I love Dr. Nancy Snyderman of NBC

I love this tidbit, too: Yes, children, if you eat animals, their DNA replaces your DNA and you gradually become like that animal. I think maybe SaveAmerica has read too much Animorphs.

Here Aximili demonstrates the effect on Andalites:

Sadly, Safe-Keeper, this is the very basis for the newest 'MMR causes autism' claim that may gain some traction amongst the lowest common denominator. It is actually an abstract that is being presented at IMFAR right now.

Looks like our little friend has taken off and decided not to come back after his suspension.

Why have the words “whirlwind of stupid” popped into my head?

What I don't get is that this TOPIC, is about Dr. Snyderman and VACCINES.

Why people are having troubles staying on topic is beyond my control, so don't blame me, because someone redirects and distorts what I say, why reply to a bunch of blabbering idiots?

When I type, people tend to see words that aren't there and contexts that were not intended, so show me some people that can stay on topic, and not dodge issues brought up, or denying what I'm saying (that toxic chemicals exist in vaccines that shouldn't be there, sure there are toxic chemicals in the environment, and we can't keep all those out, but I can sure as hell.. say NO to deadly vaccines, and I.... KNOW that WATER itself, is not toxic, but if you want to be an idiot, go ahead and distort and redirect this TOXIC CHEMICAL IN MEDICINE.. into "hey if you drink enough water its toxic" umm NOOOOOO!!!! You can be INTOXICATED by drinking too much water, but WHO DOES THAT?! IDIOTS.. so.. I'm not concerned about what IDIOTS do with water, is up to them, don't be an idiot and don't take your IDIOT talking points to a discussion about DRUG PUSHERS and the DRUGS they PUSH!


Now...

medical establishment TOLD us there was no mercury... LIE

medical establishment TOLD us they took it out... LIE

medical establishment, instead of taking it out, TOLD us that its now good for us.... LIE

medical establishment TOLD us for decades that there was no mercury in silver fillings... LIE

medical establishment TOLD us for decades that mercury was safe in the fillings... LIE

medical establishment TOLD us over and over again, that if you believed there was mercury in the fillings, or the vaccines, that we were conspiracy theorists, kooks, nuts, tin-foil-hat wearing momma's boy living in the basement... MORE LIES

medical establishment TOLD us that Gardasil was safe... its killed over 30(last time I checked.. last year) women so far, how many more haven't we heard about yet? and they're still getting on Television claiming that this will prevent cancer, and yet there's many studies done by the manufacturer, in the insert that comes with the vaccine, mentions.

medical establishment TOLD us Vioxx was safe.. meanwhile it killed over 55,000 Americans.. more than the Vietnam War, and it was approved again!

meanwhile doctors like Dr. Wakefield that DOES the studies that finds there's major problems with these vaccines and other drugs, then the ESTABLISHMENT PIMPS decide to go after him, not because he's a "quack" but because if they don't they could lose BILLIONS, if not TRILLIONS of dollars(over decades) pushing petroleum pills and vaccines onto us!


You want to live in a world that the only answer your doctor can give you, is in a prescription.. then you go live in that world.

Leave me to my herbs that come from the earth, not some synthetic pills and animal genetics in my blood.. EFF that!
 
Well Mr. Save America, that was certainly a grand bit of propaganda for just telling us you want to be left in peace with your herbs. Who's stopping you?

And yet it was the same medical establishment that performed the studies that showed it was dangerous.

Of course the fact he took money from a law firm to prove a link between vaccines and autism is completely irrelevant. Its fascinating how the conspiracy mongers will cry "Big Pharma Stooge!!!" without a shred of evidence at every researcher whose work doesn't support their beliefs, yet when faced with incontrovertible evidence of wrongdoing by one of their heroes will conveniently ignore it.

Insulting your fellow-posters is a good way to get another spell on the naughty step. I wouldn't recommend it.

When I type, people tend to see words that aren't there and contexts that were not intended, so show me some people that can stay on topic, and not dodge issues brought up, or denying what I'm saying (that toxic chemicals exist in vaccines that shouldn't be there, sure there are toxic chemicals in the environment, and we can't keep all those out, but I can sure as hell.. say NO to deadly vaccines, and I....

I'm not concerned about what IDIOTS do with water, is up to them, don't be an idiot and don't take your IDIOT talking points to a discussion about DRUG PUSHERS and the DRUGS they PUSH!


Let's go over this One More Time. "The dose makes the poison." Absolutely everything is poisonous if you take in enough of it, even if it only causes mechanical injury. Water is a good case in point. It's essential for life, but indeed if you drink too much it will poison you. Just because you think someone is an idiot if they do that (like the man with the toothache I mentioned earlier) doesn't make it any less true.

The other side of the coin is that even the most deadly poisons are harmless in sufficiently minute doses. The deadliest poisons are all "natural" products (puffer-fish toxin and some clostridial toxins and so on), but even they can safely be ingested so long as you make sure only to take in a tiny amount.


Now...

medical establishment TOLD us there was no mercury... LIE


No mercury in thiomersal? Nobody ever told anyone that, for one reason because it's obvious from the name of the compound. Thio-MER-sal.

medical establishment TOLD us they took it out... LIE


Er, not a lie. Even though thiomersal is perfectly safe due to that "minute dose" thing, they took it out of children's vaccines anyway to placate the baying mob of ill-informed lunatics.

This might not hae been such a smart move. Thiomersal is a preservative, used to make it possible to employ multi-dose vaccine bottles. If you want to pay more, you can have single-dose vials that don't need a preservative. Fine. However, countries in the third world are still using the multi-dose vials with the thiomersal, and are now refusing to vaccinate their children "because it has this mercury compound in it that the USA was forced to take out of vaccines for domestic use, what are you trying to do, poison us?" So the poor kids don't get vaccinated and dangerous diseases spread.

medical establishment, instead of taking it out, TOLD us that its now good for us.... LIE


Nobody told you mercury (or even thiomersal) is good for you. However, safe, uncontaminated vaccines with an effective preservative are good for you.

medical establishment TOLD us for decades that there was no mercury in silver fillings... LIE


Rubbish. What you call "silver" fillings have always been referred to as "mercury-amalgam" fillings. Nobody ever tried to conceal that.

medical establishment TOLD us for decades that mercury was safe in the fillings... LIE


Actually, that's true.

medical establishment TOLD us over and over again, that if you believed there was mercury in the fillings, or the vaccines, that we were conspiracy theorists, kooks, nuts, tin-foil-hat wearing momma's boy living in the basement... MORE LIES


Citation?

medical establishment TOLD us that Gardasil was safe... its killed over 30(last time I checked.. last year) women so far, how many more haven't we heard about yet? and they're still getting on Television claiming that this will prevent cancer, and yet there's many studies done by the manufacturer, in the insert that comes with the vaccine, mentions.


Please produce evidence that Gardasil has killed anyone at all.

People die all the time. Even teenage girls sometimes die. If you give a product to that many people, just in the normal course of events some of them will die shortly afterwards. So far as I know, not one of these deaths has been shown to be causally related to the vaccine.

medical establishment TOLD us Vioxx was safe.. meanwhile it killed over 55,000 Americans.. more than the Vietnam War, and it was approved again!


And how do you know Vioxx wasn't safe? Because the medical establishment monitored the drug and did the statistics and did the tests. If they'd done what you fruitcakes do with your herbs, just assume everything is fine and never follow anything up, nobody would know to this day.

Was it really as many as 55,000 excess deaths in the USA? Can someone confirm this?

meanwhile doctors like Dr. Wakefield that DOES the studies that finds there's major problems with these vaccines and other drugs, then the ESTABLISHMENT PIMPS decide to go after him, not because he's a "quack" but because if they don't they could lose BILLIONS, if not TRILLIONS of dollars(over decades) pushing petroleum pills and vaccines onto us!


Ah, no. Wakefield really was Evil Big Pharma cooking his results for fun and profit. He was entirely motivated by getting the millions, billions and trillions all for himself. Funny you don't recognise it when it actually happens.

Wakefield wanted to prove that the standard vaccine was harmful. He had a good reason for this. He himself had taken out a patent on a quack preparation made from goat's milk that he fondly imagined he could sell instead of vaccines. His first idea was that MMR caused Crohn's disease, but even he had to admit there was no evidence for that. However, a lawyer who had a bunch of clients who wanted to sue the vaccine manufacturer because they believed MMR had caused their children to be brain damaged, saw Wakefield's work on Crohn's disease, and commissioned him to find evidence to show the vaccine caused brain damage.

Wakefield was set to rake in the money in two ways. One as an "expert" being paid to present evidence in court that the vaccine was harmful (he was paid £55,000 plus a fee of £150 an hour for this work, over and above his normal salary), and second by selling the goat's milk pills which he wanted all children to be given instead of the vaccine.

So he made up his results. This is well documented. He lied about the time of onset of the children's medical problems and he lied about the type of behavioural problems they had, and he lied about their lab results.

The reason he was struck off though was less about the lying and more about the fact that he used a bunch of mentally disturbed children as lab rats, subjecting them to a battery of painful and distressing tests that were not necessary for their own treatment, but simply to generate data for his research.

This is the man you seem to admire?

You want to live in a world that the only answer your doctor can give you, is in a prescription.. then you go live in that world.


Indeed, no. Doctors have many answers that don't involve prescriptions.

Leave me to my herbs that come from the earth, not some synthetic pills and animal genetics in my blood.. EFF that!


You didn't notice that a large number of licensed drugs originally come from herbs? You didn't notice that "herbs that come from the earth" can be extremely poisonous? Deadly nightshade, yew, laburnum, foxglove, ragwort, the list even of common plants that are deadly poisons is very long. And then someone mentioned tobacco?

And yet, many of these poisonous plants do yield useful drugs when we get that pesky dose thing right. Atropine, taxol, digitalis.... Like everything else, deadly poison in a high enough dose, absolutely without effect in a low enough dose. And they also happen to be beneficial to certain medical conditions in just the right dose.

So you want to go on playing with your plants, with no idea about what dose of anything you're dealing with, whether you're producing no effect or a poisonous effect, please carry on. There's probably a Darwin award in it for you at some point.

SaveAmerica, everything is toxic in sufficient amounts.

Selenium is a micronutrient that is absolutely vital to sustain life, but if you eat more than a few mg per kg of body weight in a single dose you will soon be dead as a doornail.

Even the relatively harmless water soluble vitamins are toxic in sufficient amounts. The LD50 for vitamin C is 12 g/kg of body weight in rats.

Lingonberries, apples and several other fruits and berries contain benzoic acid in concentrations that rival its use as an "artificial preservative". When mixed with vitamin C small amounts of benzene are formed.

The main components of the fragrance of most fruits, vegetables and spices is typically a mixture of esters, benzene derivatives or terpenes.

E.g. in pears you will find benzyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, pentyl butyrate and propyl ethanoate.

Benzyl acetate is used as an industrial solvent for plastics, resins, cellulose acetate, lacquers, inks and polishes. If you look at the MSDS for benzyl acetate you will find that it is mutagenic for mammalian somatic cells, may cause central nervous system damage, and has an acute oral toxicity (LD50) of 830 mg/kg in mice.

Many crops naturally contain pesticides, commonly of the alkaloid family. Caffeine in coffee and cola nuts; theobromine in chocolate and tea; theophylline in tea; piperine in black pepper; solanine in tomatoes and potatoes; nicotine in eggplants; capsaicin and derivatives in chili peppers etc.

All foods naturally contain miniscule amounts of mercury, arsenic, cadmium, radioactive potassium-40. All soils naturally contain small amounts of uranium and thorium and their decay products.

All fried or grilled foods naturally contain small amounts of oxidized fats(even vegetables contain some amount of unsaturated fat in their cell membranes).

All drinking water naturally contains fluoride, sometimes above the recommended dose recommended for optimal dental health(in which case the process of fluorination refers to the removal of fluoride from drinking water in that particular area).

Dose makes the poison.

Not to mention Wakefield's patenting of a different "vaccine" for measles more than a year before his "research" on the alleged link between MMR and autism............

Perhaps he'll munch on some monkshood. Or rhubarb leaves. Or nibble a few crocus, Hyacinth or Daffodil bulbs. Holly berries? A few azaleas? Yew? Oleander?
Oh sweet FSM, how stupid do you have to be to believe the natural = good crap?
 
The estimated excess deaths for Vioxx in the US was 27,785.

And what is most interesting about this is that nobody noticed. If it weren't for careful study specifically looking for this, we'd blithely continue to use Vioxx, unaware of this possible link. Supplements (i.e. the natural products so lauded by others) specifically lack this careful study, making them potentially far more harmful than anything used by Big Pharma.

That's still quite some downside to the drug. I do wonder though, does anyone have an estimate of:
a) The number of arthritis patients who gained significant and life-enhancing benefit from Vioxx?
b) The number of fatal gastro-intestinal bleeds that were averted because Vioxx was used in preference to other NSAIDS?

[or to put it another way:
a) How many arthritis patients were significantly more disabled, and
b) How many life-threatening or fatal GI bleeds occurred
when Vioxx was removed from production (and patients had to rely on inferior drugs or other NSAIDS which could cause GI bleeding)?]

The excess deaths due to AMI were in comparison to celecoxib, presumably in order to remove the effects of lives-saved due to Vioxx's use. Since the excess incidence of serious gastrointestinal events in the NSAID group exceeds the excess incidence of AMI in the rofecoxib group (2 to 3 times more serious GI events), patients overall were still better off taking rofecoxib. It may not have been withdrawn if an arguably safer alternative was not available.
