Dead Doctors Can’t Prove Vaccine Dangers


Jul 28
http://www.realfarmacy.com/dead-doctors-florida/
A recent article of mine analyzed the foul-play conspiracy ignited by Erin Elizabeth’s blog post “5th holistic doctor (age 33) died in Florida making 5 dead and 5 more missing”, which was picked up by other bloggers and health news sites as the medical conspiracy story of the decade, even adding Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez to the list making 6 dead holistic doctors in a short time frame.

By the way, here’s an email message I had recently received as a subscriber for Dr. Gonzalez’s site from his widow expressing her grief after her husband had died suddenly in her arms from a “cardiac related” episode and announcing the time and location of his funeral.
He is missed by many of us. But he was 68 when he passed on to a better place beyond the slings and arrows of the medical establishment’s attacks on his cancer curing protocol, so it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that he did have a sudden and unexpected heart attack from that stress.
Then again, apparently there is a chemical(s) that can induce a heart attack without leaving its evil trace.
One wonders about the sudden heart attack of a much younger Canadian Dr. Andrew Moulden, who was actively campaigning to prove how every vaccination causes a mini-stroke, brain damage, and the resultant rise in autoimmune diseases that correlate with increased childhood vaccinations.

Here’s a great read on Dr. Moulden from HealthImpact.com.

Getting back to the original 5 dead and 5 missing holistic doctors, I eliminated all but two as potential medical mafia hits based on the available information. Those two are Dr.Teresa Ann Sievers MD and Dr. Jeffrey (Jeff) Bradstreet, whose case for being murdered with a contract hit from the medical mafia is the most likely.

Dr. Jeff Bradstreet’s Anti-Vaccine Activities and His Forbidden Compound for Curing Autism

Dr. Jeff Bradstreet
Dr. Jeff  Bradstreet
Dr. Bradstreet was the father of an autistic vaccine damaged child. His passionate mission as a crusader for vaccine truth was motivated by attempting to cure vaccine injured autistic children and proving vaccines cause autism and reduce immunity, leading to autoimmune diseases.
He began treating autistic kids and adults in his Buford, Georgia clinic shortly after leaving his practice in Florida.
By the way, Buford is a 45 minute freeway drive from Atlanta, the home of the CDC. And only days prior to his death, his clinic was raided by law enforcement agents using a search warrant issued by a federal judge in Atlanta. Here’s the warrant.
The purported purpose of the raid according to that warrant were to confiscate unapproved GcMAF chemical materials, computer  messages, and receipts pertaining to his use of GcMAF, a recently discovered agent that can be created in labs to restore the immune system’s full capacity to combat disease.
Dr. Bradstreet had been using GcMAF,  a vitamin D binding protein macrophage activating factor not approved by the FDA, on 3,000 autistic patients with reasonable success. His bell curve for the treatments were 15% not positively affected, 15% totally cured, and the remaining 70% with significantly improved conditions. All of which beats anything approved by the FDA.
GcMAF is used quite openly in Japan, Italy, and Switzerland for cancer and other diseases, but not in the USA and UK. Remember, Dr. Bradstreet unequivocally and openly associated autism to the MMR vaccine at least, a major taboo with the medical mafia.
He even testified his vaccine-autism link before a federal congressional committee. So his anti-vaccine stance as a medical doctor was open and obvious. And his success with many autistic people using GcMAF had led to that awareness. The following video shows Dr. Bradstreet’s visit to the Immuno Biotech Limited lab in the UK before it was shut down by British authorities.

How GcMAF Works to Overcome Autism, Cancer, and Other Diseases

From a British GcMAF site: It [GcMAF] is a human protein. One week’s GcMAF looks like a small raindrop. If properly produced it is perfectly sterile, and a most ethical course for doctors.
GcMAF is therefore a replacement therapy for those who can’t make their own.
Taking GcMAF replaces the missing part of the immune system, and also acts as the body’s own internal medicine.
GcMAF is extracted and isolated; its a 24 step process, and at the end it must have tests to prove its sterility and activity. (If it does not come with published tests, its probably not GcMAF.)
One GcMAF has been tested in universities, laboratories and clinics, where, as a result of the testing, consistent activity and sterility have always been found, and been the subject of 40 scientific research papers.
The GcMAF Conference 2013 showed GcMAF is a far more powerful molecule than thought, both in terms of the science, and doctors’ results. In stage 4 cancer, some doctors who use the full protocol, listed on “Treatment Strategies,” are saving every patient (if they have not had chemotherapy.) Success can be achieved with all tumour cancers including breast, lung, prostate, pancreatic and melanoma.
Also from the same site:viruses and malignant cells like cancer send out an enzyme called Nagalase that prevents production of your GcMAF: That stops its 11 beneficial effects, and neutralises your immune system. So diseases become chronic, and cancer cells grow unchecked.
According to another source, nagalase from injected viruses, i.e. vaccinations, was another factor that Dr. Bradstreet was looking into as a source of autism and the variety of autoimmune diseases that vaccinations are known to generate beyond the known toxic additives in vaccines.
In other words, the nagalase from injected viruses contained in vaccines, especially live viruses such as contained in the MMR, created an immune deficiency in those vaccinated. A high nagalase blood count has been observed among those with various chronic diseases.
Bradstreet had observed this as another explanation for the efficacy of GcMAF, which neutralizes nagalase enzymes and bolsters the immune system. He was certainly on to something that the medical mafia, especially the vaccine and cancer industry godfathers, don’t want known.
A few days after the raid on Dr. Bradstreet’s clinic, his GcMAF source, the British company Immuno Biotech Limited, was shut down.
However, there are other sources of GcMAF from Japan, and Italy and Switzerland are continuing its use in human trials even as both the USA and UK have deemed it illegal. The bad news from England and the raid on Dr. Bradstreet’s clinic have given rise to the pro-vaccine “science” nuts as a motive for Dr. Bradstreet’s death as suicide, which so far stands as the official announcement.
They invented  the usual theme, “he couldn’t take the failures of GcMAF anymore”, then highlighted a few failures that occur more often with conventional medicine.
We’re supposed to believe without question that he shot himself in the chest instead of the customary suicidal self inflicted gunshot to the head, then threw himself into a North Carolina river miles away from Buford, GA. His family and close friends have a fund raiser to hire private investigators who may come up with information that uncovers his death as a murder instead of suicide.
GcMAF is administered by subcutaneous (under the skin) injection. Because of its power to kick up the immune system, self administration without qualified supervision is not recommended, lest side effects on the way to immunity discourage proceeding with GcMAF protocols, which also includes dietary changes for cancer patients as well.

An Unexpected Discovery in the Brains of Autistic Children

Nobody knows what causes autism, a condition that varies so widely in severity that some people on the spectrum achieve enviable fame and success while others require lifelong assistance due to severe problems with communication, cognition, and behavior. Scientists have found countless clues, but so far they don’t quite add up. The genetics is complicated. The neuroscience is conflicted.
Now, a new study adds an intriguing, unexpected, and sure-to-be controversial finding to the mix: It suggests the brains of children with autism contain small patches where the normally ordered arrangement of neurons in the cerebral cortex is disrupted. “We’ve found locations where there appears to be a failure of normal development,” said Eric Courchesne, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Diego and an author of the study, which appears today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
‘These kinds of changes in cellular architecture would happen during brain development, probably around the first part of the second trimester.’
“It’s been really difficult to identify a lesion or anything in the brain that’s specific and diagnostic of autism,” said Thomas Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health, one of several agencies that funded the project. The new study is notable because it applies sophisticated molecular labeling methods to postmortem tissue from people with autism who died as children, which is incredibly hard to come by, Insel says.
“If it’s real, if it’s replicated and it’s a consistent finding, it’s more evidence that autism starts prenatally and only manifests itself when kids start to have trouble with language or social behavior around age two or three,” Insel said. “These kinds of changes in cellular architecture would happen during brain development, probably around the first part of the second trimester.”
The cortex is the thin sheet of tissue on the surface of the brain. We humans have so much of it that it’s folded up to fit inside our skulls, giving our brains their wrinkly appearance. The cortex plays an important role in everything from basic functions like planning movements and making sense of information from our eyes and ears, to more advanced stuff like language and abstract thought.
If you cut a cross-section through the cortex and looked at it under a microscope, you’d see that it has a consistent cellular architecture, with six distinct layers, each inhabited by certain types of neurons with a certain pattern of connections with other neurons. This uniform organization, many neuroscientists think, is what makes the cortex such a powerful and flexible computer.

But that organization appears to be messed up in spots in many children with autism, according to the new study.
Courchesne and colleagues examined post-mortem brain tissue from 22 children who died between the ages of 2 and 15 — half had autism, half did not. The symptoms of those who had it varied from mild to severe. With help from Ed Lein and other scientists at the Allen Brain Institute, the team applied genetic markers that label specific cell types and specific layers of cortex.
In 10 of 11 of the autistic brains, they found patches of cortex that didn’t follow the normal rules. The patches were a few millimeters across (roughly a quarter to half an inch). In some patches, a specific layer was missing. In others, certain cells weren’t there. The details varied from case to case.
The researchers found these abnormalities in the temporal and prefrontal cortex, areas with roles in language and cognition that are — in a very broad and hand-wavey sort of way — relevant to the symptoms of autism. They did not see them in the occipital cortex, a region primarily associated with vision, which isn’t typically disrupted in autism. Nor did they see them in the brains of 10 of the 11 children without autism. (The one child in this group without autism who had patches of scrambled cortex also had a history of severe seizures, which doesn’t exactly explain that finding, but might be relevant, Courchesne says).
“It’s intriguing to find something consistent like this,” said Helen Barbas, a neuroscientist at Boston University who wasn’t involved in the new study. But she’s less sure about what it means.
One popular hypothesis is that autism results from altered connections within or between regions of the cortex. “The cortex is a huge communication system,” Barbas said. “If you have an abnormality in the structure of cortex, it’s going to affect connectivity.” At this point though, it’s not possible to connect the dots between the scrambled bits of cortex described in the new study and the type of altered connectivity Barbas and others have found previously. “It raises a lot of questions, and that’s good.”

Courchesne acknowledges the new study is just a start. The researchers only had access to small chunks of brain tissue, so they can’t say how widespread the disordered patches were in any given person, let alone how common they are overall in the brains of people with autism (or without it, for that matter). For the same reason, it’s not clear yet whether there’s any relationship between the severity — or the type — of autism symptoms and the number or location of scrambled patches of cortex.
What could cause these abnormalities isn’t clear, but Courchesne thinks genetics and environment could both play a role. The trigger could be some relatively common (but currently unknown) thing encountered by pregnant mothers, Courchesne suggests, but different individuals might vary in their genetic susceptibility to it — and in their genetic potential to compensate for it.
The findings might also be consistent with spontaneous gene mutations, which have been implicated by several teams of autism researchers in recent years, says Robert Hevner, a neuropathologist and neuroscientist at the University of Washington. Unlike the inherited gene mutations passed down from parent to offspring, spontaneous mutations occur later, during development.
“As billions of cells in our body and brain are dividing, mistakes get made,” Hevner said. Because those mistakes affect some cells and not others, they can create a mosaic-like pattern of abnormalities. “If there are mutations occurring on a small scale during brain development, we might see some changes like they’re showing here.”
Still, Hevner sees several reasons to be skeptical about the findings. Chief among them is that the researchers haven’t directly shown that the brains of people with autism have cellular abnormalities — they’ve inferred that from their molecular labeling, which targets RNA. That could be problematic in postmortem tissue, Hevner says. “The brain after death is just sitting there stewing in its own juices, and RNA is a highly unstable molecule that’s easily degraded.”
An alternative interpretation for the new findings, Hevner says, is that the patches with missing molecular markers simply correspond to areas where RNA degraded more quickly than in the surrounding tissue. Courchesne and colleagues did experiments to try to rule this out, but Hevner says he’s still not convinced. “I’ve developed a habit of being cautious,” he said.
When it comes to autism research, that’s probably a healthy habit for everyone.

Truth In Media: Vaccine Court and Autism Cover-up Exposed


































Health Impact News Editor Comments:
Emmy Award winning journalist Ben Swann covers the vaccine-autism cover-up in the U.S. in the best 10 minute video I have ever seen on the subject. Are we beginning to see cracks in the national mainstream media’s censorship on the vaccine issue? You will want to watch the entire 10 and a half minutes of this brilliantly produced piece of investigative journalism, as he clearly explains the facts of how the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (Vaccine Court) works, and how the government can get away with claiming that vaccines do not cause autism.

Truth in Media: Vaccine Court and Autism

Excerpts:
The claims that autism is caused by vaccines have been completely disproven, right?
But is the claim untrue? What if I told you that while HHS says there is no link between autism and vaccinations, the federal government has quietly awarded families of autistic children damages as a result of vaccine injuries?
The first step toward truth is to be informed.
The story we are talking about today is something that just doesn’t get attention from the mainstream media, and on the rare occasion when it does, the story is predictable. Scandal surrounding a doctor who claims autism and vaccines are linked. The bizarre parents who believe that their child has autism because of a vaccine, a claim clearly not based in science.
But is there more to this story than what the media has told you?
The real story behind vaccines begins in 1986.
That is because it was in 1986 when the U.S. Congress created National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. Now that alone is worthy of a story, because what most Americans don’t know is that a family who has child injured by a vaccine, cannot simply sue the vaccine maker. Under this 1986 law, Congress took that power away from families and instead created a “vaccine court” if you will.
The official name, the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (“VICP”).
In 1986 when the VICP was first created vaccine makers were protected from lawsuit by the public. The VICP insulates vaccine manufacturers from liability and requires that petitioners bring their petitions solely against HHS. They may not sue manufacturers or healthcare practitioners. The rationale for this industry and professional protection was to ensure a stable childhood vaccine supply and to keep prices affordable.
The 1986 Law also permits the vaccine makers the right to not disclose known risks to parents or guardians of those being vaccinated. Based on something called the “learned intermediary” doctrine, manufacturers bear no liability for giving, or failing to give, accurate or complete information to those vaccinated.
So for parents, like Blaxill, why does he believe the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has failed?
That goes back to 2002 when nearly five thousand families filed petitions with the VICP claiming that vaccines had caused their children’s neurological disorder called “autism.”
According to the Pace Law Review, in an unprecedented proceeding, the VICP created and conducted the Omnibus Autism Proceeding that concluded in 2010. That means instead of taking the cases one at at time, they consolidated hearings for all these families. In the end, the VICP dismissed all the “test case” claims of vaccine-induced autism.
But there is more… A Review of Compensated Cases of Vaccine-Induced Brain Injury finds that The VICP has compensated approximately 2,500 claims of vaccine injury since the inception of the program in 1986.
Since that time, despite the official ruling that there is no link between vaccines and autism, there have been at least 83 cases of autism among those compensated for vaccine-induced brain damage.
