SIGNIFICANT CASE HISTORY RESULT IN ‘ROTARIX’ VAX DAMAGE
PATIENT DETAILS
DATE: February 2011.
Mother of a vaccine damaged 2 yr old girl child (Emily d.o.b. 6/3/009) presented on phone, in considerable distress, from Port Stephens, NSW.
MAIN PRESENTING SYMPTOMS:
• Lower Abdominal and anal, extreme intermittent pain (‘in bouts’) from long-term constipation, “moving bowel every sixteen days” and on one occasion, “tore her bottom open”.
• During ‘binding-up’ periods she was vomiting, and “smashing her head against the cot in agony” – to distract her from the ‘real’ pain.
• Fevers, some reaching as high as 41 0 (from her ‘Adverse Event’ report).
PRIOR HISTORY:
• Mother reported Emily “was a picture of health” until 17 weeks
• Having at least one bowel movement daily.
• June 17, 2009 – was vaccinated with an oral rotavirus (‘Rotarix’)
• From that day she ‘pooed’ every sixteen days – only.
• She no longer slept or ate properly
• She failed to gain weight
• Mother “became frantic, going from one doctor to another trying to find diagnosis” – 8 months of continual referral. “They did not know what to do”.
• Mother was sent to a psychiatrist and underwent 4 months counselling
• After another 14 days no stool, mother became very alarmed and drove her to specialist in Sydney (2.5 hr journey)
• Emily was “blocked from anus to stomach” and given an enema and suppository.
• Specialist said: “If you had not acted fast she could have died from toxic shock”.
• Mother said she felt vindicated, after being considered hysterical without reason. Especially considering her strong science background after studying micro-biology at University.
MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS:
Page2
• Mother then took Emily to Hospital (both the Mater in Newcastle and West Mead Childrens “Adverse Events Unit”), where two doctors agreed that ‘Rotarix’ might have triggered the motility and other gut problems ( “new evidence from Australian and overseas studies shows small increased risk of intussusception in infants following rotavirus vaccination. Risk . . . appears to occur mainly in first 1- 7 days following first dose of vaccine” (Department of Health & Aging – 2011)
• Medical, but unconfirmed, diagnosis: “Chronic pseudo-obstruction, extremely hard stools, significant gut dysmotility, severe abdominal pain”.
• Later, (April 2011), we ordered Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis which showed high levels of arsenic, lead, aluminium, and mercury.
MEDICATIONS/SUPPLEMENTS (used over five months treatment period)
• Blackmores CF 43 (later plus PP 85) – one b.i.d.
• Zymax Enzymes – at meals 1/3 teaspoon in little warm water
• ‘Oxycolonic Powder’ (Mg Oxide 1.6 gm +Mg Carbonate 400 mg) – as needed
• Bifido bacterium infantis – teaspoon X 3 times daily (initially) then X 1
• ‘Kakadu’ juice (antioxidant/phytonutrient-based elixir) – 10 mls at feeds
• Enema outfit – use daily or as necessary
• Bentonite Claybaths -X 3 weekly
• Lymphomyosot (homeopathic-commenced later) – 3 drops t.d.s. away from meals
• Liquid bovine cartilage (anti-inflammatory) – 3 shallow teaspoons in food – t.d.s.
• 4-Life Transfer Factor – 2 daily (capsules emptied to fluid)
PRACTITIONER REFLECTIONS:
Providentially, several recent previous encounters with severe gut pain in infants and the very young had confirmed the ability of the above interventions to bring about a fast and satisfactory result. Several of these ‘cries for help’ had meant phone consults, and I had not met some of the happy mothers who applied the treatment. One of these came from a practitioner in Canberra who sought my advice; another was a mother to a 19 weeks baby, also in great distress (being told by her doctor to have even more antibiotics – which had not worked), and there were several others. In these cases the use of bifido bacterium infantis, CF 43 (fast-acting elasticiser for connective tissue) plus, in some cases, small amounts of our Oxycolonic powder, was sent Express Post, followed later by Transfer Factor and sometimes enzymes.
I became amazed at the ability of bifido bacterium infantis to reduce pain in an infants gut. But I knew that this foundational probiotic was capable of killing salmonella and other pathogens overnight, and that dysbiosis was the main culprit, possibly causing dysmotility – meaning that infantis could probably moderate the dysbiosis .
Thus it was that the below rather wonderful confirmation of this current case did not surprise me:
Sent: Thursday, 10 February 2011 12:15 PM “Michael, You are my new Hero. My little girl’s bowel emptied yesterday (a combination of the ‘Oxycolonic Powder & digestive enzymes you sent + Blackmores CF 43 and using the enema you advised). She is in SO MUCH LESS PAIN. It was about 1/2 a kilo of lumps she passed! Now she can get on with each day without being in pain. It makes me so angry that things to help her are so readily available and I was never told by these people who call themselves “Health Professionals”. Thanks again….M”
TREATMENT APPROACH:

Rises in dysmotility in children has been discussed widely in medicine in the last two decades. In our ASD practice we find almost every child displaying poor motility and the accompanying complications, including compacted faeces, as ascertained by KUB scan. Emily’s case is the worst I have come across. But I knew from long experience that our ‘heavy’ magnesium powders, (Oxycolonic) draw body fluids through the bowel walls, and rehydrate these compactions very efficiently. I also knew that CF 43 has an amazing fast action on connective tissue, and that combined with a simple enema (bought from the pharmacy) – we should be able to effect a result.
Later, as the crisis period ended and pain subsided we began to work on anti-inflammatory treatment, toxicity reductions (via transdermal chelation – including claybaths, which the little girl loved!) immune boosting and digestion.
FOLLOW-UPS & RESOLUTION:
Last month we at last met Emily and her mother in a face to face consult. A beautiful little blonde girl, full of life and happiness. But with a tremendous fear of any practitioner wanting to examine her – echoes from the past.
Today, Emily is still only moving every four days – a lot better than 16 days! It will take time to repair, but she will I believe completely recover. Her mother is still very happy with her pain-free daughter, and has hope of full recovery, but has natural doubts after going through such an ordeal. However, she is ‘sticking’ to the program, which we will need to fine-tune (which includes a strict gluten and casein free diet).
The immunity factor will be crucial. It is known that a viral vaccine (as rotavirus) can up-regulate the humoral (Th2) cytokines causing unnatural predominance over the natural primary immune cellular defense (Th1) – resulting in viral suppression of interleukin 12, on which the cellular system is largely dependent. [i
1 Kerdiles YM , Sellin CI,Druelle J.Horvat B. Immunosuppression by measles virus: role of viral proteins. Rev Medical Virology, 2006;16:49-63. ] This means the dysbiosis seen in Emily may not be fully recognized by the cellular immunity. There are now signs of strain on her immune system such as continuous stye’s in her eyes. Her growth charts show a decline in growth rate from 17 weeks and that she is now under average for her age.We will rely on continuing use of Transfer Factor, which is an excellent ‘conductor’ of the immune system ‘orchestra’ plus ongoing use of Blackmore’s PP 85 and ML 20 for her peristalsis and nervous system.
UPDATE: 24/6/11 – Father has reported to- day that Emily’s motility is back to normal
