Paternal age and sperm DNA decay: discrepancy between chromomycin and aniline blue staining.Belloc S, Benkhalifa M, Junca AM, Dumont M, Bacrie PC, Ménézo Y.

The effect of paternal age on sperm DNA fragmentation and decondensation was determined in a retrospective study involving 1769 patients. TdT (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase)-mediated dUDP nick-end labelling (TUNEL) assay was used to assess fragmentation, and DNA decondensation was measured with either chromomycin or aniline blue staining. The impact of atypical forms was also analysed. DNA fragmentation increases with age, but is independent of the percentage of atypical forms. Both staining techniques revealed a negative correlation between the quality of sperm packaging and the percentage of atypical forms. Decondensation increases with increasing age and fragmentation when measured with chromomycin; however, an inverse relationship is observed when testing is performed using aniline blue. These observations are discussed in relation to the specificity of the dyes, the deposition of protamines and the impact of age and reactive oxygen species on protamine cross-linking.

Dr. Russell Blaylock: Vaccine May Be More Dangerous Than Swine Flu
What the good doctor say is true. Don’t be taken for a ride. So what if you catch this mild 3-4 days flu. It is even weaker than seasonal flu. We need to counter all the MSM propaganda BS that we should look to vaccines to save us! Dr Blaylock writes :

An outbreak of swine flu occurred in Mexico this spring that eventually affected 4,910 Mexican citizens and resulted in 85 deaths. By the time it spread to the United States, the virus caused only mild cases of flu-like illness.

Thanks to air travel and the failure of public health officials to control travel from Mexico, the virus spread worldwide. Despite predictions of massive numbers of deaths and the arrival of doomsday, the virus has remained a relatively mild disease, something we know happens each year with flu epidemics.

Worldwide, there have only been 311 deaths out of 70,893 cases of swine flu. In the United States, 27,717 cases have resulted in 127 deaths. Every death is a tragedy, but such a low death rate should not be the basis of a draconian government policy.

It is helpful to recall that the Centers for Disease Control with the collusion of the media, constantly tell us that 36,000 people die from the flu each year, a figure that has been shown to be a lie. In this case, we are talking about 300 plus deaths for the entire world.

This virus continues to be an enigma for virologists. In the April 30, 2009 issue of Nature, a virologist was quoted as saying,“Where the hell it got all these genes from we don’t know.” Extensive analysis of the virus found that it contained the original 1918 H1N1 flu virus, the avian flu virus (bird flu), and two new H3N2 virus genes from Eurasia. Debate continues over the possibility that swine flu is a genetically engineered virus.

Naturally, vaccine manufacturers have been in a competitive battle to produce the first vaccine. The main contenders have been Baxter Pharmaceuticals and Novartis Pharmaceuticals, the latter of which recently acquired the scandal-ridden Chiron vaccine company. Both of these companies have had agreements with the World Health Organization to produce a pandemic vaccine.

The Baxter vaccine, called Celvapan, has had fast track approval. It uses a new vero cell technology, which utilizes cultured cells from the African green monkey. This same animal tissue transmits a number of vaccine-contaminating viruses, including the HIV virus.

The Baxter company has been associated with two deadly scandals. The first event occurred in 2006 when hemophiliac components were contaminated with HIV virus and injected in tens of thousands of people, including thousands of children. Baxter continued to release the HIV contaminated vaccine even after the contamination was known.

The second event occurred recently when it was discovered that Baxter had released a seasonal flu vaccine containing the bird flu virus, which would have produced a real world pandemic, to 18 countries. Fortunately, astute lab workers in the Czech Republic discovered the deadly combination and blew the whistle before a worldwide disaster was unleashed.

Despite these two deadly events, WHO maintains an agreement with Baxter Pharmaceuticals to produce the world’s pandemic vaccine. Novartis, the second contender, also has an agreement with WHO for a pandemic vaccine. Novartis appears to have won the contract, since their vaccine is near completion. What is terrifying is that these pandemic vaccines contain ingredients, called immune adjuvants that a number of studies have shown cause devastating autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and lupus.

Animal studies using this adjuvant have found them to be deadly. A study using 14 guinea pigs found that when they were injected with the special adjuvant, only one animal survived. A repeat of the study found the same deadly outcome.

So, what is this deadly ingredient? It is called squalene, a type of oil. The Chiron company, maker of the deadly anthrax vaccine, makes an adjuvant called MF-59 which contains two main ingredients of concern—squalene and gp120. A number of studies have shown that squalene can trigger all of the above-mentioned autoimmune diseases when injected.

The MF-59 adjuvant has been used in several vaccines. These vaccines, including tetanus and diphtheria, are the same vaccines frequently associated with adverse reactions.

I reviewed a number of studies on this adjuvant and found something quite interesting. Several studies done on human test subjects found MF-59 to be a very safe immune adjuvant. But when I checked to see who did these studies, I found—to no surprise—that they were done by the Novartis Pharmaceutical Company and Chiron Pharmaceutical Company, which have merged. They were all published in “prestigious” medical journals. Also, to no surprise, a great number of studies done by independent laboratories and research institutions all found a strong link between MF-59 and autoimmune diseases.

Squalene in vaccines has been strongly linked to the Gulf War Syndrome. On August 1991, Anthony Principi, Secretary of Veterans Affairs admitted that soldiers vaccinated with the anthrax vaccine from 1990 to 1991 had an increased risk of 200 percent in developing the deadly disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig’s disease. The soldiers also suffered from a number of debilitating and life-shortening diseases, such as polyarteritis nodosa, multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, transverse myelitis (a neurological disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord), endocarditis (inflammation of the heart’s inner lining), optic neuritis with blindness and glomerulonephritis (a type of kidney disease).

Because squalene, the main ingredient in MF-59, can induce hyperimmune responses and induce autoimmunity, a real danger exists for prolonged activation of the brain’s immune cells, the microglia. This type of prolonged activation has been strongly associated with such diseases as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS and possibly vaccine-related encephalitis. It has been shown that activation of the systemic immune system, as occurs with vaccination, rapidly activates the brain’s microglia at the same time, and this brain inflammation can persist for long periods.

So, how would the gp120 get into the brain? Studies of other immune adjuvants using careful tracer techniques have shown that they routinely enter the brain following vaccination. What most people do not know, even the doctors who recommend the vaccines, is that most such studies by pharmaceutical companies observe the patients for only one to two weeks following vaccination—these types of reactions may take months or even years to manifest.

It is obvious that the vaccine manufacturers stand to make billions of dollars in profits from this WHO/government-promoted pandemic. Novartis, the maker of the new pandemic vaccine, recently announced that they would not give free vaccines to impoverished nations—everybody pays.

One must keep in mind that once the vaccine is injected, there is little you can do to protect yourself—at least by conventional medicine. It will mean a lifetime of crippling illness and early death.

There are much safer ways to protect oneself from this flu virus, such as higher doses of vitamin D3, selective immune enhancement using supplements, and a good diet.

A Potential But Controversial Fix For Genetic Disease

A Potential But Controversial Fix For Genetic Disease
LISTEN NOWBy Richard Harris— All Things ConsideredPublished August 26, 2009 4:00
Scientists in Oregon have developed a technique that could be used to prevent certain genetic diseases. They've demonstrated it in monkeys and are anxious to try it in people. The technique raises ethical questions, however, because it makes a permanent genetic change not just in an individual, but in all generations that follow.


The technique involves an unusual set of genes in the human body. Most of our genes are in our chromosomes, which are in the cell's inner sanctum, the nucleus. But 37 human genes are outside the nucleus. They are contained in tiny bodies called mitochondria, which float around in our cells. Mitochondria are the mini power plants for our cells. And mutations in the genes inside mitochondria can cause disease.

Shoukhrat Mitalipov and his colleagues at Oregon Health and Science University are trying to figure out how to treat this class of rare genetic diseases. They've been working with the eggs of rhesus monkeys. If you fix a genetic problem in an egg, you will fix it in all the cells the egg grows into — the whole animal.


"So, basically, we construct this experimental egg, which contains nuclear genes from one female, but mitochondrial genes from another female," he says.


In short, they can remove the nucleus from an egg that has defective mitochondrial genes, and put it into an egg that has healthy mitochondria. So the mother's chromosomes end up in an egg that has healthy mitochondria, albeit from a different female.


The technique worked quite well in monkeys, according to a study the journal Nature has published online. The researchers made this transfer with 15 eggs, fertilized them, and ended up with four baby monkeys.


"So what we showed is these manipulated eggs acted like normal eggs, and most importantly they resulted in births of healthy offspring," Mitalipov says.


The monkeys are only a few months old so far. It will take four or five years before the scientists know whether they are able to reproduce successfully. It could take even longer to notice any long-term health effects. But Mitalipov says he doesn't want to wait that long — he wants to try the technique in people.


To do that, he would need to convince the Food and Drug Administration that the technique is safe. And he will also have to deal with a key ethical issue. Art Caplan at the University of Pennsylvania says the issue is that modifying the genes in an egg doesn't merely affect one individual — the modification ends up in the eggs of the individuals, too.


"It goes on forever, because it's passed on from generation to generation," Caplan says.


This kind of manipulation is called "germ line" therapy, and it's been considered taboo. For one thing, if there are health risks, they will affect multiple generations. For another, it could open the door to genetically engineering a lineage of people with supposedly superior qualities. This is called eugenics, and many people find that repugnant.


"It does breach the principle: no germ line engineering," Caplan says. "It breaches a promise that many geneticists have made, that whatever else, they're not going down that road. I always thought that promise would be difficult to keep. This particular experiment shows why."


Caplan argues the egg manipulation in this case isn't seeking to make an improved person, just a healthy one. And he's OK with that.


But George Annas at Boston University is uneasy — both for ethical reasons and for practical ones.


"I don't think anything should be totally off the table, although this would be pretty extreme," he says. "I would probably have a presumption it shouldn't be done, and the burden of poof would be on the people who propose doing it: that it's safe, and that it's not going to create problems — not just for the children, but for the children's children."


Annas says it will take a lot more than just four apparently healthy baby monkeys to make that case.

Breakthrough on Gulf War Illness

Breakthrough on Gulf War Illness
By Paul M. Rodriguez
After a year of stonewalling by the DOD, a new study at the prestigious Tulane University Medical School confirms that victims of a mysterious sickness may have been poisoned. It started with a telephone call nearly two years ago, a call with a question not yet fully answered: How did antibodies to a chemical compound called squalene get into the bloodstreams of sick soldiers who served overseas during the Persian Gulf War, and even of some whose service during that era never took them outside of the United States? . . . . The sick soldiers had one thing in common -- they all had received a full complement of military immunizations. And with that in mind, laboratories contacted by Insight began searching for allied clues related to the so-called Gulf War Syndrome.. . . . Now, after nearly 18 months of intensive study, checking and rechecking related data, the prestigious Tulane University Medical Center School of Medicine's department of microbiology and immunology, in New Orleans, has confirmed test results first reported by this magazine a year ago.. . . . According to Tulane, antibodies to squalene indeed do appear in the bloodstreams of the sick veterans -- in fact, the sicker the veteran, the higher the level of such antibodies.. . . . Tulane's final laboratory results are highly significant. Although squalene is a naturally occurring substance in the human body, associated with cholesterol, the presence of the antibodies strongly suggests that an outside antigen -- or medical cause -- is involved here. When Insight first reported the presence of the squalene antibodies, the Defense Department resisted the findings, suggesting that some human condition gone awry might explain them. Certainly that speculation no longer will do.. . . . "Yes, it's pretty significant," says Russell B. Wilson, president of Autoimmune Technologies, LLC, a medical marketing and research firm in New Orleans hired by Tulane to publicize and market its groundbreaking research into squalene antibodies. "We're not saying we know how [the antibodies] got there [in the sick soldiers], but we are saying we have proof positive of an objective marker that they do exist.". . . . Robert Garry, the widely respected lead scientist at Tulane's department of microbiology and immunology, whose peer-reviewed medical experiments led to the assay that confirms the presence of squalene antibodies, modestly describes his findings to Insight as important. "We can say for certain now that these antibodies do exist in sick soldiers we've tested," Garry says.. . . . "How this plays into the illnesses of these patients will require more work, but certainly this is an important marker to begin conducting research," he adds. "We're not saying we know how or what caused the antibodies to appear, but we now can confirm they do exist and that further testing certainly is in order to find out why, because it would be extremely remote that such antibodies would appear as a result of natural causes.". . . . Put another way, according to Wilson, himself a Ph.D. in cellular microbiology, it is unlikely these antibodies to squalene resulted from a naturally occurring cellular dysfunction in the human body. "The objective marker Tulane has discovered suggests other causes," Wilson says. "It suggests they were induced from an outside source.". . . . And so the mystery deepens. From the beginning of Insight's investigation, the DOD has mustered statements from Secretary of Defense William Cohen down to the various surgeons general of the armed forces and the Veterans Administration and Walter Reed Army Medical Center denying any knowledge, let alone responsibility, for this presence of squalene antibodies. One reason for the nervousness at the Pentagon, as congressional investigators and top military brass privately have told this magazine, is that any linkage between the DOD and the discovery of the antibodies could suggest that some experimental vaccine was given to soldiers just before the war began in 1991.. . . . Although the DOD vehemently denied it ever had used anything other than alum-based immunizations on American troops, Insight learned 18 months ago that in fact DOD medical experts had been working secretly for several years developing an alternative and more powerful substance to help make certain immunizing drugs work more effectively and faster. Such compounds are called adjuvants. Because these compounds can so powerfully affect the body, alum is the only U.S.-approved adjuvant for humans.. . . . However, in the experimental fields of medicine, cutting-edge biochemical therapies are worked on every day, including alternative adjuvants to alum. Their use on humans is strictly controlled and only permitted with government approval in advanced scientific research. Squalene is one such experimental adjuvant. A powerful immune stimulant, it has been tested at Walter Reed and the National Institutes of Health for treatment of herpes, malaria and AIDS.. . . . Indeed, Walter Reed not only is the only known U.S. government manufacturer of squalene, but it has been using squalene in secret anti-HIV tests in Thailand for a number of years. Yet when Insight first began probing squalene antibodies as a possible cause for some of the gulf-war sicknesses, the DOD and Walter Reed denied ever using squalene. They denied even knowing that such an adjuvant existed or that it was one of a series of high-tech experimental "medicines" undergoing tests by the military. Only after this magazine reported the preliminary test results on the sick vets -- without identifying the role of Tulane's medical laboratory -- did the DOD finally acknowledge its experiments with squalene. But for two years DOD officials steadfastly have denied that they ever administered any secret vaccines to gulf-war soldiers or that they administered anything not approved by the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA.. . . . Despite repeated requests from this magazine and from interested lawmakers, DOD officials also have refused on the record so much as to investigate whether squalene antibodies have in fact been found in the sick soldiers. The response has been: We never used it, it's only a theory -- and therefore we don't need to pursue it. Moreover, DOD officials have waged a major behind-the-scenes campaign for the better part of a year to try to discredit Insight's initial reports about these matters. "They came in and briefed us and told us your story was full of shit," said a senior aide on the House Veterans' Affairs Committee. Rep. Chris Shays, a Connecticut Republican who chairs the Government Reform and Oversight subcommittee on Human Resources, says that when he tried to look into the issue he was assured there was nothing to it.. . . . Shays and members of the Veterans' Affairs and Armed Services committees who had promised to pursue the mystery of the squalene antibodies all ran into the DOD's disinformation campaign. Also, the initial test results Insight reported were just that. Without a peer-reviewed paper in a scientific journal to confirm details or the name of the laboratory conducting the research, the DOD flacks managed to stonewall and cast doubt on the story.. . . . Another and equally important reason the issue was dropped, according to congressional and DOD officials, was a campaign directed at a Tennessee immunologist named Pamela Asa. She was the first to advance the theory that one of the causes of so many unexplained illnesses in gulf-war vets might be an autoimmune dysfunction caused by immunizations. Because she is not a nationally renowned scientist like Garry, it was suggested that she could not be taken seriously by DOD and her theory was bunk. Behind the scenes, DOD secretly commissioned a "study" three years ago that, according to a high-level DOD medical scientist, was designed to bury the Asa theory when she became "a pain in our butt, calling around and causing trouble." That "study" lay dormant until Insight broke the initial squalene story. DOD officials then trotted it out as "proof" that not only was her theory wacky but there was no medical basis for claims that an "unknown adjuvant" might be one of the causes of so much sickness.. . . . Contrary to the odd picture painted by the DOD, however, the Pentagon never did an exhaustive study on whether an experimental squalene adjuvant was used on soldiers, let alone the theory of adjuvants' disease. What DOD commissioned was a study concerning the plausibility of the theory that adjuvants could have had any role in making so many soldiers sick. Since the study's authors were told that only alum was used, the research paper concluded that Asa's theory was not plausible.. . . . The DOD even put out press releases and Internet messages arguing that because it never used squalene in any immunizations during the Persian Gulf War, the Insight story must have been based on bogus test procedures that simply picked up molecular traces of the naturally occurring squalene.. . . . Meanwhile, in the intervening year, Tulane's Garry and his team quietly continued to perfect their testing protocol and systematically eliminated possibilities put forth by DOD. Scientific literature reviewed shows that squalene could not be absorbed orally or topically. And Tulane determined that production of antibodies to a naturally occurring substance in the human body would be remote, if not virtually impossible.. . . . "I think you would discover that life exists on Mars before you could believe these [antibodies] were naturally occurring," says Garry. "My God, the human body is a very tough customer from a cellular biological perspective. Even people who were exposed to radiation from World War II did not show basic changes in their molecular biology." . . . . Rep. Jack Metcalf, a Washington Republican, dissatisfied with the shaky DOD responses, called on the General Accounting Office for an investigation. The yearlong GAO probe, though still confidential, has not found evidence that the DOD used squalene in immunizations given to gulf-war troops. But its investigators are troubled by the confusing and incomplete facts offered by DOD concerning the now-undeniable presence of squalene antibodies. In the as-yet-unpublished report, the GAO has recommended that Congress conduct hearings.. . . . "The responses and documents obtained by GAO closely tracked what you at Insight got," says one of more than two dozen sources familiar with both the GAO probe and the medical tests conducted by Tulane's medical department. "First the DOD said they didn't have [squalene]; then they said they did but never used it; then they said they used it but only after the war; then they admitted they had manufactured it prior to the war but claimed they never used it; then it was confirmed that it has been used overseas in trials for a number of years; then, well, you get the picture," says one of these Insight sources.. . . . Tulane's confirmation contains immense implications, according to several DOD, congressional and government scientists. "What this tells us is that something containing squalene was exposed to these patients," says Asa, who long has suspected that with good intentions but disastrous results the military administered an unknown experimental vaccine just prior to the Persian Gulf War.. . . . No evidence yet has surfaced to confirm this scenario, say those who have investigated the mystery of the squalene antibodies. And a highly sensitive DOD often makes this point in response to media inquiries. However, based partly on the medical tests and partly on DOD's contradictory responses concerning squalene's uses in experimental sciences, a number of medical, military, laboratory and veterans groups now are skeptical -- and nervous -- about the possibility that something that went awry is being hidden.. . . . Veterans' fears are not being assuaged by DOD's refusal to release records involving its experiments with squalene -- nor is there comfort in its refusal to release details of what its various vaccines during the gulf war contained. The FDA, reportedly at the request of DOD, has declined to provide any information whatsoever related to those vaccines -- even to the GAO.. . . . "They have created an air of mystery by their actions that has certainly raised suspicions," a government official says. "Even if they are innocent, they have acted so guilty as to raise questions. It would be such a simple thing to just go and test for these antibodies." Indeed, to Garry, Asa and hundreds of gulf-war vets who have volunteered for strict double- and triple-blind tests for squalene antibodies as administered by Tulane's Medical School, these actions by the military are deeply troubling. "I don't understand their position," confesses Garry, who often has worked with DOD and other government agencies. "They could have taken our testing protocol and quickly determined if there was any validity to the allegation.". . . . Many of the DOD officials interviewed by Insight, as well as those interviewed by the GAO, have gone to extraordinary lengths to distance the Pentagon from the issue of the squalene antibodies. One reason advanced by many of the veterans and their families may have to do with the way several hundred of the sick soldiers were treated immediately after the gulf war and ever since. Scores of them were placed in Walter Reed's special HIV ward and isolated even from their doctors by personnel brought in from special DOD units to conduct medical evaluations based on AIDS-related symptoms. Many of these patients not only never learned what the specialist teams discovered, or for that matter what they failed to find, but they were required to submit to further semiannual HIV-examination testing procedures for many years without explanation.. . . . Metcalf says the reasons behind any stonewalling are not nearly so important as getting help to thousands of sick gulf-war soldiers. "I have been deeply concerned about this issue since it was first brought to my attention by veterans suffering from gulf-war illnesses," he says in a statement prepared for Insight. "They had read the news reports about blood samples of some Gulf War-era veterans containing antibodies to squalene. They want to know the truth about why they are sick." . . . . Metcalf continues, "I believe that any legitimate research that could provide clues as to the nature and treatment of their illnesses must be pursued vigorously. I asked the GAO to look into the issue ... and to determine if there was any possibility that veterans had received squalene and to determine if the reported research was valid.". . . . The magnitude of the problem is considerable. "With over 100,000 of our veterans suffering, the DOD history of foot-dragging and obfuscation on this issue is inexcusable," Metcalf says. "The GAO study tells us that we can spend just a few thousand dollars and possibly unravel the mystery of gulf-war illnesses. We have a moral obligation to stand with the honorable men and women who sacrificed for this nation in their search for effective treatment ... and I demand DOD act on the GAO recommendations." Calls to DOD for official comment were not returned. . . . . Anatomy of a Discovery: Leading University Confirms Suspicions. . . . It was nearly seven years ago. By a quirk of fate, a shipping label accidentally was left on a batch of test tubes containing blood specimens taken from sick vets. The squalene mystery began to unfold.. . . . At the time, U.S. soldiers returning home were complaining about strange illnesses. Defense Department and Veterans Administration officials said there were no medical reasons for their sickness. No chemical or biological weapons had been used in theater, nor were there nuclear-related reasons. But more and more veterans, initially those who served overseas and then those who never left the United States, complained of autoimmune ailments that had no known cause. And more and more the soldiers were told their illnesses were psychological or possibly related to a combination of desert heat and allergy to insecticides -- and not to worry. What was occurring behind the scenes, however, told another story, according to a two-year investigation by Insight into the discovery of antibodies to squalene in the blood of the sick.. . . . As it worked feverishly in public to deny any link between the odd illnesses and symptoms reported by a growing number of soldiers who served during the gulf war, medical personnel inside the military and the VA were working quietly to determine whether something indeed was causing gulf-era soldiers to fall ill and, in a growing number of cases, to die for unexplained reasons.. . . . While the Pentagon denied that a secret arsenal had been unleashed by Iraq on U.S. forces in theater, Walter Reed Army Medical Center was working on a variety of theories involving possible biological or chemical weaponry.. . . . In one of many experiments -- conducted without the knowledge of soldiers, family and (in many cases) even the patient's doctors -- teams of medical specialists secretly obtained blood samples of sick veterans. In one case, blood collected from sick gulf-war soldiers was shipped to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, where specialists in environmental sciences were asked to determine if anything unusual could be detected in the samples. At the request of a doctor at Walter Reed who worked in the HIV experimental-sciences section, Johns Hopkins was asked to conduct unusual but very specific tests for an autoimmune disease -- notwithstanding that the DOD had denied it was searching for such a cause.. . . . Enter Tulane University Medical School and Dr. Robert Garry. Unable to conduct the specialized tests requested, Johns Hopkins made arrangements with Garry, a noted retrovirologist, to test for HIAP (Human Intracisternal A-type Retroviral Particle), a medical marker associated with autoimmune diseases believed to be linked with HIV, the AIDS precursor. To conduct such tests, Tulane was sent blood samples drawn from sick vets. Garry initially believed these came from Johns Hopkins. It was not for several years, when checking a saved shipping label to answer a reporter's questions, that Garry and Tulane realized the blood samples had come via Hopkins from the Walter Reed physician who worked on HIV.. . . . Garry examined the blood and reported negative findings to Johns Hopkins -- which, in turn, so informed Walter Reed. When he had finished his research for Johns Hopkins in the early 1990s, Garry called to determine what to do with the blood samples still on hand. He was told to do whatever he cared to: Since the tests were negative, Johns Hopkins said that neither it nor its client needed them returned.. . . . Unknown to Johns Hopkins, as well as Walter Reed, Garry's laboratory froze the samples and locked them away until 1997, when Pamela Asa began looking for clues about the possible causes of Gulf War Syndrome. She had theorized that an unrevealed vaccine or vaccine component such as an adjuvant might be contributing to the illnesses reported by sick soldiers.. . . . Over many months of testing, Asa zeroed in on squalene as an experimental adjuvant that the military might have used to protect soldiers from biological- or chemical-warfare agents. Knowing of Garry's work in the polymer sciences, she contacted the Tulane expert and they began a loose collaboration, sharing information and conducting tests on patients to search for clues.. . . . When Insight began investigating Asa's theory of possible squalene-related causes, Garry had just begun working on a protocol test based on blood he obtained from sick soldiers. Remembering he had received similar samples a few years earlier via Johns Hopkins, he also started testing the older samples. It was then that the antibodies to squalene began to be detected -- Asa's theory was beginning to show promise.. . . . Tracking doctors involved in experimental medicine at Walter Reed, Insight came across the name of the military doctor mentioned by chance to Garry, who remembered the same doctor had shipped the Johns Hopkins blood samples to him. When the original shipping labels and medical-test orders were reviewed -- like the blood samples, the meticulous Garry had saved the shipping labels and instructions -- Garry's memory was confirmed: It was the same doctor, a medical specialist at Walter Reed's advanced-sciences section, who had been working for years on experimental AIDS vaccines in Thailand using squalene as a possible adjuvant. Further checks of confidential military records also confirmed that Walter Reed was the only known manufacturer of this experimental substance on record.. . . . Working with his forgotten but now invaluable consignment of early vet blood samples supplied by Johns Hopkins via Walter Reed, Garry and his team at Tulane went forward with their protocol to search for squalene. After months of testing using both natural and synthetic forms of the adjuvant, the protocol confirmed the presence of squalene antibodies in the blood of only the sick soldiers -- both those who served overseas and also sick veterans who served during the era but never got to the Middle East. The only link was that all got their full complement of immunizations.. . . . Along the road to discovery, however, there were some bumps. At one point the Garry tests did not detect naturally produced squalene, only the synthetic form. This seemed odd and was pounced upon by DOD officials when Insight reported the initial test results. Over time, however, Garry realized that, unless it is very fresh, naturally occurring squalene will begin to break down at a molecular level. With fresh supplies of naturally occurring squalene on hand, the tests still came back positive, just as they had (and should have) with the synthetic squalene samples.. . . . Garry began to refine his protocol and continued testing until both he and Tulane, along with Asa and her laboratories, were confident of the testing procedures and results. Because of the importance of the study, Tulane and Garry agreed to file a patent jointly with Asa and to submit their findings separately to peer-reviewed medical/science journals.. . . . Once all these elements were put together, Insight was released from its pledge of confidentiality. In the next few days, supported by the General Accounting Office's separate investigation and the soon-to-be published results of the laboratory findings reported here, Washington Republican Rep. Jack Metcalf will be asking for full-blown hearings by the House Veterans' Affairs and Armed Services committees.

Million TIMES More SqualeneIn H1N1 Vax Than Caused GWI

Million TIMES More SqualeneIn H1N1 Vax Than Caused GWI !!
Rense.com ExclusiveFrom Gary Jacobucci 8-25-9

Dr. Laibow's presentation on squalene during the second hour of your program last night, 8-24, was impressive. In looking for some verification of the 'million-times more squalene' than was in 'Vaccine A' that caused the catastrophic Gulf War I Illness (which ruined the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops and killed thousands of others -ed), I came across this article...

What's The Danger of Swine Flu Vaccinations?
By Dr. Anders Bruun Laursen

"...So, as you see, there is no confusion with regard to swine flu and bird flu viruses. But there is another important consideration: the role of squalene.

The average quantity of squalene injected into the US soldiers abroad and at home in the anthrax vaccine during and after the Gulf War was 34.2 micrograms per billion micrograms of water. According to one study, this was the cause othe Gulf War syndrom in 25% of 697.000 US personnel at home and abroad. (3). You can find this table of FDA analyses from the Gulf War lots on The Military Vaccine Resource Directory website (4)

a.. AVA 020 - 11 ppb squalene (parts per billion)
> b.. AVA 030 - 10 ppb squalene
> c.. AVA 038 - 27 ppb squalene
> d.. AVA 043 - 40 ppb squalene
> e.. AVA 047 - 83 ppb squalene

These values were confirmed by Prof. R. F. Garry (5) before the House of Representatives. Prof Garry was the man to discover the connection between the Gulf War syndrome and squalene.

According to his findings, the Gulf War syndrome was caused by squalene, which was banned by a Federal Court Judge in 2004 from the PentagonZs use. (6)
As seen on p. 6 of this EMEA document (7), the Pandremix vaccine contains 10,68 mg of squalene per 0,5 ml. This corresponds to 2.136.0000 microgrammes pr. billion microgrammes of water, i.e. one million times more squalene per dose than in (4). There is any reason to believe that this will make people sick to a much higher extent than in 1990/91. This appears murderous to me."

Then, in looking for some confirmation on Novartis putting gp 120 (an HIV/AIDS protein) in their vaccines, I found the following...
The Vaccine May Be More Dangerous Than Swine Flu
By Dr Russell Blaylock

vaccine-may-be-more-dangerous-than-swine-flu/

"...Novartis, the second contender, also has an agreement with WHO for a pandemic vaccine. Novartis appears to have won the contract, since their vaccine is near completion. What is terrifying is that these pandemic vaccines contain ingredients, called immune adjuvants that a number of studies have shown cause devastating autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and lupus.

Animal studies using this adjuvant have found them to be deadly. A study using 14 guinea pigs found that when they were injected with the special adjuvant, only one animal survived. A repeat of the study found the same deadly outcome.

So, what is this deadly ingredient? It is called squalene, a type of oil. The Chiron company, maker of the deadly anthrax vaccine, makes an adjuvant called MF-59 which contains two main ingredients of concern-squalene and gp120. A number of studies have shown that squalene can trigger all of the above-mentioned autoimmune diseases when injected.

The MF-59 adjuvant has been used in several vaccines. These vaccines, including tetanus and diphtheria, are the same vaccines frequently associated with adverse reactions.

I reviewed a number of studies on this adjuvant and found something quite interesting. Several studies done on human test subjects found MF-59 to be a very safe immune adjuvant. But when I checked to see who did these studies, I found-to no surprise-that they were done by the Novartis Pharmaceutical Company and Chiron Pharmaceutical Company, which have merged. They were all published in "prestigious" medical journals. Also, to no surprise, a great number of studies done by independent laboratories and research institutions all found a strong link between MF-59 and autoimmune diseases.

Squalene in vaccines has been strongly linked to the Gulf War Syndrome. On August 1991, Anthony Principi, Secretary of Veterans Affairs admitted that soldiers vaccinated with the anthrax vaccine from 1990 to 1991 had an increased risk of 200 percent in developing the deadly disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig's disease. The soldiers also suffered from a number of debilitating and life-shortening diseases, such as polyarteritis nodosa, multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, transverse myelitis (a neurological disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord), endocarditis (inflammation of the heart's inner lining), optic neuritis with blindness and glomerulonephritis (a type of kidney disease).

The second ingredient, and one that greatly concerns me, is called gp120, a glycoprotein. Researchers found when it was mixed with squalene, the glycoprotein became strongly antigenic - that is, it produced a powerful and prolonged immune response to the vaccination. In fact, their studies show that with each dose, the intense immune reaction lasts over a year.

Now for the shocker-the glycoprotein-gp120, a major component of MF-59 vaccine adjuvant, is the same protein fragment isolated from HIV - the virus that is responsible for the rapid dementia seen in AIDS patients.

Studies have shown that when gp120 is taken up by the microglia cells in the brain, it causes intense inflammation and makes the brain subject to excitotoxic damage-a process called immunoexcitotoxicity. This is also the cause of the MS and optic neuritis associated with vaccines that contain MF-59.

So, how would the gp120 get into the brain? Studies of other immune adjuvants using careful tracer techniques have shown that they routinely enter the brain following vaccination. What most people do not know, even the doctors who recommend the vaccines, is that most such studies by pharmaceutical companies observe the patients for only one to two weeks following vaccination-these types of reactions may take months or even years to manifest.

It is obvious that the vaccine manufacturers stand to make billions of dollars in profits from this WHO/government-promoted pandemic. Novartis, the maker of the new pandemic vaccine, recently announced that they would not give free vaccines to impoverished nations-everybody pays.

One must keep in mind that once the vaccine is injected, there is little you can do to protect yourself-at least by conventional medicine. It will mean a lifetime of crippling illness and early death.

There are much safer ways to protect oneself from this flu virus, such as higher doses of vitamin D3, selective immune enhancement using supplements, and a good diet." End of excerpt by Dr. Blaylock.

Older fathers?

http://www.saultstar.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1712847


Best before
Posted By MARILYN LINTON, SUN MEDIA
Posted 12 hours ago
Do men have a best-before date when it comes to fathering kids? Ridiculous, most of us would answer. Just look at these celebrity old guys who became dads in their 50's, 60's, and beyond: Charlie Chaplin at 73; former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau at 72, Pablo Picasso at 68; Larry King at 65; Warren Beatty at 63; and Dave Letterman at 56.
"Women are born with a fixed number of oocytes," says Dr. Bernard Robaire, describing the female germ cells crucial to reproduction. The McGill University researcher who is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research or CIHR, says that men have no such limitation. Unlike women who, after the age of 35 find it more difficult to get pregnant, men produce 1,000 sperm a heartbeat - about 100 million sperm each day.
Theoretically speaking, then, men can go forth and multiply forever - or as long as their hearts beat. "The argument has always been that because men keep producing sperm that are fresh all the time it makes no difference whether you have sperm from an 85 year old man or a 35 year old man," says Robaire.
However, there's a growing body of research that suggests there may be limits to men's fertility, too. Recent studies have shown that men over the age of 40 have a lower chance of producing children than their younger counterparts. And they have an elevated risk of having children with autism, bipolar disease and schizophrenia.
In addition to concerns about mental illness, some studies have also shown that children born to older fathers score lower on intelligence tests. One study found that the incidence of down syndrome was related to sperm approximately 50% of the time.
"What we found was that if you put old males with young females the development of the embryos was different," says Robaire, explaining his work with lab rats. "We found a change in the weight of the embryos, but what was most striking was an increase in the post-natal death right after birth. Development was not normal.
"It seems that, as men age, the quality of their sperm changes," he explains. "The sperm's swimming ability changes, and the quality of its DNA decreases." So even though men continue to produce fresh sperm, the quality suffers because the sperm, which come from aging stem cells in the testes, accumulate oxidative damage over time.
"Fertility doesn't decline - only the quality of the sperm," he stresses. So is there a biological clock for men? "Yes, because a biological clock doesn't just refer to the number of sperm produced but also their quality." Robaire adds that there are many older men who produce children who are normal in every way. Nonetheless, studies show that the best age for perfect sperm is under 40.
With older men increasingly fathering children, the issue of sperm quality needs to be heard, says Robaire. "All our worries are about women having kids over the age of 35. But a man's sperm quality decreases with age and so therefore do the chances of his children being normal."
Maybe there should be screening for a 60 year old male's sperm, he says. "We have tests for women, but a 25 year-old woman married to a 60 year old wouldn't have an amniocentesis (a prenatal test that diagnoses chromosomal problems and birth defects.) We have to develop a good method of assessing the quality of the payload that is being delivered to the egg."

Late bloomers spark intellectual debate
There are some benefits for men who head into parenthood later in life, according to psychologist Ross D. Park. They felt more self-confidence in their roles, are more likely to engage in caregiving and their kids report feeling more appreciated.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown became a father after the age of 50. He told media after the birth of his son John in 2003 that he was adapting well to sleepless nights -- joking "this time not because of the economy."
Become an older dad can also be the impetus for a few new tricks.
Former U.S. presidential candidate and Law & Order actor Fred Thompson, 67, who has two children under age five and said having two young children was " a large part" of why he ran for office.
But research also shows that children of older dad also score lower on intelligence tests during infancy and early childhood, according to a study done at the Queensland Brain Institute of the University of Queensland in Australia.
The study published in March found the older the father, the more likely the child was to score lower on the tests 00 except for one measure of motor skills.
"There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that the sperm of older dads develops more mutations, that is, spelling mistakes in the DNA code," says researcher John McGrath.

Illegal vaccine link to Gulf war syndrome (with squalene)

Illegal vaccine link to Gulf war syndrome

Paul Brown, environment correspondentMonday July 30, 2001The Guardian http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,529534,00.html
The illness known as Gulf war syndrome looks likely to have been caused by an illegal vaccine "booster" given by the Ministry of Defence to protect soldiers against biological weapons, according to the results of a new series of tests.
Scientists in the United States found that symptoms of the illness were the same for service personnel who received the injections whether or not they served in the Gulf.
The common factor for the 275,000 British and US veterans who are ill appears to be a substance called squalene, allegedly used in injections to add to their potency. Such an action would have been illegal. Squalene is not licensed for use on either side of the Atlantic because of potential side effects.
Pam Asa and her team at the Tulane medical school in Louisiana tested more than 300 former US military personnel who were given vaccinations to go to the Gulf: 95% tested positive for squalene antibodies.
In addition veterans from both sides of the Atlantic were tested, including 20 who were given preparatory injections but who did not go to the war. All 20 tested positive to squalene antibodies.
The first non-deployed British sufferer to be tested, Anwen Humphreys, was also found to have antibodies.
Dr Asa said in her view the fact that even non-deployed veterans were testing positive for squalene provided conclusive evidence that vaccinations were a "major cause" of the condition. It ruled out the alternative environmental theories floated as causes of Gulf war syndrome.
"I believe that those people who were given vaccinations in the US and the UK were given something they should not have been, probably in the anthrax vaccine. [The results] need a thorough examination by the US and UK governments."
Squalene is classed as an ad juvant - a chemical which is added to a vaccine to make it more combative. It is a naturally occurring substance in the human body but injecting it is illegal, and past scientific research in rats and mice has found that it causes auto-immune disease. Consequently, squalene in the form of a vaccine is unlicensed for human or veterinary use.
The evidence could be devastating for the Ministry of Defence which is being sued for damages by 1,900 British veterans. If they show they were injected with an illegal substance, the damages could be astronomical. The ministry has refused to reveal what was in the injections.
Ms Humphreys, 39, from Dolgellau, north Wales, who suffers typical symptoms of the syndrome - severe headaches, nausea, muscular pain, joint swelling, short term memory loss and depression - said: "I believe the MoD has used us like guinea pigs to see how effective squalene is.
"There are no words to describe what they have done. It's just medically, morally and ethically wrong."
She says she feels "cheated" by the MoD. "I was always one of these people who said that there is no way they would experiment with our vaccinations."
Ms Humphreys' story is being told tonight on the Welsh-language current affairs programme, Y Byd Ar Bedwar, (The World On Four), on S4C. The US defence department has strongly denied Dr Asa's claims.
Lewis Moonie, a junior minister responsible for veterans, said: "To the best of my knowledge no squalene was given to any member of the British forces at the time of the Gulf war."
The Ministry of Defence has so far refused to disclose what was in the injections and defence scientists are carrying out experiments on animals to see what effects the Gulf war injections could have. The results will not be known until 20

GULF WAR TOXINS IN SWINE FLU VACCINE

RISK: Squalene has been blamed for Gulf War syndrome
Sunday August 23,2009
By Lucy Johnston
THE new swine flu vaccine ­contains a deadly brain toxin linked to autism, Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis.
Mercury, a vaccine preservative, was withdrawn from childhood jabs five years ago after evidence linked it to brain damage.
However, the Sunday Express has discovered the pandemic ­vaccine, to be rolled out across the country within weeks, contains the heavy metal.
It also contains a chemical called squalene, used to stimulate the immune system to respond to the vaccine. Some scientists believe squalene is linked to autoimmune illnesses including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

What’s the Danger of Swine Flu Vaccinations?

What’s the Danger of Swine Flu Vaccinations?
Posted on Aug 21, 2009 by Paul Martin

by Dr. Anders Bruun Laursen
August 20, 2009


There seems to be quite a lot of uncertainty about the technical nature of Swine Flu (H1N1) vaccines.

As a medical doctor, I wish to clarify a number of improtant issues: First, we should talk about vaccines instead of vaccine, since the vaccines vary as for their compositions and even their ways of being dispensed: some by injection, another by the nose.


I think the fears as for the vaccines can be referred to:

1. the adjuvants – in particular squalene which was in all probability responsible for the Gulf War syndrome,

2. the virus antigen´s condition (dead, attenuated, live)

3. a deeply rooted mistrust in our politicians and the vaccine producers´ motives and morals: e.g. Baxter´s live bird flu virus last Winter (12), the Bayer AIDS haemophiliac product scandal (15).

First it is necessary to understand, that pandemic vaccines are made according to two procedures:

1. The Developement of a totally new vaccine from scratch. This takes more time, administration and testing than mock up vaccines (see below).

2. A Mock-up vaccine is a vaccine with all the adjuvants of the pandemic vaccine – but without the killed or attenuated pandemic virus. (1) This virus is – until the pandemic virus is known – a different, attenuated known potentially pandemic virus, in the case of the Pandemrix vaccine for the EU it is an attenuated H5N1 bird flu virus. This is the mock-up vaccine. When the nature of the pandemic swine flu virus (H1N1) is known, it replaces the H5N1 virus in an attenuated form, the adjuvants being left unchanged.

Until now mock-up vaccine test-vaccinations have been going on on voluntary ”human guinea pigs.” Since most of the contents of the vaccine has already been approved, the approval of the pandemic vaccine is easier to implement.

After the exchange of virus in the vaccine, the company will have to apply for a ”variation”. However, this is just a matter of form, since such a variation approval is given by the EU within 5 days – which means that there is no objective testing of the vaccine requiring official approval. The safety is entirely left to the vaccine producer, who has been granted immunity to actions of damages due to expected side effects (2).

So, as you see, there is no confusion with regard to swine flu and bird flu viruses. But there is another important consideration: the role of squalene.

The average quantity of squalene injected into the US soldiers abroad and at home in the anthrax vaccine during and after the Gulf War was 34.2 micrograms per billion micrograms of water. According to one study, this was the cause othe Gulf War syndrom in 25% of 697.000 US personnel at home and abroad. (3). You can find this table of FDA analyses from the Gulf War lots on The Military Vaccine Resource Directory website (4)

a.. AVA 020 - 11 ppb squalene (parts per billion)

> b.. AVA 030 - 10 ppb squalene

> c.. AVA 038 - 27 ppb squalene

> d.. AVA 043 - 40 ppb squalene

> e.. AVA 047 - 83 ppb squalene

These values were confirmed by Prof. R. F. Garry (5) before the House of Representatives. Prof Garry was the man to discover the connection between the Gulf War syndrome and squalene.

According to his findings, the Gulf War syndrome was caused by squalene, which was banned by a Federal Court Judge in 2004 from the Pentagon´s use. (6)

As seen on p. 6 of this EMEA document (7), the Pandremix vaccine contains 10,68 mg of squalene per 0,5 ml. This corresponds to 2.136.0000 microgrammes pr. billion microgrammes of water, i.e. one million times more squalene per dose than in (4). There is any reason to believe that this will make people sick to a much higher extent than in 1990/91. This appears murderous to me.

I have contacted the Danish National Health Service: They are to decree mass vaccinations in Denmark - and yet they knew nothing about the composition of the Pandremix vaccine.

Then I addressed the Danish Medicinal Agency. They admitted that the Pandremix vaccine from GlaxoSmithKline does contain squalene and thimerosal. They have not rejected my remark that the squalene concentration is dangerous. In contrast, the AstraZeneca MedImmune nasal vaccination (8) avoids squalene side effects.

So far the use of squalene has been banned by the FDA in the US according to Der Spiegel (9). However, this may not last long (10).

“Clearly bypassing the FDA requirements for safety testing of these new adjuvants and the vaccines which contain them puts the entire population at risk for serious, possibly life threatening side effects, particularly any of the 12,000 paid trial participants (6,000 children) who are unfortunate enough to be randomized into the adjuvant containing groups.”

Still, on July 23, 2009, the FDA announced, “Currently, no U.S. licensed vaccine contains the adjuvants MF-59 or ASO3 (squalene). It is expected that a novel influenza A (H1N1) vaccine manufactured using the same process as U.S. licensed seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine but administered with MF-59 or ASO3 will be authorized for emergency use only.”

Furthermore, “Two of the manufacturers (Novartis and GSK) have proprietary oil-in-water adjuvants (MF-59 and ASO3, respectively) which have been evaluated in a number of clinical studies including studies with influenza vaccines. These manufacturers will include an evaluation of the utility of the adjuvant for dose sparing and higher effect in their clinical studies.“

“The same document indicates that vaccines containing the un-approved adjuvants will be given to 100 children 6 months to 3 years old, 100 children 3 years old to 8 years, 100 individuals 18 to 64 years old and 100 individuals 65 and older in each of the multiple clinical trials. In addition, 700 individuals in each trial will be given non-adjuvanted vaccine”.

Now for the immunological side effects of squalene to occur takes months to years – and cannot be evaluated after up to 6 weeks of observation. Der Spiegel (9) calls the mass vaccinations on Europeans a gigantic cost free experiment to provide the FDA with mass vaccination experience to clear the track for sale in the US.

EMEA admits that side effects can only be found through extensive vaccination campaigns! (1).

Here is what EMEA (4) has to say about risks of GSK Pandemrix:

EMEAs Pandemrix is commonly or very commonly associated with a range of local and systemic adverse reactions but these are not often of severe intensity and the safety profile would not preclude the use of the vaccine in healthy adults aged 18-60 years or > 60 years.

However, there are some adverse reactions known to be very rarely associated with influenza vaccines and it is currently not possible to predict if higher rates might be observed with Pandemrix compared with, for example, seasonal influenza vaccines.

Dr Keiji Fukuda, the WHO’s flu chief, today warned about the potential dangers of the untested vaccine (11): “There are certain areas where you simply do not try to make any economies. One of the things which cannot be compromised is the safety of vaccines.”

Which is exactly what is going on!

What I do not know is, if they are going to leave the attenuated (or live - Baxter (12)) bird flu vaccine - or to totally replace it by the H1N1 virus.

Other severe, but rare side effects are autism in children due to thimerosal (13) and the Guillan-Barré syndrome seen with 400-500 Americans after the 1976 unnecessary mass vaccinations against swine flu (14) – videos. As for additional severe side effects of squalene – see Stephen Lendman (15).

My advice: If you are forced to be vaccinated against the harmless swine flu (H1N1) – demand a vaccination with the AstraZeneca nasal vaccine MedImmune (8)– thereby avoiding squalene side effects.

Anthrax vaccine blamed for illness (contained secret Squalene)

Anthrax vaccine blamed for illness
Book claims Gulf War GIs were guinea pigs

WASHINGTON -- Mark Ammend of Collierville can't talk about it now.

The former fire chief for the 164th Air National Guard unit based at Memphis International Airport got vaccinated against anthrax five years ago. Now, as he lies in a specially designed bed, the only thing he can move is his left eye.

Fully conscious and aware, Ammend, 55, is a quadriplegic with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease.

A new book suggests he and many other soldiers immunized against anthrax during the 1991 Gulf War and since are suffering auto-immune diseases after receiving an illegal chemical adjuvant -- a chemical designed to boost the immune system -- called squalene.

The Pentagon adamantly disagrees and insists that the vaccine is safe.

In his just-published "Vaccine A: The Covert Government Experiment That's Killing Our Soldiers and Why G.I.'s Are Only the First Victims," author Gary Matsumoto suggests Memphis was the key to the immunological puzzle.

"The whole idea originated in Memphis," he said in an interview.

That idea came from Pamela B. Asa, a former Memphis immunologist now living in Tupelo who collaborates with Robert F. Garry, a professor of microbiology at the Tulane University Medical School in New Orleans. Asa and Garry made the connection between squalene, which has not been authorized for use in humans in the United States, and what has been called Gulf War Syndrome in an article in Experimental and Molecular Pathology in 2002.

Auto-immune diseases such as ALS, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis are chronic and increasingly debilitating. They occur when the body can't distinguish between itself and foreign substances it's supposed to attack. Thirty years of scientific literature has shown squalene and other oil adjuvants have induced auto-immune-like illnesses in four species of lab animals. Squalene has never been licensed for use in humans in this country, although it is an element of a variety of experimental drugs.

Asa began looking into the connection between the constellation of symptoms associated with the soldiers' syndrome in 1994, and went to the Pentagon with her concerns. She said she found that many of the soldiers complaining of rashes, fatigue, blackouts, seizures, and joint and muscle pain looked like they had systemic lupus erythematosus, a multi-symptomatic auto-immune disease.

She monitored discussions on Gulf War Syndrome chat rooms, and recommended medical tests that those who were suspicious about their health might take. Word got around, and some shared seriology data with her.

Matsumoto wrote about her suspicions for the first time in 1999, in Vanity Fair magazine, prompting some soldiers in bases around the country to protest taking their anthrax shots. Many others soldiered on, and took them.

At least four members of the 164th Air Guard unit in Memphis quit in 1999 rather than take the shots. But more than 800 took them, according to unit officials at the time.

Ammend, the Air Guard fire chief in Memphis for 11 years and a soldier since 1972, took his first anthrax shot in 1999. He took the last one in April 2000. In 2002, he could still walk, his wife, Mary, said Tuesday. He now lies, mouth open, in his living room, on a respirator 24 hours a day.

"I understand why it was done, or why it was needed," Mary Ammend said. "But I just feel it could -- there should have been more care taken for the FDA to study it before they started dishing it out to the guys."

Three members of the 164th ANG unit in Memphis approached Asa after the Vanity Fair article and asked her to test their blood for antibodies to squalene before they were administered their mandatory anthrax shots. Before the shots, they had no antibodies to the substance. Afterward, two did.

One of them was Sgt. Serge Trullet of Ripley, Miss. A naturalized citizen from Argentina, Trullet wouldn't disobey an order to take the shot, but he wanted to take precautions, he told Matsumoto. When he tested positive for the antibodies to squalene, then started getting a rash and swelling, he didn't blame Uncle Sam. He blamed the unknown people "somewhere along the line," who let it happen.

"I don't know what to think about my commanders," Matsumoto quotes him saying. "I think that they're just ignorant -- you know, 'follow the leader' types that absolutely question nothing that their superiors tell them. I feel that some of them would have probably done the same things that the Nazis did to the Jews with the excuse that they were just following orders." Trullet did not respond to phone calls from The Commercial Appeal Tuesday.

"This (squalene) has not been out in the public forum because the Department of Defense has sort of blown it off and tried to portray people who spoke about it as conspiracy nuts," Asa said in an interview Tuesday.

"Had they (soldiers) not been given this stuff, we would not be finding antibodies to it in people who are sick with auto-immune diseases that squalene has been chronicled to cause for decades."

It's complicated science, but Asa and Matsumoto maintain that the squalene was used experimentally to boost the immune response to a very weak vaccine prepared to ward off a bio-chemical attack of weaponized anthrax spores known to have been developed by Saddam Hussein before the first Gulf War.


Over the years, symptoms of Gulf War illness have been blamed on stress or nerve gas exposure, flea collar insecticides and other factors, but anthrax vaccine has usually been among them. More than $100 million has been spent to find its cause.

James Turner, a Department of Defense spokesman specializing in health matters, said Tuesday that he was familiar with Matsumoto's book but called the concerns it raises "an old, old issue" being pushed by his publisher. Turner directed specific questions about anthrax and squalene to a department Web site. The site acknowledges that the Food and Drug Administration found squalene in some vaccines for anthrax, but says the amount was probably from fingerprint contamination by lab technicians and too small to cause concern.

Before ending the call, Turner added: "The fact is that we do not put squalene in our vaccines and never have. ... The notion that we're using military people as guinea pigs without their knowledge is absurd."

Absurd or not, it is Matsumoto's most explosive claim, and it's backed by Asa. He says in the book that FDA tests show that the amounts of squalene found in different "lots" or batches of the vaccine administered to some troops shows a pattern. That pattern establishes someone was trying to determine the response to a progression of different doses, he claims.

"This is an experiment," Asa said Tuesday. "This is a dose-range experiment."

Perhaps the strangest set of facts revealed in his exhaustive history of anthrax's use as a potential weapon is Matsumoto's claim that the vaccine administered to soldiers might protect against anthrax encountered by contact, but would never work effectively against inhaled anthrax spores such as the threat foreseen from Saddam.

Asa agrees, and so does a federal judge in Washington. U.S. Dist. Judge Emmett Sullivan ruled Oct. 27 that the mandatory use of anthrax vaccine on soldiers is illegal and must stop because authorities can't prove it actually works against the inhaled anthrax expected to be used as a weapon in wartime.

Since the mid-1980s, the FDA had never found the vaccine effective in other than occupational settings, such as for protection of workers exposed to infested animal hides. But in December 2003, after the mandatory inoculations had been under way for five years, the FDA found that the vaccine was effective for inhaled anthrax. Sullivan said the agency failed to follow its own protocols in reaching that conclusion and ruled the vaccine can be used only in the case of informed consent or a presidential waiver.

Asked Tuesday why the Pentagon would want to vaccinate soldiers with a shot that couldn't accomplish its purpose, Asa said she doesn't know. But in her decades of research, she knows the Department of Health and Human Services has been looking for an oil adjuvant to boost potential anti-AIDS vaccines. She says agency researchers are trying to "make the science fit their wish list."

Israeli Scientists Prove DNA Evidence Can Be Faked

Israeli Scientists Prove DNA Evidence Can Be Faked

by Hana Levi Julian
Follow Israel news on and .


(IsraelNN.com) So, you thought that DNA evidence was foolproof? Think again.

Israeli scientists have discovered a way to prove that DNA evidence can be faked.

Long considered the most solid proof in any criminal court case, the biological goods can easily be planted at a crime scene, according to Dan Frumkin, lead author of a paper published in the online journal Forensic Science International: Genetics. "You can just engineer a crime scene," Frumkin contends. "Any biology undergraduate could perform this."

"This" is fabricating blood and saliva DNA samples. Frumkin's team was able to construct a DNA sample to match any profile in a database without having to take tissue from the person involved – if they had access to the database.

DNA is typically collected from things as simple as a strand of hair, a discarded drinking cup or cigarette butt or even a used toothbrush. The team used two methods to fabricate the DNA samples, one involving a real DNA sample, albeit small, which was then enlarged into a greater quantity by using whole genome amplification. This could then be planted in either blood or saliva.

In blood, red cells do not contain DNA, so the team removed white cells from a sample and planted their fabricated DNA in the blood instead.

In the second experiment, the team used a pooled sample of many people's DNA profiles that were stored in law enforcement databases. The scientists cloned tiny snippets of the DNA, created a library from the data, and simply mixed the elements together to match any profile required. According to Frumkin's team, such a "library" of 425 different DNA snippets could cover any possible profile.

Frumkin followed up the experiments by creating a test that could differentiate between a true DNA sample and a fake, using the fact that the amplified DNA used in either fabrication is not methylated -- it lacks specific molecules, and can thus be identified.

In order to market the test, Frumkin founded Nucleix, a Tel Aviv-based company that hopes to interest forensics laboratories in the product.

It's a good bet he will find a niche market.

Invasion of privacy is only one of the implications of his team's research. Planting of fabricated evidence at a crime scene is another, one that has the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) concerned.

"DNA is a lot easier to plant at a crime scene than fingerprints," Tania Simoncelli, ACLU science adviser told the San Francisco Sentinel. "We're creating a criminal justice system that is increasingly relying on this technology."

Gardasil Researcher Speaks Out "Public Should Receive More Complete Warnings"

WASHINGTON, August 19, 2009
Gardasil Researcher Speaks Out
"Public Should Receive More Complete Warnings"
By Sharyl Attkisson


(CBS) Amid questions about the safety of the HPV vaccine Gardasil one of the lead researchers for the Merck drug is speaking out about its risks, benefits and aggressive marketing.

Dr. Diane Harper says young girls and their parents should receive more complete warnings before receiving the vaccine to prevent cervical cancer. Dr. Harper helped design and carry out the Phase II and Phase III safety and effectiveness studies to get Gardasil approved, and authored many of the published, scholarly papers about it. She has been a paid speaker and consultant to Merck. It’s highly unusual for a researcher to publicly criticize a medicine or vaccine she helped get approved.

Dr. Harper joins a number of consumer watchdogs, vaccine safety advocates, and parents who question the vaccine’s risk-versus-benefit profile. She says data available for Gardasil shows that it lasts five years; there is no data showing that it remains effective beyond five years.

Attkisson's Exclusive Report on Gardasil

This raises questions about the CDC’s recommendation that the series of shots be given to girls as young as 11-years old. “If we vaccinate 11 year olds and the protection doesn’t last... we’ve put them at harm from side effects, small but real, for no benefit,” says Dr. Harper. “The benefit to public health is nothing, there is no reduction in cervical cancers, they are just postponed, unless the protection lasts for at least 15 years, and over 70% of all sexually active females of all ages are vaccinated.” She also says that enough serious side effects have been reported after Gardasil use that the vaccine could prove riskier than the cervical cancer it purports to prevent. Cervical cancer is usually entirely curable when detected early through normal Pap screenings.

Dr. Scott Ratner and his wife, who’s also a physician, expressed similar concerns as Dr. Harper in an interview with CBS News last year. One of their teenage daughters became severely ill after her first dose of Gardasil. Dr. Ratner says she’d have been better off getting cervical cancer than the vaccination. “My daughter went from a varsity lacrosse player at Choate to a chronically ill, steroid-dependent patient with autoimmune myofasciitis. I’ve had to ask myself why I let my eldest of three daughters get an unproven vaccine against a few strains of a nonlethal virus that can be dealt with in more effective ways.”

Merck and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintain Gardasil is safe and effective, and that adequate warnings are provided, cautioning about soreness at the injection site and risk of fainting after vaccination. A new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found while the overall risk of side effects appears to be comparable to other vaccines, Gardasil has a higher incidence of blood clots reported. Merck says it continues to have confidence in Gardasil’s safety profile. Merck also says it’s looking into cases of ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, reported after vaccination. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Merck and the CDC say there is currently no evidence that Gardasil caused ALS in the cases reported. Merck is also monitoring the number of deaths reported after Gardasil: at least 32. Merck and CDC says it’s unclear whether the deaths were related to the vaccine, and that just because patients died after the shots doesn’t mean the shots were necessarily to blame.

According to Dr. Harper, assessing the true adverse event risk of Gardasil, and comparing it to the risk of cervical cancer can be tricky and complex. "The number of women who die from cervical cancer in the US every year is small but real. It is small because of the success of the Pap screening program."

"The risks of serious adverse events including death reported after Gardasil use in (the JAMA article by CDC’s Dr. Barbara Slade) were 3.4/100,000 doses distributed. The rate of serious adverse events on par with the death rate of cervical cancer. Gardasil has been associated with at least as many serious adverse events as there are deaths from cervical cancer developing each year. Indeed, the risks of vaccination are underreported in Slade's article, as they are based on a denominator of doses distributed from Merck's warehouse. Up to a third of those doses may be in refrigerators waiting to be dispensed as the autumn onslaught of vaccine messages is sent home to parents the first day of school. Should the denominator in Dr. Slade's work be adjusted to account for this, and then divided by three for the number of women who would receive all three doses, the incidence rate of serious adverse events increases up to five fold. How does a parent value that information," said Harper.

Dr. Harper agrees with Merck and the CDC that Gardasil is safe for most girls and women. But she says the side effects reported so far call for more complete disclosure to patients. She says they should be told that protection from the vaccination might not last long enough to provide a cancer protection benefit, and that its risks - “small but real” - could occur more often than the cervical cancer itself would.

Study on Vaccine (Gardasil) for Cervical Cancer Finds Benefits Despite Some Risks

Study on Vaccine for Cervical Cancer Finds Benefits Despite Some Risks

By RONI CARYN RABIN
Published: August 18, 2009
The new vaccine designed to protect girls and young women from cervical cancer has a safety record that appears to be in line with that of other vaccines, a government report has found. Some serious complications occurred, including at least 20 deaths and two cases of Lou Gehrig’s disease, but they were not necessarily caused by the vaccine, the study said.

Paternal age as a risk factor for schizophrenia: How important is it?

Schizophr Res. 2009 Aug 13. [Epub ahead of print]
Paternal age as a risk factor for schizophrenia: How important is it?

Torrey EF, Buka S, Cannon TD, Goldstein JM, Seidman LJ, Liu T, Hadley T, Rosso IM, Bearden C, Yolken RH.
The Stanley Medical Research Institute, 8401 Connecticut Ave., Suite 200, Chevy Chase, MD 20815, USA.

Advanced paternal age has been widely cited as a risk factor for schizophrenia among offspring and even claimed to account for one-quarter of all cases. We carried out a new study on 25,025 offspring from the Collaborative Perinatal Project (CPP), including 168 diagnosed with psychosis and 88 with narrowly defined schizophrenia. We also conducted a meta-analysis of this and nine other studies for which comparable age-cohort data were available. The mean paternal age for the CPP cases was slightly, but not significantly, higher than the matched controls (p=0.28). Meta-analyses including these new results were conducted to determine the relative risk associated with alternative definitions of advanced paternal age (35, 45 or 55years and older). These yielded pooled odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of 1.28 (1.10, 1.48), 1.38 (0.95, 2.01) and 2.22 (1.46, 3.37), respectively. Thus, increased paternal age appears to be a risk factor for schizophrenia primarily among offspring of fathers ages 55 and over. In these 10 studies, such fathers accounted for only 0.6% of all births. Compared with other known risk factors for schizophrenia, advanced paternal age appears to be intermediate in magnitude. Advanced paternal age is also known to be a risk factor for some chromosomal and neoplastic diseases in the offspring where the cause is thought to be chromosomal aberrations and mutations of the aging germline. Similar mechanisms may account for the relationship between advanced paternal age and schizophrenia risk.
A HARD LOOK AT MANDATORY LIVE VIRUS VACCINATIONS
WHAT´S REALITY AND WHAT TO DO
11 POINT SUMMARY:

Some of the new H1N1 (swine flu) vaccines are going to be made by
Novartis. These shots will probably be made in PER.C6 cells (human retina cells)
and contain MF59, a potentially debilitating adjuvant. MF-59 is an oil-based
adjuvant primarily composed of squalene. All rats injected with squalene
(oil) adjuvants developed a disease that left them crippled, dragging their
paralyzed hindquarters across their cages. Injected squalene can cause
severe arthritis and severe immune responses, such as autoimmune arthritis and
lupus.

What´s the problem with this horrendous looking list? The problem is
two-fold: (1) the adjuvants are added to increase inflammation and immune
response in the system, and (2) the adjuvants are significantly detrimental to
the overall welfare of the organisms, according to the neurosurgeon Russell
Blaylock, M.D., an expert in this field. His research suggests the
vaccinations may cause brain swelling and inflammation for up to two years. This
alone would be enough to significantly disrupt the immune and endocrine
systems, as well as increase senility, activate Alzheimer´s, and other brain
dysfunctions. For example, Hugh Fudenberg, MD, Founder and Director of the
Neuro lmmuno Therapeutic Research Foundation, reported at the NVIC
