Effects of Mercury on Methionine Synthase: Implications for Disordered Methylation in Autism

Methionine synthase carries out the vitamin B12-dependent methylation of homocysteine, using a methyl group from 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-methylTHF). In doing so it provides a crucial link between two important metabolic systems, the single-carbon folate pathway and the methionine cycle (Fig. 1, right). Recently our laboratory discovered that methionine synthase is also required for dopamine-stimulated methylation of membrane phospholipids, a unique signaling activity of the D4 dopamine receptor (1-3). In the latter case, a homocysteine residue in the D4 receptor, generated by donation of a methyl group to the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), is re-methylated to methionine, with 5-methylTHF again serving as a co-factor (Fig. 1, left). Thus methionine synthase also links dopaminergic neurotransmission to metabolism.

Figure 1. Pathways of single-carbon metabolism. The folate pathway (middle) supplies formate-derived single-carbon groups for purine and thymidine synthesis and methyl groups (as 5-methylTHF) to methionine synthase (Met Syn). The methionine cycle (lower right) provides S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the methyl donor for many methylation reactions. MET313 in the D4 receptor also serves as a donor of methyl groups for methylation of the phospholipid phosphatidylethanolamine (PE).

Sufficient methylation of homocysteine is essential not only to supplement the diet-derived supply of methionine, but also to maintain a low level of homocysteine and its precursor, S-adenosylmethionine (SAH), which otherwise inhibits methylation reactions by competing with the methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). Increased methionine synthase activity can therefore promote methylation by lowering SAH, while impaired activity will impede methylation. In addition, THF released by methionine synthase is needed for other folate-dependent reactions, avoiding a “methyl-folate trap”.

D4 receptor-mediated phospholipid methylation (PLM) can be very robust, up to 50 methylations/receptor/sec, increasing the spacing between phospholipid headgroups and altering the fluid properties of the membrane in the region surrounding the receptor. The activity of membrane proteins located near the D4 receptor can be modulated by PLM and this “solid-state signaling” mechanism has been implicated in the molecular mechanism of attention (4). Proline-rich segments present in the cytoplasmic portion of the receptor in all species allow it to serve as a docking site for signaling proteins that become targets for PLM-based modulation. In humans and other primates, the D4 receptor possesses anywhere from 2 to 11 additional proline-rich repeat segments (Fig. 2), and a higher number of repeats (i.e. seven) brings an increased risk of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (5). Thus methionine synthase activity is important for normal attention while a decrease in its activity may contribute to ADHD.

Figure 2. Structural features of the D4 dopamine receptor. Methionine 313 serves as donor of methyl groups to the headgroups of surrounding phospholipids. Proline-rich segments allow other proteins to bind to the D4 receptor.

Methionine Synthase is Regulated by IGF-1 and Dopamine

Recently our laboratory has showed that the enzymatic activity of methionine synthase in human neuroblastoma cells is increased by stimulation of either D4 dopamine receptors or insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptors (6). In intact cells, this stimulation is evident as an increase in the rate of folate-dependent phospholipid methylation (Fig. 3), while pretreatment of cells with IGF-1 or dopamine or their combination increased the enzyme activity of methionine synthase by more than five-fold (Table 1).

Figure 3. Dose-dependent stimulation of folate-dependent phospholipid methylation (PLM) by IGF-I in SY5Y neuroblastoma cells.

Further investigation revealed that stimulation of methionine synthase by dopamine and IGF-1 involves activation of the PI3-kinase signaling pathway. Via different mechanisms, D4 and IGF-1 receptor activation leads to increased phosphorylation of plasma membrane inositol phospholipids by PI3-kinase. Numerous studies have shown that activation of this pathway by IGF-1 promotes cell survival while activation by other growth factors (e.g. nerve growth factor) leads to cellular differentiation. Moreover, interference with the methionine cycle blocks the ability of nerve growth factor to induce differentiation (7). Inhibition of PI3-kinase not only blocked stimulation of methionine synthase by dopamine and IGF-1, but also reduced enzyme activity to zero (Table 1), indicating an absolute dependence on PI3-kinase in the human neuroblastoma cells we used. This is the first report that extracellular signaling molecules can regulate methionine synthase.

By increasing methionine synthase activity, IGF and dopamine will decrease the levels of both homocysteine and SAH, increasing the SAM to SAH ratio and thereby promoting methylation reactions. Methylation of DNA leads to the formation of nucleosomes (stable complexes of DNA and histones), causing gene silencing. We measured global DNA methylation after a 6-hour treatment with IGF-1 or dopamine and found increases of 101% and 71% respectively, which were blocked by an inhibitor of PI3-kinase (6). Furthermore, PI3-kinase inhibition decreased methylation of the cyclin D2 gene, and increased its transcription. Together these observations indicate that PI3-kinase-dependent activation of methionine synthase provides a mechanism by which IGF-1 and dopamine can regulate gene expression via changes in DNA methylation.

Neurodevelopmental Toxins Inhibit Methionine Synthase

Environmental exposure to heavy metals, such as lead and mercury, causes neurotoxicity and leads to developmental disorders. It has been proposed that the recent dramatic rise in the incidence of autism is linked to the increased number of required vaccinations containing the ethylmercury derivative thimerosal (8,9). Since developmental disorders such as Rett syndrome and fragile-X syndrome include a crucial role for DNA methylation, we investigated the effects of various metal ions on methionine synthase activity and folate-dependent PLM.

As shown in Table 1, treatment of neuroblastoma cells with mercury (1 mM) or thimerosal (10 nM) for 60 min caused a complete loss of measurable methionine synthase activity, while lead significantly reduced enzyme activity. Ethanol, a well-recognized neurodevelopmental toxin, also eliminated activity at a concentration of 0.1%. Folate-dependent PLM studies (Fig. 4) showed that mercury and lead produced dose-dependent inhibition with a threshold near 1 nM, while thimerosal was at least 10-fold more potent. It is notable that a single dose of thimerosal-containing vaccine produces blood levels between 10 and 100 nM (10). These results clearly demonstrate the ability of neurodevelopmental toxins and thimerosal to inhibit PI3-kinase-dependent methionine synthase activity. Additional studies indicated that heavy metal-induced inhibition is likely caused by competition with Cu²⁺, which is required for PI3-kinase activity (6). In contrast, ethanol acts by interfering with IGF-1 receptor activation. EMPHASIS ADDED

The PI3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin reduces activity to undetectable levels and blocks stimulation.The neurodevelopmental toxins ethanol, mercury, lead and thimerosal either inhibit or eliminate methionine synthase activity.

Figure 4. Inhibition of folate-dependent PLM by mercury, lead and thimerosal. Mercury and lead exhibit a threshold near 1 nM for inhibition of IGF-1-stimulated PLM (Left panel). Thimerosal inhibits both basal PLM and stimulation by either IGF-1 or dopamine at concentrations of 0.1 nM and higher (Right panel).

Implications for Autism

It has been proposed that the recent dramatic increase in the incidence of autism is due to neurodevelopmental effects of thimerosal, associated with an increase in the number of required vaccines containing this preservative (8,9). However, this proposal has met with considerable skepticism, since there was no evidence that thimerosal could produce adverse effects on a relevant biochemical process at the concentrations produced by vaccination. A single vaccination produces blood levels between 10 and 100 nM (10). Our findings clearly demonstrate that thimerosal inhibits PI3-kinase-dependent methionine synthase at concentrations well below these levels, raising the possibility that this inhibition might contribute to the pathology of autism.

Several important questions arise: 1. How might lower methionine synthase activity account for the symptoms of autism? 2. What are the risk factor(s) for developing autism?

As noted above, methionine synthase has two substrates: the homocysteine state of the D4 dopamine receptor and homocysteine itself. Reduced activity will therefore decrease D4 receptor-mediated PLM and increase homocysteine levels. Since D4 receptor-mediated PLM appears to be important for the molecular mechanism of attention (4), its impairment could lead to a reduced capacity for attention, which is a primary symptom of autism. Indeed, autism shares several features with ADHD, including a 3-4-fold higher prevalence in males vs. females and both conditions have shown a markedly higher incidence over the past several decades. Reduced activity of methionine synthase, caused by exposure to heavy metals and/or thimerosal, could therefore impair the molecular mechanism of attention, leading to symptoms of autism. ADHD may represent a milder form of autism, associated with moderate inhibition of D4 receptor-mediated PLM.

Since SAH hydrolase (Ado HCYase in Fig. 1) is reversible, a failure of methionine synthase to efficiently convert homocysteine to methionine will lead to increased formation of SAH, to an extent dependent upon the prevailing concentration of adenosine. SAH inhibits methylation reactions, and decreased methionine synthase activity could therefore reduce DNA methylation, resulting in altered patterns of gene expression and impaired development. More specifically, heavy metals and thimerosal may interfere with the ability of growth factors like IGF-1 to promote development by impairing their control over methionine synthase.

The risk of developing autism in response to heavy metal or thimerosal exposure may depend upon genetically-transmitted risk factors that interact with methylation events. For example, previous studies showed that adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity is reduced in autistic individuals (11), associated with increased prevalence of a polymorphism in the ADA gene that reduces enzyme activity (12). As illustrated in Fig. 1, reduced ADA activity will cause elevated adenosine levels that will synergize with impaired methionine synthase activity to produce higher levels of SAH, yielding greater inhibition of methylation reactions. Increased synthesis of adenosine due to elevated 5’-nucleotidase activity has also been reported in autism (13). Mutations in the adenosylsuccinate lyase (ASL) gene are a rare cause of autism (14). These mutations divert single-carbon groups toward de novo purine synthesis and limit the availability of 5-methylTHF. Moreover, increased purine synthesis is common in autism (15). Lower availability of 5-methylTHF will synergize with the inhibitory effects of metals and thimerosal. These examples serve to illustrate how genetic and metabolic abnormalities can predispose to autism. Any impairment in the ability to excrete or detoxify heavy metals will also impose a further increased risk (16).

Summary

Our studies provide new insights into the control of methylation reactions by dopamine and by growth factors that increase PI3-kinase. By increasing methionine synthase activity and accelerating the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, they can lower SAH levels and promote methylation reactions. Neurodevelopmental toxins and thimerosal interfere with PI3-kinase-dependent methionine synthase, resulting in impaired methylation, including DNA methylation that is essential for normal development. D4 receptor-dependent PLM is an essential component of the molecular mechanism of attention, and reduced methionine synthase activity will therefore lead to impairments in attention and in attention-related learning. ADHD may reflect a milder degree of impairment in these same mechanisms. Since thimerosal has largely, but not completely, been eliminated from vaccines in the U.S., it will be of particular interest to observe whether the incidence of autism decreases during the next 3-5 years. Finally, we hope that these findings may point the way toward the discovery of new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of autism as well as new diagnostic tests that could identify individuals at high risk of developing autism in response to thimerosal or heavy metal exposure.

Impairments in social relatedness and communication, repetitive

autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). It is clear that while
genetic factors are important to the pathogenesis of ASDs, mercury
exposure can induce immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and
behavioral dysfunctions similar to traits defining or associated with
ASDs. The Institutional Review Board of the Institute for Chronic
Illnesses (Office for Human Research Protections, U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services, IRB number IRB00005375)
approved the present study. A case series of nine patients who presented
to the Genetic Centers of America for a genetic/developmental
evaluation are discussed. Eight of nine patients (one patient was
found to have an ASD due to Rett’s syndrome) (a) had regressive
ASDs; (b) had elevated levels of androgens; (c) excreted significant
amounts of mercury post chelation challenge; (d) had biochemical
evidence of decreased function in their glutathione pathways; (e)
had no known significant mercury exposure except from Thimerosal-
containing vaccines/Rho(D)-immune globulin preparations;
and (f) had alternate causes for their regressive ASDs ruled out.
There was a significant dose-response relationship between the
severity of the regressive ASDs observed and the total mercury dose
children received from Thimerosal-containing vaccines/Rho (D)-
immune globulin preparations. Based upon differential diagnoses, 8
of 9 patients examined were exposed to significant mercury from
Thimerosal-containing biologic/vaccine preparations during their
fetal/infant developmental periods, and subsequently, between 12
and 24 mo of age, these previously normally developing children
suffered mercury toxic encephalopathies that manifested with
clinical symptoms consistent with regressive ASDs. Evidence for
mercury intoxication should be considered in the differential diagnosis
as contributing to some regressive ASDs.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental syndrome characterized
by impairments in social relatedness and communication, repetitive

(California Department of Developmental Services, 2003). While
genetic factors are recognized as being important in the pathogenesis

received considerable attention. Researchers have previously
reported that exposure to mercury can produce immune, sensory,

extend to neuroanatomy, neurotransmitters, and biochemistry
(Bernard et al., 2001, 2002; Blaxill et al., 2004; Redwood et al.,
2001). Furthermore, recent research observing children’s communicative,
social, affective and repetitive behaviors and toy play
coded from videotapes of the toddlers’ first and second birthday
parties revealed there are children with regressive autistic disorders
that manifest between the ages of 12 and 24 mo (Werner &

these children to mercury from Thimerosal-containing biologics/

Obese Six Times More Likely to Die or Be Admitted to ICU

October 31, 2009 at 6:37 pm · Filed under Weight loss ·Tagged Dr. Blayrock, Dr. Mercola, Obesity

In addition, one of the more powerful risk factors for being admitted to the ICU and of dying is obesity.

Turns out obese people are admitted 6x more often than those of normal weight. And obesity plays a significant role in the risk to children and pregnant women as well, something that has never been discussed by the media, the CDC or the public health officials.

According to Dr. Blaylock, one study found that 32.7% of those admitted to the ICU had asthma or other chronic pulmonary disease, far higher than the general population. Obesity is also associated with a high incidence of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, both of which would increase your risk of having a serious infection, even to mild viruses.

Co-Occuring Bacterial Infections in 36 Childhood Swine Flu Deaths

Common Links in Swine Flu Deaths…

staphylococcus aureus A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that of the 36 children who died from H1N1 from April to August, six had no chronic health conditions. But all of them had a co-occurring bacterial infection.

The most common co-occurring infection that causes flu-related deaths is staphylococcus aureus. A third of the population carries it, most in their nose or on their skin.

The flu causes upper respiratory damage, which allows the staph to make its way into the lungs.

Sources:

Star Tribune October 5, 2009

Dr. Mercola’s Comments:

This is exactly what I was referring to in Wednesday’s special swine flu alert. If you missed it, I urge you to take a moment to review it now. It received over 80,000 views within hours of being published.

In it, I discussed the prevailing propaganda being streamed through popularTV programslike 60-Minutes.

60-Minutes’ Story Also Highlighted Bacterial Infection as Flu Tragedy

Their segment, which aired last Sunday, did ask some hard questions to the Assistant Surgeon General. But they didn’t ask why CDC officials persist in telling the public that this H1N1 strain of influenza is quite dangerous when the experience of those in the southern hemisphere (which just finished their flu season) is in direct conflict with what the CDC is telling the American people.

And, just like most of the mainstream media, 60-Minutes did not ask some of the most essential questions that need to be answered if you are to understand what is really going on with this “pandemic.”

The issue of coexisting bacterial infections is one of those questions that need to be looked at more closely.

Their segment followed the story of a young high school football player who was infected with the H1N1 virus, received some form of medication for his flu symptoms, and then quickly developed a life-threatening staph infection in his lungs.

However, no questions were asked about what type of medication he received, even though it was clear that, after recovering slightly, he then quickly deteriorated after receiving the medication.

There was also no mention of whether the teen had already been vaccinated for seasonal or H1N1 influenza, either recently or in the past years.

A Canadian preliminary study is provocative in that it suggests that those who have gotten seasonal influenza vaccine in the past may be at greater risk for getting H1N1 and having complications.

The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) is calling for a comparison of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated individuals for all health outcomes, and I believe it would be prudent to do so.

After all, in order for anyone to make an informed decision about vaccines, you need to have certain facts at hand, not conjecture stating that something is “believed to be safe” even though it has never been studied!

Why Aren’t These Important Questions Being Asked?

So far 81 children have died from H1N1 in the US. The death of any child is tragic. However, using these deaths to potentially harm countless others who are not naturally at risk may be even worse.

Here are some of the questions that need honest answers, as they may paint an entirely different picture than what we are currently told by health officials and the media.

How many pediatric deaths occurred in children who:

Were positively lab confirmed as H1N1?

Had underlying chronic immune and brain dysfunction?

Were fully vaccinated according to CDC recommendations?

Had received influenza vaccine this year?

Had received seasonal influenza vaccine in previous years?

Received Tamiflu or another anti-viral prior to death?

Had a coinciding bacterial infection with H1N1?

Were never vaccinated – totally unvaccinated?

With only 81 sets of medical records to review, someone ought to be able to compile these statistics.

So far we know that, of the 36 children who died from H1N1 between April and August of this year, 30 had some form of chronic health condition, and all of them had a co-occurring bacterial infection.

Clearly, having a robust, well-functioning immune system is the best way to ensure your body’s innate ability to fight off this mild flu virus, and not succumb to secondary infections such as staphylococcus aureus.

I’d also like to know how many flu deaths might be attributed to antibiotic-resistant staph infections.

According to the Star Tribune, the most common co-occurring infection that causes flu-related deaths is staphylococcus aureus, which is commonly found on your skin and in your nose. About a third of the population carries it.

Unfortunately, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, also known as MRSA, has become a serious public health problem, one that is getting progressively worse and actually exacts a greater death toll than “modern plagues” like AIDS.

Needless to say, we already know the reason for the ever increasing threat of MRSA – over use of antibiotics, both in medicine and conventional farming practices. It’s an entirely man-made problem, the answer to which is exercising RESTRAINT in the use of antibiotics, so that they can actually work when someone’s life is really on the line…

It could be of great value to have more facts about each of these H1N1 flu deaths.

But the fact still remains that flu vaccines will nearly always decrease your overall immune function, not enhance it!

Obese at Six Times Higher Risk from H1N1 Complications

Most authorities agree that the H1N1 variant virus is quite mild. The vast majority of people (99.99%) are having very brief and mild illnesses from this virus. And yet, some people do die from it – some die each and every flu season. But who, and why?

Unfortunately, the media is not giving you the answers to these questions.

I will publish an excellent review, and a two-hour audio interview with Dr. Russell Blaylock on this issue on Tuesday, so please stay tuned! Because as he will explain in greater detail, 100 percent of those who have died had underlying health problems before they were infected.

Swine Flu Hoax Exposed

Exposed: The Swine Flu Hoax!

by Andrew Bosworth
by Andrew Bosworth

The alarm has been sounded. Politicians, pharmaceutical executives and media conglomerates would have us believe that a 1918-style pandemic is a real threat. The 1918 pandemic, however, evolved out of conditions unique to World War I, for four specific reasons.

Why 2009 Is Not 1918

First, World War I was characterized by millions of troops living in waterlogged trenches along the Western Front. This war zone became fertile ground for an opportunistic virus, as medical literature reveals:

“…a landscape that was contaminated with respiratory irritants such as chlorine and phosgene, and characterized by stress and overcrowding, the partial starvation in civilians, and the opportunity for rapid ‘passage’ of influenza in young soldiers would have provided the opportunity for multiple but small mutational charges throughout the viral genome.”¹

Second, the war witnessed the growth of industrial-scale military camps and embarkation ports, such as Etaples in France, enabling the flu virus to enter into another phase of accelerated mutation. On any given day, Etaples was a makeshift city of 100,000 troops from around the British Empire and its former dominions. These soldiers concentrated into unsanitary barracks, tents and mess halls.

Today, many cities and nations have dense concentrations of people; none of these, however, are geographically isolated under the conditions of trench warfare and World War I-style deployments. Of course, there are smaller, sub-populations of people in prisons (prone to multi-drug resistant tuberculosis), in military barracks (prone to respiratory pathogens and meningococcal infections) and on cruise ships (prone to the Norovirus) – all proof of the connection between human confinement on the one hand and infectious disease on the other.

Third, after the war, ships such as the USS Alaskan became floating Petri dishes. Thousands of soldiers were packed like sardines for the long voyage home, allowing the virus to reverberate within hermetically-sealed units.

Fourth, returning troops were stuffed into boxcars for the train trip back to military bases, where they infected new recruits. Later, it was documented that Army regiments whose barracks allowed only 45 square feet per soldier had a flu incidence up to ten times that of regiments afforded 78 square feet per man.²

The 1918 flu virus became pandemic because, during World War I, the normal host-pathogen relationship was abandoned when millions of young men crowded into geographical confinement. In World War I, a flu virus was presented with a seemingly limitless number of hosts – almost all young, male, and with compromised immune systems. Unconstrained and unchecked by the usual habits of human behavior, the virus went rogue.

Flu viruses are smart, but they are not suicidal: if the host becomes extinct the virus will become extinct too. The evolutionary strategy, from the virus’s perspective, is to stay one step ahead of the immune systems of both humans and animals – but not two steps ahead. The flu virus aims to infect and reproduce without killing a critical mass of the hosts, of the herd, so the virus’s virulence is ameliorated after it becomes fatal for people on the margins of the host population – the weak and the elderly. World War I disrupted this synchronized, co-evolutionary relationship between flu viruses and human populations.

No flu since 1918 has been strong enough to produce, in millions of people, a “cytokine storm,” which is an immunological over-reaction leading to pulmonary edema (the lungs filling with fluid) – the curse of those with the strongest immune systems, normally between 20 and 40 years of age.

In normal flu pandemics, even in severe ones, the flu virus kills a portion of the weak and elderly. This appears to be the case in 1837 for Germany and in 1890 for Russia, though reliable medical evidence is scarce. It was certainly true for the Asian flu of 1957 and the Hong Kong flu of 1968, neither of which were significantly fatal for young adults. The flu 1976–1977 has been exposed as a boondoggle, a fraud, with far more people dying of the vaccine than from the flu itself.

Indeed, 1918 was an aberration. Since then, no flu has scythed away so many people: some 500,000 Americans and anywhere between 25–50 million people worldwide in three waves: first in March, then in August (the deadliest wave), and in then again in November of 1918, lasting into the spring of 1919.

The origins of the 1918 pandemic can be traced back to the trenches of the Western Front in 1915, 1916, and 1917 – to the world’s first large-scale industrial and international war. There was no other cause: If WWI had not been fought, it is inconceivable that the 1918 flu pandemic would have been so severe. Today, in 2009, absent the conditions of WWI, it is preposterous for political and medical authorities to claim that the swine flu is a menace to society.

The Mysterious Origins of the H1N1 “Swine Flu” Virus

If the current H1N1 swine flu virus does become abnormally lethal, there would be three leading explanations: first, that the virus was accidentally released, or escaped, from a laboratory; second, that a disgruntled lab employee unleashed the virus (as happened, according to the official version of events, with the 2001 anthrax attack); or third, that a group, corporation or government agency intentionally released the virus in the interests of profit and power.

Each of the three scenarios represents a plausible explanation should the swine virus become lethal. After all, the 1918 flu virus was dead and buried – until, that is, scientists unearthed a lead coffin to obtain a biopsy of the corpse it contained. Later, researchers similarly disturbed an Inuit woman buried under permafrost.³

The US Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, with a scientist from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, then began to reconstruct the 1918 Spanish flu. Had Iran or North Korea engaged in Frankenstein experiments (complete with ransacking graves) to reverse engineer the 1918 virus the US and the UK would have gone ballistic at the UN Security Council.

Interestingly, numerous doctors and scientists suspect that the swine flu virus was cultured in a laboratory. A mainstream Australian virologist, Adrian Gibbs – who was one of the first to analyze the genetic properties of the 2009 swine flu – believes that scientists accidentally created the H1N1 virus while producing vaccines. And Dr. John Carlo, Dallas Co. Medical Director, “This strain of swine influenza that’s been cultured in a laboratory is something that’s not been seen anywhere actually in the United States and the world, so this is actually a new strain of influenza that’s been identified.”⁴Because of this, the 2009 swine flu virus – which has yet to be detected in any animals – has a rather suspicious pedigree.

The Propaganda Campaign

Across the mainstream media, reports announce one swine flu death after another (even though ordinary flu kills about 35,000 Americans each year). Upon closer scrutiny of what passes for journalism, the victims have “underlying health problems,” or “a common underlying health condition,” or “significant medical conditions.”

One news headline even blared: “Swine flu mother dies after giving birth, leaving her premature baby fighting for life,” and only later, buried deep in the story underneath, did it explain that she had “other medical problems” which included being confined to a wheelchair because of a serious car accident.

Citizens the world over are increasingly skeptical of hyped headlines followed by smaller-print caveats. They are uneasy with the effort to create “doublethink” – a term coined by George Orwell in 1984 and a reference to holding two contradictory ideas in one’s mind simultaneously, paralyzing critical thought.

The media has never been in the habit of reporting the cases of people who, for no known reason, die of the flu. Out of the 35,000 Americans who die each year from flu-related illnesses, some are bound to be relatively young and healthy. It happens. This year, however, their stories are front-page news.

More recently, news reports now claim that the H1N1 swine flu can affect people in the lungs and lead to pneumonia. This, however, is what separates the flu from the common cold in the first place; and this is why tens of thousands of elderly people die of flu-related symptoms each year. Fox News even claimed that “this one morphs and mutates and comes back in different ways…,” (like all flu viruses). In short, the media now uses the flu’s own ordinary symptoms to fuel fear.

Fortunately, a growing wave of online media challenges the propaganda. Back in 1976, there were no rival voices, and the Center for Disease Control’s manipulative television commercials dominated the airwaves. Fortunately, as a testament to official shamelessness, these videos are now archived and searchable on the Internet under the title of “1976 Swine Flu Propaganda.”

Now, like then, the US government’s pandemic policy alternates between the ridiculous and the repugnant. The government’s flu website is revealing. First, the historical section on the 1918 virus is intellectually dishonest, making absolutely no link between the unique conditions of World War I and the flu pandemic; instead, the site propagates the erroneous notion that this virus came out of the blue.⁵

Second, the site announces an absurd American Idol-style video contest: “Create a Video About Preventing or Dealing With the Flu & Be Eligible to Win $2500 Cash!” (Congress has earmarked 8 billion dollars for swine flu prevention and can only offer $2,500 to the proles – or, rather, to the one prole who, rising above mediocrity, best parrots the Party Line.)

And third, the site encourages the use of Twitter to “stay informed…” There is something mildly disturbing about the US federal government promoting Twitter as a form of resistance to foreign authoritarianism, while, simultaneously, using social networking to further federalize and protect the abuse of power at home.

1976 + 1984 = 2009

In sum, it appears that the 2009 swine flu pandemic will not be 1918. It might be a 1976-style hoax, however, serving profit and power – with a bit of Orwell’s 1984 thrown in for good measure.

What Ingredients are in the H1N1 “Swine Flu” Vaccine?

It is quite refreshing to see print newspapers finally covering this H1N1 “swine flu” hype. In case you are just joining us, the H1N1 “swine flu” first popped up in Mexico back in April. After an initial hype where it seemed like the “swine flu” was the next Black Plague, the mainstream media suddenly stopped covering H1N1 except for saying that it would return in the fall in a much worse way.

Since that time, governments started setting up experimental programs throughout the United States and worldwide, despite the fact that experimental vaccines are killing people. The U.S. government then said it would have a vaccine ready by October to inoculate the masses, despite the obvious risks from experimental vaccines. Further, the vaccine makers have been given immunity, so if the vaccine kills or disables you, tough luck!

Check the ingredients in this H1N1 vaccine, and you will see that it will contain many of the same ingredients such as squalene, thimersol (a/k/a mercury) and cancer cells from animals that have all negatively affected thousands in the past. Mercury destroys brain cells like a nuclear bomb going off in a populated city. Squalene is not much better, because it causes autoimmune diseases that permanently cripple and kill people. However, there are many reputable doctors who say vaccines simply do not work, period. In fact, historically there are many instances of massive outbreaks of disease after mass vaccinations and there are many more health problems that occur commonly than simply getting the disease vaccinated against. Some of these problems are serious, even deadly. It is becoming common knowledge, for example, that the current wave of autism in America is directly linked to vaccinations that contain thimerisol, a form of mercury.

And high-dose mercury is not the only additive in the new flu vaccinations. Besides injecting live flu virus directly into yours and your child’s body, these shots will also contain “adjuvants,” to make the virus supply for the shots go farther. One of the adjuvants will probably be “squalene.” This is a naturally occurring substance found throughout the human body, and might be harmless if you drank it. But when it is injected, several of the doctors in the references below, believe it will cause the body to produce antibodies which will produce autoimmune diseases in many and compromise their quality of life permanently, and they believe many will die. This is in addition to spreading the very pandemic that has been predicted, not from getting the virus naturally, but from getting the virus by direct injection. That, in turn, will give the government a perfect excuse for measures that WHO mandates in their procedures, including incarceration for anyone attempting to refuse the shots (probably three per person), and the use of deadly force, if necessary

What’s The Danger of Swine Flu Vaccinations?

By Dr. Anders Bruun Laursen

“…So, as you see, there is no confusion with regard to swine flu and bird flu viruses. But there is another important consideration: the role of squalene.

The average quantity of squalene injected into the US soldiers abroad and at home in the anthrax vaccine during and after the Gulf War was 34.2 micrograms per billion micrograms of water. According to one study, this was the cause othe Gulf War syndrom in 25% of 697.000 US personnel at home and abroad. (3). You can find this table of FDA analyses from the Gulf War lots on The Military Vaccine Resource Directory website (4).

a.. AVA 020 – 11 ppb squalene (parts per billion)

> b.. AVA 030 – 10 ppb squalene

> c.. AVA 038 – 27 ppb squalene

> d.. AVA 043 – 40 ppb squalene

> e.. AVA 047 – 83 ppb squalene

These values were confirmed by Prof. R. F. Garry (5) before the House of Representatives. Prof Garry was the man to discover the connection between the Gulf War syndrome and squalene.

According to his findings, the Gulf War syndrome was caused by squalene, which was banned by a Federal Court Judge in 2004 from the PentagonZs use. (6)

As seen on p. 6 of this EMEA document (7), the Pandremix vaccine contains 10,68 mg of squalene per 0,5 ml. This corresponds to 2.136.0000 microgrammes pr. billion microgrammes of water, i.e. one million times more squalene per dose than in (4). There is any reason to believe that this will make people sick to a much higher extent than in 1990/91. This appears murderous to me.”

Then, in looking for some confirmation on Novartis putting gp 120 (an HIV/AIDS protein) in their vaccines, I found the following…

The Vaccine May Be More Dangerous Than Swine Flu

By Dr Russell Blaylock

http://socioecohistory.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/dr-russell-blaylock-vaccine-may-be-more-dangerous-than-swine-flu

“…Novartis, the second contender, also has an agreement with WHO for a pandemic vaccine. Novartis appears to have won the contract, since their vaccine is near completion. What is terrifying is that these pandemic vaccines contain ingredients, called immune adjuvants that a number of studies have shown cause devastating autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and lupus.

Animal studies using this adjuvant have found them to be deadly. A study using 14 guinea pigs found that when they were injected with the special adjuvant, only one animal survived. A repeat of the study found the same deadly outcome.

So, what is this deadly ingredient? It is called squalene, a type of oil. The Chiron company, maker of the deadly anthrax vaccine, makes an adjuvant called MF-59 which contains two main ingredients of concern-squalene and gp120. A number of studies have shown that squalene can trigger all of the above-mentioned autoimmune diseases when injected.

The MF-59 adjuvant has been used in several vaccines. These vaccines, including tetanus and diphtheria, are the same vaccines frequently associated with adverse reactions.

I reviewed a number of studies on this adjuvant and found something quite interesting. Several studies done on human test subjects found MF-59 to be a very safe immune adjuvant. But when I checked to see who did these studies, I found-to no surprise-that they were done by the Novartis Pharmaceutical Company and Chiron Pharmaceutical Company, which have merged. They were all published in “prestigious” medical journals. Also, to no surprise, a great number of studies done by independent laboratories and research institutions all found a strong link between MF-59 and autoimmune diseases.

Squalene in vaccines has been strongly linked to the Gulf War Syndrome. On August 1991, Anthony Principi, Secretary of Veterans Affairs admitted that soldiers vaccinated with the anthrax vaccine from 1990 to 1991 had an increased risk of 200 percent in developing the deadly disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig’s disease. The soldiers also suffered from a number of debilitating and life-shortening diseases, such as polyarteritis nodosa, multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, transverse myelitis (a neurological disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord), endocarditis (inflammation of the heart’s inner lining), optic neuritis with blindness and glomerulonephritis (a type of kidney disease).

The second ingredient, and one that greatly concerns me, is called gp120, a glycoprotein. Researchers found when it was mixed with squalene, the glycoprotein became strongly antigenic – that is, it produced a powerful and prolonged immune response to the vaccination. In fact, their studies show that with each dose, the intense immune reaction lasts over a year.

Now for the shocker-the glycoprotein-gp120, a major component of MF-59 vaccine adjuvant, is the same protein fragment isolated from HIV – the virus that is responsible for the rapid dementia seen in AIDS patients.

Studies have shown that when gp120 is taken up by the microglia cells in the brain, it causes intense inflammation and makes the brain subject to excitotoxic damage-a process called immunoexcitotoxicity. This is also the cause of the MS and optic neuritis associated with vaccines that contain MF-59.

So, how would the gp120 get into the brain? Studies of other immune adjuvants using careful tracer techniques have shown that they routinely enter the brain following vaccination. What most people do not know, even the doctors who recommend the vaccines, is that most such studies by pharmaceutical companies observe the patients for only one to two weeks following vaccination-these types of reactions may take months or even years to manifest.

It is obvious that the vaccine manufacturers stand to make billions of dollars in profits from this WHO/government-promoted pandemic. Novartis, the maker of the new pandemic vaccine, recently announced that they would not give free vaccines to impoverished nations-everybody pays.

One must keep in mind that once the vaccine is injected, there is little you can do to protect yourself-at least by conventional medicine. It will mean a lifetime of crippling illness and early death.

There are much safer ways to protect oneself from this flu virus, such as higher doses of vitamin D3, selective immune enhancement using supplements, and a good diet.” End of excerpt by Dr. Blaylock.

Mercury in Flu Shots

SHOULD YOU GET THE FLU SHOT?

By RFD Columnist, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, www.nmaseminars.com

News reports have been flooding us with articles warning that the impending flu season may be the worst in years. Even though it is difficult to separate the facts from the hype, a close evaluation of the flu vaccine will reveal that serious questions must be raised about the recommendations that are routinely touted, namely high efficacy with little risk. Anyone considering a flu shot should become informed about the substances coming through that needle, and should be determined to investigate the safety and efficacy issues that are still unresolved.

The Vaccine Virus

Each year, a new vaccine is developed that contains three different viruses (one influenza B and two influenza A strains). CDC officials select the new viruses based on which viruses were prevalent during the flu season in China and Australia the previous year. The CDC admits that the viruses selected for the new vaccine are chosen on the basis of an “educated guess.” [i]

What’s in a Flu Shot?

The influenza virus is grown in “specific pathogen-free” (SPF) eggs. Eggs are tested for a variety of agents—usually between 23 and 31—to confirm the absence of those specific pathogens. Laboratories limit the number of agents that are screened due to the shear abundance of potential viruses and/or bacteria to choose from. In addition, screening for every potential agent would be cost prohibitive.[ii] If none of the tested agents are detected, the vaccine is reported as “pathogen free.”

However, it should be understood that there is a distinct difference between “pathogen free” and “specific pathogen-free.” In its July 1996 report, the Institute of Medicine acknowledged that “although it is not possible to produce a completely uncontaminated animal, it is possible to produce an animal [or egg] certified to be free of specific pathogens.”[iii] Viruses that are harmless to their animal host, however, may be potentially harmful to humans.

During the manufacturing process, antibiotics (neomycin, polymyxin B and gentamicin) are added to eliminate stray bacteria found in the mixture. The final solution can contain the following additives in any combination: Triton X-100 (a detergent); polysorbate 80 (a potential carcinogen); gelatin; formaldehyde; and residual egg proteins. In addition, many of the influenza vaccines still contain thimerosal as a preservative. Thimerosal (mercury) is being investigated for its link to brain injury and autoimmune disease.

Does the Flu Shot Protect?

There are no guarantees that the influenza viruses selected for the vaccine will be the identical strains circulating during a given flu season. In fact, it has recently been announced that this year’s flu vaccine does not include the strain that is being reported by doctors in the community called the “A Fujian” strain. Outbreaks have been reported in Texas, Colorado and elsewhere[iv] that involve strains that do not match the current flu vaccine. CDC tests have confirmed that more than 80 per cent of the 55 strains of influenza virus isolated thus far are the A Fujian strain. Even so, the CDC still maintains that the current vaccine could provide cross-protection against the new variant, but the fact is, no one knows for sure.

Moreover, the majority of illnesses characterized by fever, fatigue, cough and aching muscles are not caused by the influenza virus. Non-influenza viruses (e.g., rhinoviruses respiratory syncytial virus [RSV], adenoviruses, and parainfluenza viruses) can cause symptoms referred to influenza-like illnesses (ILI). Certain bacteria, such as Legionella spp., Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae, have been documented as the causes of ILI.[v]

Notably, these microbes are not part of the flu vaccine. Unless an organism’s antigen is contained within the vaccine, there is no protection conferred by the vaccine. It is estimated that most adults will average 1-3 episodes of ILI, and most children will average 3-6 episodes. The CDC also admits that “many persons who have been vaccinated against influenza can still get the flu”[vi]

Targeting the Elderly

The flu vaccine is generally recommended for persons aged 65 and older, and those with medical conditions who could experience serious complications from the flu. Medical journals report broad differences in effectiveness for the elderly, ranging from 0 to 85%.

The CDC states that 90% of deaths from influenza occur among the elderly. Considering that nearly 65% of all deaths (from any cause) occur in this age group, it is nearly impossible to prove that flu shots significantly increase life expectancy in this group. The truth is that most people—young and old—will weather a bout of the flu without hospitalization or complications.

A Serious Concern: Alzheimer’s Disease

Hugh Fudenberg, MD, an immunogeneticist and biologist with nearly 850 papers published in peer review journals, has reported that if an individual had five consecutive flu shots between 1970 and 1980 (the years studied), his/her chances of getting Alzheimer’s Disease is ten times higher than if they had zero, one, or two shots.[vii]

Dr. Boyd Haley, Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Kentucky, Lexington has done extensive research in the area of mercury toxicity and the brain. Haley’s research has established a likely connection between mercury toxicity and Alzheimer’s disease. [viii] In a paper published in collaboration with researchers at University of Calgary, Haley stated that “seven of the characteristic markers that we look for to distinguish Alzheimer’s disease can be produced in normal brain tissues, or cultures of neurons, by the addition of extremely low levels of mercury.”[ix] EMPHASIS ADDED

Does this prove that the mercury contained in the influenza shot can be directly linked to Alzheimer’s? No, absolutely not. But further research in this area is critically needed because the absence of proof is not the “proof of absence.”[x]

Flu Vaccine Now for Children

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) adopted a resolution effective March 1, 2003 that expanded the use of the influenza vaccine to include children aged 6-23 months. The recommendations also included vaccinating those aged 2 to 18 years who live in households containing children younger than 2 years of age.[xi]

The flu vaccine most commonly given to children is Fluzone, a trivalent vaccine grown in chicken eggs. Harvested with formaldehyde and containing the recommended ratio of 15 ug of each of the three prototype viral strains, each dose of Fluzone also contains 25 ug of mercury.[xii] The new CDC recommendations include giving the influenza vaccine to children beginning at six months of age and then annually, for the rest of their lives. Children less than age 9 receiving their first flu shot, two doses of vaccine are recommended, with a minimum interval of one month between the two doses. However, the CDC does not provide a direct reference to substantiate this recommendation.[xiii]

On June 17, 2003, the FDA approved an intranasal influenza vaccine for use in healthy persons aged 5–49 years. Flumist is a live-virus vaccine that can cause a litany of problems.

Alternatives?

If you choose not to receive the flu shot, have a discussion with your doctor regarding other options. However, some simple and possibly quite effective things you can do for yourself to prevent the flu include: 1) avoid white sugar;[xiv] 2) exercise regularly; 3) get adequate sleep; 4) eat a healthy diet, omitting trans-fats; 5) drink plenty of purified water daily and 6) wash your hands. A common way people contract viral illnesses is by rubbing their nose or their eyes after their hands have been contaminated with a virus. The CDC states, “the most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick is to wash your hands.”[xv]

We are so used to taking medications—for prevention and treatment—that it is difficult to comprehend that these modest recommendations are really the most powerful ways to minimize the likelihood of getting the flu.

Making the Decision

You may decide to consult a physician who is schooled in alternative medicine to assess a variety of options for you and your family. What is most important, in the end, is to become as informed as possible regarding your options for keeping healthy and avoiding the flu.

If Obama Believes Everyone Should Receive Swine Flu Vaccine, Why Have His Daughters Not Been Vaccinated?

This disturbing governmental propaganda campaign promoting an unsafe vaccination and declaration of a public health emergency for a phony Swine flu epidemic seems like deja vu “all over again.” This is not the kind of change people voted for.

The New “Twilight Zone” — Obama Declares Swine Flu Emergency

Posted by: Dr. Mercola
October 27 2009 | 13,424 views

President Barack Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency on Friday October 23, empowering the health secretary to suspend federal requirements and speed up treatment.

His declaration authorizes Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to bypass normal federal regulations so health officials can respond more quickly to the outbreak, which, allegedly, has killed more than 1,000 people in the United States.

“As a nation, we have prepared at all levels of government, and as individuals and communities, taking unprecedented steps to counter the emerging pandemic,” Obama wrote in the declaration, which the White House announced Saturday.

He said the pandemic keeps evolving, the rates of illness are rising rapidly in many areas and there’s a potential “to overburden health care resources.”

Because of vaccine production delays, the government has backed off initial estimates that 120 million doses would be available by mid-October. As of mid-October, only 11 million doses had been shipped to health departments, doctor’s offices and other providers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials said.

The government now estimates to have about 50 million doses of swine flu vaccine out by mid-November and 150 million in December.

Dr. Mercola’s Comments:

It would appear that President Obama has not been apprised of the real facts of the situation, and has declared the swine flu a national public health emergency. To read the declaration in its entirety, please see this Los Angeles Times article.

The intention of this report is to show you with the government’s own statistics that there appears to be MASSIVE amounts of misinformation and outright deception going on that appear to be designed to panic American people into believing that H1N1 influenza is more serious and widespread than it is.

We are the ONLY major news source that is warning the public about the true extent of this misinformation regarding the true nature of H1N1 swine flu in America. Most of the mainstream media is continuing to spread misinformation.

I am PLEADING with you to pass this information and our website link to as many people as you know. We simply can’t continue to fight the massive media and apparently deceptive government health agencies unless people like you rise up and make your voice known.

Send this link to EVERY person you love or care about. Write them a PERSONAL note that is kind and gentle and ask them to do their homework and seriously evaluate all the evidence before they accept the information being shared by the media, which is potentially being heavily influenced by pharmaceutical interests, as the truth.

Warning!

Once you either listen to the audio or read this article you will most likely be shocked by the extent of how serious this misinformation really is.

So be ready to be surprised.

If a private individual were to spread misinformation like this they would most likely suffer some very serious consequences, perhaps being immediately thrown in prison for conspiracy. But since this is the US government you will not likely see any prosecutions as a result of the distortions we will reveal.

CBS AND THE SWINE FLU
Jon Rappoport
nomorefakenews.com

Get this. The CDC stopped testing people for Swine Flu in JULY. Why? Because CDC assumed there was already an epidemic, and therefore more tests would be waste of time and money.

CBS has been trying to obtain state-by-state numbers for Swine Flu cases compiled, by the CDC, BEFORE the testing was stopped. The CDC has refused to come across with those numbers. It’s been stonewalling CBS for the last three months.

Why?

No answer from the CDC. But the truth is obvious. The actual Swine Flu case numbers don’t begin to match the ominous pronouncements about Swine Flu from the CDC, and the case numbers certainly don’t match the general press hysteria and fear-mongering.

But CBS didn’t stop at the stone wall of the CDC.. They went to individual states who continued to test patients for Swine Flu after July, and they obtained some VERY interesting figures.

Brilliant CBS Investigation Gets BURIED by Media

I just published a major swine flu update on Saturday about how CBS News investigative journalists exposed how misleading statistics are being used to panic the public into complying with the huge H1N1 swine flu vaccination program.

Last week, CBS News published the results from a three-month long investigation into the swine flu. One would think this would have received MASSIVE media exposure since their findings are in direct conflict with what the government is publicly stating.

Of major interest, as you can see on the video on the Saturday article, CBC investigative journalists went to the CDC to seek their help in clarifying the situation and answering outstanding questions but CDC officials refused. They would not cooperate and CBS had to do their own investigation.

Even worse, after CBS compiled the data, the CDC refused to comment on it.

What’s this all about???

It can only make you wonder if the CDC is really interested in authentically serving the public good, or if, perhaps, it has been heavily influenced by outside corporate interests.

This is not good. The only way that we can have an effective response to the reported H1N1 influenza outbreak is if the government is transparent with the data. We have simply not seen ANY evidence that government health agencies are willing to be transparent. In fact, all evidence points to the contrary.

The CBS investigative report included state-by-state test results that revealed some VERY different facts from what the US Centers for Disease Control has been telling the American public.
The CBS report found that H1N1 flu cases are NOT AT ALL as prevalent as feared. A CBS article even states:

“If you’ve been diagnosed “probable” or “presumed” 2009 H1N1 or “swine flu” in recent months, you may be surprised to know this: odds are you didn’t have H1N1 flu.

In fact, you probably didn’t have the flu at all.

The results reveal a pattern that surprised a number of health care professionals we consulted. The vast majority of cases were negative for H1N1 as well as seasonal flu, despite the fact that many states were specifically testing patients deemed to be most likely to have H1N1 flu, based on symptoms and risk factors, such as travel to Mexico.”

In most states the percentages ranged from 83 to 98 percent NOT BEING H1N1 or influenza.

As you can see from this CBS News graphic, not only are most cases of suspected flu-like illnesses not H1N1 influenza, they’re not influenza at all, but rather some type of cold or upper respiratory infection that looks like influenza but is caused by another type of virus or bacteria!

Given these facts, there is a HUGE question in my mind as to whether or not the 1,000 deaths attributed to the swine flu were in fact CONFIRMED to be the H1N1 virus.

We Were Winning the Misinformation Battle

If you read the LA Times link in the above reference you will see that their poll showed that 62% of the public were choosing to NOT vaccinate themselves or their family. Other polls showed different numbers but nearly all showed that the MAJORITY of Americans were panicking and accepting the government story.

So President Obama released this “emergency” declaration over the weekend – most likely because he trusted his federal health official advisors – and that declaration has the potential to create massive fear and panic in the population, Because he is the PRESIDENT and people are hearing their PRESIDENT tell them that 1000 Americans have died from swine flu and we are in the middle of a serious public health emergency and many people may be thinking “I probably should play it safe and get the vaccine for myself and my family.”

I have had a number of people post on my Facebook Fan Page of this fear and concern and prior to the announcement they were not making these types of comments.

Most mainstream media has chosen to ignore the impact we are making and attempt to label us as clueless “fear mongers.” This weekend the Boston Globe REFUSED to acknowledge this site by name in an article they posted Sunday.

“Some of the same government-haters who spread myths about “death panels” for the elderly are now spouting misinformation about the swine flu vaccine, and they’re getting support from holistic-medicine enthusiasts, some autism activists, and talk show host Bill Maher.”

So let’s CAREFULY examine the facts from President Obama’s weekend announcement.

One Thousand Deaths from Swine Flu?!

Oh really?

Well I am from Chicago and I want to see the evidence. If you read Obama’s declaration, you will find a complete absence of documentation to support his assertion that 1000 have died from H1N1 in the US. Nada, nothing no links, no references anywhere in the document to back up his assertion.

In fact, if you go to the definitive collector and holder of the US data, you will find that there is NO evidence to back this claim.

The CDC’s own web site readily admits that since August 30, 2009 they are no longer testing for H1N1. They don’t even recommend it any more. They are substituting a clinical definition for blood testing that will positively confirm that the “suspected” cases of H1N1 influenza are actually H1N1 influenza.

They’ve even coined what appears to be a whole new term: “ILI,” which stands for “influenza-like illness.”

The CDC H1N1 flu site reads:

“… tracking of 2009 H1N1 hospitalizations and deaths will not be the same after August 30, 2009.

In an effort to add additional structure to the national 2009 H1N1 reporting, new case definitions for influenza-associated hospitalizations and deaths were implemented on August 30, 2009.

The new definitions allow states to report to CDC hospitalizations and deaths (either confirmed OR probable) resulting from all types of influenza, not just those from 2009 H1N1 flu.

Influenza and pneumonia syndrome hospitalizations and deaths may be an overestimate of actual number of flu-related hospitalizations and deaths, but CDC believes influenza and pneumonia syndromic reports are likely to be a more sensitive measure of flu-associated hospitalizations and deaths than laboratory confirmed reports during this pandemic. However, the syndromic reports of all hospitalizations and deaths recorded as either influenza or pneumonia will mean that the case counts are less specific than before and will include cases that are not related to influenza infection.”

Folks, make no mistake about it. Health officials and media WILL trumpet these numbers as being H1N1 “swine flu deaths” even though, as you can CLEARLY read on the CDC’s site, they admit that they will now include hospitalizations and deaths that are not even RELATED to the common influenza infection, let alone H1N1.

Well, no wonder the flu appears to be spreading when they are now including mere “symptoms of flu,” which the CBS investigation found were NOT EVEN INFLUENZA RELATED in the overwhelming majority of cases!

Public Health Emergency Declaration This Weekend Was Initiated MONTHS Ago

Most have no idea that the declaration announced over the weekend was not legally initiated then. In fact it was initiated months ago. There was no new legal action that occurred over the weekend, only an announcement about a highly questionable and completely unsubstantiated 1000 deaths in the US from H1N1.

The Secretary has actually renewed that declaration twice, once on July 24, 2009, and more recently on October 1, 2009.

National Emergency Declaration is an IRRATIONAL Respose

It seems quite obvious that the US government has full intention of administering as many doses of swine flu vaccine as possible this season, despite what the scientific evidence demonstrates. Declaring a national public health emergency because of an influenza virus strain that is milder than the seasonal influenza strains that have been circulating in the past few decades every year is nothing short of bizarre.

One can only wonder the motivation behind this intention.

Could it be that $7 BILLION dollars will be earned by the drug companies for the vaccines? Quite possibly, but even if that were not the case let’s look to Warren Buffett, one of the wealthiest individuals in the world and one of the wisest investors the world has ever known.

One of the principles I guide my business by is his investment recommendation of “Opportunity Costs”.

Let me explain. Buffett makes it very clear that when you choose to invest in one project by definition you are choosing to not invest in something else that may be far more beneficial to you or your company.

Same principle applies. All these resources are being focused on what appears to be a phony pandemic that does not exist and is no real threat to the public.

What else could we do with $7 billion dollars and all the time, effort and attention that this issue has received? I won’t speculate here but you can let me know what you think in the comments section below.

Why Aren’t President Obama’s Own Children Immunized for Swine Flu?

Despite the urgency and threat of this virus, the President’s own daughters have not been rushed to the nearest clinic for a protective swine flu shot. According to a blurb on the Fox News White House blog, President Obama’s daughters have not been vaccinated against H1N1. The White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said “the vaccine is not available to them based on their risk.”

This seems odd, if you ask me. Surely the First Family would receive any and all protective measures against a deadly epidemic that is spreading like wildfire and claiming the lives of healthy children and young adults?

It also seems odd to declare a national emergency even if there were 1,000 confirmed swine flu deaths. There are so many diseases that claim so many more lives each and every year… The only difference is they don’t have a vaccine against them that they can promote that every man, woman, and child should take.

For example, hospital-acquired infections alone kill some 90,000 people annually in the US!

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), is one specific type of infection that poses a very serious public health risk. MRSA infections are getting progressively worse and actually exact a greater death toll than “modern plagues” like AIDS.

In fact, a 2007 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found there were close to 100,000 cases of invasive MRSA infections in the United States in 2005 (one of the most recent years for which data is available), which lead to more than 18,600 deaths.

Again, I have to stress the obvious that the response to the swine flu is so outrageously exaggerated it defies all logic.

However, we knew all along it could get to this, and I, along with many others, have warned you about it for months now.

BEWARE: Taking Tylenol with Flu Vaccine May Actually Make You Worse

It feels like we’re rushing head-first toward a man-made major public health catastrophe. And unfortunately, recent research shows that common medical practices may aggravate the situation.

According to a two Czechoslovakian studies, published in the journal Lancet on October 17, giving your child an analgesic to prevent fever when getting a vaccine could render them more prone to secondary infections.

Their studies showed that after vaccination, the immune response was lower among babies who were given acetaminophen (such as Tylenol), right after they received the shot.

The vaccines used in the study were for pneumococcal disease, Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib), diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B, polio and rotavirus.

No flu vaccines were included. However, it’s likely the effect would still be the same.

MSN.com quotes infectious disease expert Dr. Marc Siegel as saying that:

“… the conclusion that Tylenol not only suppresses fever, but also decreases immune response is plausible. After all, what is an immune response? It’s an inflammatory response.”

The researchers also found that although fewer infants developed a fever after getting acetaminophen, they also developed significantly fewer antibodies against the disease they were vaccinated against. They believe the acetaminophen’s anti-inflammatory activity might interfere with your body’s immune system antibody response, which could explain why the vaccine was rendered less effective.

However, what is not mentioned by either MSN, or foodconsumer.org, which also ran an article on these findings, is that a lowered immune response also means you’re more susceptible to develop other infections. And, as we now know, it is secondary infections such as bacterial staph infections that turn out to be deadly — not the flu virus in and of itself.

The First Reports of H1N1 Vaccine Deaths are Now Here

Many of us knew that this too was more or less inevitable.

Reports have now emerged from Hungarian and Swedish news sources that some people have died shortly after getting vaccinated against the H1N1 virus. The Budapest Times reported the death of a 64-year-old woman who had received the vaccine two days prior to her sudden demise.

The Hungarian H1N1 vaccine is supplied by local vaccine manufacturer Omnivest, whose vaccines are egg grown and adjuvanted with aluminum phosphate.

Meanwhile, the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that the swine flu vaccine may be “too potent,” and that four people with compromised health had died just after receiving the swine flu vaccine. One man suffered a fatal heart attack after his vaccination, and a 65-year-old woman was found dead in her home two days after receiving the H1N1 vaccine.

In addition, the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter reports:

“So far, the authority has received more than 190 reports from both health care and private individuals. By far the most common are pain in the arm. Then mild flu symptoms like fever, muscle pain, stomach pain, headaches, dizziness and fatigue.”

The article goes on to state that GlaxoSmithKline is attributing a higher than normal rate of side effects to the adjuvants in the vaccine:

“According to the vaccine manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline, maybe one in ten vaccinated will experience trouble, which is slightly more than the usual seasonal influenza vaccine. This is because a substance in the vaccine triggers immune your immune response.”

GlaxoSmithKline’s Pandemrix vaccine contains the controversial adjuvant squalene.

Unfortunately, vaccine manufacturers have persuaded countries in Europe and elsewhere to add squalene to seasonal influenza and H1N1 vaccines, whereas squalene still has not been approved by the FDA for use in the US.

In order to legally allow unlicensed squalene adjuvants to be included in licensed H1N1 vaccines, the US government would have had to issue an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). It is unclear if the EUA President Obama issued on Friday will cover adding novel adjuvants like squalene, or whether a separate EUA has to be issued in order to allow the use of unapproved adjuvants…

But European authorities may have a better clue about its safety than they’re willing to admit. A recent article in the English version of the German news source The Local, for example, warns that the German Defense Ministry has ordered a special stock of H1N1 vaccines for their troops that will contain neither mercury nor adjuvants, whereas the general public will be given vaccines containing both.

Vaccinations began throughout Europe a little over a week ago. Sweden was one of the first to begin their program on October 12.

According to the Stockhom-based European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, there have been a total of 230 deaths linked to H1N1 in Europe since April. About half of all cases occurred in the UK.

The question is, are the European CDC’s numbers as poor as the US CDC, whose statistics were shown by CBS News to be exaggerated by 80-98 percent?

Unprecedented Media Manipulation is Underway

The US government is sparing no underhanded tactics to indoctrinate the public with the message that vaccination is the way to go if you want to live.

Sid the Science Kid, an animated children’s show, is now used to “educate” children about the flu, and going to see the school nurse to get vaccinated.

“Just like Sid, government-wide efforts to prevent flu are all about the science,” says the government site Flu.gov. The episode premiered on PBS Kids on Monday, October 26th titled ” Getting a Shot: You can do it!”

Continuing Education

Folks, universal flu vaccination should be about the science backing up the safety, effectiveness and necessity of that policy, because if it was, this current travesty would not be taking place.

Please continue to educate yourself, your family and your friends about flu vaccinations and how to prevent the flu.

As always, I urge you to join the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC). They are our premier watch-dog and vaccine-safety advocates, and the NVIC web site offers invaluable guidance to help keep yourself and your family safe and healthy.

Doctors Confirm Flu Vaccination Disabled Young Woman

This formerly healthy young woman is apparently suffering a Parkinsons type reaction to the Thimerosal(ethylmercury) preservative in the flu vaccine. She might improve by ingesting tetrahydrofolate and increasing Vitamin B12 level to increase apparently impaired methylation of neuronal myelin sheath and brain white matter. SAMe, S Adenosyl Methionine, could also assist with increasing methylation of myelin, in this patient poisoned, for the profit of pharmaceutical manufacturers. Increasing bioidentical progesterone could also increase remyelination of peripheral nerves and brain white matter.

She also needs to have mercury removed from her body by Intravenous Vitamin C, with a glutathione push, or transdermal DMSA cream applied to her feet, to extract mercury as far away from her central nervous system as possible. She should also be tested for a genetic methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency, which is found in about 50 % of population. Additionally, she should have a red blood cell elemental analysis to detect mercury level. Hopefully, she will find someone to perform these treatments for her, in time to reverse damage done by the vaccine.

Instead of these dangerous vaccines, people should be taking 5,000 to 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily and an Inositol Hexaphosphate/Inositol Triphosphate formula in a three:one ratio, plus Active Hexose Correlated Compound, AHCC, to boost Natural Killer Cell Count.

Intravenous megadose vitamin C has also cured a man in Australia, who was on a ventilator and told he would be dead within a month, from the over publicized Swine Flu, H1N1.

ASHBURN, Va. — Desiree Jennings thought it would be a good idea to get the seasonal flu shot. Her job offered incentives for it, and she didn’t want to get sick.

Ten days after she got the shot at a Reston Safeway, she did get sick.

“I got flu-like symptoms — nausea, vomiting, body aches, fever — then was lethargic for a week and started blacking out,” said Jennings, an AOL employee and Washington Redskins ambassador hoping to one day be a cheerleader for the team, the Loudoun Times-Mirror reported.

Doctors couldn’t figure out why her ability to speak and walk were so adversely affected. She saw neurologists, physical therapists and psychologists.

“I was hoping for Lyme, praying for lupus, even Graves’ disease,” she said. “Unfortunately they were all ruled out.”

Finally, doctors at Johns Hopkins figured it out, diagnosing dystonia, a rare neurological condition with no cure brought on by infections, brain trauma or, as is believed in her case, reaction to medication. It causes body jerks and abnormal or repetitive movements.

“A simple conversation with two people — you and I could converse on the couch, and if the phone were to ring it would send her into a violent convulsion,” said her husband, Brendan Jennings.

Strangely enough — as she can’t walk forward five feet without stumbling — with some effort, she can perform one of her life’s passions: running. And she walks backward with ease — oddly empowering, now. After her ordeal began, “My insurance wasn’t going to pay for another hospital visit. Matter of fact, they called us as we were driving to Johns Hopkins not to offer a specialist but instead to offer a hospital bed and a wheelchair for our house. I told them I wanted to know what was happening to me and that I didn’t want to be in a wheelchair.”

Her reaction is one in a million, doctors said.

“I would’ve much rather won the lottery and bought that ticket instead of gotten the flu shot if I knew that risk existed,” she said.

Swine Flu Stats Are In: CBS Says Massive Exaggeration by CDC/Health Agencies

October 25, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Punch the Hot Shot for the Vaccine Nation Series

87 to 98% of CDC Reported Swine Flu Cases are False

Yesterday, CBS News released an exhaustive study that demonstrates a massive exaggeration of the reported number of swine flu cases in the U.S. Analysis of about 26,000 samples in four states exhibiting flu-like symptoms, 87 to 98 percent of those did not have the swine flu H1N1 virus.

Results of CBS Study on Reported Swine Flu

Watch CBS News Videos Online

I knew the swine flu statistics were overblown or misdiagnosed, but I figured by maybe 50%. This report shows as few as 1-2 percent of the reported cases are actually swine flu. Now we can say for sure this is true concerning the swine flu shots: the cure is far worse than the disease, considering the untold health effects. Not only this, but the stats reported over the past few months were totals– as if they were current: did they subtract everyone that got over the flu-like symptoms in the avearge 2-3 days? Many counties in the U.S. have zero people hospitalized for untested diagnoses of H1N1, yet are frantically rushing to stockpile and distribute the H1N1 vaccines to many points of distribution in their local areas and to educate everyone on just how bad it is out there. The Obama Administration announced a National Emergency yesterday, three days after the CBS report was made public.
