Response by mother of vaccine-injured child to an article in the “Globe and Mail”, December 19, 2000, concerning those who question vaccines.. There is no link to the original article, so it is not printed here. SM
Dear Margaret Wente,
My name is Julie Duffield. My degree is in Math and Chemistry. My emphasis is organics.
I participated in cancer research for years at BYU. I used to teach the pre-med help sections in
organics as an undergrad.
I used to think that medical experts really understood
what their treatments and all they prescribe.
I have learned the hard way, that doctors trust pharmaceutical dogma for
prescription, with little understanding of the risks and benefits
involved.
My son’s medical conditions are due to
recommendations/prescriptions by medical professionals.
After my boy’s 18-month vaccinations, he began seizure
activity. He began chronic diarrhea. He stopped singing and dancing. He began to slam his head against the
wall. He has never uttered a word
since.
Medically, he suffers from heavy metal toxicity, from
aluminum and mercury (present in his vaccines). He has high measles titers (vaccine strain) to the point of
inducing encephalitis and brain damage.
His fluoroaluminate levels are toxic.
The fluoride, I gave him every day as the doctor ordered. My boy’s teeth had to be removed (6 abscessed
teeth), so my faithful administration didn’t help him in his particular
case. My boy’s intestine lining is void
of all friendly flora—containing only e-coli and candida albacans (result of
antibiotic use for ear infections).
Why is it so shocking to medical professionals that vaccines
can cause diverse adverse reactions?
The Journal of Pediatrics explains the mechanisms by which vaccines
alter the body’s ability to hold up an immune fight.
The Journal of Pediatrics
October 2000 • Volume 137 • Number 4
Vaccines throw T-Helper cells out of balance, causing
certain disorders from allergy to autoimmunity.
“Natural infection, mediated by IL-12, is believed to
promote the differentiation of T cells into a TH1 phenotype. Immunizations, on
the other hand, promote the development of a TH2 phenotype.17 The decreasing incidence
of natural infections in the Westernized world (hygiene hypothesis),18 in
combination with the increasing success of the immunization programs, would be
expected to tilt the balance toward TH2, depriving the immune system of signals
that promote TH1 development. “
What pseudo-science could allow such a trade for childhood
disease (temporary), for a lifelong disease or disorder?
Here are other medical journal references to vaccines and
disease.

Since my son’s issues directly followed his vaccines, I
began to study. My pediatrician assured
me that vaccines ‘can’t do that’, but as the test results came back of what was
going on in my Michael’s system, my pediatrician admitted that he didn’t really
know about adverse effects of vaccines.
He had other children in his practice that most likely had a reaction
and didn’t know it. My doctor never
reported our incident to VAERS. He didn’t
think it was necessary.
Vaccine science is based on vague theory, and pushed by
the fear of disease. If you research
the polio and smallpox diseases specifically, the experts at the time weren’t
sure if the disease was going down because of new sanitation policy combined
with people washing their hands after using the bathroom, or if the vaccines
were really working. Now, pharmaceutical
companies emphasize the polio eradication through vaccines as the reason behind
the entire vaccination program. There
is no proof that the vaccine program even worked in that case.
Measles was not considered deadly till recently. Deaths and encephalitis from measles were
rare. Now, it is published in medical journals
that fever reducers are a terrible treatment for measles, because the virus is allowed
to live longer with a reduced fever, doing more damage to the liver and
elsewhere. Death is more likely with
pharmaceutical intervention, than if we would let the disease run it’s
course. Modern medicine made measles
deadly, and the PR of pharmaceutical reps have made measles out to be more
deadly than it is.
If you have any direct questions for me regarding
vaccines, please reply. I assure you
that the pain families experience from adverse vaccine reactions is just as
terrible as the pain a family experiences through temporary childhood
disease.
