Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 I posted yesterday about my mother being diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She has had close to 12 or more flu shots consequetively over the past years. I had read articles like the one below but didn't realize how closely the behaviors and " symptoms " are to the behaviors in autism. This should be a clear indicator that mercury plays a part in our children's autism, as well as some of our parents developing Alzheimer's. The following information was extracted from an article in Alive #210 April 2000 THE FLU VACCINE MYTH by Croft Woodruff, President of EDTA Chelation Association of British Columbia After criticizing media promotion of the flu vaccine and the failure of the vaccine to protect people in British Columbia from the disease in the winter of 1999-2000, author Woodruff went on to cite Hugh Fudenberg, MD, " the world's most quoted biologist " and author of 850 published peer-review articles, who reported a correlation between flu shots and Alzheimer's disease. In a study conducted between 1879 and 1980, Fudenberg found that a person who had received five flu shots during those years was 10 times as likely to develop Alzheimer's as those who had had one, two or no shots at all. He attributed this to the mercury and aluminum components of the vaccine. " The gradual mercury and aluminum buildup in the brain causes cognitive disfunction " and could be one of the reasons why the incidence of Alzheimer's is expected to quadruple. Because mercury and aluminum as well as formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, are common vaccine components, this assault on the brain starts with shots administered in infancy. Vaccines are also contaminated with foreign proteins from culture mediums derived from " chick embryos, chicken and duck egg protein, pig or horse blood, dog kidney tissue, monkey kidney tissue, calf serum, rabbit brain tissue, aborted human fetal cells or cowpox pus " . Injected directly into the blood stream, these proteins are not destroyed by stomach acid and wind up in the liver where they can cause anything from a mild indisposition to serious reactions, including death. Woodruff noted that prior to the 1960's when vaccination was made compulsory, the US had the second lowest rating for infant mortality. Today, it ranks 24th, far behind other advanced countries. Infant mortality in Sweden dropped after 1979 when that country stopped using the pertussis vaccine. In 1975, Japan delayed adminstering the pertussis vaccine until children were two years old. Since then, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) " has largely disappeared " , Every year 12,000 to 14,000 adverse reactions to vaccines are reported to the American Food and Drug Administration. (Given the reluctance of doctors to report adverse reactions, this is probably just a fraction of damage that occurs but is not attributed to vaccines.) " Any drug on the market with a fraction of this record would be recalled in short order. " " Recent Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) vaccine campaigns in the US have coincided with a 200 per cent rise in the incidence of autism. Hepatitis B vaccine alone has been responsible for 25,000 reports of adverse reactions including optic neuritis, brain damage, paralytic polio and sudden death. " The article goes on to point out that " there is not an insurance underwriter who will offer liability coverage for drug companies in the event any of their vaccines cause death or disability to the recipient. " It points out that the US government has assumed responsibility for compensation to the vaccine-damaged, but misses the irony that the money actually comes from the parents of vaccine recipients in the form of a surcharge on each dose. It goes on to say, " The current effort to make vaccines compulsory world wide will be a license to print money for the vaccine producers and an iatrogenic health disaster of the first magnitude. " The following references were listed but not in relation to their place in the text: s Hopkins Newsletter, Nov. 1998 National Vaccine Information Center, Conference Sept. 1997 Rimland, Bernard, PhD " The Autism Explosion " Scheibner, Viera, PhD Vaccination: 100 Years of Orthodox Research Shows that Vaccines Represent an Assault on the Immune System, 1993 US Congressional Committee Oversight Hearings on Vaccine Safety, Rep.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 My Mom was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She has had at least 12 flu shots the past years. Although I had read articles about the link between Flu shots and Alzheimer's I didn't know that it kills as well as neurologically impairs. The most surprising find though, is the similarities between autism behaviors and those of Alzheimer's patients. For those who have autistic children you should see this yourself in the information below: Moderate or Middle Stage AD By this stage, Alzheimer's disease damage has spread further to the areas of the cerebral cortex that control language, reasoning, sensory processing, and conscious thought. Affected regions continue to atrophy and signs and symptoms of the disease become more pronounced and widespread. Behavior problems, such as wandering and agitation, can occur. More intensive supervision and care become necessary, and this can be difficult for many spouses and families. Behavior is the result of complex brain processes, all of which take place in a fraction of a second in the healthy brain. In AD, many of these processes are disturbed, and this is the basis for many distressing or inappropriate behaviors. For example, a person may angrily refuse to take a bath or get dressed because he does not understand what his caregiver has asked him to do. If he does understand, he may not remember how to do it. The anger is a mask for his confusion and anxiety. Or, a person with AD may constantly follow her husband or caregiver and fret when the person is out of sight. To a person who cannot remember the past or anticipate the future, the world around her can be strange and frightening. Sticking close to a trusted and familiar caregiver may be the only thing that makes sense and provides security. Taking off clothes may seem reasonable to a person with AD who feels hot and doesn't understand or remember that undressing in public is not acceptable. Symptoms: Increasing memory loss and confusion. Shorter attention span. Problems recognizing close friends and/or family. Repetitive statements and/or movements. Restless, especially in late afternoon and at night. Occasional muscle twitches or jerking. Perceptual motor problems. Difficulty organizing thoughts, thinking logically. Can't find right words -- makes up stories to fill in blanks. Problems with reading, writing and numbers. May be suspicious, irritable, fidgety, teary or silly. Loss of impulse control -- sloppy -- won't bathe or afraid to bathe - - trouble dressing. Gains and then loses weight. May see or hear things that are not there. Needs full-time supervision. Examples: Can't remember visits immediately after you leave. Repetitive movements or statements. Sleeps often, awakens frequently at night and may get up and wander. Perceptual motor problems -- difficulty getting into a chair, setting the table for a meal. Can't find the right words. Problems with reading, numbers -- Can't follow written signs, write name, add or subtract. Suspicious -- May accuse spouse of hiding things, infidelity, may act childish. Loss of impulse control -- sloppier table manners; may undress at inappropriate times or in the wrong place. Huge appetite for junk food and other people's food; forgets when last meal was eaten, then gradually loses interest in food. Severe Stage AD (Click thumbnail to view areas of brain) In the last stage of AD, plaques and tangles are widespread throughout the brain, and areas of the brain have atrophied further. Patients cannot recognize family and loved ones or communicate in any way. They are completely dependent on others for care. All sense of self seems to vanish. At the end, patients may be in bed much or all of the time. Most people with AD die from other illnesses, frequently aspiration pneumonia. This type of pneumonia happens when a person is not able to swallow properly and breathes food or liquids into the lungs. Symptoms: Can't recognize family or image of self in mirror. Loses weight even with good diet. Little capacity for self care. Can't communicate with words. May put everything in mouth or touch everything. Can't control bowels, bladder. May have seizures, experience difficulty with swallowing, skin infections. Examples: Looks in mirror and talks to own image. Needs help with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting. May groan, scream or make grunting sounds. Sleeps more. Sources: 1. Care of Alzheimer's Patients: A Manual for Nursing Home Staff by P.
