If you are referring to hepatitis the answer is no.

Yes, I do believe there is something to the MMR link with autism. My son has autism,and I refuse immunizations, he has never received them, so I don't believe it is the sole cause of it. Some of the things you heard here are wrong. The flu shot still has thimerasol in it. While immunizations are no longer MANUFACTURED using thimerasol, it does still exist. Not only did we send thimerasol-tainted immunizations to other countries to spread autism there, we do still have it here. If you don't check with your dr., or request thimerasol-free immunizations, you still run the risk of dumping mercury into your child. The idea that all these studies 'prove' that there's no link? First, these are people who stand to lose a great deal of money by admitting a link to autism, both because of the law suits from families who have been injured by the shots, and to the people like me who will then refuse the shots simply because once you're lied to your not as likely to go back and trust again. Second, the reports that are saying there is a link, are coming from people who are in a position to conduct these kinds of tests because they were affected by autism, and want answers. I trust them more than I do a profession who used to tell patients with asthma and bronchitis to SMOKE. Now, we know better. How do we know in 30 years, after study upon study, they finally admit to the truth. How many kids were needlessly exposed in that amount of time? Also, here's one most people don't know: There was a report written by the CDC in which they admitted that the amount of mercury being put into the shots were many times about what is considered safe. That report was then suppressed, because of the panic it would cause, and because it would show people how untrustworthy they are. People need to do the research before blindly trust a system that has continuously lied to us, and change their minds from one year to the next as to what is safe or not. Oh, and the theory that the reason why there's more cases today is because of better diagnosis? Don't believe that,either. All the cases that they are looking at to say that there is a link are kids. If the 'better dx was the case, then we would have so many adults coming forward, getting tested, and finding out they have autism. Sorry, don't fall for any of that.\n   Do we know what causes it? Not really. At the same time, we can't rule anything out, either. My belief is that they are born with a TENDENCY to develop autism when exposed to certain environmental factors, like mercury exposure. In my child's case, it was brought out when we moved.

Boy, this is a hard one.  There re so many! Mine would have to be in regards to health care, pharmaceutical science and the vaccination / autism debate.  Big pharm and the CDC still swear that the mercury preservative thimerosal that was once freely pumped through the veins of American Children, has absolutely nothing to do with the huge increase in autism in the last 15 years.  Oddly, now that enough parents and Doctors pushed the CDC to have it remove from vaccines... and the CDC, (in order to appease the general public) politely requested big pharm to remove it from childhood vaccinations...the rates have dramatically dropped, thus the autism epidemic and other neurodevelopmental disorders are on the decline.  The Theory that mercury was safe for tiny children was the biggest scientific blunder of the millennium. Now the health care and educational cost of raising these children will reach well into billions of dollars annually.  (not to mention the grief and hardship of the families of these children)

Hepatitis A is an infectious, contagious disease spread through contaminated sources of food and water or intimate contact. \nAlcohol Hepatitis is the hepatitis of the liver due to over-consumption of alchohol; it is not contagious. If he has been diagnosed with Hepatitis A, then they have taken a blood sample and confirmed his disease through the sample. Hepatitis A will go away eventually as it is a sickness. Hepatitis of the liver (alcohol hepatitis) may or may not go away, depending on choices that your friend makes.

The point is that everyone needs to be vaccinated. I have never been, and I am a 6'3" 3.8 GPA College Student with a 168 IQ. The main reason that people vaccinate is fear. They have done it. Their parents and grandparents have done it, and, therefore, they vaccinate their kids. There is evidence that thimerosal in vaccines can cause autism, and several other conditions. The ironic thing is that even if vaccines were necessary, they would not be necessary for everyone. There would simply have to be a high enough percentage to slow the spread of a disease so that it can be contained. In reality, though, this is not true. Statisitcs show that many of the people who are affected in were vaccinated. I would, however, discourage a quest for resolution on this one. The medical community is not at all willing to take this issue seriously and you are just going to be getting a lot of sheep mad. Good luck though. It is a serious issue.

I think its fairly high. I got it in my late 30's, my brother who lives in a completely different country got it in his early 30's.\n\nThere are some pretty good drugs now to make the whole thing pretty mild.\n\nChildren today, receive vaccines and so will not typically get it.

I have recently read that there is a vaccine that they are starting trials in...the catch, you must be a virgin. They will not do trials on women that have already been sexually active. The research shows it is 100% effective...too little too late for the women who have it, but good for the younger generations.

Someone should call the local Health Department.  There are many risks and there are strict guidelines for distributing, storing, and giving shots of any kind.  This can't possibly have been given buy licensed professionals.  If so their license to practice needs to be seriously looked into.  Everything you've mentioned is against all Health laws.  Call the Health Department immediately and report this.

As the father of an Autistic daughter, I can say with no doubt whatsovever that the MMR vaccination trigered my daughter's Autism. She came out of the Pediatrician's office after receiving this mutiple vaccination and began banging her head on the ground, screaming at the top of her lungs. She screamed and banged her head on the ground for about a year after that vaccination. The Pediatrician said it had nothing to do with the vaccinations... He was a liar. They know and vaccinate anyway. \n\nA child's liver is not even fully developed or capable of handling the 72 plus toxins administered to a child by the the time they are six months of age. Ethical doctors in the past would never vaccinate a child less than six months of age. In addition, a child's brain is not fully developed until they are closeer to two years of age. Pediatricians know their window of time they have with children in their care is limited so they have to begin at birth administering vaccinations and keep every child they can get into their office on the deadly vaccination schedule to make a living.\n\nAt the very least a parent should not give their children any vaccinations until they are at least two years of age but I think that age five would be a better age as most Austism begin before age five. Then consider that most vaccines that are supposedly designed to prevent diseases cause more of the diseases to those who are vaccinated than occurs to those who choose not to vaccinate.\n\nIf you do the least little bit of research about vaccines, you would never abuse! your child with poison but doctors today are not ethical. Who do you think is the least likely to vaccinate their children? Answer: Pediatricians.\n\n\nBecome educated about this issue. You think it will not happen to your child...

HEPATITIS C is contracted through blood-to-blood contact. Things to ask: Risky sex, acupuncture without proper autoclaving of needles (ask if needles are disposable-safest), Tattooing with repeat needle use, Using someone elses razor, needle stick of used needle,.There are vaccinations for hep. A, and hep. B, but none for Hep. C.  There are, however, treatments. Hep. C may lie dormant for years, so early detection is best if you suspect you've been infected. There are more behaviors that cause C., so I would suggest that you research yourself. Call your local health dept., and they will provide you with all the information you need. They will advise you as to whether you should be tested. Contact your physician, too\n\nAsking or answering any medical question online, is very dangerous. You will find that laymen, or people who are not qualified to do either, will anyway. They don't seem to get  the picture of possibly putting someone in great medical danger. There is no substitute for education. One of my concerns is that many of these people think that they really do know what they're talking about, and you are likely to choose an answer from one of them, and take their advise. So, I would advise anyone reading this to stop giving unprofessional opinions, as that is all they are. Remember, as well, that giving medical advise without a license, is a federal offense.Even as a professional, I give nothing but direction. This is not my field. That's why I suggested that you get your answers from the ones who are better qualified.

The consuption of alcohol - even large amounts - does not affect hepatitis B vaccine.  In turn - the vaccine poses no threat to the liver.  Thus - in the short term - there is no concern.  Alcohol - however - remains the 2nd leading cause of preventable illness, disability, and death in the United States.  As difficult as such discussions may be - if you are truly concerned - you should speak with your friend about minimizing or ideally eliminating the consumption of alcohol.

If they have hepatitis B & C it is safe to visit them as long as you don't swap body fluids or engage in any activities that might expose you to blood.  Hep A is fine just be sure to wash your hands afterwards, and before touching your eyes or mouth, or eating anything.

unfortunatly not.  While it can help assist those who have a weak immune system due to an illness it can not completely replace it.  No matter how many pills we took and how many vaccines we were given, if we didn't have an immune system we would not survive.
