IMVA

[Guest guest]

The International Medical Veritas Association (IMVA) was formally launched

May 30, 2004. Mandated to investigate and confront those medical and

pharmaceutical interventions that are compromised by conflicts of interests,

the IMVA takes an authoritative and compelling stand on diverse issues in

the world of medicine. The initial work of the IMVA will be to present

objective scientific research, data and analyses whose conclusions challenge

the recent positions of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the Center for

Disease Control (CDC) on key aspects of the childhood immunization schedule.

We have found these organizations to be in serious error in their policies

on simultaneous administered vaccines, the use of mercury as a vaccine

preservative, administering Hepatitis B to newborns prior to their leaving

the hospital, and recommending flu vaccines to all children 6 months of age

and older. These publicly approved policies are leading to tragic

consequences, including contributing in large part to a 700% increase in

autism during the past 10 years, and in reality are large scale experiments

conducted at the expense of our young children.

 

Why did all these untoward policies come to be authorized? In one word, the

answer is " greed. " Doctor Kate Scannell recently reported that, " According

to confidential documents recently acquired and reviewed by the New York

Times, the U.S. drug company trade association PhRMA (Pharmaceutical

Research and Manufacturers of America) intends to spend $150 million in the

current year in hopes of influencing our domestic and foreign policy makers.

The Times reports that PhRMA's budget for such lobbying activities during

the fiscal year beginning July 1 represents a 23 percent increase over the

prior year. The plan includes a $72.7 million allocation for lobbying at the

federal level, $49.7 million for state lobbying efforts, and $4.9 million to

lobby the Food and Drug Administration. "

 

Medicine will never be safe as long as we tolerate the incursion of the

power of pharmaceutical companies into the medical decision making process

for the profit motive interferes greatly with sound medical judgment. The

IMVA recognizes the medical disasters being perpetrated by the

pharmaceutical industry and this industry's corrupting influence on the

entire medical community in the process. Instead of the medical

establishment serving the interests of the people who have placed their

trust in them, they have largely become a legally sanctioned killing

machine. Dr. Barbara Starfield estimates there are approximately 250,000

avoidable deaths occur at the hands of doctors each year, while Dr. Gary

Hull and his colleagues estimate the figure much higher --786,000 in the

United States alone. These numbers from reputable medical journals do not

consider the tragedy of babies who die in their cribs, or others who are

thought to be shaken to death by their parents, but are actually deaths from

adverse vaccine reactions. And they do not reflect the abominable

international situation when immunization is thrust on the sick and

malnourished children of poor third world countries who already have

compromised immune systems.

 

The IMVA is also concerned about the dogmatic adherence to reductionistic

paradigms that emphasize costly and dangerous surgical procedures with

often-dubious improvements in prognosis. With 8.9 million unnecessary

hospitalizations and 7.5 million unnecessary medical procedures, many

patients are frequently thrust into unnecessary danger. Each one of these

16.4 million individuals could potentially experience the unnecessary risk

of a fatal consequence. Thus, medical procedures that are invasive and not

necessary must be considered as part of the larger iatrogenic picture. Of

particular concern to the IMVA is the unnecessarily high c-section rate in

the U.S. and other countries and the entire medical process surrounding

birth. The IMVA supports a more natural birthing process that avoids the use

of dangerous or unnecessary drugs.

 

National and international medical and health organizations are in a sort of

" Catch 22 " predicament -- unable to honestly publicize deleterious effects

of vaccines and other interventions since such publicity would lower trust

and confidence, which in turn would cause a decrease in vaccination rates

and profits. Interestingly, the IOM and the CDC publicly declare they are

without a clue as to what is causing the notable increase in autism -- with

one child in 160 affected. Some have gone as far as describing this problem

as a modern holocaust. The major health organizations have lost their

objectivity and dedication to human welfare preferring to defend the

interests of the pharmaceutical companies that flood these organizations

with vested political interests, money and staff.

 

The long-standing history of mercury use as a preservative in vaccines is

perhaps the greatest medical nightmare and a case in point screaming for

dramatic changes in the medical establishment and speaks of the need for an

independent review body such as the IMVA. It is here where the paramour of

medical science and pharmaceuticals has abandoned all sensibility and

ability to reason and " the results could be devastating to vaccine makers

and federal health officials who have steadfastly defended the use of

mercury, a potent neurotoxin, in childhood vaccines, " wrote Sharyl Attkisson

in a recent CBS News report. We often worry about the terrorists abroad, but

medical terrorism is discreet and cleverly disguised in a facade of short

term " safety studies. " The bottom line is that hundreds of thousands of

American children are living with the fallout. The cost to raise those

surviving with late-onset learning disabilities and autism following

childhood vaccination is staggering and becoming a burden to the school

systems and society in general. Medical authorities have chosen to ignore

the documented observations of thousands of parents, whose children were

previously regarded on doctor well visits as developmentally normal, but

then lost language, social contact, and regressed into autism following

vaccination.

 

The childhood immunization program, due to the vast increase in injections

administered in a single visit, is threatening to be the worst fiasco in the

history of medicine. It is an unfolding catastrophe without comparison. The

IOM, CDC, AMA, AAP, WHO, UNICEF and the FDA are proving to be ineffective in

gauging the safety of immunization and other critical medical areas thus

demanding an impartial investigation by an international organization.

Either inadvertently or deliberately, public health organizations have

endangered the health of the nation and the world with an arrogance that has

led, step by tragic step, to the present situation: infants being bombarded

with toxic viruses and other biological components injected one after

another in a brutal attack on their young immune systems. Such arrogance has

locked the entire medical establishment around the world into a pre-emptive

war, injurious to children while slapping contempt on any physician or

scientist courageous enough to challenge the status quo.

 

Similar tragedies are evident in many areas including food additives and

preservatives, pesticides, water fluoridation, cancer and AIDS treatments,

anti-depressive medications, and other drugs having only marginal, if any,

benefit. The IMVA supports improving nutrition as a first line of defense

against disease--it promotes wellness rather than continuous disease and

treatment cycles. The IMVA has both short and long term solutions to the

above problems and seeks to create a new medical paradigm through a

synthesis of all primary healthcare paths, eliminating aspects not standing

up to close scrutiny. The IMVA serves public health as a truly independent

body providing balanced information to parents, patients, and physicians.

Our conviction is that better-informed people will have a great impact on

better medical treatment.
