"RECOMMENDED SCREENING TESTS AND IMMUNIZATIONS
The following charts list recommended screenings and immunizations for women at average risk for most diseases and for women with various risk factors. These are guidelines only. Your health-care provider will personalize the timing of each test and immunization to best meet your health-care needs. The charts are based on the recommendations of the National Women's Health Information Center, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office on Women's Health as of October 2006." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)
| "The book does not want to advise or convince anyone of what decision to make with respect to immunizations. The author believes that each individual has the right to make that choice for himself or his family and that choice should be made only after having and reviewing all of the facts." - Tom Finn, Dangers of compulsory immunizations: How to avoid them legally (Get the book.)
| "Interestingly, though, because she received some of her immunizations in combined shots, the total thimerosal injected into Michelle Cedillo was only about 40 millionths of a gram more than a child would have received 30 years ago, well before the supposed "autism epidemic" began.
The findings of half a dozen epidemiological studies that have showed no link between thimerosal administration and autism diagnosis do not necessarily count for much in this courtroom." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)
| "Preventive Services Task Force report—including, for example, blood pressure screening, cancer screening, counseling about smoking, routine immunizations, and aspirin to prevent heart attacks—adds only 18 to 19 months to our lives. Medical care for illness (heart attacks, trauma, cancer treatment, pneumonia, appendicitis, etc.) increases our life span by 44 to 45 months. The overall effect of medical care, then, has been to increase longevity by only about 5 years and 3 months during the twentieth century." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)
| "Perhaps growing up on daily tuna fish sandwiches, receiving multiple immunizations, using contact lens fluid with thimerosal, and my love of sushi all became too much to handle once I inhaled a toxic load of mercury from the cold, dark winter air in Beijing.
I took a urine test to see the total mercury load in my body. I used a chelating substance, which binds up metals in the body and carries them out in the urine and stool."Normal" levels of mercury are less than 3 meg/g of creatinine. My level was almost 200 mcg/g of creatinine. Anything over 50 mcg/g of creatinine is considered "poisoning." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)
| "Further, adverse effects are amply documented and are far more significant to public health than any adverse effects of infectious diseases. immunizations, including those practiced on babies, not only did not prevent any infectious diseases, they caused more suffering and more deaths than have any other human activity in the entire history of medical intervention." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)
| "Mark seemed to be sick all the time, so he was not up to date on immunizations. At one point when he was not running a fever, we went to have them administered. A short time after this I began to see changes. He no longer wanted to be touched or held. He startled easily, did not like loud noises, would sit for long periods of time in a room by himself. If we could get him outside, then we could not get him back in. He would fixate on one toy or TV show, and you could not get him away from it.
"Around the time Mark was four years old, we enrolled him in prekindergarten." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)
| "Among the most notable current medical doctors opposed to compulsory immunizations is Robert Mendelsohn, M.D. Dr. Mendelsohn was an associate professor in the department of preventative medicine and community health at the University of Illinois and is the former chairman of the State of Illinois Medical Licensure Board. He is the author of "Confessions of a Medical Heretic" and "Male Practice". He is a nationally syndicated columnist and has practiced pediatrics for 25 years. Dr. Mendelsohn has stated that the risks of taking some of the shots may outweigh their benefits." - Tom Finn, Dangers of compulsory immunizations: How to avoid them legally (Get the book.)
| "Among the causes of anaphylactic shock are immunizations for diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, and whooping cough. A young person's immune system hasn't typically matured enough to be effective against this type of onslaught
No less dangerous is the Guillain-Barre syndrome which leads to paralysis and is caused by immunizations for measles, diphtheria, influenza, tetanus, and the oral polio vaccine. This is hardly surprising when one considers the high toxicity of the vaccines." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)
| "If one is able to find a medical doctor who believes the immunizations would be harmful to the health of the child, the parents should have all dealings with the hospital or school done through the doctor. The parents should have the doctor inform the hospital of their wishes with respect to compulsory immunization. Instructions to the hospital should be put in writing and signed by the physician. A copy of this writing should be sent to the hospital prior to the admission of the mother. A duplicate copy should be given to the doctor for his records and the original kept by the parents." - Tom Finn, Dangers of compulsory immunizations: How to avoid them legally (Get the book.)
| "As a category, mental health issues are searched for more often than immunizations, dental health, Medicare or Medicaid, sexual health information, or problems with drugs and alcohol.29 In July 2006, of the ten most popular online searches for pharmaceutical and medical products, six concerned psychiatric drugs or psychiatric disease. (They were, in order, Lexapro, Cymbalta, Zoloft, Wellbutrin [an antianxiety agent], Effexor, and the illness of depression itself.)30 Among people who have visited a medication site, depression is by far the most researched medical condition, with 2." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)
| "Note: In 1998 mandatory immunizations programs and the MMR vaccine were introduced.)
?From 1998-2002 there was an additional 96% increase in Autism (DSM IV) in the State of California.
?There are 20,277 cases of autism in California as of December 2003.
?Autism cases represent over 12% of the Regional Center caseload. Annual budget for ASD care is over $171,000,000.
?In state operated institutions of care there are 3,436 people with autism.

| "This doubled the number of immunizations from eleven to twenty-two in a child's first eighteen months, and crammed them much closer together, which increased the vaccinations' toxic burden.
Most of these vaccinations contained a form of mercury called thimerosal, which is a preservative. It's long been known that mercury is the second most toxic substance on earth, after uranium, and is especially damaging to the human nervous system, because it tends to selectively lodge in brain tissue.
These extra vaccinations gave kids too much mercury." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)
"Paul, in fact, still had his cold on the day he was due for his next-to-last round of immunizations, at fourteen months. He needed a measles-mumps-rubella shot, and a booster to protect him against a form of meningitis.
Just before the appointment, Lynne called Paul's doctor and asked if it was safe to give vaccines to kids when they were sick. The doctor told her not to worry-it happened all the time. If parents waited for perfect health in their toddlers, he said, the kids would neverget all their shots. These days, he said, there were more shots than ever, and they were all important."

"One evening, a couple of weeks after the immunizations, while waiting for Paul's latest bout with a cold-bug to end, Lynne took him to the window and started to play a familiar game, in which she would point at something and say, "I see a /^"-prompting Paul to repeat "tree."
"I see grass" she said. But Paul didn't seem interested.
"I see the sky" No response.
"I see car-car. Car-car!" Nothing.
"Pauly?"
Paul was changing. Lynne didn't want to believe it, but it was undeniable. The changes, frighteningly, did not seem to be just predictable responses to pervasive symptoms of colds and flu."
- Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)
"Lynne made a video approximately eight weeks after Paul's immunizations, and it portrayed a child who was vastly different from the child in Paul's first-birthday video. In the new video, Lynne coaxed Paul to interact, but he just sat mutely on the floor, drooling and wooden, his eyes vacant. At one point in the video, Wesley entered the room and said, "Hi, Paul." But his voice sounded very different in this video. He spoke to Paul in a sad monotone, as if he expected no reply, the way one might speak to a person in a coma. After that, there weren't many more videos."

| "Adults wouldn't accept five immunizations at once. Why would we treat our children by a lesser standard?
One of the solutions, Dr. Kenneth Bock said, is a "slower way of vaccinating—so you separate the vaccinations; get one a month, for example, rather than several of them together." Dr. Manny Alvarez agrees, saying that he advises his patients to "pace the vaccines. Don't get them pooled—avoid the three-in-one." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)
| "So as the years passed, illnesses and immunizations helped your body's immune system begin to develop memories of what was body-friendly and what was body-menacing.
The players in this process are the immune system's white blood cells—M-cells, T-cells, and B-cells.
M-cells are scavengers that rummage through the garbage that normal and abnormal cells leave behind as they search for clues to problems. Like public watchdogs, M-cells present alarming pieces of evidence to T-cells." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)
| "Health authorities should develop safer vaccination strategies and support further investigation of the hypothesized link between the MMR vaccine and autism

The International Journal of Toxicology. 2004 Nov.-Dec.;23(6):369-76." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)
| "Additionally, the raging medical controversy surrounding the effectiveness and serious side effects of the immunizations together with the fact that some States' legislatures have passed broad exemptions to the compulsory immunization laws, would make that burden near impossible to be met.
The majority of people today are immunized who desire to be. These people are, therefore, fully protected against the disease." - Tom Finn, Dangers of compulsory immunizations: How to avoid them legally (Get the book.)
| "In fact there are 40 recommended childhood immunizations in all as of January 2002. If parents resist, they come into conflict with the law. Vaccinations, so it seems, are the great unquestionable victory of modern medicine. And it is true: millions of lives have been saved because of vaccinations. Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch, Emil von Behring and many other researchers are heroes.
The only thing wrong with vaccinations is that there are new scientific findings, which indicate that vaccinations can be a great danger as well." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)
| "This doesn't mean that all children who get vaccinated have problems, but for some reason autistic children are unable to handle the live measles virus used in immunizations, and it triggers an inflammatory response in the gut as well as the brain.These children can't handle the vaccine (maybe because mercury suppresses their immune system) and then the normally benign live measles virus in the vaccine takes root in the body and sends these kids into an even deeper spiral of brain dysfunction." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)
"She had all the regular childhood immunizations, including diphtheria, pertussis,
tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella, hemophilus, varicella, and hepatitis B. She was a very colicky baby, had frequent diaper and vaginal yeast infections as a child, with vaginal and rectal itching (which gives you a pretty strong idea that yeast is hanging around), and had very sensitive skin.
And she loved sugar and refined pastries and carbs.
While I see children all across the spectrum of mood and behavior problems, hers were particularly extreme. So 1 began my medical detective work."

| "What is the effect of giving babies nine immunizations at one doctor's visit, or twenty-seven by the time they
are two years old? How do these all trigger inflammation and how does this cause autism?
Questions like these force us to ask how biology, brain, and behavior connect.
There Is No Gene for Autism: Looking at All the Causes

| "Eric and Catherine grew up without the usual childhood diseases, with no need for doctors except for accidents (broken bones from falls jumping their horses) and without the typical "immunizations" experienced by their young friends, who regularly seemed to get ill despite their vaccinations.
I was able to work mostly from home and raise the children, home-schooling them in order to provide them with superior educational opportunities. That toughest, most challenging ?and exciting ?time of my life resulted in Catherine's entrance into college at 13 and Eric's at 9. Both graduated with honors." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)
| "Protein and calorie deficiencies have been shown to increase risk of infection significantly and to reduce the success rate of immunizations.514 Several studies have demonstrated impaired antibody production as well as decreased levels of serum immunoglobulins, secretory IgA, thymic function, splenic lymphocytes, complement formation, and interferon production, all of which are vital to competent immune function.
Our evidence-based doctors, who seem to know little of the relationship between vaccination safety, immunity, and nutrition, never suggest nutritional supplementation." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)
"In all these cases, the children, as well as the adults, are not only getting the viruses and bacteria as foreign antigens, they are also exposed to extremely powerful additives called immune adjuvants, chemicals designed to make the immune system react even more intensely than normal and assure a higher percentage of successful immunizations. Adjuvants include aluminum salts, which can also damage the brain. You see, one of the problems with any vaccination program is that a certain percentage of people will not be successfully immunized."

"The same is true of receiving mercury-containing immunizations for the flu every year and consuming seafood that contains mercury.
Does Mercury Cause Cancer?
It has been established that mercury damages chromosomes," and we have known for quite some time that gene mutations are closely correlated to the development of cancer. For example, methylmercury and mercury chloride have been shown to cause kidney tumors in male mice."
