This is my most recent Scrap page. I tend to work in spread format - can't help feeling that is the way to go with my art background LOL. This photos were taken 7 years ago proving it is never to late to capture those memories. Again I have attempted to use all that fun patterned paper and even cut kits from scrap parts of the paper. I extended my paper use by cutting that splicing the paper (as on the right - the pattern paper does not extend behind each other) The kites are dimensional as it the journaling. I use extra adhesive on the letters which are form DoodleBug - I find they do not hold if you don't. I used glitter tape and cut parts form it to use as accents. Probably my favorite product right now! :)

Found a great site with some of the info I have posted plus more. Enough to make someone ask questions and perhaps enough not to offend the vaccine promoter who needs to be educated. :) http://www.14studies.org/index.html

Patterns or no?

For all the gorgeous pattern paper out there - a thing I am quite addicted to and in love with - I find myself drawn to the simplistic when it comes to design. Maybe that is the graphic designer in me but I find that award winning pages tend to include one thing and lack in another - they are usually on plain paper and have very little to NO patterned paper!! Disheartening when I look at all my beautiful paper :( I will have to be on the hunt for some good pattern inspiration - in the meantime I think I may stray from trying to use all the pretty patterns and retreat into my roots of design and make the photos be the stars. Afterall, isn't that what scrapbook was all about to begin with?

Sorry but I have to post: ALUMINUM

Read this article and if this doesn't tell you how frickin' toxic vaccine are you need a lesson in being about to read English: (Obtained from the website Medscape)

http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/165315-overview

Keep in mind:

The US licensed vaccines for children that contain aluminum adjuvants are3:

• DTP (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine)
• DTaP (diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine)
• Some but not all Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b) conjugate vaccines
• Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine
• Hepatitis B vaccines
• All combination DTaP, Tdap, Hib, or Hepatitis B vaccines
• Hepatitis A vaccines
• Human Papillomavirus vaccine
• Anthrax vaccine
• Rabies vaccine

The most important part of this article is the retention of aluminum in infants which is 75%. And in case the link dies:

Background

Aluminum is a trivalent cation found in its ionic form in most kinds of animal and plant tissues and in natural waters everywhere.^[1] It is the third most prevalent element and the most abundant metal in the earth's crust, representing approximately 8% of total mineral components.^[2] Due to its reactivity, aluminum in nature is found only in combination with other elements.

Dietary aluminum is ubiquitous but in such small quantities that it is not a significant source of concern in persons with normal elimination capacity. Urban water supplies may contain a greater concentration because water is usually treated with aluminum before becoming part of the supply. Subsequent purification processes that remove organic compounds take away many of the same compounds that bind the element in its free state, further increasing aluminum concentration.

All metals can cause disease through excess. In addition, essential metals can affect the human body in the case of deficiency or imbalance.^[3]Malabsorption through diarrheal states can result in essential metal and trace element deficiencies. Toxic effects are dependent upon the amount of metal ingested, entry rate, tissue distribution, concentration achieved, and excretion rate. Mechanisms of toxicity include inhibition of enzyme activity and protein synthesis, alterations in nucleic acid function, and changes in cell membrane permeability.

No known physiologic need exists for aluminum; however, because of its atomic size and electric charge (0.051 nm and 3⁺, respectively), it is sometimes a competitive inhibitor of several essential elements of similar characteristics, such as magnesium (0.066 nm, 2⁺), calcium (0.099 nm, 2⁺), and iron (0.064 nm, 3⁺). At physiological pH, aluminum forms a barely soluble Al(OH)₃ that can be easily dissolved by minor changes in the acidity of the media.^[2]

Approximately 95% of an aluminum load becomes bound to transferrin and albumin intravascularly and is then eliminated renally. In healthy subjects, only 0.3% of orally administered aluminum is absorbed via the GI tract and the kidneys effectively eliminate aluminum from the human body. It is only when the GI barrier is bypassed, such as intravenous infusion or in the presence of advanced renal dysfunction, that aluminum has the potential to accumulate. As an example, with intravenously infused aluminum, 40% is retained in adults and up to 75% is retained in neonates.^[4]

Mayor et al suggested that parathyroid hormone may increase intestinal absorption of aluminum.^[5]

Up to this time, no biological function has been attributed to this metal, and, more importantly, aluminum accumulation in tissues and organs results in their dysfunction and toxicity.^[2] Aluminum is absorbed from the GI tract in the form of oral phosphate-binding agents (aluminum hydroxide), parenterally via immunizations, via dialysate on patients on dialysis or total parenteral nutrition (TPN) contamination, via the urinary mucosa through bladder irrigation, and transdermally in antiperspirants. Lactate, citrate, and ascorbate all facilitate GI absorption. If a significant load exceeds the body's excretory capacity, the excess is deposited in various tissues, including bone, brain, liver, heart, spleen, and muscle. This accumulation causes morbidity and mortality through various mechanisms.

Pathophysiology

Aluminum toxicity is usually found in patients with impaired renal function. Acute intoxication is extremely rare; however, in persons in whom aluminum clearance is impaired, it can be a significant source of pathology. Aluminum toxicity was originally described in the mid-to-late 1970s in a series of patients in Newcastle, England, through an associated osteomalacic dialysis osteodystrophy that appeared to reverse itself upon changing of the dialysate water to deionized water (ie, aluminum-depleted water).

Previously, the only known dialysis-associated bone disease was osteitis fibrosa cystica, which was the result of abnormalities in vitamin D production that resulted in a secondary hyperparathyroidism, increased bone turnover, and subsequent peritrabecular fibrosis. In aluminum-related bone disease, the predominant features are defective mineralization andosteomalacia that result from excessive deposits at the site of osteoid mineralization, where calcium would normally be placed.

Since the role of aluminum in disease has been identified, more attention has been paid to the element, leading to its recognition in several other processes. For example, among patients with osteomalacia, there has been a closely associated dialysis encephalopathy, which is thought to be caused by aluminum deposition in the brain. Aluminum brain concentrations should be lower than 2 μg/g.^[6] A 10-fold increase in aluminum concentrations was reported in patients with aluminum intoxication through the use of hemodialysis solutions with high levels of aluminum.^[7]

Aluminum causes an oxidative stress within brain tissue.^[8] Since the elimination half-life of aluminum from the human brain is 7 years, this can result in cumulative damage via the element's interference with neurofilament axonal transport and neurofilament assembly. Some experts believe it plays a role in leading to the formation of Alzheimer-like neurofibrillary tangles. Blaylock et al suggest that the heterogeneous symptoms of autism spectrum disorders have a connection with dysregulation of glutamatergic neurotransmission in the brain along with enhancement of excitatory receptor function by proinflammatory immune cytokines as the underlying pathophysiological process.^[9]

In this regard, dietary excitotoxins including aluminum can exacerbate the clinical presentation by worsening of excitotoxicity and by microglial priming. This opens the discussion to the use of nutritional factors that reduce excitotoxicity and brain inflammation as a maneuver to alleviate neurotoxic effects of aluminum.^{[10, 11]} The central nervous system appears to be extremely sensitive to metal-induced oxidative stress. High aluminum concentrations have been found in postmortem brain specimens of patients with Parkinson's disease and on animals models where administration of aluminum caused a strong decrease in dopamine content of the striatum.^[12]

Aluminum also has a direct effect on hematopoiesis. Excess aluminum has been shown to induce microcytic anemia. Daily injections of aluminum into rabbits produced severe anemia within 2-3 weeks. The findings were very similar to those found in patients suffering from lead poisoning.

Aluminum may cause anemia through decreased heme synthesis, decreased globulin synthesis, and increased hemolysis. Aluminum may also have a direct effect on iron metabolism: it influences absorption of iron via the intestine, it hinders iron's transport in the serum, and it displaces iron's binding to transferrin. Patients with anemia from aluminum toxicity often have increased reticulocyte counts, decreased mean corpuscular volume, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin.

Other organic manifestations of aluminum intoxication have been proposed, such as a slightly poorer immunologic response to infection, but the mechanism by which it exerts its effect is complex and multifactorial. It has also been linked to vaccine-associated macrophagic myofasciitis and chronic fatigue syndrome, thus highlighting the potential dangers associated with aluminum-containing adjuvants as described recently.^[13]

Frequency

United States

The actual incidence of aluminum toxicity is unknown. The greatest incidence is observed in patients with any degree of renal insufficiency. A higher incidence is observed in populations who have aluminum-contaminated dialysate or who are taking daily oral phosphate-binding agents. Patients who require long-term TPN are at increased risk as well.

Brown et al determined the potential for aluminum toxicity caused by parenteral nutrition in patients (n=36; age 50.4±20.4 y, weight 90.2±32.8 kg) who have risk factors of both acute kidney injury and parenteral nutrition support.^[4] Aluminum exposure was determined for each patient by multiplying the volume of each parenteral nutrition component by its concentration of aluminum. The initial serum urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels were 47±23 and 3.3 ± 1.4 mg/dL, respectively. Twelve patients received supportive dialysis. The mean aluminum exposure was 3.8±2 μg/kg/day in the 36 patients; the majority of patients, 29 out of 36, had safe calculated aluminum exposure (< 5 μg/kg/d), and 7 had high calculated aluminum exposure (>5 μg/kg/d). Patients with high aluminum exposure received more aluminum from calcium gluconate compared with those who had safe aluminum exposure (357±182 vs 250±56 μg/d).

Brown et al concluded that, using their calculations, most patients with acute kidney injury who require parenteral nutrition do not receive excessive exposure to aluminum from the parenteral nutrition formulation. The limitation of the study was its retrospective design, which resulted in calculated versus direct measurement of aluminum.

Animal studies in rats and case reports have implicated the use of oral aluminum-containing antacids during pregnancy as a possible cause for abnormal fetal neurologic development.^{[14, 15]}

Potential additional sources of increased chances for contamination are as follows: (1) a role for fatty acids common in food as factors that lead to an increase of the paracellular absorption of aluminum^[16] ; (2) advances in nanotechnology have led to the exposure of humans to engineered aluminum nanomaterials (NMs) that could potentially induce genomic changes. (By using a rat model, Balasubramanyam et al^[17] found that Al(2)O(3) NMs were able to induce size- and dose-dependent genotoxicity in vivo.^[17] ); (3) intravesical irrigation with aluminum for hemorrhagic cystitis, a life-threatening complication that might occur in bone marrow transplantation, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, as described in a pediatric patient.^[18]

International

Some evidence suggests that, in developing countries where contaminated dialysis water is still used, aluminum-related disease is more prevalent. Also, as people still use over-the-counter aluminum-containing phosphate binders, aluminum deposition within the bone will continue and serve as a reservoir for continued exposure because of its long elimination half-life.

Mortality/Morbidity

The mortality rate may be as high as 100% in patients in whom the condition goes unrecognized. Today, however, recognition by nephrologists is the norm, and increased awareness by all practitioners has led to earlier detection and overall avoidance of the syndrome. Morbidity and mortality have been diminished significantly. Prior to this, bone pain, multiple fractures, proximal myopathy, and the sequelae of dementia have been the main sources of morbidity.

Race

Aluminum toxicity has no predilection for any race.

Sex

Aluminum toxicity has no predilection for either sex.

Age

Aluminum toxicity is observed in all age groups, but its end-organ effects are more prevalent in elderly persons, who may have diminished renal function.

Building up supplies

So I am debating - should I get the Tim Holtz vagabond or not? I have a cricut which IMO is awesome however it doesn't emboss. But should I buy something that does all just to emboss? The cutting plates are ridiculously expensive IMO. And to only be able to emboss small paper? Well I am not into cardmaking. Embossing embellishments os great though and to do it on thick stuff is incredible. But maybe I should just get an embellishment embosser then. I don't know - I just bought some pearl ex powder which I never had before so that will be another fun tool :)

2012 and a new direction!

Originally I planned on starting a blog that involved ART and being creative and throwing in some political and health/parenting conversation as well. The internet is crowded with plenty of creative bloggers. A fact which saddens me - I USED to be creative. I used to be "thee" creative one people knew and now, I am lucky if I can think my way through a cardboard box. What happened? Life. Too much to do and not enough time. I am sure that statement is not unfamiliar to anyone. So how do I fix that? Making time for it again. It is important for me personally to keep that. Although I lead a fairly charmed and blessed life it doesn't mean that it is OK for me give up all I am. 


Who am I at the heart of it? A marine biologist who never realized a dream because of illness. A person who hates Michigan and anywhere that drops below 40 degrees. I love palm trees, sand, water, blue sky, hard rain, spanish moss and warmth! I love animals and rainforests and travel.  I love being on the water and the vastness of it - and being IN the water and the vastness of that. Staring down into the depths and thinking what is below me - waiting to see that creature rise up fairly oblivious to my existence. I love mermaids and seashells, the sound of seagulls, the crash of waves. Pine trees on a shoreline (like in South Carolina!) Houses that are more screendoors than walls. I hate my life in a lot of respects because all those things I love, I gave up for the PEOPLE I love. But honestly I don't love many people in general. Most of them piss me off LOL. So did I make the right decision? Likely no but I wouldn't give up the ones I love for the world. It is a conflict. A daily one. Every day I spend in the frozen gray hell I feel is one day of my precious life wasted. Completely. I wish I could fix that and I only live in hope that I will. Actually, I know I will and one day and the cost won't matter anymore. But for now I am trying to find my creativity again and spark that life in me I used to have when dreams were still in the future instead of the past.


I know this sounds depressing and maybe ungrateful and if that is what you want to think of me, so be it. But I can't deny that this is my life, not how I planned and I am SURE that there are a lot of us out there who maybe just aren't brave enough to say that they didn't get "it all" and maybe let go of who we were to reach for part of goal and then fell down the rabbit hole, stumbling through an interesting and unexpected version of life that we love but ultimately, would go back home if we ever found the way.


So a new year, new blog direction and the thought that creativity will be my therapy. Scrapbooking to keep the focus of my life clear - my family. Finding the future by living in the past I suppose. So let's see that this brings. I will still share my views along the way but I am going to try to inspire myself, and any scant readers I have, along the way.

A whole lot of awesome

Someone I respect called my ideas out in "left field" recently which upset me VERY must but I realized the video from Dr. Hilleman I had posted on m FB page hit a nerve likely with her as her daughter and my BFF had died of leukemia. But it hit a nerve. Am I out in left field? Am I totally crazy and not finding the logic of the all powerful vaccinations? I am fairly sure the answer is no - anyhow I found this incredibly solid article and need to share and store it here - it is awesome and puts the anti-vaccination thinking I have in perfect perspective. It shows what I believe and I am sure you will agree - anything but left field!

BTW - here is the Hilleman video which proves my AIDS theory:

Immunity

Absolutely awesome article. The second bullet point describes the exact thing that is happening to me right now. (Clinically proven thank you very much - but this point alone is not related to vaccines - just thought I would mention that prolonged stress is completely my problem right now) But as far as vaccine information this is very informative as well written by an award winning immunologist:


http://freespace.virgin.net/ahcare.qua/literature/science/vacsandimmunity.html


I guess it has begun. More healthcare facilities are demanding their employees to vaccinate themselves or be let go. I hope they all walk out. Having taken my children to the hospital on numerous occasions (oh how fun) I can tell you that many doctors and MOST nurses do not vaccinate themselves or their children. I had nurses from different areas of the hospital coming in to ask me about vaccine information and where they could go to learn more about the effects they had personally witnessed. If people in healthcare are that concerned about the vaccines, don't you think that you should be too? So many people just take their doctor's word for it - a doctor who is paid per shot given and given other kickbacks from drug reps. This is a BUSINESS people. A business messing with something that is none of their business.

video evidence.

Vaccine induced Encephalitis

http://www.whale.to/vaccines/encephalitis.htm

http://www.haciendapub.com/buttram.html

Great info here: http://adventuresinautism.blogspot.com/2011/03/research-review-finds-vaccine.html

Backs up the findings of a Purdue University study on Dogs and cancer. They found that the dogs had an immune system which attacked, along with the dogs collagen, the dogs own DNA. This causes not only a chronic brain deterioration but a change in the actual DNA of the animal. You can imagine the ramifications of that.

http://medconditions.net/vaccination-encephalitis.html

Long paper on such issues if you really want to read a medical review of the problem:
http://home.smh.com/sections/services-procedures/medlib/Pandemic/Pan_Geriatrics/PanGer_73_Huynh_050309.pdf

Basic definition of encephalitis - I am sure you will see the parallels to infant symptoms following vaccinations: http://www.ivillage.com/encephalitis/4-y-88521

Also note in the article that a blood born infection of this is FAR WORSE than a secondary infection.

Better yet - this talks about what to look for in an infant. The list includes every single thing a child that develops autism suddenly experiences after the vaccinations and before the "change" occurs. Not all children show such definite changes. Encephalitis can happen on a smaller scale with each vaccine, causing commulative damage to the brain which will eventual render a chronic problem.

All these things are obvious. OBVIOUS. I look at my children and feel sick I ever put a needle into them. Thank God one is free from these brain damage shots of manipulation!!

1 in 6 children today suffer from some type of neurological disorder today. Following vaccination many children start having seizures. At least one in 30 are on anti-seizure medications. Medication for ADHD is a huge industry. For people who believe ADHD is not a real disorder, they do not have children who suffer from it. Many of these children show signs of ASD although they are not diagnosed with Autism. Sensory integration issues are an epidemic. There is NO WAY is is only because of better diagnostic testing. I know many kids who are not diagnosed with anything that should be. These problems make our families suffer, causing divorce rates to rise as well as government needed support because of the financial burden these children place on the home, school and judicial systems. Beyond these disorders is the rise in autoimmune problems including severe allergies, digestive disorders and chronic illness like juvenile arthritis, MS and many others. If you choose to vaccinate your child, it is like aiming a revolver at them that contains one bullet. Spin the chamber and hope your child isn't 1 of 6. I dare you. It if foolish. Read the facts, the numbers, talk to people you know with children. Learn and think before you shoot.

Belief

be·lief

 noun \bə-ˈlēf\

Definition of BELIEF

1

: a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing

2

: something believed; especially : a tenet or body of tenets held by a group

3

: conviction of the truth of some statement or the reality of some being or phenomenon especially when based on examination of evidence

I have nothing against this. BUT lets examine this a little closer. If you have a "belief" that vaccines are good for you: 

Definition 1 - you believe doctors who tell you they are good for you. Doctors who get paid per vaccination they administer. Doctors who will lose their job if they say they think they are bad for you or do not directly push them on you. Look at your pediatrician's vaccination policy. I am fairly certain they have it on the wall of every exam room for you to see - probably will a list of horrible childhood diseases with graphic pictures and all. Is this the type of person you should "believe"? How about the media. Media is only information regurgitated from either doctors or the company that makes the vaccine themselves - or investors that make money off the vaccines. Check it out.

Definition 2 - Herd mentality. Although I guess if you believe in herd immunity you might as well hop on the heard mentality LMBO.

Definition 3 - "examination of evidence" is key and the most important part of this entire thing. If you vaccinate your child have you REALY read the evidence? Have you spoken to parents of autistic children who know the vaccine changed their child? Have you spoken to a parent who's infant died during a nap immediately following vaccination? Or a mother who's healthy teen daughter died in her sleep a few days following her gardasil injection? These things are REAL and are EVIDENCE. Children who develop severe allergies and seizures. Why on earth would a child have these things? Allergies they like to say is environmental and yes, they can be. But seizures? That is not normal and is usually caused by BRAIN DAMAGE. Vaccines are giving our children BRAIN DAMAGE. The evidence is there. If you want to believe something - you must look at the evidence. Otherwise it is not a "belief" it is simply ignorance.


I am posting this because to hear someone say that "everyone has their own beliefs and must do what is right for them" just blows my mind. I suppose some people really do believe the are good (based on being told by really one source) I feel sad for them. I feel sad that people put trust in a body of people that in general could care less about them. When you hear vaccines are good - it comes from ONE PLACE. When you hear they are not it comes from many many sources. You decide. It is a choice. But not a belief IMO.

More about allergic reactions

Recently I posted about my Godson who  is now allergic to many things - all "hidden" components to vaccines. Here is an interesting article regarding this matter:

http://vactruth.com/2010/07/15/non-disclosed-hyper-allergenic-vaccine-adjuvant/

fish oil, sesame oil, peanut oil and more are all used in vaccines either together or interchangeably. Beeswax is also an ingredient in many vaccines. Many vaccines are grown on eggs even if they are not a direct ingredient. There is a new trend of wanting to grow vaccines on insects. God help us.

This one is for Xavier

My godson who, after one round of vaccinations (that my brother admits to) has egg and sesame allergies and breaks out in a rash from fish, too.

http://www.opposingviews.com/i/the-peanut-allergy-epidemic-is-a-man-made-epidemic-caused-by-vaccinations

AND THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP VACCINATING HIM!

My own theories

So yes, I will point out that I am NOT a doctor. But perhaps I should have been. I think it is more like being a detective than anything else. I should have been a diagnostic doctor like House LOL. Anyhow, I think there are several kinds of vaccine injury from what I can tell. Some conditions may be difficult to trace to vaccines or may have only been exacerbated by them. However, there is one very distinct injury that is caused by vaccines. SIDS. I know what it is with almost complete certainty almost all of the time. Encephalitis. The symptoms and results fit the bill. I am completely convinced that the vaccines cause encephalopathy far more than they cite simply because the only way to dx it is to do a lumbar puncture and by being told by the sufferer what they are feeling. Most cases present with a bad head and/or neck ache. How on earth would an infant tell you that? Screaming in pain would be one way, which many many children do for abnormally prolonged periods after vaccination. Fevers also show up. Another "normal" reaction to vaccines that is in fact, abnormal for the sufferer. Lethary? Yes that would be another sign of encephalitis AND "normal" reaction following a vaccine. And then, death. In some, it can cause death within hours - to weeks. But for many this condition will not be fatal and remedy in 10-14 days. That is how long it typically will last untreated, but not without lasting damage.

Now, if we look at the long term effects of known encephalitis in adults we see something else that is very interesting. Long term effects are more prominent and permanent in people who had it as children (note: NOT INFANT which one can only assume that the more development to be had by the brain, the more damage is done to the developing structure). The information I am now going to give you is from the Encephalitis Society and can be easily found to confirm.

Most common was fatigue, followed by concentration and attention difficulties, frustration and anger, anxiety, specific memory problems, mood swings and depression. (about 80%)

Over half presented with difficulties in problem-solving, short term memory (or "working memory" as my child's doctor called it), word-finding, headaches and balance issues. The study does say children presented with slightly different problems but then, the survey was completed by the parent.

Adults who had contracted encephalitis as children had an increase in concentration and attention issues as well as tiredness, moodswings, frustration and anger. They also had a harder time with new learning. However, they had less problems with short-term memory, planning and problem solving. I equate this to what areas of the brain are functioning more during the illness. Children that have special talents in these areas would likely see a significant decrease in these functions. That however is my experience/hypothesis.

Initiative issues were much higher in children.

Physical impairments from encephalitis include: Impaired senses, gross and fine motor skills, coordination, balance, vision issues and light and/or sound sensitivity. Epilepsy/seizures and chronic headaches.

Are you starting to see now what I am getting at? Did the lightbulb flick on with a sudden 200 watts of freakishly bright light for you? THIS IS AUTISM. At least one form of it. The form cause my vaccine induced encephalitis in the developing infant.  And the so called normal vaccine reactions are actually signs of this happening to your helpless baby while you sit by thinking nothing is wrong. Your child is suffering from a condition that could give it BRAIN DAMAGE. And the kind that can only be found by stimulations tests.

Anyhow, chew on this a bit. Think about it and think about how it could cause a span of effects on people and maybe none on some. 1 in 6 children have ADHD, PDD-NOS, or ASD's. Yes, that many. And some have issues but are never diagnosed. Many parents don't want to admit their child has ADHD. Some kids have seizures or Tourette's. Body "ticks" were also seen in encephalitis victims.

The bottom line is it isn't [just] the chemicals in the vaccines, it is the vaccine virus itself.

One more thing to consider: I can't find the citation right now but I will keep looking. Encephalitis contracted as a secondary infection (like from chicken pox or measles) usually caused less damage and tended to be more localized in the brain area it damaged in opposition to encephalitis caused by a blood-born cause, which more widely effected the brain and caused damage in more areas. So why would you convert an illness that normally wouldn't be blood-born into one that is?

Again, I believe there are other causes (perhaps "types" is a better word?) of autism. But what I have just described is most definitely one major cause of not only autism but all the neurological issues our young generation is being afflicted with.

Found some info.

Didn't have time to read all this but wanted to post it before I lost it. It is from a man that I think is a little fanatical to be honest so take the info with a grain of salt. Sometimes I save things just to get a broad idea of what is out there. There is no doubt there are people that are far too emotional about the anti-vaccine movement but I have found people who vaccinate are far more likely to be emotional, and usually in a defensive or even angry way. It is such a sad thing that no one does ay research to ACTUALLY find out about vaccines. Sadly, the information that is given to us most readily is also full of holes and usually very obtuse (to even purposely false) and all so carefully worded to make people focus the the wrong part of the issue. It is like they are magician's, making you focus on something else while they work their "magic" inconspicuously. Anyhow - here is the post I found and wanted to save and revisit.

So-called health authorities would have us believe that vaccines are safe, yet when pushed, they admit that serious adverse reactions do occur, but only at a rate of "one in a million" children. When they are confronted with evidence to the contrary, they may come up with the excuse that "the benefits far outweight the risks," and anyway, these reactions are likely to be just a "coincidence,' or at best what they refer to as "anecdotal evidence." They literally get away with murder, or at least mansalughter. Anyone looking for vaccine injuries will find it everywhere: the harm vaccines cause is widespread, ranging from mlld to severe, including death. I received a mail from a mother today which said: "My son, who is now 36, was vaccine-injured as a child; he screamed for a day or more, after inoculations. The doctor told me it was normal. Horrible memories. We do not know the full extent of the damage, but he suffered learning disabilities. I ended up homeschooling him, rather than keep him in school." Some babies scream for hours after they have been vaccinated, a sign that they are suffering from vaccine-induced encephalitis, which is the medical term for inflammation of the brain, an affliction which may result in mild to severe neurological disorders. Some babies or infants rub their head with their hands to ease their discomfort, or they rub their head against the side of their cot, because of the pain or discomfort they experience. Yet, because this happens quite often, doctors or nurses consider it "normal"! This is the state of medical so-called science as regards the effects of vaccinations on children!

AWESOME!!

Notice at the end the doctor never would say that he thought vaccinations were good - looks very deliberate to me! THANK GOD SOMEONE IS FINALLY SAYING THIS!!!!!! (hope this works!)

We'll see what comes of this.

My guess - nothing. And all evidence will be snubbed as anecdotal. Isn't that why they always do? I mean people who have healthy normal children who become severely autistic (vegetative) within 24 hours of vaccinations is of course, no proof. What a joke.

Anti vaccine blog rant.

Well, actually it was on a blog that was talking about how great vaccines are. There are so many people that are so far on either side of this issue and in spite of my decision to not vaccinate I find that I am near to the fence because I do understand why people still do or cheerlead it. But I do think that anyone with common sense would see that vaccines are not safe and there is no evidence to suggest that they are safe and as I have said previously, it really it the maker/pusher of a vaccine that holds the burden of proof. So many who push for vaccination have no proof AT ALL and in fact, can't even tell you who the supposed "experts" are that they put so much faith in. If someone told you you would never have the chicken pox but the shot would increase your risk of cancer but a fair amount - would you do it? I doubt it.


Anyhow - I posted this - wish I had included that last analogy though LOL:

First of all, each person who suffers EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES from a vaccine induced injury would not be happy that you (Kelly specifically) think the evidence of their every day existence is "anecdotal" when there is a considerable amount of evidence to support that vaccines are not completely safe. In fact the Supreme Court itself recently ruled that people could not sue for vaccine injury on the state level because vaccines are "unavoidably unsafe". This is true. Vaccine side effects as expressed by the manufacturer show that some people will contract the disease they are getting vaccinated for. These are people that very likely would not have ever gotten this disease. If you take the word of the manufacturer as fact then the evidence is completely available. Most vaccines also show seizures as a side effect. Seizures can range from grand mal to subtle absence seizures, virtually undetected but doing a fair share of damage. Diseases produce white blood cells to form (which is accentuated by vaccines as a part of the process to kill the disease injected faster) However, the side effect of that is too many white blood cells which are twice as large as red blood cells. Red blood cells carry the oxygen to all your organs and proper oxygen levels in these organs is what prevents damage. When there are too many white blood cells - no matter what the time frame is - oxygen delivering red blood cells are jammed or blocked off - especially from the millions of micro-capillaries that feed much of your organs. These can only allow sometimes one red blood cell at a time through and are so small that we are only beginning to see them. Medical science (specifically in Japan currently) is just coming to the point where these things can be viewed and know that these vessels can show us who is at risk for all kinds of disorders, including diabetes, because of the importance of circulation in the body at this level. If your organs are not getting the oxygen they need it will lead to disease. Chronic inflammation is a common problem now. Another fact which can be easily found. Obviously, chronic buildup of too many white blood cells causes organ damage and even death. If the blood vessels in the brain are blocked from oxygen many things can happen, including a loss of automatic breathing - as we saw in cases of polio and as we see in cases of SIDS. My point is, the science shows that the body does this every time a disease enters to body and the body will, naturally, decided how much is needed to kill the intruder. When you use a vaccine there are TOO MANY for the disease in question. Too many over and over and over and this causes the body to start thinking that is normal. The body begins to over react to ALL foreign invaders which causes immune system problems (more easily substantiated info for you Kelly) Immune system issues caused by an over reaction of the system include diseases like asthma, alopecia, MS, costochondritis, RA, scleroderma, eczema and more (find definitions and causes of these diseases anywhere) The amount of people who suffer from these diseases is extensive and although they can be caused by sicknesses outside of vaccination, vaccination by it's very nature would precipitate and in many cases cause these malfunctions of the immune system. This is known and well documented. 

Gardasil has caused far more documented deaths than pneumococcal disease. (not to mention people do not die of HPV and cervical cancer from HPV is rare and highly preventable with regular paps) Yet we want people to vaccinate against a disease that causes less deaths than some of the vaccines themselves (I use that one because we KNOW for sure it causes death - the others we are unsure off because we give so many at once - who knows what does what) Just as many possibly vaccine side effects are considered not because of anecdotal evidence - why can't side effects be considered for the same type of evidence. Do we really know if these diseases would still be surging? No, because history has shown us that diseases come and go. Bubonic plague is still around with a few cases each year yet we don't vaccinate for it and never have. Yes, Bubonic plague in the USA. All this information is easy to find.

What must be understood is it isn't MY duty to vaccinate myself or children. I am free. I have a brain which I want to protect. I am intelligent enough - my IQ is extremely high as 2 separate IQ tests have shown. I am able to look at information and decide FOR MYSELF if I want to vaccinate or not. I do not make the choice out of fear. Fear is what drives people TO VACCINATE. They fear getting sick and fear death. Fear the immediate - and short lived - impact from what being sick with these "preventable" diseases would cause. Out of fear they fail to consider the long term effect of the alternative - being vaccinated. The long term of vaccines has NEVER been STUDIED OR CONSIDERED! NEVER. At least not by people like Kelly and others who are cheerleading something they have no concept or understanding of.

Need to wrap up this book I am writing here. At the end of the day it is your choice and should ALWAYS remain that. Everyone dies - sorry. No shot will cheat death and if a person wants to not force themselves to be injected with dozens of diseases they have virtually no chance of ever having I think that is just fine. All you people that want all those diseases in your body: Go for it but please stay at home while viral shedding - PROBABLY THE BIGGEST CAUSE OF ALL VIRUS OUTBREAKS IN THE USA! And if you don't know what that is then shame on you! You're the problem. (I could go on forever.... stopping now) EDUCATE BEFORE YOU VACCINATE - THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE AND IT IS MOSTLY COMMON SENSE! Get some!

One more thing - shame on you for saying that those who do not vaccinate don't understand what it means to loose someone from a preventable disease! You don't know their story or mine. You don't know who we have lost or what we have seen. When I see my friend's child, vibrant and intelligent turn into a vegetable overnight after getting a vaccine - that is PROOF. Living breathing proof. When I see another friend die from bacterial meningitis it is sad, too. But I think it reasonable to accept the deaths instead of accepting a million children with autism. 

We can only make better choices and do what we can. Nothing is black and white or perfect. So make YOUR choice. But not mine. I do not want my children sick. But I don't want them to lead a life of suffering either.

Thank You Dawn for sharing this!

Just so you see this not lost in the comments, this is a great study done on dogs - not really in association with humans but human studies are generally done on animals, right? The findings are startling and horrible and have been found in human studies as well although specific studies like this are generally not done. Findings in humans are by pure side-effects in general populations usually. ANYHOW - you recall my recent findings about vaccines and recent realization that my own health decline was likely directly caused by vaccines. Check out the information in the article about collagen. I have problems in my cartilage - since 1995 I have had a very specific area that is chronically inflamed (visible even). It has in recent years been better in that particular spot but new areas have come up including recurrent chest pains on either side of my sternum. This is basically what I have - or a form of it:

Here is the article:

Things make more and more sense. I love when knowledge lights the way to truth. It is no coincidence that people who suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome like I do are at risk of so many diseases, including leukemia and lymphoma. These are autoimmune diseases. My body is a ticking time bomb of silent attacks thanks to modern medicine. Yippee. And not only me but my children who have been vaccinated and all of us who have.
