Vaccine Damage Compensation

Something that may be of interested to you. I had no idea that chronic fatigue syndrome had been reported under the yellow card system as an adverse reactions to hepatitis B vaccines. This just proves that to be able to fully understand this illness and of course M.E. one must read as widely as one can.

Westminster Hall debates, 8 July 2009, 4:00 pm

Ian Stewart (Eccles, Labour): Today's debate focuses on adults such as those in the medical professions. 1993 DOH guidance required, as a condition of service, that all new employers in "exposure prone procedures" should receive hepatitis vaccines. However, people in other jobs are affected too, and I have listed them in my recent early-day motion 1646, which has attracted 138 signatories from all parties represented in the House. I repeat that the numbers affected are small, but, as with all vaccine victims, the casualties are completely innocent; their lives, and those of their families, have been sadly diminished through no fault of their own. This is a family issue.

SUMMARY

* MMR Vaccine Puts 3,000 British Babies At Risk
Of Autism Or Death Each Year

More than 3,000 British babies could be at
risk of autism each year
Fresh fears for the safety of MMR vaccinations will
be raised this week with a claim that more than 3,000
British babies could be at risk of autism and even death
each year. In a new edition of his book, The Truth About
Vaccines, Dr Richard Halvorsen, collates the latest
studies that suggest children with the condition have
developed autism after jabs. "If we could find susceptible
children we could prevent them from being damaged by
vaccines. At the moment we don't know how many children
are at risk. . . It seems to me the establishment are
just scared to utter any breath that vaccines can be a
problem," he said. The condition, mitochondrial dysfunction, describes the failure of parts of the victim's cells
which produce energy. A recent Newcastle University
study found at least one in 200 people harbours a
mitochondrial mutation. Last year, the US government
agreed compensation for 10-year-old Hannah Poling,
having conceded out of court that her autism was
linked to a series of jabs in July 2000 at 19 months.

Although international law prohibits the use of chemical
and bacteriological weapons, America has had an active
biological warfare program since at least the 1940s.
World media are reporting that Baxter Pharmaceuticals
has admitted that it 'accidently' contaminated various
vaccine batches with Avian Flu viruses, shipped to 18
countries. Either stupidity and incompetence are to
blame or intentional contamination of flu vaccine lots
was at work. On June 10, Austrian journalist Jane
Burgermeister filed sweeping criminal charges with
the FBI in addition to earlier ones on April 8 with
the Vienna State Prosecutor's Office against Baxter
AG, Baxter International and Avir Green Hill Biotechnology
AG, "for manufacturing, disseminating, and releasing a
biological weapon of mass destruction on Austrian soil
between December 2008 and February 2009 with the intention
of causing a global bird flu pandemic virus and of
intending to profit from that same pandemic in an act
that violates laws on international organised crime
and genocide." On June 25, Daniel DeNoon in WebMD
Health News reported that CDC's influenza surveillance
chief, Dr. Lyn Finelli, said: "Right now, we are
estimating over 1 million Swine Flu cases in the US"
in 2009 affecting about 6% of households in major cities."

has published that the swine flu pandemic is a laboratory

Some of those invited to attend the evidence session on
Thursday 9 July were informed that the venue for Thursday's
session is House of Commons Committee Room 18. It has been
confirmed that: the venue for the Thursday 9 July meeting
has been booked for Committee Room 8 and the venue for
the Thursday 16 July meeting has been booked for Committee
Room 18 which accords with the latest notice posted on the
APPG on ME website which I have appended. No Agenda has
been made available for this meeting, so I cannot list
the names of individuals and patient organisations who
have been invited to give evidence, other than Action
for M.E. and the ME Association, which I am told are
being represented by Sir Peter Spencer and Dr Charles
Shepherd, respectively. All enquiries in relation to
oral evidence sessions and inquiry in general to
Dr Des Turner MP. Contact details published.

* The ME/CFS H2S Urine Test
http://tinyurl. com/nfgm8d

Jan van Roijen publishes in his Help Me Circle
e-newsletter: "Last week I did the self-diagnosing
urine test for ME (Prof De Meirleir & Dr Roelant),
which I ordered from PROTEA biopharma. The Neurotoxic
Metabolite Test aims at detecting the presence of
abnormal metabolites in the urine. These metabolites
are related to the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
Although H2S is naturally present in the body, and plays
some normal physiological functions, an excess production
can be very detrimental. The test has not yet been
approved as clinical diagnostic test, and should be
considered as 'research use only'." One Click Note:
On One Click we are not endorsing this test, merely
forwarding the promotion posted by Jan van Roijen and
his Help Me Circle that is in the public domain. There
has already been controversy over this test for ME/CFS
produced by Kenny De Meirleir. Some severe ME sufferers
have ordered two of these kits, one to do on themselves
and another on a healthy control not in the same
environment. The court of public opinion is as yet out
on this test whilst money is going to PROTEA Biopharma.
Flag your results up on the net, either named or
anonymously. It seems fitting that the consumer should
be the ultimate peer reviewer when money is likely to
change hands on this scale.

Government's Responose to ePetition

Wednesday 1 July 2009

AttendIiME2009 - epetition response

We received a petition asking:

“We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to petition for Ministers Of Health, MRC and CMO to attend the INVEST in MEConference 29th May 2009.”

Details of Petition:

“We the undersigned petition the Prime to send the Minister Of Health, Medical Research Council delegates and the Chief Medical Officer to attend the INVEST in ME Conference 29th May 2009 London. The previous IiME conferences in 2008 attended by presenters and delegates from 13 countries, from Europe, USA, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea demonstrated that “PROVEN BIOLOGICALMARKERS & TREATMENTS FOR SOME SUB TYPES OF ME/CFS ARE ALREADY THERE!” Now the challenge is for the Chief Medical officer, the Medical Research Council and the Government to take up the challenge laid down by the conference in 2008 and commit to a national strategy of biomedical research into ME, without any conditionsor provisions for enforcing the psychosocial model to be in corporated.”

Read the Government’s response

Thank you for your e-petition. I apologise for the delay in replying. Ministers and the Chief Medical Officer receive a large number of invitations from stakeholders, pressure groups and individuals to attend meetings and events. Regrettably, it is not possible to attend the vast majority of these events.

The Medical Research Council is an independent organisation and it would therefore not be appropriate for the Prime Minister to instruct it.

More generally, the Government recognises chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) as a debilitating and distressing condition. CFS/ME is a chronic illness and health and social care professionals should manage it as such.

The Department of Health funds research for health policy development, clinical and applied health research in the NHS, and the NHS costs incurred in supporting research funded by other bodies such as the research councils and charities. The Department’s research budget for 2009/10 is £896million. Details of individual NHS-based projects, including some concerned with CFS/ME, are on the UK Clinical Research Network Portfolio database at www.nihr.ac.uk. Some of these projects receive external funding from research councils and charities.

There have been some recent findings about a genetic basis of CFS/ME that are providing extremely valuable insights into the causes of, and possible therapies for, the condition. Clearly, these are early research findings that at present have no direct relevance to any predictive or diagnostic gene test for these conditions. However, the Department of Health continues to keep such developments under review and there are well-established mechanisms to evaluate new genetic findings and ensure their proper implementation across the NHS.

What Helps You?


Although I haven't tried many supplements and medications, the ones I have tried have helped me in some small way. Not necessarily curing but mostly managing the various symptoms. As we all know there are a myriad of symptoms and by my count it would be necessary to take over 60 different supplements if each were to deal with an individual symptom. Clearly, this is unsustainable and is likely to be as good for our bodies as it is for our pockets.

Perhaps if we share our knowledge we might reach a consensus on the best supplements/medications for our condition.

What supplements or medications have made a positive difference to your condition and how?

Please pop over to the discussion forum and share your thoughts.
