VACCINATION ADVICE
Vaccinated Children Two and a Half Times More Likely to Have Neurological Disorders Like ADHD and Autism, New Survey in California and Oregon Finds.
PORTLAND, OR, Sep 25 -- A new survey indicates a strong correlation between rates of neurological disorders, such as ADHD and autism, and childhood vaccinations.
The survey, commissioned by Generation Rescue, compared vaccinated and unvaccinated children in nine counties in Oregon and California. Among more than 9,000 boys age 4-17, the survey found vaccinated boys were two and a half times (155%) more likely to have neurological disorders compared to their unvaccinated peers. Vaccinated boys were 224% more likely to have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and 61% more likely to have autism.
For older vaccinated boys in the 11-17 age bracket, the results were even more pronounced. Vaccinated boys were 158% more likely to have a neurological disorder, 317% more likely to have ADHD, and 112% more likely to have autism. Complete survey results are available at http://www.generationrescue.org/.
Generation Rescue commissioned the phone survey. Data was gathered by SurveyUSA, a national market research firm, which surveyed parents by phone on more than 17,000 children, ages 4-17, in California and Oregon.
The survey asked parents whether their child had been vaccinated, and whether that child had one or more of the following diagnoses: Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, Pervasive Development Disorder -- Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS), or Autism. The phone survey was chosen to mirror the methodology the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) uses to establish national prevalence for neurological disorders in their national phone survey.
Generation Rescue also ran a full-page advertisement in USA Today. The ad compares the 36 pediatric vaccines the CDC recommends today to the 10 recommended in 1983, and asks, "Are We Over- Vaccinating Our Kids?"
"No one has ever compared prevalence rates of these neurological disorders between vaccinated and unvaccinated children," said J.B. Handley, co-founder of Generation Rescue, whose son was diagnosed with autism. "The phone survey isn't perfect, but these numbers point to the need for a comprehensive national study to gather this critical information."
In Washington, Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) has been advocating for such a survey. Co-sponsored by Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), the "Comprehensive Comparative Study of Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Population Act of 2006," or H.R. 2832, was introduced on June 22, and would require the National Institutes of Health to complete this research.
"Generation Rescue's study is impressive and forcefully raises some serious questions about the relationship between vaccines and autism. What is ultimately needed to resolve this issue one way or the other is a comprehensive national study of vaccinated and unvaccinated children," said Congresswoman Maloney. "The parents behind Generation Rescue only want information. These parents deserve more than road blocks, they deserve answers. We can and should move forward in search of those answers. That's why I've introduced a common sense bill that would require the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to conduct a comprehensive, comparative study on the possible link between autism and thimerosal."
From 1983 to 2007, autism rates have climbed from 1 in 10,000 children to 1 in 150 children, a growth rate of 6,000% (boys are significantly more affected by neurological disorders, accounting for approximately 80% of all cases). ADHD currently affects 1 in 13 children. In the same period, the CDC's recommended vaccine schedule more than tripled. The simmering debate over the cause of childhood neurological disorders shows no sign of cooling, but no study had ever been done to look at unvaccinated children.
Lisa Handley, co-founder of Generation Rescue, adds, "Everyone working with autism wants to identify the cause so we can focus on treatment and prevention. A national study like HR 5940 could help end this debate and focus all of our resources on helping our kids. Its time has come, and we hope Congress will choose to put our children first."

Debilitating Period Pain cured by Chiropractic - true, inhouse testimonial
I have had the opportunity to come to ‘hands on…’ now for 7 months.
I was at first sceptical of the benefits of Chiropractic but the results have been remarkable and have changed my way of thinking. Since being introduced to Chiro, I am now educated about the way my body works and how my nervous system controls every organ in my body. I now see a Chiropractor frequently to remove my sublaxations, which then enables my nervous system to work to its optimum.
I had severe health issues when I first arrived here and over time these symptoms have either disappeared or subsided dramatically.
Prior to Chiropractic I was taking Panadeine Forte to battle the pain during my menstrual cycle. This was the only thing I could take to alleviate my pain enough to allow me to perform the smallest of duties such as getting out of bed. Although I was aware taking endless amounts of tables would have long term effects on my body at the time the alleviation of pain was of far greater value to me. I had even been hospitalised for this condition . After 6 days on strong pain killers I was drugged and drained for several days after and this was my monthly routine.
Since I have been receiving Chiro my pelvis is aligned correctly and I no longer require the use of tablets to get through the day (which I was subjected to thinking was normal for me).
My diet was also very poor before I came to ‘hands on…’ and my understanding of eating healthily was to have lettuce and tomato on my kebab. My way of thinking has been changed for the better and I cannot thank enough the doctors and staff at ‘hands on…’ in assisting me slowly with this. I feel I am a different person both spiritually, emotionally and physically and feel a lot happier in everything I do.
I feel ‘hands on…’ brought me here to show me a new way of life. To strengthen myself both physically and mentally. As I continue with my Chiropractic treatment I am excited about the changes that lie ahead.

‘THE HEALING CRISIS’
Words to motivate a Health Journey A healing crisis is in effect when the body is in the process of elimination. Reactions may be mild or they may be severe. One should expect this and work toward it. The body’s inherent desire is perfect health. We have the ability to earn our way back to that state. The body must go through an elimination process to achieve good health. There will be ups & downs. One dose not go immediately into good health. This elimination process we call the “healing process”.A Healing crisis results when all body systems work in concert to eliminate waste products and set the stage for regeneration. Old tissues are replaced with new. A disease crisis, on the other hand, is not a natural one and works against the body’s natural processes. Symptoms during a healing crisis may be identical to the disease, but there is an important difference-elimination. A cleansing, purifying process is underway and stored wastes are in a free-flowing state. Sometimes pain during the healing crisis is of greater intensity that when the chronic disease is building up. This may explain why there may be a brief flare-up in one’s condition.The crisis will usually bring about past conditions in whatever order the body is capable of handling them at the time. People often forget the disease or injuries they have had in the past, but eruptions, nausea, headaches, sleepiness, unusual fatigue, diarrhoea, head or chest cold, ear infection, boils, or any other way the body uses to loosen and eliminate toxins. The crisis usually lasts three days, but if the energy of the patient is low it may last for a week or more. The body needs juices, and especially water, to help carry off the toxins. This is a time for rest – mental as well as physical rest.One crisis is not always enough for a complete cure. The person in a chronic state, who has gone through many disease processes in life, must go through these processes again. Often the crisis will come after one feels this very best, setting the stage for the action most people feel an energy boost the first few days. Then toxins are dumped into the blood stream fore elimination. Go as slowly as your body needs to so that your elimination is gradual and comfortable. With a more serious condition there may be many small crises to go through before the final one is possible. Everything must be considered and given its proper place in the build-up to a healing crisis. One should expect it and work towards it.
