“Mercury in Vaccines and an Attack on Dr. Andrew Wakefield”

Health Empowerment News returns after a several month hiatus! It’s good to be back…

This week, Croft and Andrew talk about the vindication of Dr. Andrew Wakefield and his work showing a link between mercury in vaccines and infant autism.

Also,

We discuss the news about Taco Bell having only 35% beef in their beef tacos and the lawsuit asking them to stop advertising that they are selling beef when in fact they are selling “other stuff”.

We discuss the need for regulations but not the type of regulation like the recently passed Bill C-36.

Recently, CBC Marketplace featured an attack on homeopathy. Croft has his own opinions on the issue and shares them with Health Empowerment News listeners.

We take a couple questions from listeners.

Hot off the Press:

Attack on Dr. Andrew Wakefield:

We mention the site “global research” on the show where you can find the Richard Gale and Dr. Gary Null article
H1N1 Vaccine may cause miscarriage but Gardisil and Cervarix are worse.

Croft references the site www.sanevax.org. Check it out.

Health Empowerment News with Croft Woodruff – Episode 20

“Multiple Sclerosis – A treatment in search of a Doctor!”

This week, Croft and Andrew talk about an alternative treatment for Multiple Sclerosis ( MS ). Croft refers to Townsend Letter for Doctors (March 2000), telling the story of Dale Humpfries, who was successfully treated by Dr. Klenner in 1973.

A diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis has been generally accepted as a debilitating life sentence as nerves in the body continue to degenerate. There is no accepted cure for MS.

A new treatment for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has received a lot of attention in the media lately. It is called the Zamboni Treatment. Named after the doctor who invented the procedure, Dr. Paolo Zamboni. The treatment involves clearing out veins removing blood from the brain which allows excess iron to be removed the brain. Dr. Zamboni believes that for many MS patients this treatment removes the root cause of the disease.

Croft talks about articles in the Victorian and other newspapers back in 1976 talking about the people who were virtually cured by Dr. Klenner, Dr. Hoffer and others. The medical establishment never did seriously investigate these protocols.

Also, a listener asks a question about lowering cholesterol naturally due to bad reactions to various statin drugs.

“H1N1 | Vaccine Adjuvants – Dr. Chris Shaw, PhD Interview”

This week on Health Empowerment News Croft and Andrew talk with Dr. Chris Shaw, PhD about his research on vaccine adjuvants and degenerative neurological disorders.

Health Empowerment News – Show Notes:

If you enjoy this episode please post your feedback in the comment box below!

About Dr. Chris Shaw, Phd

I am currently the principal investigator of a lab within the department of Ophthalmology/Medicine at UBC and also an associate professor and associate member within the departments of Physiology, Experimental Medicine, and the Graduate Program in Neuroscience. I began my post-secondary education in California with a B.Sc. in Biology from the University of California Irvine. I continued my education at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem with a M.Sc. in Physiology and a Ph.D. in Neurobiology. I then spent several years here in Canada at Dalhousie University, first as a post-doctoral fellow, and then as a research associate, before beginning my affiliation with UBC. My research over the years has focussed on two key areas: neuroplasticity and neuropathology. When I first arrived at UBC, most of my work was directed toward an understanding of the mechanisms underlying receptor regulation and has resulted in numerous reviews. The outcome of these studies laid the groundwork for a reevaluation of current theories of neuroplastic phenomenon such as long-term potentiation, and for the role that abnormal receptor regulation may play in some neurodegenerative disorders. The current research focus of my laboratory is on ALS-parkinsonism dementia complex. Most ongoing studies here target various facets of this neurodegenerative disease through our mouse model using an environmental neurotoxin called cycad (Cycas circinalis).

The controversy over the Swine Flu ( H1N1 ) Vaccines have focused primarily on the safety of the adjuvants and preservatives used in the vaccines. Adjuvants are used to cause a hyper immune reaction in order to make the vaccine more effective. Many experts are questioning the safety of vaccines and their adjuvants but the mainstream media has been portraying these professionals in a negative light. Dr. Chris Shaw joins us on Health Empowerment News to talk about his research results on squalene and aluminum vaccine adjuvants.

GSK Data Sheet:
This is the actual product monograph of the H1N1 vaccine that is in the process of being distributed in Canada .

http://www.gsk.ca/english/docs-pdf/Arepanrix_PIL_CAPA01v01.pdf

Dr. Shiv Chopra’s vaccine petition may be of interest to some listeners. The information is posted below:

Sign Vaccine Petition here:

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/vaccines-prevention-or-curse#o

Anyone knowing the basics of biology should know:
1. That all vaccines by their very nature are antigens and that every antigen by defintion must be a foreign protein or a substance attached to one’s own or some other foreign protein;
2. That no foreign protein can be absorbed into the blood stream unless it is digested in the alimentary canal into its basic amino acids;
3. That it is these amino acids which after being absorbed into the blood stream are reconstituted into one’s own proteins and it is these proteins which distinguishes every being of existence into self and non-self.
4. That any interference or tampering with these laws of existence can bring calamity to the being in which it occurs such as by causing auto-immune conditions like autism, etc.
This is precisely what may be occurring due to vaccine injections in people. Surprisingly, I am presently the only scientist who is reminding about this phenomenon of existence. If I am wrong I would like to be corrected by those claiming to possess better knowledge of same.
The foreign proteins in vaccines originate from not only the infectious organisms against which one wishes to produce infection-fighting antibodies but also the artificial media in which these organisms are grown. Contained in such media may include one or more of the following materials: bovine serum, horse serum, chicken egg, monkey kidney, insect cells and even human fetal cells.
Apart from the foreign proteins, vaccines may also contain other harmful substances, including mercury, aluminum, formalin, oily adjuvants, etc., plus untold number of stray viruses with the potential to cause cancer, HIV, serum-hepatitis, and so on.
Meanwhile, evidence indicates that except for smallpox, no other infectious disease, e.g.: tuberculosis, cholera, typhoid, anthrax, measles, mumps, rubella, DPT, polio, influenza and others,has been eradicated and that this continues to be so despite the decades of vaccinations against each of these diseases. Also, during the same period, the incidence of many previously uncommon diseases, such as autism, diabetes, allergies, andcancer, has been increasing in pandemic proportions.

I feel that it is time to demand a moratorium on, at least, the compulsory vaccinations for children, health care professionals and military personnel until such time that these issues are reviewed and discussed in an open and transparent manner with the due involvement of the public.

Dr. Classen (Classen Immunotherapies)

In episode 9 of Health Empowerment News, Croft talks about Dr. Classen and his research into the safety of vaccines and other medical products. You can find the information at the link below:

http://www.vaccines.net/newpage1.htm

Classen Immunotherapies, Inc. is a privately held research stage biopharmaceutical company devoted to discovering safer uses of vaccines, drugs, devices, chemicals and related products. Classen Immunotherapies discovered that common vaccines are one of the most important causes of diabetes in children and in highly immunized adults. Management believes that many drugs and chemicals also cause severe adverse events that have not yet been discovered. Epidemiology and other tools can be used to identify high risk situations where the use of a drug or other agent should be avoided. Examples of situations where use of a drug should be avoided include situations where serious adverse drug drug interactions are common and situations where serious adverse interactions between drugs and existing medical conditions are common.

“The Swine Flu Body Bag Fiasco, Bill C-6 and Corporate Front Groups”

This week on Health Empowerment News, Croft and Andrew talk about the Swine Flu ( H1N1 ) Body Bag fiasco and Health Canada’s response. Bill C-6 is currently under review at the Canadian Senate. This is the last chance to stop Bill C-6 before it gets royal assent. Also, Croft warns listeners to be aware of corporate front groups.

Health Empowerment Show Notes:

Stevens-Johnson Sydrome

The following quote is from:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15357044

A 19-year-old male military recruit developed erythema multiforme 20 days after receiving a triad of vaccinations: smallpox (vaccinia virus), anthrax, and tetanus. Over the course of a few days, the erythema multiforme evolved into Stevens-Johnson syndrome, associated with widespread bullae, stomatitis, conjunctivitis, and fever. After 7 days of conservative management, the patient’s signs and symptoms improved. This case serves as a timely reminder of a severe and potentially life-threatening complication of smallpox vaccination.

Health Empowerment News with Croft Woodruff – Episode 4

“Drug Induced Nutrient Depletion – Are you affected?”

This week on Health Empowerment News, Croft and Andrew talk about Drug Induced Nutrient Depletion.

Show Notes:

Ever wondered why prescription and over the counter medications often have many side effects? One of the culprits is the nutrient depleting effects of synthetic chemical drugs.

In episode 4 of Health Empowerment News, Croft talks about one of his favourite books, “The Drug Induced Nutrient Depletion Handbook”, by Ross Ross Pelton. This book outlines the fact that over 1000 commonly prescribed drugs and OTC medications may be depleting one or more nutrients from the body. Is it possible that our medications are making us sicker by depleting us of essential nutrients? Could some medications be depleting nutrients which are supporting the very organ or organ system the drug is supposed to help? Listen to the show to find out…
