European scientists and health authorities are facing angry questions about why H1N1 flu has not caused death and destruction on the scale first feared, and they need to respond deftly to ensure public support. 

Accusations are flying in British and French media that the pandemic has been "hyped" by medical researchers to further their own cause, boost research grants and line the pockets of drug companies. 

Britain's Independent newspaper this week asked "Pandemic? What Pandemic?" 

France's Le Parisien newspaper ran the headline: "Swine flu: why the French distrust the vaccine" and noted a gap between the predicted impact of H1N1 and the less dramatic reality. 

"Although some 30-odd people have died....the disease is not really frightening," it said. "Dangerous liaisons between certain experts, the labs and the government, the obscurity of the contracts between the state and the pharma firms have added to the doubt." 

In response, scientists are walking a fine line. They say that although the virus is mild, it can still kill, and that the relatively low fatalities in Europe are in part, the result of official response to their advice. 

However, in Britain, health authorities' original worst-case scenario -- which said as many as 65,000 could die from H1N1 -- has twice been revised down and the prediction is now for around 1,000 deaths, way below the average annual toll of 4,000 to 8,000 deaths from seasonal winter flu.

"It is a serious thing [vaccine] that has the potential to kill" according to Dr. Neil Rau, an infectious disease expert, in a CTV interview, but do not worry: "leading experts insist, the benefits of the H1N1 vaccine vastly outweigh the risks" (Swine Flu Support Centre,emphasis added) 

A new development in the H1N1 Vaccine Saga is unfolding in Canada. 

Whereas health officials are pushing for an acceleration of the vaccination program, there is evidence of so-called "unusual adverse reactions" including three recently recorded deaths directly resulting from the vaccine.


In the meantime, health authorities have called for the withdrawal of 170,000 (higher risk) doses of the vaccine produced by GlaxoSmithKline. The initiative, of which the importance is being downplayed, is said to have come from the manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline, which expressed concern on higher than normal adverse reactions to the vaccine.

"Canada's H1N1 flu vaccine manufacturer has asked the provinces to temporarily discontinue vaccinating Canadians from a lot of vaccine shipped in October due to a higher risk of adverse reactions, says a Manitoba health official.

Dr. Joel Kettner, Manitoba's chief public health officer, said Thursday that GlaxoSmithKline has asked that the October batch be taken out of circulation because it produced serious and immediate anaphylactic reactions in one out of 20,000 vaccinations, compared with one out of 100,000 in other shipments.

"We've been asked by the manufacturer GSK to not use this vaccine at this time pending further investigation," he said. (Winnipeg Free Press, 20 November 2009)

The government is involved in a cover-up. The initial headlines stated "more than 100,000 doses", but then read on, the number is 170,000 doses.

The CTV report admits that "it is a serious thing, it has the potential to kill".

Too Late to Withdraw the 170,000 Defective Doses The question is whether the doses can be withdrawn or whether they have already been used. The first news reports from Manitoba indicate that: Of the 63,000 doses shipped [to Manitoba], only 630 remained unused by the four regional health authorities in Manitoba that received them. (Ibid)

This report would suggest that the risky GSK vaccine doses have already been used.

A subsequent report confirms that out of the 63,000 doses, 900 unused doses of the H1N1 were withdrawn by health authorities "after health authorities received word other vaccines from the same batch have been causing higher rates of allergic reactions than expected." (Flu vaccine batch pulled in Manitoba, Winnipeg Sun, 20 November 2009).

The question is what happened to remaining 62,100 doses of the higher risk vaccine batch, which were used to vaccinate people in Manitoba?

Has there been a follow-up regarding those people in Manitoba who received the higher risk H1N1 vaccine injection.

Manitoba Health authorities casually confirm, in this regard, that "most of the vaccine Manitoba received from the suspect lot had already been used by the time the province received the alert on Wednesday" [November 18, 2009]. (Winnipeg Free Press, 20 November 2009, emphasis added) 

Manitoba and Quebec: Three deaths resulting from the H1N1 Vaccine 

The news reports have highlighted deaths allegedly resulting from the H1N1 flu, while obfuscating several recorded deaths resulting directly from the vaccine. These vaccine related deaths are occurring at the very outset of the vaccination program,.

According to CTV News, 20 November 2009) "The province is currently investigating two deaths -- both adults who died within seven days of getting the H1N1 shot" (Family questions if H1N1 shot caused Manitoba woman's death, November 20, 2009, emphasis added).

Manitoba officials acknowledge 69 "adverse events" after people received the swine flu shot, including the two deaths. (CBC.ca report,17 November 2009)

However, unless the families speak out, the authorities will not provide details. CTV interviewed the family of one of the victims. No details on the other death in Manitoba are available:

"The family of a 38-year-old Manitoba woman who died five days after receiving the H1N1 vaccine are looking for answers as to why it happened.

Soo Lee Wong and her daughter, Angela Truong, both got the H1N1 shot on November 5th.
The family says Wong, who had diabetes, started getting sick a day after getting vaccinated and died a few days later.

Doctors told the family Wong died of a blood infection. More tests will be done to see if the vaccine played any role.

Wong's husband, Thoon Truong, is also caring for his seven-year-old daughter Angela, who has been in the hospital with a fever and swollen, painful legs. He wants to know whether the two cases related to the vaccine or to something else.

The province is currently investigating two deaths -- both adults who died within seven days of getting the H1N1 shot.

Although it's still early, Manitoba's chief medical officer of health Dr. Joel Kettner says immunizations were not likely the cause of the deaths. CTV News | Family questions if H1N1 shot caused Manitoba woman's death, November 20, 2009)

It should be noted that these two deaths in Manitoba may have been associated with the injection of the higher risk H1N1 vaccine doses, which health authorities had called for withdrawal. 

Quebec: One Death 

An 80-year-old Quebec man was reported dead after taking the H1N1 Swine Flu vaccination. Health officials have dismissed the case,"stating that it's too soon to link the death and vaccine." Quebec man dies after taking H1N1 vaccine, Digital Journal, 18 November 2009). 

The Quebec health authorities have refused to provide details: 

"Quebec's Director of Public Health Protection, Dr. Horacio Arruda,did not know why the man took the vaccine and that final test results,which are expected to come in December, will determine whether or not the man died from the vaccine. Canada.com reports the man died in the last three weeks but provincial officials declined to reveal details, citing confidentiality concerns. Arruda has said that most allergic reactions occur right away, which is the reason why many patients are asked to stay in the centres, “We can't say there is a causal association between the death and the flu shot.”

Nevertheless, Arruda is confident that the death will not discourage people from taking the vaccine but urged that serious reactions to the H1N1 shot are rare, “I understand that everyone is worried.”" (Quebec man dies after taking H1N1 vaccine, Digital Journal, 18 November 2009)

The statements by senior health officials are notoriously ambiguous: while they concur that: "there is no evidence the vaccine is dangerous.", they nonetheless acknowledge the deaths resulting from the vaccine (Statement of Quebec's Director of Public Health Protection, Dr. Horacio Arruda, (The Canadian Press: Quebec health officials investigating possible death from H1N1 vaccine. November 18,2009).

GlaxoSmithKline’s Pandemrix swine flu jab caused damage to pregnant rats in pretrial studies, but governments are concealing this fact from people.

GlaxoSmithKlein saw increased rates of loss of pregnancies and malformations in offspring of PandemRix “mock-up” vaccinated offspring, but surprisingly documents of EMEA and WHO do not mention these disturbing abnormalities remarks Dr Eric Beeth.

Dr Beeth joined a citizen’s initiative taking the government to court to protect his profession of General Practitioners from unknowingly participating in an illegal experimentation on pregnant women, and practising the experimental vaccination without an informed consent form.


The dangers of this type of government protected experimentation is especially transparent when it comes to pregnant women, where no data, except the NOT very reassuring reproductive toxicity pre-clinical trials on rats existed before the experimental vaccine was tried out on a massive scale on pregnant women: those whom we must protect the most from all types of known and unknown drugs/pharmaceutical products.

Four pregnant women in Belgian are currently engaged in a legal action to obtain NON-EXPERIMENTAL, standard procedure H1N1 flu shots, without adjuvants, and preferably no thiomersal either.

In his article on www.mondialisation.ca , Dr Beeth quotes a paragraph in English from a study showing that offspring from pregnant rats that were given Pandemrix had an increased incidence of foetal malformations: the quote is taken from page 18 of this GSK patient information PDF in Canada: 


In a report in French, Beeth quotes a paragraph from a study showing that rats who were given Pandemrix had an increased incidence of fetal malformations.

There have been no clinical trials on pregnant women.

Pharmaceutical companies such as GSK might be expected to carry out these trials if there is evidence of such fetal malformations in rats. Their failure to do so suggests a deliberate attempt to manipulate clinical trials data to get an dangerous drug through to cause damage to pregnant women.

Four pregnant women in Belgian are planning legal action against the government for recommending the dangerous Pandemrix to pregnant women without adequate data. 

This is an extra from the report in French 

“Two reproductive studies were conducted with ASO3-adjuvanted H5N1 antigen and evaluated the effect on embryo-fetal and peri-and post-natal development in rats, following intramuscular administration. Although no definite conclusion could be reached, regarding a possible relation to treatment with the H5N1 vaccine and/or the adjuvant ASO3, and other findings were considered normal, the following observations deserve to be mentioned:

In the first study, there was an increased incidence of fetal malformations with markedly medially thickened kinked ribs and bent scapula as well as an increased incidence of dilated ureter and delayed neuro-behavioural maturation.

In the second study, there was an increased incidence of post-implantation loss, and the fetal variation of dilated ureter. Not all findings were observed in both studies, and hence the toxicological significance is uncertain.”

Parents of under-fives are to be sent letters inviting them to vaccinate their children against swine flu. The vaccine is voluntary so far, but in France it is to be given to all schoolchildren.
Before you make up your mind what to do, it is worth taking a look at a film on the internet - a fascinating discussion on the so-called pandemic.

Normal European seasonal flu causes up to 40,000 deaths from 'Secondary Consequences'.
Up to the middle of this month there had been just 414 deaths from H1N1 across the continent.


Yet because the World Health Organisation has declared a pandemic, big pharmaceutical companies may be able to ask for immunity from prosecution and/or paying compensation in cases where vaccine causes severe side effects.

Don't be bullied into doing what you feel is wrong for your kids.

“The two-month-old girl who lives in Minde is one of 60 Norwegian children aged 8 to 12 weeks that will now get the vaccine. It is also planned that 14 other bergen babies will be part of the experiment.

Vaccine experts want to map both the efficacy and side effects of the vaccine so that even the smallest can be included in massvaccination programme. Research Post on Children Clinic at Haukeland University Hospital has been given responsibility for conducting testing.


Stab in the Thigh 
No babies like to be vaccinated. So it is with Lykke Larimar Wiencke-Lygre. Although she is too young to understand, screaming she already iltert before intensive care nurse Hildur Grindheim put the syringe in his thigh.

Her parents, Hilda Beate Lygre and Fredrik Wiencke, follows both the daughter of vaccination on Children Clinic.

They say that the advance was little doubt they would say yes to their little girl would be to test. But after talking with both health nurse, who follows up Good luck, and the doctor, they said yes.

- We found that Succeed risk of becoming ill from the vaccine is less than the risk that she will get the flu, says her mother.

Feel Safe
The parents also think it is reassuring to ensure close follow-up that comes with testing.

Even before Lykke was vaccinated yesterday, she had to take several blood tests including checking that she was well at the first injection spot.

Until she is 11 months, she will regularly be followed up by staff at the Children’s Clinic. In four months, she returned to Children’s Clinic to take new vaccine dose. New blood tests have also to measure the effect of the vaccine.

Home has Good Lykkes brother Carl August in six years. He is an active first grader at Memorial School. He’s already been vaccinated because he is at risk.

- We have also received the vaccine. Therefore, it is nice that the little sister has been given the opportunity to be protected against the infection already, “says the parents.

The family also love to travel. The first road trip of Lykke is the United States in February.

- We would at least like her to be vaccinated before we left. But she would not become old enough to fill the public the criteria to be vaccinated before departure date. But now we know that she most likely will be immune when we go on a long voyage. We think the vaccine is a good insurance against infection, “says Lygre and Wiencke."

Pioneer Program
At Haukeland is professor and senior physician Ansgar Berg and his colleagues at the research record for children at Children’s Clinic proud that they have the professional responsibility to conduct this important study. Rikshospitalet University Hospital is also involved in the survey. And in addition to the tiny babies who are vaccinated in Bergen and Oslo, to toddlers from Lier and Hønefoss be with. 

Berg explains that regular vaccination procedures should be followed in the study approved by the Norwegian health authorities. The smallest of half the vaccine dose, twice. 

Best practices
Berg is not surprised that Norway has been chosen to test the vaccine in this age group.

- In this country we have very good procedures for vaccination of children, “he says

Although the study includes only 60 children, experts believe that the scale is sufficient to test both the efficacy and side effects. Thus, even the smallest part in the mass vaccination if necessary, “he says.”

Vitamin D is a Key Player in Your Overall Health

Posted by ObeMike Wednesday, November 18, 2009 0 comments

Vitamin D, once linked to only bone diseases such as rickets and osteoporosis, is now recognized as a major player in overall human health.

In a paper published in the August issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Anthony Norman, an international expert on vitamin D, identifies vitamin D's potential for contributions to good health in the adaptive and innate immune systems, the secretion and regulation of insulin by the pancreas, the heart and blood pressure regulation, muscle strength and brain activity.


Access to adequate amounts of vitamin D is also believed to be beneficial towards reducing the risk of cancer.

Norman also lists 36 organ tissues in the body whose cells respond biologically to vitamin D, including bone marrow, breast, colon, intestine, kidney, lung, prostate, retina, skin, stomach and uterine tissues.

According to Norman, deficiency of vitamin D can impact all 36 organs. Already, vitamin D deficiency is associated with muscle strength decrease, high risk for falls, and increased risk for colorectal, prostate and breast and other major cancers.

An unrelated study also suggests that low vitamin D is associated with Parkinson’s disease. The majority (55 percent) of Parkinson's disease patients in the study had insufficient levels of vitamin D.

Meanwhile, the American Academy of Paediatrics has doubled its recommendation for a daily dose of vitamin D in children, in the hopes of preventing rickets and promoting other health benefits.

The new guidelines now call for children to receive 400 international units (IU) of vitamin D per day, beginning in the first few days of life.

“ … Evidence has shown this could have life-long health benefits," said Dr. Frank Greer of the American Academy of Paediatrics.

It’s a tragedy that dermatologists and sunscreen manufacturers have done such a thorough job of scaring people out of the sun. Their widely dispersed message to avoid the sun as much as possible, combined with an overall cultural trend of spending more time indoors during work and leisure time, has greatly contributed to the widespread vitamin D deficiency that’s seen today.

There are only 30,000 genes in your body and vitamin D has been shown to influence over 2,000 of them. That is one of the primary reasons it influences so many diseases (as seen in the table below). 


Vitamin D really isn’t a vitamin at all but a potent neuro-regulatory steroidal hormone. It has become very clear that vitamin D deficiency is a growing epidemic across the world and is contributing to many chronic debilitating diseases.

In the United States, the late winter average vitamin D is only about 15-18 ng/ml, which is considered a very serious deficiency state. Meanwhile, it’s thought that over 95 percent of U.S. senior citizens may be deficient, along with 85 percent of the American public.

Further:

  • Vitamin D deficiency is epidemic in adults of all ages who have increased skin pigmentation, such as those whose ancestors are from Africa, the Middle East, or India, who always wear sun protection, or who limit their outdoor activities.
  • African Americans and other dark-skinned people and those living in northern latitudes make significantly less vitamin D than other groups.
  • 60 percent of people with type 2 diabetes have vitamin D deficiency.
  • Studies showed very low levels of vitamin D among children, the elderly, and women.
  • One U.S. study of women revealed that almost half of African American women of childbearing age might be vitamin-D deficient.
Vitamin D and Cancer

Given that cancer, heart disease and diabetes are three of the top causes of death in the United States, ensuring that you are getting enough of this crucial vitamin should be a top priority.

A study by Dr. William Grant, Ph.D., internationally recognized research scientist and vitamin D expert, found that about 30 percent of cancer deaths -- which amounts to 2 million worldwide and 200,000 in the United States -- could be prevented each year with higher levels of vitamin D.

Vitamin D has a protective effect against cancer in several ways, including:
  • Increasing the self-destruction of mutated cells (which, if allowed to replicate, could lead to cancer)
  • Reducing the spread and reproduction of cancer cells
  • Causing cells to become differentiated (cancer cells often lack differentiation)
  • Reducing the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, which is a step in the transition of dormant tumors turning cancerous
Beyond cancer, the researchers pointed out that increasing levels of vitamin D3 could prevent diseases that claim nearly 1 million lives throughout the world each year! And other studies showed that you can decrease your risk of cancer by MORE THAN HALF simply by optimizing your vitamin D levels with sun exposure.

Worried About Getting the Flu? Optimize Your Vitamin D 
 
As we enter into flu season in the United States, you should know that your vitamin D levels play a direct role in your risk of getting the flu. 
 
At least five studies show an inverse association between lower respiratory tract infections and 25(OH)D levels.  That is, the higher your vitamin D level, the lower your risk of contracting colds, flu, and other respiratory tract infections: 
 
1. A 2007 study suggests higher vitamin D status enhances your immunity to microbial infections. They found that subjects with vitamin D deficiency had significantly more days of absence from work due to respiratory infection than did control subjects. 
 
2. A 2009 study on vitamin D deficiency in newborns with acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) confirmed a strong, positive correlation between newborns’ and mother’s vitamin D levels. Over 87 percent of all newborns and over 67 percent of all mothers had vitamin D levels lower than20 ng/ml, which is a severe deficiency state. 
 
Newborns with vitamin D deficiency appear to have an increased risk of developing ALRI, and since the child’s vitamin D level strongly correlates with its mother’s, the researchers recommend that all mothers’ optimize their vitamin D levels during pregnancy, especially in the winter months, to safeguard their baby’s health. 
 
3. A similar Indian study published in 2004 also reported that vitamin D deficiency in infants significantly raised their odds ratio for having severe ALRI. 
 
4. A 2009 analysis of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey examined the association between vitamin D levels and recent upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) in nearly 19,000 subjects over the age of 12. 
 
Recent URTI was reported by:

·17 percent of participants with vitamin D levels of 30ng/ml or higher

·20 percent of participants with vitamin D levels between 10-30 ng/ml.

·24 percent of participants with vitamin D levels below 10ng/ml 
 
The positive correlation between lower vitamin D levels and increased risk of URTI was even stronger in individuals with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 
 
5. Another 2009 report in the journal Paediatric Research stated that infants and children appear more susceptible to viral rather than bacterial infections when deficient in vitamin D. And that, based on the available evidence showing a strong connection between vitamin D, infections,and immune function in children, vitamin D supplementation may be a valuable therapy in paediatric medicine.
 
Vitamin D levels in your blood fall to their lowest point during flu seasons. If you have low vitamin D, you will not be protected by your body’s own antibiotics (antimicrobial peptides), which are released by vitamin D. This means that a person with a low vitamin D level is more vulnerable to contracting colds, influenza, and other respiratory infections. 
 
Unfortunately, conventional medicine’s answer to preventing the flu is the flu shot. What they don’t tell you is that flu shots don’t work. 
 
A recent study published in the October issue of the Archives of Paediatric & Adolescent Medicine found that vaccinating young children against the flu appeared to have no impact on flu-related hospitalizations or doctor visits during two recent flu seasons. And no studies have conclusively proven that flu shots prevent flu-related deaths among the elderly, yet this is one of the key groups to which they’re pushed. 
 
Aside from not working, flu shots contain dangerous additives, like mercury-containing thimerosal, formaldehyde, aluminium, phenol and detergents. The idea that nearly every man, woman and child in the United States should voluntarily line up to be injected with this concoction, as the CDC strongly recommends, is illogical, pointless and dangerous. 
 
What can you do instead to safely prevent, and even treat, the flu? 
 
As I reviewed in this video last month, getting enough vitamin D will nearly eliminate your risk of getting the flu. 
 
But don’t listen to the RDAs spouted by the public health agencies. They are not nearly enough to keep you healthy. In order to prevent the flu, children need 2,000 IU a day of vitamin D, while adults need 5,000 IU to 10,000 IU. 
 
So even though the American Academy of Paediatrics just announced that they’re doubling the RDA of vitamin D for children to 400 IU, their new guidance still falls absurdly short of what’s needed to keep kids healthy. 
 
If you do come down with a case of the flu this year, vitamin D can also help to eliminate the illness. The dose of vitamin D is 2,000 IU per kilogram of body weight, taken as one dose, every day for three days. If you start this program early on in the illness, it should be able to completely wipe out the flu.
 
The Best Source of Vitamin D, and What Level You Need to Stay Healthy

Exposing your skin to sunlight is the best way to get vitamin D.

Sun exposure (without sunscreen) of about 10 to 15 minutes a day, with at least 40 percent of your skin exposed, is a general guide of how much you need, although people with dark skin will need to stay out significantly longer. Please read this past article for a list of safe tanning guidelines.

If you’re able to get out in the sun for an adequate time period each day, your vitamin D levels should be naturally optimized.

However  most of us struggle with seasonal vitamin D winters in which we  may not be able to get enough sun exposure during certain parts of the year. In that case, I also advise using a safe tanning bed (one that has the harmful emissions shielded) to have your own body produce vitamin D naturally.

A third option is taking a high-quality vitamin D supplement. The most important thing to keep in mind if you opt for oral supplementation is that you only want to supplement with natural vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which is human vitamin D. Do NOT use the synthetic and highly inferior vitamin D2.

How do you know if you’re getting the right amount of vitamin D?

You need to have your blood levels tested, but not just any test -- or any lab -- will do.

I’ve discussed exactly what you need to know to get the right vitamin D test, with accurate results, here. The  OPTIMAL level of vitamin D you’re looking for is 50-65 ng/ml.

Though it may seem like a hassle to go out and get a blood test done, then continue to have your vitamin D monitored as you increase your sun exposure or supplementation, I can confidently say that it is one of the most important things you can do for your health.
