J. Douglas Bremner, Peter McCaffery Abstract Current models of affective disorders implicate alterations in norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, and CRF/cortisol; however treatments targeted at these neurotransmitters or hormones have led to imperfect resolution of symptoms, suggesting that the neurobiology of affectivedisorders is incompletely understood. Until now retinoids have not been considered as possible contributors to affective […]

Gardasil vaccination: Evaluating the risks versus benefits
Natural News
Wednesday, February 23, 2011

All drugs are associated with some risks of adverse reactions and vaccines are no exception. In weighing risks versus benefits, one has to keep in mind that vaccines represent a special category of drugs since they are generally given to healthy individuals. If there are uncertain benefits from a vaccine, only a small level of risk of harmful effects may be acceptable. If the benefits are certain, then a greater risk of side effects may be tolerated. Here I review the current evidence which indicates that the former case applies to Gardasil, the quadrivalent human papillomavirus (qHPV) vaccine:
To Justice Sotomayor, Proof That Vaccines Cause Autism Is Just One Lawsuit Away

Jim Edwards, February 22, 2011
The Supreme Court’s ruling in the Wyeth vaccine case was a topsy-turvy affair, with arch conservative Justice Antonin Scalia writing a ruling favoring Big Gummint and proto-liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor authoring a scaremongering dissent that suggests vaccines might cause autism and that activist parents may “ultimately be able to prove such a link.”
SaneVax Introduces One More Gardasil Girl: Sara from Utah
SANE Vax, Inc.
HPV vaccines are among the most expensive vaccines on the market. No one knows if they will decrease the rate of cervical cancer; no one knows how many adverse reactions people have endured. Sara is one. When do the risks outweigh the benefits?
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Feb 22, 2011 – At 19 years old, Sara had everything going for her. She was attending Brigham Young University on a full academic scholarship, majoring in Social Work with a minor in women’s studies. In addition to being academically gifted, she had been a dancer for years. She was in excellent health, never smoked or drank alcohol, ate healthy food and exercised regularly. She was a virgin. In short, she was at very minimal risk for cervical cancer.
Proposed new limits on vaccine exemptions: Are they constitutional?
Natural News
Tuesday, February 22, 2011 by: Alan Phillips, J.D.
Health authorities around the country are set on further restricting vaccine exemption rights, probably due to the growing awareness of vaccine problems and increase in exemptions around the country. Currently, proposed laws in Washington State and New Jersey would limit the ability of residents in those states to refuse vaccines. If not stopped, those new restrictions will soon become law and pave the way for further restrictions across the country. Predictably, anti-vaccine activists are opposing these bills, but with state health departments and well-financed pharmaceutical lobbyists on the other side, is a grass roots effort likely to succeed? Hopefully so, but if the proposed laws are shown to raise significant Constitutional issues, anti-vaccine activists may find that they have a “David” advantage against the “Goliath” opposition.
