- Additives used in vaccines
Jul 12, 2011
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), millions of doses of vaccines are administered to children in this country each year. Ensuring that those vaccines are potent, sterile and safe requires the addition of minute amounts of chemical additives. Chemicals are added to vaccines to inactivate a virus or bacteria and stabilize the vaccine, helping to preserve the vaccine and prevent it from losing its potency over time. The amount of chemical...Read More - New TB vaccine looks promising, if a timing issue can be worked out

In recent news, “A new vaccine designed to fight tuberculosis is less effective when given alongside shots for other diseases, a study has found, suggesting child immunization programs in developing countries may need a rethink,” states one article. The vaccine in question is a tuberculosis vaccine called MVA85A. New data from clinical trials of the vaccine in babies in Gambia showed it was safe, but the immune response it prompted was lower in babies who...Read More - Difference Between Immunization And Vaccination

Most people do not realize that when you receive a shot or a vaccine it does not mean you are immunized. Many people believe that once you are vaccinated you are completely protected. That belief is wrong. The use of the word “immunization” instead of “vaccination” is everywhere. Most importantly, news outlets tell the public that immunization is the same as vaccination. However, there is a large difference between the two. Vaccines contain a dead or live weakened...Read More - No compensation program in Australia for vaccine victims

The risk of adverse effects with a vaccination are certainly a reality. Yet many parents still choose to vaccinate regardless of the risks involved. But, what happens when something does go wrong? Shouldn’t they be compensated for their pain and suffering? Many say absolutely yes. Actually, 19 countries have programs in place to help with this very thing. However, there are many countries that haven’t jumped on board yet, including Australia. But, what about children...Read More - Myasthenia Gravis- a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease
May 26, 2011
Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease characterized by varying degrees of weakness of the skeletal (voluntary) muscles of the body. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease because the immune system–which normally protects the body from foreign organisms–mistakenly attacks itself. The name myasthenia gravis, which is Latin and Greek in origin, literally means “grave muscle weakness.” Although myasthenia gravis may affect any voluntary muscle, muscles that control eye and eyelid movement, facial expression, and...Read More - Making the grade: how vaccines are manufactured

From the groundbreaking science of Louis Pasteur in the mid-19th century came hope and help in the fight against infectious disease. Cholera, rabies, anthrax and smallpox–all diseases that are rare today, ravaged the world claiming life after life. The mystery surrounding their cause brought deep-thinking scientists to a determination to find a cause and bring about a cure. Facing years of ridicule and struggle, Pasteur successfully developed vaccinations by discovering that weakened viruses–or those that...Read More - Vaccine related nerve damage, a toxic reaction
Feb 3, 2011
Nearly every vaccine approved by the FDA as safe and effective contains at least one neurotoxin. A neurotoxin is a chemical that causes permanent damage to cells (neurons) and structures (receptors and mitochondria) of the brain when it enters the human body. Once enough damage occurs, the symptoms of chronic disease develop. Since the central nervous system controls every single function in the human body, this damage can take on the symptoms of almost any...Read More - CDC and Big Pharma, a clear conflict of interest
Jan 18, 2011
It is an age-old and incredibly heated debate–the long standing fight between mercury in vaccines and whether or not it holds any link to an increased autism link. Ask anyone who feels strongly either way and it is easy to get a fight started. Since the release of a British study several years ago (which, was found to be highly flawed) the world has been in an uproar over the use of mercury in vaccinations...Read More - Encephalopathy
Dec 17, 2010
Did your child start staring off 24-hours after MMR? Did they suffer a seizure and a personality change lasting more than a day after vaccination? Then you may be dealing with a case of vaccine-caused encephalopathy. Encephalopathy is a neurological disorder that results from a brain injury. Symptoms can include confusion, excessive sleepiness, changes in behavior, seizures, and coma. It can be caused by things like vaccines, repeated brain injury from sports like football, viruses,...Read More - Trigeminal Neuralgia
Nov 30, 2010
Trigeminal neuralgia affects the trigeminal nerve, one of the largest nerves in the head. The trigeminal nerve sends impulses of touch, pain, pressure, and temperature to the brain from the face, jaw, gums, forehead, and around the eyes. Symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia include the following: severe pain on the face and around the lips, eyes, nose, scalp, and forehead electric shock-like pain on the face and around the lips, eyes, nose, scalp, and forehead stabbing...Read More
