Re: SIDS study 'takes the mystery away'

[Guest guest]

Brain stem abnormality is causal? or does it create increased

vulnerability to a xenobiotic rather than to risk factors like sleep

position.? This study does not appear to answer that question. The

headline of the story 'takes the mystery away' seems overly optimistic.

Yes, mercury (and mercury-containing vaccines) could cause defects in the brain stem and in serotonin production.

I wonder if vaccines trigger SIDS to these babies with brain stem abnormalities. I thought I read once that a big number of the SIDS death happen shortly after receiving DTP. If anyone knows what I'm talking about or if I'm just wrong and read this report wrong, please let me know.

A number of doctors have speculated just that.

I believe that also applies to shaken baby syndrome.
