He details how exposure levels to mercury exceeded the Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA) guidelines. He quotes Lyn Redwood who uses an illustration that clarifies that bolus exposures to mercury are significant: “You can take two Tylenol a day for 60 days and you will be fine. But if you took 120 Tylenol in one day, that’s a lethal dose and you’ll probably die.” David Kirby has chronicled the different “generations” of analyses that Thomas Verstraeten and the CDC produced. Despite the fact that the risk factor for autism and neurological disorders decreased with each successive manipulation of the data and generation of results, Verstraeten, on a number of occasions, relates that the statistical significance of higher risk of neurodevelopmental disorders as a function of higher doses of mercury “just won’t go away.” Also discussed is the collusion between the drug companies and federal health bureaucracy. © Copyright 2005, Pearblossom Private School, Inc–Publishing Division.

{"title":"Hypothesis: Thimerosal in mandated vaccinations is the major etiological agent in the recent increase in autism and attention deficit/hyperactive disorder","authors":"Boyd E. Haley","doi":"10.1588/MEDVER.2005.02.00057","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1588/MEDVER.2005.02.00057","url":null,"abstract":"The recent epidemic of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) seems to confound the federal agencies responsible for the USA vaccine program. A recent Institute of Medicine report dismissed all biological research that strongly implied that the vaccine preservative thimerosal may be the likely causation factor. They also dismissed the epidemiological studies done using an American data base and based most of their opinion on studies from Denmark and England, studies the IOM described as “well designed”. The Danish studies presented results implying that thimerosal in vaccines actually reduced the occurrence of ASD, a highly questionable possibility. The IOM ignored the relative rates of autism in Denmark versus the USA, about 4-5 versus 60 per 10,000, respectively, and the fact that Denmark children are exposed to less mercury and only after they are much older than the USA children. This suggests that early and excessive thimerosal might be causal. Also, the exposure to mercury from vaccines greatly surpassed the EPA safe level. This safe level was determined by studies on young children ingesting fish. However, the injection of thimerosal bypasses the heavy metal protection provided by the intestines and is a much more toxic delivery route. Even though the IOM was presented with confirmed research that autistics represented a genetically susceptible subpopulation that could not effectively excrete mercury they still put more weight on studies showing the half-life of blood mercury from vaccines in “normal” children where the authors made the unsubstantiated claim that infants cleared thimerosal to quickly for it to be toxic. A simple analysis of maximum fecal excretion of mercury by these children proves this claim unlikely for normals, let alone autistics who seem to retain mercury longer. The IOM also refused to consider two separate facts, that testosterone is specifically elevated in the amniotic fluid of mothers who give birth to autistic children and that testosterone, in contrast to estradiol, enhanced the toxicity of thimerosal to neurons in culture. This could explain the high ration of male to females in ASD. The IOM dismissal of all research supporting the thimerosal/ASD hypothesis, and the lack of supplying another reasonable hypothesis is an incredibly unscientific approach that the American medical and scientific community should not accept.","PeriodicalId":363866,"journal":{"name":"Medical Veritas: The Journal of Medical Truth","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127886604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interview conducted on January 13, 2005, gives indication of cover-ups on the part of senior public health officials, who have found within the statistics of VSD such compelling evidence that they are unable to obfuscate it with statistical manipulations. Topics broached include illegal collusion of authorities with industry; perjury from experts in sworn testimonies before Congress; and non-cooperation with Congressional orders that independent bodies (namely the Geiers) access the critical VSD data. The public health ramifications for the nation are discussed, as well as the possible mechanisms of Thimerosal’s adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, and—if this assessment turns out to be accurate—some potential steps that might be taken to assuage the widespread damage now being observed in children. The Geier’s treatment hypothesis was developed based on their observation of testosterone-mercury toxicity. © Copyright 2005, Pearblossom Private School, Inc.–Publishing Division.

In spite of these facts, the FDA uses milk to deliver supplementary vitamin D to Americans.

Their models have been based, in large part, on the events at Sverdlovsk when anthrax spores were released by mistake from a Soviet facility in 1979. Dr. Brookmeyer, when contacted by the senior author, provided a revised table of predictions, since his original published table had included substantial errors. Here, the new models’ predictions are validated against the anthrax epidemic that occurred at the Arms Mill in Manchester, New Hampshire in the autumn of 1957. The models predicted approximately 8 infections and 5 deaths. Nine infections occurred, providing support for the Walden and Kaplan (2004) model. Given that 4 deaths occurred with one death prevented only by timely administration of antibiotics, the mortality outcome also provides support for Brookmeyer et al.’s (2003) statistical modeling. Thus, both models appeared to predict the outcomes of the relatively small epidemic at Manchester with adequate accuracy. Whether the models would accurately predict the outcomes of much larger attacks is yet to be determined. © Copyright 2005, Pearblossom Private School, Inc.–Publishing Division.

Although having been studied for almost twenty years, they are still considered to be disorders of unknown etiology. An exhaustive review of the literature reporting immunological abnormalities and the physical symptoms of these disorders yielded little of significance with respect to the cause of onset of these illnesses. In an ongoing study, glutathione, a tripeptide necessary for the body’s general wellness, was proved to be more successful in improving patient health than antivirals, antidepressants or antibiotics. In the study to be cited, patients were treated with glutathione, both IM and IV, and with the tripeptide as a complex, glutathione•ATP. Patients receiving the glutathione•ATP complex at a dosage of 300 mg/week (IM) showed an 82% improvement in their physical symptoms. Until now, it appeared that a definitive “cure” for CFS was out of the question, with a recovery rate of only 12% being reported. In 2002, a review authored by T.W. Clarkson entitled, The Three Modern Faces of Mercury, provided the needed information to bridge the gap between mercury in the environment and ethylmercury as potentially causing harm to infants and children (autism) and adults later diagnosed with CFS, FMS or GWS. It is the author’s hypothesis that Thimerosal-containing vaccines (TCVs), genetic polymorphism and stress lead to the onset of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and a number of related illnesses. Data and literature are cited to lend support to this hypothesis. Finally, a proposed treatment program for adults suffering from CFS and its related illnesses is presented. © Copyright 2005, Pearblossom Private School, Inc.–Publishing Division.

The most significant risk factors, in order of importance for their possible contributions to Gulf War illness were perceived exposure to nerve agent, ciprofloxacin pills, gum problems, insect repellant, anthrax vaccination, use of personal insecticide, reported reactions to vaccines, and botulim toxoid vaccine. Of those, PB tablets, gum problems, insect repellants, insecticide use, and anthrax vaccination were more significant statistically when veterans reported that they had experienced reactions to vaccines. Insect repellant and insecticide remained significantly related to Gulf War illness among veterans who remained in the United States during the war; among those non-deployed veterans, anthrax vaccine was associated with Gulf War illness (10% versus 4% for those with or without anthrax vaccine), but the relationship was not statistically significant if those who were “not sure” about their vaccination were removed from the analysis. For anthrax vaccine, Gulf War veterans needed only to report a “mild reaction” to maintain a significant relationship with Gulf War illness under the reaction condition. Anthrax vaccine seemed to be more reactive than other vaccines, especially for female veterans. A dose-response relationship was observed for PB tablets. Recall bias was reduced in several ways but may not have been eliminated. It is recommended that PB tablets, ciprofloxacin pills, as well as insect repellants and insecticides be used with caution, especially not exceeding recommended daily amounts. Anthrax vaccine should be administered on a voluntary basis only, given the long-term safety risks observed here, especially for those who experience even mild reactions. © Copyright 2005, Pearblossom Private School, Inc.–Publishing Division.

Goldman","doi":"10.1588/medver.2005.02.00051","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1588/medver.2005.02.00051","url":null,"abstract":"Varicella vaccination is generally considered safe but there are usually no prescreening tests to determine whether an adverse reaction is likely to occur. The literature contains a surprising number of adverse reactions following varicella vaccination including vaccine-strain herpes-zoster (HZ) in children and adults. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) states, “VAERS data are limited by underreporting and unknown sensitivity of the reporting system, making it difficult to compare adverse event rates following vaccination reported to VAERS with those from complications following natural disease. Nevertheless, the magnitude of these differences makes it likely that serious adverse events following vaccination occur at a substantially lower rate than following natural disease.” Since follow-up is not conducted, it may be argued that some reports may not be attributed to or associated with vaccination and therefore the true rate of adverse events is essentially unknown. Nevertheless, adverse reactions reported in VAERS have typically been shown to be only 5% or 10% of the true rates. Cost-benefit analyses of the universal varicella vaccination program appear to be optimistic, especially when adverse vaccine reactions are completely ignored or excluded. © Copyright 2005, Pearblossom Private School, Inc.–Publishing Division.
