But have they also maimed the brains of countless children? Is the steady rise in autism, attention deficit disorder (ADD) and other brain disorders linked to the tiny drops of toxic mercury which have been injected into the bloodstreams of millions of infants during government vaccination campaigns? Since the 1930s ethyl mercury has been added to a variety of vaccines as a preservative, in the form of Thimerosal. Although mercury is a powerful brain poison, the use of Thimerosal was justified on the basis that it preserved vaccines from bacterial contamination and because only tiny, harmless traces of this poison would enter human blood and brains. Nevertheless, concern has been mounting in the United States and other nations that Thimerosal is largely, or at least partly, responsible for the steady increase in a wide range of neurodevelopmental (brain-related) sicknesses - including autism, stammering, tics, sleeping and eating disorders, attention deficit disorder, speech and language disorders, seizures and co-ordination problems. Barbara Fisher, co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Centre, a United States public education group set up by the parents of vaccine-injured children, has warned of a widespread erosion of public trust in the American health profession and mass vaccination programmes. "More and more parents are reporting that their healthy children are regressing into autism after vaccination, and there are nearly 5 000 autism vaccine injury cases pending in the US Court of Claims," Fisher told a National Academy of Sciences hearing in 2004. Coincidentally, she said, a government health agency had quickly assembled a committee to hide and restrict access to official vaccine injury databases. "Many parents of vaccine-injured children don't think it's a coincidence, just like they don't think it's a coincidence when a healthy child goes in for vaccinations and then regresses physically, mentally and emotionally and becomes a totally different child." Seizures Despite mounting evidence of serious harm, the official message that was sent to the media and the public was to "keep on vaccinating", even if their children had experienced seizures during earlier vaccinations. "(But) if you keep on vaccinating in the face of seizures you have a very good chance of ending up with a severely brain-damaged child who drools and twitches, and can't learn to read and write or go to the bathroom without help or grow up to drive a car and go to college and get a job and be a productive member of society," declared Fisher, whose son is described as vaccine-injured. Some of the first red flags were raised in the early 1980s, when the US Food and Drug Administration was asked to phase out Thimerosal from all over-the-counter medical products. But the main controversy erupted in 1999 when the US Public Health Service and the American Academy of Paediatrics issued a joint statement calling for the removal of all Thimerosal vaccines "as soon as possible" after studies which showed that some children were receiving as much as 200 microgrammes of mercury during the first six months of their lives - a level which exceeded safety guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Since then, battle lines have been drawn between experts who defend the use of this preservative, and those who fear that government medical agencies and the pharmaceutical industry have conspired to conceal the real dangers of Thimerosal out of fear that they will be sued by the parents of brain- damaged children around the world. The World Health Organisation issued a statement in 1999 supporting the development of new Thimerosal-free vaccines, but continues to argue that its risks are "small" and theoretical. Major vaccine-making companies began to remove Thimerosal from childhood vaccines soon afterwards, yet it is still used in many parts of the world in vaccines for flu and other sickness. The watershed year of 1999 also marked the birth of the so-called "Brighton Collaboration", a body of public and private medical experts which assumed the role of spreading "high quality information about the safety of human vaccines". Remarkably, one of the co-founders of this quasi-government, quasi-private body was Elisabeth Loupi from the French vaccine and pharmaceutical company Aventis Pasteur. The collaboration also declared its willingness to accept funding from pharmaceutical industries and to allow industry scientists to sit on its expert working groups and committees. This enraged several groups, including Congressman Dave Weldon, who argued that the collaboration merged the regulators and regulated into an indistinguishable group. Weldon said it was unacceptable that vaccine manufacturers would chair or sit on the panels which adjudicated vaccine safety issues. He was also scathing about the role of Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which oversees the US government's vaccination and immunisation programmes. "I want to make it clear that I support vaccinations. My 5-year-old son has had all of his vaccinations. However, I also believe it is appropriate to acknowledge that, like with any medical intervention, different individuals respond differently. We are all unique, we all have a different genetic makeup, and what may cause no harm in one individual just might be harmful in another." Testifying Lynn Redwood, the mother of an autistic child and President of the Coalition of Safeminds organisation, has also spoken out strongly against the response of American government agencies on the Thimerosal issue. Testifying before a US House of Representatives committee in 2004, Redwood recalled that it had been several years since the first official calls had been made for Thimerosal to be removed from vaccines. "We could not have imagined that in 2004 Thimerosal would still be in vaccines and that the government agencies tasked with protecting the public would have failed to take aggressive action to get the mercury out and to protect our nation's children," she said. "We could not have imagined that they would, instead, have focused their energies on avoiding or hiding the truth that is before them, and in so doing undercut the public's trust while continuing to put babies at risk." She said the Food and Drug Administration had repeatedly failed to ask tough questions about Thimerosal or to require proof of safety while allowing its increased use in vaccines. The agency had been "asleep at the switch" and seemed to have abdicated its responsibility to the public. "I and many of my medical colleagues remain astonished that we even have to ask the FDA to stop allowing mercury to be injected into our babies," she said. "We have trusted that the FDA was doing its job . . . (but) that trust has been proven undeserved in this case." The CDC had been even more egregious, she claimed. "At every turn, when the CDC could have alerted the public and taken a strong stand against the use of Thimerosal, they have chosen instead to promote flawed epidemiology studies as proof that no evidence of harm existed." If the uninformed public accepted at face value the statements of the CDC website, they would conclude that Thimerosal had been rigorously tested and that it posed few risks. "Nothing could be further from the truth," Redwood argued. More recently, a study by father and son medical researchers David and Mark Geier has suggested a clear correlation between a drop in autism rates in the United States and the gradual phasing out of Thimerosal from childhood vaccines, which began in 1999. A spokesman for the national Health Department said yesterday he was not in a position to respond immediately to a list of questions about the use and regulation of Thimerosal in South Africa. The department said it hoped to compile responses to the questions by Friday. Published on the web by Mercury on May 18, 2006. --------------------------------- © Mercury 2006.

I am also not regular, except I have a constant and live urge to do something for our country. I still believe that we have to acquire organizational skills (organizing developments and seeing it through various stages) I remember one management slogan that if you do not develop the skills required to hold a higher position, you will not get the promotion to the next level; I hope, why our politicians fail is they do not have the skill and courage to hold offices of leaderships in political arena. For us to get such skills we have to develop them by applying ourselves; our leaders shall evolve from a common platform, atleast a major part of us. The way congress was working for independence or the way Dravidian parties of Tamilnadu was working for few social cause, before they could set their eyes on power. We have to create our brand image of social service and good governance. The recent news in Dailies about LP (BUM's political face) was not pleasant. We have to graduate. Hope, we will do it in a short time.

We shall also consider that I was only last but one in the class at IISc, but a special student for some other reasons. But, on one count we could not lose good talents who are from upper castes, why should we lose them if they are going to help the poor people in rural places. People from rural places very well know that upper caste people hold very high esteem in schools as teachers; not all upper caste people are greedy.. I had a distinction having lived with upper caste people in gurukul for four years; we did not have much differentiation; we mingled together freely; we also know cases where deserving candidates miss the bus because of upper castes; one is my closest friend from my own village, who only got me the engineering application form, if not for him I would have not at all applied for engineering; but, he could not get the admission, although his scores were high... I think the reservation policy must be such that everyone gets the right to pursue his line of choice, scrap all educational college attendance requirements, even for PhD(for which I am now suffering); develop such national 24 hours labs, online and physical for every specialty and remove the discrepancy at the root level itself, at basic level itself. Bring the backward children to the level of upper caste children before they leave the primary schools! The opportunity cost of not giving the right choice of education to each child of this country would be more costlier. I should also mention this: we (myself- backward and few friends from upper castes) respect each other for our respective intellegnece and capabilities, each had our own strengths and weakness. By the age of 12 to 14 we should have the courage that we can live happily in this world, why should one worry about not getting a job, a job is always there for one to grab. We should also consider the aspect that every IIM and IIT person wishing to become a Bill_Gates or so. Although, I could not make it even to 10% of my dream to have a break-through, although I could enter IISc, as a boy I wanted to become one like Sir C V Raman. I declare that all corrupt money in this country should be recovered and applied for education. Education shall lead to self-development, confidence, courage to achieve goods for our nation and to the societies. Puru --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo!

One like Guru Nanak and other like Guru Gobind Singh. Both of them were men of god but their was a slightest difference between their ideologies. Job of one starts when job of other ends. Its nice that some people still believe that such reforms can still bring changes. But do you think that people like these corrupt politicians will enable you to reach your goals?

Reservations http://groups.google.com/group/BM_discussion/browse_thread/thread/658263db7138e850 ============================================================================== == 1 of 2 == Date: Sun, May 21 2006 7:08 pm From: "Vishesh Gaur" Hi All, I think, now, reservation should be removed becasue it is only widening the gap between two societies and the most importantly it is stopping brilliant students from getting good education which is thier right. Moreover, reservation is also there in promotions which resulted in promotion on the basis of castes instead of one's ability and competency. This is in turn against the constitutional right of every one which guarantees every one to enjoy same rights, opportunities in India. So, in my opinion if politicians really want to help the poor and backward class they should provide them money and other facilities to do their studies. Then, everyone will be having similar chance to get the education and the job.

We can't say this a secular society until our constitution needs the second\sur name of a person. It means distinction is being made on the basis of second\sur name of a person between citizens of India. Its like dividing India with virtual boundaries. We don't need partitioned India, we need one India. But on the other part as the speed of herd depends on it's slowest element same as for the country. Progress of the country depends on it's least progressed man. But, reservation on the basis of caste\religion isn't the right way to improve that. It's the only way to make vote bank. If the reservation was made on the basis of a person's financial factor it may be better. And the consequences associated with it are same as that of reservation made on the basis of caste\religion. So, i would say please do understand what is the real desire of these corrupt politicians and do vote against reservation. Help India to become really secular country. ============================================================================== TOPIC: Self - Realization as per Shaiva Agamas http://groups.google.com/group/BM_discussion/browse_thread/thread/ddddd4cd73275e7b ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Mon, May 22 2006 12:31 pm From: "Virendra Qazi" Pranam! Kindly meditate on the core, the entire knowledge of Shaiva Agamas. The total sum up: 1) Param Shiva (Ultimate Reality); 2) Anugarh (Descend of Divine Grace). 3) All knowledge ends here, there is no third word. Now what is self - realization? As per Abhinavagupta, recognition is realization - individual "I" is part of "Supreme I". Infact nothing has to be realized. Therefore, we focus on the reconition or discovery of yourself as one with the Param Shiva. This awareness or realization comes through Trika Yoga. Virendra Delhi / India ============================================================================== TOPIC: Chapter Activities! http://groups.google.com/group/BM_discussion/browse_thread/thread/b01269f9e93204ba ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Mon, May 22 2006 8:01 pm From: "Moderator BharatUdayMission" Dear Brothers and Sisters, This mail has following topics: 1. FINALLY WE KICKSTART OUR ACTIVITIES!! - NASHIK CHAPTER 2. Report - Polio Drive 21st May'06 : PUNE CHAPTER 3. Hyderabad Chapter Meeting Minutes 4. Urgent : Delhi University 1. FINALLY WE KICKSTART OUR ACTIVITIES!! - NASHIK CHAPTER Finally today the Nashik chapter has started off with the activities. Today 12 of us participated in the polio eradication drive. Participants: 1. Tushar Godbole 2. Yashpal Gogate 3. Aditya Gogate 4. Upendra Vaidya 5. Manish Deshpande 6. Abhilasha Ahire 7. Purva Ahire 8. Vasundhara Kairnar 9. Himanshu Matsye 10. Anshul Pancholi 11. Radhika Gupte 12. Vishvesh Gilda The task: We were assigned the task of manning 4 different booths under the Panchavati area, as there was an acute shortage of manpower. We managed to give drops to more than 650 children in our booths. All of us were at the assigned booths at 8 am, and almost all of us were there throughout the day till 5pm when the booths closed. Special mention must be made of abhilasha and purva who managed a booth in the absence of even a single health worker. Yashpal, along with Tushar did a great job of coordinating with the health authorities. The rest of the members also did a great job, especially at a time when there was a shortage of health workers due to the marriage season. It was really great that 12 people turned up, when we were actually expecting only 4 people (according to the minutes of the last meeting). Thus, this became a major chapter activity with most active members participating. We have unanimously decided (along with CPT ) that we will have media coverage of this activity. So we will be using our links in the newspapers to highlight this activity of ours along with the phone nos. of a few members for propagation purpose. 2. Report - Polio Drive 21st May'06 : PUNE CHAPTER Hi, Wonderful job again !!. Volunteers have set an example yet again by making this activity a huge success. Hats-off for their efforts .They have added another feather in BM'cap.They made this activity look very easy. This activity looks fairly simple on paper but in reality it is a tough job because people were not aware about the polio the drive, many don't go to the booth also, this is not in the case of remote places but also in areas where there are polio booths which are setup and have an awareness campaign also. Following is the list of volunteers how carried this activity. Team A 1.Priyanka Mehta 2.Santosh Kolte 3.Punit Shiknis 4.Mangesh Edke 5.Prafulla Mankar 6.Balaji C 7.Vihang Sapale 8.Rohan Rasane Team B 9. Manoj Tiwari 10. Prashant Nandi 11. Pankaj Arora 12. Amol Deep 13. Satya V 14. Akshay Sangekar 15. Chetan Pawar 16. Prashant Kagawade 17. Pratik Khadloya 18. Abhijeet Rajwade Volunteers assembled at City Pride,Satara Road, at 7.30 am. Dr Dighe (Government Medical Officer) provided Polio Vaccines and Vaccine Carrier. The objective of the Polio Drive was the same as the drive which was done on 9th April .It was to cover houses of laborers, wagers, Construction sites, migrants, Street Hawkers community etc. which remain uncovered due to lack of records on the local government database. Volunteers were grouped in two teams to carry this activity. We were a bit anxious at the start because we thought no one would entertain us, this proved to be wrong as people living in these remote areas gave us full support in what we were doing. This was the first time our team wore the BM T-shirt for the purpose of propagation. The areas of Pune that were covered are 1. Mitra Mandal Canal side slums 2. Treasure park and the nearby area,Sahakarnagar 3. Walawekar Nagar and nearby area 4. Panchawati Construction, 5. Ambedkar Vasahat 6. Padmavati Nagar remote areas 7. Katraj Slums 8. KK Market Canal Slums 9. Lake town Construction and near by construction site 10. Wonder City Area Ambegaon The total number of children vaccinated by our volunteers is 472!!(This amount is a huge amount considering the areas which were covered.) Thanks a lot volunteers for carrying out this activity with excellence. This activity was a grand Success, and I hope that we succeed similarly in all the activities we carry out. What we learned from this activity:- People come ahead if we are doing any social activity. Other areas which need attention : While we were vaccinating the children we have found out that the children in the construction need some special attention, may it be health wise(many children seemed to have some kind of infection ) ,economic support by education and also financial support. Regards Rohan 3. Hyderabad Chapter Meeting Minutes Date: 20th May, Saturday Time: 10 am Venue: MJ College, Banjara Hills Members who attended the meeting(in the order signed): Tanvir, Deepti, rouha, Anshuman, chaitanya, Chetan, Ali, Manoj, Karthik, Rahul, Ashutosh, Prashanth, Sreeram, Niranjan, Harish, Sridhar, Harinder, Rakesh, Soumya, Rahul.

All those interested may contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the team you are interested in being a part of. 4. Update about the *OGH Sanitation & Awareness Drive.* - June 11th, Sunday Please find attached the mail that can be sent to your friends and colleagues. There is also a mail for sponsorship. If you have contacts in your company or elsewhere, who can sponsor this event, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also read http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BM_hyderabad/message/683 (the drive is on June 11th) 5. *Reservations* issue A few individuals from Bhumi will be participating in the Anti-Reservations Rally from Indira Park. We had discussions about our stand on this issue. We've decided to: 1. Start a fund for supporting educational initiatives and support schools for the underprivileged. In this regard, we are going to be proactive instead of taking to the streets. 2. School Enrollment Drives in backward areas. We will have awareness drives and motivate children to join School. Both these initiatives ensure that Bhumi is NOT portrayed as being against the underprivileged which may happen if we participate in the anit-Reservation protests(even though most protests are against Reservations in it's current form, the message is usually lost) and we will be actively helping the people for whom these reservations were conceptualized in the first place. For more details regarding our stand on Reservations, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6. *Propagation* Many members feel that we have not been concentrating on propagating Bhumi actively in colleges etc. We will begin our Propagation & Career Counselling Drives from June 19th. We require members who can devote 3 hours a day(on weekdays) for this activity. Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you're interested. 7. *Auction of Jute Bags* We had an auction of the jute bags that were given by our members at the Bangalore chapter. The auction started at Rs. 251. All 3 bags were sold for Rs. 300. The proud owners of the Bhumi jute bags are Harinder, Rakesh and Manoj. (Rs. 750 will be given to the Bangalore Chapter and Rs. 150 will go into the Bhumi, Hyd fund). 8.

My thoughts http://groups.google.com/group/BM_discussion/browse_thread/thread/b79a965829ec5c9 ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Mon, May 22 2006 11:24 pm From: "Prahalathan KK" Hi, Students from the so called 'Forward castes' could get only 28 of the 1224 MBBS seats in Tamil Nadu in 2005! In my batch at Madurai Medical College there was only one guy from the FC in the whole batch of 156 that entered in 1999. So who exactly needs a reservation? I think a discussion about this is flooding the mail boxes of people. I've written something on my blog... please leave your comments with your email ID (like this Prahalathan AT hotmail DOT com) if you want me to get back to you. I'll respond ASAP. I'll reply to all your comments on the blog at night so you can come back for my reply if necessary. BTW I'm one of the moderators of Chennai Chapter. I joined this group only recently. Regards, Prahalathan. http://www.prahalathan.blogspot.com/ Asatoma sadgamaya, Tamasoma jyotirgamaya, Mrutyorma amrutangamaya.
