Pediatrician Survey: 21% Kicked Families out of Practice for Vaccine Refusal

The CBCD has learned that the Wall Street Journal has put out an article referencing a study of Connecticut pediatricians published last year.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) - Feb 19, 2012 -
The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD) has learned that the Wall Street Journal has published an article referencing a study of Connecticut pediatricians published last year. In that study, some 30% of 133 doctors said they had asked a family to leave their practice for vaccine refusal, and a recent survey of 909 Midwestern pediatricians found that 21% reported discharging families for the same reason.

According to the article, Douglas Diekema, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington in Seattle said “There’s more noise among pediatricians, more people willing to argue that it’s OK to do this versus 10 years ago.” [1]

While the CBCD understands that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and AAP issue an annual recommended vaccination schedule that many physicians feel compelled to follow, new research by Dr. Hanan Polansky and the CBCD shows that there may indeed be a linkage between many vaccines and disease conditions.

For instance, many vaccines such as the HPV vaccine, Gardasil contain DNA fragments. While the FDA admits on its website that Gardasil (and other biologics) contain DNA fragments, they say that these fragments pose no risk to the health of those receiving the vaccine. In contrast, Dr. Hanan Polansky and the CBCD believe otherwise.

Dr. Hanan Polansky discovered the biological mechanism through which foreign DNA causes disease. It is called Microcompetition with Foreign DNA. Dr. Polansky’s “Purple Book” discusses these concepts and is available as a free download at: http://www.cbcd.net.

Dr. Waldemar A. Schmidt, MD, PhD – Professor Emeritus, Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, Oregon Health and Science University said of the book: “… I believe that all biomedical researchers in virtually all endeavors would benefit from reading the book. In addition, the concepts need to be integrated into the medical curriculum, as well as studies for biomedical research students.”

Thus, many parents may indeed be justified in being cautious when it comes to vaccinating their children with certain vaccines.

In light of the study referenced above, and in the Wall Street Journal, the CBCD especially encourages physicians (as well as virologists, biologists, geneticists, scientists and the general public) to obtain a copy of Dr. Hanan Polansky’s book and read it. The book is available as a free download from the CBCD website.

The CBCD endorses Dr. Polansky’s theory and invites family doctors, pediatricians, scientists, the media, and the general public to contact us on this issue.

The CBCD believes that by developing techniques that target dormant viruses within the body, many of today’s diseases can be overcome.

The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD, http://www.cbcd.net) is a research center recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) non-for-profit organization. The mission of the CBCD is to advance the research on the biology of chronic diseases, and to accelerate the discovery of treatments for these diseases.

The CBCD published the “Purple” book entitled “Microcompetition with Foreign DNA and the Origin of Chronic Disease” written by Dr. Hanan Polansky. The book presents Dr. Polansky’s highly acclaimed scientific theory on the relationship between the DNA of latent (chronic) viruses and the onset of chronic diseases. Dr. Polansky’s book is available as a free download from the CBCD website.

We invite biologists, virologists, and scientists everywhere to download Dr. Polansky’s book.

Brad Rickerby Photos And Paintings
To Show At Cherry Branch In March

An exhibit by just one artist who works in two media will open at the Cherry Branch Gallery in Cherry Valley, New York, on 3 March 2012.  Bradford Rickerby, a well established news photographer, began using his camera to create abstract impressions of street life from Times Square to Japan’s Ginza a decade ago.  More recently he has begun to paint abstractions — and sometimes to use both brush and camera to capture, as he puts it, “the interactions among and between color, light and movement.”

Brad Rickerby might just as well have been born with a camera in his hand. The son of LIFE staff photographer Arthur Rickerby,  he developed a profound visual aesthetic early on and had his first publication credit in LIFE in 1966 at the age of nine. ??Rickerby flirted with the business world in the ’80′s, earned an MBA (Duke, ’89.) He worked on Wall Street but soon found that “my creative roots were stronger than my desire for wealth.”  His re-birth into art came in 1991 when he started shooting for the Brooklyn (NY) Phoenix. From there he went on to do paparazzi work for Sipa Press and eventually to news photography for Reuters based out of New York City. ??In 1998, based on his developing Photoimpressionism and City Lights projects, Rickerby signed a contract with Tony Stone (later Stone, still later Getty). ??Through distributions by Getty, Reuters, and SipaPress, Rickerby’s work has been published on six continents and by virtually every major publication in the world. His images have also been widely used by corporations, governments and institutions. .??Rickerby began painting In 2004. He works in a variety of media (oil, acrylic, watercolor etc.) matching the media to suit the mood of the image he wants to create.  Rickerby’s paintings share many similarities to his photography. They all revolve around the aesthetics of abstraction, chaos and tranquility.

In March of 2012 Rickerby will have his first solo show at the Cherry Branch Gallery in upstate New York. The show will feature both paintings and photographs. In both media, the style of the images will focus on light and color and movement. The interplay of these elements has been a fascination of Mr. Rickerby for the past two decades. Those wishing an invitation to the show or to see the artists paintings, please contact us.

Rickerby’s work may be seen at his website, http://www.bradrickerby.photoshelter.com.  He also writes a blog: http://www.bradrickerby.wordpress.com.  The Cherry Branch Gallery is located at 25 Main Street in Cherry Valley, New York.  The Rickerby show will open on 3 March 2012 and run through 5 April 2012.  A reception for the opening will be held from 5 to 7 PM on 3 March. The artist will be attending.
