Are Vaccines Right for Your Child? Debunking the Myths of the DTaP Vaccine
Conclusion As a journalist and a mother myself, I found Dr. Lewis’s paper to be poorly written, lacking in substance and containing very few credible references. If parents are given poor information and very few facts, how can they ever make an informed decision about vaccinations? Parents are continually being lied to by the medical profession, the mainstream media, the pharmaceutical industry and world governments, and it needs to stop. How can we trust a person paid to vaccinate our children? Let’s face it – Dr. Karen Lewis is, after all, the Medical Director of the Arizona Department of Health Services. She is h...

The Scary Truth About the New York City Flu Vaccine Mandate
Conclusion Families should not be forced to inject their child with toxic substances. They should not be forced to receive a vaccine that is ineffective and dangerous. They should not be forced to give up their preferred choice for quality, early childhood education and care programs in order to avoid forced vaccination. Families should be allowed to make the choices for their health and well-being that are best for their family. If your child attends day care or preschool in New York City, we urge you to contact your elected officials and tell them you are against forced vaccination for your child. In addition, you may ex...

Eight Month-Old Baby Dies Just Weeks After Hepatitis B Vaccination; His Innocent Father Is Still In Jail 20 Years Later
Conclusion After reading Dr. Al-Batati’s report in full and hearing Bryant’s own account of what happened on the night that Jordan died, I believe that Bryant Arroyo is an innocent man and that this case is in fact an elaborate cover-up by the medical profession, the police and US judicial system to hide the facts of what really happened to baby Jordan on the night that he died. I say this because the facts speak for themselves. Jordan was an extremely sick little boy, particularly in the months prior to his death. On many occasions, doctors neglected to diagnose that he was suffering from a life-threatening genetic il...

Vaccine-Induced Tissue Scurvy Globally Misdiagnosed as Child Abuse
Conclusion In trying to help falsely accused parents worldwide, I am currently aware of at least seven falsely accused parents whose children became ill after they received multiple vaccinations. In four of these cases, tests revealed that, far from being abused, the children had been suffering from the autoimmune disease tissue scurvy. Why are governments around the world burying their heads in the sand and refusing point-blank to investigate this atrocity? INNOCENT parents are being locked up on a daily basis, accused of the most horrendous crimes, and it seems as if no one actually cares. The evidence speaks for itself:...

Strange Adventures and Assorted Announcements
Photo:  X-ray Delta One By Crabby McSlackerSo Happy Saint Patricks Day!  Although aside from a green shirt that makes an appearance in a photo or two, I'm afraid we're not doing much on that theme today.This post is partly about seeking out "adventure!" But, if you are an anxious person, fear not. I haven't changed my opinion that there is absolutely nothing wrong with embracing your comfort zone, and staying way the hell away from "adventures" other people suggest if they seem too risky or otherwise unappealing.However, there is still a lot of excitement and novelty to be had in the world from within your comfor...

Feel the Burn
Hand burns from thermal injuries are common chief complaints in the emergency department. Sometimes, 2nd- and 3rd-degree burns may need immediate interventions and warrant special attention. These injuries are painful, and often have associated complications such as permanent scarring, cosmetic issues, prolonged pain, and even infection. ED providers can assist with the primary complications related to blistering of the hand or extremity. Careful follow-up and a detailed discharge plan produce better outcomes and minimize overall complications. Full body/surface burns or circumferential burns should always be seen and eval...

GIDEON and Global Disease
We have developed an on-line system which follows the status of all Infectious Diseases – in every country – in real time. One of the Gideon modules contains an ongoing chronology of every outbreak / survey on a global / country-specific level. As of 2014, the site contains 32,000 incidence graphs + details regarding 33,000 individual outbreaks and 36,000 prevalence surveys. Sample graphs and maps follow (red dots are links to country-specific text notes in the program). The computer server has also been engineered to publish a series of 213 e-books (115,000 pages, 410,000 references) – with all titles...

Foreign Body to the Face and Facial Laceration Repair
Part 1 in a Series Wound care and suture repair are two of the most frequently encountered issues in the emergency department. It is the midlevel provider’s job to be familiar with proper wound care and suturing techniques as well as quick and safe treatment of soft tissue skin injuries.

This month, we are focusing on lacerations and puncture wounds to the soft tissue of the face. Future posts will touch on other suturing skills, with some great tips from our plastic surge...

This Study Reveals Children are Being Vaccinated With Toxic Levels of Aluminium Causing Neurological Damage and Autism
Conclusion Aluminum, as these papers have demonstrated, is extremely toxic, especially when children are repeatedly vaccinated with vaccines containing aluminum over the recommended limits. The FDA and ASPEN recommend 25 mcg to be a safe limit and yet, as Dr. Sears has shown in his article, many of the childhood vaccinations contain aluminum far in excess of this amount. The papers that I have studied make it abundantly clear that the more vaccines that children receive containing aluminum, the greater chance they have of developing autism, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer’s disease and neurological deficits in the future....

A Vaccine for Drug Abuse? Maybe Someday
You’ve likely gotten vaccines for many different diseases, like measles, hepatitis B, and tetanus. But NIDA researchers hope that someday a vaccine will help people avoid drug abuse too. New research has already led to a heroin vaccine that works by tricking the body’s immune system into thinking heroin is a bacteria or virus. Immune cells attack the drug and block it from entering the brain. That way, heroin can’t cause its addictive effects, such as the first rush of euphoria. It has only been tested in animals so far, but such a vaccine could be vital in helping those who are trying to stop using heroin. By blocki...

Point Taken: Finger Dislocations
Finger dislocations are relatively simple to identify and treat, but ligament and volar plate ruptures are often missed. Radiographs are not always indicated, but are useful in locating the area of injury and noting avulsion fractures. It is important to listen to the patient’s story to identify the mechanism by which the injury occurred because mimicking this mechanism is typically the best way to relocate the joint. Patients typically do not always need local anesthesia or digital block because relocation techniques are quick and can often be done while simply distracting the patient for a second or two. Treatment is d...

IFPMA Millennium Development Goals
In 2000, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set out in motion a landmark political agenda from the highest levels of national governments to be achieved by 2015. Through eight overarching goals, governments and international organizations committed to improving the social and economic conditions especially in the world's poorest countries. A recent report from the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA) looked at several of these goals, which strongly relate to life science companies. Specifically, the report looked at goals related to: Reducing child mortality Improvi...
