Adverse Reactions to Medications

A case of medically unjustified treatment with multiple mega doses of vitamin C with thyroid hormones that caused serious adverse reactions in a woman

Medical Veritas. 4:1235-43.

Abstract: Christine, a 40-year-old white female, suffered suddenly from a fatigue syndrome in August 2000. Her blood and urine analyses, chest x-ray, abdominal ultrasound exam were normal. She consulted with several physicians who treated her symptoms and she made progressive recovery in her health. In February 2003, she felt that she had about 80% of her energy back and she was working full time. However, she consulted with a physician in California to get her full energy back and he recommended a detoxification treatment plan with high doses of vitamin C, glutathione, minerals, and vitamins. He gave her 39 intravenous injections of vitamin C (10-35 g per injection), glutathione (0.4-2.0 g per injection), calcium, and other vitamins for about 10 months. In addition, he also treated her with therapeutic doses of levothyroxine and cytomel for more than a year, although she had normal thyroid functions.

Christine’s clinical record indicates that she suffered from symptoms of hypercalcaemia and calciurea as a result of her treatment with vitamin C and calcium. The treatment with thyroid hormones also aggravated her condition and she became a 100% disabled. I have not found any medical justification for the use of detoxification agents or the treatment with thyroid hormones in this case. Christineís blood, urine and hair analyses revealed that she was not exposed to chemicals at her workplace or home or ingested toxic chemicals. In addition, Christineís blood thyroid hormones levels were within the normal range and she was not suffering from hypothyroidism.

Adverse Reactions to Vaccines

Analysis of causes that led to the development of vitiligo in Jeanett’s case with recommendations for clinical tests and treatments.

Medical Veritas. 4: 1251-62.

Abstract: At the age of two years, Jeanett developed vitiligo within days of receiving her first MMR vaccine and the fourth injection of DTaP and IPV vaccines. Furthermore, at five years of age, she developed many more unpigmented spots on her body with acrofacial vitiligo, following receipt of the second injection of MMR and the fifth injection of DTaP and IPV vaccines. Jeanett’s susceptibility to developing adverse reactions to vaccine was notable a few hours after birth following receiving her first injection of the hepatitis B vaccine. Furthermore, the intensity and the frequency of her adverse reactions to vaccines were significantly increased following receipt of more doses of hepatitis B, DTaP, IPV, Hib, and MMR vaccines. Jeanett’s health condition during her second year of life, when she was not given any vaccine was better than during her first year of life, when she received several vaccines.

It is likely that the MMR vaccine induced the depigmentation of Jeanett’s skin through local and systemic autoimmune reactions. Synergistic actions between the MMR vaccine and other vaccines given to Jeanett could also be involved in causing the depigmentation of her skin. I believe that Jeanett should not receive any vaccines in the future. Vaccines probably will aggravate her present illness and trigger more illnesses. Jeanett was treated with corticosteroids ointment but the steroid did not help in stopping the depigmentation of her skin. Recommendations for clinical tests and treatment plans are presented in this report that I believe will help Jeanett’s pediatrician to better monitor and treat her vitiligo.

Severe hair loss induced by anthrax vaccine and reversed by the treatment with zinc

Abstract: A USA Air Force Master Sergeant suffered severe hair loss from the scalp and face a few weeks after receipt of his fifth dose of anthrax vaccine. He also suffered from a reduction in his eyesight, insomnia, headaches, involuntary twitches of the right arm muscle, and memory loss. In addition, he felt chronically tired, had hot and cold flashes on his head, and cold flashes on the back of his neck. My investigation of this case revealed that hair loss and serious systemic illness have also been reported by some other individuals who received anthrax vaccine and other vaccines. Differential diagnosis was used to evaluate the medical evidence in this case to identify the causes of illness and hair loss. Treatment with zinc gluconate at a dose level of 60 mg zinc per day for a few months subsequently led to the complete reversal of hair loss in this case. It is plausible that vaccines induced a stage of zinc deficiency by activating the immune system and increased the utilization of zinc. Zinc is an essential element required for
hair metabolism and the activation of the immune system.
