Meningitis vaccines now pushed onto 9-month-old toddlers

(NaturalNews) Another potentially hazardous vaccination, Menactra, purportedly protecting against an extremely rare disease, meningitis, has been FDA approved for children aged 9 to 23 months. This brings the total vaccine inoculation schedule to over 20 within the child’s first two years. And there are more to come by age five and more after that. Vaccines Benefits are Questionable Most of the childhood diseases supposedly protected by vaccinations come and go without significant damage. Many graphs have demonstrated that serious diseases had already declined naturally and all but disappeared by the time the vaccines for them had been introduced. As a matter of fact, exposure to many minor childhood diseases causes better long term immunization than vaccinations pretend to offer. There have been actual reports of 90% plus MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccinated populations having breakouts with mumps and measles. Rubella hardly happens at all. The more dangerous diseases vaccinated against hardly ever even occur. So the benefits factor is very low in populations with decent hygiene. Vaccine Risks are Real What has been occurring is a surge among the very young with vaccine injury related deaths, as in SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), various forms of paralysis, disabling seizures, autism spectrum behavior often with extreme bowel disorders, ADHD, asthma, and food allergies. The kids are worse off now than before. Most of these alarming events have occurred shortly after vaccinations, especially after a barrage of multiple shots in one day, or within the same time frame as a scheduled series. The fact that cancer and other auto-immune disorders manifest later in life is not included in this vaccine injury summary. But along with increased vaccination schedules, there has been a decline in general health. Cancer cases among the young have increased considerably over the last two to three decades, coinciding with increased vaccination schedules. Impurities occur often in vaccines, especially those derived from animal tissues or human fetuses. Then there are the preservatives that include mercury, formaldehyde, and aluminum. Some vaccines may contain ingredients (adjuvants) to boost the vaccine’s potency. One such adjuvant, squalene, is linked to Gulf War Syndrome. A Japanese researcher has found mercury in all cancer cells. And mercury is a neurotoxin supreme. The U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH) has recently stated that formaldehyde causes cancer. Aluminum is able to cross the blood brain barrier and cause neurological damage. Brain damaging aspartame is used in some vaccines. Several Internet sites have been started and maintained by parents whose children have been seriously vaccine damaged. They share their tragic personal stories that are hidden from public view and ignored or scoffed at by pediatricians and other medical professionals. Do some research.

Drowning in soda: America’s health problems made far worse by massive soda consumption

(NaturalNews) The booming popularity of sugary soft drinks has led to 6,000 more deaths, 14,000 more cases of heart disease and 130,000 new cases of diabetes in the past 10 years, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of California-San Francisco and presented at the annual Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention conference of the American Heart Association. “We can demonstrate an association between daily consumption of sugared beverages and diabetes risk,” researcher Litsa Lambrakos said. “We can then translate this information into estimates of the current diabetes and cardiovascular disease that can be attributed to the rise in consumption of these drinks.” The researchers found that sugary soft drinks also contributed to the loss of 21,000 life-years, plus an increase of 50,000 in the life-years spent suffering from heart disease. “We probably underestimated the incidence, because the rise is greatest among the young, and our model focuses on adults 35 and older,” researcher Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo said. The analysis included juices with sugar added but excluded 100 percent juice. “Juice from fruit itself is nutrient-rich, and its nutritional value goes beyond the carbohydrate content,” said Robert H. Eckel of the University of Colorado, a former president of the American Heart Association. The findings may build new support for the growing push for a soda tax. According to policy experts, a tax of just one cent per ounce would reduce soda consumption by 10 percent. “The reason why there is a current debate about a tax is that scientific evidence in populations has consistently shown that more than one drink a day increases your risk,” Bibbins-Domingo said. “The finding suggests that any kind of policy that reduces consumption might have a dramatic health benefit.” A single serving of soda or other sweetened soft drink contains between 120 and 200 calories of sugar, equivalent to a man’s recommended intake for a full day and exceeding the recommended daily intake for a woman.
