My Multiple Sclerosis

Εδώ και καιρό μια νέα και πολλά υποσχόμενη ανακάλυψη έγινε από τον Ιταλό αγγειολόγο γιατρό Dr Zamboni, που σχετίζεται με τη ΣΚΠ. Λέγεται Χρόνια Εγκεφαλονωτιαία Φλεβική Ανεπάρκεια (ΧΕΝΦΑ). Ας δούμε πρώτα περί τίνος πρόκειται, τι σχέση μπορεί κατά τη γνώμη μας να έχει με το πρωτόκολλο του Dr Klenner.

Ο λόγος που καθυστερήσαμε, παρόλες τις πρώτες ενθαρρυντικές ενδείξεις, να ενημερώσουμε ήταν επειδή δεν θέλαμε αφενός να δημιουργήσουμε λάθος εντυπώσεις και αφετέρου θέλαμε να παρακολουθήσουμε λίγο περισσότερο το θέμα. Αισθανόμαστε πως ήρθε η ώρα να πούμε δυο λόγια μιας και θεωρούμε πως η ανακάλυψη αυτή μπορεί να συμβάλλει σε μεγάλο βαθμό σε αυτό που λέμε «Εξάλειψη των αιτιών της ΣΚΠ» αλλά και στον τομέα της θεραπείας όπως δείχνει η μέχρι τώρα εμπειρία. Επίσης μέσα από τα μέχρι τώρα δεδομένα ενισχύονται ουσιαστικά και με επιστημονικό τρόπο πλευρές του πρωτοκόλλου.

Ας δούμε πρώτα μερικά ερωτήματα με τις απαντήσεις τους:

1.Tί είναι η ΧΕΝΦΑ;

Η Χρόνια Εγκεφαλονωτιαία Φλεβική Ανεπάρκεια είναι ένα χρόνιο και εξελίξιμο, πρόβλημα όπου το αίμα έχει πρόβλημα να επιστρέψει στην καρδιά από τον εγκέφαλο και τη σπονδυλική στήλη. Προκαλείται από στένωση στις φλέβες που διατρέχουν τη σπονδυλική στήλη και τον εγκέφαλο. Συνήθως, συμβαίνει στις φλέβες που ονομάζονται σφαγγίτιδες και/ή άζυγος.
Λόγω αυτού του προβλήματος, χρειάζεται περισσότερος χρόνος για να επιστρέψει το αίμα στην καρδιά, και μπορεί να παλινδρομήσει πίσω στον εγκέφαλο και τη σπονδυλική στήλη. Προκαλείται οίδημα και διαρροή των ερυθρών αιμοσφαιρίων και υγρών στο λεπτό ιστό του εγκεφάλου και της σπονδυλικής στήλης. Το αίμα που παραμένει στον εγκέφαλο πολύ καιρό δημιουργεί “επιβραδυντική αιμάτωση”. Αυτό μπορεί να προκαλέσει έλλειψη οξυγόνου (υποξία) στον εγκέφαλο γεγονός που έχει συνδεθεί με το σύμπτωμα της αδυναμίας στη ΣΚΠ. Το πλάσμα και ο σίδηρος από το αίμα που αποθηκεύεται στον εγκεφαλικό ιστό είναι επίσης εξαιρετικά επιζήμιες.

Εν ολίγοις η ΧΕΝΦΑ είναι μια κατάσταση όπου η ροή του μη-οξυγονομένου αίματος από τις φλέβες που περιβάλλουν τον εγκέφαλο και τη σπονδυλική στήλη επιβραδύνεται ή διακόπτεται στο να επιστρέφει στην καρδιά.

2. Πως σχετίζεται αυτό με τη ΣΚΠ;

Πρέπει να πούμε ότι αυτό μάλλον δεν προκαλείται λόγω της ΣΚΠ αν και αρχικά υπήρξε μια τέτοια υπόθεση. Είναι πιθανότερο να πρόκειται για δυσμορφία στη φλέβα που ενδέχεται να υπάρχει ακόμα και από τη στιγμή που γεννιόμαστε. Επομένως, η ύπαρξη στένωσης, φαίνεται να είναι ανεξάρτητη από τη ΣΚΠ και να προϋπάρχει αυτής.
Ένας κορυφαίο Ιταλός χειρούργος ο Dr Paolo Zamboni ολοκλήρωσε μια προκαταρκτική έρευνα χρησιμοποιώντας υπέρηχους και MRV (magnetic resonance venography) για να εξετάσει τις φλέβες που οδηγούν στον εγκέφαλο σε εκατοντάδες ασθενείς και υγιείς. Ο Dr Zamboni ανακάλυψε οτι η πλειοψηφία των ασθενών με ΣΚΠ συμπεριλαμβανομένης και τη ίδιας του της γυναίκας, είχαν αλειωμένες ή παραμορφωμένες φλέβες (σφαγγίτιδες και άζυγος). Στους υγιείς ανθρώπους του δείγματος οι φλέβες δεν είχαν κανένα πρόβλημα.
Από τότε, άλλες δυο έρευνες έχουν διεξαγχθεί και επιβεβαιώνουν τη θεωρία. Η πρώτη, ανοιχτή μελέτη από τον Dr Zamboni, αφορούσε ασθενείς με ΣΚΠ και η δεύτερη σε τυχαιοποιημένη κλινική μελέτη αποκαλύφθηκε ένα 55% ασθενών με ΣΚΠ με διάφορες φλεβικές ανωμαλίες.

3. Σε πόσες περιπτώσεις πολλαπλής σκλήρυνσης υπάρχει και ΧΕΝΦΑ;

Eπιδημιολογικές μελέτες που πραγματοποιούνται από τις ερευνητικές ομάδες στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες και την Ευρώπη έχουν επιβεβαιώσει ότι υπάρχει μια συσχέτιση μεταξύ των δύο ασθενειών τουλάχιστον στο 90% των περιπτώσεων. Αυτή η συσχέτιση είναι πράγματι σταθερή και σημαντική.

4. Πώς εντοπίζεται η ΧΕΝΦΑ;

Η ΧΕΝΦΑ μπορεί να εντοπιστεί με τη βοήθεια μιας μη επεμβατικής τεχνικής αποκαλούμενης echo-Doppler (υπερηχογράφημα Doppler). Με τη μέθοδο αυτή εξετάζεται αν είναι φυσιολογική η ροή του αίματος στη σφαγίτιδες και εξαρτάται πάρα ολύ από την ικανότητα του εξεταστή.
Η μέθοδος της μαγνητική φλεβογραφίας δεν θεωρείτε αξιόπιστη και ακόμα και αν δεν δείξει κάποιο πρόβλημα πρέπει να γίνεται και το υπερηχογράφημα Doppler. Φυσικά κανείς πρέπει να ξεκινάει από το τελευταίο σε κάθε περίπτωση.
Παίζει μεγάλο ρόλο και η εμπειρία του γιατρού γιατί είναι δυνατόν ενώ υπάρχει πρόβλημα, να μην υπάρχει κάτι ακόμα και το υπερηχογράφημα Doppler. Οπότε ψάξτε το μέχρι τέλους!
Ο Dr Zamboni διαθέτει ένα πολύ συγκεκριμένο πρωτόκολλο για την εξέταση Doppler στη σφαγίτιδα φλέβα και μπορείτε να το κατεβάσετε εδώ.

5. Μπορεί να θεραπευτεί η ΧΕΝΦΑ;

Γίνεται επέμβαση με «μπαλονάκι». Με τη μέθοδο που ονομάζεται επεμβατική φλεβογραφία, επιβεβαιώνονται τα ευρήματα του υπερήχου μεθόδου Doppler σφαγίτιδας φλέβας και στη συνέχεια με τη μέθοδο της αγγειοπλαστικής με μπαλονάκι διανοίγεται η φλέβα. Συγκεκριμένα, χρησιμοποιείται καθετήρας, που καθοδηγείται από τον ακτινολόγο εισάγεται στις φλέβες του ασθενή περνώντας μέσα από μια οπή που γίνεται στη φλέβα. Όταν εντοπίζονται παρεμποδίσεις φλεβών, ο καθετήρας διογκώνει ένα μπαλόνι που διαστέλλει τα στενέματα.
Δεν απαιτεί εισαγωγή στο νοσοκομείο, χειρουργείο ή γενική αναισθησία και είναι ανώδυνη διαδικασία. Μπορεί ανάλογα με την περίπτωση να διαρκέσει από 1 εώς μερικές ώρες.

6. Υπάρχει πιθανότητα επαναστένωσης;
Ναι. Γι’αυτό και μετά την επέμβαση γίνονται συχνές εξετάσεις. Σε περίπτωση που αυτό συμβεί μπορεί να ακολουθήσουν νέες επεμβάσεις χωρίς πρόβλημα. Επίσης αν το πρόβλημα είναι στην άζυγο, τότε μειώνονται πολύ οι πιθανότητες για επαναστένωση.
Η χρήση stends έχει προταθεί όμως λόγω της επικινδυνότητάς της πρέπει να αποφεύγεται.

7. Η θεραπεία της ΧΕΝΦΑ επηρεάζει την πορεία της πολλαπλής σκλήρυνσης;

Ναι. Φαίνεται ότι η βελτιωμένη φλεβική κυκλοφορία στον εγκέφαλο μειώνει τον αριθμό υποτροπών και ενεργών εστιών και βελτιώνει τη ποιότητα ζωής. Στους ασθενείς με επιδεινούμενη πολλαπλή σκλήρυνση, η επιδείνωση μπορεί να σταματήσει ή να επιβραδυνθεί. Υπάρχουν θεαματικά αποτελέσματα σε συμπτώματα, που ποικίλλουν ανάλογα με την περίπτωση.

8. Ποια η σχέση της ΧΕΝΦΑ με το πρωτόκολλο του Dr Klenner;

Στο πρωτόκολλο περιλαμβάνονται καταπόσιμες βιταμίνες οι οποίες έχουν άμεση ή έμμεση σχέση με την αποκατάσταση ή βελτίωση της αιματικής ροής στον οργανισμό. Πρώτη και καλύτερη βιταμίνη που χρησιμοποιείται στη θεραπεία είναι η Νιασίνη (Βιταμίνη Β3). Η Νιασίνη δημιουργεί υπεραιμία για κάποιο διάστημα και πολλοί ασθενείς δηλώνουν μια άμεση βελτίωση της κατάστασης τους για όσο διαρκεί. Η βελτίωση της αιμάτωσης σε περιοχές βλάβης από τη ΣΚΠ, βοηθά στο να μεταφέρονται σε τριχοειδή αγγεία και σημεία με πρόβλημα τα θρεπτικά συστατικά που μεταφέρονται μέσω του αίματος.
Σημαντικό επίσης ρόλο παίζει η Βιταμίνη Ε και το Fish Oil τα οποία εκτός των άλλων βοηθούν στην στη βελτίωση της αιματικής ροής.
Τέλος σημαντικό ρόλο για την προστασία των φλεβών αλλά και ενάντια στην οξείδωση παίζει η βιταμίνη C.

Το σώμα χρειάζεται τη βιταμίνη C για να κατασκευάζει δύο σημαντικούς συνδετικούς ιστούς: κολλαγόνου και ελαστίνης. Και οι δύο αυτές ουσίες χρησιμοποιούνται για την επισκευή και συντήρηση ώστε να κρατιέται ισχυρή και ευέλικτη η φλέβα. Ακόμη πιο σημαντική για τη διατήρηση της υγείας των φλεβών και των τριχοειδών αγγείων είναι τα βιοφλανοειδή. Οι χημικές ενώσεις που βρίσκονται συχνά στην ίδια τρόφιμα όπως βιταμίνη C και χαρακτηρίζονται ως μεταβολίτες της.
Τέλος όλα τα αντιοξειδωτικά είναι χρήσιμα λόγω της οξείδωσης λόγω παραγωγής σιδήρου, που προκαλείται στον οργανισμό όταν υπάρχει πρόβλημα στένωσης σε κάποια φλέβα σύμφωνα με τη ΧΕΝΦΑ.

9. Πρέπει να σταματήσω το πρωτόκολλο όταν κάνω την επέμβαση ;

ΣΥΝΗΘΩΣ, ΕΠΕΙΔΗ ΜΕΤΑ ΤΗΝ ΕΠΕΜΒΑΣΗ ΧΟΡΗΓΟΥΝΤΑΙ ΑΝΤΙΘΡΟΜΒΩΤΙΚΑ ΔΕΝ ΠΡΕΠΕΙ ΝΑ ΓΙΝΕΤΑΙ ΧΡΗΣΗ ΒΙΤΑΜΙΝΗΣ Ε ΚΑΙ FISH OIL. Σύμφωνα με ασθενείς που εφαρμόζουν το πρωτόκολλο, που εφάρμοσαν τη θεραπεία για ΧΕΝΦΑ και ρώτησαν το γιατρό τους δεν υπάρχει κίνδυνος και το συνέχισαν χωρίς προβλήματα.
Στην ερώτηση σε γιατρό αν υπάρχει πρόβλημα με τη χρήση Liver Extract λόγω του σιδήρου που περιέχει η απάντηση ήταν αρνητική. Επομένως ως τώρα εκτός της Βιταμίνης Ε και του Fish Oil κατά τη χρήση αντιθρομβωτικών το πρωτόκολλο μπορεί να συνεχιστεί μετά την επέμβαση. Σε κάθε περίπτωση βέβαια να ενημερώσετε το γιατρό σας.

Περισσότερες πληροφορίες ελπίζουμε να είναι διαθέσιμες σύντομα αφού το πως συνδυάζεται το πρωτόκολλο με τη θεραπεία της ΧΕΝΦΑ αποκτά εξαιρετικό ενδιαφέρον.
Ενημερώστε μας για όποια επιπλέον πληροφορία.

9. Υπάρχει κάτι άλλο που καλό είναι να κάνω μετά την επέμβαση;

Έκτός από τα αντιθρομβωτικά που χορηγούνται δεν γνωρίζουμε κάτι άλλο. Ενημερωθείτε από το γιατρό σας.

The truth is that it has not been precisely justified how the combination of the constituents of the protocol works for MS. Scientific research, profit-oriented, CRAB – centered and guided, is not able and above all it doesn’t aim at providing reasonable responses. Nevertheless, one can make several hypotheses about each suggested constituent by analyzing its properties and draw secure conclusions based on scientific research.

Fish Oil has known anti inflammation effects in blood and tissues. Also the lack of Vitamin D , as it becomes obvious through a series of studies, plays a more and more important role to the incidence of MS due to the role it plays in the development of the person from very young ages. Vitamins C, E play a very important role against the generation of free radicals. Oxidation always affects MS’ers much more than healthier people. Relevant examples, positive for human health, are found for every constituent of the protocol and especially for the Central Nervous or the myoskeletal System which are crucial for neurological disorders or the myoskeletal (see B 100 Tablet, B12 - methylcobalamine, Calcium - Magnesium etc).

 Additionally to the above, there is a very important field the protocol contributes to, being decisive for MS patients due to their vulnerability in the Central Nervous System: heavy metals excretion. MS patients have a sensitive CNS with all its consequences. The progress of the disease usually causes problems in bowel function (constipation, diarrhea) that is a main detoxification means. This flaw makes them more vulnerable to a series of dangers in comparison to healthier people, such as heavy metals, a subject under discussion in this article.

DANGERS IN THE MARKET

The procedure of heavy metals excretion is generally called chelation.

There is a variety of products or kits in the market and several suggestions on this procedure but we‘ve better not to trust them if we are not perfectly sure. It is suggested that in any case you should consult a  knowledgeable physician about this subject; this is why we will not try to describe or suggest such products. The reason for our being so cautious is that this procedure may become dangerous, especially to constipated patients.

In order for the heavy metals to leave the body they first have to detach from the healthy tissues and organs they are stuck on, followingly they bind with substances helping their passing to the intestine and finally they are expelled. The excretion of heavy metals through the intestine is the main kind of detoxification from heavy metals. An important organ of detoxification is the skin through sweating. It becomes obvious that accumulation of toxins in the intestine after a successful chelation may cause more serious problems in case they are not fully excreted from the body.

Another reason is that the methods are numerous and there is not one single way for all patients. Many strong substances are used for this purpose and it is only under the supervision of a specialist that one should use them and NEVER TRY IT ALONE.

Finally, there is always the danger to overload the body if many different substances are taken besides the protocol without medical suggestion and supervision.

For the above cited reasons we will discuss only the substances suggested in the protocol and some other natural – vegetable very mild choices one can incorporate in everyday life and have very good results without danger.

  FREE RADICALS AND HEAVY METALS

When free radicals come in touch with one of these tinny pieces of toxic metals, not only one new free radical is generated but a chain of millions of free radicals.

Free radicals exist in all persons, heavy metals as well. They move around several points and organs and somewhere on their way they meet again a new tinny piece of toxic metal generating new free radicals in a minute and so on.

Thus we should try to:

1. Find ways to reduce as much as possible the generation of new millions of free radicals generated in our body by the binding of metals and free radicals through chain reactions (Vitamin C, E and other antioxidants mentioned below help to that)
2. Prevent these free radicals from coming in touch with the heavy metals in our bodies in the first place.

CHELATION THROUGH THE PROTOCOL

One important contribution of the protocol is that it helps fight heavy metals, whose toxicity alone is known that it can cause symptoms similar to the ones of MS. On the other hand you know from this site that heavy metals is one of the main factors of MS.

Tips that help:

Try to consume proteins all the time, mainly animal (excpet pork which is very fatty) but vegetarian as well (eg sea algaue) according to the protocol. Protein amino-acids contain sulphur that highly facilitates the detoxification procedure. Avoid any proteinic supplement of unreliable origin.

Try to maintain 2 to 3 bowel movements per day. If there is a constipation problem read here. Remember that 90% of the mercury (a heavy metal known to be one of the most toxic ones) is expelled in our stools.

Don’t miss your daily injection of Thiamine (Β1)(1): Thiamine, being a main injectable vitamin in the protocol, has been found to play an important role in the confrontation of heavy metals (arsenic, lead, mercury etc). Especially mercury and lead compete with Thiamine absorbing the Sulphur contained in it. Sulphur is known to act as a magnet for heavy metals.

Riboflavine (vitamin Β2 contained in Β100): Also contains sulphur.

Vitamin Β6 (Pyridoxine – contained in Β100): Necessary to the metabolic procedure that transforms methionine into cysteine and followingly to glutathione (amino-acid transformed into strong anioxidative means).

Magnesium: Metals such as Magnesium are necessary to the optimal functioning of our immune system, as much as to hundreds of enzymic systems of prime importance for human health. In this way foods are more easily absorbed without irritating the digestive track that plays a crucial role to heavy metals excretion.

Take your axntioxidants every day: All antioxidants in the protocol (Vitamin C(2), E, Beta Carotene-Vitamin Α, Selenium(3)) including Thiamine, play an irreplaceable role to the fight against new free radicals being multiplied in the presence of heavy metals.

Drink alkaline water.

Exercise according to your condition, but do it systematically and under supervision. Sweating is a good way to excrete toxins and the skin is one of the main detoxification organs.

For additional help you should know that:

There are lots of other substances and ways to fight heavy metal accumulation or at least they claim to do so. As cited above, the protocol itself caters for that purpose. Nevertheless, if you think that you need more help, here are some more very mild ways:

You can take Chlorella. Chlorella is a species of algae that helps remove toxic metals from the connective tissue of our body. It contains high levels of chlorophyll which is one of the most pure and strong foods on earth. One cannot take excessive amount of Chlorella. Check your dose by trials, starting from a low dose and increasing gradually every 2-3 days.

Include garlic in your regiment if you are not allergic or intolerant to it, not in supplement form but in fresh natural form. In this way you enhance the Sulphur reserves of your body. 2-3 cloves per day for as long as your program lasts sound like a good idea. Crush the cloves so as to set their active ingredients free.

Start taking MSM (4). MSM is a kind of Sulphur acting on the membranes of the cells and thus helping your body to get rid of mercury.

Start using coriander (5). Coriander will contribute to the movement of mercury from the tissues, so as Chlorella will be able to bind with it and guide it out of the body through bowel movements. Coriander is found in most health food stores, super markets or shops selling spices. You can also add it to vegetable juices (being an excellent source of metals such as Calcium and Magnesium). Coriander alone is not enough to totally remove heavy metals from the body.

During your heavy metal detoxification, make sure that you take your daily vitamins and basic metals such as Calcium and Magnesium.

Flu Vaccine Exposed: Think Twice!

 

 

 

Do Flu Shots Work? Ask A Vaccine Manufacturer.

 

Why Didn’t Flu Shots Work?

 

The facts of these two great articles are from Dr Mercola’s website. They provide evidence concerning the new so called "vaccine against the swine flue".

The ingredients, the dangers and many opinions from scientists…

Also read What to do If You Are Forced to Take Swine Flu Shot

"The United States is set to receive as many as 600 million doses of swine flu vaccine, enough for 300 million Americans. Health care workers are one of four “top priority” groups that stand to receive the swine flu vaccine first (the other three are pregnant women, children with chronic health conditions, and adults with chronic health conditions), under the premise that they will be more likely to be exposed to the virus and need to stay healthy to provide care.

Well, the fact that less than half of nearly 400 hospital workers questioned planned to accept the swine flu shot is very telling, though not surprising considering the majority of health care workers also refuse the seasonal flu shot. The most common reason given for refusal, and rightfully so, was potential side effects, followed by questions about the vaccine’s efficacy.

Even among a focus group of 85 people, very few said they would get vaccinated in the event of a pandemic. Again, many noted the risks involved in using newly developed vaccines that are rushed to market as a primary concern. Many also believed, correctly I might add, that they could protect themselves through their own behavior, including:

• Frequent handwashing

• Staying away from crowded places and sick people

• Eating well to maintain their immune system
  

  These sentiments are right on, as it is the health of your immune system, which is primarily controlled by your lifestyle habits, that will keep you healthy during a flu outbreak. A vaccine is not the answer, and in fact can cause many other health problems.

Fortunately, this site, and many others seeking to shed light on this deceptive manipulation about the swine flu, are making a huge impact and people are refusing to believe the government propaganda.

Vaccine safety advocates everywhere are beginning to make a serious dent. According to a recent Fox News poll, the majority of people in the U.S. now believe the swine flu vaccine may be deadlier than the actual virus.

 

Why the Swine Flu Vaccine is a Disaster Waiting to Happen

Count yourself lucky that you still have a choice about whether or not to receive a swine flu vaccine … as I would no sooner choose to get this shot than I would run through a field full of landmines.

For starters, the swine flu vaccine contains dangerous additives such as mercury and squalene, which has been linked to the development of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

Further, senior neurologists sent a confidential letter to the UK government warning that the swine flu vaccine has been linked to a deadly nerve disease known as Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). GBS attacks the lining of your nerves, causing paralysis and inability to breathe, and can be fatal.

German lung specialist Wolfgang Wodarg has also come out about even more potential health risks associated with the swine flu vaccine. According to Dr. Wodarg, the swine flu vaccine contains animal cancer cells, and there’s no data indicating whether or not this may cause an allergic reaction when injected.

It also raises questions about the risk of contracting cancer.

Likewise, Johannes Löwer, president of the Paul Ehrlich Institute, believes the side effects of the vaccine can be far worse than the actual swine flu virus, which typically causes only mild symptoms, requiring just a few days in bed.

 

Swine Flu is Typically NOT Serious

Media reports sensationalizing the “death toll” that could come from the swine flu are just that: sensationalized.

As you may already know, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) consistently claim the seasonal flu kills about 36,000 Americans each year. After investigating that figure, it has been found to be a gross exaggeration based on flawed data compilation, but still, the swine flu has claimed FAR fewer lives than the seasonal flu in any given year, and no draconian measures have ever been taken to curtail the seasonal flu.

Dr. Wodarg told the German press that the widespread fear of the pandemic was an “orchestration,” stating:

 “It is great business for the pharmaceutical industry. Swine flu is not very different from normal flu. On the contrary, if you look at the number of cases it is nothing compared to a normal flu outbreak.”

Before you accept a vaccination, or allow your child to receive one, it’s always wise to examine the benefits versus the risks. In the case of swine flu, most often the symptoms are mild and resolve on their own. But no one yet knows what side effects could come from taking the swine flu vaccine.

Fortunately, for now the vaccine is still voluntary but there has been talk that it may become mandatory. For a great review of why mandatory vaccinations are unconstitutional and illegal, I recommend the book “Horrors of Vaccination Exposed and Illustrated; Petition to the President to Abolish Compulsory Vaccination in the Army and Navy,” by Charles M. Higgins. 

Written in 1920, the book is now in the public domain and can be read and downloaded for free by clicking this link. It discusses the dangers of vaccinations, the cover-ups of vaccine deaths, and explains your constitutional rights and the medical trends that are stripping those rights away, and is every bit as relevant today as it was when it was first written.

If you prefer a hardcopy version, you can also purchase the book, as it has recently been republished. 

Squalene: The Swine Flu Vaccine’s Dirty Little Secret Exposed

According to Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, your children should be the first target for mass swine flu vaccinations when school starts this fall.[i]

This is a ridiculous assumption for many reasons, not to mention extremely high risk.

In Australia, where the winter season has begun, Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon is reassuring parents the swine flu is no more dangerous than regular seasonal flu. "Most people, including children, will experience very mild symptoms and recover without any medical intervention," she said.[ii]

Sydney-based immunization specialist Robert Booy predicts swine flu might be fatal to about twice as many children in the coming year as regular influenza. Booy estimates 10-12 children could die from the H1N1 virus, compared with the five or six regular flu deaths seen among children in an average year in Australia.[iii]

 

“Cure the Disease, Kill the Patient”

Less than 100 children in the U.S. die each year from seasonal flu viruses.[iv] If we use Australia’s math, a very rough estimate would be another 100 children could potentially die of swine flu in the United States in the coming year.

If children are the first target group in the U.S. per Sebelius, that means we’re about to inject around 75 million children with a fast tracked vaccine containing novel adjuvants, including dangerous squalene, to prevent perhaps 100 deaths.

I’m not overlooking the tragedy of the loss of even one child to an illness like the H1N1 flu virus. But there can be no argument that unnecessary mass injection of millions of children with a vaccine containing an adjuvant known to cause a host of debilitating autoimmune diseases is a reckless, dangerous plan.

 

Why are Vaccinations Dangerous?

The presumed intent of a vaccination is to help you build immunity to potentially harmful organisms that cause illness and disease. However, your body’s immune system is already designed to do this in response to organisms which invade your body naturally.

Most disease-causing organisms enter your body through the mucous membranes of your nose, mouth, pulmonary system or your digestive tract – not through an injection.

These mucous membranes have their own immune system, called the IgA immune system. It is a different system from the one activated when a vaccine is injected into your body.

Your IgA immune system is your body’s first line of defense. Its job is to fight off invading organisms at their entry points, reducing or even eliminating the need for activation of your body’s immune system.

When a virus is injected into your body in a vaccine, and especially when combined with an immune adjuvant like squalene, your IgA immune system is bypassed and your body’s immune system kicks into high gear in response to the vaccination.

Injecting organisms into your body to provoke immunity is contrary to nature, and vaccination carries enormous potential to do serious damage to your health.

 

And as if Vaccines Weren’t Dangerous Enough on Their Own …

… imagine them turbocharged.

The main ingredient in a vaccine is either killed viruses or live ones that have been attenuated (weakened and made less harmful).

Flu vaccines can also contain a number of chemical toxins, including ethylene glycol (antifreeze), formaldehyde, phenol (carbolic acid) and even antibiotics like Neomycin and streptomycin.

In addition to the viruses and other additives, many vaccines also contain immune adjuvants like aluminum and squalene.

The purpose of an immune adjuvant added to a vaccine is to enhance (turbo charge) your immune response to the vaccination. Adjuvants cause your immune system to overreact to the introduction of the organism you’re being vaccinated against.

Adjuvants are supposed to get the job done faster (but certainly not more safely), which reduces the amount of vaccine required per dose, and the number of doses given per individual.

Less vaccine required per person means more individual doses available for mass vaccination campaigns. Coincidentally, this is exactly the goal of government and the pharmaceutical companies who stand to make millions from their vaccines.

 

Will There Be Immune Adjuvants in Swine Flu Vaccines?

The U.S. government has contracts with several drug companies to develop and produce swine flu vaccines. At least two of those companies, Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline, are using an adjuvant in their H1N1 vaccines.

The adjuvant? Squalene.

According to Meryl Nass, M.D., an authority on the anthrax vaccine,

“A novel feature of the two H1N1 vaccines being developed by companies Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline is the addition of squalene-containing adjuvants to boost immunogenicity and dramatically reduce the amount of viral antigen needed. This translates to much faster production of desired vaccine quantities.”[v]

Novartis’s proprietary squalene adjuvant for their H1N1 vaccine is MF59. Glaxo’s is ASO3. MF59 has yet to be approved by the FDA for use in any U.S. vaccine, despite its history of use in other countries.

Per Dr. Nass, there are only three vaccines in existence using an approved squalene adjuvant. None of the three are approved for use in the U.S.

 

What Squalene Does to Rats

Oil-based vaccination adjuvants like squalene have been proved to generate concentrated, unremitting immune responses over long periods of time.[vi]

A 2000 study published in the American Journal of Pathology demonstrated a single injection of the adjuvant squalene into rats triggered “chronic, immune-mediated joint-specific inflammation,” also known as rheumatoid arthritis.[vii]

The researchers concluded the study raised questions about the role of adjuvants in chronic inflammatory diseases.

 

What Squalene Does to Humans

Your immune system recognizes squalene as an oil molecule native to your body. It is found throughout your nervous system and brain. In fact, you can consume squalene in olive oil and not only will your immune system recognize it, you will also reap the benefits of its antioxidant properties.

The difference between “good” and “bad” squalene is the route by which it enters your body. Injection is an abnormal route of entry which incites your immune system to attack all the squalene in your body, not just the vaccine adjuvant.

Your immune system will attempt to destroy the molecule wherever it finds it, including in places where it occurs naturally, and where it is vital to the health of your nervous system.[viii]

Gulf War veterans with Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) received anthrax vaccines which contained squalene.[ix] MF59 (the Novartis squalene adjuvant) was an unapproved ingredient in experimental anthrax vaccines and has since been linked to the devastating autoimmune diseases suffered by countless Gulf War vets.[x]

The Department of Defense made every attempt to deny that squalene was indeed an added contaminant in the anthrax vaccine administered to Persian Gulf war military personnel – deployed and non-deployed – as well as participants in the more recent Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP).

However, the FDA discovered the presence of squalene in certain lots of AVIP product. A test was developed to detect anti-squalene antibodies in GWS patients, and a clear link was established between the contaminated product and all the GWS sufferers who had been injected with the vaccine containing squalene.

A study conducted at Tulane Medical School and published in the February 2000 issue of Experimental Molecular Pathology included these stunning statistics:

“ … the substantial majority (95%) of overtly ill deployed GWS patients had antibodies to squalene. All (100%) GWS patients immunized for service in Desert Shield/Desert Storm who did not deploy, but had the same signs and symptoms as those who did deploy, had antibodies to squalene.

In contrast, none (0%) of the deployed Persian Gulf veterans not showing signs and symptoms of GWS have antibodies to squalene. Neither patients with idiopathic autoimmune disease nor healthy controls had detectable serum antibodies to squalene. The majority of symptomatic GWS patients had serum antibodies to squalene.”[xi]

According to Dr. Viera Scheibner, Ph.D., a retired principle research scientist for the government of Australia:

“… this adjuvant [squalene] contributed to the cascade of reactions called "Gulf War Syndrome," documented in the soldiers involved in the Gulf War.

The symptoms they developed included arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Raynaud’s phenomenon, Sjorgren’s syndrome, chronic diarrhoea, night sweats and low-grade fevers.”[xii]

 

Post Vaccination Follow-Up Might as Well Be Non-Existent

There is virtually no science to support the safety of vaccine injections on your long-term health or the health of your children. Follow-up studies last on average about two weeks, and look only for glaring injuries and illnesses.

Autoimmune disorders like those seen in Gulf War Syndrome frequently take years to diagnose due to the vagueness of early symptoms. Complaints like headaches, fatigue and chronic aches and pains are symptoms of many different illnesses and diseases.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for vaccine purveyors and proponents to look seriously at the long-term health consequences of their vaccination campaigns.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients who smoke have a speedier progression of the disease, a new study in the Archives of Neurology suggests.

Dr. Alberto Ascherio of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston and his colleagues also found that smokers with MS were more likely to have the progressive form of the disease, in which symptoms steadily get worse, rather than the relapsing-remitting form, in which a person has MS symptoms intermittently.

"Most of the adverse effects were seen for current smokers, which in some way is good news because it suggests that stopping smoking can help," Ascherio told Reuters Health.

People who smoke are known to be at increased MS risk, but research on whether smoking affects the course of the illness has had conflicting results, he and his colleagues note. They followed 1,465 MS patients, 17.5% of whom were current smokers, for an average of just over three years to investigate.

Of the 891 patients the team followed for that period to determine the rate of progression from one form of disease to the other, 72 saw their MS progress to the worse relapsing-remitting form: 20 of 154 smokers, 20 of 237 ex-smokers, and 32 of 500 never-smokers.

That meant that the smokers were 2.4 times as likely as non-smokers to have primary progressive MS, and those who had relapsing-remitting disease were 2.5 times more likely than never-smokers to develop secondary progressive MS during the follow-up period.

At the study’s outset, the smokers had more disability, more severe disease, and more atrophy in their brains. Over time, they also showed a faster increase in the total amount of injured brain tissue and their degree of brain atrophy.

The mechanism through which cigarette smoking could worsen MS isn’t clear, Ascherio said. Smoking has been linked to some other autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, he noted, but not others, so the habit’s effects on the immune system could be a factor; another possibility would be that cigarette smoke is toxic to the nervous system.

There are currently no proven risk factors for progression of MS that a patient can do anything about, Ascherio noted.

"Although causality remains to be proved," he and his colleagues write, "these findings suggest that patients with MS who quit smoking may not only reduce their risk of smoking-related diseases but also delay the progression of MS."
