Italian Court Links Boy’s Autism to a Vaccine L
ast Septem- ber, a Milan Court held in favor of plaintiffs that claimed that three doses of the hexavalent GlaxoSmithKline vaccine Infanrix Hexa that were administered to an infant begin- ning in 2006 caused autism later when he was a young boy. The vaccine is used for polio, diphtheria, teta- nus, hepatitis B, whooping cough and haemophilus influenzae type B. After hear-
ing from several medical experts,
the court ruled that the child likely suffered autism and brain damage as a result of the vaccine’s content of mercury and aluminum, combined with a genetic mutation in the child rendering greater susceptibility. The ruling ordered damages to be paid by the Italian govern- ment’s national vaccine injury compensation program. The court’s decision was also based upon GlaxoSmithKline’s list of possible adverse events resulting from the vaccine, which includ- ed five cases of autism during clinical trials. Today in the U.S., most
vaccines routinely given to children under 6 years of age are free of thimerosal, a mercu- ry-derived preservative.
Rehabilitating the Digestive System Naturally M
anufacturers add preservatives to food products in order to reduce
spoilage by killing bacteria and fungus in the container. But that can do the same in the gut, killing good bacteria that help the body absorb nutrients and digest food. Diets high in sugar and carbohydrates also harm the gut, feeding intestinal fungus such as Candida and allowing it to take over. According to Steven Frank, founder of Nature’s Rite, an herbal remedies
company, a well-balanced, three-pronged approach can rehabilitate the di- gestive system. The first step is to kill off the bad bacteria and irritating fungus with a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that is biocompatible, yet effective. Frank suggests an enhanced aqueous colloid of silver that is optimized to help clear the microbes out of the digestive system. It’s best taken on an empty stomach, dosing two ounces every two hours for two to three days; this prepares the system for enhanced effectiveness of the following treatment. The second step is taking a good probiotic daily for at least one month. Fi-
nally, take a combination of herbs to increase mucus to protect the digestive sys- tem and reduce histamine sensitivity, allowing the intestines to rebuild a healthy lining. Steven Frank, innovated herbalist, suggests a combination of plantain, licorice, aloe vera, peppermint, marshmallow root and slippery elm bark. When working to heal the body, basic building blocks are required, so
it’s critical that those using this approach take 2,000 milligrams of vitamin C, 10,000 international units of vitamin D and a good B-complex daily.
