Fish oil vaccine adjuvant programs bodies for "endless loop of self-destruction"
by The Idaho Observer It’s a race—will we all be injected with substances that prog
ram our own bodies to attack us before or after we realize that the newest weapo
n in the New World arsenal is our own immune system? The theory that vaccines pr
event the spread of infectious disease is based upon the belief that, by injecti
ng a small amount of a disease into the body, it will develop "antibodies" that
will prevent the injected person from contracting the disease against which he h
ad been vaccinated. The theory is complicated by the fact that attenuated doses
of pathogens alone will not initiate an "antigenic response." So, vaccines conta
in compounds known as "adjuvants" to intensify the body’s immune response. Traditi
onal adjuvants are alum (aluminum hydroxide), and thimerosal—which is 50 percent e
thyl mercury and also serves as a vaccine "preservative." According to Edda West
, "A quick read of the scientific literature reveals that the neurotoxic effects
of aluminum were recognized 100 years ago." The neurotoxic affects of mercury a
re likewise not a secret and have been documented extensively in the scientific
and medical literature since the mid-1800s. More recently, aluminum has been lin
ked to Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological disorders. Recent medical litera
ture shows that statistically significant numbers of kidney patients and intrave
nously-fed infants exposed to aluminum suffer neurological complications. Other
research shows that pain from muscle diseases is also linked to the presence of
aluminum in the body. Dr. Boyd Haley found that vaccines containing both aluminu
m and mercury greatly magnify the neurotoxic result of vaccination. Most people
understand that both aluminum and mercury are toxic. It is our body’s reaction to
toxic exposure that vaccine advocates measure to determine vaccine efficacy. Tha
t elevated levels of mercury and aluminum can cause side-effects worse than the
disease is not a consideration for most pro-vaccinators. The new wave West, who
is director of the Vaccine Risk Awareness Network in Winlaw, BC, Canada, publish
ed the comprehensive, well-footnoted article "A Look into the Scary World of Vac
cine Adjuvants." The article explains that modern, synthetic or recombinant vacc
ines are "purer" and less toxic to the body than their live and dead virus prede
cessors and, therefore, require more potent adjuvants to illicit an immune respo
nse. "This has created a major need for improved and more powerful adjuvants for
use in these vaccines," the article, Vaccine Adjuvants: current state and futur
e trends, published in the medical journal "Immunology and Cell Biology" stated.
Under this line of logic, alum is scheduled to be phased out and replaced with
oil-based adjuvants such as squalene—an essential fatty acid derived from fish. Sq
ualene "The most effective adjuvants are formulated with oils but have long been
considered too reactive for use in humans. Immunologists have known for decades
that a microscopic dose of even a few molecules of adjuvant injected into the b
ody can cause disturbances in the immune system and have known since the 1930s t
hat oil-based adjuvants are particularly dangerous, which is why their use has b
een restricted to experiments with animals," West wrote. The following (in itali
cs) is from West’s article. Keep in mind that the FDA determined that squalene was
present in varying amounts in specific lots of anthrax vaccine administered to
tens of thousands of Desert Storm personnel (without their informed consent). No
t surprisingly, tens of thousands of Desert Storm veterans have suffered permane
nt neurological damage and exhibit symptoms commonly referred to as "Gulf War Il
lness." "The classic oil-based adjuvant called Freund’s Complete Adjuvant can caus
e permanent organ damage and irreversible disease – specifically autoimmune diseas
es. When scientists want to induce autoimmune disease in a lab animal, they inje
ct it with Freund’s Complete Adjuvant, which causes great suffering and is conside
red by some too inhumane to even inject into animals. "Dr. Jules Freund creator
of this oil-based adjuvant warned in 1956 that animals injected with his formula
tion developed terrible, incurable conditions: allergic aspermatogenesis (stoppa
ge of sperm production), experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (the animal ver
sion of MS), allergic neuritis (inflammation of the nerves that can lead to para
lysis) and other severe autoimmune disorders. "Adjuvants can break ‘tolerance,’ mean
ing they can disable the immune system to the degree that it loses its ability t
o distinguish what is ‘self’ from what is foreign. Normally, the immune system ignor
es the constituents of one’s own body. Immunologists call this ‘tolerance.’

g y, y g y g But if something happens to break tolerance, then the immune system
turns relentlessly self-destructive, attacking the body it is supposed to defen
d." For national security The issue becomes more complicated with oil-based adju
vants that resemble oils found in the human body. West reported that seasoned jo
urnalist Gary Matsumoto found evidence to suggest that, "…when an oil is injected,
the immune system responds to it not only specifically, but with heightened int
ensity because the oil adjuvant resembles so closely the natural oils found in t
he body. A ‘cross reaction’ then happens, sending the immune system into chaos destr
oying any oils found anywhere in the body that resemble the adjuvant oil. Demyel
inating diseases like multiple sclerosis are an example of this destructive auto
immune process." Matsumoto’s impeccably-referenced and footnoted book is entitled,
"Vaccine A-The Covert Government Experiment That’s Killing our Soldiers and Why G
I’s are Only the First Victims." West noted that Matsumoto, who was the first jour
nalist to break the story of squalene-containing anthrax vaccine’s link to Gulf Wa
r Illness, documented decades of secret medical experimentation on Americans wit
hout their knowledge or consent. "The unethical experiments detailed in this boo
k are ongoing, with little prospect of being self-limiting because they have bee
n shielded from scrutiny and public accountability by national security concerns
," wrote Matsumoto. Biological time bomb Squalene is an oil that is readily dige
stible if taken orally. However, it behaves much differently when injected. Mats
umoto cites data from more than two dozen peer-reviewed scientific papers from 1
0 labs located in countries all over the world that document how squalene-based
adjuvants can trigger the development of autoimmune diseases in lab rats, mice,
guinea pigs and rabbits. Regardless of the known toxic effects on animals and th
e toxic effects on humans as experienced with squalene-containing vaccines given
to Desert Storm personnel, Matsumoto claims, "Squalene adjuvants are a key ingr
edient in a whole new generation of vaccines intended for mass immunization arou
nd the globe." Among the chronic conditions observed in human and animal test su
bjects injected with squalene are rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and l
upus. In her article, "The Adverse Effects of Adjuvants in Vaccines" (Nexus Maga
zine Dec. 2000), Australian vaccine researcher Viera Scheibner, Ph.D., lists the
autoimmune diseases that have been linked to squalene injections in humans—arthri
tis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes,
chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin l
esions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood change
s, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (eryth
rocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, AL
S (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, Raynaud’s phen
omenon, Sjorgren’s syndrome, chronic diarrhoea, night sweats and low-grade fevers.
But that, believe it or not, is the good news because its merely describes squa
lene’s experimental contribution to global epidemics of chronic autoimmune dysfunc
tion. Once it becomes a common ingredient in vaccines (already, the squalene-bas
ed adjuvant MF59 is a component of the Italian flu vaccine FLAUD), it will be be
st described as a biological time bomb. Our own worst enemy From Edda West: "The
immune system does in fact ‘see’ squalene and recognizes it as an oil molecule nati
ve to the body. The key is ‘route of administration.’ As Gary Matsumoto says, ‘Squalen
e is not just a molecule found in a knee or elbow – it is found throughout the ner
vous system and the brain.’ When it is injected into the body, the immune system s
ees it as an enemy to be attacked and eliminated. "As any immunologist will tell
you, the way an antigen encounters the immune system makes all the difference.
You can eat squalene – no problem as it is an oil the body can easily digest. But
studies in animals and humans show that injecting squalene will ‘galvanize the imm
une system into attacking it, which can produce a self-destructive cross reactio
n against the same molecule in the places where it occurs naturally in the body –
and where it is critical to the health of the nervous system.’ "This phenomenon is
also known as ‘molecular mimicry,’ where the immune system forms antibodies against
 one of its own structures and will continue to attack the ‘self’ molecule in the bo
dy that resembles the one in the germ, or as is the case with squalene, an ident
ical substance that is naturally present in the body. Once this self-destructive
process begins, it never stops as the body continues to make the molecule the i
mmune system is now trained to attack. "Another example involving autoimmune ‘mole
cular mimicry’ is when the immune system has been sensitized to attack myelin, the
insulating fatty coating around nerve fibres which insures the smooth relay of
nerve signals. The body would continue to make myelin in order to replenish and
repair the protective sheath around its nerve endings. But says Matsumoto, ‘In the
act of doing so, the body immunizes itself against itself, administering over a
nd over again what amounts to a booster dose of something that the immune system
now wants to get rid of. This vital constituent (myelin) is now the enemy, and
the immune system is now programmed to obliterate it in an endless loop of self-
destruction—the process involved in MS (multiple sclerosis), and ALS (Lou Gehrig’s d
isease). "Squalene is a kind of trigger for the real biological weapon: The immu
ne system. When the immune system’s full repertoire of cells and antibodies start
attacking the tissues they are supposed to protect the results can be catastroph
ic " wrote Matsumoto Dr Pam Asa concurs

antibodies start attacking the tissues they are supposed to protect, the results
can be catastrophic, wrote Matsumoto. Dr. Pam Asa concurs with Matsumoto when s
he stated," Oil adjuvants are the most insidious chemical weapon ever devised."
West continues, "The main proponents for the use of squalene in vaccines have be
en the U.S Department of Defense and the NIH. The anti-squalene antibodies found
in sick American and British military personnel are evidence that military expe
rimentation has caused an unprecedented health catastrophe in tens of thousands
of people onto whom the vaccine was forced and who were denied the right to make
an informed decision based on existing scientific knowledge of the dangers of i
njecting squalene." Based upon decades of research in animals and humans, once o
il-based adjuvants become the most common adjuvant contained in vaccines, there
will be no way the pharmaceutical industry will be able to claim mass vaccinatio
n is necessary to prevent the spread of infectious diseases—it will be an open dec
laration of war on mankind. "By adding squalene to their new anthrax vaccine, th
ey did not make a better vaccine, they made a biological weapon," Matsumoto obse
rved.
