Non-ayurvedic note re thimerisol

[Guest guest]

IS everyone following this news? Pregnant women really should avoid these two

flu shots. The free mercury in them apparently puts Baby at high risk for

ADD/autism et al.

 

" The H1N1 vaccine will be a separate vaccine from the regular, annual flu shot.

People will require two jabs, and possibly three, depending on how effective the

vaccine is in producing immunity. The Public Health Agency of Canada has

announced everyone will be receiving the shots and says that no decisions have

yet been made about who would get priority first.

 

One of the challenges will be getting people to agree to the shots. There will

be limited information about any vaccine's safety before immunization campaigns

are rolled out across the country.

Additionally, I have called one company who received a big buy by the govt. of

Australia. They won't tell me if the H1N1 has Thimerosal, which is most likely

the case as there are very few non-thimerosal even in the regular annual flu

shot available. Pregnant women are at high risk to give birth to a generation

of Autistic spectrum children with vaccine containing Thimerosal (mercury) They

will NOT be informed ahead of time of the Thimerosal content! "

Thimerosal or not, unless H1N1 turns out to be a lot worse than

what we've seen so far, I'd avoid these shots. There seems to be

a great deal of backroom dealing and money changing hands. Also

one of the contractors for the american market (baxter pharma) nearly

started a pandemic of their own recently:

Very strange, not to say suspicious.

 

Also, the CDC is still lying about the thimerosal/autism

connection although the link was proven in research in 2005.

These people and processes are totally corrupt, certainly not

trustworthy enough to trust with sticking needles in people.

Here's a more readable summary of the James research, published in

science news at the time:

 

-----------

 

Regressive-autistic children have a genetic trait which reduces

their ability to eliminate heavy metals from their bodies.

 

Science News Online

 

Week of April 16, 2005; Vol. 167, No. 16 Blood hints at autism's

source

 

Janet Raloff

 

>From San Diego, at the Experimental Biology 2005 meeting

 

Researchers have identified a biochemical peculiarity in the blood

of autistic children. The scientists say the finding could lead to

earlier diagnosis of this neurological disorder and a better

understanding of how certain genes may drive it.

 

Autism, which typically shows up in toddlers, is characterized by

limited language skills, poor social interaction, repetitive

behaviors, and limited interests. Autism often runs in families,

which suggests a genetic cause.

 

However, " the incidence of autism has gone up dramatically in the

last 15 years, " notes S. Jill James, director of biochemical genetics

at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock. " Because genes don't

change that fast, this points to something in the environment as a

trigger, " she says.

 

In a study of the blood of some apparently healthy children, the

biochemistry of one sample stood out. It came from an autistic boy.

Curious, James got blood samples from 20 other autistic children.

All exhibited a similar, unusual biochemical fingerprint, which

James has now confirmed in an additional 75 autistic children. None

in a comparison group of 75 neurologically healthy kids carried the

fingerprint in his or her blood.

 

The autistic youngsters had unusually low concentrations of the

antioxidant glutathione in their cells. Their ratio of active

glutathione to its inactive breakdown products also was unusually

low.

 

" This pattern is consistent with an inability to detoxify [poisons],

especially heavy metals, " such as mercury or lead, James says.

That's because the antioxidant normally binds to heavy metals, and

the body then targets the molecular complex for elimination.

 

Any of several combinations of genes may predispose the body to low

glutathione concentrations. James suspects that autism develops

under the combined effect of several gene mutations that deplete

glutathione and of exposure of a child to heavy metals or other

poisons. One of the most controversial theories about autism is

that vaccines preserved with the mercury-containing chemical

thimerosal can cause the condition (SN: 11/13/04, p. 311:

http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20041113/bob8.asp).

 

Dietary treatments could boost glutathione in children carrying

genes that reduce the antioxidant, says James.

Rich, thank you so much for sharing this. There are several valuable safe and

relatively inexpensive ways to help boost glutathione levels (taking it as a

supplement according to Nurse Practitioner Shawna Doran is useless metabolically

doesn't work). Love to hear from others before sharing what I've learned.

 

So ideally before, certainly immediately after the shots eliminating heavy

metals, boosting glutathione. Do we know anything about reversing the damage?

Is it from gene mutation or from actual destruction of the neurons, or both?

 

Regards,

Ysha

I know a couple whose youngster has been diagnosed with autism. She is a

psychiatrist and he is a nurse. They have researched this very well, wishing to

blame something. But they come up with " there is not enough evidence that

vaccines cause autism " . and I would think if there was positive proof it would

be in the headlines all over since all children get these vaccines. why don't

all kids get autism? I was personally told that I had heavy metal toxicity from

a hair sample. But I don't have autism. I'm still confused and unconvinced and

though I would also love to have something to blame, I think it is too soon to

focus on this one thing. Want to hear more, but factual info.

It's not the vaccine alone that causes it, it's the combination of

genes + heavy metal exposure. Your hair sample only shows you've been

exposed to heavy metals.

 

There are at least two different kinds of autism, early and late autism.

Early is probably mostly caused by premature cord clamping at birth

(cordclamp.com).

 

I don't know if all late-onset is caused by this combination of

genetics + vaccine. There are other sources of mercury in

the environment, for instance. But look at the statistics in the

article:

 

" All exhibited a similar, unusual biochemical fingerprint, which

James has now confirmed in an additional 75 autistic children. None

in a comparison group of 75 neurologically healthy kids carried the

fingerprint in his or her blood. "

 

This is as close to proof as you'll find in an empirical study.

At least for the 75 affected autistic children in this study, their

condition was caused by their genes + heavy metal exposure.

 

And yet they still aren't screening children for this condition. Why?

Rich, your input is generating some feedback on my facebook page -

 

Henno Van A. at 7:30pm June 29

Mercury itself according to Dr. Lad. Also panna bhasma (if you can find a

reliably source) and most likely proper blood/liver support. Here in the west it

would definitely require a more conventional long term approach though.

 

Alakananda Ma at 9:00am June 30

Daikon Juice in milk was recommended by Vimalananda and I have had great success

with it.

 

Alakananda Ma at 6:17pm June 30

I found out that daikon contains glutathione precursors and so does raw milk.

Curcumin is also good for enhancing glutathione chelation activity.

 

Ysha Oakes at 7:32pm July 1

THank you both! Henno, I'm assuming you mean, alchemical mercury is used for

this? WHat is panna bhasma made with?

 

Alakananda Ma, when you say you had great success, do you mean with children

with damage, was reversed? This is such good news! Can you describe a protocol

for me to share with this woman?

 

Did you hear the research on citrus and other limonene rich plant essential oils

enhance glutathione - and reverse/prevent tumor growth? Daikon is inexpensive,

great to hear.
