BURLINGTON VT - The Fluoride Action Network (FAN) has urged that a Harvard Professor be removed from a research group studying the association between fluoride and osteosarcoma because his objectivity and ethics are disputed and he has ties to a company that profits from fluoride.

Found it interesting while we were in Australia (which has socialized medicine ie: the government, via their citizens taxes, has to pay for medical) that they removed flouride from their water as they found it to be harmful at worst and useless at best. Same with Canada - who also has socialized medicine. Hum? When it cost the government they took it out. Perhaps people here are making too much off the whole flouride system to take it out.

Power plants in the U.S. collectively emitted more than 90,000 pounds of mercury into the air in 2003.

 

“The administration’s mercury rule recklessly exposes another generation of children to high levels of mercury pollution,” said U.S. PIRG Clean Air Advocate Supryia Ray. “We commend Senators Leahy, Collins, Snowe, and Jeffords for taking action to reduce mercury pollution in this decade, instead of decades from now.”

The University of Texas came out with the results of a study last spring and it found that the closer a neighborhood was to a coal burning power plant the more kids in that neighborhood was labed as needing special education services. They also found higher levels of mercury in the soil in the neighborhoods that were closer to the power plants. Did not get any real play in the major media.

This action - aimed at pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline - represents one of the few times in history where a group of concerned citizens will come together in a high profile manner to warn the public about a dangerous and defective drug, and to protest the egregious conduct of its manufacturer and distributors.

The FDA Exposed: An Interview With Dr. David Graham, the Vioxx Whistleblower

 

When my former Pediatric Neurologist asked me if I thought they were trying to cover up a cure for tics using vitamins, I really didn't feel that way, I was only frustrated that it appeared to work so well and all I was getting was resistance and insulted, instead of guidance. Now, let's just say, I'm reconsidering.

 

If these are the people that we have to look to for PROVEN treatments, I'll take anecidotal anyday. Anyway, are we supposed to believe the Dr.s who oppose these alternative treatments, or our own eyes?

ACTION ALERT!!!!!!!!!

THIMEROSAL LEGISLATION (S2801) HAS BEEN INTRODUCED IN THE STATE OF

NEW JERSEY!!!!! CO-SPONSORS NEEDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Senator Ciesla of the 10th Legislative District has introduced S2801

in the NJ State Senate. S2801 provides for a ban of the use of the

preservative thimerosal, a 50% ethylmercury based preservative by

weight, here in the State of New Jersey. This legislation, as

introduced, is the most aggressive legislation so far in the US as

it provides for a total phasing out of the use of the preservative

in all vaccines, including the flu vaccine, for children and adults

in NJ by 2009. Under the legislation, the administration of

vaccines containing mercury would be phased out as follows:

• Beginning January 1, 2007, health care providers would

be

prohibited from administering influenza vaccines containing more

than 0.5 micrograms of mercury per 0.25 milliliter dose to a child

under three years of age or 1.0 microgram of mercury per 0.5

milliliter dose to a person over three years of age, and any other

vaccine that contains more than a trace amount of mercury;

• Beginning January 1, 2008, health care providers would

be

prohibited from administering to any person a vaccine that contains

more than a trace amount of mercury;

• Beginning January 1, 2009 health care providers would be

prohibited from administering to any person a vaccine that contains

any amount of mercury.

Assemblymen Wolfe and Holpfzapel are planning on introducing

corresponding legislation in the Assembly when they re-convene later

this Fall.

Please contact your State Senators and ask them to co-sponsor

S2801. Also, please contact your Assemblymen and ask them to

support the Assembly version of S2801 once it is introduced.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 - The government is investigating five reports of

teenagers who came down with a serious neurological disorder after

receiving a new vaccine against meningitis.

Doctors don't yet know whether the cases of Guillain Barre

syndrome are related to the shot, called Menactra, or are coincidence,

the Food and Drug Administration emphasized Friday.

Stop Medicating your ADHD child

Excerpt:

Excitotoxins cause nerve cells to be hyper, damaged, or they may even kill brain cells. Although often called MSG or glutamate, dozens of food additives have these toxins.

 

And those additives have stealth names that hide their toxicity, such as aspartame, flavoring, hydrolyzed protein, broth, and soy protein isolate.

 

In practice, that means avoiding the majority of grocery items such as box mixes, prepared soups, flavored chips, and canned tuna.

 

But healthy choices, such as canned tuna that has only tuna and water, or another that has the ingredients tuna, olive oil, and salt.

 

"ADHD kids, in particular, when they're exposed to monosodium glutamate or one of the excitotoxins in food, it really throws them out of kilter -- they become excessively hyperactive," Blaylock explained.

 

A related no-no for the ADHD brain is sugar. Sugar, strangely enough, can actually bring on abnormally low sugar levels in the blood. And that increases glutamate release in the brain, yet another excitotoxic cause of hyperactivity.

 

*****This article contains some good information, but I have to question the wisdom of the canned tuna statement. I don't think the author of this article is up on the mercury issues. Talk about a NEUROTOXIN. Kim

Excerpts:

He received his vaccines on schedule. He was a model of

excellent health, rarely sick, always energetic. He ate everything

put in front of him—he loved food. He also began to speak words,

 

For the next three years, the items in his diet could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Despite the collapse of his diet, he continued to grow. Today, Fridrik is a five-year-old boy in the body of a seven-year-old.

 

Our view changed one fateful day on a connecting flight in Charlotte, North Carolina. The flight was delayed due to engine trouble. Fridrik leapt out of his seat, exhibiting the motor tics that have plagued him.

Gluten Ataxia and Post-Streptococcal Central Nervous System

Syndromes: Emerging Immune-mediated Disorders of the Central Nervous

System?

 

Wills A, Dale R, Giovannoni G.

 

Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, London WC1 3BG, United Kingdom.

G.Giovannoni@ion.ucl.ac.uk.

 

There is an "emerging concept" that central nervous system

dysfunction can be caused by an aberrant immune response triggered by

exogenous antigens such as the food allergen gluten or streptococcal

infection. The hypothesis of a gluten sensitive ataxia remains

unproven, but is worthy of consideration. The data in support of this

hypothesis require critical review before any treatment

recommendations can be formulated. The idea that anti-gliadin

antibody seropositivity per se justifies the term "gluten

sensitivity" is important because it offers potential therapeutic

possibilities, including simple exclusion diets, for patients with

anti-gliadin antibody-associated ataxia. Post-streptococcal basal

ganglia dysfunction has various manifestations, all of which fall

into a relatively well-defined symptom complex or syndrome. Anti-

basal ganglia antibodies that are associated with serologic evidence

of recent streptococcal infection are a potential diagnostic marker

for this group of disorders, which includes Sydenham's chorea (SC) as

the prototype. More recently subjects with pediatric autoimmune

neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infection,

Tourette's syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other movement

disorders have been described in association with anti-basal ganglia

antibodies. The apparent overlap between the clinical phenotype of

SC, pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with

streptococcal infections, Tourette's syndrome, and obsessive-

compulsive disorder suggests that they may represent one disease

entity. The current working hypothesis is that antibodies induced in

response to streptococcal infection cross-react with antigenic

determinants in the basal ganglia resulting in basal ganglia

dysfunction. Although the experimental evidence is incomplete, there

is sufficient evidence to support immune-mediated basal ganglia

dysfunction as an emerging clinical entity. This has important

implications for the diagnosis and treatment of subjects with these

disorders. The latter includes the judicious use of antibiotic

prophylaxis and immunomodulatory therapies. Apart from the diagnosis

and management of SC, no consensus exists regarding the diagnosis and

management of the other clinical entities within this group of

disorders.
