Post subject: Formation of Cysts from Squalene
Adjuvant? |
|
|
Gary,
In another message you had commented that cysts formed
due to squalene adjuvants. While in theatre (Saudi
Arabia), I had a bilateral-salipingo-oopherrectomy (SP).
Ovarian cysts were found to be the problem, though they
never had existed before AND I'd had a hysterectomy in
1982. I was admitted to the 85th EVAC approximately 2
weeks after my 1st anthrax vaccine. It's my
understanding that the doseage we received in 1
injection is equal to 2 today. I had a total of 2
anthrax vaccines before they were stopped at HQS, SUPCOM.
Could cysts have manifested that quickly?
Most recently, I've been found to have an arachnoid cyst
on my brain stem about the size of a quarter, which VA
plans on "watching". They say it's congenital, BUT...in
1991 and again in 1996, MRI's show what neurologists
call a UBO, an unidentified bright object. Could
squalene cause somthing like this?
For me, it's not a matter of service-connection, as I am
already rated 100% (220% in real math) from my numerous
Gulf War related illnesses (CFS, FMS, IBS, Neurogenic
bladder, Reactive Arthritis/Reiter's Syndrome). I would
just like to know WHY I've had to go through all of
these life changing manifestations.

Dear Rita: In a forum such as
this, no one can say with certainty what caused the
cysts. Here is what I can tell you though. For the past
half century, peer-reviewed scientific research has
documented how animals injected with oil-based adjuvants
develop a variety of hypersensitive (allergic) and
autoimmune diseases. They also develop cysts. This has
also proven true in humans. In the 1960s, nearly a
million people in England were immunized with an
influenza vaccine containing an oil based adjuvant. I
believe the oil was mineral oil. The manufacturer
voluntarily withdrew the vaccine from the market when
approximately 40 patients developed sterile
(non-infectious) cysts that in some cases had to be
surgically removed. I am unaware of any research showing
how quickly cysts can develop after immunization with an
oil adjuvant.
GULF WAR CORRELATION
In science, a correlation does not prove causation. A
correlation, however, is grounds to investigate
causation, which has led to some troubling data.
After the first Gulf War, many U.S. and British military
personnel said they became sick after receiving anthrax
immunizations. Scientists at Tulane University Medical
School developed an assay showing a correlation between
illness and antibodies to squalene. Although this data
did not prove conclusively that Gulf War troops were
injected with squalene, the data indicated that
injection was the only way to develop these antibodies;
the implication being that troops had been injected with
a squalene-based adjuvant. This coincided with the fact
that at the time, U.S. Army scientists had developed
several new and theoretically improved anthrax vaccines
that provided more immunity than the licensed vaccine;
and did so in less time and with fewer shots. All these
new anthrax vaccines contained squalene. I interviewed
dozens of Gulf War veterans whose mysterious
undiagnosable illnesses were later diagnosed by civilian
physicians as autoimmune. Of the sick Gulf War veterans
tested by Tulane's scientists, 95% had antibodies to
squalene. Tulane's data showed another correlation, and
this one concerned them even more. Veterans who never
deployed to the Gulf had developed chronic and
debilitating illnesses too - 100% of sick,non-deployed
veterans tested by Tulane had anti-squalene antibodies.
When Tulane tested healthy veterans, they found that 0%
had the antibodies; that's zero percent.
AVIP
In 1998, active duty military personnel deploying to an
AOR (Area of Responsibility), which included Saudi
Arabia and South Korea, were injected with anthrax
vaccine. Many personnel reported sickness after their
immunizations, which were later determined by FDA
testing to contain trace quantities of squalene. The
Department of Defense and the FDA stated that these
quantities were too small to harm anyone and that the
nanogram quantities of squalene in the vaccine probably
came from the eggs in which germs for vaccines are
grown. There was a problem with this explanation.
Viruses are grown in eggs; bacteria are not. Anthrax is
a bacteria. Then the DOD and FDA suggested the squalene
came from the bacteria itself. However, scientists had
analyzed Bacillus
anthracis and proven
that it does not produce squalene. DOD then offered a
third explanation: the oils in human skin contain
squalene; someone's hands must've contaminated the
vaccine. The problem with that explanation was that
vaccine workers wear gloves and hats and booties. The
other problem is that oil and water don't mix.
Nevertheless, trace quantities of squalene had been
emulsified in millions of vaccine doses. It wasn't found
smeared on the exterior of glass ware. It was
in the vaccine.
Special detergents must be added to an oil to break it
down sufficiently to mix it with water. What DOD and the
FDA left out of their explanations was this. In 1998,
the DOD, FDA and NIH formed a Special Working Group to
accelerate the development of the Army's new anthrax
vaccine containing squalene. Also that year, NIH
scientists published data, which indicated, they said,
that animals can become "tolerized" to squalene with
micro-dosages. Coincidentally, nanogram doses of
squalene, parts per billion, appeared in the military's
anthrax vaccine supply that same year, in 1998.
CYSTS
Military personnel injected with anthrax vaccine
containing squalene have been reporting that they
developed cysts, appearing all over their bodies. Among
the first to report this were Air Force personnel at
Dover Air Force Based in Delaware, which had received at
least four lots of anthrax vaccine containing squalene.
One fellow developed cysts all over his body, including
his pericardium. Another fellow developed them on his
spinal cord. These cysts were similar to those in
British civilians injected with the flu vaccine
containing mineral oil, because they were "sterile" -
they were not
associated with viral or bacterial infection.
TWO LAST CORRELATIONS
Department of Defense and Health and Human Services
regulations permit the administration of experimental
drugs and vaccines to U.S. military personnel without
informed consent. In contravention of the principles
memorialized in the Nuremberg Code, the administration
of Invesigational New Drugs (INDs) can be done covertly,
in clinical trials that are classified. This is stated
in unclassified documents issued by the Department of
Defense and Department of Health and Human Services.
Since the early 1950s, U.S. military scientists -
working in cooperation with scientists with the NIH, FDA,
and U.S. Public Health Service - have been testing
cyst-producing oil-based vaccine adjuvants on U.S.
military personnel.
A CAVEAT
Reactive arthritis/Reiter's Syndrome is associated with
bacterial infection. Have you asked your physician why
your arthritis is considered "reactive" as opposed to
autoimmune?
Sincerely,
