Separating Fact from Fiction

Presented by: Dr. Chad Jenkins Yesterday vs. Today

• How many children in your class were autistic? • How many children in your class had asthma or needed inhalers? • Were peanut butter & jelly sandwiches banned at your school because they caused allergies? Yesterday vs. Today

• 1970’s – 1:10,000 children • 1980’s – 1:500 children • 1990’s – 1:200 children • Today – 1:166 children – That means that on average, 1:68 families now have an autistic child – By the way, no child is ever diagnosed with autism at birth, they become autistic… America’s Children Today

• Our country is currently ranked last in the world in rate • 10 million children have asthma • 40 million children have allergies • 1:400 children are Type I diabetic • 1:6 children are classified as learning disabled in some way • Pediatric cancer has been rising by 3% every year America’s Children Today

So, if are healthy for our children, then we should have the healthiest kids on the planet….

More shots = better health? Childhood Vaccinations

Vaccines are injections that contain weakened amounts of the disease germ that they are meant to protect against. They are said to work by stimulating the body to produce antibodies.

Vaccines: Are they really safe and effective, by Neil Z. Miller 2006, pg 13 Normally Acquired

When , viruses, and other foreign materials are breathed or swallowed, the first-line-of-defense is the mucous membranes. Invasions are partially neutralized before entering the stomach. The digestive system further destroys invaders... What do vaccines do? If the eventually enters the blood stream through this natural method, the white blood cells attack and neutralize foreign substances. When vaccinating, the first line of defense is totally eliminated, putting the blood at severe disadvantage in defending the body against potential hazards.

What About ? Exposing the Philosophy – By Cynthia Cournoyer, 1995, pg 34 What do vaccines do?

When injected, the virus and all other vaccine components end up in blood stream. Most serums are proteins [and contain other chemicals in addition] and are not censored by the liver. Consequently, vaccinations can be a terrific shock to the system.

What About Immunizations? Exposing the Vaccine Philosophy – By Cynthia Cournoyer, 1995, pg 33 Are They Safe?

The CDC states, “Your child can safely receive all vaccines recommended for a particular age during one visit.”

ZERO studies have been done to prove this… Are They Safe?

“An Ominous Trend” Vaccinations

There may be a direct relationship between vaccinations and the modern epidemics of chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, AIDS, learning disabilities, and other health problems as well.

Harold E. Buttram, MD

What’s in a Vaccine?

• Live & killed bacteria/virus • Sorbitol • Formaldehyde • Gelatin • Mercury • Casein • Aluminum • Human fetus cells • Phenol (carbolic acid) • Aborted fetal tissue • Borax (ant killer) • Human viruses • Ethylene glycol (antifreeze) • Antibiotics • Acetone (nail polish remover) • Genetically modified yeast, animal, bacterial & viral DNA • Latex • Monkey, cow, chicken, pig, • MSG sheep and dog tissue cells • Polysorbate 80/20 • Glycerol

What’s in a Vaccine? Formalin/Aluminum • Formalin is a dilute formaldehyde solution. Nearly 50 studies have shown a link between formaldehyde exposure and lukemia and brain and colon and lymphatic cancer. • Aluminum is a neurotoxin that crosses the brain/blood barrier.

Neustaedter R. The Vaccine Guide, Berkley, CA: North Atlantic Books. 1996 What’s in a Vaccine? Mercury • 2nd most toxic element in nature (behind Uranium) which is radioactive • Today’s children have received up to 144 times the safe limit of mercury set up by the EPA, WHO & NIH • Symptoms of mercury toxicity are identical of those of autism. • Mercury is still used in the flu shot, DPT and Meningoccal What’s in a Vaccine? Thimerosal • Thimerosal is 50X more toxic than plain old mercury • Converted to ethylmercury in the body which has preference for brain & nerve cells • Most dangerous from of mercury because it is injected right into the bloodstream – Worse than mercury from dental amalgams, fish, seafood, or the environment Reactions to Look For: • Persistent screaming, high pitched or unusual cry. • Unresponsiveness: blank stare, if child goes limp. • Fever with or without seizures or convulsions. • Excessive drowsiness: difficult to arouse, won’t eat/drink even if the child sleeps longer than usual. • Vomiting, diarrhea, headache, nausea or dizziness. • If any of these symptoms occur at any time, you should contact your physician and should be reported to VAERS (the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System).

Polio : The Truth Polio is a contagious disease caused by an intestinal virus that may attack the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include fever, headache, sore throat, and vomiting. Some victims develop neurological complications, including stiffness of the neck and back, weak muscles, pain in the joints, and paralysis.

Polio: The Myth! Many people mistakenly believe that anyone who contracts polio will become paralyzed or die. In fact 95% of everyone who is exposed to the natural polio virus won’t exhibit any symptoms, even under epidemic conditions. About five percent of infected people will experience mild symptoms, such as sore throat, stiff neck, headache, and fever – often diagnosed as a cold or flu. Muscular paralysis has been estimated to occur in about one of every 1,000 people who contract the disease.

Polio: The Truth

Risk of acquring naturally occuring polio in the U.S is near ZERO…

…So how do you get it?? Polio: The Truth

In 1976, Dr. testified that the live-virus vaccine was the “principal if not sole cause” of all reported polio causes in the U.S. since 1961.

“When you inoculate children with a you don’t sleep well for two or three weeks.” - Dr. Jonas Salk

Polio: The truth

In 1992, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published an admission that the live-virus vaccine had become the dominant cause of polio in the U.S. In fact, according to CDC figures, every case of polio in the U.S. since 1979 was caused by the oral polio vaccine.

Measles Measles Measles is a contagious disease caused by a virus that affects the respiratory system, skin, and eyes. Symptoms include a high fever, cough, runny nose, sore, red and sensitive eyes. Small pink spots with gray-white centers develop inside the mouth. Treatment mainly consists of allowing the disease to run its course.

Measles: The Truth

The does not confer permanent immunity. In fact according to the World Health Organization (WHO), the chances are about 15 times greater that measles will be contracted by those vaccinated against the disease then by those who are left alone.

Vaccines: Are they really safe and effective, by Neil Z. Miller 2006, pg 27 Vaccine Reactions

The measles vaccine has a long history of causing serious adverse reactions. Severe afflictions affecting nearly every body system-blood, lymphatic, digestive, cardiovascular, immune, nervous, respiratory, and sensory.

Vaccine Reactions

• Epidemics have occurred in fully vaccinated populations. • Measles virus is capable of stimulating an autoimmune response over a period of time due to the virus being stored in the cells Measles vaccination causes… Encephalitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, convulsions, seizures, , atypical measles, thrombocytopenia, optic neuritis, ocular palsies, retinitis, deafness, otitis media, ulcerative colitis, bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, headache, dizziness, rash, autism, hearing and vision problems, arthritis, arthralgia, behavior and learning problems, chronic fatigue, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and death. Richard Barr, Alexander Harris, Mumps, Measles and Rubella (MMR) Vaccines and Measles Rubella (MR) www.whale.to/vaccines/dawbarns.html Dawbars (UK) 1997 Mumps Mumps

Mumps is a contagious disease caused by a virus. The illness begins with fever, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. Salivary glands beneath the ears along the jaw line become swollen.

Treatment mainly consists of allowing the disease to run its course.

Vaccines: Are they really safe and effective, by Neil Z. Miller 2006, pg 31 Mumps: The Truth Mumps is a relatively harmless disease when it is experienced in childhood. Complications are uncommon but can be much more severe when they occur in teenagers and adults. Artificial immunity conferred by the does not last. Prior to the introduction of the vaccine most children under 10 years of age contracted mumps.

Immunity from a natural case is lifelong. Vaccine Reactions The drug company that produces the mumps vaccine publishes an extensive list of ailments known to have occurred following the mumps or MMR shot. These include aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, orchitis, diabetes mellitus, parotitis (the technical name for mumps) anaphylaxis, and death.

Rubella Rubella: The Truth

Rubella or German Measles is a contagious disease caused by a virus. Symptoms include a slight fever, rash, sore throat, and runny nose. Lymph nodes on the back of the head, behind the ears, and on the side of the neck may become tender. In some instances the joints may become painful and swollen. Rubella is essentially a tame disease when contracted by children. The illness is usually so mild it escapes detection or passes for a cold.

Treatment mainly consists of allowing the disease to run it course.

Rubella: The Truth

In 1969, the first live rubella virus vaccine was licensed in the U.S. In 1979, vaccine manufacturers started producing and distributing the Wistar RA27/3 strain of the live rubella virus. This vaccine originated from cell lines obtained from the tissue of aborted fetuses.

Vaccine Reactions

The drug company that produces the publishes an extensive list of ailments known to have occurred following the rubella shot. These include arthritis, arthralgia, myalgia, Guillain- Barre Syndrome, polyneurtis, polyneuropathy, anaphylaxis, and death.

Vaccine Reactions

Several researchers have documented correlations between the rubella vaccine and neurological disorders, diabetes, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Diptheria : The Truth

Diphtheria is a contagious bacterial disease of the upper respiratory system spread by coughing and sneezing of infected persons.

Symptoms include sore throat, fever, headache, coughing, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck.

**Extremely rare** Diphtheria: Vaccine

The was introduced in the 1920’s. Widespread use of this modified began in the 1940’s when it was combined with the tetanus and pertussis vaccines (DPT). Diphtheria: The Truth The diphtheria death rate plummeted long before the vaccine was introduced. In the United States, from 1900 to 1930, diphtheria fatalities declined by more then 85%. In 1975, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded that diphtheria toxoid “is not as effective an immunizing agent as might be anticipated.”

Pertussis Pertussis: The Truth

Pertussis is a contagious disease caused by a bacterium that affects the respiratory system. Sometimes called . Full recovery may take up to 2-3 months but it is rarely fatal.

Pertussis: The Truth A study published in the Journal of Pediatrics indicates that the may be only 40-45% effective. Further evidence indicates that immunity is not sustained. Susceptibility to pertussis 12 years after full vaccination may be as high as 95%. It also advises the Pertussis vaccine is among the most dangerous

Pertussis: The Truth

The diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccines are usually combined into a single formula (DTP). Components of this triple shot (including the “newly formulated and recently updated version) are “stabilized” using formaldehyde – a known carcinogen. Each dose also contains thimerosal – a derivative of mercury – and aluminum potassium sulfate. Both are toxic to humans. Pertussis: The Truth

• Each year, severe reactions include: – 35,000 + convulsions – 11,000 + severe seizures, permanent neurological damage, hyperactivity, retardation and epilepsy • Children are 94 times a greater risk of dying from the vaccine alone rather than from whooping cough itself. • ~10 deaths per year from whooping cough • 943+ deaths from the vaccine Pertussis: The Truth

• 2004 – counties in Northern IL – 79 kids got whooping cough – all were vaccinated with DPT vaccine • 2006 – Des Moines, IA area – nearly 2,000 children got the mumps – all were vaccinated with MMR vaccine Pertussis: and Asthma

In 1994, the Journal of the American Medical Association published data showing that children diagnosed with asthma were five times more likely than not to have received the pertussis vaccine. Pertussis and SIDS

Babies die at a rate seven times greater then normal within days after getting a pertussis shot. Dr. Viera Scheibner, the author of the study, concluded that “vaccination is the single most prevalent and most preventable cause of infant deaths. Tetanus Tetanus Tetanus is a non-contagious bacterial disease that causes severe muscular contractions. Symptoms include depression, headaches, and spasms that interfere with breathing. Tetanus is caused by toxins produced by a bacterium called . The dormant germs live in soil, dust, and manure. They can enter the body though cuts an puncture wounds, but will only multiply in a anaerobic environment. The vaccine became available in 1933.

Allergies/Asthma

Children vaccinated with DPPT (or MMR) had 14 times more asthma and 9.4 times more eczema than non-vaccinated children. McKeever TM, Lewis SA, Smith C. Does vaccination increase the risk of developing allergic disease?: A birth cohort study. Winter Abstract supplement to Thorax, 2002; 57: Supplement III

Hepatitis B Vaccine The number of injuries and deaths from the are 20 times greater than that from the disease. Mothering Magazine.May/June 1999.

Hepatitis B vaccine is linked to lupus and multiple sclerosis (MS).

Hepatitis B Vaccine

High risk populations include: • IV drug use • Homosexuality • Multiple transfusions • Prostitution • AIDS patients

Hepatitis B vaccine – more dangerous than the disease “The risk of a serious vaccine reaction may be 100 times greater than the risk of hepatitis B. Asthma, diabetes, autism and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder have increased greatly since the introduction of many new vaccines….” Jane Orient, MD, Executive Director Association of American Association of Physicians and Surgeons. Vaccinations

“Doctors underreport adverse vaccine reactions by 90%.” US Food and Drug Administration "Investigative Report on the Reporting System.“ NVIC.

Question: Did vaccines eliminate diseases? “Nearly 90% of the total decline in mortality (scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough, and measles) between 1860 and 1965 occurred before the introduction of antibiotics and widespread .” Illich, I. Medical Nemesis. Chapter 1-The Epidemics of Modern Medicine, NY: Bantam Books 1976 Scarlet fever, typhoid fever and pertussis •Scarlet fever, typhoid fever and pertussis were major killers. •No vaccine was introduced for scarlet fever and typhoid fever. •All three diseases declined to virtually zero.

Question: Do vaccines cause cancer? “Have we traded mumps and measles for cancer and leukemia?”

Mendelsohn, R. How To Raise A Healthy Child In Spite Of Your Doctor Chicago: Contemporary Books. 1984. Alarming rise in childhood cancers

•Pediatric cancer has been rising 3% a year since 1974 and is the 2nd leading cause of death in children (after accidental injuries). •Leukemia and brain tumors are the most common childhood malignancies; a 35% rise in pediatric brain cancer between 1973 and 1994. Science 1999; 286:1832. Cancer and vaccines

“The most frequent disposing condition for cancerous development is… vaccination and revaccination.” Dennis Turnbull, MD (30 years cancer researcher). Auto-immune disease

• We are trading childhood diseases for auto-immune diseases later in life. • In auto-immune diseases, our body is attacking itself. • Whatever tissues are being attacked by this auto-immune response determines which diseases you have Raggedy Ann – the rest of the story

In 1921 Johnny Gruelle’s 8-year-old daughter was vaccinated in school without her parent’s permission. Between the months she became ill from the vaccination and her death her body was completely limp – like a rag doll. It was this sick, vaccine-injured child that inspired Gruelle to create Raggedy Ann. Alternatives The Amish Community • – studied the Amish – A reporter for United Press International, surveyed over 10,000 people from Amish communities across the US to see if there was autism – He found only 3 cases of autism • 2 children were adopted (were vaccinated before adoption) • 1 child was exposed to toxic chemicals near a coal mine Homefirst Health Services

• 4 offices in Chicago area (Chicago, Oak Forest, Naperville & Rolling Meadows) • Homefirst has cared for over 30,000 children since 1973 • Dr. Mayer Eisenstein, Homefirst’s founder and medical director says he has not seen one case of autism in those non-vaccinated Alternative Strategies • Eat a wholesome diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially foods containing vitamin D

• Spend a few minutes a day in sunlight to help your body make and store vitamin D.

• Chiropractic adjustments, homeopathic remedies and other natural options for healing and maintaining health.

• Exercise regularly

• Lower stress Summary

• There is no proof vaccinated children are healthier than non-vaccinated children. • There is no proof “benefits” outweigh risks. • There is no proof vaccinations are effective. • Vaccinations cause illness and disease. • There are no long-term safety studies. • Vaccines cause crib death (SIDS). • Deaths from the diseases were mostly gone before vaccines. • Vaccines contain toxins and poisons.

Summary

• Childhood diseases strengthen and mature the immune system. • Vaccines are linked to cancer, encephalitis, and autism (ASD). • You can legally avoid vaccinations.
