‘<\/span>All through the 1990\u2019s, I received many, many calls and letters from parents of autistic children.

Most young parents are so caught up in ongoing responsibilities of raising their first child, learning the adaptive skillset of parenting, they typically have no choice or inclination but to trust in the good doctor, to guide their infant through the early years of life unscathed, No one can blame them for relying on the modern Medical system.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Certainly the peer-reviewed evidence has stated unequivocally, from Government Health departments\u00a0around the world, reinforced by a constant barrage of one-sided Mainstream Media propaganda, that vaccines play an essential role in\u00a0protecting the overall health of newborns: mitigating any preliminary exposure to viral, bacterial & fungal pathogens, circulating in the environment.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Why is just such an examination here-in needed at this juncture? Because there is a growing gulf between the weight of biased\u00a0information and specious scientific evidence being posited by the Medical Industry, supporting vaccine uptake, and the overwhelming documentation of day-to-day reality posed by the administering of standard immunization-type\u00a0vaccines, impacting early childhood development, which countless\u00a0families routinely bear witness to throughout our communities.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The so-called experts keep telling us the science is settled.\u00a0Case closed. However they stubbornly (knowingly) refuse to acknowledge the pleas of tens of thousands of desperate parents coping with a vaccine-injured child; whose capacity for achieving the reasonable right to viable health has been unduly thwarted prematurely by forces outside of their control.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Vaccines pose an immediate threat to a child at any age, but specifically in reference to those vaccines fixed on the\u00a0Standard Immunization schedule<\/span><\/a> given before the age of 2. These include the Hepatitis B (HepB), Rotavirus, Haemophilus influenzae type b (HIB), Pneumococcal conjugate (PCV), Inactivated poliovirus (IPV)\u00a0and\u00a0seasonal Influenza vaccine, the Diphtheria, tetanus, & acellular pertussis (DTaP) and Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) series.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Vaccines do nothing, whatsoever, to provide or strengthen\u00a0 immunity.\u00a0They systematically undermine the body’s ability to function\u00a0normally, hindering every operation from the brain to the gut.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A baby is not equipped to sustain any violation of the electrical grid system – comprising the Myelin Sheath, Blood-Brain barrier, and Meninges. Vaccines are\u00a0given subcutaneously, or intramuscularly, allowing them to bypass the body’s natural defences; predominantly situated\u00a0in the nasal passages and gastro-intestinal tract.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
All CDC-recommended vaccines contain degrees of neurotoxins, chemically altered (mutagenic) viruses, antibiotics, sterilant preservatives, detergents, and other harmful excipients, which counteract and\/or bond synergistically, increasing their potential virulence.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Aluminum, widely used as an adjuvant in vaccines (to boost\/jump-start the immunological effect of modified viruses) is an electrically charged neurotoxin.

By 15-18 months, sufficient damage has been caused to the axons, neurons and Myelin sheaths (protective casing around nerve cells), throughout the brain and central nervous system, opening the flood-gates to neurological impairment, a chain reaction of chronic auto-immune disease, and increased risk of life-long neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism. It just so happens the Measles, Mumps, Rubella vaccine series is administered between 12 and 18 months after birth, during the most intense phase in the regime.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

‘<\/span>For all five nerves from diseased ears, microscopy showed a higher percentage of axon and myelin sheath degeneration than in the normal controls…This high proportion of demyelination, edema (build-up of fluid) and disintegration of the myelin sheath could be due to a more sever infection or inflammatory process.\u00a0<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As regards axon degeneration, degeneration of the axons would cause a higher degree of nerve dysfunction as compared with degeneration of the myelin sheaths, since a complete degeneration of an axon completely blocks the nerve impulses, whereas complete myelin sheath degeneration would reduce the velocity of the nerve signal.<\/span><\/a>‘ Acta<\/span> Oto-Laryngologica 135(6):1-7, 02\/2015<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Note: ‘The antibiotics used to treat ear infections may make children more susceptible to mercury damage. Preliminary studies by Dr. Boyd Haley, the world authority on mercury, found that the antibiotics ampicillin and tetracycline increase thimerosal-induced neuronal death. In other words, less mercury does more damage in the presence of these antibiotics. Furthermore, all antibiotics kill good gut bacteria, essential to resist mercury uptake.<\/a>‘ Kelly Dorfman, M.S., L.N., L.D.<\/strong><\/div>\n

Unfortunately, from day one, all vaccinated children face an uphill battle in life, their capacity for optimal natural immunity stripped away as early as 12 hours old (Hepatitis B shot).<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Primary areas of concern associated with middle ear impairment, precipitated by early childhood exposure to vaccine toxicity and prescription antibiotics include: lipid peroxidation, ischemia, anaphylaxis, encephalitis, demyelination, dysfunctional & dead axons\/motor neurons, prolonged\/progressive\u00a0hearing loss (Tinnitus), lack of physical co-ordination & muscle reflexes, a plethora of auto-immune problems & neuro-developmental disorders (chiefly Autism, ADD, ADHD), a cataclysm of neuro-degenerative disorders linked to Glutamate excitotoxiciy\u00a0(<\/span>Alzheimer’s, Brain trauma and brain injury, ALS, Multiple sclerosis, Seizure disorders, Parkinson’s, Stroke, Huntington’s, Schizophrenia<\/span><\/a>),<\/span> viral & bacterial diseases (ie.

In fact, the crux of the entire conundrum known as Autism, whether a child succumbs or skirts that calibrated landmine, hinges on a string of crucial factors, this particular area being one of the them.

The human ear is a primary outer extension of the brain. This meticulous instrument\u00a0serves a vital role, calibrating every aspect of communication and physical movement, muscle\/joint co-ordination, regulating your overall equilibrium in response to auditory stimuli, while simultaneously\u00a0distilling, processing and modulating sensory input from the brain; crucial to our survival within\u00a0any environment.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The structural apparatus of the inner ear, comprising the ear drum or tympanic membrane, auditory ossicles (tuning fork assembly of\u00a0three inter-connected bones: malleus, incus and stapes), three looping semicircular canals (equalizers)\u00a0and the cochlea (functions as a high-frequency microphone<\/b>), harnesses electro-chemical neuro-transmitters operating in the brain, and distills every nuance of sound (vibrational frequencies) we receive\/absorb, rapidly processing them\u00a0into a comprehensible range or map of auditory signals.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Similar to an elaborate\u00a0dual-capacity router, the ear\u00a0is designed to\u00a0streamline two intertwined yet independent systems, simultaneously, assisting every aspect of motor function – particularly sensory awareness, efficiency of movement, speed, accuracy, endurance, modulating and differentiating a complex array of reflex actions.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Without the constant aid of\u00a0this versatile tool, motor-skill\u00a0dependant messages emitted from the brain\u00a0inevitably become scattered, resulting in varying degrees of physical imbalance.\u00a0The body’s\u00a0internal gyroscope\u00a0literally disengages,\u00a0unable to maintain gravitational equilibrium.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The long-term implications of prolonged middle ear infections are far more insidious.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
‘<\/span>The outer ear consists of the ear shell (pinna) and the auditory canal. Its function is to guide air pressure waves to the middle ear- with the ear shell increasing the sensitivity of the ear to the front side of the head, supporting front\/rear localisation of audio signals.<\/span><\/a> <\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
The middle ear consists of the ear drum (tympanic membrane), attached to the inner ear through a delicate bone structure (malleus, incus and stapes). The middle ear bones (ossicles) and the muscles keeping them in place are the smallest in the human body. One of the major functions of the middle ear is to ensure the efficient transfer of sound from the air to the fluids in the inner ear.<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
\n
If the sound were to impinge directly onto the inner ear, most of it would simply be reflected back because acoustical impedance of the air is different from that of the fluids. The middle ear acts as an impedance-matching device that improves sound transmission, reduces the amount of reflect sound and protects the inner ear from excessive sound pressure levels.<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This protection is actively regulated by the brain using the middle ear\u2019s muscles to tense and un-tense the bone structure with a reaction speed as fast as 10 milliseconds. The middle ear\u2019s connection to the inner ear uses the smallest bone in the human body: the stapes (or stirrup bone), approximately 3 millimetres long, weighing approximately 3 milligrams.<\/a>‘<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The inner ear consists of the cochlea – basically a rolled-up tube. The middle ear\u2019s stapes connects to the cochlea\u2019s \u2018oval window\u2019. The rolled-up tube contains a tuned membrane populated with approximately 15,500 hair cells and is dedicated to hearing. The structure also has a set of semi-circular canals that is dedicated to the sense of balance. Although the semi-circular canal system also uses hair cells to provide the brain with body balance information, it has nothing to do with audio.<\/span><\/a>‘<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The inner ear actually functions as a nexus point between the brain and its external environment. engaging a vast network of neural circuitry, in close proximity to the nasal passages (mucosal membrane) where\u00a0the majority of airborne infections enter the body. <\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Eustachian tube, which ventilates the bones of the inner ear,\u00a0preventing damage to the internal mechanism,\u00a0branches off from the nasal passageway, at a 45\u00b0 angle, toward the ossicles. This region is\u00a0inherently vulnerable to any dampness or mucus seepage; thus surreptitiously inviting\u00a0exposure to widespread pathogens. <\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
‘‘<\/span>The eustachian tube helps to equalize the pressure between the outer ear and the middle ear. When this tube is not working properly, it prevents normal drainage of fluid from the middle ear, causing a build up of fluid behind the eardrum. When this fluid cannot drain, it allows for the growth of bacteria and viruses in the ear that can lead to acute otitis media.<\/span><\/a>‘ <\/span>Stanford Children’s Health <\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The human body is equipped with a set of buffers or pads called Adenoids, which ostensibly guard the entrance\u00a0to the tube, minimizing\u00a0any transfer or build-up of fluid. <\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
However, babies and young children are at a disadvantage, since the Eustachian tube has not yet grown to its full capacity. \u2018Ear infections are more common in children, in part, because their eustachian tubes are narrower and more horizontal \u2014 factors that make them more difficult to drain and more likely to get clogged.’<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Adenoids are also larger at birth than their eventual size, which reduces their efficiency. In other words, during the neonate phase, the risk of inflammation and prolonged infections reaching the middle ear is exponentially heightened.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

‘<\/span>Because adenoids are near the opening of the eustachian tubes, inflammation or enlargement of the adenoids may block the tubes, thereby contributing to middle ear infection.

Anyone who has experienced peripheral or central Vertigo can attest to the overwhelmingly disorienting nature of this debilitating condition. All basic movement is drastically inhibited, This sudden loss of spatial or motor co-ordination in an otherwise\u00a0normally functioning body\u00a0is often attributed to calcium deposits (<\/span>Otoconia<\/span><\/a>)<\/span> becoming dislodged, interfering with the\u00a0sensitive properties\u00a0managing the inner ear. \u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

‘<\/span>The otoconia are made of calcium carbonate (CaCo3) combined with a protein matrix protein (about 40% of the volume).

\u2018The utricle is one of two \u201cotolithic organs\u201d in the human ear, the utricle and saccule. The utricle is contained within a swelling adjacent to the semicicircular canals, and the saccule is close to the cochlea.<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The otolithic organs sense motion according to their orientation.

While decreased efficiency over time contributes to an erosion of calcium deposits\u00a0servicing the inner ear, potentially blocking the valves and channels, further offsetting bone conduction; this is a typical aging factor predominantly associated with middle-of-life.

‘At the present writing, it is not entirely clear if otoconia turn over or if they degenerate over life. If they degenerate over ones lifetime, this might explain why balance inevitably worsens with time, and also explain why persons after head-injury never quite regain their former balance function. On the other hand, it seems unlikely that a highly vulnerable system like the otoliths would be designed without some method of repair.<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Simultaneous\u00a0duality and inter-dependence of these elements (Potassium & Magnesium vs. Sodium and Calcium) poised within the cochlea, ensures cell viability. <\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Note the division of proportional responsibilities: ‘Magnesium and potassium inside the cell assist oxidation, and sodium and calcium outside the cell wall help transmit the energy produced. The healthy cell wall favors intake of nutrients and elimination of waste products. <\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Potassium regulation is of course crucial because potassium acts as a counter flow for sodium\u2019s role in nerve transmission. The body must put a high priority on regulating the potassium of the blood serum and this becomes difficult when magnesium levels become deficient. <\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A magnesium deficiency can cause the body to lose potassium and this our bodies cannot afford. Within the cell wall is a sodium pump to provide a high internal potassium and a low internal sodium.<\/a>‘<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Any slight\u00a0imbalance (depletion or excess) in these levels will generate excitotoxicity (unleashing of free radicals) and\u00a0lipid peroxidation (oxidative stress \u2013 associated with the loss of electrons<\/span><\/a>\/cell damage) which in turn triggers a range of auto-immune symptoms, neurological and neuro-developmental impairment. <\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Oxidative stress\u00a0and resulting\u00a0Ischemia\u00a0(reduced blood-flow) are hallmarks of vaccine toxicity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘<\/span>The James study (conducted by Dr. Jill James of the University of Arkansas School of Medicine) shows that children with regressive autism have consistently elevated levels of oxidative stress as compared to normal healthy children. Individuals with reduced glutathione antioxidant capacity (magnesium and selenium deficient) will be under chronic oxidative stress and will be more vulnerable to toxic compounds that act primarily through oxidative damage.<\/span><\/a>‘<\/span> Dr. Mark Sircus<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is an identifiable source behind the overall disruption, unleashing a torrent of excitotoxins into the balance, interfering with the fluid ratio of the endolymph and perilymph supply.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And there is only one logical explanation for this cataclysm of forces occurring. The current epidemic in cases of Otitis Media impacting our communities is an end-product of collateral damage from having received a barrage of early childhood vaccines and prescription drugs\/antibiotics. The root cause of chronic middle ear infections is neurological in nature, linked directly to vaccine-derived heavy metal toxicity, targeting the brain stem, resulting in demyelination, an escalation of dead axons, damaged neurons and neurotransmission failure.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

For children with Autism, painful inner ear afflictions are just one in a series of seemingly insurmountable challenges they face on a daily basis. A closer look reveals more clues.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The conduits of the inner ear are intrinsically linked to the brain, via the labyrinthine artery<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2018Vascular supply of the inner ear: the arterial circulation of the inner ear is completely supplied by the labyrinthine artery. The labyrinthine artery has a variable origin. Most often it is a branch of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA), but occasionally, it is a direct branch of the basilar artery.\u00a0 <\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
As it enters the inner ear, it divides into the anterior vestibular artery and the common cochlear artery. The anterior vestibular artery supplies the vestibular nerve, most of the utricle, and the ampullae of the lateral and anterior semicircular canals\u2026The labyrinth has no collateral anastomotic network and is highly susceptible to ischemia.\u00a0 Only 15 seconds of selective blood flow cessation is needed to abolish temporarily auditory nerve excitability.<\/a>‘ Timothy C. Hain, MD <\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Again, \u2018The labyrinth has no collateral anastomotic (connection made between adjacent blood vessels) network and is highly susceptible to ischemia.\u2019<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ischemia involves a singeing or pinching of the neural pathways from toxic overload which prevents necessary oxygen from reaching the brain, literally inhibiting normal development, resulting in a series of what are termed \u201cmicrovascular strokes<\/span><\/a>\u201d, \u2018<\/span>as large white blood cells rush to attack the foreign particles injected into our bloodstream\u2026surround tiny capillaries where the foreign particles land, clog and collapse the capillaries.<\/span><\/a>‘ <\/span>Dr. Andrew Moulden <\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Vaccine neurotoxins gain access to the inner ear via the bloodstream. The stripping of nerve cells, and the premature breach of the Blood-brain barrier and Meninges exposes the brain stem,\u00a0‘<\/span>a bundle of (electrically charged) nerve tissue at the base of the brain…connects the cerebrum to the spinal cord and sends messages between different parts of the body and the brain’<\/span><\/a>, to demyelination.<\/strong><\/div>\n

\u201cBut from all of the other studies of toxic substances, the earlier you work with the central nervous system, the more likely you are to run into a sensitive period for one of these effects, so that moving (vaccine schedule) from one month or one day of birth to six months of birth changes enormously the potential for toxicity. There are just a host of neurodevelopmental data that would suggest that we\u2019ve got a serious problem.

As determined by Charles M.

‘Glutamate is the most important afferent (conducted inward) neurotransmitter within the inner ear.

\u2018Other protective processes involve sufficient magnesium to block the uptake of glutamate by the neurons and also sufficient antioxidants, such as glutathione and vitamins C and E, to dispose of the free radicals generated within the neurons by the excitotoxins such as glutamate, aspartate, and cysteine.

Now over ten years later I still have a hard time discerning directions that sounds are coming from. My kids,…??? They stopped having them when we stopped going into the doctor’s for well child visits, and stopped vaccines. I got to noticing that we were in for a real sick time whenever we would go in, just within a few days and the illnesses were getting rougher. Our family health improved without end once we finally learned to stay away !’<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

‘Sounds like me as a kid. They decided to wait and didn’t put tubes to see if I would grow out of it, which I did and had no hearing loss. I would have ear infections so bad I had huge knots behind my ears and spent many nights in the hospital in excruciating pain. Still had tonsils and adenoids taken. Constant antibiotics, respiratory infections, asthma, digestive issues, depression\/bipolar, panic attacks. I thought I was a crazy hypochondriac.’ I thought I was a crazy hypochondriac.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks- did not realize the vaccine connection to inflammatory response to ear infections and hearing loss.

I recently found his immunization records.. among others, he received DTap 3-4 times, 2-3 doses at a time, for a total of 9 doses of Dtap within his first year of life. I don’t know if that’s normal or not. He is 16yo now, mentally about 11yo. His birth mother was a probable drug user and neglectful, which is why he was removed at 2yo, but I am certain the vaccines played a large role in his delays.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
