CJ-
"holding her urine and only eliminating on average 2x's a day and sometime you can tell it's painful for her. Her workup so far has been negative.."

Do a screen for high hormonal vitamin D (1,25-D) and low storage form D (25-D), oxalate crystals, blood and urine pH, lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes, and a full thyroid panel (TSH, free T4 *and* T3, perhaps reverse T3 as well). Then go to the Vitamin K protocol (fat soluble vitamin protocol) group..

The pattern showing up in at least a subset of kids is this vitamin D imbalance, oxalate problems, and body and renal acidosis. Acidosis will cause internal oxalic acid synthesis by disrupting the function of lactate dehydrogenase in the liver, a problem which hypothyroidism may contribute too as well. The FSV groups can answer more questions.

Does she have "grit" in her bowel movements? This showed up in one case - we think oxalate crystals - and the problem cleared within about *one day* of starting bicarbonate baths, which help the body neutralize the acidosis.

After years of constipation, this is the only thing that worked for our child (who weighs 125 pounds) - we tried everything else, to no avail: 3000 mg Ester C (vitamin C) and 6 seedless prunes (we call them plums) per day.

As for the urine retention, we try to take advantage of times when there is major interest in a certain toy, book, or movie. We say we will "give it back after you pee pee." Sometimes it works like a charm. Sometimes we have to add the sound of running water to the mix. Sometimes we just have to resign ourselves to the fact that it could take 2 hours. Most of the time it is less than 10 minutes. We use the master bath most of the time so that we can be comfortable in the event that there is a long wait.

Donna,

My daughter used to suffer from constant constipation and thankfully this has been resolved. But for the past 6 months see is holding her urine and only eliminating on average 2x's a day and sometime you can tell it's painful for her. Her workup so far has been negative. She suffered as an infant with a urinary tract infection but it was an isolated occurence. She also has very limited communication skills so it's difficult to find out what is hurting her.

I am also curious if others see this problem in their kids...

Sorry for all these long posts to prove our points further as I know I am preaching to the choir here, but this one, again, is a must read. It helps us all to understand this ruling further and in context of our own children.

.... federal panel recently declared that childhood vaccines don’t cause autism. However, numerous studies have shown that vaccines can trigger autoimmune diseases, including Guillain-Barre syndrome. Animal studies agree.

Because of early concerns regarding canine vaccines, the Haywood Foundation funded several studies, which were published by Purdue University in 1999. The studies found that vaccinated dogs developed autoantibodies to many of their own proteins, including fibronectin, laminin, DNA, albumin, collagen, cytochrome C, and cardiolipin. These antibodies were not found in non-vaccinated dogs. *(do these tests on your kids to prove vaccine injury? YEPPERS)

Targeted Proteins
The Purdue researchers found that vaccines cause the production of antibodies that target proteins involved in cell replication, cell maintenance, cell differentiation, and cell repair. The researchers found that normal cell functions necessary for the maintenance of life were being damaged by autoantibodies.

Autoantibodies
Autoantibodies are antibodies produced by the immune system that attack our own cellular proteins. Certain autoantibodies seen in dogs have corresponding antibodies in humans. Anti-cardiolipin antibodies are seen in humans with antiphospholipid syndrome, a common cause of miscarriage and stroke, and in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Autoantibodies to collagen and connective tissue interfere with the body’s ability to maintain bone and tissue. In canines, these autoantibodies lead to problems with mobility. In particular, problems with the rear hind legs often occur in vaccinated dogs. *(think ataxia and gait problems in our kids)

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia
It’s also widely acknowledged that canine vaccines can cause a sudden, often fatal, disease called autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA). Without proper treatment, and frequently with treatment, dogs often die within days. (many of our kids have anemia or iron overload anemia)

However, no one warns the pet owners before their pets are subjected to an unnecessary booster, and very few owners are told the causes of AIHA.

Other Vaccine-Induced Diseases
The UK veterinarian, Catherine O’ Driscoll noted an increased rate of arthritis among vaccinated canines. In reviewing the literature in humans she found an article in Internal Medicine, which reported that it’s possible to isolate the rubella virus from affected joints in children vaccinated against rubella *(never thought of that, could that also prove vaccine injury? YEP). It also told of the isolation of viruses from the peripheral blood of women with prolonged arthritis following vaccination with the rubella vaccine.

Research in early 2000 showed that polyarthritis and other diseases like amyloidosis (that's alzheimers folks), which affects the pancreas and other organs in dogs, were linked to combination vaccines. Studies confirm that vaccines can cause a wide range of brain and central nervous system damage. Merck itself states in its Manual that vaccines can cause encephalitis:

Brain inflammation/damage. Merck states that "examples are the encephalitides following measles, chickenpox, rubella, smallpox vaccination, vaccinia, and many other less well defined viral infections."

In surveys, dog owners report that following vaccines, a high percentage of vaccinated dogs developed short attention spans and/or epilepsy within three months of vaccinations. *(HELLOOOO)

Of the many dogs affected by hind paralysis caused by vaccines, it’s noted that "paresis" is listed in Merck's Manual as a symptom of encephalitis. Encephalitis can cause partial or incomplete paralysis, resulting from lesions at any level of the descending pathway from the brain. Hind limb paralysis is one of the potential consequences. (my son had this, and still does, episodic paralysis)..*(go there with paralysi of urin, paralysis of the gut etc)

Organ failure should be suspected when it occurs shortly after a vaccination. Dr Larry Glickman, who led the Purdue research, reported that the heart conditions in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels commonly occurring after vaccines could be the end result of repeated immunizations by vaccines containing tissue culture contaminants that cause a progressive immune response directed at connective tissue in the heart valves. *(many of our kids have connective tissue disease and heart problems)....

This is just a post for vets, but guess what, that happens in our children, ALL THE TIME...crimney christmas...

My wife (who is an a Rescue angel) and I took the copy down to our local newspaper and paid to have it put in Saturday's paper!
Thank you GR!

[barbara batchelder]

a great ad!...and so true...i need no 'study' done by a pharma-beholden research entity to prove what i saw with my very own eyes!
my son suddenly began to have violent seizures after the first set of 'vaccinations' given at two months.
i never got him another.
i am 54 years old raising the grandson i adopted who has autism. i don't look to have the 'industry' pay me for his upkeep, but social security is!...so that means everyone except the industry is footing the bill for his needs.
recently my mom, who is 73, and i had an intense arguement about these vaccinations. since she had whooping cough as a small child ("i still remember how horrible it was!" she said) she's very much the believer in these poisonous injections.
i reminder her that when my siblings and i were younger, we actually got the measles, mumps and rubella so feared and each has gone on to live normal lives, that all my siblings got chicken pox, and outside of a few scars where they picked repeatedly, none had lasting repercussions. (i have never had chicken pox, my daughter, the mother of my grandson also never got chicken pox and wasn't immunized, and my adoptive son has never gotten them, despite attending an early intervention toddler program, where one of the previously vaccinated children did have it and was sent to school while sick with it)
my mom, very emphatically told me that ESPECIALLY whooping cough should be vaccinated for!
when i reminded her that while memorable and not fun, she did live! and that we have even better antibiotics these days, she only bristled.
now in the town where i live on the florida panhandle, a whole family; father, teen aged daughter and elementary age son, have some how come down with whooping cough, despite having had ALL of the recommended vaccines and boosters.
drug companies and doctors alike are now recommending that EVERYONE get boosters!
i have had quite enough of these poison peddlers!
and when, i wonder will the now famous "One Less" commercials for the latest vaccine craze 'gardisil' mention the deaths and such associated with some of the girls and women who have stepped up to receive it?
i am too through with these predatory profit mongers!

Regarding the recent measles encephalitis post, I've often wondered how prevalent urine retention is among children with regressive autism. My ASD daughter not only suffers from constipation, that we address with a special diet, she also suffers from urine retention. This is not a behavioral problem. She really struggles with efforts to empty her bladder. Sometimes it is very difficult to determine whether the pain she complains about (very limited verbal communication skills) is coming from her bladder or her intestines some days. She will hold her hand on her abdomen just below her belly button and say "tummy owie, go dotor." When it gets really bad, she'll be really bloated to the point that she gets stretch marks in her skin and then she makes herself vomit because nothing, not even fluids, will empty out of her stomach. Unfortunately, we cannot get a doctor to give us a prescription for bethanecol or any other med for this condition. So she suffers.

This article is AWESOME, done by a homeopath, and way smart. Read every line, take it in, and realize the lies that have been told us about simple childhood diseases.

ENJOY, and or WEEP

With its affinity for the respiratory mucosa, the measles virus is dispersed through the air by sneezing and coughing infected droplets and inhaled by susceptible persons on contact with them. For 10 to 14 days, the virus multiplies first in the tonsils, adenoids, and accessory lymphoid tissues of the pharynx, then in the regional lymph nodes of the head and neck, and finally in the blood, spleen, liver, thymus, and bone marrow, the major organs of the immune system. Throughout this prolonged “incubation” period the patient usually feels quite well and experiences few or no symptoms of any kind.50

With the first signs of illness, circulating antibodies are already detectable in the blood, in concentrations roughly proportional to the severity of the disease.51 In other words, the illness we know as the measles is simply the concerted effort of the immune system to clear the virus from the blood, largely via sneezing and coughing, the same routes through which it entered in the first place. This mighty exploit involves a general mobilization that includes inflammation of already sensitized tissues at the portal of entry, activation of B- and T-lymphocytes, macrophages, and the serum complement system, and a host of other mechanisms, of which the production of specific antibodies is only one, which depends for its effectiveness upon its collaboration with the system as a whole.

Such a magnificent effort leaves no doubt that coming down with and recovering from acute illnesses of this kind are the defining experiences in the healthy maturation of the immune system. The immunity resulting from it is specific, to be sure, in that those who recover from the measles will never again be susceptible to it, no matter how many times they are re-exposed in the future. But it is also nonspecific, in the equally important sense of priming the system to respond rapidly and effectively to other infections it may encounter in the future.

The natural immunity acquired through recovering from acute diseases represents an enormous net gain for the health of individuals and their descendants, and thereby also of the community and the race as a whole. The measles virus kills 20% of populations exposed to it for the first time, and many centuries of adaptation were required for our own ancestors to convert it into a routine disease of childhood, such that when I caught it at the age of six, nonspecific mechanisms were already in place to help me recover from it with no complications or sequelÊ, an achievement that I credit in no small part for the good health I enjoy today. The ability to respond acutely and vigorously to infection ranks among the most fundamental requirements of general health and well-being, a truth so elementary that merely having to reaffirm it will attest to how far we have strayed from a saner and more wholesome conception of life.

Artificial or Vaccine-Induced Immunity: Relative, Partial, and Temporary

When the live, attenuated vaccine virus is injected into the blood, at most a brief inflammatory reaction may be noted at the injection site, with no local sensitization at the portal of entry, no incubation period, no acute illness, and no massive outpouring. Like a conjuror’s trick, vaccination yields measurable titers of specific antibodies in the blood, but without any overt illness or inflammatory response, and without any significant improvement in the general health of the recipients, apart from reducing their statistical risk of developing the acute disease as we know it.
But where the virus goes, how it persuades the immune system to continue producing antibodies against it for years at a time, and what price we have to pay for the counterfeit immunity that they represent, are the questions that are seldom if ever asked. Vaccines seem tailor-made to accomplish through deception what the immune system seems to have evolved to prevent, giving viruses, bacteria, and other foreign antigens free and immediate access to the organs of the immune system without any obvious or easy way of getting rid of them. No mere side effect, the continuing production of specific antibodies over the long term requires the physical presence of live viruses and other highly antigenic substances inside the cells of the immune system on a more or less permanent basis.

In the case of measles and the other live-virus vaccines, excellent models already exist for imagining how this chronicity might occur, and for predicting the pathologies that are likely to follow from it. Many viruses are known for their capacity to survive in latent form indefinitely within the cells of the immune system without provoking acute disease, by attaching their own DNA or RNA as extra particles or “episomes” to the genome of the host cell and replicating along with it, allowing the cell to perform its normal functions but adding instructions for the synthesis of viral proteins as well.52

Residing as foreign elements within the cells of the host, latent viruses of this type would automatically pose a major threat to the immune mechanism as a whole, which is programmed to destroy and remove them by every available means. Once viral elements are incorporated into the genetic material of the host, such attacks have no possible target but the infected cells themselves. Chronic intracellular parasitism by latent viruses would appear to insure a rich harvest of auto-immune diseases, which must also be regarded as “healthy” in that removing the transformed cells becomes the only way to eliminate the foreign material.

In short, my fear is that vaccinating children against measles and other live viruses simply reprograms their immune systems to respond chronically and weakly rather than acutely and vigorously to other infections, and indeed to antigenic challenges of any kind, a conclusion amply borne out by the clinical evidence already presented of alarming and as yet unexplained increases in the chronicity of ear infections, asthma, eczema, autism, and other common diseases of childhood. It is dangerously misleading and indeed the exact opposite of the truth to claim that measles vaccine “protects” us against the disease by obliging us to harbor the virus chronically instead, so that our immune systems are less capable of responding acutely, not only to the measles but to everything else as well.

If that is true, then the most major achievement of mandatory vaccination could be to exchange a few epidemic diseases of the past for the vastly more prevalent and less curable chronic diseases of the present, with their suffering and disability amortized at a high rate of interest over the patient’s lifetime. It is difficult to imagine that most parents would accept such a devil’s bargain if they were told the truth about it, let alone open a real Pandora’s box of new diseases and mutations for the future, through in vivo genetic recombination within the cells of the race.

Abstract;We reported two patients with measles encephalitis. Patient 1. A 29-year old woman developed encephalitis six days after the appearance of typical measles rash. She was transferred to our hospital. On admission, she was in a state of mutism and had retention of urine. Neurological examination revealed flaccid paralysis of lower limbs. CSF protein was 64mg/dl with cell count of 31/mm3. Myelin basic protein in CSF was positive. CSF antibodies against measles were positive. In MRI T2-weighted images, high signal intensity areas were noted to spread in bilateral cingurate gyrus and insula cortex of frontal lobes, and bilateral temporal lobes. Steroid pulse therapy was started immediately after admission. Five days after the treatment, she made a remarkable recovery. Patient 2. A 19-year old man became febrile and developed cutaneous eruptions typical of measles. Neurological examination did not reveal any finding. CSF protein was l7mg/dl with cell count of 0/mm3. CSF antibodies against measles were negative. In MRI T2-weighted images, a round high signal intensity area was noted in splenium of corpus callosum. MRI finding disappeared after two months. It is suggested that the measles encephalitis in our cases were predominantly due to an immunologic reaction in a pathophysiological aspect. (author abst.)
