets injured it is their fault for standing there. Costs are now the burden of families on the back end of the equation; more profits for the sickness industry. If autism didn’t have painful little faces connected with it this problem would simply be swept under the rug, as is the 100,000 Americans (mostly elderly) killed by Big Pharma drugs every year. The problem for our government is that an admission of guilt on the autism-vaccine link causes the entire paradigm of the Big Pharma-driven Western-medicine sickness industry to collapse. Even worse in their eyes, it would send an earthquake through the brotherhood of Big Pharma, public health, the CDC, the FDA, the global elite, and the military. Other public health programs would be questioned – like polluting our water with a neurotoxin called fluoride that makes a population more docile and controllable. Unfortunately for parents combating autism, the problems of their child is only a portion of the issue they now must try to solve. They are up against a government dead set on preventing the truth from ever coming out. Once cornered, our government will play the national security card before fessing up to their sins or making any real effort to correct the damage they have done.

A Major Crack in Our Government’s Armor

The case of Hannah Poling is raising quite a stir. She is now 9 years old. As a healthy and normally developing 18-month-old girl she showed up for her well baby visit and was pummeled with 9 vaccinations, two of them containing the mercury preservative known as thimerosal. Her health immediately deteriorated into full blown autism. Her case was the first to be settled of 4,900 autism cases pending before federal Vaccine Court. She claimed that mercury-containing vaccines were the cause of her autism. In a shocking turn of events the federal government conceded this autism case saying that “compensation is appropriate.” However, our government refused to admit vaccines caused her autism. Indeed, the government settled the case before there was even a hearing. The last thing the government wants is to put vaccines on public trial, and place pictures of injured children on the news every night, especially when the evidence of the case is so clear that vaccines will certainly lose. Rather, the CDC is hinting that it was Hannah’s mitochondria that were to blame, not the vaccines. This argument opens another Pandora’s box (more on that later). The defendant in all vaccine cases is the Department of Health and Human Services. The CDC is part of the Department of Health and Human Services. Talk about conflict of interest! A pack of foxes is in charge of the national chicken coop.

How Our Government Defends Itself When It Is Clearly Wrong

It is somewhat unfortunate that those who have helped to champion the cause of our government’s involvement in vaccine injury have placed so many eggs in the thimerosal basket. Of course mercury is a nerve toxin and its involvement in autism is likely as a percentage of the problem. However, neither thimerosal nor any single vaccine is an adequate overall explanation for autism. Our government is using various studies to deflect the vaccine-autism link. These studies relate to thimerosal and MMR vaccines, but not to the collective number of vaccines given at one time and the overall number of vaccines given so early in life (the real problem). This flimsy government defense is being used to deflect attention away from vaccines as a causative link to autism. (Read their vaccine studies here: http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/vaccines.htm) This is a classic stalling tactic used by corrupt government and industry when they have been caught red-handed. This approach involves acknowledging certain aspects of the problem, making changes (they took thimerosal out of many vaccines), creating doubt (their “study” defense), and then continuing with the mass vaccination program even though they know it causes harm. This strategy will deflect most of the legal liability from vaccine-related injury, delaying it and then minimizing it over time. A legion of government-funded scientists can be paraded in a courtroom for decades with the sole purpose of creating doubt and delaying taking responsibility for the problem. An admission of guilt opens a floodgate of liability lawsuits. They think their skimpy studies give them breathing room so that they can now direct attention elsewhere to mysterious possibilities like genetics or environmental toxins that will also take them decades to figure out. True enough, these issues are also a percentage of the problem – so much so that they can be used to confuse the vaccine link for a long time. The government’s defense is always that more research is needed. This is not research that proves what they are doing is safe before they continue to do it; it is research that proves what they are doing is harmful before they stop doing it. Unfortunately, behind closed doors they cherry pick their research results as well as what they choose to study. In the mean time these unelected bureaucrats continue to unabashedly administer a vaccine program that injures and kills. Most societies would either call this murder or involuntary manslaughter. Why don’t we hear Bush, McCain, Clinton, or Obama weighing in on this issue? Why don’t they stand on stage with a group of autistic children and tell mothers everywhere how important vaccines are? When the Hannah Polling case got on the radar map and blew up in the government’s face, a damage control press conference was held. Dr. Julie Gerberding, Director of the CDC, stated, “There’s absolutely nothing changed in the adamant recommendations that we are making to get children vaccinated. This is proven to save lives and is an essential component of health protection for children across America and the world.” Dr. Gerberding should be the first to stand trial. ((http://www.cdc.gov/od/oc/media/transcri…)

Why Vaccines are a Problem

It is quite clear that the rate of autism in this country is directly time-associated with the increased numbers of vaccines given to children. The explosion in autism between 1987 and 1992 coincides with the tripling in the numbers of vaccines given to our children. While such data is not proof of cause and effect, it is significant and cannot be ignored by any responsible parent (it is ignored by the government and medical profession). Numerous parents report taking their healthy child to the doctor, getting a barrage of vaccinations, having their child run a high fever, and their child never again being the same. THAT IS THE REAL PROBLEM THAT PARENTS SEE WITH THEIR OWN TWO EYES. The current government strategy is to keep arguing about thimerosal and MMR vaccines – as they know they can create enough doubt to win that argument in the majority of the scientific community. What the government does not want to discuss is the adjuvant in vaccines – which will clearly be shown to be the autism trigger. Vaccines contain weakened “signatures” of a disease. By themselves they are not strong enough for the immune system to mount a response. This problem is solved by adding a “booster” compound called an adjuvant. An adjuvant does not contain any signature of the disease. Rather, the adjuvant initiates an inflammatory reaction (the first step in any immune response). The idea is to get the immune system revved up so that it can see the weakened disease and learn what it looks like so that if it ever sees it again it will be more prepared to fight it. This concept, in and of itself, has validity – but only given the right set of circumstances. It is clear that those with autism have an excessively inflamed brain. If pressed, the CDC would likely argue that the brain inflammation is a result of the autism and that they need more studies to determine the cause. I will argue that they don’t need any more studies at all and that the cause is blatantly obvious based on an understanding of existing science. The multiple inflammatory insults from the adjuvant in vaccines, at a rate of 1 in 150 cases, sets the brain on fire and causes autism. As an aside, and to a lesser extent (but just as important to society), a minor brush fire causes ADHD and impaired intelligence.

How Your Brain Works

The crumbling paradigm of Western medicine likes to break down body function according to convenient classifications such as nerves, immunity, hormones, etc. In reality your brain is a central processor of all systems in your body and thus has connections that link nerves, immune function, and hormones into one symphony of function. In other words, it is not possible to study only neurotransmitters like serotonin or dopamine and actually understand what your brain is doing. Ten percent of the cells in your brain are neurotransmitter related. The other 90% are glial cells, also called astrocytes. For decades scientists thought that 90% of your brain was nothing more than a structural framework, simply because scientific tools were not adequate to understand what glial cells were doing, but that has changed in the past 10 years. Glial cells run your brain and your neurotransmitters. They are the brokers of all information coming into your brain – with direct links to your immune system and endocrine system (hormones). Glial cells are the inflammation brokers in your brain. When stress, a toxin pollutant, or a destructive food additive (like MSG, aspartame, or food coloring) enter your brain they induce excitotoxic reactions that inflame brain cells. This inflammation is buffered primarily by the hormone leptin and other antioxidants, a process that intimately involves the healthy function of glial cells. When the buffering anti-inflammatory capacity of glial cells is overloaded, then inflammation becomes chronic. Minimally, this results in brain wear and tear. It is the mechanism behind all accelerated brain aging and, depending on a person’s genetic weaknesses and other health issues, leads to various states of early cognitive decline and nerve-related diseases of aging such as Alzheimer’s. There is also a point at which low grade brain inflammation catches fire. In adults with an established nerve network this causes a “power outage” in the head, otherwise known as spreading depression. Such an event is typically triggered by emotional pain or physical pain of a prolonged nature or acute intensity (elevating substance P to abnormally high levels). Such trauma pushes struggling nerves over the edge. The difference in a fetus or small child is that the nervous system is still rapidly evolving. If the brain catches fire at this age proper development of the nerves can be seriously disturbed (the autism spectrum of disorders) or functionally impaired (ADHD, lower IQ). The adjuvant in vaccine is pro-inflammatory; i.e., neurologically excitotoxic. That is intentional so as to boost the effectiveness of the vaccine. The problem comes about when giving so many of them at once, which can injure even a perfectly healthy child. Giving multiple adjuvants is like playing Russian roulette with a child’s brain. Children with already inflamed nerves are at much higher risk for reacting to multiple vaccines, as their nerves have been conditioned to hyper-react. Don’t think for a moment that Dr. Gerberding and other scientists at the CDC aren’t fully aware of this issue.

Government Responsibility

Our government has the responsibility to prove the safety of any vaccination being recommended for broad public health, as part of an overall vaccine program. Our current knowledge of science, the immune system, and the brain would make it unlikely that broad vaccine programs could ever be approved for use today if they hadn’t being going on for so long. Our government is not only grossly negligent on the vaccine issue itself, but on numerous other true public health issues that pose a significant risk for brain inflammation in fetuses and children. The CDC, the EPA, and the FDA all play large roles in creating huge autism risk for our population. Space in this article only allows a few examples; there are many. Environmental pollution that is fat soluble can cross the placenta, exists in mother’s milk, or occurs in the general food supply fed to small children. Fat soluble toxins cross the blood-brain barrier and induce nerve inflammation. Huge public health risks include widespread contamination of our food supply with fat soluble PCB toxins, a problem that would cost at least 50 billion dollars to clean up. Another example of broad exposure is the neurotoxic pesticides used on food (originally Nazi nerve gas agents). Another example is the military’s poisoning of our water supply with perchlorate, a contaminant now found in breast milk of mothers across the country. This interferes with thyroid function in the baby, resulting in a serious risk for faulty brain development. Another example is iron fortification of baby formulas, which encourages the growth of hostile bacteria and Candida Albicans in the child’s digestive tract; organisms that produce neurotoxic waste products. Another example is the use of antibiotics before age 1, which also encourages the growth of the very same hostile bacteria and Candida. C-Section deliveries also increased the risk for a hostile digestive terrain in the baby. Candida itself directly communicates to and promotes inflammation in the human immune system causing it to malfunction. Yet another example is the widespread use of antidepressants by pregnant and nursing mothers, which drastically disturbs the evolving function of nerves and overall health of the fetus or baby. And then there is the vaccine preservative thimerosal (different than an adjuvant), which is a neuro-inflammatory in and of itself. And this is the short list. All of these issues play a role as a percentage of the problem that induces friction in the developing nervous system of a fetus, baby, or young child and primes the nerves to hyper-react to vaccines. Each of these problems is a true public health problem because they are caused by industry and are allowed to continue by various vested interests. Each one will take tens of billions of dollars to fix. However, that is actually the responsibility of government – to fix costly and broad public health problems – not to make them worse.

The Genetic Red-Herring

The case of Hannah Poling has forced our government to show its hand – and a very weak hand it is. They will continue to bluff and confuse the public with scientific gibberish in an effort to misdirect. Their defense in the Poling case, even though they conceded the case, is that the child had genetic mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria are the car engines in your cells that produce energy (ATP). ATP is the energy currency in your body, much like money in your wallet. You spend ATP, as needed, to do anything. Inflammation uses up ATP by causing your body to go into a hyper mode (like a 911 phone call). If ATP production is compromised then inflammation can run wild – contributing to the brain fire called autism. True mitochondrial gene mutations are too rare to explain autism, so the government is trying to blame this mechanism in the Poling case to deflect the idea that vaccines are a risk for the majority. What the government isn’t saying is that, independent of a true genetic issue, mitochondria can be taxed into a state of stress that predisposes any child to autism risk. You don’t need to have a gene mutation; that is simply a diversion and cover-up attempt. Furthermore, the glial cells in your brain use ATP to communicate, a separate function than energy currency. This means that any time you run low in overall body energy, brain function is compromised and tilted into a pro-inflammatory mode. This is why stress makes you tired and causes you to feel physical wear and tear. It is also why any time you exercise, which conditions your body to make ATP more efficiently, your head feels better. When glial cells run low on ATP they enter a low grade chronic inflammatory mode – a condition that seriously predisposes to vaccine injury.

Reducing the Risk for Adverse Vaccine Reactions

The bottom line for any parent is to not expose their child to vaccines under circumstances that are likely to increase the odds of a brain fire that results in autism. Fewer vaccines in general, not giving so many at once, and giving them at older ages are all common sense. Additionally, proper nutrition during pregnancy, during lactation, and the overall fitness and health habits of the mother have a profound effect on having a child with a stronger nervous system. It is quite clear that the obesity hormone leptin is elevated in the blood of autistic children. This is a risk factor linked to obesity in the mother with consequent abnormal fetal programming of the developing brain which is then handicapped to buffer inflammation from toxic exposure like vaccines. ((http://www.wellnessresources.com/newsro…) High leptin in the blood means that leptin isn’t getting into the brain. Leptin is the primary buffer in the brain against inflammatory excitotoxic damage. This is why boys have four times the rate of autism compared to girls. Girls have naturally higher levels of protective leptin in their brains, mostly to help them get pregnant and nurse their children in later life. My books on leptin (Mastering Leptin and The Leptin Diet) explain how leptin works in much greater detail. A mother’s health and eating habits, prior to and during pregnancy, play a large role in the health of her baby’s nervous system. ((http://www.wellnessresources.com/Books/…) Likewise, family stress during pregnancy and early childhood development are important to how a child processes stress and consequent nerve inflammation. Conflicts between husband and wife, in front of a child (including a child in the womb), primes nerves to be inflamed. Providing a stable environment for mother and child is a main reason for the family unit – and in my opinion the responsibility of men. Thus we see that there are multiple factors, some under your control and many that are not, acting in one way or another to prime the nerves into a chronic low-grade inflammatory state which sets the stage for increased risk of vaccine injury. One of the very worst times to vaccinate a child is directly after an illness or surgery – which are highly inflammatory events. Unfortunately, doctors don’t seem to understand health very well and it is often the case that the parent has brought the child to the doctor because of an illness or a follow up from some other medical procedure. At that time the doctor says “Oh, your vaccinations are not up to date.” And then gives them to a child who is already neurologically inflamed. Such medical malpractice is a disaster, and common in this country. Parents who have children with digestive problems, recurring infections, asthma, allergies, or any other sign of immune weakness should not vaccinate until such problems are fully resolved. These problems also indicate a high level of existing brain inflammation. It is pathetic that the CDC does not publish a list of guidelines for parents that would dramatically reduce the risk for vaccine injury (low cost and low tech). The “more research is needed” excuse is enough to make everyone vomit. Of course we could do far more by screening for inflammatory brain markers and immune system dysfunction ahead of any round of vaccines (high cost and high tech). The days of blindly vaccinating children according to a schedule, while ignoring the child’s state of existing nerve inflammation and immune system function are over. Parents should revolt. This is a national tragedy. The government’s vaccination program is indeed the cause of the autism epidemic. About the author: Byron J.

Amish and Autism

Amish and Autism

A recent survey by United Press found that autism is virtually unknown among Pennsylvania’s large Amish populations — a strong indication that vaccines are indeed a principal culprit of the epidemic.
