Mitochondrial Iatrogenic (medication induced) Damage – Dr. Gary Kohls, MD

American-Iatrogenic-Assoc

Dr Kohls is a retired physician who practiced holistic mental health care for the last decade of his career. Virtually all of his patients exhibited iatrogenic (prescription drug-related) syndromes such as are mentioned in the article above. In retrospect, those patients were actually manifesting iatrogenic mitochondrial diseases.

“Mitochondrial damage is now understood to play a role in a wide range of seemingly unrelated disorders such as schizophrenia, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Recently it has become known that iatrogenic (physician or treatment-caused) mitochondrial damage explains many adverse reactions from medications. All classes of psychotropic drugs have been documented to damage mitochondria, as have statin medications, analgesics such as acetaminophen, and many others.” John Neustadt, MD and Steven Pieczenik, MD

New: Vaccine patches to facilitate vaccination goals

microneedles-insertion_wide-99c432648fd9d10b47d24460ef98b9e4ba67725f-s800-c85

What if a vaccine could be delivered by simply applying a patch? That’s Mark Prausnitz’s goal: creating a nickel-sized bandage-like device covered with 100 microscopic needles that would puncture the skin, then dissolve to get the vaccine into the body.

First up for a patch trial? The measles vaccine. Putting the vaccine in a patch eliminates the need for a medical professional and a refrigerator. “It would enable us to get the vaccine to a lot more people,” says Prausnitz.  Read more…

Aluminum and the Neurotoxicity of Vaccines (studies)

Syringe-Dripping-Aluminum-Balls

“No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable…for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death.” — President Ronald Reagan, as he signed The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986, absolving drug companies from all medico-legal liability when children die or are disabled from vaccine injuries.

“In young children, a highly significant correlation exists between the number of pediatric aluminum-adjuvanted vaccines administered and the rate of autism spectrum disorders.” — C. A. Shaw, MD, Vaccine safety researcher

“…no adequate studies have been conducted to assess the safety of simultaneous administration of different vaccines to young children.” Nor has there been “ any toxicological evaluation about concomitant administration of aluminum with other known toxic compounds which are routine constituents of commercial vaccine preparations, e.g., formaldehyde, formalin, mercury, phenoxyethanol, phenol, sodium borate, polysorbate 80, glutaraldehyde.” L. Tomljenovic and C.A. Shaw, Vaccine safety researchers

Excipients (Ingredients) in each vaccine list

In the last few decades since the “mysterious” autism epidemic began in the late 1980s, the giant pharmaceutical companies, free from the constraints of medico-legal liability, began pumping out more and more highly profitable vaccines, and their lobbyists in D.C., their well-paid spokespersons and the industry-co-opted “regulatory agencies” (like WHO, the CDC, the FDA and NIH) rejoiced.

Mechanisms of Aluminum Adjuvant Toxicity and Autoimmunity in Pediatric Populations

Lupus. 2012 Feb;21(2):223-30. doi: 10.1177/0961203311430221.

Tomljenovic L, Shaw CA.

ABSTRACT EXCERPT: Abstract: Immune challenges during early development, including those vaccine-induced, can lead to permanent detrimental alterations of the brain and immune function. Experimental evidence also shows that simultaneous administration of as little as two to three immune adjuvants can overcome genetic resistance to autoimmunity. In adult humans (and animals) aluminum vaccine adjuvants have been linked to a variety of serious autoimmune and inflammatory conditions

Government (Nat. Inst. of Health) Statistics on Measles Epidemic in Vaccinated Populations

Failure to reach the goal of measles elimination. Apparent paradox of measles infections in immunized person

RESULTS:

We found 18 reports of measles outbreaks in very highly immunized school populations where 71% to 99.8% of students were immunized against measles. Despite these high rates of immunization, 30% to 100% (mean, 77%) of all measles cases in these outbreaks occurred in previously immunized students. In our hypothetical school model, after more than 95% of schoolchildren are immunized against measles, the majority of measles cases occur in appropriately immunized children.

FDA: Despite Vaccine, Pertussis (Whooping Cough) Spreads

loveunveiledvaccinewho

ATLANTA – A government study offers a new theory on why the whooping cough vaccine doesn’t seem to be working as well as expected.

The research suggests that while the vaccine may keep people from getting sick, it doesn’t prevent them from spreading whooping cough – also known as pertussis – to others.

“It could explain the increase in pertussis that we’re seeing in the U.S.,” said one of the researchers, Tod Merkel of the Food and Drug Administration.  Read more…
