Vitamin K
Before we get started on the vaccines lets look at the
first injection babies get right after birth. Here is the package insert for
Vitamin K. Keep in mind you can ask for an oral version of this vitamin.

Warnings
Benzyl alcohol as a preservative
in Bacteriostatic Sodium Chloride Injection has been associated with toxicity in
newborns. Data are unavailable on the toxicity of other preservatives in this
age group. There is no evidence to suggest that the small amount of benzyl
alcohol contained in AquaMEPHYTON, when used as recommended, is associated with
toxicity.
INJECTION AquaMEPHYTON® (PHYTONADIONE) Aqueous Colloidal Solution of Vitamin
K1
WARNING - INTRAVENOUS USE Severe reactions, including fatalities, have
occurred during and immediately after the parenteral administration of
AquaMEPHYTON* (Phytonadione). Typically these severe reactions have
resembled hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis, including shock and cardiac
and/or respiratory arrest. Some patients have exhibited these severe
reactions on receiving AquaMEPHYTON for the first time. The majority of
these reported events occurred following intravenous administration, even
when precautions have been taken to dilute the AquaMEPHYTON and to avoid
rapid infusion. Therefore, the INTRAVENOUS route should be restricted to
those situations where another route is not feasible and the increased risk
involved is considered justified.
According to this website
http://www.anyvitamins.com/vitamin-k-info.htm
if you are injected with too high of a dose, jaundice is the result. I
wonder if this is why so many babies must be put under special lamps?
How could anyone really know the dose needed for a newborn? Here is the
excerpt:
Toxicity and symptoms of high intake
Toxicity does not easily occur with normal dietary intake of this vitamin,
but can happen if synthetic compound vitamin K 3 is taken. High to toxic
uptake in the synthetic form can cause flushing and sweating. Jaundice and
anemia may also develop.
Vitamin K: controversy? what controversy?
By Karin Rothville DipCBEd.

From "How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of your Doctor" by Dr. Robert
Mendelsohn MD:
p. 46
"Many doctors routinely give vitamin K to newborn babies because they have
been taught that infants are born with a deficiency of this vitamin, which
influences how rapidly the baby's blood will clot. That's nonsense, unless
the mother is severely malnourished; but most doctors do it anyway.
Administration of vitamin K to the newborn may produce jauncice, which
prompts the pediatrician to treat it with bilirubin lights (phototherapy).
These lights expose the baby to a dozen documented hazards that may requeire
still further treatement and possibly affect him for the rest of his life."
p. 265 (in Author's References)
"The value of routine administration of vitamin K to newborn infants was
discounted by Drs. J.M. Van Doorm, A.D. Muller, and H.C. Hemker in The
Lancet, April 17, 1977: "We Conclude that healthy babies, contrary to
current beliefs, are not likely to have vitamin K deficiency... the
administration of vitamin K to the newborn is not supported by our
findings..." "If it helps, vitamin K administration started when
bottlefeeding became commonplace. So, if you are breastfeeding, and don't
have a family history of any type of blood clotting disease, I would say
that it's safe to forego. This is a good book to have; it also has
some info on vaccines, the other "routine" things done to newborns, and many
other common health concerns.

Administration of Vitamin K to Newborns
The Vaccines
 These
ingredients, along with the viruses, are injected into our babies as soon
as twelve hours after birth. At two months more of these vaccines
are given eight at a time, as was the case with my son. That is eight
different diseases, given to a baby, at one time. How could there not be
side effects from this? Why are we bombarding these infants with these
diseases so early? From what I can tell, money, and unsubstantiated fears
play an important role. I will describe each disease and evaluate the need
for vaccination based on fact instead of propaganda. We will also follow the
money trail. Let’s
start with this fact: Your grandmother had one vaccine when she was a child,
Smallpox. The Smallpox vaccine is often quoted as having eradicated
Smallpox.
In fact, scientists stopped using it when they finally admitted that it was
causing too many side effects. Diseases die out after 67% of a population
has been exposed to it. Research shows that vaccines are generally
introduced after the disease has died out.
See back charts.
By the time our babies are two years old, they have had a total of ten
diseases introduced into their underdeveloped immune systems, in twenty
separate doses and the numbers are increasing. For
example in 1980, only eight vaccines were given before the age of two.
DTaP
 Epidemics
of disease such as Diphtheria, Bubonic plague and Smallpox cost the lives of
thousands and created panic in homes across America and the rest of the
world. Medical science worked feverishly to stamp out their control over
the population and lessen the fear that gripped the nation each time a new
threat was unveiled. Vaccines were the result of their efforts and were
given credit for the eradication of a number of childhood and adult
diseases. But were they really the reason many of these disease were
eradicated? In conditions of filth and malnutrition, many diseases
including smallpox, plague and in severe enough conditions, the common cold
may seem highly contagious and accompany high mortality rates. In conditions of sanitation and adequate nutrition, most contagious
diseases, including smallpox, become less in incidence numbers, and also
become milder in severity.
Diseases were rampant in
the 1920’s. And the epidemics were over by the 1940’s without assistance
from vaccines. A similar epidemic occurred in Europe where there was no
mass vaccination program. Studies show better health conditions, better
nutrition and an abatement of overcrowded conditions contributed to the
demise of this disease. It wasn’t until the 19th century that
Doctors began washing their hands
between patients. Had they understood the reasons for transmission of these
diseases they might have been eliminated much sooner.
| The History of Hand Hygiene |
1843
|
Oliver
Wendell Holmes investigated the circumstances around puerperal (or
childbed) fever and concluded that puerperal fever was transmitted
from patient to patient by doctors and nurses on their hands and
clothing (Holmes, 1843) |
| 1847 |
Ignaz
Semmelweis was the first clinician to reduce mortality by
introducing a handwashing policy (Semmelweis, 1847) |
| 2000 |
Didier
Pittet and colleagues conducted one of the more recent major studies
to show how a sustained improvement in compliance with hand hygiene
can coincide with a reduction in hospital-acquired infection (Pittet
et al, 2000) |
In 1847 Dr Ignaz
Semmelweis was an assistant in the maternity wards of a Vienna Hospital.
He observed that puerperal fever in the delivery room staffed by medical
students was up to three times higher than in a second delivery room
staffed by midwives. He recognized that the students might be
transferring the disease from their dissections to their hands and
ordered that students must wash their hands after dissection and before
patient examination. The mortality rate dropped from over 20% to 3%. (Semmelweis,
1847)
Despite these results, Semmelweis's colleagues treated his findings with
hostility and he eventually resigned his position. (I found this to be
an underlying theme with new ideas in medicine as you will see
throughout this website.) It was not until after his death that others
such as Louis Pasteur and Oliver Wendell Holmes recognized the
importance of his work. |
Bubonic plague and Scarlet
fever are examples of diseases eliminated without vaccinations. American
Researchers J & S Mckinlay of Boston University were forced to conclude that
only 3.5 % of the decline could be contributed to medical measures. I wonder if we returned to
the days of unwashed bodies crammed into little houses, open sewage,
malnutrition, and contaminated water, and of course continued to
vaccinate, we could see just how effective our vaccines would be.

Diphtheria
 Lets
take a look at the facts. The DPaT consists of three diseases
that I will describe to you in detail. The D in this vaccine stands for
Diphtheria. Diphtheria is a severe infection of
the throat that can block the airway and cause
breathing difficulty. This vaccine is made by
injecting a horse with putrefied beef broth,
containing the diphtheria bacillus, until it has the symptoms of blood
poisoning. The injections are continued until the animal (if it does not
die) ceases to react. It is then said to be immune. The bleeding process
then begins, usually on the third day after the last injection. Two or three
gallons of blood are drawn off over six to seven weeks until the animal is
exhausted or dies. The blood coagulates, and the clear fluid that rises to
the surface called serum. This put into tubes and sold under the name of
diphtheria antitoxin. There have been no real safety tests done. The only
safety test that has ever been done on the Pertussis vaccine is the "Mouse
Weight Gain Test". The vaccine to be tested is injected into the stomachs
of baby mice. If these baby mice continue to gain weight and don't die
right away, the vaccine is declared safe. And here is something else scary
about the initial safety testing of Pertussis vaccine in the United States -
it was done in England on infants 14 months and older. We never did our own
studies of adverse reactions and yet we give the vaccine to infants who are
only two months old. Look at this excerpt from British Medical Journal
"Safety and efficacy of combination vaccinations" May 10, 2003;
"Good post-marketing
surveillance will become important (you mean its not already?)
in monitoring both the clinical efficacy of combination vaccines and adverse
effects. With respect to clinical efficacy this may be a particular problem
with combination conjugate vaccines.
Using combination vaccines in the routine childhood programme in the United
Kingdom amounts to giving 11 injections (24 in the United States), whereas,
if given separately, 27 (almost 70 in the United States) would be needed."
Excerpt from: http://bmj.com/cgi/content/full/326/7397/995
There has been a
moratorium in this country on animal organ transplants because of concerns
of people contracting
latent animal virus. However, this doesn’t seem to
apply to vaccines. The vaccine is then stabilized in Formalin, a known
carcinogen. This vaccine is given at two, four, and six months, then again
between fifteen and eighteen months. SmithKline Beecham has just
announced they have created a five in one vaccine,Infanrix DTPa - HepB - IPV.
Barbara Loe Fisher of NVIC was able to ask questions at the FDA Meeting.

vaccine Pediacel by the
SUNDAY EXPRESS MAY 14 2006 about the
new vaccine.
Here is an excerpt:
Evidence from the vaccine's manufacturers, Sanofi
Pasteur, shows that in clinical trials 64 per cent of 451 babies given the
Pediacel jab experienced bad reactions. Ten per cent of these were "moderate
to severe". These included convulsions, loss of consciousness and
high-pitched or persistent inconsolable crying. Other studies showed that
components of the vaccine can cause breathing difficulties, blue
discoloration of the skin due to lack of oxygen, swelling of the brain, low
blood pressure and extreme allergic shock.

Pertussis
The next disease included in this shot is Pertussis. The disease can last
as long as six weeks. It still occurs as a common childhood disease although
the severity seems to have diminished somewhat over time. Pertussis is a
bacterium not a virus. Since wild Pertussis is a bacterium, it can be
treated with antibiotics. Why we risk children’s
lives with this vaccine is unconscionable to me.
The CDC statistics for Pertussis during 1992-1994 indicated a 98.8% recovery
rate. Before 1940, most children suffered some form of the disease. By 1935,
the death rate had already declined by 82% before vaccines were introduced.
Studies indicate that the effectiveness of the vaccine may be as low as 45%.
Trials conducted in the U.S. in 1931 by the American Medical Association
indicated the vaccine did not make a significant difference and recommended
withdrawal of the Pertussis vaccine. Further studies indicated immunity is
not sustained.
Several thousand cases
a year still manifest themselves. In 1989 in
Ohio, a Pertussis outbreak occurred with 82% of the children fully
vaccinated. The cases involving vaccinated children were just as severe as
if they had not been vaccinated at all.
In 1987, during 28 months
of surveillance on the persistence of Pertussis in Novia Scotia, 526 cases
were identified. Of the patients that came down with Pertussis, 91% had
received at least three doses of the vaccine. Pertussis toxin is one of the
most lethal toxins in nature since it can cross the blood brain barrier when
conditions are right. It can easily be fatal or cause permanent brain
damage. The Pertussis toxin is sometimes referred to as an islet-activating
protein. Signifying this substance, acts specifically and directly on the
’Islets of Langerhans’ which are the insulin secreting parts of the
pancreas. The consequence of this destruction is diabetes or hypoglycemia
depending on the time of the damage. This could explain the explosion of
diabetes, especially in children. Take a look at this study done on
the vaccine. The full article can be read here.

We tested 46 fully vaccinated children in two day-care centers in Israel
who were exposed to a fatal case of pertussis infection. Only two of five
children who tested positive for Bordetella pertussis met the World
Health Organization’s case definition for pertussis. Vaccinated
children may be asymptomatic reservoirs for infection.
According to Drs. Cherry, Brunell et al., “Report of the Task Force on Pertussis and Pertussis
Immunization” in the Pediatrics June 1988 edition, the Pertussis toxin has
another use. It is also used to produce anaphylactic shock and to cause an
acute autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice so they can be studied. Vaccine
developers continue to have a problem making a Pertussis vaccine inactivated
enough to be safe but active enough to work. This is why the purified
DTaP
is still associated with the same complications of the old DPT. In 1979
Sweden stopped vaccinating against Pertussis because their studies found it
not only ineffective in preventing the disease, but also because the adverse
effects far outweighed any proposed benefit.
Take a look at a letter from a homeopath on
alternative treatments for Pertussis here.
