Guest guest Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Cats: Cancer at vaccine injection sites, so now they vaccinate in the tail or leg so they can easily be amputated!

Let me know how fast they run to thebathroom...Continuing to put the TRUTH on top of the mountain of vaccine lies,Dr Carley Science of Vaccine Damage by Catherine O'Driscoll (posted with permission) A team at Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine conductedseveral studies (1,2) to determine if vaccines can cause changes inthe immune system of dogs that might lead to life-threateningimmune-mediated diseases. They obviously conducted this researchbecause concern already existed. It was sponsored by the HaywoodFoundation which itself was looking for evidence that such changes inthe human immune system might also be vaccine induced. It found theevidence. The vaccinated, but not the non-vaccinated, dogs in the Purduestudies developed autoantibodies to many of their own biochemicals,including fibronectin, laminin, DNA, albumin, cytochrome C,cardiolipin and collagen. This means that the vaccinated dogs -- "but not the non-vaccinateddogs"-- were attacking their own fibronectin, which is involved intissue repair, cell multiplication and growth, and differentiationbetween tissues and organs in a living organism. The vaccinated Purdue dogs also developed autoantibodies to laminin,which is involved in many cellular activities including the adhesion,spreading, differentiation, proliferation and movement of cells.Vaccines thus appear to be capable of removing the naturalintelligence of cells. Autoantibodies to cardiolipin are frequently found in patients withthe serious disease systemic lupus erythematosus and also inindividuals with other autoimmune diseases. The presence of elevatedanti-cardiolipin antibodies is significantly associated with clotswithin the heart or blood vessels, in poor blood clotting,haemorrhage, bleeding into the skin, foetal loss and neurologicalconditions. The Purdue studies also found that vaccinated dogs were developingautoantibodies to their own collagen. About one quarter of all theprotein in the body is collagen. Collagen provides structure to ourbodies, protecting and supporting the softer tissues and connectingthem with the skeleton. It is no wonder that Canine Health Concern's1997 study of 4,000 dogs showed a high number of dogs developingmobility problems shortly after they were vaccinated (noted in my 1997book, What Vets Don't Tell You About Vaccines). Perhaps most worryingly, the Purdue studies found that the vaccinateddogs had developed autoantibodies to their own DNA. Did the alarmbells sound? Did the scientific community call a halt to thevaccination program? No. Instead, they stuck their fingers in the air,saying more research is needed to ascertain whether vaccines can causegenetic damage. Meanwhile, the study dogs were found good homes, butno long-term follow-up has been conducted. At around the same time,the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Vaccine-AssociatedFeline Sarcoma Task Force initiated several studies to find out why160,000 cats each year in the USA develop terminal cancer at theirvaccine injection sites.(3) The fact that cats can get vaccine-inducedcancer has been acknowledged by veterinary bodies around the world,and even the British Government acknowledged it through its WorkingGroup charged with the task of looking into canine and felinevaccines(4) following pressure from Canine Health Concern. What do youimagine was the advice of the AVMA Task Force, veterinary bodies andgovernments? "Carry on vaccinating untilwe find out why vaccines are killing cats, and which cats are mostlikely to die." In America, in an attempt to mitigate the problem, they'revaccinating cats in the tail or leg so they can amputate when cancerappears. Great advice if it's not your cat amongst the hundreds ofthousands on the "oops" list. But other species are okay - right? Wrong. In August 2003, theJournal of Veterinary Medicine carried an Italian study which showedthat dogs also develop vaccine-induced cancers at their injectionsites.(5) We already know that vaccine-site cancer is a possiblesequel to human vaccines, too, since the Salk polio vaccine was saidto carry a monkey retrovirus (from cultivating the vaccine on monkeyorgans) that produces inheritable cancer. The monkey retrovirus SV40keeps turning up in human cancer sites. It is also widely acknowledged that vaccines can cause a fast-acting,usually fatal, disease called autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA).Without treatment, and frequently with treatment, individuals can diein agony within a matter of days. Merck, itself a multinationalvaccine manufacturer, states in The Merck Manual of Diagnosis andTherapy that autoimmune haemolytic anaemia may be caused by modifiedlive-virus vaccines, as do Tizard's Veterinary Immunology (4thedition) and the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine.(6) TheBritish Government's Working Group, despite being staffed byvaccine-industry consultants who say they are independent, alsoacknowledged this fact. However, no one warns the pet owners beforetheir animals are subjected to an unnecessary booster, and very fewowners are told why after their pets die of AIHA. A Wide Range of Vaccine-induced DiseasesWe also found some worrying correlations between vaccine events andthe onset of arthritis in our 1997 survey. Our concerns werecompounded by research in the human field. The New England Journal of Medicine, for example, reported that it ispossible to isolate the rubella virus from affected joints in childrenvaccinated against rubella. It also told of the isolation of virusesfrom the peripheral blood of women with prolonged arthritis followingvaccination.(7) Then, in 2000, CHC's findings were confirmed by research which showedthat polyarthritis and other diseases like amyloidosis, which affectsorgans in dogs, were linked to the combined vaccine given to dogs.(8)There is a huge body of research, despite the paucity of funding fromthe vaccine industry, to confirm that vaccines can cause a wide rangeof brain and central nervous system damage. Merck itself states in itsManual that vaccines (i.e., its own products) can cause encephalitis:brain inflammation/damage. In some cases, encephalitis involveslesions in the brain and throughout the central nervous system. Merckstates that "examples are the encephalitides following measles,chickenpox, rubella, smallpox vaccination, vaccinia, and many otherless well defined viral infections". When the dog owners who took part in the CHC survey reported thattheir dogs developed short attention spans, 73.1% of the dogs did sowithin three months of a vaccine event. The same percentage of dogswas diagnosed with epilepsy within three months of a shot (but usuallywithin days). We also found that 72.5% of dogs that were considered bytheir owners to be nervous and of a worrying disposition, firstexhibited these traits within the three-month post-vaccination period.I would like to add for the sake of Oliver, my friend who sufferedfrom paralysed rear legs and death shortly after a vaccine shot, that"paresis" is listed in Merck's Manual as a symptom of encephalitis.This is defined as muscular weakness of a neural (brain) origin whichinvolves partial or incomplete paralysis, resulting from lesions atany level of the descending pathway from the brain. Hind limbparalysis is one of the potential consequences. Encephalitis,incidentally, is a disease that can manifest across the scale frommild to severe and can also cause sudden death. Organ failure must also be suspected when it occurs shortly after avaccine event. Dr Larry Glickman, who spearheaded the Purdue researchinto post-vaccination biochemical changes in dogs, wrote in a letterto Cavalier Spaniel breeder Bet Hargreaves: "Our ongoing studies of dogs show that following routine vaccination,there is a significant rise in the level of antibodies dogs produceagainst their own tissues. Some of these antibodies have been shown totarget the thyroid gland, connective tissue such as that found in thevalves of the heart, red blood cells, DNA, etc. I do believe that theheart conditions in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels could be the endresult of repeated immunisations by vaccines containing tissue culturecontaminants that cause a progressive immune response directed atconnective tissue in the heart valves. The clinical manifestationswould be more pronounced in dogs that have a genetic predispositionthe findings should be generally applicable to all dogs regardless oftheir breed." I must mention here that Dr Glickman believes that vaccines are anecessary evil, but that safer vaccines need to be developed. Meanwhile, please join the queue to place your dog, cat, horse andchild on the Russian roulette wheel because a scientist says youshould. Vaccines Stimulate an Inflammatory ResponseThe word "allergy" is synonymous with "sensitivity" and"inflammation". It should, by rights, also be synonymous with the word"vaccination". This is what vaccines do: they sensitise (renderallergic)an individual in the process of forcing them to developantibodies to fight a disease threat. In other words, as isacknowledged and accepted, as part of the vaccine process the bodywill respond with inflammation. This may be apparently temporary or itmay be longstanding. Holistic doctors and veterinarians have known this for at least 100years. They talk about a wide range of inflammatory or "-itis" diseaseswhich arise shortly after a vaccine event. Vaccines, in fact, plungemany individuals into an allergic state. Again, this is a disorderthat ranges from mild all the way through to the suddenly fatal.Anaphylactic shock is the culmination: it's where an individual has amassive allergic reaction to a vaccine and will die within minutes ifadrenaline or its equivalent is not administered. There are some individuals who are genetically not well placed towithstand the vaccine challenge. These are the people (and animals are"people", too) who have inherited faulty B and T cell function. B andT cells are components within the immune system which identify foreigninvaders and destroy them, and hold the invader in memory so that theycannot cause future harm. However, where inflammatory responses areconcerned, the immune system overreacts and causes unwanted effectssuch as allergies and otherinflammatory conditions. Merck warns in its Manual that patients with, or from families with,B and/or T cell immunodeficiencies should not receive live-virusvaccines due to the risk of severe or fatal infection. Elsewhere, itlists features of B and T cell immunodeficiencies as food allergies,inhalant allergies, eczema, dermatitis, neurological deterioration andheart disease. To translate, people with these conditions can die ifthey receive live-virus vaccines. Their immune systems are simply notcompetent enough to guarantee a healthy reaction to the viral assaultfrom modified live-virus vaccines. Modified live-virus (MLV) vaccines replicate in the patient until animmune response is provoked. If a defence isn't stimulated, then thevaccine continues to replicate until it gives the patient the verydisease it was intending to prevent. Alternatively, a deranged immune response will lead to inflammatoryconditions such as arthritis, pancreatitis, colitis, encephalitis andany number of autoimmune diseases such as cancer and leukaemia, wherethe body attacks its own cells. A new theory, stumbled upon by Open University student Gary Smith,explains what holistic practitioners have been saying for a very longtime. Here is what a few of the holistic vets have said in relation totheir patients: Dr Jean Dodds: "Many veterinarians trace the present problems withallergic and immunologic diseases to the introduction of MLVvaccines..." (9) Christina Chambreau, DVM: "Routine vaccinations are probably theworst thing that we do for our animals. They cause all types ofillnesses, but not directly to where we would relate them definitelyto be caused by the vaccine." (10) Martin Goldstein, DVM: "I think that vaccines...are leading killersof dogs and cats in America today." Dr Charles E. Loops, DVM: "Homoeopathic veterinarians and otherholistic practitioners have maintained for some time that vaccinationsdo more harm than they provide benefits." (12)Mike Kohn, DVM: "In response to this violation, there have beenincreased autoimmune diseases (allergies being one component),epilepsy, neoplasia , as well as behavioural problems in smallanimals." (13) A Theory on InflammationGary Smith explains what observant healthcare practitioners have beensaying for a very long time, but perhaps they've not understood whytheir observations led them to say it. His theory, incidentally, iscausing a huge stir within the inner scientific sanctum. Some believethat his theory could lead to a cure for many diseases includingcancer. For me, it explains why the vaccine process is inherentlyquestionable. Gary was learning about inflammation as part of his studies when hestruck upon a theory so extraordinary that it could have implicationsfor the treatment of almost every inflammatory disease -- includingAlzheimer's, Parkinson's, rheumatoid arthritis and even HIV and AIDS. Gary's theory questions the received wisdom that when a person getsill, the inflammation that occurs around the infected area helps it toheal. He claims that, in reality, inflammation prevents the body fromrecognising a foreign substance and therefore serves as a hiding placefor invaders. The inflammation occurs when at-risk cells producereceptors called All (known as angiotensin II type I receptors). Hesays that while At1 has a balancing receptor, At2, which is supposedto switch off the inflammation, in most diseases this does not happen."Cancer has been described as the wound that never heals," he says."All successful cancers are surrounded by inflammation. Commonly thisis thought to be the body's reaction to try to fight the cancer, butthis is not the case. "The inflammation is not the body trying to fight the infection. Itis actually the virus or bacteria deliberately causing inflammation inorder to hide from the immune system [author's emphasis]." (14) If Gary is right, then the inflammatory process so commonlystimulated by vaccines is not, as hitherto assumed, a necessarilyacceptable sign. Instead, it could be a sign that the viral orbacterial component, or the adjuvant (which, containing foreignprotein, is seen as an invader by the immune system), in the vaccineis winning by stealth. If Gary is correct in believing that the inflammatory response is notprotective but a sign that invasion is taking place under cover ofdarkness, vaccines are certainly not the friends we thought they were.They are undercover assassins working on behalf of the enemy, and vetsand medical doctors are unwittingly acting as collaborators. Worse, weanimal guardians and parents are actually paying doctors and vets tounwittingly betray our loved ones. Potentially, vaccines are the stealth bomb of the medical world. Theyare used to catapult invaders inside the castle walls where they canwreak havoc, with none of us any the wiser. So rather thanexperiencing frank viral diseases such as the 'flu, measles, mumps andrubella (and, in the case of dogs, parvovirus and distemper), we areallowing the viruses to win anyway - but with cancer, leukaemia andother inflammatory or autoimmune (self-attacking) diseases takingtheir place. The Final InsultAll 27 veterinary schools in North America have changed theirprotocols for vaccinating dogs and cats along the following lines;(15) however, vets in practice are reluctant to listen to thesechanged protocols and official veterinary bodies in the UK and othercountries are ignoring the following facts. Dogs' and cats' immune systems mature fully at six months. Ifmodified live-virus vaccine is giver after six months of age, itproduces immunity, which is good for the life of the pet. If anotherMLV vaccine is given a year later, the antibodies from the firstvaccine neutralise the antigens of the second vaccine and there islittle or no effect. The litre is no "boosted", nor are more memorycells induced. Not only are annual boosters unnecessary, but they subject the pet topotential risks such as allergic reactions and immune-mediatedhaemolytic anaemia. In plain language, veterinary schools in America, plus the AmericanVeterinary Medical Association, have looked at studies to show howlong vaccines last and they have concluded and announced that annualvaccination is unnecessary.(16-19) Further, they have acknowledged that vaccines are not without harm.Dr Ron Schultz, head of pathobiology at Wisconsin University and aleading light in this field, has been saying this politely to hisveterinary colleagues since the 1980s. I've been saying it for thepast 12 years. But change is so long in coming and, in the meantime,hundreds of thousands of animals are dying every year - unnecessarily.The good news is that thousands of animal lovers (but not enough)have heard what we've been saying. Canine Health Concern membersaround the world use real food as Nature's supreme diseasepreventative, eschewing processed pet food, and minimise the vaccinerisk. Some of us, myself included, have chosen not to vaccinate ourpets at all. Our reward is healthy and long-lived dogs. It has taken but one paragraph to tell you the good and simple news.The gratitude I feel each day, when I embrace my healthy dogs,stretches from the centre of the Earth to the Universe and beyond.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Majacuja, Excellent article and great find. My dog suffers from AIHA due to vaccines. It has cost me untold misery and horror and well over $10,000 over the last six years to keep my boy alive (he is doing well right now). The ongoing horrors of medicine continue. Science could be used for so much good in the world but it appears as though pharmacutical companies work feverishly at concocting poisons to kill in many and varied ways. Horrible, just horrible.

His theory, incidentally, iscausing a huge stir within the inner scientific sanctum. Some believethat his theory could lead to a cure for many diseases includingcancer. For me, it explains why the vaccine process is inherentlyquestionable. Gary was learning about inflammation as part of his studies when hestruck upon a theory so extraordinary that it could have implicationsfor the treatment of almost every inflammatory disease -- includingAlzheimer's, Parkinson's, rheumatoid arthritis and even HIV and AIDS. Gary's theory questions the received wisdom that when a person getsill, the inflammation that occurs around the infected area helps it toheal. He claims that, in reality, inflammation prevents the body fromrecognising a foreign substance and therefore serves as a hiding placefor invaders. The inflammation occurs when at-risk cells producereceptors called All (known as angiotensin II type I receptors). Hesays that while At1 has a balancing receptor, At2, which is supposedto switch off the inflammation, in most diseases this does not happen."Cancer has been described as the wound that never heals," he says."All successful cancers are surrounded by inflammation. Commonly thisis thought to be the body's reaction to try to fight the cancer, butthis is not the case. "The inflammation is not the body trying to fight the infection. Itis actually the virus or bacteria deliberately causing inflammation inorder to hide from the immune system [author's emphasis]." (14) If Gary is right, then the inflammatory process so commonlystimulated by vaccines is not, as hitherto assumed, a necessarilyacceptable sign. Instead, it could be a sign that the viral orbacterial component, or the adjuvant (which, containing foreignprotein, is seen as an invader by the immune system), in the vaccineis winning by stealth. If Gary is correct in believing that the inflammatory response is notprotective but a sign that invasion is taking place under cover ofdarkness, vaccines are certainly not the friends we thought they were.They are undercover assassins working on behalf of the enemy, and vetsand medical doctors are unwittingly acting as collaborators. Worse, weanimal guardians and parents are actually paying doctors and vets tounwittingly betray our loved ones. Potentially, vaccines are the stealth bomb of the medical world. Theyare used to catapult invaders inside the castle walls where they canwreak havoc, with none of us any the wiser. So rather thanexperiencing frank viral diseases such as the 'flu, measles, mumps andrubella (and, in the case of dogs, parvovirus and distemper), we areallowing the viruses to win anyway - but with cancer, leukaemia andother inflammatory or autoimmune (self-attacking) diseases takingtheir place. The Final InsultAll 27 veterinary schools in North America have changed theirprotocols for vaccinating dogs and cats along the following lines;(15) however, vets in practice are reluctant to listen to thesechanged protocols and official veterinary bodies in the UK and othercountries are ignoring the following facts. Dogs' and cats' immune systems mature fully at six months. Ifmodified live-virus vaccine is giver after six months of age, itproduces immunity, which is good for the life of the pet. If anotherMLV vaccine is given a year later, the antibodies from the firstvaccine neutralise the antigens of the second vaccine and there islittle or no effect. The litre is no "boosted", nor are more memorycells induced. Not only are annual boosters unnecessary, but they subject the pet topotential risks such as allergic reactions and immune-mediatedhaemolytic anaemia. In plain language, veterinary schools in America, plus the AmericanVeterinary Medical Association, have looked at studies to show howlong vaccines last and they have concluded and announced that annualvaccination is unnecessary.(16-19) Further, they have acknowledged that vaccines are not without harm.Dr Ron Schultz, head of pathobiology at Wisconsin University and aleading light in this field, has been saying this politely to hisveterinary colleagues since the 1980s. I've been saying it for thepast 12 years. But change is so long in coming and, in the meantime,hundreds of thousands of animals are dying every year - unnecessarily.The good news is that thousands of animal lovers (but not enough)have heard what we've been saying. Canine Health Concern membersaround the world use real food as Nature's supreme diseasepreventative, eschewing processed pet food, and minimise the vaccinerisk.

These veterinarians know that they could make a fortune by"treating" vaccine induced diseases...but instead, work to end thedeath and suffering of their patients caused by the sorcery ofinjecting a witch's brew called "vaccines". Unfortunately, the MD's(medical devils as BJ Palmer, founder of Chiropractic called them),care not how much suffering their patients endure, as long as there isa Mercedes in their driveway. They have allowed themselves to becomepuppets for Big Pharma. You and your children are suffering and dyingdue to the fallout of this hypocrisy.I hope many of you will show this article to your "white coats". Askthem for their response.. Let me know how fast they run to thebathroom...Continuing to put the TRUTH on top of the mountain of vaccine lies,Dr Carley Science of Vaccine Damage by Catherine O'Driscoll (posted with permission) A team at Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine conductedseveral studies (1,2) to determine if vaccines can cause changes inthe immune system of dogs that might lead to life-threateningimmune-mediated diseases. They obviously conducted this researchbecause concern already existed. It was sponsored by the HaywoodFoundation which itself was looking for evidence that such changes inthe human immune system might also be vaccine induced. It found theevidence. The vaccinated, but not the non-vaccinated, dogs in the Purduestudies developed autoantibodies to many of their own biochemicals,including fibronectin, laminin, DNA, albumin, cytochrome C,cardiolipin and collagen. This means that the vaccinated dogs -- "but not the non-vaccinateddogs"-- were attacking their own fibronectin, which is involved intissue repair, cell multiplication and growth, and differentiationbetween tissues and organs in a living organism. The vaccinated Purdue dogs also developed autoantibodies to laminin,which is involved in many cellular activities including the adhesion,spreading, differentiation, proliferation and movement of cells.Vaccines thus appear to be capable of removing the naturalintelligence of cells. Autoantibodies to cardiolipin are frequently found in patients withthe serious disease systemic lupus erythematosus and also inindividuals with other autoimmune diseases. The presence of elevatedanti-cardiolipin antibodies is significantly associated with clotswithin the heart or blood vessels, in poor blood clotting,haemorrhage, bleeding into the skin, foetal loss and neurologicalconditions. The Purdue studies also found that vaccinated dogs were developingautoantibodies to their own collagen. About one quarter of all theprotein in the body is collagen. Collagen provides structure to ourbodies, protecting and supporting the softer tissues and connectingthem with the skeleton. It is no wonder that Canine Health Concern's1997 study of 4,000 dogs showed a high number of dogs developingmobility problems shortly after they were vaccinated (noted in my 1997book, What Vets Don't Tell You About Vaccines). Perhaps most worryingly, the Purdue studies found that the vaccinateddogs had developed autoantibodies to their own DNA. Did the alarmbells sound? Did the scientific community call a halt to thevaccination program? No. Instead, they stuck their fingers in the air,saying more research is needed to ascertain whether vaccines can causegenetic damage. Meanwhile, the study dogs were found good homes, butno long-term follow-up has been conducted. At around the same time,the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Vaccine-AssociatedFeline Sarcoma Task Force initiated several studies to find out why160,000 cats each year in the USA develop terminal cancer at theirvaccine injection sites.(3) The fact that cats can get vaccine-inducedcancer has been acknowledged by veterinary bodies around the world,and even the British Government acknowledged it through its WorkingGroup charged with the task of looking into canine and felinevaccines(4) following pressure from Canine Health Concern. What do youimagine was the advice of the AVMA Task Force, veterinary bodies andgovernments? "Carry on vaccinating untilwe find out why vaccines are killing cats, and which cats are mostlikely to die." In America, in an attempt to mitigate the problem, they'revaccinating cats in the tail or leg so they can amputate when cancerappears. Great advice if it's not your cat amongst the hundreds ofthousands on the "oops" list. But other species are okay - right? Wrong. In August 2003, theJournal of Veterinary Medicine carried an Italian study which showedthat dogs also develop vaccine-induced cancers at their injectionsites.(5) We already know that vaccine-site cancer is a possiblesequel to human vaccines, too, since the Salk polio vaccine was saidto carry a monkey retrovirus (from cultivating the vaccine on monkeyorgans) that produces inheritable cancer. The monkey retrovirus SV40keeps turning up in human cancer sites. It is also widely acknowledged that vaccines can cause a fast-acting,usually fatal, disease called autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA).Without treatment, and frequently with treatment, individuals can diein agony within a matter of days. Merck, itself a multinationalvaccine manufacturer, states in The Merck Manual of Diagnosis andTherapy that autoimmune haemolytic anaemia may be caused by modifiedlive-virus vaccines, as do Tizard's Veterinary Immunology (4thedition) and the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine.(6) TheBritish Government's Working Group, despite being staffed byvaccine-industry consultants who say they are independent, alsoacknowledged this fact. However, no one warns the pet owners beforetheir animals are subjected to an unnecessary booster, and very fewowners are told why after their pets die of AIHA. A Wide Range of Vaccine-induced DiseasesWe also found some worrying correlations between vaccine events andthe onset of arthritis in our 1997 survey. Our concerns werecompounded by research in the human field. The New England Journal of Medicine, for example, reported that it ispossible to isolate the rubella virus from affected joints in childrenvaccinated against rubella. It also told of the isolation of virusesfrom the peripheral blood of women with prolonged arthritis followingvaccination. (7) Then, in 2000, CHC's findings were confirmed by research which showedthat polyarthritis and other diseases like amyloidosis, which affectsorgans in dogs, were linked to the combined vaccine given to dogs.(8)There is a huge body of research, despite the paucity of funding fromthe vaccine industry, to confirm that vaccines can cause a wide rangeof brain and central nervous system damage. Merck itself states in itsManual that vaccines (i.e., its own products) can cause encephalitis:brain inflammation/ damage. In some cases, encephalitis involveslesions in the brain and throughout the central nervous system. Merckstates that "examples are the encephalitides following measles,chickenpox, rubella, smallpox vaccination, vaccinia, and many otherless well defined viral infections". When the dog owners who took part in the CHC survey reported thattheir dogs developed short attention spans, 73.1% of the dogs did sowithin three months of a vaccine event. The same percentage of dogswas diagnosed with epilepsy within three months of a shot (but usuallywithin days). We also found that 72.5% of dogs that were considered bytheir owners to be nervous and of a worrying disposition, firstexhibited these traits within the three-month post-vaccination period.I would like to add for the sake of Oliver, my friend who sufferedfrom paralysed rear legs and death shortly after a vaccine shot, that"paresis" is listed in Merck's Manual as a symptom of encephalitis.This is defined as muscular weakness of a neural (brain) origin whichinvolves partial or incomplete paralysis, resulting from lesions atany level of the descending pathway from the brain. Hind limbparalysis is one of the potential consequences. Encephalitis,incidentally, is a disease that can manifest across the scale frommild to severe and can also cause sudden death. Organ failure must also be suspected when it occurs shortly after avaccine event. Dr Larry Glickman, who spearheaded the Purdue researchinto post-vaccination biochemical changes in dogs, wrote in a letterto Cavalier Spaniel breeder Bet Hargreaves: "Our ongoing studies of dogs show that following routine vaccination,there is a significant rise in the level of antibodies dogs produceagainst their own tissues. Some of these antibodies have been shown totarget the thyroid gland, connective tissue such as that found in thevalves of the heart, red blood cells, DNA, etc. I do believe that theheart conditions in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels could be the endresult of repeated immunisations by vaccines containing tissue culturecontaminants that cause a progressive immune response directed atconnective tissue in the heart valves. The clinical manifestationswould be more pronounced in dogs that have a genetic predispositionthe findings should be generally applicable to all dogs regardless oftheir breed." I must mention here that Dr Glickman believes that vaccines are anecessary evil, but that safer vaccines need to be developed. Meanwhile, please join the queue to place your dog, cat, horse andchild on the Russian roulette wheel because a scientist says youshould. Vaccines Stimulate an Inflammatory ResponseThe word "allergy" is synonymous with "sensitivity" and"inflammation" . It should, by rights, also be synonymous with the word"vaccination" . This is what vaccines do: they sensitise (renderallergic)an individual in the process of forcing them to developantibodies to fight a disease threat. In other words, as isacknowledged and accepted, as part of the vaccine process the bodywill respond with inflammation. This may be apparently temporary or itmay be longstanding. Holistic doctors and veterinarians have known this for at least 100years. They talk about a wide range of inflammatory or "-itis" diseaseswhich arise shortly after a vaccine event. Vaccines, in fact, plungemany individuals into an allergic state. Again, this is a disorderthat ranges from mild all the way through to the suddenly fatal.Anaphylactic shock is the culmination: it's where an individual has amassive allergic reaction to a vaccine and will die within minutes ifadrenaline or its equivalent is not administered. There are some individuals who are genetically not well placed towithstand the vaccine challenge. These are the people (and animals are"people", too) who have inherited faulty B and T cell function. B andT cells are components within the immune system which identify foreigninvaders and destroy them, and hold the invader in memory so that theycannot cause future harm. However, where inflammatory responses areconcerned, the immune system overreacts and causes unwanted effectssuch as allergies and otherinflammatory conditions. Merck warns in its Manual that patients with, or from families with,B and/or T cell immunodeficiencies should not receive live-virusvaccines due to the risk of severe or fatal infection. Elsewhere, itlists features of B and T cell immunodeficiencies as food allergies,inhalant allergies, eczema, dermatitis, neurological deterioration andheart disease. To translate, people with these conditions can die ifthey receive live-virus vaccines. Their immune systems are simply notcompetent enough to guarantee a healthy reaction to the viral assaultfrom modified live-virus vaccines. Modified live-virus (MLV) vaccines replicate in the patient until animmune response is provoked. If a defence isn't stimulated, then thevaccine continues to replicate until it gives the patient the verydisease it was intending to prevent. Alternatively, a deranged immune response will lead to inflammatoryconditions such as arthritis, pancreatitis, colitis, encephalitis andany number of autoimmune diseases such as cancer and leukaemia, wherethe body attacks its own cells. A new theory, stumbled upon by Open University student Gary Smith,explains what holistic practitioners have been saying for a very longtime.. Here is what a few of the holistic vets have said in relation totheir patients: Dr Jean Dodds: "Many veterinarians trace the present problems withallergic and immunologic diseases to the introduction of MLVvaccines..." (9) Christina Chambreau, DVM: "Routine vaccinations are probably theworst thing that we do for our animals. They cause all types ofillnesses, but not directly to where we would relate them definitelyto be caused by the vaccine." (10) Martin Goldstein, DVM: "I think that vaccines...are leading killersof dogs and cats in America today."Dr Charles E. Loops, DVM: "Homoeopathic veterinarians and otherholistic practitioners have maintained for some time that vaccinationsdo more harm than they provide benefits." (12)Mike Kohn, DVM: "In response to this violation, there have beenincreased autoimmune diseases (allergies being one component),epilepsy, neoplasia , as well as behavioural problems in smallanimals."

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hmmm,I wonder now if the battery of Vaccines I had to get in 2002 in order to immigrate to the United States had anything to do with the formation of my Liposarcoma. Up until that time I had only had my Hep B (mandatory for RNs). My parents refused to allow us to be vaccinated as we were growing up and I was in excellent health until I started living away from home.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Eva. i dont know much about vaccines, but i send 5 post for you and the group to read. Hugs Mary - Eva Klein-Otis oleander soup Tuesday, February 24, 2009 12:14 PM Re: Re: Science of Vaccine Damage Hmmm,I wonder now if the battery of Vaccines I had to get in 2002 in order to immigrate to the United States had anything to do with the formation of my Liposarcoma. Up until that time I had only had my Hep B (mandatory for RNs). My parents refused to allow us to be vaccinated as we were growing up and I was in excellent health until I started living away from home.
