We read EOH - What is your Pediatrician Reading? You may be shocked.

[Guest guest]

The mail carrier accidentally delivered a copy of the " Pediatric

News " to my house yesterday (there must be a pediatrician living one

block over at the same address). It can be seen online at

www.pediatricnews.com.

I read the whole newsletter cover to cover last night, as though I

had my opponent's play book. I was floored at what the pediatric

community is talking about, and even more shocked at Big Pharma's ads

throughout.

One of my biggest surprises was an ad for Culturelle, which we take

daily here. It was marketed as, " Protecting against antibiotic-

induced diarrhea in children. " So they know antibiotics mess up your

gut????

Here are some other headliners and select quotes, sure to catch your

attention. It is worth reading the headers for all below:

(1) Immunity via Hepatitis B Vaccine May Wane at 15

" Protection in those vaccinated as newborns may begin to subside at

around 15 years. "

(2) Menactra Urged for All Aged 11 to 18

" With increased supply, we have the opportunity to include all youth,

not just those at highest risk. "

(3) Universal Flu Vaccination Would Strain Delivery

Schools should be the new location to receive the recommended flu

vaccine in the 2008 flu season, ore else " more than 41.5 million

extra visits to pediatric offices would be needed annually to meet

the increased demand. "

(4) Giving Adults the Children Conjugate Vaccine may backfire

" Immunogenicity among elderly patients who were given the children's

dost was nothing to get overly excited about. "

(5) First Year of Use Bivalent HPV Vaccine Shows 90% Efficacy

" The vaccine, Cervarix, has not yet been approved by the FDA. "

(6) Video Training Tool Improves ADHD Symptoms

" They observed significant decreases in inattention and significant

improvement in the working memory and other functions. "

(7) Head Banging Typically Goes Away

" Head banging is present in 3-15% of children . . . .'Sometimes I

have parents bring in smart, verbal 3 year olds that talk up a storm

and engage with you, and they say, 'I'm worried about autism, " Dr.

said. 'They don't have it in perpective. The symptom itself

scares people.' "

(8) ProQuad (MMR maker) Supply Unavailable for Rest of Year

" Merck had prioritized the production of Varivax and Zostavaz over

that of ProQuad. . then the bulk was suspended because of low yields. "

(9) Cord Blood Infusion Treatment Promising in Type 1 Diabetes

" Transfusion of stored autologous umbilical cord blood reduced

disease severity in a small study of children with newly diagnosed

type 1 diabetes. "

(10) Many Parents Undecided about Teen Vaccines

" Parents' safety concerns about children's vaccines may negatively

influcent their decision about vaccination, but physician

recommendations can override that. "

(11) Are warning on antidepressants backfiring?

Suicide rates have increased significatly and " clearly, we are not in

a strong position to draw unambiguous conclusions about the causes of

these increases. "

(12) Letter to editor on timing of Hep B vaccine from doctor

" We have not started the fifth dose [as recommended] because it does

not make sense to us. "

(13) Low-Carbohydrate Diet Effective in Teens

" We might have just identified a highly motivated group of kids. "

(14) Behavioral therapy doesn't help in constipation

" Intensive behavioral therapy with laxatives is no better than

conventional therapy in the treatment of childhood constipation. "

(15) Prenatal blood lead screening aids in risk ID

" Universal prenatal screening of maternal blood lead levels

significantly increases the identification rate of women with

abnormal levels, allowing earlier ID of infants born at risk. "

(16) Risperdal ad

" First and only medication FDA approved for irritability associated

with autistic disorder in children 5-16. "

(17) Pediatricians said to lack savvy on food allergies

" Pediatricians' knowledge about food allergy presentation and

management 'is not quite up to speed.' "

(18) First formula with probiotics

" A new infant formula, Good Start Natural Cultures, is the first

routine formula in the US with probiotics for the promition of immune

health in infants. "

(19) Coverage rates higher with combo vaccines

" They pointed out that while there are clear advantages of

combination vaccines, such as a reduction in pain and anxiety, there

is not much evidence for other possible advantages of [combo]

vaccines. "

(20) Largest study to date supports Gardasil's safety in first year

of use

Athough 4 cases of death from HPV4 included " a 12 year old girl who

died of myocarditis after developing ventricular tachycardia, a 19

year old girl who died from sudden cardiac death and pulmonary

embolism (blood clots), a 14 year old who died from multiorgan system

failure due to influenze B viral sepsis, and a 4th case for whom few

data were available except her use of oral contraceptives, her death

was associated with blood clots. "

I'm just stunned. You know that they're getting propaganda, but it's

pretty shocking to actually read it anyway. I agree you should send

your own recommended reading material. I guess you could send them

the message that people in the community are onto them, know what

they know, know more than they know. You could download, print and

include counter-evidence to the false assertions being made in the

newsletter. Don't send it in the same package as the newsletter

though (though packaging them in an identical way is fine because it

can't be proven that you actually read the mail that wasn't intended

for you) and definitely anonymously.

Really interesting. I have found if

you ask your pedi about probiotics when your child has an infection and is

prescribed antibiotics, they say “YES, give lots of probiotics” BUT

they will not recommend it on their own without you asking. The new

formula was interesting. I wonder what strain they are using. This

one really caught my eye as DUH……

(14) Behavioral therapy doesn't help

in constipation

" Intensive behavioral therapy with laxatives is no better than

conventional therapy in the treatment of childhood constipation. "

No kidding! You mean pooping isn’t behavioral?? Halleluiah!!

I remember getting vaccinated at school a

couple of times. Early on in Kindergarten. I don’t remember

which vaccines. But I also remember fluoride treatments in the nurse’s

offices. I really don’t think they can do too much of this at

school right now. Everytime I walk into school the nurse’s office

is full now. Plus, I’ve seen the cupboard of medicines for

kids. It is full as well. They can’t expect a 1 nurse outfit

to do too much more. They also do the eye and hearing exams for every

kid. But if they do, I’m right there with you screaming my head

off. Our school nurse gets all of the info I send out at her request so

hopefully I won’t have to. -

What is your Pediatrician Reading? You may be shocked.

The mail carrier accidentally delivered a copy of the " Pediatric

News " to my house yesterday (there must be a pediatrician living one

block over at the same address). It can be seen online at

www.pediatricnews.com.

I read the whole newsletter cover to cover last night, as though I

had my opponent's play book. I was floored at what the pediatric

community is talking about, and even more shocked at Big Pharma's ads

throughout.

One of my biggest surprises was an ad for Culturelle, which we take

daily here. It was marketed as, " Protecting against antibiotic-

induced diarrhea in children. " So they know antibiotics mess up your

gut????

Here are some other headliners and select quotes, sure to catch your

attention. It is worth reading the headers for all below:

(1) Immunity via Hepatitis B Vaccine May Wane at 15

" Protection in those vaccinated as newborns may begin to subside at

around 15 years. "

(2) Menactra Urged for All Aged 11 to 18

" With increased supply, we have the opportunity to include all youth,

not just those at highest risk. "

(3) Universal Flu Vaccination Would Strain Delivery

Schools should be the new location to receive the recommended flu

vaccine in the 2008 flu season, ore else " more than 41.5 million

extra visits to pediatric offices would be needed annually to meet

the increased demand. "

(4) Giving Adults the Children Conjugate Vaccine may backfire

" Immunogenicity among elderly patients who were given the children's

dost was nothing to get overly excited about. "

(5) First Year of Use Bivalent HPV Vaccine Shows 90% Efficacy

" The vaccine, Cervarix, has not yet been approved by the FDA. "

(6) Video Training Tool Improves ADHD Symptoms

" They observed significant decreases in inattention and significant

improvement in the working memory and other functions. "

(7) Head Banging Typically Goes Away

" Head banging is present in 3-15% of children . . . .'Sometimes I

have parents bring in smart, verbal 3 year olds that talk up a storm

and engage with you, and they say, 'I'm worried about autism, " Dr.

said. 'They don't have it in perpective. The symptom itself

scares people.' "

(8) ProQuad (MMR maker) Supply Unavailable for Rest of Year

" Merck had prioritized the production of Varivax and Zostavaz over

that of ProQuad. . then the bulk was suspended because of low yields. "

(9) Cord Blood Infusion Treatment Promising in Type 1 Diabetes

" Transfusion of stored autologous umbilical cord blood reduced

disease severity in a small study of children with newly diagnosed

type 1 diabetes. "

(10) Many Parents Undecided about Teen Vaccines

" Parents' safety concerns about children's vaccines may negatively

influcent their decision about vaccination, but physician

recommendations can override that. "

(11) Are warning on antidepressants backfiring?

Suicide rates have increased significatly and " clearly, we are not in

a strong position to draw unambiguous conclusions about the causes of

these increases. "

(12) Letter to editor on timing of Hep B vaccine from doctor

" We have not started the fifth dose [as recommended] because it does

not make sense to us. "

(13) Low-Carbohydrate Diet Effective in Teens

" We might have just identified a highly motivated group of kids. "

(14) Behavioral therapy doesn't help in constipation

" Intensive behavioral therapy with laxatives is no better than

conventional therapy in the treatment of childhood constipation. "

(15) Prenatal blood lead screening aids in risk ID

" Universal prenatal screening of maternal blood lead levels

significantly increases the identification rate of women with

abnormal levels, allowing earlier ID of infants born at risk. "

(16) Risperdal ad

I would be shocked if that ever happened. It's too much of a

liability for the school. My sister works in special ed and she

isn't even allowed to inject an epi-pen. She has to put it in the

kid's hand and force him/her to do it with a hand over hand

movement. While she would actually be the one forcing the injection,

techincally, the kid is doing it, so they are covered for liability

purposes.

, I know that Dr. Megson told us that antibiotics use to be

sold with a coating of Nystanin for that very same reason. I have also

heard from others in the field that recommended eating coconut for the

gut issues. Yes, they do know.
