Will Governor Brown Take the Risk as the African-American Community Says NO to SB277?
Conclusion Will Governor Jerry Brown think twice and really risk the wrath of the black community? Will he even read Mrs. Sullivan’s letter or care about the many religious groups opposing vaccinations due to their ingredients? It appears that more governments worldwide are mandating vaccinations on a daily basis and parents are completely powerless to stop them. Who are these people who make all the decisions, and what right do they have to impose their largely unproven theories that ALL vaccinations are safe and effective for ALL children? Let’s face it, it does make you wonder what their real agenda is, doesn’t it...

Narrative Matters: On Our Reading List
Editor’s Note: “Narrative Matters: On Our Reading List” is a monthly roundup where we share some of the most compelling health care narratives driving the news and conversation in recent weeks. The One In 40,000 Parents think their children are one in a million, but Liz Savage knows what it means to have your child be the statistical anomaly. One in 40,000 measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)-vaccinated patients will be affected with immune thrombocytopenia purpura. Her son, whom she refers to as “Oscar” in her story for Slate, “My Son, the Statistic,” was hospitalized with low platelet counts, as his body adver...

A Truthful Vaccine Consent Form – That No Mom Could Ever Sign
The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.(1) Those are the closing words of the first tenet of the Nuremberg Code - informed consent – and make no mistake about it - from the most personal of parental perspectives, vaccination’s a macabre experiment, every time: no parent can be certain that a vaccine won’t permanently disable her child.(2) Egregiously, the administering doctor or nurse - or CVS pharmacist - in no wa...

Michigan Baby Dies, Pathologists Confirm Vaccines Responsible
Conclusion It is very clear that vaccine-related deaths and injuries are being intentionally hidden. Parents of vaccine-injured children are doing their own investigations and coming forward more, seeking the truth denied to them by health officials. Inform your friends, family and neighbors that this is going on, that children are dying from the vaccines. Be brave. Help preserve your fundamental right to choose what gets injected into you or your child’s body. Making good medical decisions can only be done when you are informed. Our hearts go out to Danny and his family and all of the other precious children who have su...

Jodie’s Story: A Little Girl Lost After Illegally Given an Untested 8-in-1 Vaccine
Conclusion Jodie was harmed beyond repair when a doctor decided to allow her to be injected with an untested 8-in-1 vaccine. She survived the shot, but sadly, has lived her life in severe pain because of what was done to her. She will live the rest of her life suffering brain damage, bowel problems, seizures, not being able to communicate easily, not being able to eat properly nor take care of herself. Many parents whose children greatly suffer and need constant care worry about their injured child’s future and what is best for them. Although the family is thankful and blessed that Jodie survived, they have deep concerns...

The measles outbreak and vaccines: We need civil discourse
There has been an outbreak of measles, a vaccine preventable disease, along with an outbreak of people yelling at each other. There have been angry exchanges between people who would like all children vaccinated according to the recommended guidelines and people who support the rights of parents to choose which vaccines to give their children, if any, and when to give them. There has been much focus on the assertion, particularly, that the measles/mumps/rubella vaccination (MMR) might cause autism. There is no believable evidence to support that assertion, but the questions of whether vaccination is safe and whether it sho...

Vaccination Outbreak Forces Orange County To Declare State of Emergency.
Orange County - Shortly after Disneyland became ground zero for the largest vaccine preventable disease outbreak the United States has seen in decades, unvaccinated children of Orange County families overwhelmed doctors' offices and local healthcare clinics fearfully seeking immunizations against measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough and other childhood illnesses.  This surge in vaccination cases left government officials no choice but to declare a vaccination state of emergency."Due to the actions of a few thousand heartless pseudo-anti-vaxx parents who abandoned their principles at the first sign of a little ...

The difficulty was with all the lunacy out there I did not quite know where to start. I grew up in the era prior to vaccination against childhood diseases. I had measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox. I remember the fear people had of these infectious diseases and...

Anti-vaxxers and chemotherapy refusers
Arizona measles exposure worries parents of at-risk kids “It’s not my responsibility to inject my child with chemicals in order for [a child like Maggie] to be supposedly healthy,” he said. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s very likely that her leukemia is from vaccinations in the first place.” “I’m not going to sacrifice the well-being of my child. My child is pure,” he added. “It’s not my responsibility to be protecting their child.” CNN asked Wolfson if he could live with himself if his unvaccinated child got another child gravely ill. “I c...

Forget the ivory tower: We need more Disney in medicine
This isn’t a debate about vaccines. The fight here has nothing to do with that. For the record, I strongly support the concept of vaccination. Public health is better in the 21st century because of it. Measles? Mumps? Oh, I can find you in the United States, but we aren’t living our lives every day petrified of an outbreak. Smallpox? Polio? Where did you go? Not here, that’s for sure. And, what if you had lived in West Africa in mid-2014? A proven vaccine for Ebola would have been a godsend. Continue reading ...

When the man is shooting blanks - The Ins & Outs of Male infertility
Recent surveys have revealed some alarming facts- 15% of Indian couples in the 31-40 years age group need medical intervention to successfully conceive , as either one or both the partners suffer from fertility issues.

This is Why You Should Not Blindly Follow Your Doctor’s Advice to Vaccinate
Conclusion Most of us have been trained to believe that vaccines are safe and prevent disease. It is very confusing to first realize that this may not be true. Tremendous pressures exist from physicians, hospitals, family and the public school systems to vaccinate ourselves and our children. Physicians are taught to recommend vaccinations as a first-line defense against disease, while they are not taught the serious health damages created by vaccines. Physicians often blindly follow the recommendations of their professional organizations to vaccinate, without doing any independent research. Those few physicians and nurses ...

Top stories in health and medicine, December 15, 2014
From MedPage Today: ED Throughput: A Fixable Problem. As I travel the freeways of the various cities I visit, I often come across billboards announcing waiting times at the local ED, or billboards promising no wait at all. Sometimes they just advertise “faster” care, whatever that means. Mumps Checks NHL Players. It has been a bad year for mumps and not even elite athletes are immune. Watch for Axial Back Pain in Psoriatic Pts. Patients with psoriasis have a higher prevalence of lower axial back pain than the general population while inflammatory back pain (IBP), spondyloarthritis (SpA), and alternating butto...
