What is Guillain-Barré syndrome? § Guillain-Barré (ghee-yan bah-ray) body's immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. first symptoms weakness or tingling sensations in the legs. spread to the arms and upper body. These symptoms can increase in intensity until certain muscles cannot be used at all and, when severe, the patient is almost totally paralyzed. In these cases the disorder is life threatening - potentially interfering with breathing and, at times, with blood pressure or heart rate - and is considered a medical emergency. Such a patient is often put on a respirator to assist with breathing and is watched closely for problems such as an abnormal heart beat, infections, blood clots, and high or low blood pressure. § Most patients, however, recover from even the most severe cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome, although some continue to have a certain degree of weakness.

POLIO § Even under epidemic conditions, natural polio produces no symptoms in over 90% of those exposed to it. There have been no cases of wild polio in the US in the last 20 years and those cases which have been documented have been caused by the vaccine.

§ Of every 100 people infected with polio, 90% remain symptomless § 9% develop slight signs, of stiff neck and sore throat § 1% paralysis § Can be carried months or years with no effect.

Interesting side note § Tonsillectomy: Doctor’s are starting to think that the polio epidemics of the 1940’s and 1950’s may have been caused by the high number of tonsillectomies done in the 1920’, 30’s and 40’s. They have discovered that the only area of the body that can synthesize the antibody to poliomyelitis is the tonsils. If you don’t have tonsils you can’t fight off polio.

§ Killed virus Ipol® -grown on monkey kidney cells, contains formaldehyde, § triple antibiotics. § Poliovax® -grown on cells from an aborted baby, contains formaldehyde, § cow serum § triple antibiotic solution § The monkey kidney cells used in the original killed polio vaccine contains SIV-40 and has been found in tumor cells of children whose parent's were vaccinated against polio using the contaminated virus. § The live vaccine is grown on monkey kidney cells, antibiotics and calf serum.

Polio vaccine adverse reactions § Killed virus polio: temperature of *102° in up to 38%, sleepiness, fussiness, crying, decreased appetite, vomiting, Guillain-Barré Syndrome and allergic reaction in those allergic to neomycin, polymyxin B and streptomycin. § Live virus polio: Reactions include contraction of polio by those who have received the virus and by those who have come into contact with body fluids and wastes of the immunized person. Paralytic symptoms may follow contraction of polio. Live virus is reportedly shed for up to 8 weeks after the inoculation. Guillain-Barré Syndrome has also been noted.

POLIO same pattern as smallpox All cases since 1970 among VACCINATED (Jonas Salk, 1977) 30 years later, American children are still getting 4 separate polio shots!

HIB Not required, but very encouraged § Hemophyilis Influenza type b § Not a disease but a bacteria. One of 3 common bacterias, along with pneumoccal, meningitis. § Since the vaccine, the other 2 bacteria have increased

HIB vaccine ingredients § haemophilus influenza B, polyribosylribitol phosphate, yeast, ammonium sulfate, thimerosal, and chemically defined yeast-based medium

MMR § § § Measles Mumps Rubella

Measles (9 day measles) § Measles begins with fever , then cough, runny nose, and conjunctivitis ("pink eye"). Infections of the middle ears, pneumonia, croup, and diarrhea are common complications. Measles encephalitis (an infection of the brain) occurs in 1 per 1, 000 cases of natural measles, frequently resulting in permanent brain damage in the survivors.

measles § Approximately 5% of children (500 out of 10, 000) with measles will develop pneumonia. In addition, 1 to 3 of every 1, 000 children who get measles in the United States dies from the disease. § Death is more common in infants, in malnourished children, and among immunocompromised persons, including those with leukemia and HIV infection

Vaccine ingredients MMR § measles, mumps, rubella live virus, neomycin sorbitol, hydrolized gelatin, chick embryonic fluid, and human diploid cells from aborted fetal tissue

side effects of measles vaccine § § § paralysis anaphylaxis retardation Reye’s Syndrome meningitis Guillian Barr syndrome MS seizure blood clots infant diabetes autism ENCEPHALITIS! - Mendelsohn

§ In the United States, two vaccines in the routine pediatric immunization schedule utilize human diploid cell cultures (from aborted fetuses) in their manufacturing process. They are the vaccine against rubella (German measles), and the vaccine against varicella (chickenpox

Mumps § Humans are the only known natural host for mumps virus. The virus is spread via direct contact or by airborne droplets from the URT and requires significant contact for transmission

Mumps symptoms § Non specific myalgia, headache, malais and low grade fever followed by unilatera or bilateral swellin of the parotic glands. Illness completely resoves within one week § 30% of case have no symptoms at all

Mumps concerns Orchitis (testicle inflammation) seen in post pubertal males 80% of cases are unilateral Sterility VERY RARE; no loss of hormone fx Oophoritis (Ovary inflammation) Seen in post pubertal females Sx tenderness and pain and can mimic appendicitis if the rt ovary is involved. No evidence of impaired fertility

Rubella (3 day measles)

Rubella symptoms § Children generally have few symptoms, but adults may experience fever, headache, malaise, and a runny nose before the rash appears. A person can transmit the disease from 1 week before the onset of the rash, until 1 -2 weeks after the rash disappears

Rubella § The main reason to give Rubella vaccine is to prevent birth defects.

Rubella vaccine adverse reactions § § Chronic arthritis Hearing loss Optic neuritis, myelitis Ebstein barr viris

Chicken Pox

The look of Chicken pox § Chicken pox lesions

What is it? § What is chickenpox? Chickenpox, or varicella, is a contagious disease caused by a virus. member of the herpes virus family. Chickenpox is considered by many experts to be a relatively harmless childhood disease. § Symptoms include a fever, runny nose, sore throat, and an itchy skin rash which can appear anywhere on the body. The rash and disease usually disappear after one or two weeks. The disease confers permanent immunity; the child will not contract it again.

§ Is chickenpox dangerous? Chickenpox can be itchy and uncomfortable for a few days. Serious problems are rare. Every year, of the millions of people in the United States who contract this disease, about 50 die from related complications. Many of these are in adults who did not have chickenpox as a child, or in previously unhealthy children-youngsters with already weakened immune systems from other diseases, such as AIDS, leukemia, or cancer

WHAT' S IN THE CHICKEN POX VACCINE? § Varivax - Chickenpox Merck & Co. , Inc. § varicella live virus neomycin phosphate, sucrose, and monosodium glutamate (MSG) processed gelatin, fetal bovine serum, guinea pig embryo cells, albumin from human blood, and human diploid cells from aborted fetal tissue

Chicken Pox adverse reactions § Side effects and adverse reactions for the chicken pox vaccine include: contracting chicken pox from the live vaccine (27%), pain and redness at site, swelling, erythema, rash, pruritus, hematoma, induration, stiffness, upper respiratory illness, cough, irritability/nervousness, fatigue, disturbed sleep, diarrhea, loss of appetite, vomiting, otitis, diaper rash/contact rash, nausea, eye complaints, chills, lymphadenopathy, myalgia, lower respiratory illness, headache, teething, malaise, abdominal pain, other rash, allergic reactions including rash and hives, stiff neck, heat rash/prickly heat, arthralgia, eczema/dry skin/dermatitis, constipation, itching, pneunonitis, febrile seizures, and cold/canker sore.

How safe is the chickenpox vaccine? § Adverse reactions in recipients of the chickenpox vaccine occurred at a rate of 67. 5 reports per 100, 000 doses sold § cases of neurological disorders, immune system damage, blood disorders, brain inflammation, seizures, and death

§ Probably 20% of American children—one youngster in five--- suffers from "development disability". This is a stupefying figure…. . . the primary cause of encephalitis. . . is the childhood vaccination program. To be specific, a large proportion of the millions of US children and adults suffering from autism, seizures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, dyslexia, and other shoots or branches of the hydraheaded entity called "development disabilities", owe their disorders to one or another of the vaccines against childhood diseases. "—Harris L. Coulter, Ph. D.

What I learned, in simple terms, that made sense.

How to boost immunity § Breast Feed for as long as possible § Mom take Vitamins: Vitamin C 10006000 mg (or to bowel tolerance), Vitamin E 400 IU, B-complex 20 -30 mg, beta carotene 100 mg, zinc 10 mg, copper 200 mcg, selenium 50 mg, coenzyme Q 10 mg, Vitamin A 2000 IU § Probiotics and Omega 3 fatty acids

For Children § § § Vitamin C Good multivitamin Cholostrum Probiotic Omega 3 fatty acid (flax seed)

§ § § Reduce sugar intake (fruit juices) Increase fiber Get adjusted, so nervous system functions 100%! Good books to have: § Superimmunity for kids, by Leo Galland MD § Beyond Antibiotics, by Michael Schmidt

If forced or chose to vaccinate 1. Vitamin C- Pre-treat 5 days, the day of and 5 days after vaccination adult - to bowel tolerance child - 10 mg/pound 1 -2 times a day 2. Vitamin A: pre-treat 3 days before and day of vaccination adult- 100, 000 IU/day child - 25 -50, 000 IU/day
