The Truth About The HPV Vaccine

The Truth About The HPV Vaccine

I received this bulletin in the mail from the National Vaccine Information Center, as I am a regular subscriber.  I feel it is important to stay up to date on vaccines since there is so much controversy about what parents should do for the health of their children.  In the past I have written here discussing the legalities of being able to go to school without being vaccinated and the truth about the law, vs. the story the schools will tell you or your medical doctor.  The truth is, you can go to public school if you haven't had your vaccinations, and you will simply need to present the school with a letter from your attorney stating that your belief system does not warrant getting vaccinated.  And the school has to honor that legally.

Recently you may have heard all the buzz in the news that the glorious state of Texas has made it manditory for all girls to get this new vaccine for HPV (human papilloma virus) by the time they are 11 years old.  This in an effort to "prevent" the likelihood of developing HPV and potentially the future risk of developing cervical cancer.  And as luck would have it, it just so happens that the lawmakers in the glorious state of Texas are major stock holders in the company that is manufacuring the vaccine.  As this is a serious conflict of interest, it made myself and many others wonder about this newest vaccine, and the ethical practices of those law makers.  So having received this most up to date information in the mail this week, I wanted to get it to you as soon as possible.

The following information is put out by the National Vaccine Information Center: www.NVIC.org

Get the facts about HPV and GARDASIL vaccine to make an informed decision:

1) HPV infection is naturally cleared by more than 90 percent of sexually active women and men but, rarely, HPV infection can become chronic.

2) Among high risk factors for chronic HPV infection are smoking; co-infections with herpes, chlamydia, or HIV; long term birth control pill use; multiple births.

3) Women chronically infected with HPV, who don't get pre-cancerous cervical lesions promptly identified and treated, can get cervical cancer and die.

4) After pap screening became routine in the 1950's, cervical cancer in the U.S. dropped 74 percent.

5) Less than one percent of all diagnosed cancer cases and cancer deaths in the U.S. every year involve cervical cancer.

6) Merck's GARDASIL vaccine was studied for several years in less than 1200 girls under age 16 and a few hundred girls age 11 or younger. 

7) GARDASIL contains only 2 of 15 HPV types associated with cervical cancer and its unknown if it will prevent cervical cancer long term or if it will increase the risk for those actively infected with HPV types in the vaccine.

8) Repoerted GARDASIL reactions include sudden collapse, seizures, facial paralysis, Guillain Barre Syndrome, arthritis, and other serious health problems.

9) It is unknown if GARDASIL will cause infertility, cancer or damage genes.

10) There is no pre-licensure data proving it is safe to give GARDASIL with most of the other vaccines for children.

Considering all 10 of these facts, my biggest concerns are the fact that in number 6 they have only studied this in 1200 girls.  And in number 7, they are only using 2 of the 15 HPV strains in the vaccine.  Therefore, the vaccine will only potentially prevent 2 of the 15 or 13.3 percent of the potential ability to contract HPV.  My thought would be to practice safe sex, eat healthy, and keep a highly functioning immune system by getting regular amounts of those nutrients that promote high immune function.  Things like the whole vitamin C Complex, plenty of calcium lactate, plenty of trace minerals all from Standard Process, and stay off of sugar.  By doing that on a daily basis, the likelihood of needing to concern yourself with HPV will be non-existent for you.  And all the potential side effects from this vaccine will have been avoided.  And how cool is that?

Your Choice

Health concerns are a major source of lost happiness and lost joy in all of our lives. Finding a solution that is agreeable and enables you to get back to your life is important. Please appreciate that you always have the more invasive surgery and prescription medication available to you as a last resort. What many Traditional Medical Doctors may not share is, many times, once you begin that journey into medication and/or surgery, it alters your original body from the one that you were born with. Unfortunately, at that time, more conservative and natural treatments may no longer be viable. I encourage you to consider that before making any decisions about treatment for your health. As always I am here to help. 
 
Your Choice:
 
  • Continue doing the same thing and nothing changes or it may get worse

OR

  • Try something different and get a different result that makes you happier and healthier.
