Flu Shots and Alzheimer's


Many people have asked me to reprint the flu shot information. Here 
it is from our Oct 2000 newsletter: "According to Hugh Fudenberg, 
MD, the world's leading immunogeneticist and 13th most quoted 
biologist of our times (nearly 850 papers in peer review journals), if 
an individual has 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 one, two or no shots. (1) 
I asked Dr. Fudenberg why this was so and he said it was due to the 
mercury that is in every flu shot (and many childhood shots). The 
gradual mercury buildup in the brain causes cognitive dysfunction. Is 
that why Alzheimer's is expected to quadruple? (2) "

News Flash: Andrew Wakefield, MD who has been researching the 
connections between the MMR shot and autism has just announced 
that he has been asked to resign from his position at the Royal Free 
Hospital in London because his research results had been "unpopular" 
with the medical community. He left his £50,000-a-year job after 
14 years, having been told that his ideas were "unwelcome."

By coincidence the Dec 2nd Sunday Express [UK] reported on the 
largest study to date showing a causal link between the MMR 
(measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine and the development of autism 
in children. Dr. Vijendra Singh, lead researcher, studied 200 autistic 
children, 50 with other brain disorders and 100 'normal' children. He 
found that nine out of 10 of the autistic children had experienced a 
reaction to the MMR.

Dr. Singh said, "It suggests MMR is not safe in certain children 
whose immune systems are not able to cope with the three vaccines 
and this is causing autism.

More than 2000 families in the UK are currently involved in a 
class-action lawsuit against the Department of Health due to 
adverse reactions from the MMR vaccinations which include 
convulsions, autism, arthritis, intestinal and other problems.
