The Institute of Medicine released a report last month evaluating vaccinations over time, and whether adverse effects are causally linked to a specific vaccine, and if so, if they these effects are appropriately termed "adverse effects." Under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, Congress established the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) to provide compensation to people injured by vaccines. Information provided to the VICP when an injury claim is filed has been used to determine if a causal link is apparent. Again, these claims are not all encompassing of adverse effects associated with vaccines, but only from those seeking damages following administration of any particular vaccination. Anaphylaxis for example, is a known and accepted risk within the medical community, and would likely not be reported to the VICP, as it would not be perceived as a negligence.
The varicella zoster vaccine, the influenza vaccine, the hepatitis B vaccine, the HPV vaccine, the hepatitis A vaccine, the meningococcal vaccines, tetanus and the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. The committee concluded that the evidence convincingly supports a casual relationship between some vaccines and some adverse events.
As a live vaccine, the varicella zoster vaccine is linked to four specific adverse events, all due to infection from the vaccine virus strain: disseminated varicella infection; disseminated varicella infection with subsequent infection resulting in pneumonia, meningitis, or hepatitis in individuals with demonstrated immunodeficiences; vaccine strain viral reactivation; and vaccine strain viral reactivation with subsequent infection resulting in meningitis or encephalitis.
The MMR vaccine is linked to a disease called measles inclusion body encephalitis, which in very rare cases can affect people whose immune systems are compromised and usually occurs within a year of acute measles infection or vaccination. The MMR vaccine is also linked to febrile seizures, although typically benign and hold no long-term consequences.
Six types of vaccines - MMR, varicella zoster, influenza, hepatitis B, meningococcal, and tetanus-containing vaccines - are linked to anaphylaxis.
The committee also found convincing evidence of causal relationship between injection of vaccine, independent of the antigen involved, and both syncope and deltoid bursitis.
The committee rejects a causal relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism or type 1 diabetes, as well as DTaP and type 1 diabetes. The inactivated influenza vaccine and Bell's palsy, exacerbation of asthma or reactive airway disease are also not causally related per the committee's investigation.
For the vast majority, the evidence was inadequate to accept or reject a causal relationship. As most are well aware, individuals with certain characteristics are more likely to suffer certain adverse effects from particular immunizations. "Individuals who have serious immunodeficiences are clearly at increased risk for specific adverse reactions to live viral vaccines, such as MMR and varicella vaccines" (Institute of Medicine, 2011, p 4).
The authors conclude, "Vaccines offer the promise of protection against a variety of infectious diseases. Despite much media attention and strong opinions from many quarters, vaccines remain one of the greatest tools in the public health arsenal. Certainly, some vaccines result in adverse effects that must be acknowledged. But the latest evidence shows that few adverse effects are caused by the vaccines reviewed in this report" (Institute of Medicine, 2011, p 4).

Vaccines. Autism. Controversy.
Our practice accepts Medicaid. I was a mother on Medicaid and so even though it makes us wonder sometimes how we will cover a particular expense, we continue taking Medicaid clients in effort to give back. This means that we must also offer vaccines for free to those uninsured or under-insured. In preparing for this undertaking, I've been reading a bit more about immunizations and the autism controversy.
The past few years I've been rather conflicted regarding immunizations and to be frank, my clients typically have their minds made up by the time they receive care from me and because well-baby immunizations don't occur during the short six weeks I care for these precious newborns, it is often a topic we give little attention towards. Personally, I would like to know more.
I have attended workshops with VIC, read a few texts, followed a few blogs, witnessed video-taped testimonies and have now read an article by Ari Brown MD, arguing the other side of the coin. She gives a strong argument.
Her article discusses why autism is on the rise, which those of us watching the debate are fairly well versed (displacing one diagnosis for another, changing criteria creating a broader diagnosis, better awareness leading to better and earlier diagnosis, prevalence verses incidence, social acceptance, and over-diagnosis). The author also addresses the million dollar question: What causes autism? Like many of our other mysterious disease processes, this answer may never come in our lifetime; however, experts continue to believe it is a combination of genetics and environmental triggers.
A few interesting points I took away from her article are: It is believed that the genetic link to autism lies on the X chromosome, which may explain the prevalence of autism in boys. In fact, there is a genetic syndrome (Fragile X) that is one known cause of autism. The gene, discovered in 2008, is involved with controlling brain cell communication. One study has shown that dads over the age of 40 has SIX times greater risk of having a child with an autistic disorder than dads who are younger than 30.
Environmental exposures gaining attention are: flu exposure during pregnancy, and folic acid levels in Dad-to-be's sperm (possibly a too-high level can lead to problems). A recent study in the journal Pediatrics found that premature babies born at 25 to 26 weeks gestation have a 25% chance of developing an autism spectrum disorder.
However, the real meat offered by Dr. Brown came in her discussion of mercury. "In 2001, the FDA required manufacturers to discontinue using mercury preservative for ALL routine childhood vaccines. Period." Since most autistic children are diagnosed prior to the age of three and autism remains on the rise, this link seems questionable. I wondered though, if trace amounts of mercury are still evident in vaccines then the doctor called for a reality check: "A tuna sandwich has FIVE TIMES more mercury than one dose of flu vaccine." Breastmilk contains between 1.4 and 1.7 micrograms of methyl mercury per liter, meaning a baby gets 25 times more mercury by breastfeeding for six months than in a single dose of flu vaccine.
Another interesting point I hadn't any knowledge of before, there are TWO types of mercury: methyl mercury and ethyl mercury. The type of mercury that has raised health concerns is methyl mercury. Methyl mercury is a small molecule that can get into the brain and takes almost TWO MONTHS to break down. High concentrations of methyl mercury can be found in tuna, swordfish, and shark from contaminated waters. Contrast that with ETHYL mercury, which was the type used in vaccine preservatives. Ethyl mercury (thimerosal is an example) is rapidly eliminated from the body within a WEEK. Compared to methyl mercury, ethyl mercury is a much larger molecule that cannot enter the brain.
Ideally, it would be nice to remove all mercury from vaccines to eliminate this controversial issue altogether, but at this point in time, in effort to create a multi-dose flu vaccine, mercury is still present as a preservative. "Flu vaccine is reformulated each year for the upcoming season, manufacturers need to move as efficiently as possible to produce large quantities of vaccine. The best way to do this is to produce vaccine in multi-dose vials, which requires a preservative. There are, however, single-dose preparations that are FREE of mercury preservatives that can be given to young children and pregnant women, if available."
Alternative vaccinations schedules are fairly common in my practice, and we have chosen this method of delivery with our youngest boys. The author unfortunately tries to use the tactic that the CDC says so, don't question their authority, which only motivates critical minds to seek out information on why this would be unwise. Rationales are REQUIRED for some of us, and bulling will only motivate us to run the other way!!
One point I didn't realize and I am sure my pediatricians were unaware, live vaccines must be given four weeks apart so that the host can mount an active immune response.
An argument Dr. Brown does make however, that spoke to my common sense was that "even though the number of shots has gone up, the actual load on the immune system has gone down. That's because today's vaccines are 'smarter' and better engineered than the shots from a few decades ago." Case in point: whopping cough. "Before 1991, the whooping cough vaccine had 3000 different germ particles (antigens). Today's whooping cough shot has just three to five particles - just as effective, but much better designed to be easy on your immune system. Before 1996, the polio vaccine was "live"- this carried a small risk of actually getting polio. Today's polio vaccine is dead (inactivated)...and carries NO chance of transmitting the disease."
Are there other toxins in vaccines that could cause autism? Yes. Preservatives such as bacterias and fungi; Adjuvants such as aluminum salt, to improve potency; Additives such as gelatin, albumin, sucrose, lactose, MSG, and glycine to prevent deterioration and sticking to the side of the bottle; and Residuals such as egg protein, yeast protein, formaldehyde, and antibiotics are all present. Freaking out? The author argues that "additives like aluminum in vaccines are in EXTREMELY SMALL amounts" and we are all "exposed to significantly higher levels of environmental toxins in our everyday activities."
Aluminum is found in antiperspirant. Aluminum is found in most food, soil and water. And aluminum poisoning does not cause symptoms of autism. Aluminum is present to improve the body's response to some vaccines.
How about formaldehyde, one of the greatest causes of early miscarriage? Small amounts sterilize the vaccine fluid "so your child doesn't get something like the flesh-eating Strep bacteria when he gets his shots," argues Dr. Brown. "If you use paper towels or mascara, or have carpeting in your home, you've been exposed to formaldehyde," she hits home.

H1N1
I find critical thinking highly valuable within my profession, but I find that sometimes critical thinking can quickly become paranoia and is therefore, more troublesome than beneficial. It is a fine balance, because as most of you know, the vast majority of professionals within the field lack critical thinking what-so-ever and that alone has caused our maternal/child health crisis.
I already shared an interesting talk regarding the H1N1 virus. http://vimeo.com/7298827
Here are a few other resources I've come across as I am weeding through old e-mails. You will find that most all of them oppose the H1N1 vaccine. I typically like to give more balanced information so through understanding both sides of the argument, you can make a more informed decision, but to be frank, I don't find much rationale from the supporters of the vaccine. They simply demand its necessity and trust we will respond (for the most part, they assume correctly).
I will share too that while in Canada, our country aggressively encouraged each pregnant woman to obtain the H1N1 vaccine, yet Canada opposed the vaccine for pregnant women stating it wasn't researched and therefore, not proven safe.
This resource shares a discussion between Dr. Andrew Moulden of Alberta and Gloria Lemay, midwife.
This post has videos of a woman harmed by the vaccine and a physician talking about the dangers. "I have more concerns about the vaccine than I do about the swine flu," states Dr. Kent Holtolf, expert in infectious diseases.
This post is from a nutritionist from Toronto who outlines a diet plan to prevent flu. In addition to sleep and a diet with adequate natural fat and protein during pregnancy, there is good evidence that three specific nutrients protect against flu infection when supplemented. The CDC has also found a high percentage of women and children mildly to severely deficient in at least one of these three. The vital nutrients are: selenium, iodine, and vitamin D. Drinking fluorinated tap water and consuming processed foods, teas and reconstituted fruit juices increases the requirement of all three nutrients. Essentially all of the nation's water is fluorinated and our agricultural soils are deficient of iodine and selenium so local foods are low in these nutrients.
Gloria Lemay, midwife, offers her regimen for basic precautions for staying well, especially if pregnant during the winter months. Healthy sleep is important. Change your bedding and towels once a week. Eat foods high in vitamin C. Eliminate white sugar and flour from your diet. Eliminate caffiene. Buy a wool scarf and mittens to bundle up in warmly. If you feel the first tickle of a cold or sore throat, cance everything and go straight to bed with a hot herbal tea and bag of grapefruit. Keep your partner healthy.
I have several other e-mails full of resources that I will continue to add to this post. Stay tuned!

Vaccinations and Public Safety...
I am currently learning about public verses private rights and where liability lies. I was rather surprised to see vaccinations as the example provided. Here is what I've learned.
"Suppose the government forces all children to be vaccinated. This is for the good of everyone and the only way to stop disease. However, in rare cases the vaccinated child will suffer a serious reaction that may cause brain damage or even death even though no one is at fault. If a child is injured in such a case, should she be permitted to recover from the government on the ground that the government exacted a benefit for society as a whole by forcing the child to accept the risks of the vaccination?"
In Lapierre v Attorney-General of Quebec (Can. 1995) the court rejected the claim that the government should be liable for injuries from compulsory vaccination. The issue seems to be whether the government intentionally imposes harm, and when they impose risk that is not substantially certain to injure any particular or identifiable persons.
Personally, I think this argument is naive. This ignores the issue of capitalism. Vaccine manufactures are making billions, if not trillions, of dollars from vaccines that most of which do nothing more than provide us convenience from minor, irritating illnesses. Most people my age suffered and survived the chickenpox, the mumps, the measels, even the Roto virus. We missed school, but we got the benefit of being pampered by our parents. The so-called benefit in these vaccinations is that they decrease days parents miss work because no longer are they required to stay home and care for their sick children. However, this is a very short-lived benefit. When these immunized children grow up and realize their protection only lasted twenty years and they become exposed to chicken pox as an adult, no longer is this a simple, irritating disease, but potentially a deadly one. Not only will they miss a few days of work, but potentially will be hospitalized for treatment. Did the government consider the impact to the unborn baby of a pregnant woman exposed to chickenpox that never developed her own antibodies as a child, and was unaware that her chickenpox vaccine is no longer protecting her?
Further, how can the government ignore one in forty children suffering from autism, which parallels the increase in immunizations? Why is it that vaccines often have far more ingredients than is necessary or safe? How can we trust, even mandate, human manufactured products when we have a plethora of pharmaceuticals and medical products recalled daily for safety hazards?
When we live in a country that prioritizes capitalism over private citizen's rights, I am always cautious of manipulation. Does the government truly not recognize the intelligence in each of their citizens and our own ability to weight the risks and benefits of immunizing our children? We seem to feel it is appropriate to allow women to choose not to breastfeed their babies and aggressively protect the rights of a women to choose how they will feed their infants. And as appauled as the nation would be at the government's mandate for all women to breastfeed, this wouldn't be unlike demanding all children be vaccinated for public safety. Not breastfeeding has posed far greater risk to mothers, babies and our community than the chickenpox virus has. Once again, when a company (like our formula manufacteurs) stands to gain trillions of dollars, capitalism trumps public safety. The government doesn't even support an advertisement campaign supporting breastfeeding because it might harm the artificial breastmilk sales. Let me be clear, the government prioritizes capitalism, not the safety of its citizens.
I don't deny that immunizations have been one of the greatest leaps for mankind this century, but as is true for most all aspects of human nature, we tend to take a good thing too far. Do children really need nine vaccinations at only two months of age? Really? Do they require more than fifty by the end of their first year to live a healthy, productive life? When a company stands to gain as much as the vaccine manufactures do, is the government really so naive to assume that their products and their marketing, even their lobbying, is solely for the good of mankind? I believe our children's children will be reading in their history and science text books about the dichotomy vaccinations offered our generation, and the greed that created such catastrophe.
P.S. This is my blog and I can post whatever I want to!!!
