MMR VACCINE AND AUTISM – What Is The Truth?

This controversy it too hot for the government to allow the truth to be heard! They have to defend status quo, because to admit there is even a possibility of MMR vaccines contributing (even 1 %) to the development of Autism, means that many parents will never vaccinate their children again.
Yet there is a vaccine recovery act, and without a doubt, some people react very badly to almost any vaccine. Take the Flu shot which clearly has led to the devastating development of disabling paralysis called Guillian-Barre syndrome.
That happened twice to Ms. Donna Jackson Nakazawa who has written the best selling book called The Autoimmune Epidemic. This excellent book, endorsed by leading medical specialists at Johns Hopkins and National Institutes of Health (NIH), explains in great detail why we have an epidemic of over 100 diseases today. Conditions ranging from MS to Diabetes, these experts agree that Autism is autoimmune related! http://www.donnajacksonnakazawa.com/autoimmune_epidemic.htm
The Autoimmune Epidemic states that due to (Epi)Genetic changes in our population (induced by exposures to toxins like Bisphenol A or BPA) we can no longer treat everyone with the old standard protocols for vaccination.
Thus, if the government has a vaccine recovery program for those injured by vaccines, and if experts believe that we can no longer adhere to the overly aggressive standard vaccination recommendations, and as we face more of these devastating diseases that now affect over 25 million Americans, then the truth is Vaccines are a part of our current health crisis!
At the same time, some vaccines do have the potential for good and so we are not able to discontinue all vaccines. Undoubtedly in the future there will be great vaccines that everyone may want – unless of course the person receiving the vaccine is genetically or immunologically compromised in some way. That leads to the recognition that everyone today is loaded with heavy metals, organic toxins and carcinogens, endocrine disruptors and neurotoxins. To learn more about your own body-toxin load, see the Environmental Working Group site at www.ewg.org/featured/15
So WHAT IS the answer? There clearly has to be some admission by the authorities that people are changing genetically due to these toxins. That is called EPIGENETICS (See “A Tale of Two Mice” at www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/3411/02-tale-flash.html about Epigenetics and Agouti Mice studies).
These changes mean that the old idea of one size fits all medications is no longer applicable. This means we need to bring flexibility into the vaccine schedule and certainly not give all the vaccines so rapidly at such a young age. We need to admit there are risks! Once that is understood, then we can make rational decisions about how to lower those risks.
Nutritional supplements alone can promote tremendous reduction in bad outcomes from vaccines as shown By Dr. Archie Kalokerinos www.whale.to/vaccines/kalokerinos.html. His research documents a substantial decrease in vaccination related deaths in children simply by giving 500-1000 mg(s) of Vitamin C, per 10 pounds of weight, about 1 hour before administering the vaccinations. We can look into using homeopathy to modify the potential for any adverse reaction. We might even start to prepare for the vaccination process like we would prepare for an endurance race! But none of that can happen when we try to pretend that there is no risk, or that there is no relationship, between bad outcomes and the administration of vaccines.
Andrew Wakefield’s research deserves respect. He is an outstanding physician and scientist and his work has been replicated by many others. But the establishment seemingly cannot deal with the concept that attenuated viruses in the MMR vaccine could stay alive for years in immune-compromised children, and later be found growing in the cerebrospinal fluid and intestine! If they admit that there is any truth to Dr. Wakefield’s research, they fear no one will ever again allow the current MMR vaccine to be given to their child.
We have failed to explain to people the concept of how to balance benefit vs. risk. If we admit there are risks, then we can look forward to benefits to see how we want to handle this.
How many children really die from measles is a concept that is not understood by the public today. The truth is…VERY FEW! Furthermore, there are experts who strongly believe that having these childhood diseases actually makes a child’s immune system stronger.
So that is the benefit side of the equation. Now, how many children are we willing to harm to get that benefit? Obviously the party line has to pretend that no children are harmed, but that IS NOT TRUE! Clearly, there are children that are harmed with even the Flu vaccine.
As people become fully informed on the complexity of these public health issues, we might one day move forward towards lowering the risk. We first must admit that there is risk. Once we admit there are real risks with any vaccination program, then we can focus on how to lower those risks.
I assure you I would NEVER give any vaccine to anyone without trying to lower those risks. The easiest way is to take a lot of Vitamin C, even if you do nothing else. But why not also defer any vaccines, especially if you are ill in any way, have had no sleep, or other stresses that make you less able to handle the challenge of receiving a vaccination.
