After these when my sweet son got the MMR shot my son screamed for two weeks. his ears were red and his eyes dilated. He was constantly spinning and banging his head " And he hasn’t been the same since. When I asked my doctor whether this wasn’t clearly due to a reaction to the vaccine, he just asked “ Has he been eating his vegetable?” Its clear why not many vaccine reactions are not reported by doctors.

> Apgars 8/9. Uneventful first year. Got all immunizations on time.

> Sat at 4 months, crawled at 7 months, walked at 10 months. Spoke first word at 9 months.

By 12 months, had 10 to 15 words. Good eye contact, good imitative skills, very social.

> Stopped talking 5 days after MMR plus Hep B at 12 months, gradually lost all imitative skills, all interaction and eye contact.

>By 18 months was in his own world. Would not even respond to his name. We asked everyone why he was acting this way, including several pediatricians ‑ no answers. Finally diagnosed as autistic at 26 months.

> We began an intensive ABA program (Lovaas) at 28 months. We took him to see Dr. Stephanie Cave at 29 months. She ran a number of tests, including hair analysis for heavy metals. He was very high in lead, aluminum, and antimony. Mercury was only slightly

elevated. She gave him DMSA 100 three times a day for 5 days, followed by 100 mg twice a day for 2 weeks (the old treatment).

> By 1 month after this first chelation course, he had improved noticeably ‑ behavior was better, no longer as "zoned out" as before, was no longer pale, looked healthier. Repeated the

> hair analysis several months later. This showed a significant drop in lead, but still high antimony and aluminum, and to our surprise, a high level of mercury. No one knew what this meant at the time ‑

> this subsequent high level of mercury meant that mercury had been mobilized back into the bloodstream, thus could finally show up in the hair. Looking back, if we had realized the significance of this finding then, Mike would be completely recoved now.

> After this, we pursued other areas like getting rid of yeast and pathogenic bacteria, gluten and casein‑free diet, getting rid of multiple food allergies, and did not return to the heavy metal

> issue until he was 4 years old. By this time, I had taken over his case. I repeated a hair analysis for heavy metals when he was 4. Mercury had dropped (of course ‑ it had gone back into its favorite storage areas), but aluminum and antimony were still very, very high, and the lead was back up to elevated range.

> I started him on a kinder, gentler course using DMSA 200 mg TID for 3 days, off for 11 days while repleting minerals. I repeated this 2 week cycle for a total of 4 cycles, then got a toxic urine screen on the last cycle. To my surprise, tons of mercury were coming out.

> That is when I started investigating mercury‑autism connection in Mike's case. After a few weeks, I was convinced that mercury was responsible for a lot of his problems, so we continued with the same 2 week cycles of DMSA for several more months, repeated the urine toxic metal screen with almost the same findings. From April of 1999 to the present, I have been doing these 2 week cycles, 4 to 6 at a time, then allowing him a month off now and then to fully recover from the chelation. We got a urine toxic metal screen last month (4/00) which showed mercury at 2.7 ("normal" range 0 ‑ 3). This is the first time he has ever been in the "normal"

range for mercury (provocative urine).

> One year ago, Mike was essentially non‑verbal and preferred to engage in meaningless self‑stimulatory behaviors. Today (5/00), he speaks in sentences, addresses people by name to get their attention, and no longer "stims" non‑stop. His receptive language is excellent, expressive is still 2 years behind his peers (but is catching up fast). His pronunciation, which had been so bad as to make any words completely unintelligible, is now improving to the point that we can understand almost everything he says.

...

And as far as my son goes, I have no neurologic or behavioral evidence left in him to suggest that mercury is still a significant problem for him ‑ he is talking, answering questions, carrying on conversations. His strabismus is gone. His bilateral Babinski sign are now gone. He no longer walks on his toes. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that I used DMSA every 8 hours, 3 days "on" and 11 days "off" and he is not the same horribly impaired child that he was even a year ago.

> I intend to continue chelation until no more mercury comes out on provocative urine toxic metal screen.

Hi, My son Daniel recieved the Hep B shot 2 days after he was born( and I know that his immune system had to be weak due to an infection I had right before labor and a severe

reaction I had to pennicilin(sp?)while in labor. Anyway, after that he hit all his mile

stones a little on the late side but still on the charts. And he was connected to us, said a

few words(bye bye, dada, baba)all at 1 year of age.

A few months later he recieved the MMR, 2nd Hep B, Dpt, and Polio. He had a slight fever nothing much, and slept for what I thought was an eternity, always very tired for about 2

weeks. And then he woke up, boy did he wake up, he SCREAMED every minute of the

day for about another 2 weeks, and he began head banging, he was so angry. And then he stopped, and I mean stopped. No more talking no more connection, no more eating(very picky) and no to very little eye contact. It was at this time he withdrew not only from

me but from the world. Do I believe it had something to do with the vaccines??YES!! Lindy

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

My son regressed into autism almost immediately after MMR (15‑18 months) However, he began improving around age 3...regained some speech ( about 6 words)

At age 4 1/2, he got a TETANUS shot...he regressed horribly, spent the next 6‑8 months spinning, running, howling with a repetitive voice pattern almost constantly. I had to get out of the house or lose my mind! He has not spoken a word since then, except for one night when he had a high fever, when he spoke a 5 word sentence. (the only one in his life) He now

"tries" to say words (thanks to ABA). I believe that the Tetanus shot did further damage to

my son. Mary Holcomb <gotojoshua1_9@yahoo.com>

My daughter had MMR, DPT, Hib, Hep b, and Opv, all on the same day ; She had a high fever that night, and regressed over the next two weeks. In these two weeks, she lost all language, screamed a piercing scream constantly, started head banging, started losing weight, etc, etc, etc.

Of course, this is all anecdotal, so it must not have really happened :‑) Well, most of my friends have had their kids be vaccinated in the same manner, so it seems to be pretty 'normal'.

For us, I refused to get her vaccinated unless she was in real good health (geez, at least I knew THAT much ‑ too bad it wasn't enough though ) so we were 'a little behind' . They decided to catch her up all at once. I asked many times if they were sure it would be ok. Something in my gut kept screaming 'NO ‑ DON'T DO IT!!!!!' but the doctor kept saying it would be fine, and

then started getting really nasty and threatened calling CPS if we didn't do it all that day.

I gave in to his bullying. GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jennifer

I know you have no background on my 4 year old son. He had developed normally. Near his first birthday, he had had an allergic reaction to a sulfomide (sp?) antibiotic (treatment for an ear infection), was put on another antibiotic, developed a high fever, was then hospitalized for rotavirus. We cancelled his MMR the following month, and it was rescheduled for the next month. He was back to his old self playing with his sister, happy, talking, but still had diarrhea. The Doctor assured us that they could still give the needle as he had no fever nor infection (toddler diarrhea??). Well...Within a week of his MMR/Hep B stabbing, he essentially looked like he had a stroke. He could no longer climb stairs, eat with a spoon, talk. He developed persistent, copious diarrhea (which would continue for 18 months until gf/cf diet). He was, however, still social and had eye contact. After his DPT/MMR booster 5 months later, he developed a blistering rash, lost eye contact, developed poor sleeping habits, woke in pain, screamed and jumped incessantly.

I noticed you listed the shots your daughter received in one day. My grandson received the DPT, Hib, HepB, and OPV at 2 months. He had a severe reaction of high pitch crying, fever, jerking that I believe were convulsions, glazed eyes, the doctor didn't seemed surprised or

concerned, except to say they would give DT, IPV instead of the dpt and opv from then on. That gave us a false sense of security (safety). My daughter has told me he had similar behavior each time. He was late getting his last round of shots (20 months) and at that time received the DPT, Hib, HepB, IPV, MMR, and Variciela! Shortly after this (weeks) his unusual behavior started, and he lost the speech he had acquired, so forth. But I will say there were subtle signs before this that something wasn't right. Squinting in sunlight, stiffening when being held as an infant, that made me think he might be having seizures; diareah that blistered his bottom. The pediatrician was condescending and said he was normal, not to worry. I do believe he was damaged by vaccines and probably the mercury. He was diagnosed with severe autism a year ago, he recently turned four. There is slight improvement in eye contact, answering to his name,

some words come and go, but are few, since we started the GFCF diet. Haven't been able to get to a doctor that can help yet due to the cost of the tests and so forth. I know this is long. What gets me about the mandatory vaccinations, is that here in Texas you sign a form

saying you are volunarily giving your child the shots, and it even

says you request it! And yet the CPS can get involved if you don't

want them? How can Americans stand for this, and especially when

they are killing some infants, and maiming others. God help us!

My husband has gone oversees quite often, which meant immunizations galore.

I had a booster shot MMR 1 month before marriage, my son was conceived soon

after our marriage. We both have a mouthful of poison, I was exposed to

malathion which contains mercury salts in my childhood and while carrying my

children with autism....you tell me? Then my kids have vaccines, one almost

died 11 days after, acted blind, inconsolable, shaking violently,

convulsing. The other, classic gastro problems (I thought I was doing the

right thing by not giving her pertussis, the one we thought affected my

oldest). Great heh?

Kathy Blanco kblanco@mindspring.com

I had 5 amalgams placed in the first trimester. Breastfed also. Son had sensory issues at birth. He received HepB at birth. Looking back it seems he may have developed more sensory

issues with each vaccination but the MMR threw him into a tail spin. I feel without a doubt that amalgam played a huge role and the vacs just added to the cumulative effect. The gut was damaged by the mercury/yeast and then the MMR somehow affected his brain. He developed full blown lympho nodular hyperplasia within 3‑4 months of his MMR. "Darla" <hacodaki@cs.com>

I know that the first DPT that Kenny got in Dec. 1993 came from a bad lot.

Another little boy who is two weeks older also got that shot and also suffers

from autism. Here's what happened to Kenny: (This was two weeks after he arrived from Korea)

Dec. 17: Took him to pediatrician for first time (6 1/2 months old) Doctor

remarked on what a big, beautiful, HEALTHY baby he was. (He had been born at 32

weeks gestation in Korea ‑‑ he weighed 5 lbs at birth though!) He got the shot

that day.

Dec. 23: He started wheezing. Took him back to doctor, they gave him a

breathing treatment, put him on ventolin, told me it looked like he had croup.

Dec. 23 (midnight): Took him to ER because none of the methods they told us for

helping him breathe were helping. He was gasping for breath, had a temp over 103.

He received a shot of epinephrine, and they sent us home.

Dec. 25: My mom noticed while she was holding him that his heart was racing.

We couldn't even count his pulse rate it was so fast. High fever. (Back to the hospital)

Dec. 27: Small pin‑point rash began to appear on his body

Dec. 31: Rash had spread over him from head to toe. Took him back to the doctor. Doctor

had "never seen anything like it". Discovered he also had 2 ear infections.

Then came the MMR/DPaT/OPV the following August... I didn't think the doctor would vaccinate that day because he'd had 13 dirty diapers the day before. When I specifically said, "You're not going to give him his shots today are you?" , the answer was, "It's probably just teething. It will be fine." Of course, we already knew at this point that he was allergic to

eggs, and had been told we'd have to wait for two hours after the shot to make sure he didn't have an adverse reaction, because the MMR is egg‑based. On day 6 after the vaccine (notice the similarity in time frames here?) he woke up at 5AM with a blood curdling shriek. We rushed into his room. He had a temp of 104.6 I took him back into the doctor 3 more times in the following week because he was lethargic, crying, not himself. He's not been himself since then... Cindy (Cary, NC) persistentC@bigfoot.com

My son was completely set back by MMR. I will say though that even though he lost his speech and all eye contact with the MMR, he was already in a state of decline from

previous shots . MMR finished the job. I have books on my children from birth which I wrote in and His decline began at 12 months as he started losing some words that he had previously said. As far as his records go he did not have the MMR at that time . He did have the others DPT, Hep b etc. In fact going over this , Hep b was the last one that would have

correlated in the downslide at the 12 month mark.

] ALL VACCINES HAVE THIMEROSAL!

The vaccines said not to contain thimerosal do have it anyway, even the MMR.

I've just got it confirmed from SmithKline‑Beecham, Pasteur‑Merieux, Merck, and the rest of them.

ALL VACCINES HAVE THIMEROSAL because it is part of the manufacturing process just like the NIH man said. Traces only, is what they told me.

....they had lied us all in the face... they had been putting this into our children, pretending not to......

.....and I actually just started crying.......

.....and I looked at Erik who's had a rough time again in pain and I just couldn't help it.

Please Oh God what have they done to my boy? To our children? What have they done?

And they have done it again and again and again...... It has been confirmed that Erik is particularly sensitive to thimerosal. And I can only start to imagine the scope of this tragedy ‑ most definitely the largest iatrogenic scandal in the history of mankind...... and all the children getting so much more than traces of mercury.......

The fight has just begun and now I am utterly convinced,

We will prevail. regards Maria

I have a 4 year old son with autism. His last round of vaccines was when he was 16 months old. All in one visit he received the MMR, DPT, oral polio, HIB and chicken pox. I don't even want to think about the amount of mercury that was injected into him. He lapsed into autism soon after. We recently found out that he has a yeast overgrowth problem along with an intolerance to gluten and casein. I am thinking it likely my son is mercury toxic as well since I’ve found out these vaccines have so much mercury. . It seems like these three conditions coinside according to the research.

Kim Murphy Just prior to conception of my third child I received an additional MMR

shot (was informed that I was no longer immune). I then received three

RhoGam shots; one in the first trimester, one in the second trimester and one

after birth. Just prior to delivery I developed Bstrep and my daughter was born with a

103 degree fever. She was given IV antibiotics immediately. While on the

antibiotics she was given her Hib shot.

My youngest has been diagnosed with sever PDD nos, sever language delay

(nonverbal), anxiety disorder, and sever mental retardation. She did not

have a fighting chance. Lisa Smith, Philadlephia

My son received his hepB vaccine a few hours after he born at 34 weeks and low birthrate(4.4 lbs). To think they told my husband he needed this vaccine because there is no cure of hepB, and would prevent a lifelong disease. Well, so is his autism!

His regression started about one month after mmr.

thanks, Susan K

Kelsey turned 6 in August (so that's good news, right?)...after 2 rounds of chelation therapy (200 mgs 3 times/day for 3 days, then 4 days off) we noticed the following:

1) Started going in her own bed at night; yes I mean climbed in bed, got a story read, kissed goodnight and went to sleep within 15 mins..all this after 4 years of unexplainable hell. As a baby and up until 13 months, she would fall into her routine quite well, and I remember with great warmth how she would grab her blanket and walk over to the stairs. We would bring her up to her crib, put her in, give her the blanket, kiss her goodnite, turn off the light and shut the door (a real dream baby)...At 13 months (she had her MMR at 12 months...why I don't know), she got the worst liquid diarrhea for a month which gave her blistering diaperrash..with literal blisters. No diaper rash creme gave comfort...it was awful! At that point, she stopped her pleasant behaviour during her nighttime routine and screamed so badly until she threw up, not once but for over 2 months. We didn't give up easily, suspecting that this was just "a stage". We rocked her in her room, patted her bottom, and basically stayed with her till she fell asleep with exhaustion. Keep in mind that she never took a nap after 13 months of age. If she did fall asleep, and she sensed that you moved (I'm talking 30‑45 mins here), her eyes would open and you would have to go through it again. Many nights I just ended up sleeping on the floor in her room. When we could no longer take that, she would fall asleep on the couch in the living room, and we would carry her (ever so gently up and pray that she wouldn't awaken). By that time, she had graduated to a "big girl bed" and began waking in the middle of the night. I would be sleeping in my bed, when I could just "sense" something, and there she was, standing there, just looking at me, usually dragging her pillow. I would take her back to her bed, and pat her again on the bottom til she would fall asleep. I would slink out of the room like some Army guy going under barbed wire, trying to avoid any possible "creaks" of the floor. I made it out 2 times out of 3, but an hour later, there she was, standing by my bed again, with her pillow. :‑( It seemed like she just needed me, and I needed sleep, so eventually, I just started pulling her into bed with me. I swore I would never do this with my kids! There wasn't one night where I didn't put her back into her bed, and she didn't awake to come to my room, but this Tuesday, she walked in her room and said, "I want to sleep in my room tonite". I'm still in shock on this one...every night I expect her to fall apart and beg to go to my room for the bedtime story, but 3 days in a row is too much of a change to not be documented properly. Last night, she said to Dan, "Could you turn off the light please". Too incredible! She's wanted the light on for 4 years....

It's almost like she went back to the way she was prior to this...

2) She stopped picking her nails...and this was horrible. She's been doing it since she was 2 or so...til they bled; we've tried everything, including just holding her hands and lovingly

repeating "no picking" for years. Tried motivators, everything. All of a sudden, she stopped last week and I had to file the edges last night! ‑My husband was in shock on this....

3) Her general behavior has picked up a lot. Our morning routine has not changed in the last 3 years, and yet since we began chelation, the mornings have gone smoothly; she is very aware of the times and what needed to be done when. I still am amazed that for the last 3 years (she was in an early essential education program), the transition to go from the breakfast counter to the bathroom, for brushing teeth, potty, etc. and then out the door consisted of us mostly picking her up while she fell apart and physically moving her to where she needed to be, and then trying to find the motivating factor to get her to complete the task. Even going out the door was hard; more times than not she was screaming/crying out the door...granted the diet (gfcf) helped a lot but now, she clicks the TV (Arthur) off at 7:30, hops down, fills her backpack (by herself), and goes into the bathroom for teeth/potty. She then grabs her backpack and goes out to the mudroom to put on coat and shoes. Then if there's time, which there usually is now, Dad and Kelsey will shoot hoops in the yard waiting for the bus...

4) The pervasiveness is decreased, no matter what the focus. yeah!!‑

5) Teeth grinding is down too! She doesn't have much of her teeth left to lose as she's ground most down to within 1/8 inch of her gums, but I'm hoping that she'll stop before the new ones all come in! Tracy Tracy_Reed@idx.com

I just wanted to let you all know, my son (7 yo) has made more improvement in the past 8 weeks on chelation, than ANY other therapy thus far! His teachers are overwhelmed by his progress, My PARENTS are amazed...He has been mainstreaming 1/2 day, and I have been told that by June he will be in a full day NT setting in school (possibly with speech)...I am THRILLED. My son lost all of his words at 15‑16 months (thanks MMR), and he slowly regained his language because of MANY therapies, and HOURS of work on my part...a secretin/ anti fungal regimen brought his expressive speech back, AND now the chelation has made him "whole"...his eye contact, his imagination, and his "soul" have returned. ( I think the "soul" is what we have been missing) He was able to follow commands, and understand, but now he wants to be "here" again...I am VERY happy with this, and I felt like sharing Shari

After 14 months GFCF he is now able to eat pretty much whatever. His yeast issues are gone. Of course we still add enzymes to heavy gluten meals but I don't even do that for Casein anymore as he has proven to have gone thru a total cure on that one. A new CDSA will reveal what we have yet to work on or set our sights for. A fatty acid test proved that he is not too terribley off kilter there either any longer !! He is eating a variety of foods now as well as drinking many new liquids all of a sudden. From 5 foods to this ! He no longer wets the bed at night as I believe I have mentioned once before in a post.

At 3 he weighed about the same as a mosquito. Then as he grew he changed and became 4'3" and weighed a whopping 102 pounds as his thyroid shut down. Now with GFCF and chelation,

in about one year has grown to 4'8" and is now 93 pounds. His hypothyroidism is stalled and hopefully he will be able to produce it all properly from here on out. He now plays with children very well with apporpriate eye contact. He is even initiating play with children ! He responds well to questions about his age and name although it is very shyly. He has even started imaginary play on his own and as recently as today joined in with others in their pretend play and played appropriately much to my shock and great pleasure.

His language, both receptive and expressive, has improved a great deal ( although this is where he is still far below average ) .But considering from where we started, this too is a remarkable achievement. His eyesight has gone from 2.25 down to 1.5 of normal ‑ meaning that

his eyes are improving ! He can play outside without shading those eyes. He can climb and hang onto monkey bars ‑ even though he would be considered far from coordinated, LOL. But it doesn't have to look pretty to be okay ! He can hit a baseball without a T .

He can sink baskets in a basketball game and has learned to bounce/dribble the ball ( not great, but hey ... it's a start ).His taste in movies isn't between Blues Clues and Barney anymore. He

enjoys Dr Dolittle, Small Soldiers and Indian in the Cupboard , Spy Kids and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles .... you know ... regular kid movies. He just attended the symphony with us; was IN the 4th of July parade; entered a race with me after the parade in the swimming pool in a mom and kid race . And as much of a slug as I thought I was we didn't come in last either !

This is almost .... okay almost, but not quite.... what I expect moms of truly "typical" kids to do with their children. This is what chelation has done for us.

We are finished with chelation ! After 16 months of chelation therapy my son’s metals are all in range. Chelation was a big success for us and has improved him immeasurabley. If I was to tell anyone anything that they should positively do it would be this. Not totally cured, of course, he is nonetheless light years from where he was when we first started it. Each month still brings us new achievements which we had never conceived as possible. No longer GFCF ( although I still cook recipes that way roughly 50% of the time ), with his pancreas working splendidly now producing enzymes normally, our last bastian is his hypotonia ( he had a DTP recation as well as MMR ), auditory issues ( he still doesn't pronounce words acurately ) and lastly the newly acquired yeast after the phase two ALA came on board ( ugh ). Otherwise his social skills, appropriate behaviors and such are well on their way . His CNS is definitely reorganizing now as he requires loads more sleep than before .... but we are excited and watching his progress daily as he surprises us regularly with new skills. Overall, it has been the least expensive therapy we have ever tried and by far the most effective. Blessings, Jeannie <buzzlightyearspacecommander@yahoo.com>

Tyler was 4 weeks early weighing only 3 lbs.After his MMR shot, he was sick for 3 days, with a fever of a 103. He’s not been well since. He just turned 4. His weight is 30 lbs. He is also behind in a lot of of things. He is on Luvox for his OCD, that he has really bad. He has alot of sensory issues too. "Michele" <menty3@yahoo.com>

TO PARENTS AND PHYSICIANS OF AUTISTIC CHILDREN:

June 28, 2001

I am a physician certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and

Neurology, conducting clinical practice in Southern California. In the last

few years I have begun specializing in the treatment of developmentally

delayed children, primarily those in the autistic spectrum disorder group.

I was called into this work by one of my grandchildren being diagnosed with

autism, and have since been non‑stop researching and trying to understand

and treat this disorder.

At this point I am treating as many children as I can handle in my practice,

and the stories are all so similar that I must corroborate from my clinical

experience what is becoming obvious to many throughout the world. The

vaccines as part of the toxic world we live in are contributing to the

weakening of the children's immune systems generally, borne out by the

incredible rise in asthma/allergic disorders, diabetes, and other autoimmune

diseases as well as autism. If there happens to be a genetic predisposition

in the family, the combination of the genetics and toxic insult particularly

during gestation or early childhood may lead to developmental delay from

mild learning disorders and ADD/ADHD to full‑blown autism Statistics are

bearing this out; one in 150‑250 children are receiving the autistic

diagnosis at this time, and literally millions of children are being treated

for learning delay disorders with the numbers increasing every year.

Though the general feeling among clinicians such as I is that the injury

most often starts with the injection at birth of the toxin thimerosal in the

Hep B, (which has recently finally been removed from the newborn's vaccine)

the cumulative effect of the vaccines injure the child's immune system

starting a familiar chain of events. That is, multiple

infections/antibiotics, gut disorders, food intolerances etc. with the MMR

often being the final blow before their descent into autism.

My current recommendation is that any child and particularly one with a

developmental disorder or with a family member with an autoimmune or

developmental delay disorder be given special care by the physician ordering

the vaccines. Several caveats are that the child should be in good health

before receiving vaccines, all vaccines be thimerosal free, and all

vaccines be given as separate components, e.g. M & M & R each being six

months apart and boosters only for those testing negative for immunity.

Hepatitis B should be given to a newborn only if the mother tests positive,

otherwise the child can wait until 4‑5 years of age. Pediatricians are

recommended to read the July 2001 issue of Pediatrics for more

recommendations; their report on Mercury in the Environment states that all

recommended childhood immunizations are available in thimerosal‑free forms

now, and parents must insist on these for their children. Parents must be

willing to be advocates for their children and help educate their doctors

during this period of intense research and reform that is taking place

regarding childhood immunizations.

Jaquelyn McCandless, M.D.

Vaccines kill many. The following chiIdren suffered a severe reaction to a routine DPT (diphtheria. pertussis, tetanus), MMR (measles, mumps. rubella), or OPV (oral polio) vaccine. They are only a few of the thousands of children who have died or been left with medication resistant seizure disorders, mental retardation, physical handicaps, learning disabilities or other chronic illnesses after a reaction to a routine vaccination.

Chris - Christopher died 21 hours after receiving his 1st DPT & OPV vaccinations at two months of age.

Ashley - Within 72 hours of her 4th DPT and OPV and HIB Ashley was hospitalized with kidney failure and encephalitis. Because of these vaccinations Ashley is severely mentally and physically handicapped.

Richell - Within 10 hours of 3rd DPT and OPV Richell suffered a grand mal seizure. She is now severely mentally and physically handicapped.

Kimber - Within 3 hours of 1st DPT and OPV Kimberly suffered 103 degree fever, high pitched screaming and convulsions. Kimberlie died 2 years later.

Josh - Within 6 hours of 3rd DPT and OPV, at an age of 6 months, Josh suffered high pitched screaming, a 101 degree fever followed by a one hour grand mal seizure. Josh is moderate to severely mentally retarded and severely language delayed.

Anna - Within 2 days of her 1st MMR at an age of 15 months Anna began limping. Within 6 weeks she was totally paralyzed. At age 3 Anna could not walk independently or talk and was severely handicapped and language delayed.

Matthew - Within 26 hours of 1st DPT and OPV and after projectile vomiting, staring, and behavior change Matthew died.
