<p><strong>February 8, 2012<br />
By Teresa Conrick</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-15245" style="10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Leroy" src="http://holyhormones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Leroy1-221x300.jpg" alt="" width="221" height="300" />I have been following all of the news and <a href="http://www.ageofautism.com/2012/01/leroy-ny-girls-with-neurological-tics-science-offers-reasons-when-government-officials-wont.html" target="_blank">reports</a> on the teens and now <a href="http://www.ageofautism.com/2012/02/tics-and-toxins-similar-case-in-county-near-leroy-may-point-to-environment.html" target="_blank">two adults</a> who have developed sudden onset tics and Tourette-like symptoms in upper NY.  It is an unanswered medical phenomenon still and one that is devastating.  One thing that seems certain &#8212; the issue of Conversion Disorder vs Immune Disorder needs a further analysis.  A <a href="http://www.whec.com/whecimages/repository/cs/files/Investigation_letter.pdf" target="_blank">report titled</a>, &#8220;Investigation of Neurologic Symptoms among Le Roy Jr/Sr High School Students, October 2011 – January 2012&#8243;  has been made available for viewing and some interesting pieces of information seem worthy of our attention:</p>
<p><em>All cases were female. Three of the 12 cases were identified as having pre-existing medical conditions associated with tic disorders. Two of the three cases, who were tic free for a period of time, experienced an exacerbation of tic symptoms during this time period. The third case was identified as having a previous diagnosis of Tourette’s disorder and did not have a new onset of tic symptoms, but rather an acceleration of on-going tics during this time period. Onsets of tic symptoms ranged from May 2011 to December 2011 for the nine new onsets</em>.</p>
<p>My good and learned friends here at Age of Autism, Mark Blaxill and Dan Olmsted, have been writing about LeRoy and some of the intriguing (<a href="http://www.ageofautism.com/2012/01/tics-and-toxins-leroy-school-site-has-history-of-health-water-building-woes.html" target="_blank">AofA Tics and Toxins A History of Building Woes</a>) and significant environmental factors that may be at play. (<a href="http://www.ageofautism.com/2012/02/tics-and-toxins-leroy-put-student-playing-fields-on-fema-flood-hazard-land.html" target="_blank">AofA Tics and Toxins Playing Fields on FEMA Flood Hazard</a>)  Kevin Barry, an avid Age of Autism reader and researcher,  also included some historical, <a href="http://www.ageofautism.com/2012/01/open-letter-to-the-town-of-leroy-ny-learn-lessons-from-the-autism-epidemic.html" target="_blank">pertinent pieces</a> as to what could be making some of the teens so ill.  Having my own daughter with similar issues of sudden onset motor and vocal tics, seizures and a history of repeated Strep infections, parasites, and lengthy viral illnesses has made the search for the source of this mystery all the more important to me.</p>
<p>Since Dan, Mark and Kevin all mentioned WATER as an important variable as to what was different in the LeRoy area this past Spring, I agree and also wondered if that played into another source of illness &#8212; STREP.  PANDAS/PANS -  Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome has been denied and dismissed quickly by many of the NY investigators and medical personnel.  Doctor Rosario Trifiletti, who specializes in PANS, visited Le Roy to take blood and tissue samples from some of the affected teen girls, so he could test for PANS. The results are pending.  A very thorough article from<em> Scientific <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=could-infection-cause-tourettes-like-symptoms-teenage-girls" target="_blank">Scientific American</a> &#8211; &#8220;</em>Could an Infection Cause Tourette&#8217;s-Like Symptoms in Teenage Girls?&#8221;   echoes that possibility:</p>
<p>&#8220;PANS is a new name for an old idea: that infections by bacteria, viruses or parasites can cause the sudden onset of neuropsychiatric ailments such as Tourette&#8217;s and obsessive-compulsive disorder OCD.  (Tic disorders like Tourette&#8217;s are closely related to OCD, sharing many symptoms and often coexisting in patients.  PANS is more commonly known by its former name, PANDAS—pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infection—because the first known cases were in kids who had strep throat and then suddenly developed OCD. But researchers have realized in recent years that a variety of infectious agents—not just strep—can cause mental illness&#8230;.. OCD expert, Michael Jenike, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, explains what PANS is and why it might account for the mysterious illness in Le Roy&#8230;&#8230;<em>It&#8217;s the sudden onset of a neuropsychiatric disorder: OCD, anorexia or psychosis, cognitive problems. Initially, PANDAS was associated with strep. It turns out that other infections like mycoplasma, certain viruses, Lyme disease—these also produce the same thing. So it&#8217;s not necessarily associated with strep, and they changed the name to reflect that. Now it&#8217;s any sudden-onset neuropsychiatric disease.</em></p>

<p><strong>Girls as young as 13 will be pressed to have contraceptive jabs under Government plans to &#8220;urgently&#8221; bring down teenage pregnancy rates.</strong></p>
<div>
<p><strong>By Julie Henry, Education Correspondent</strong><br />
<strong>8:12PM GMT 15 Nov 2008</strong></p>
<div>
<p>Ministers have ordered council and health chief executives to increase the uptake of &#8220;long-acting&#8221; contraception in teen pregnancy &#8220;hot spots&#8221;.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The government also wants more school-based clinics to administer the jabs, which can make girls infertile for up to three months.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Teenagers can receive the injections or implants without their parents&#8217; knowledge.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Critics warn that the controversial move will promote promiscuity and that injections and implants will not protect against the rampant spread of sexually transmitted disease. Some health experts also say that the drugs are unsuitable for girls who are still growing.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>In letters demanding &#8220;urgent action to accelerate progress to the 2010 [teenage pregnancy] target&#8221;, health and education ministers tell the heads of councils and primary care trusts to establish more &#8220;school-based contraception clinics&#8221; and bring about &#8220;an overall increase in the uptake of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC)&#8221;.</p>
<p>The documents, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, show that 21 local authorities where teenage pregnancy rates have stagnated or risen have been singled out and told to push the injections and implants.</p>
<p>The letter to Stoke-on-Trent says: &#8220;A key priority over the next six months is the roll-out of school based services and further development of young people&#8217;s sexual health services. This needs to include, as a priority, the provision of long-acting contraception to ensure all young people have the choice of effective contraception.&#8221;</p>
<p>Stockton-on-Tees is told: &#8220;It is essential to use additional contraception funding to improve the provision and uptake of LARC.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tameside is asked to ensure that jabs and implants are &#8220;targeted at areas with high and increasing rates of teenage pregnancy and repeat abortions&#8221;.</p>
<p>Other councils to receive the letters were Bristol, Manchester, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Rotherham, Salford, Torbay, Leeds, Bolton, Southampton, Nottingham, Sheffield, Wigan, Blackpool, Peterborough, and four London boroughs – Croydon, Enfield, Haringey, and Barking and Dagenham.</p>
<p>According to official figures for 2007/8, there are 1,200 girls aged under 15 taking long-acting contraception, as well as 2,900 15-year-olds and 11,500 girls aged 16 or 17.</p>

<p>The procedure was carried out in Southampton, Hants, as part of a government initiative to drive down teenage pregnancies.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>As many as nine secondary schools in the city are thought to have been involved.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>But it has caused a backlash from parents who weren&#8217;t aware that their daughters had been fitted with the 4cm device, which sits under the skin.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>It is currently unknown exactly how many youngsters have taken part in the scheme.</p>
<p>Parents say they have been forced to inspect their child&#8217;s arm for any sign of the implant.</p>
<p>Health chiefs have defended sexual health services going into schools, saying teenage pregnancies had dropped by 22 per cent as a result.</p>
<p>But campaigners from the Family Education Trust say the implant fuels the flames of promiscuity by giving girls licence to have underage sex.</p>
<p>Norman Wells, director of the trust, has urged health chiefs to look at ways of discouraging sexual activity amongst children in the first place.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;Schemes like these inevitably lead to boys putting pressure on girls to have sex.</p>
<p>&#8220;They can now tell their girlfriends: &#8216;You can get the school clinic to give you an implant, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about getting pregnant.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;ll tell them they don&#8217;t have to face the embarrassment of going to see their doctor, and it&#8217;s all confidential so their mum doesn&#8217;t need to know a thing.</p>
<p>&#8220;Parents send their children to school to receive a good education, not to be undermined by health workers who give their children contraceptives behind their backs.</p>
<p>&#8220;Health authorities should be looking for ways of discouraging young people from engaging in sexual activity in the first place.</p>
<p>&#8220;The last thing they should be doing is fuelling the flames of promiscuity and the sexual health crisis with schemes that treat parents, the law and basic moral principles with contempt.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please visit <a href="http://holyhormones.com">Holy Hormones Journal - The Greatest Story Never Told</a> for similar articles.</p><h3><a href="http://todayhealth.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/18/10181277-teen-girls-mystery-illness-now-has-a-diagnosis-mass-hysteria" target="_blank"><strong>MSN</strong></a></h3>
<h3><strong>Health Today</strong></h3>
<p><strong>January 19, 2012</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-14467" style="10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="fainting girls" src="http://holyhormones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/fainting-girls.jpg" alt="" width="212" height="153" />The day after TODAY reported on the baffling case of 12 teenage girls at one school who mysteriously fell ill with Tourette&#8217;s-like symptoms of tics and verbal outbursts, a doctor who is treating some of the girls has come forward to offer an explanation. Dr. Laszlo Mechtler, a neurologist in Amherst, N.Y., says the diagnosis is &#8220;conversion disorder,&#8221; or mass hysteria.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;It&#8217;s happened before, all around the world, in different parts of the world. It&#8217;s a rare phenomena. Physicians are intrigued by it,&#8221; Mechtler told TODAY on Wednesday. &#8220;The bottom line is these teenagers will get better.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On the show Tuesday, psychologist and TODAY contributor Dr. Gail Saltz noted that just because the girls&#8217; symptoms may be psychological in origin doesn&#8217;t make them any less real or painful.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“That’s not faking it. They’re real symptoms,” Saltz continued. “They need a psychiatric or psychological treatment. Treatment does work.’’</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001950/" target="_blank">Conversion disorder</a> symptoms usually occur after a stress event, although a patient can be more at risk if also suffering from an illness. Symptoms may last for days or weeks and can include blindness, inability to speak, numbness or other neurologic problems.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s unclear which of the girls first showed symptoms, or whether any particular event triggered the outbreak. High school cheerleader and art student Thera Sanchez says her tics, stammer and verbal outbursts appeared out of the blue after a nap one day last October.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“I was fine. I was perfectly fine. There was nothing going on, and then I just woke up, and that’s when the stuttering started,” Sanchez told TODAY.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“I’m very angry,’’ Sanchez told TODAY’s Ann Curry during an interview Tuesday. “I’m very frustrated. No one’s giving me answers.’’</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The New York State Health Department has been investigating the case for more than three months and says the school building is not to blame. Officials from the LeRoy Junior-Senior High School in upstate New York, where all the girls attended when their symptoms began, have released environmental reports, conducted by an outside agency, showing no substances in any of the school buildings that could cause health problems.</p>

<p>On the poor outskirts of Dakar, Senegal, we sat before six imams in an airy mosque. They are holy men, respected community leaders, and, lately, birth control champions. &#8220;Family spacing,&#8221; they called it, as they cheerfully explained <a title="Voices of America: International Conference Highlights Family Planning in Senegal" href="http://www.voanews.com/english/news/africa/International-Conference-Highlights-Family-Planning-in-Senegal-135278303.html">why Islam supports it</a>. &#8220;What&#8217;s good for a woman is good for her family, and for her society. We want healthy societies.&#8221;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, 4,000 miles away and two weeks earlier, Barack Obama met quietly with Roman Catholic leaders to <a title="New York Times: Democrats Urge Obama to Protect Contraceptive Coverage in Health Plans" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/20/us/politics/democrats-urge-obama-to-defend-birth-control-rules.html">discuss the feasibility</a> of including religious and moral exemptions to birth control coverage in a new healthcare bill. Never mind that <a title="Huffington Post: Mr President: Catholic Women Use Birth Control, Too " href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jon-obrien/catholics-birth-control-contraception_b_1110212.html">98% of sexually active Catholic women</a> in the US <a href="http://t.co/2NxyjWMZ">currently use modern contraception</a> (pdf).</p>
<p>I was in Dakar for the <a title="All Africa: Ghana: Landmark Conference On Family Planning Opens in Dakar, Senegal" href="http://allafrica.com/stories/201111300419.html">International Conference on Family Planning</a>, where thousands had convened to talk about birth control. At registration, we received conference bags as per usual, which included a pack of emergency contraception – the thin white box tossed in amid flyers, pens, and condoms as the basic supply, that it is. Across the Atlantic a week later, US secretary of health and human services Kathleen Sebelius announced that she was <a title="New York Times: Plan to Widen Availability of Morning-After Pill Is Rejected" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/08/health/policy/sebelius-overrules-fda-on-freer-sale-of-emergency-contraceptives.html">overruling</a> – for the first time in history – the Food and Drug Administration&#8217;s recommendation that emergency contraception be available to individuals under the age of 17 without a prescription. The contrasts are striking.</p>
<p>The US is increasingly out of sync with developed and developing countries worldwide on these issues. Others get it: access to birth control is a linchpin in efforts to save lives. But the US continues to treat the issue as a political football. When people can choose whether or when to become pregnant, everyone benefits. Women are healthier, and their babies and children more likely to be fed, educated and healthy. The workforce is more robust; the government spends less on healthcare – <a title="Guttmacher: The costs and benefIts of investIng in family planning and maternal and newborn health (PDF)" href="http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/AddingItUp2009.pdf">study</a> after <a title="Guttmacher: Facts on satisfying the need for contraception in developing countries (PDF)" href="http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/FB-Unmet-Need-Intl.pdf">study</a> says so. <em>The breadth of birth control&#8217;s benefits are matched only by the chronic magnitude of unmet need for it. Still today a staggering <a title="World Health Organisation: Unmet need for family planning" href="http://www.who.int/gho/maternal_health/reproductive_health/family_planning/en/index.html">215 million women</a> around the world want, but lack, access.</em></p>
<p>Meanwhile, in October, the US house of representatives advanced a bill to cut <a title="US House of Representatives: Pro-life Legislation Co-Sponsored by Representative Mike Kelly Gets Voted Out of House Committee on Foreign Affairs; H.R. 2059 moves closer toward full House vote to defund controversial United Nations Population Fund" href="http://foreignaffairs.house.gov/press_display.asp?id=2012">$40m in funding</a> from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the <a title="UNFPA: Welcome to UNFPA Procurement Services" href="http://web.unfpa.org/procurement/index.htm">largest public sector provider</a> of birth control in the world. The bill <a title="American Progress: Riders on the Budget Storm" href="http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2011/03/budget_riders.html">was just one part of larger efforts</a> to undermine reproductive health, which included gutting family planning programs in the US and reinstating the &#8220;global gag rule&#8221; to punish developing countries for addressing unsafe abortion.</p>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-14078" style="10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Sick-LittleGirl" src="http://holyhormones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Sick-LittleGirl.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="130" />Twelve young schoolgirls from Le Roy Junior &#8211; Senior High School near Rochester, New York, recently became afflicted with a mysterious condition that caused them to develop tics and other symptoms similar to those associated with Tourette Syndrome. But administrators from the Le Roy Central School District refuse to publicly disclose the condition or its cause, even to the girls parents, claiming that it is a &#8220;federal issue.&#8221;</p>
<p>Since September, the 12 afflicted students, all girls, developed symptoms so severe that many of them had to be pulled out of school and tutored at home, according to WHAM 13 in Rochester. Officials claim the girls have all been properly diagnosed since that time, but they refuse to disclose any detailed information citing HIPAA privacy laws that actually do not apply in this situation, which implies a coverup.</p>
<p>&#8220;I can assure you these children have all been seen by professionals that have come up with answers and they are all being treated and they&#8217;re actually doing pretty well,&#8221; alleged Dr. Greg Young from the New York State Department of Health, during a recent meeting with upset parents. Dr. Young and his crew say environmental factors, poisonings, illicit drugs, hysteria, fake illness and various other causes have been ruled out &#8212; but vaccines, and the Gardasil vaccine in particular, were not mentioned as being ruled out.</p>
<p>Jim DuPont, a parent of one of the afflicted girls, expressed outrage about the situation to local reporters following the meeting. Though Dr. Young and the health department claim there is a diagnosis, DuPont says this is untrue. He also says that even <em>he</em> has not been told why his daughter and the others fell ill, as authorities are keeping the true cause, if they even know it, under wraps.</p>
<p>&#8220;Want to know something? If my daughter had a diagnosis and I knew about it, and I would as her parent, I would tell you that!&#8221; said DuPont to WHAM 13. &#8220;These girls all go to the same neurologist and there is no diagnosis. They don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s causing it. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re all here at this meeting.&#8221;</p>
<p>Based on the girls symptoms and the fact that they <em>are</em> all girls, the possible culprit of the mystery illness is the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine Gardasil, which is known to severely debilitate many of the girls that receive it. Perhaps these girls are suffering from &#8220;Post-Gardasil Syndrome,&#8221; the new name given to the spectrum of side effects that often manifest after an individual receives the Gardasil vaccine<br />

[Guttmacher_7_1] The most common reason U.S. women use oral contraceptive pills is to prevent pregnancy, but 14% of pill users—1.5 million women—rely on them exclusively for noncontraceptive purposes. The study documenting this finding, “Beyond Birth Control: The Overlooked Benefits of Oral Contraceptive Pills,” by Rachel K. Jones of the Guttmacher Institute, also found that more than half (58%) of all pill users rely on the method, at least in part, for purposes other than pregnancy prevention—meaning that only 42% use the pill exclusively for contraceptive reasons.</p></p><p>Read the complete article and related information at <a href="http://holyhormones.com/birth-control/many-american-women-use-birth-control-pills-for-noncontraceptive-reasons/">Many American Women Use Birth Control Pills for Noncontraceptive Reasons</a></p>]]></description>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11473" style="10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Guttmacher_7_1" src="http://holyhormones.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Guttmacher_7_1.gif" alt="" width="106" height="116" />The most common reason U.S. women use oral  contraceptive pills is to prevent pregnancy, but 14% of pill users—1.5  million women—rely on them exclusively for noncontraceptive purposes.  The study documenting this finding, “Beyond Birth Control: The  Overlooked Benefits of Oral Contraceptive Pills,” by Rachel K. Jones of  the Guttmacher Institute, also found that more than half (58%) of all  pill users rely on the method, at least in part, for purposes other than  pregnancy prevention—meaning that only 42% use the pill exclusively for  contraceptive reasons.</p>
<p>The study—based on U.S government data from the National Survey of  Family Growth (NSFG)—revealed that after pregnancy prevention (86%), the  most common reasons women use the pill include reducing cramps or  menstrual pain (31%); menstrual regulation, which for some women may  help prevent migraines and other painful “side effects” of menstruation  (28%); treatment of acne (14%); and treatment of endometriosis (4%).  Additionally, it found that some 762,000 women who have never had sex  use the pill, and they do so almost exclusively (99%) for  noncontraceptive reasons.</p>
<p>Menstrual-related disorders and irregular periods are particularly  common during adolescence. Not surprisingly, the study found that teens  aged 15–19 who use the pill are more likely to do so for  non-contraceptive purposes (82%) than for birth control (67%). Moreover,  33% of teen pill users report using oral contraceptive pills solely for  noncontraceptive purposes.</p>
<p>“It is well established that oral contraceptives are essential health  care because they prevent unintended pregnancies,” said study author  Rachel K. Jones. “This study shows that there are other important health  reasons why oral contraceptives should be readily available to the  millions of women who rely on them each year.”</p>

<p><strong>Gardasil Contaminated with HPV rDNA</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11456" style="10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="AoA Needles" src="http://holyhormones.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/AoA-Needles.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="112" />In September of this year, <a href="http://sanevax.org/" target="_blank">SANE Vax Inc.</a> broke the news that 100% of the Gardasil vials tested proved to be contaminated with a recombinant HPV DNA attached to aluminum.  The nonprofit organization contracted with a private lab to run the tests at request of informed physician and medical consumers concerned about HPV vaccine safety and efficacy.  The laboratory informed SANE Vax Inc. that one hundred percent of the thirteen (13) samples of Gardasil™ taken from lots  #1437Z, #1511Z, #0553AA, #NL35360, #NP23400, #NN33070, #NL01490, #NM25110, #NL39620, #NK16180, #NK00140, #NM08120 and #NL13560, currently being  marketed in the U.S.A., Australia, New Zealand, Spain, France, and Poland were found to be positive for HPV rDNA.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the past month global government health agencies went from demanding that vaccine contamination be investigated – to accepting a universal statement possibly written by Merck &#8211; that the agencies were well aware that the ‘presence of DNA fragments was to be expected and did not pose a safety risk. <sup>1. </sup> And life went on as usual.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On October 25, 2011, an advisory panel to the CDC, who actually receives a ‘kick-back’ on Gardasil sales recommended that the vaccine be administered to boys ages 9 to 26 – creating a whole new market for sales and profits.  The recommendation, which falls short of a mandate, means Merck’s Gardasil vaccine could be added to vaccination schedules in pediatricians’ offices across the country.<sup>2</sup></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile – a well-known doctor from Peru, concerned about the safety and efficacy of Gardasil, was scheduled to debate a doctor from Merck at a conference.  Just prior to the scheduled debate, the conference moderator told the audience that the doctor from Merck was in a hurry so he could not stay for the debate regarding the vaccine and instead he would be the first one to address the conferees.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When it was the doctor from Peru’s turn to speak she shared the data and research regarding the contamination of Gardasil with HPV rDNA attached to the aluminum adjuvant. The conference attendees were shocked.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The doctor then accompanied her gynecologist husband to a party for medical professionals and to her great surprise the doctor from Merck was at the gathering.  He of course, was embarrassed to be exposed. When approached by the doctor from Peru he told her that the findings on Gardasil contamination were indeed correct – and the fragments of HPV rDNA did not belong in the vaccine.  And then the ‘good doctor’ tried not to talk to her again that evening.  Perhaps this admission of guilt is the reason he could not or would not debate the vaccination contamination issue?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Gardasil vaccine controversy reads like a well-scripted science fiction novel since medical professionals and researchers have not yet developed a test to conduct studies on the short-term or long term medical effects of a run-way genetically engineered virus bound to aluminum being injected into the body.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> SANE Vax Inc. Concerns</strong></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><em>Does the aluminum adjuvant become the carrier for HPV DNA causing said DNA to remain in the blood and/or organs for an extended length of time?</em></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><em>Since viral DNA cannot replicate by itself (it needs a host cell) what happens if genetically engineered viral DNA enters a human host cell?</em></li>
<li><em>How will this now ‘genetically-engineered cell’ replicate?  Will it mutate the host cell leading towards cancer?</em></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><em>How will genetically engineered cells affect the reproductive health of future generations?</em></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><em>How does the immune system react to the detection of a combination viral DNA and human DNA in what was once a ‘normal’ cell? Will the immune system fight the now genetically engineered human cell?</em></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Can Gardasil Contaminants be Transmitted to Others?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Back in the U.S. Lauren a Gardasil injured teenager – (now adversely affected as long as the purported vaccine’s efficacy – 5 years), was volunteering at a blood drive which left her mother Rosemary, Vice-President of Victim Support wondering ‘If the Gardasil victims are affected by the residue that is in the vaccine, what will it do if they give blood?  Could the recipients of the blood from donors who have had the vaccine be affected by the recombinant HPV DNA?  Can it be transferred via a blood transfusion?’</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rosemary went on to express her concerns to the SANE Vax group that most people who are receiving transfusions are already traumatized and immune-compromised from vehicular or other accidents, surgeries, or poor health conditions.  What will this recombinant HPV DNA virus do to these people?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course, this scenario leads to dozens of others scenarios on how blood might be passed from a vaccine contaminated individual to an unsuspecting victim. What if a medical professional is contaminated by a Gardasil recipient during a routine procedure – or standard lab work?   What if a Gardasil recipient is hurt in a fall or traffic accident and a well-meaning bystander rushes to their aid and becomes contaminated from blood from a wound. How would it be possible to track possible transmission routes that might move through the population faster than a speeding bullet?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Gardasil Science Fiction Scenario Unfolds</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let’s add to the unfolding science-fiction scenario. Now that Merck and the government health agencies are aware of the contamination in Gardasil and the ‘good’ doctor’s public admission that the contamination does not belong in the vaccine, what will the pharmaceutical giant do?  What happens if Merck quietly ‘recalls’ contaminated vials of Gardasil and replaces their stockpiles with non-contaminated vials?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How will this affect the millions of adolescents who may have already received the contaminated vaccine? By the time HPV rDNA test protocols are developed – there may no longer be contaminated lots available for study.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Millions could be left wondering what will happen to them as the genetically engineered viral DNA possibly infects more and more host cells in the body. Will they fall victim to a multitude of autoimmune disorders caused by the marauding viral contaminants eroding their immune system? Will their bodies become riddled with ‘cancerous’ cells?   How will the presence of rDNA affect their fertility or the health of future generations?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11457" style="10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Alexis Wolfe" src="http://holyhormones.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Alexis-Wolfe.jpg" alt="" width="142" height="105" />At this point, no one knows the answers to these questions – and the innocent have truly become human medical experiments.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Take the case of Alexis Wolfe, a teenage girl who became ‘mentally retarded’ post Gardasil vaccination– who is now back in the emergency room, dehydrated &#8211; weighing in at 104 pounds and unable to sleep for days. It has been four years since this young girl was vaccinated. Are the genetically engineered viral particles slowly invading every other cell in her body?  Not to mention that emergency rooms are a perfect breeding ground to spread contaminated rDNA blood to unsuspecting medical professionals and patients who are already ill and traumatized.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps in the interest of public health and safety vials of the contaminated vaccine should be bought by parents with injured children,  researchers and medical professionals so it is possible to develop tests and study the mechanisms of action of viral contaminants attached to aluminum. The purchase of a vial of Gardasil may well indeed hold the only hope for the victims of a vaccine experiment gone bad.</p>

<p>While HPV vaccines are mainly used to protect young women from cervical cancer, the shots have also been found to prevent other types of disease, including penile cancer and genital warts in males. Now, a new study has shown that GlaxoSmithKline&#8217;s Cervarix may also prevent anal cancer in women.</p>
<p>The NIH-sponsored study monitored 4,210 female patients inoculated with Cervarix in Costa Rica; after four years, the researchers found the vaccine had prevented 62% of cervical cancers and 77% of anal cancers due to HPV. The vaccine shields patients from two HPV strains&#8211;16 and 18&#8211;which have been linked to anal cancer, in addition to multiple other strains of the infection.</p>
<p>&#8220;We know anal HPV 16, but also 18, cause the bulk of anal cancers. We know if we remove the infection, it will greatly reduce the likelihood for the cancer,&#8221; said Dr. Aimee Kreimer from the National Cancer Institute, to <em>Reuters</em>. Kreimer&#8217;s study has been published in <em>Lancet Oncology</em>.</p>
<p>The study also found that the vaccine protects against additional HPV types than previously thought, including types 31, 33 and 45, according to <em>Reuters</em>.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11435" style="10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="vaccines-sexually-transmitted-disease" src="http://holyhormones.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/vaccines-sexually-transmitted-disease.jpg" alt="" width="196" height="131" />Recently, there has been a vast amount of media coverage exposing many leading stores sexualizing children through the marketing of inappropriate clothing. Mini skirts, crop tops, and sexy under-wear for primary school children, even high heels for toddlers fill the shelves, leaving parents shocked and outraged.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One little girl Suri Cruise, the daughter of Tom Cruise, is often seen teetering around in high heels whilst wearing bright red lip gloss at the tender age of five. In fact this very young child even has her own ‘fashion blog’, showing interested readers her vast array of tiny high heels whilst sharing her latest fashion tips.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Whilst many parents appear outraged by this seemingly blatant sexploitation of such a young child and are sharing their feelings of disgust on various blogs around the internet, the same emotion evades parents completely when it comes to vaccination. Parents are only too happy to have their little darlings vaccinated with the latest must have vaccine for sexually transmitted diseases and happily sign consent forms without giving it a second thought.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Why is it, that there is not the same level of disgust and outrage when drug companies recommend children from birth vaccinations for sexual diseases? Don’t American parents realize that the government has mandated a vaccination for a venereal disease at birth?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In fact Dr Judith Reisman goes as far as to say these vaccines are little more than ‘<em>condoms in the veins</em>’.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The US government insists that children are vaccinated with the Hepatitis B vaccine on the day that they are born. Hepatitis B is a STD or <strong>SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE</strong> therefore, it is highly unlikely that a tiny baby is going to come into contact with this disease unless they have shared needles, had sex with an infected person or has received contaminated blood.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This being the case, the only possible way that a newborn baby can get Hepatitis B is by having an infected mother give birth to them. So why is the US government insistent that all babies are vaccinated? Why do they not simply identify pregnant mothers who have the disease and vaccinate just those babies? Or better still not give this highly toxic and dangerous vaccination at all?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dr Reisman is clearly disgusted by what she sees and states:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>“Just look at child vaccines. The more pornography and sexology increase juvenile sexual activity, the more big pharma can step in with an Hepatitis B vaccine for infants. HepB is a sexually transmitted disease, and there is no reason to give the vaccine to babies. But big pharma has been making a fortune on it ever since states have begun mandating that all of our little darlings, with their wee tiny hearts and lungs and no immune system functioning, be shot up with it (and recently small girls with Human Papilloma Virus, HPV vaccines) all in the name of protecting them. What we don’t want to do is turn off the pornography flood (no administration has chosen to do that) because it fuels so many other things. And in the wings are vaccines for syphilis and gonorrhea and a whole host of other sexually transmitted diseases.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">She is a strong lady with powerful views and I believe she is correct in her assumptions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the ages of nine through twelve, young girls and boys are now recommended the HPV vaccine. Once again this vaccine, according to the manufacturers Merck and GlaxoSmithKline, is for an STD which has been said to cause cervical cancer. I say ‘<em>said to cause cervical cancer</em>’, as there appears to be very little evidence available to support this theory.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dr Sin Hang Lee who now works with the group Sane Vax says:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>FACT:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The current type-specific HPV vaccines have claimed to be almost 100% effective against infection by HPV-16 and HPV-18, and perhaps also against HPV-31 and HPV-45 infections. However, we do not know if these four HPV types are the most prevalent carcinogenic HPV genotypes in the US. According to two published reports – one by the CDC, HPV-52 not HPV-16 or HPV-18 was found to be the most prevalent “carcinogenic” genotype infecting young American women.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>It is not transient HPV infections, but a persistent high-risk HPV infection that may initiate cervical cancer… Therefore, it is the persistent infection, not the virus that determines cervical cancer risk.</strong></p>
