Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hi It was University of British Columbia (sorry -- University of Calgary linked mercury from flu vaccine with Alzheimers). Any way here is the original article with link before it was published. I will send you the published link next. In summary: 1. It's not just about mercury.2. The cells and molecules don't lie. They researchers did not study HEP B, they studied aluminum hydroxide, an ingredient in most US brands of HEP A vaccine and HEP B vaccine. Any way, they got neuronal death, ALS and all other sorts of fun stuff. http://www.straight.com/content.cfm?id=16717Georgia Straight, CanadaVaccines show sinister sideBy Pieta WoolleyPublish Date: 23-Mar-2006If two dozen once-jittery mice at UBC are telling the truth postmortem, theworld’s governments may soon be facing one hell of a lawsuit. New,so-far-unpublished research led by Vancouver neuroscientist Shaw showsa link between the aluminum hydroxide used in vaccines, and symptomsassociated with Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or LouGehrig’s disease), and Alzheimer’s.Shaw is most surprised that the research for his paper hadn’t been donebefore. For 80 years, doctors have injected patients with aluminumhydroxide, he said, an adjuvant that stimulates immune response.“This is suspicious,” he told the Georgia Straight in a phone interview fromhis lab near Street and West 12th Avenue. “Either this [link] isknown by industry and it was never made public, or industry was never madeto do these studies by Health Canada. I’m not sure which is scarier.”Similar adjuvants are used in the following vaccines, according to Shaw’spaper: hepatitis A and B, and the Pentacel cocktail, which vaccinatesagainst diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and a type of meningitis.To test the link theory, Shaw and his four-scientist team from UBC andLouisiana State University injected mice with the anthrax vaccine developedfor the first Gulf War. Because Gulf War Syndrome looks a lot like ALS, Shawexplained, the neuroscientists had a chance to isolate a possible cause. Alldeployed troops were vaccinated with an aluminum hydroxide compound.Vaccinated troops who were not deployed to the Gulf developed similarsymptoms at a similar rate, according to Shaw.After 20 weeks studying the mice, the team found statistically significantincreases in anxiety (38 percent); memory deficits (41 times the errors asin the sample group); and an allergic skin reaction (20 percent). Tissuesamples after the mice were “sacrificed” showed neurological cells weredying. Inside the mice’s brains, in a part that controls movement, 35percent of the cells were destroying themselves.“No one in my lab wants to get vaccinated,” he said. “This totally creepedus out. We weren’t out there to poke holes in vaccines. But all of a sudden,oh my God—we’ve got neuron death!”At the end of the paper, Shaw warns that “whether the risk of protectionfrom a dreaded disease outweighs the risk of toxicity is a question thatdemands our urgent attention.”He’s not the only one considering that.The charge that there’s a sinister side to magic bullets isn’t new. With hispen blazing, celebrity journalist F. Kennedy Jr. popularized vaccinescepticism with his article arguing that mercury in vaccines causes autism,which ran in the June 2005 Rolling Stone and on-line at Salon.com. So didlast year’s vaccines-linked-to- autism bestseller, Evidence of Harm by Kirby (St. ’s Press). But there’s a potential public-health cost toall the controversy, according to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control.“Vaccines have been a victim of their own success,” spokesperson Ian Roetold the Straight in a telephone interview from Ottawa. Diseases such aspolio, which killed his father-in-law, are almost eradicated and thereforeno longer serve as a warning to parents. But the epidemic threat is stillreal. “If everyone decided to not get vaccinated, we’d live in a verydifferent world.”Canada’s last national immunization conference, in December 2004, heard areport that vaccine coverage is sometimes low. For diphtheria, the PublicHealth Agency of Canada found that just 75 percent of two-year-olds areimmunized; the target is 99 percent. For tetanus, just 66 percent of17-year-olds are immunized, compared to a target of 97 percent.Dr. Gold, the former head of the infectious-disease division atToronto’s Hospital for Sick Children, told the conference that “we willnever be without an anti-vaccine movement,” but “in reality, there is noscientific evidence for these myths.”Shaw acknowledges that there’s a lot of pressure on parents to vaccinatetheir children. “You’re considered to be a really bad parent if you don’tvaccinate,” he said—and your child can’t attend public school. “But I don’tthink the safety of vaccines is demarcated. How does a parent make adecision based on what’s available? You can’t make an intelligent decision.”Conservatively, he said, if one percent of vaccinated humans develop ALSfrom vaccine adjuvants, it would still constitute a health emergency.It’s possible, he said, that there are 10,000 studies that show aluminumhydroxide is safe for injections. But he hasn’t been able to find any thatlook beyond the first few weeks of injection. If anyone has a study thatshows something different, he said, please “put it on the table. That’s howyou do science.”Neuroscience research is difficult, Shaw said, because symptoms can takeyears to manifest, so it’s hard to prove what caused the symptoms.“To me, that calls for better testing, not blind faith.”He pointed out that W. Bush passed legislation that opens the doorfor the USA to order a nationwide anthrax immunization campaign, with thethreat of bioterrorism.Shaw’s paper is currently undergoing a peer review.

The Hep.B shot required for college now, is "the one that broke the camel's back" for my youngest son, as he dove into a life threatening depression after taking it his senior year in HS.-- So the doctor wrote an exemption for him not to get the boosters for it in college. It took him a year to get the heavy metals out of his system through neuromodulation. Now he's a buyer at a prominent natural food store....
