Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 There's a blurb in EoH where it talks of a study done where there was no association found between Rhogam and autism. The study done by Judith Miles was presented at the American College of Medical Genetics. It found no association. Of course, Kirby points out that the study was funded by & (the maker of Rhogam which used to contain thimerosal). Come on, now. Can we say conflict of interest? Maybe the study is accurate but can we please get another one done which isn't funded by the freakin' company which is getting it's butt sued over the issue. What the hell! I had 6 Rhogam shots in 6 years. I just pinched myself, I'm still here... barely...

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Generation Rescue has a blurb about this (Don't quote my numbers exactly I don't have enough time right now to look it up) I do not know the source. But it states that (roughly)10-15% of the population has a negative blood type but that (roughly) 50% of autistic kids have Rh- moms. Again, don't know source or exact numbers. remeber this shot contained 62.5 micrograms of Hg until 2001 and is given at 28 weeks gestationally and right after birth..goes into breastmilk.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 for djberle The Rhogam given in 2002 usually contained thimerol, because the pharmacies and docs wanted to use it up; throwing it away was like throwing away money. my data suggest that the incidence of autism in infants of Rh neg mothers who received Rhogam was 8-9 fold the incidence of infants of Rh neg mothers who did not receive Rhogam.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 , RhoGAM Facts: 1. When RhoGAM was Thimerosal-preserved (possibly in date and used up to late 2003 in the US), RhoGam had a nominal 0.003 % (30 ppm) level of Thimerosal (30 micrograms of Thimerosal per mL) and NOT a 0.01% level of Thimerosal (100 micrograms per mL). 2. The average volume of serum in each RhoGAM syringe was 0.7 mL (0.6-0.9 mL). 3. Based on Point 2, the maximum nominal dose of Thimerosal (max syringe volume and max overage of preservative) from a Thimerosal- preserved RhoGAM shot was " 33+ micrograms " of Thimerosal or about 16.5 micrograms of mercury and, on average, the Thimerosal dose was 21 micrograms or 10.5 microgram of mercury. SEE: http://www.fda.gov/cber/blood/mercplasma.htm It does not serve anyone's interests to INFLATE the amount of mercury in a RhoGAM shot by a factor of about 2 or more! Hopefully, the preceding, which has been posted before, will set the record straight regarding RhoGAM exposure from a single dose. BayRho Facts: 1. When BayRho was Thimerosal-preserved (possibly in date and available for use up to late 1998 in the US), BayRho had a 0.01 % (100 ppm) level of Thimerosal (100 micrograms of Thimerosal per mL). 2. The average volume of serum in each RhoGAM syringe was also 0.7 mL (0.6 - 0.9 mL). 3. Based on Point 2, the maximum nominal dose of Thimerosal (max syringe volume and max overage of preservative) from a Thimerosal- preserved BayRho shot was " 112+ micrograms " of Thimerosal or 56 micrograms of mercury and, on average, the Thimerosal dose was 70 micrograms or 35 microgram of mercury. In addition, there is another product, licensed in 1996, WinRho SD, that is freeze-dried and contained " NO " Thimerosal. Most women in the US received RhoGam, a few BayRho, and a smaller number, WinRho SD. Rh-Negativity Prevalence & Approximate % of Autism Cases In Rh-Negative Mothers: Boyd Haley's estimate is 9 to 10 % of the pregnant women are Rh negative and these were the mothers of about 42% of the " autism " cases he tracked. According to another physician who is in the process of auditing the records of his practice over the last two+ decades, about 8.6 % of his patients were Rh negative and these accounted for about 26 % of the " autism " patients that he saw. These numbers should be considered as single- point estimates because: 1. There are no published national up-to-date US numbers, 2. The numbers depend on the racial backgrounds of the populations studied, and 3. The government has not tracked either the number of autism cases or the RH status, vaccination history, amalgam-filling load, blood mercury level, breastfeeding duration, weight, and diet of those mothers whose children are subsequently diagnosed with " autism " (or, for that matter, any other neurodevelopmental disorder or disease (e.g., asthma, allergy, type 2 diabetes, MS, or, in the elderly, dementias including Alzheimer's disease), which has had a sharp incidence increase since the late 1980s. Fetal and Post-Partum Mercury Exposures From RhoGam Injected Mothers Factually: 1. Based on studies of nursing Iraqi mothers who were exposed to mercury- based fungicides in the bread they first ate AFTER giving birth, the level of mercury in their breast milk was 1/100-th the level in their blood. 2. Animal studies indicate that the placenta absorbs and concentrates the mercury in the blood leading to the reality that the dose absorbed from the dose administered in RhoGAM is transferred to the fetus before birth. [The absorbed mercury from amalgam fillings, dietary sources, and post-natal vaccines administered to the mother are the principal sources of mercury in the breast milk.] Hopefully, this information is will help all understand the current state of the " facts " about Rh, Rho products, and the form of mercury-based or mercury-triggered neuro- developmental disorders diagnosed as DSM " REGRESSIVE autism " . Respectfully, Dr. King http://www.dr-king.com PS: FOOD FOR THOUGHT: For those who are skeptics of the role of mercury from Thimerosal and other sources, please consider that in those mercury- poisoned with Calomel-laced teething powders and worming preparations (claimed to be safe but, like Thimerosal-containing drugs, with NO PROOF of Safety) in the 1900s, not only did " Pink Disease " disappear after the withdrawal of these products from the market (in late 1930s and 1940s), but " stomach cancer " also went from being a major percent of the cancers diagnosed in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s to being a RARE cancer today -- Calomel is practically insoluble in water (2 micrograms per mL [1.7 ppm mercury] at 25 degrees C) but it is more soluble in stomach acid where it disproportionates into mercuric chloride (which is much more soluble in stomach acid [>1 g per 10 mL of stomach acid] driving the decomposition reaction towards completion) and metallic mercury. Also, in the mercury poisoning CAUSED by administering Calomel-laced medicines was commonly called " Pink Disease " because those affected had pink cheeks, and the palms of their hands and soles of their were dusty pink feet. In the mercury poisoning CAUSED by injecting babies with Thimerosal-preserved vaccines, the kids often have bright pink ears, precocious puberty caused by the elevation of their testosterone levels, elevated metalloporphrins in their urine, and digestive system upsets traceable to mercury-poisoned methylation pathways. When the total maximun dose of Thimerosal that children could receive decreased, the rate of neurodevelopmental disorders just " happened " to decrease and those who have never been vaccinated RARELY (< 1 in 15,000) have been diagnosed with " autism " and, in many cases, mercury poisoning from other sources has been established in those children who were not vaccinated but have been diagnosed with autism (e.g., Amish kids living downwind of a coal-fired power plant and eating food produced on the farms whose fields and water sources receive mercury from the power plant's emissions). ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ At 20:50 5/13/06 -0000, djberle wrote: > >Generation Rescue has a blurb about this >(Don't quote my numbers exactly I don't >have enough time right now to look it up) >I do not know the source.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Dr. King, I repsectfully thank you for your input. This is new info to me. this is the quote from GR's site regarding RhoGAM a. Any Vaccines Received During Pregnancy. The most likely vaccines mothers receive during pregnancy include the RhoGAM shot (for women who are Rh-negative) and the flu shot. " RhoGAM Moms " are approximately 15% of the general population but 49% of the population of mothers of autistic children. It is not named where those numbers came from. I will try to find out where I got the 62.5 micrograms of Hg info. If I can find that...you should contact " them " with your knowledge.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 http://tinyurl.com/2hb3o Because mercury crosses the placental barrier, the study also examined maternal exposure to mercury via food, dental fillings, and the thimerosal-containing Rho D immunoglobulin injections typically given to Rh-negative women—16 percent of the population—during pregnancy. Prior to the mid-1980s, an Rh-negative woman was given this injection only after delivery to prevent complications that can occur if the baby is Rh-positive. But Rh-negative women now receive Rho D injections at 28 or 34 weeks, and any time there is a chance of a mother's blood mixing with the baby's—after undergoing amniocentesis, for instance. The study found that nearly half of the autistic children's mothers had received Rho D injections, compared with only 9 percent in the control group. In addition, 37 percent of mothers in the autistic group also had 10 or more fillings containing mercury, compared with only 18 percent in the control group. The authors suggest that the near absence of mercury in hair samples of autistic infants despite higher exposure indicates that TCVs could be the last straw for children whose ability to excrete mercury is impaired or who are near a dangerous threshold due to maternal exposure. -----Original Message-----From: EOHarm [mailto:EOHarm ]On Behalf Of djberleSent: Saturday, May 13, 2006 4:50 PMEOHarm Subject: Re: RhoGamGeneration Rescue has a blurb about this (Don't quote my numbers exactly I don't have enough time right now to look it up) I do not know the source.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hi I was told that it actually varies. I had Louis in ham and best I can find out I had four jabs in the month pre delivery and that they have the highest dose in that area.( It was 13 years ago and of course no one can find my records) I then had Charlie in Sidcup where the dose was much lower and only given once. I was told that each Doctors/health authority apparently decides how many times you have this jab and at what dose. I consequently refused this for Madeleine. The jab protects your next baby - not the one you are carrying- and although the Midwifes were supportive the health authority freaked out as apparently " women often say they don't want more children but then fall pregnant again when they change their minds" What a silly giddy forty-something I obviously seemed to be ! Offered to give them the 'no more kids' declaration in writing and they left me alone. I have always thought that anti-D assault by ham hospital was one of Charlie biggest triggers - I must have been swimming in metal by the time I got pregnant with poor Char. So I guess I am saying that from what I have been told you would have to find out specifically what dose you were given to owrk it out. I don't know if that is right - just what my Health Auth told me when I was questioning when pregnant with moo... Regards Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Deborah, For what it is worth I went through much the same thing – as a rh- mum I was given 4 anti – d shots with my daughter because I kept having a bleed with her (no idea how much mercury because the other factor is whether you get from the top of the bottle or near the bottom, if they don’t shake between each take (as they are supposed too but don’t from what I have been told) then the closer to the bottom of the bottle the more mercury!) – had alex 22 mths later – and like you in hindsight have wondered how much of this was still in my system when I fell with him but another factor was he was the only child I was induced with over 2 days of contact with the gel – so not looking good there either! I seem to recall in the mists of time that there was a question mark over the anti –d shots. Regards Nikki Re: Rhogam Hi I was told that it actually varies.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 THanks...so what you're saying is that they didn't make it " official " until '90 to protect the docs from civil action, right? I find that ironic. Protect the doctors from med mal for NOT administering something that was harmful to the fetus....I am guessing that the odds of harm to the baby are the same or higher from Thimerosal containing RhoGam than Rh incompatibility. But that is just a guess. With my second child, I had an amniocentesis and I reminded the doctor to give me a RhoGam after the procedure. He had the wrong blood type in my file. Fortunately, he is not ASD. My first son was born with autism. My RhoGam was fully loaded, 80- 120 mcg. given at 26 weeks gestation. Got a second one after delivery. WEnt home from the hospital and couldn't feel my hands. Couldn't sleep, couldn't think straight, couldn't speak right. I think I had Hg poisoning myself. > > > > > > > > > > > Does anyone know what year the ACOG added the 28 week gestation dose > > of RhoGam to the protocol for Rh Negative women? > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Ok, I am sorry if this is a dumb question but I have noticed and read alot of the post and I do not even know what Rhogam is. As far as I know, I was never tested nor was my hubby. I did have blood work in the beginning of my pregnancy but that was it.... What is this, how do they determine if you or your baby has the + or - and what are the risk of getting the shot verses not getting it. Apparently, this book seems to have the information in it...... Thanks, Beth Rhogam Hi, I got a book from my midwife called " anti-D in Midwifery " by Sara Wickham. get it. Its all about Rh- I am also pregnant with my second, rh-, and my first was rh-. I have a 50/50 chance of having another rh- baby, because my husband is rh+. I am refusing rhogam during pregnancy (and probally after birth, even if the baby is positive) because rhogam cannot stop antibodies if i have them, it IS antibodies, it is the very thing I'm trying to avoid. if i got into a car accident and there was bleeding, then i would consider the shot, maybe. I am not finished reading the book, but the jist is this.... Rho gam is not needed in an uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery, blood mixing was a problem in the 70s and perhaps before because they were not letting the placenta detatch first and were yanking it out. Some countries don't even offer rhogam during pregnancy. 90% of women who are rh- and have a rh+ baby do not need rhogam. This is from the only testing trials done in the 60s. I don't believe doctors understand how rhogam works, i asked sooooo many questions the first time, and didn't get any thing resembling the truth i have dig out of the internet, sheri's site and now this great book.....

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I am astounded that in your country Rhogam is given during pregnancy. According to the 1998 Rhogam data sheet, it contained gamma globulin,sodium chloride, polysorbate 80, thimerosal and glycine. The 2006 Mercury free data sheet lists sodium chloride, polysorbate 80 and glycine as adjuvants. Polysorbate 80 has been linked to infertility and other disorders - see http://www.whale.to/v/tween_80.html also see http://www.whale.to/vaccines/bayer.html and in particular the response to Bayer's petition for clarification of the proposition 65 listing of " Mercury and Mercury Compounds " as chemicals known to cause reproductive toxicity. http://www.whale.to/vaccines/hgbayer1.pdf This report could and should also be used as evidence against the insanity of poisoning pregnant women with thimerosal-laced flu shots. Ingrid Does anyone know anything about what is in Rhogam besidews the blood product? I am concerned that there may be an adjuvant. ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
