The Insanity of the Hepatitis B Vaccination
Conclusions
The hepatitis B vaccination program targeting newborns and infants does NOT make sense. The vaccination itself has not proven to be effective in preventing hepatitis B. There is very little risk of children becoming infected with hepatitis B.
Hepatitis B is a disease that is not highly infectious and tends to affect adults in high risk groups. The course of the disease is usually self-limiting with lifelong immunity acquired.
In contrast, many serious health consequences have resulted from the hepatitis B vaccination, including permanent disability and death.

I didn’t get to say goodbye
I slipped and fell. My hip fractured, surgery would make it better. But it didn’t. My body was too weak to fight. I couldn’t cough and deep breathe; I stayed in bed. I had nausea and vomiting. I couldn’t breathe. I became weaker and weaker, until my family noticed. The medics rushed me into the ER. My blood pressure was 62/34. For how long? The ER nurses and doctors tried to “jump start” me. They gave me lots of IV fluids because I was dehydrated. But I couldn’t urinate. My kidneys had shut down. My liver was in shock, and my skin was yellow. Jaundiced.
I ended up in the ICU. The ICU doc...

Rooming In: The Newest Birthing Controversy
Hot on the heels of media stories about the importance of screening for post-partum depression, a debate about whether to have newborns stay in hospital rooms with their moms vs. providing nursery care for the infants is emerging. It’s an interesting topic, but binary responses to the debate do little to recognize that “one size fits all” solutions may not be sound.
The benefits of rooming in instead of providing nursery care are well known. Both research-based and anecdotal reports suggest that rooming in correlates to a lower incidence of post-partum depression in new mothers and reduced breastfeeding problems for ...

Louisiana Mother Knows 8 Vaccine Doses Killed Her 2 Month-Old Son
Two month-old Reid Thomas Englehart was vaccinated on May 20, 2015. He was given eight vaccine doses, which included the DTaP, Hib, polio, pneumococcal, hepatitis B and the oral rotavirus vaccines. These are the routine vaccines given to two month-old babies, even premature babies, in the United States and elsewhere. [1]
At the time of his appointment, Reid was still wheezing from a previous infection and still had a residual cough, but his doctor insisted it was fine to vaccinate him, after a test came back that Reid was negative for pertussis.
Nine days later, without a struggle and without any obstruction of his airways...

Marissa Mayer sends a mixed message to working women with high-risk pregnancies
Marissa Mayer, the CEO of Yahoo, recently announced that at age forty she is pregnant with identical twins.
Much of the current media attention has focused on how Ms. Mayer will run a $35 billion multinational technology company and care for three young children. Such concern makes a major assumption: that she will deliver two healthy babies at full term. From my perspective as a specialist who cares for women with high-risk pregnancies, however, I’m more focused on the complications that can precede the birth of these twins.
From reading a recent Twitter feed from Ms. Mayer, you would not know there were any p...

Infant Dies Following 5 Vaccine Doses
Life after losing a loved one to vaccines is very painful. With a heavy heart, we share Sebastian Ryan Morley’s story. He was a healthy boy whose life ended after routine vaccinations. Sebastian’s mother and grandmother have worked many years in both the veterinary and human healthcare fields. What they were taught in school led them to believe vaccines were safe, but now they will never vaccinate again. We thank his family for coming forward and sharing very important information the public isn’t usually made aware of.
Sebastian’s grandmother, Valerie Murfin, shared:
“On December 11, 2002, when my grandson Sebas...

Real Mentoring Lessons From the Liver Queen
By MARTIN SAMUELS, MD
In 1970 I had the opportunity to spend time at the Royal Free Hospital in London. One of my professors at The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, the late Leon Schiff, a renowned liver expert, arranged for me to work under Professor Sheila Sherlock. I was placed in a laboratory that was investigating the presumed immune basis of primary biliary cirrhosis. Roy Fox and Frank Dudley, the faculty in the lab, warmly welcomed me and taught me the basics of immunology research. My first scientific paper in Gut, was based on this work. But, I was a budding clinician and I was drawn to the ...

When it becomes more important to state 'why' you do something
If you ask 100 occupational therapists what they do you will get 100 different answers, because the nature of the profession is to help people do the things that are important to them. Every patient has their own priorities, and that makes all the stories different.Instead of focusing on the 'what' I like to focus on the 'why.' When I need to be reminded 'why' I do what I do I like to drag this story out. I knew a young family and they were unable to conceive. After spending many thousands of dollars they made some arrangement with a young teenage mom so that they could adopt her baby (just about to be bo...

Time To Check Out
It was time to check out.The trip had been a blast. There was sun, and water, and too much food. Of course there were moments of displeasure. The rain came and went. The skin turned red and hot, and I slathered sunscreen on almost every hour. But all in all, I had few complaints. Of course I wanted to stay longer. Who wouldn't? There was so much to stay for. If I was having fun now, who is to say that it wouldn't continue? I had my family, beautiful scenery, all my electronics, and the ocean. There was that prickly situation, however, of the contract. I had only signed ...

Against the mind/brain by Fred Cummins
Guest post from Fred Cummins in response to a tweet exchange.----------------------------------------This is a letter to Greg Hickok in response to some recent tweet exchanges that immediately seemed to raise issues that are not resolvable in 140 character snippets. I'm including Andrew Wilson and Sabrina Golonka from Leeds, and Marek McGann from Limerick in the distribution, as I believe we might all have interesting perspectives on the issues at stake.Let's start with this heartfelt tweet from Greg, which I hope represents common ground among all of us:I wonder how much the pace of science would quicken if we could ...
