Many parents ask me about the safety of various vaccinations. Generally, my suggestion is for people to fully understand the risk of the disease the vaccination is poised to prevent and then to understand the possible side effects of the vaccination itself. A frequent question I get is about Gardasil, the new HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) vaccine made by Merck. Gardasil was recently approved for wide distribution for the prevention of HPV infection in teenage girls. HPV is the virus known to cause cervical cancer. Gardasil has been shown to prevent the infection of about 70% of the HPV strains. It is the assumption of doctors who administer the vaccines and the public health organizations that support the development and implementation of the vaccine that this vaccine can be widely used to prevent a life threatening cancer that affect women.
Well, hold the phone. Here's a reality check on some new and old facts about cervical cancer and HPV. First, cervical cancer leads to about 3,700 deaths per year in the US compared to about 300,000 annual deaths that heart disease lays claim to. It's true if you were one of those 3,700 people that die of cervical cancer like the unfortunate death of the actress
Jane Goody at the age of 27 it becomes very personal. However, since HPV is very treatable in early stages and that every sexually woman knows to get a pap-smear every year, then women should think twice about getting the HPV vaccine.
The dark side of vaccines have been argued for years with opponents claiming various auto-immune, cancer and neurological problems with many vaccines. The vaccines with the most contention is the MMR (measles mumps rubella) vaccine and Thimerosal, a preservative placed in some vaccinations (such as flu shots) that contains almost 50% mercury by weight.
Thimerosal and the MMR vaccine have been thought to contribute to the development of autism in some kids. Since I treat autistic children, I've seen a number of regressions in young children after the administration of vaccinations and don't recommend them for children at risk for developing autism.
New information has been coming to light about the risk of Gardasil and the development of a juvenile form of ALS or
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or commonly known as Lou Gherig's disease named after the famous baseball player who died of the disease. The CDC is more closely looking at the potential relationship between
Gardasil and juvenile ALS. Because of the rareness of the ALS relationship it was not seen in Merck's trials when they tested the vaccine. But recently, there were three cases of ALS in their teens causing the death of two of the girls after the administration of Gardasil. Interestingly, the CDC acknowledged a similar pattern with the use of the anthrax vaccination and ALS. Now with all things being equal and knowing what I know in the treatment of HPV using herbs and vitamins, I know that I would rather treat someone for HPV and cervical dysplasia than to help them reverse the devastating process of paralysis and ALS.
So buyer beware. All you parents out there should think twice about vaccinating your teenage daughters with Gardasil without more information on the potential devastating side effects of this vaccine. Meantime, talk to them about safe sex practices, the importance of regular visits to the gynecologist and pap-smears and personal responsibility in health. Know that your naturopathic doctor can offer treatment of HPV and cervical dysplasia with little or no side effect and a 98% cure rate. Until this vaccine has been used for longer and shown to be very safe one should proceed with caution.

If you can hold something up and put it down, it is called weight-lifting; if you can hold something up but can never put it down, it's called burden-bearing. Pitifully, most of people are bearing heavy burdens when they are in love.
