" This comment was posted on the HSI Forum more than a week ago by a member named Robert. And I have to assume Robert knew how timely his message would be. Last week, President Bush formally announced his plans for administering the smallpox vaccination. By now I'm sure you're aware of the basic details: immunizations will begin for half a million military personnel immediately, followed soon by another half million health care and emergency workers. Vaccines will then be offered to the public on a voluntary basis beginning in 2004. But there's a good chance that long before the general population starts receiving inoculations, a serious health crisis will have already begun for many millions who are in groups considered to be at high risk of serious and permanent adverse side effects. ----------------------------- Close to home ----------------------------- As I've mentioned in previous e-Alerts, the smallpox vaccine campaign is a concern for me personally because I have eczema, a condition that will disqualify me and approximately 15 million others from receiving the vaccination, due to the high risk of side effects. There are several other high risk groups: more than 4 million with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis; half a million with HIV and AIDS; and around 200,000 organ transplant patients. People receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and anyone suffering from lymphoma, leukemia, and any other cancer that affects the immune system will also be at risk. Pregnant women won't get the vaccine. Nor will children under the age of one. In total, as many as 50 million people will not be able to receive the vaccination. But that's only the beginning of a situation that will become more and more complicated as greater numbers of people are inoculated. For those of us at high risk, there's the added concern of coming into contact with someone who's received the vaccination. The smallpox vaccine contains a live virus called vaccinia, which can cause permanent injury -- and even death -- in people who are vulnerable to exposure. And this living virus can be easily transmitted to others from someone who's been vaccinated. My own situation offers a perfect example of how being at high risk will become an unusual health issue. As I've mentioned before, my husband is a police officer, and as one of the potential " first responders " to a public emergency (such as a bioterrorist attack using smallpox), he may eventually be required to receive the vaccine. And it's easy to imagine all the variations of my situation: the inoculated healthcare worker with a pregnant wife or a new born child; the inoculated soldier whose mother is undergoing chemotherapy or whose sister has rheumatoid arthritis. I don't mean to sound a panic. And I'm not saying the vaccine program is going to be a disaster. But the potential for disaster is there. It's well known that the government estimates that approximately 15 people out of every one million will suffer life-threatening complications, and of those 15, perhaps 2 will die. So if only half our population receives the vaccine, we're looking at the possibility of hundreds of people becoming seriously ill, some of them permanently, with many of their cases resulting in death. That sounds like a disaster to me. ----------------------------- C to the rescue? ----------------------------- The HSI member named Robert, whom I mentioned above, has started two threads on the Forum. One is titled " Smallpox Vaccinations / Eczema - ANSWER, " and one is titled " Jenny Thompson - Read 11/29/02 Smallpox Thread! " As you might expect, that second one especially caught my eye. Robert makes an impassioned plea to me, and anyone else in our group of 50 million high-risk cases. He offers several different sources that provide information on how high doses of vitamin C may be able to protect us from the side effects of the smallpox vaccine. One of those sources - the writing and work of Fredrick R. Klenner, M.D. - is not a stranger to e-Alert readers. In October I sent you an e-Alert ( " Be Afraid...Be Very Afraid - Part II " 10/17/02) in which HSI Panelist, Allan Spreen, M.D., had this to say about Dr. Klenner: " Fred Klenner, MD, was using intravenous ascorbic acid (vitamin C) against viruses, serious bacteria and even toxins such as snakebites as early as the 1930's. His patient records showed amazing successes, witnessed by hospital personnel, while most outsiders (who refused to review his data) labeled him a quack. Those who did, such as Drs. Jungeblut and Zwerner, Otani, Ormerod, and others, all came away impressed that his work was both accurate and therapeutic. He treated diphtheria, whooping cough, and tetanus, and in the middle of a polio epidemic in North Carolina he was considered to have 'cured' 60 out of 60 cases of infantile polio. " ----------------------------- Waiting & watching ----------------------------- I'm grateful to Robert for his concern about me personally, and for the millions of others for whom this vaccination campaign will be at the very least a health hazard, and in some cases, unfortunately, a health nightmare. Can mega-doses of vitamin C, taken intravenously, protect us from the side effects of the smallpox vaccine? It's likely that we're about to see that claim tested. And if anyone has first-hand experience with this sort of vitamin C treatment, or if you know of someone who has, I would very much like to hear from you with details. Meanwhile, I don't believe we'll be getting much information about side effects that might occur from this first round of inoculations. I can't imagine that the defense department will be entirely candid about delivering any unsettling news that might arise. But soon enough, as the program progresses, we'll begin to see if this is a plan that does more harm than good. I agree that it's wise to sacrifice a few to protect many. But in the end, if the sacrifice turns out to be harsh and the smallpox threat turns out to be nothing more than just that - a threat - we may look back and ask, " What in the world were we thinking? " ************************************************************** TREAT HEART TROUBLE WITH SUGAR AND MUSTARD If you told your doctor he could effectively treat heart trouble, chronic disease and this type of cancer with... Sugar & Mustard... He'd say, " Baloney! " But now we have proof, thanks to award-winning Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. He braved ridicule and hostility to pioneer a new kind of medicine. While drugs just suppress symptoms, these spectacular new food & vitamin cures can beat your symptoms and cure the causes of chronic diseases. http://www.agora-inc.com/reports/NAH/WNAHCC07 (if you can't click here use the HTML links listed below) ************************************************************** ....and another thing On the subject of another vaccine, I noticed these two items recently posted on the HSI Forum, the first from J.W.: " You need to check your facts...No study has said thimerosal causes autism. New studies say it does not...don't follow statement by trial lawyers who wish to cash in on civil suits. " Of course, J.W. is commenting on the recent controversy about the item included in the Homeland Security Bill that will protect Eli Lilly & Company from litigation accusing their product thimerosal (a mercury based preservative used in vaccines for children for many years) for causing autism. In response to J.W., an HSI member named Lance posted these comments: " Perhaps no study 'has said thimerosol causes autism.' But, many, many reports, studies, doctors have connected/tied thimerosol to autism. I think this truth was about to come out in the courts, when the senate snuck their midnight protection clause into the Homeland security bill, last month. Thanks to this new, federal intervention, Americans may never know the truth! But, that doesn't change the facts, including: By age two, American children have received 237 micrograms of mercury through vaccines alone, which far exceeds current EPA 'safe' levels of .1 mcg/kg. per day. That's one-tenth of a microgram, not one microgram. Four days in particular may be singled out as spectacularly toxic for infants: Day of birth: hepatitis B -12 mcg mercury 30 x safe level At 4 months: DTaP and HiB on same day - 50 mcg mercury 60 x safe level At 6 months: Hep B, Polio - 62.5 mcg mercury 78 x safe level At 15 months the child receives another 50 mcg 41 x safe level Injected mercury is far more toxic than ingested mercury. There's no blood-brain barrier in infants. Mercury accumulates in brain cells and nerves. Infants don't produce bile, which is necessary to excrete mercury. Recently, the FDA and AAP have revealed that the amount of mercury given to infants from vaccinations has exceeded safety levels. Autism did not exist until shortly after thimerosol started being used! Sometimes lawyers get paid to represent the truth. Other times they get paid to cover it up! " Well put, Lance. I'm sure that the fact that thimerosal is no longer being used in vaccines currently in production is only as a result of watchdog groups and angry parents of autistic children raising their voices diligently. We may not yet be able to say with certainty that thimerosal causes autism, but it's clear that we're better off not injecting mercury into children throughout their infancy.
