When two of the children who attend my Sunday School class told me they had received the first in a series of three Gardasil vaccinations, I was suspect. When I did the research, I was angry.

REMEMBER: NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO MAKE YOU SACRIFICE YOUR CHILD ON THE ALTAR OF BIG PHARMA.

FACT: According to an FDA report on Gardasil, the Human Papilloma virus usually is a transient infection and the body eradicates it on its own. When it continues untreated, it may cause cervical cancer.

FACT: "Research is now being done on using Gardasil in older women and in males."
[MALES? A drug supposedly to stop cervical cancer???]

FACT: According to Merck, if administered to those who already have the virus, it "may increase the risk, by 44.6%, of developing high-grade precancerous lesions in the cervice." p. 10, HiFi DNA report, March 7, 2007. [Do they test those who receive the vaccination? No.]

The above information is based on NCI's SEER Cancer Statistics Review.

THE GARDASIL HPV VIRUS VACCINE

FACT: Gardasil does not prevent cervical cancer. It prevents only four of the 100 plus Human Papalloma viruses that may cause cervical cancer. This virus is transmitted primarily through sexual activity. [So why is it administered to nine year olds?]

There is so much more that we will be happy to e-mail anyone concerned, but for now, we leave you with the last FACT: "In 2006, the company's sales were $235,000,000." - John Carreyrou, Wall Street Journal. If made mandatory, estimates go as high as four billion.

FACT: " Statistics in the United States of women under 20 who develop cervical cancer is 0.0% and only 0.1% worldwide. According to The American Cancer Society, "Cervical cancer tends to occur in midlife. Most cases are found in women younger than 50. It rarely develops in women younger than 20. Many older women do not realize that the risk of developing cervical cancer is still present as they age. Almost 20% of women with cervical cancer are diagnosed when they are over 65." On average, about 3,870 women will die of cervical cancer in 2008 and again, most of those in midlife. [So why are we vaccinating children?]

Just Say "No"

FACT: Merck, the manufacturer of Gardasil has stated that the vaccine is effective for five years but is uncertain of prolonged protection. [Let's do the math. Nine years old protected for five years?]

An FDA news release from March 31, 2003 acknowledges that "most infections (by HPV) are short-lived and not associated with cervical cancer."

You also get the appearance of stretch marks with prolonged use. Your blood vessels swell and there is loss of skin pigment in the affected areas. Your bloodstream may also absorb the strong steroids and this can affect other body systems. In the worst case scenario, it can also suppress the production of your natural adrenaline, thus causing you to be prone to a lot of illness including Cushing's syndrome.

Side Effects With Using Hydrocortisone Cream As Eczema Treatment

Hydrocortisone cream (1%) is one kind of topical corticosteroids and is easily available at your local store without prescription. They are packaged in various forms such as creams and lotions and are marketed under different brands.

In all situations, it is in your best interest to minimize the use of hydrocortisone creams or corticosteroids for your eczema treatment. If you need to use them, do so sparingly and use only as directed. If you find that your medication is not working within a week, stop its usage and see a skin doctor right away. You may need a stronger prescription. It is far better to treat your eczema with an appropriate strength medication than to use one that is not effective. A stronger prescription also allows you to get your eczema treated within a shorter period of time. In addition, look for alternative eczema treatment options which are natural and potentially produce fewer or no side effects.

Corticosteroid creams are topical skin applications which are used for skin itching, redness, discomfort and other skin-related problems. They come in varying strengths. Stronger ones are only available via prescription by your doctor. Corticosteroids are referred to as steroids. The term steroids often have a negative ring to it because of a number of side effects that this drug is known to bring. Corticosteroids for eczema are different from anabolic steroids, which are used by some athletes to increase their endurance.

However, just like any other type of drugs, hydrocortisone cream for eczema treatment also has its own side effects especially if you do not administer it properly. You should always check to see if you are allergic to steroids in the first place. Ask your doctor if in doubt. Secondly, as I have found out, prolonged use can cause skin to thin out. This is a condition known as atrophy. Because your skin is now more sensitive due to thinning out, you are more prone to skin abrasion and infection. That is why if you have eczema and have used hydrocortisone cream for weeks or months, you are more susceptible to a fungi and bacteria infection. With an infection, your eczema symptoms are sure to worsen.
