'Post-vaccination syndrome' has for several years now been an in-creasingly common diagnosis in my daily practice. By degrees I haveestablished an effective method for treating this syndrome. I now con-sider it a duty to publicize my findings: for doctors, parents and anyother persons interested in or concerned with this matter. Consciousof the real significance of this new diagnosis and also of the sensitivenature of the subject, I have compiled this booklet with great care.

Before proceeding to publication I made several sometimes substan-tial changes in the text to incorporate the opinions of a number ofdoctors about the content and presentation of this matter, withouthowever detracting from the its essence. I should therefore like hearti-ly to thank everybody for their suggestions, naming in particular pae-diatrician Yvonne Pernet, classical homoeopath Peter Guinée, health

SUMMARY

Purpose. The recognition of a new syndrome* in medicine, the 'post-vaccination syndrome'*. Also an account of its diagnosis, method oftreatment and prevention.

Scope. The findings are a consolidation of accurate observations overa number of years based on discussion with children's parents andpatients and experience acquired from the treatment and preventionof this disorder.

Method. Homoeopathic techniques, including the use of carefully po-tentised and diluted vaccines for the confirmation of diagnoses, thera-py and prevention, were applied.

Results. The results achieved by the use of potentised vaccines in thediagnosis and at the same time the treatment of PVS (post-vaccinationsyndrome) appear so consistent and successful that the method can

be used to provide a conclusive answer to the sometimes vexed ques-tion of the presence or absence of post-vaccination syndrome in a pa-tient. This will become clear from the description of more than twentycase histories. The extent to which unequivocal results for the preven-tive employment of potentised vaccines to impede the occurrence ofpost-vaccination syndrome can be furnished will have to be demon-strated by means of a parallel research* project.

Recommendations. The insights obtained from careful observationand the use of potentised vaccines have led to a number of recom-mendations with respect to Dutch vaccination policy, as formulatedin the chapter Recommendations.

Conclusions. The 'post-vaccination syndrome' diagnosis has unques-tionably earned a prominent place in paediatrics. The condition can atthe same time be treated successfully by the use of potentised vac-cines as described in this booklet.

INTRODUCTION

My interest in vaccination and its adverse effects dates from the time,some 20 years ago, that my own children were small. Throughout theintervening period I have collated information and, mainly during thelast ten years, have recorded the testimony of my own practice.

Homoeopathic practice has recognized that chronic complaints candevelop following vaccination ever since the general introduction ofsmallpox vaccination in the 19th century. For many years Thuja wasacknowledged by homoeopaths as the proven remedy for these com-

Page 5: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

plaints, whose treatment by homeopathic means however appearedto me to be less than satisfactory. About ten years ago I acquired thebook La médecine retrouvée3 by my colleague Jean Elmiger, whichcaused me to change my methods of treating post-vaccination disor-ders and my feelings of helplessness began gradually to disappear.The method he described was simple and easy to use both for treat-ment and prevention. I made a habit of enquiring about each child'svaccination history and a grateful mother would frequently exclaim:"It's just what I've always said, but nobody would believe me; theysaid those complaints couldn't have anything to do with the vaccina-tions."

Vaccines appear to have more side-effects than has hitherto been ac-cepted. It must be recalled that vaccines are composed of weakened,dead or divided germs or toxins* with their additives, to which impu-rities (aluminium phosphate, aluminium hydroxide, neomycin,thiomersal (a mercury compound), formaldehyde, 2-phenoxyethanol,chicken protein) always cling.

My discussion will show that vaccinations can be responsible for bothacute and chronic health problems.

I should like to bring this booklet to the attention of all doctors, par-ents, patients and any others who have in any way been involvedwith the consequences of vaccination.

My review covers consecutively: the post-vaccination syndrome, thehomoeopathic method, confirmation of the diagnosis, possibilities fortreating PVS, prescription, preventive measures, weakening of thegeneral defence mechanism, recommendations for further research,recommendations for vaccination policy and conclusions.

For ease of readability I have gathered the case histories as far as pos-sible together in a separate chapter at the end, to which the reader canrefer at his convenience.

BASIC DESCRIPTION OF THE 'POST-VACCINATION SYN-DROME'

The symptoms united in this syndrome originate from two sources.On the one hand a large number of these symptoms are frequentlycited in the literature as post-vaccination symptoms; other symptomsare my own observations. It must be stressed in this context that anysymptom that manifests itself following vaccination and only disap-pears after treatment with the potentised vaccine is caused by the vac-cine concerned.

The PVS can be divided into an acute and a chronic syndrome. Thefollowing are the main symptoms of the acute syndrome: fever, con-vulsions, absent-mindedness, encephalitis and/or meningitis, limbsswollen around the point of inoculation, whooping-type cough,bronchitis, diarrhoea, excessive somnolence, frequent and incon-solable crying, penetrating and heart-rending shrieking (criencéphalique), fainting/shock, pneumonia, death, cot death (sincethe Japanese delayed the whooping-cough vaccination to the age oftwo years, cot deaths has been practically obliterated in Japan1).

By carefully studying and recording the cases we arrive at the follow-ing catalogue of chronic post-vaccination symptoms: colds, amber orgreen phlegm, inflamed eyes, loss of eye contact, squinting, inflam-mation of the middle ear, bronchitis, expectoration, coughing, asth-ma, eczema, allergies, inflamed joints, tiredness and lack of vigour,excessive thirst, diabetes, diarrhoea, constipation, head-aches, dis-

Page 7 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

excessive thirst, diabetes, diarrhoea, constipation, head-aches, dis-turbed sleep with periods of waking and crying, epilepsy, rigidityof the back, muscle cramps, light-headedness, lack of concentration,loss of memory, growth disturbances, lack of coordination, dis-turbed development, behavioural problems such as fidgeting,aggressiveness, irritation, moodi-ness, emotional imbalance, confu-sion, loss of will-power, mental torpidity.

This list must needs be incomplete as the symptoms of post-vaccina-tion illness can be extremely varied. The diagnosis is based not somuch on the actual symptom as on the point of time of its appearance.

To add to the complication it is not possible to attribute certain indi-vidual symptoms of the PVS specifically to the DKTP*- or DTP* vacci-nation, others to the MMR-vaccination and yet others to the HIB* vac-cination. In practice it must be accepted that each vaccine can be re-sponsible for several of the symptoms named and also for additionalsymptoms that have not been mentioned.

There is also no clear demarcation between acute and chronic com-plaints as the acute conditions are often the beginning of chronic suf-fering.

The fact that someone has displayed no direct or acute reaction to avaccination does not necessarily exclude the possibility of the vaccinebeing the cause of chronic complaints. These complaints usually be-come clear only after one, two or even more weeks have passed anddismissing a diagnosis of PVS in chronic cases because of the time-lapse between the cause (vaccination) and the appearance of the con-dition is fundamentally wrong. Ellen, case 12, page 29 demonstratesthis. It is often only after the second, third or fourth administration ofthe vaccine that problems suddenly occur. A good example of this is

THE HOMOEOPATHIC METHOD

Diagnosis, treatment and prevention are all carried out according tothe homoeopathic method. A basic knowledge of homoeopathy istherefore necessary. Homoeopathy was discovered and promulgatedworldwide 200 years ago by the German Samuel Hahnemann.

The principles of homoeopathy are based on the law of similars, whichis to say that patients should be treated with medicaments that pro-duce in healthy individuals symptoms that are similar to thosepresent in the patient. Such properties of medicaments are publishedin materia medica. The homoeopathic remedy acts on the deeply seatedenergetic disturbance that is the cause of the disorder. It will be clearthat complaints can only become chronic if the injected substance - Iam limiting my arguments here to problems associated with vaccina-tion - has brought about such an energetic disturbance or directlycaused tissue damage. The injected substance is quickly excreted fromthe body and can only be the cause of continuing disorders when tis-sue has been damaged. Chronic conditions associated with PVS aretherefore mainly based on energy disorders.

Material remedies are too coarsely structured to work directly on theenergetic disturbance. Homoeopathic curative methods thereforemake use of strongly diluted and potentised remedies. Our starting pointfor the treatment of PVS is a one-in-a-hundred dilution in pure waterof the vaccine, strongly shaken 100 times (potentised). This yields the1C potency. One part is then mixed with 99 parts of water and poten-tised 100 times to produce the 2C potency. If we repeatedly use thesame flask, the single-glass method, we refer to a Korsakov or K-

Page 9: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

Page 9 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

potency. If we use a separate flask for each dilution, the multiple-glass method, we refer to a centesimal Hahnemann potency, or CH-or C-potency. By carrying out this procedure 30 times we obtain the30C or 30K. To eradicate an illness completely it is often necessary toapply remedies of differing energy levels. The higher the potency thefiner the structure of the remedy. It has been shown experimentallythat particular potency levels lead to the best results so for years wehave sequentially used the 30C, the 200C, the 1M (1,000C) and the10M (10,000C). I personally always use K-potencies though it is equal-ly possible to achieve the same results with C-potencies. When one-in-ten rather than one-in-a-hundred dilutions are made we refer todecimal or X-potencies. X-potencies are also frequently used in theNetherlands.

A 30C could be defined as a purely energetic remedy that has beenserially diluted thirty times (100-30) and potentised 30 x 100 times(10030).

If a vaccine is the cause of an ailment, the same vaccine in a homoeo-pathic dilution (for example DKTP 30K) is the perfectly correspon-dent remedy (similimum) and can therefore be applied both as reme-dy and as diagnostic agent.

NB The author uses K-potencies, so you will find 30K, 200K, MK andXMK, corresponding with 30C, 200C, 1M and 10M.

GENERAL PRINCIPLE

How can it be claimed that homoeopathic dilutions of a vaccine cancure an ailment that has itself been caused by that same vaccine? Inreality the vaccine propagates the ailment and homoeopathy has ever

Page 10: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

Page 10 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

since its beginnings used agents which cause disease, after dilutionand potentiation, as remedies. Remedies such as tuberculinum (tuber-culosis), syphilinum (syphilis) and medorrhinum (gonorrhoea) weresuccessfully applied in the 19th century and today are still frequentlyused homoeopathic remedies.

Once a complaint has penetrated to the energetic level - we are con-sidering chronic ailments - it is possible to use the potentised cause ofthe complaint (the homoeopathic remedy) to cure the ailment. Suchailments are not only caused by vaccines but also by other medicines.The course of Peter's illness, case 2, page 25 is a clear example of this.

Naturally occurring diseases such as chicken-pox, influenza, glandu-lar fever and cytomegalovirus* etc. can equally cause chronic symp-toms long after the actual ailment has disappeared.

See case 3, Henri, page 25.

DIAGNOSIS

PVS is essentially diagnosed on the basis of carefully chosen ques-tions directed to the patient or his parents. The practitioner should al-ways consider seriously a diagnosis of post-vaccination syndromewhenever the complaints started at the time of, or in the period fol-lowing, vaccination and a treatment according to the method in thisbooklet should be implemented as a first line of approach. This is toobviate an endless and ill-fated stream of examinations and therapies.Where positive results are achieved the suspected diagnosis of PVS isconfirmed. Only as a second resort, if the patient does not benefit ful-ly from the treatment implemented, should a follow-up diagnosis bemade. The following case history illustrates how wearisome this

process can be.

case 4

Luuk was born in early November 1994 and received his first DKTP/HIB onthe 15th of February 1995. A few days later he first became ill; he had short-age of breath accompanied by noisy breathing. The GP prescribed Bricanyl*and Clamoxyl* but this appeared unsatisfactory and Luuk was given a sec-ond course of Clamoxyl. On the 11th of April his lungs were

finally completely clear and he was given the second DKTP/HIB. Two dayslater he contracted diarrhoea which lasted a week, for which the doctor pre-scribed Diarolyte*. On the 11th of May followed the third DKTP/HIB and onthe 16th of May Luuk was again short of breath and the doctor represcribedClamoxyl, this time together with Deptropine*. However, Luuk's conditiondid not improve and halfway through June he was given Atrovent* and Ery-throcine*. On the 23rd of June he was given Erythrocine again with Zaditen*and on July the 13th (four months after the beginning of his complaint) hevisited the paediatrician, who did not offer a diagnosis but suggested stop-ping the treatment. Luuk's condition improved gradually. On the 21st of No-vember the fourth DKTP/HIB was given. On the 26th of November his nosestarted running, he began to cough and he had trouble breathing. Luuk wasvisiting his grandparents in a different town at the time. The mother con-sulted the local GP on duty, who suggested PVS and referred Luuk to me.The following Monday I saw Luuk, who had breathing difficulties and washeavily congested. I prescribed a solution of DKTP/HIB 30K. Within 24hours the breathing problems were noticeably improved. For several days hecontinued to cough and expectorate and in the following week the phlegmwas completely cleared. To complete elimination of the disturbance by thevaccines he was given a further series of potentised vaccines from 30K to

Page 12: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

31/05/12 9:31 PMThe Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome - homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

Page 12 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

XMK on four consecutive days. Since then (a period of nine months) Luukhas no longer been ill.

Because of its high degree of reliability and efficacy, this method of-fers an excellent opportunity for establishing the cause of certain ill-nesses. One can trace step by step the vaccine, medicine or illness thathas caused the complaint. This scheme also allows us to find thecause of the often- discussed 'Jungle syndrome', a syndrome which hasclaimed so many young soldiers as victim and for which traditionalmedicine can offer neither an effective diagnostic procedure nor a sat-isfactory therapy. The case of Johan, a 19-year-old seaman, is a clearexample of such a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure. See case 5,page 26.

TREATMENT

Treatment is with potentised vaccine. Usually the best method forchronic PVS is to administer this remedy at four different potencieson four consecutive days; the first day 30C, the second day 200C, thethird day 1M and the fourth day 10M. In each case about 10 globules (6.72) are introduced directly into the mouth without any fluid to bedrunk. The granules dissolve completely within one minute. It is ad-visable not to eat or drink or brush the teeth for half an hour before orafter this administration to allow the medicament to act without inter-ference. If the symptoms are aggravated after one of the four poten-cies it is always necessary to wait until the reaction is over before con-tinuing treatment. In such cases the same potency is then repeated.This procedure is continued as long as necessary for the patient's re-action to cease, normally after one or two repeat doses. The series is

Page 13: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

31/05/12 9:31 PMThe Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome - homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

Page 13 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

then completed. It is also possible to treat a severe reaction with a so-lution of the 30C. For this, ten globules are dissolved in half a glass ofwater which is administered, a sip or teaspoonful at a time, for one ortwo days. The most common reaction is fever, which does not requirefurther treatment. If the child is vulnerable, as for example as a resultof serious vaccine-related complications or if oversensitivity is antici-pated, each potency can be administered weekly. Severe reactions cansimilarly be treated by weekly repeats of the same potency until noreaction is clearly discernible. If the disorder has not completelycleared up after three weeks, the whole series can be repeated. One tothree series is usually sufficient.

In acute cases the treatment is largely similar, differing only in thatthe preference in acute cases is given to aqueous solutions of a 30C or200C as described above. This solution is administered at the rate of asip or a teaspoonful an hour for a number of days; three doses areusually sufficient. See case 6, Ragma, page 26.

Even where the post-vaccination syndrome is of several years' stand-ing it can still be treated successfully, as is shown by case 7 (page 27),where the patient had suffered for eleven years, and case 8 (page 28)with a prehistory of 17 years. In both cases the complaints were effec-tively fully cured.

PREVENTION

Homoeopaths used to recommend, and sometimes still do, Thuja 30Cbefore vaccination. Personally, I have had unfortunate experienceswith this and have never been able to confirm its efficacy. Paediatri-cian Yvonne Pernet has recommended Thuja 30C to the parents of allthe children she has vaccinated for several years. When she stepped

Page 14: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

31/05/12 9:31 PMThe Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome - homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

Page 14 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

the children she has vaccinated for several years. When she steppedover to the preventive use of potentised vaccines the difference in theresults was indisputable. There were patently fewer side-effects tovaccination with this novel method. In fact, the energetic level becomessafeguarded so it can no longer be disturbed by the vaccine. It is as ifthe organism is warned of the approaching 'artificial' illnesses andcan therefore better maintain its balance. It must be remembered thatchronic complaints can only occur because the deeper levels of ourenergy have been disturbed.

The procedure is as follows: two days before vaccination, give thepotentised vaccine (e.g. DKTP) at 200C, about 10 small granules(globules), and repeat after vaccination, on the same day. The gran-ules are of lactose and are absorbed quickly in the mouth. If there is tobe no further vaccination for the time being, it is a good idea to ad-minister the potentised vaccine a month later in increasing potenciesof 30C, 200C, 1M and 10M on four consecutive days in order to cor-rect any possible disturbance to the deeper energy levels. If, as cannever be completely excluded, complications still occur despite thesepreventive measures, it is recommended that a solution in water ofthe 200C be given for three days at the acute stage and to repeat thewhole series several weeks later. See case 9, Lisette, page 15.

INJURY TO THE GENERAL DEFENCE MECHANISM

Whereas the body's specific defences against certain diseases can beincreased by means of vaccination, which is obviously the effect in-tended, practice shows that the defences as a whole can also be signif-icantly broken down.

We see a group of children previously in good health suddenly devel-op all manner of infections after vaccination, or children in whom ex-

Page 15: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

31/05/12 9:31 PMThe Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome - homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

Page 15 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

op all manner of infections after vaccination, or children in whom ex-isting complaints worsen. The case of Ragma's pneumonia alreadydiscussed (case 6, page 26) is an example of this. Weakened naturaldefences often manifest themselves in chronic colds, ear infectionsand bronchial infections (sore throats, bronchitis, pneumonia). Gener-ally speaking the family doctor and, at a later stage, the paediatricianwill prescribe antibiotics. In such cases the weakened defences are al-ready discernible: antibiotics suddenly appear to be less effective andseveral courses need to be given consecutively. Even then infectionsoften linger for weeks or even months. Moreover, the general defencemechanisms can deteriorate further after this repeated treatment. Thisweakening of the defences can possibly be ascribed to a shift from adefensive system at the cellular level (aided by white blood corpus-cules) to an essentially humoral defence (brought about by antibod-ies). Vaccination strengthens humoral defence and weakens cellulardefence. If this happens while children are but a few months old andtheir cellular defences are still being built up, a serious loss of naturaldefences with consequent sensitivity to infection can be the result.

Johan E. Sprietsma2 is of the opinion that the body's immune system,by shifting from a cellular to a more humoral defence mechanism, be-comes a lot less effective and diseases consequently take on a chroniccharacter.

The WHO (Geneva, April 1977), too, has confirmed an enormous in-crease in the incidence of infectious diseases. This is explained as a re-sult of the self-sufficiency of rich countries and the deplorable condi-tions in poor countries. But are the conditions in poor countries anymore deplorable now than they always have been? Malaria and tu-berculosis are becoming increasingly difficult to combat and are re-turning to many parts of the world. Also plague, yellow fever, diph-theria and cholera are on the increase. The WHO considers this to be

Page 16: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

Page 16 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

theria and cholera are on the increase. The WHO considers this to bea consequence of mankind's penetration into previously uninhabitedareas and of urban overpopulation. The collapse of the former Soviet-bloc countries and the enormous increase in air traffic (more than 50million people annually) are also given as causes. However, livingconditions in many countries have not seriously changed for severaldecades, and the improved conditions in rich countries cannot beseen to have led to reduced sensitivity to infection; on the contrary,infectious disease is on the increase in these areas. The WHO can alsoexplain this: ageing, migration and tourism, industrial food production.This last cause must certainly not be underestimated. It has graduallybeen established that we in the opulent west are becoming under-nourished owing to the structure of our whole food-production chainof cultivation, reaping, preservation, production and preparation. Thebelief that a varied diet ensures adequate nutrition has long beenquestioned and has now been overthrown by the results of scientificresearch. But the WHO disregards the fact that the populations of richand poor countries alike display poor defences and have therefore be-come increasingly susceptible. A person with good defences needscarcely worry about infectious diseases. Traditional medicine attrib-utes the incidence of infection to external contamination, whereas inreality the individual's general defences play the leading part. Theonly cause that really affects the whole world population is the multi-plicity of vaccines that are administered to the new-born, often withina few days of birth. I have for many years been able to substantiatethat it is precisely these vaccines that cause the drop-off in resistanceto all sorts of infectious disease. I have observed this both in theNetherlands and in Nepal, where I worked for several months as ho-moeopathic doctor. In the poor countries especially, where generaldefences are low owing to malnutrition and inadequate living condi-tions, mass vaccination programs have led to a fundamental increase

in human health hazards and it follows that all sorts of infectious dis-eases, both old and new, can spread very easily. For example, newlyborn Nepalese are given a BCG injection, and so infected with tuber-culosis, before they are a day old, while as long ago as 1979 the WHOitself published the results of a very extensive parallel research projectinto the effectiveness of the BCG vaccination in Southern India, inwhich 260,000 people were involved and which had a seven-and-a-half-year follow-up12. Two tribes participated and the results demon-strated that the BCG-vaccination was entirely without protective val-ue. 'The distribution of new cases of bacillary tuberculosis among those notinfected at intake did not show any evidence of a protective effect of the BCGvaccines.') A year later, in an article Does BCG vaccination protect thenewborn and young infants?, H.G. ten Dam and K.L. Hitze assert thatthere is little direct evidence of the efficacity of BCG vaccination againstinfant tuberculosis13. It is incomprehensible that in Nepal, and also inmany other countries, children are given a BCG-vaccination at birth:it is certainly not in the child's interest to be infected with tuberculosisat such a tender age, which serves to injure his general defence mech-anism. If exposure to a genuine tuberculosis infection does not pro-vide resistance against later tuberculosis infections, how can a weak-ened form be expected to?

It is high time for serious consideration to be given to the effects ofvaccination on immunity by those whose interest in, or dependenceon, vaccination is not financial. Hans Rümke, for example, paediatri-cian at the RIVM*, Bilthoven, the Netherlands, who is responsible forthe quality and production of vaccines in the Netherlands - and isalso a member of the side-effects committee! - speaks of the presentpublication about the post-vaccination syndrome as 'dangerous rub-bish' because 'he is seriously concerned about what could happen if

the post-vaccination syndrome were to receive wider recognition'7Here, too, we see this confusion of interests. The time is ripe for an in-dependent side-effects committee which is in no way involved withvaccination policy as such. At present the side-effects of vaccinationare seen as a threat to a specific vaccination policy and a criticalapproach, even one based entirely on practical experience, is laughedout of court as 'dangerous rubbish' without any attempt on the part ofthose responsible at serious research.

One researcher, Viera Schneibner, who has conducted a colossalamount of research into the consequences of vaccination based exclu-sively on orthodox medical research material, makes her conclusionimmediately clear in the title of her book: Vaccination, 100 years of or-thodox research shows that vaccines represent a medical assault on theimmune system.11 I have arrived at the same conclusion in my ownpractice entirely independently of her investigations.

The following example demonstrates how a small child's resistancecan be almost imperceptibly weakened as well as the high level ofcompetence necessary to recognize and treat this process as post-vac-cination syndrome.

case 26

1. Sabina was nearly two when I saw her halfway through March1997. Her disorder began in November '96 when she started attendingday-nursery. She was subject to nasal catarrh, coughing fits, vomitingand diarrhoea. She had been given three courses of antibiotics (No-vember, December, January). She contracted chicken-pox at the endof November. Before this her life had been unproblematical. Thepregnancy ran its course without much trouble and she was born by

Page 19 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

pregnancy ran its course without much trouble and she was born by

Caesarean section. She was breast-fed for seven months. She receivedher vaccinations at the normal time. Following the first DKTP/HIBshe had her first cold and her last vaccination (MMR), to which sheshowed no noticeable reaction, was in July '96. The problems did notstart until three months later, when she was attending day-nurserythree times a week. Her mother described her as 'a real nuisance', apusher, who quickly got cross when things went wrong and thenstarted throwing things. She was eager to learn, happy, boisterous,she had trouble eating and sleeping. She was a chatterbox, reacted vi-olently to pain and could not leave things alone. She loved being cud-dled and liked sucking her dummy. She was pale, ate hot meals withdifficulty but would eat bread without trouble. She drank a lot, andstill more when she was not well. She needed to eat a lot betweenmeals. There is a history of cancer in the family (PM / MPM / MMM)and diabetes mellitus (MP). The father's side tends to obesity. Ex-pressed in homoeopathic terms, this child clearly displayed a Saccha-rum-pattern and I therefore prescribed Saccharum officinale 200K,once every two weeks.

This child's defences had clearly been undermined. She is an onlychild and had had little contact with other children. That is why thetrouble revealed itself at the day-nursery. Ten days after the treat-ment had been started the mother rang because the ailments hadworsened and Sabina was running a temperature of 40C. I prescribedSaccharum officinale 30K in water, a sip an hour, but the next day shewas worse and the mother was in a panic. We made an appointmentfor Sabina to see me and it appeared that she had an infection in bothears. Her lungs were clear. I concluded that another layer was block-ing the efficacy of the constitutional remedy (Saccharum officinale), alayer that was screening her Saccharum layer. The Saccharum wasnot able to improve her defences and their weakened state must have

not able to improve her defences and their weakened state must havehad its origin in something other than a constitutional cause. Experi-ence has taught me that vaccines are the most common source of suchproblems, and there had been little else in her short life that could soclearly have weakened her defences. I therefore started immediatelyto combat the MMR administered three months before the illnessstarted. I prescribed a sip every hour of MMR 30K and the next daySabina was free of fever, had had a good night's sleep and was visiblyimproving. The neutralization of the MMR was continued with high-er potencies in the following weeks, after which the DKTP and HIBwere counteracted. This way Sabina was completely cured of her PVSand it was only then that her mother realized that Sabina had actuallybeen unsettled before attending nursery, but that had not come out inthe form of infections. Her enjoyment of life has greatly increased; sheis once again a delightful and contented child liked by everybody.

case 27

2. Sanne's case is also interesting. She is seriously handicapped and isespecially prone to epileptic attacks and pneumonia. I have beentreating her for seven years and in all that time she has not once beenhospitalized, though it was sometimes a near thing and a large shareof the credit for this must go to her parents, whose courage and com-petence have greatly influenced her well-being. I have only seen heroccasionally during recent years and a number of consultations bytelephone together with a good collaboration with the GP, who haskept an eye on the medical background, have been sufficient to con-trol the pneumonia and prevent aggravation of the epilepsy, usingOpium or Cuprum metallicum. And so she reached her ninth birth-day and at the instigation of her parents was given a DTP and anMMR, not on the same day, but still... At the end of February themother rang me because pneumonia was imminent so I prescribed for

Page 21: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

Page 21 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

mother rang me because pneumonia was imminent so I prescribed forSanne the usual Opium but this time it did not help and even with in-creased potencies there was no improvement to be seen. The new GPwanted to hospitalize her, but mother refused: she set up a drip-feedfor the child herself and at her wit's end we decided to give a courseof antibiotics even though this had never really helped her in the past.She showed some improvement but three days after the ten-daycourse she was in the same state again with obvious pneumonia. Weconferred with the previous GP. I then prescribed Cuprum metal-licum and Cuprum sulphuricum, without success. And so a furthercourse of antibiotics followed, again without success. Nothingseemed to help. Then I personally made a thorough examination ofSanne and discovered that she had had an MMR in October and aDTP half a year before that. I started immediately with a sip of MMR30K hourly, and the next day Sanne had a splendid Opium-patternback. She slept all day, could not be woken and rolled her eyes backup. Sanne was reacting and could therefore be treated. Then she recu-perated fully within one week, first thanks to Opium, followed byCuprum metallicum. The reactivity was restored once the DTP hadbeen further deactivated.

This shows clearly how a 'constitutional' remedy that for seven yearshad given outstanding results can fail when the patient has been inoc-ulated, and how antibiotics then also fail to help. It is necessary to re-store the immune system by counteracting the PVS, so that both ho-moeopathic remedies and possibly antibiotics can function effective-ly. The following cases are also clear examples of such diminishedgeneral defences: case 10, Patrick, page 28, case 11, Hanneke, page 29and case 12, Ellen, page 29.

MISCONDUCT, CHANGES IN MOOD

It is to be expected that a child with a cold, some irritation or whosehearing has become impaired will be abnormally peevish, difficult ortearful. We still see a number of children who display behaviouraldisorders after vaccination, which cannot be characterized as restless-ness or 'the fidgets'. Up to the present, nobody has paid any seriousattention to disturbances of this kind and nobody, apart from a hand-ful of 'initiates' suspects that vaccination can completely interferewith the character of children, let alone of adults. Parents regularlysay to me after vaccines have been neutralized: "It is unbelievable, butmy son/daughter is just as he/she used to be, he/she now enjoys lifeas much as before the inoculations. My child has stopped complain-ing and it is now a pleasure to spend time with him/her where it hadbecome more like a heavy chore." It is significant that in most casesthe parents had not complained particularly about the child's behav-iour; they had come because of a physical complaint. People do notgenerally complain to the doctor about their children's behaviour; inthose serious cases where they do the cause of the problem had neverbeen associated with vaccination. I am convinced that the two mostimportant causes of disturbed patterns of behaviour in children are,first, disorders in carbohydrate (sugar) metabolism and, secondly,vaccinations. (I am currently involved in research into the first sub-ject, results of which will in time be published.)

case 1

Jurgen provides a good example of this. He was exactly one year old when hismother first appeared at my practice. When he was three weeks old he con-tracted a cold that had still not disappeared. Up to six months he was lovableand quiet, but this suddenly changed: he became restless and noisy and oftenhad one-day fevers, ten times in that year. It was as if he was a differentchild, said his mother. Nothing pleased him any more, he refused to sit on

child, said his mother. Nothing pleased him any more, he refused to sit onmother's lap, even for a game or nursery-rhyme. He had his vaccinations ex-actly on time 'with absolutely no problems' according to the mother, exceptthat after the fourth DKTP/HIB a month ago he had a one-day fever. He hasalso had abnormal trouble with teething, with a raised temperature and diar-rhoea. His colds were characterized by a watery running nose, expectorationand noisy breathing: 'you can always hear something,' his mother said.From six months he was given vegetables and fruit juice as well as the bottle.'What is the matter with him? He has suffered colds since he was three weeksold so he very probably has an innate tendency to infection and weak de-fences. But the enormous change in Jurgen's character at six months is themost noticeable part of this tale.' Theoretically this could be caused by thechange in diet, but it is most unlikely that this could cause the change incharacter. These changes can however easily be explained by a post-vaccina-tion syndrome. His total lack of reaction to the various vaccines is more like-ly to be a sign of his poor general defences than of the harmlessness of thevaccinations.

This means for Jurgen that we will in all probability have to reverse thechange in character by giving him a series of potentised DKTP/HIB. Hisweak defences (which are shown by his constant colds) will remain to betreated later, as this was present before the vaccination period. After theDKTP/HIB 30K, which he was given in the evening before going to bed, hecried at night incessantly for four hours, after which he was noticeably morecontent. He also had diarrhoea that day. The 30K was therefore repeated afew days later, after which the series was completed. After three weeks I sawJurgen again. Mother said that his behaviour had improved beyond measure.He was now much more content and remained on her lap, and expressed realpleasure (for example when his parents came home). He played more happily,and no longer ran from one thing to another. He had become calmer. Sincethe treatment he often had diarrhoea and he slept fitfully, waking at nightand wanting to play as if to make up for lost time. He yelled whenever his

and wanting to play as if to make up for lost time. He yelled whenever hismother went away. I prescribed a repeat series of potentised DKTP/HIB, towhich he reacted with three days of fever of up to 40C., a runny nose, cough-ing and inflamed eyes. This was followed by almost constant diarrhoea, rejec-tion of his food and continuing colds. Then came a period with bodily distur-bances from teething difficulties, expectoration and squeaky breathing. Itseemed as if he was bothered by something other than his vaccinations so Idecided on the basis of his symptoms to treat him with Cuprum metallicumafter which he finally recovered. He sleeps peacefully, no longer has diar-rhoea, the colds and inflammation of the eyes have disappeared and Jurgen isfully recovered.

case 9

Following the DTP-jab at four years, Lisette showed an enormous decline inher development despite the preventive measure of DTP 200K two days be-fore the vaccination and later on the same day: she started eating badlyagain, was very tired and reverted to baby behaviour: she talked gibberish,wanted to be fed and to revert to bottle-feeding. She became listless, spent alot of time lying on the ground and wanted to be cuddled a lot as well as de-veloping oversensitivity to pain. I gave her a complete series of DTP 30K,200K, MK and XMK over four days, after which the complaints completelydisappeared and her development continued normally.

case 25 (extra)

Lotte's mother rang me on the 20th of November, 1995 because her four-year-old daughter had started coughing on holiday. She was also weary andmiserable. The symptoms had not yet gone and her mother suggested thismight have to do with the unusually hot weather and because she had juststarted primary school. From answers to my questions I learned that Lottehad had a DTP-jab on the 26th of June, without having become unwell imme-

Page 25: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

had had a DTP-jab on the 26th of June, without having become unwell imme-diately. She started coughing about a week later. The most likely cause forher trouble is therefore not the hot weather or school, but the DTP-jab. Itreated her for four days with a series of DTP 30K - XMK. Ten days later(November the 30th) her mother rang me to say all the symptoms were gone.Lotte was no longer coughing and was the happy, active child she had alwaysbeen. She told me that after the third dose (DTP MK) Lotte had had a tem-perature (385C). She therefore waited a day, repeated the third dose (DTPMK) and when there was no reaction she gave her the last (DTP XMK) dosethe following day.

POSSIBILITY OF HEIGHTENED RISK IN SUCCEEDING GENER-ATIONS

When the parents themselves experienced problems after vaccination,which may often have passed unnoticed, there is an increased likeli-hood of their offspring suffering from PVS. The fact that several chil-dren in the same family have suffered illness in the vaccination peri-od can be a pointer to this.

case 13

Ralf's case is an example of this state of affairs. He was one-and-a-half andhad had eczema from the age of seven months. For a week following both theDKTP/HIB's and the MMR he awoke shrieking and screaming and did notwant to go to bed in the evening; he was in a state of panic and had to benursed to sleep. After the third DKTP/HIB he also started to vomit and hadfetid stools. His eczema seriously worsened after the MMR and he becameaggressive and tense and started throwing things. His mother spoke of abreakdown. Whereas he had been thoroughly content for the first half-year,he had now for six months been restless and prone to regular colds. From hisseventh month he drank a lot at night and, since the MMR, during the day.

seventh month he drank a lot at night and, since the MMR, during the day.Treatment with a series of MMR 30K, 200K, MK and XMK was started andthree weeks later he was given a series of DKTP/HIB 30K, 200K, MK andXMK. After the MMR series he became much happier and when theDKTP/HIB series was finished he was 'the little boy she once knew' as themother said. He became talkative again, happy and full of grit. However, hisnight-time thirst remained undiminished and he would not calm down untilallowed to drink. In addition he had a bad cold and watery, slimy faeces. Igave him a repeat series of MMR, following which for three days he woke upscreaming and was afraid to go to bed in the evening, just as after the MMRinoculation. Otherwise there was little to report. Two weeks later theDKTP/HIB series was repeated and he reacted to this similarly as to theMMR; this also lasted for a couple of days. Then his excessive thirst at nightdisappeared within a few weeks, he slept increasingly peacefully and for threemonths the eczema could be observed to decrease without additional treat-ment. All symptoms arising following the vaccinations have completely dis-appeared.

Not all children are disturbed this clearly as a result of vaccination,but here is one of the fortunate few who was able to profit from aplanned programme of recovery. Ralf is part of a family that has ahistory of adverse reactions to vaccination. His mother visited In-donesia on holiday in 1983 and was given two each of cholera, DPTand typhoid and one -globulin* injections. Since then she has sufferedfrom fatigue for 11 years long (case 7, page 27). Her father had previ-ously also been to Indonesia, on military service, and had the neces-sary injections. Ralf is thus the third generation displaying vaccina-tion problems.

IMPLIED OBSTACLES TO THE ACCEPTANCEOF THE POST-VACCINATION SYNDROME

Page 27: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

To accept that a connexion between vaccination and its consequencescan only be verified if the malady becomes apparent within threetimes 24 hours is to disavow the reality of the PVS. This period ofthree times 24 hours would only allow for the possibility of an acutePVS so the most pronounced and at the same time most importantmanifestation of the PVS, the chronic cases, would necessarily be ex-cluded from consideration. This acceptance shuts out what should inreality be the fundamental subject-matter of the study. The availablestatistics about the side-effects of vaccination then become completelymeaningless, especially when (as is the case in The Netherlands)those responsible for the implementation of the vaccination policy areincluded in the side-effects committee and disorders have to be ex-plained by word of mouth. A large part of the damage develops al-most unnoticed and can only be established at a later date when thesymptoms only appear weeks or even months after vaccination.

This situation is well exemplified in the case of Sabina, case 26 in theprevious chapter. The damage only became evident when, threemonths later, a demand was made on her immune system when shestarted at day-nursery. Only then did it emerge that her natural de-fences had been weakened by the MMR vaccination, which up to thenhad given no discernible problems. But it is typically instances of thissort that are seized by opponents to the recognition of the PVS to sug-gest that the culprit is the contact with other children rather than thevaccine. No consideration is given to the fact that good defences wereoriginally present or that a child needs to be able to rely on these de-fences in order not to become ill as a matter of course at each infec-tious contact once he starts attending a crèche, day-nursery, school orsome other social meeting-place where bacteria and other germs canbe passed on. Administration of potentised vaccines has shown that

Page 28: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

31/05/12 9:31 PMThe Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome - homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

Page 28 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

in the majority of cases such weakened defences can be restored sosuch social contacts are merely the provocation, not the cause, of themalady. It is now easy to explain the world-wide incidence of all sortsof infectious diseases. We must ask ourselves - and accurate indepen-dent research is needed to answer the question satisfactorily - if weare not actively destroying an indispensable mechanism that is of vi-tal importance to our survival in a world where germs are part andparcel of the environment. For a long time we have effectivelyattempted to counteract atrophied general defences by antibiotics, butit seems that a satisfactory natural immune system is becoming in-creasingly important. However good medical remedies may seem atfirst, they always exhibit inadequacies.

It is therefore essential to see what happens not in the first three daysfollowing vaccination, but what happens after that. The use of poten-tised vaccines can play an essential part here. This method providesexcellent opportunities for confirming or rejecting a diagnosis. This isinvaluable and can help achieve a clear insight into the real extent ofthe problem.

The following case demonstrates how lightly and irresponsibly acutecases can at present be regarded.

case 28

Anita received her third combined DKTP/HIB vaccination at fivemonths. The same evening her temperature had risen to 40C, shecried incessantly and appeared to have stomach cramps. Her motherwas concerned and consulted the doctor next day, who examined thechild and advised waiting to see what happened. He did not actuallyexclude the possibility of an acute post-vaccination syndrome but wasnot able to treat this. Anita did not improve and a second visit to the

Page 29: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

31/05/12 9:31 PMThe Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome - homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

Page 29 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

not able to treat this. Anita did not improve and a second visit to the

doctor produced neither new opinions nor treatment. When themother on the third day approached the clinic where her daughterhad been inoculated for advice about these post-vaccination disor-ders, a nurse told her that the vaccinations could not be the cause asany effects would be worn out within 24 hours. Then the mother rangme, whereupon I immediately prescribed a solution of DKTP/HIB30K, after which Anita fully recovered within 12 hours. When I latercontacted the doctor responsible at the health-care centre to complainabout the advice given, I was treated to a meaningless albeit diplo-matic answer that is nothing but a direct disavowal of the post-vacci-nation syndrome: Most complications do not last longer than 24 hours.But Anita could quite easily have contracted an infection that had nothing todo with the vaccines given and which spontaneously cleared up just at thetime I prescribed the DKTP/HIB 30K. And once again reality is deniedand attributed to coincidence...

RESEARCH

The next step in relation to the above should be to initiate a thoroughlarge-scale parallel research project in which one group of children isgiven a preventive 200C dose of vaccine two days before vaccination,as described above, and another group a placebo*. Immediately fol-lowing vaccination the same procedure (200C or placebo) would berepeated. A carefully tabulated record of the child's state of health be-fore the commencement of vaccination and its reaction to the inocula-tion should be kept: fever, crying, sleeplessness, convulsions, menin-gitis, epilepsy, growth-pattern disturbances, behavioural distur-bances, infections such as inflamed ears, bronchitis, bronchial asthma,eczema, along with motor development and mental development.The project should cover the age-group from three months to 18

Page 30: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

31/05/12 9:31 PMThe Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome - homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

Page 30 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

The project should cover the age-group from three months to 18

months. This way the differences in reaction between children treatedand those not treated with a homoeopathic dilution of the vaccine canbe charted. This work would gain an extra dimension as a similarcomparison between vaccinated and unvaccinated children has neverbeen made anywhere in the world despite the massive scale on whichvaccination is carried out. No other medication would be allowed onthe market under these conditions.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Besides the preventive measures using potentised vaccine in the 200Cdilution as described above, other means of prevention can lessen therisks from vaccination. In the first place this means being alert to sig-nals from the child following vaccination. All too frequently it is as-sumed that all will be well and a following vaccine is administeredunadvisedly.

case 14

In the Tijdschrift voor Jeugdgezondheidszorg4 for 1994 is an interestingillustration. "The commission considered the case of a girl who is now twoyears old whose mental and physical development was very seriously retard-ed. She had undergone a normal development since her full-term* birth atnormal weight. She became seriously ill following the second DKTP, with atemperature of 41C. and symptoms that clearly suggested whooping cough:six weeks later it was obvious that her mental development was retarded.Following the first DKTP she had also been ill with a temperature of 40C.,coughing bouts with tightness in the chest and vomiting, but less seriouslythan after the second inoculation.

"The committee recognizes that whereas a causal* connexion with both inoc-

Page 31: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

31/05/12 9:31 PMThe Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome - homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

Page 31 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

"The committee recognizes that whereas a causal* connexion with both inoc-

ulations cannot be ruled out, this must be considered unlikely owing to theparticularity of the course of the illness and against the background of thecorpus of scientific literature relating to such a connexion."

The commission's opinion is in fact not very interesting here, al-though it does underline how such problems are generally tackled.What is much more relevant is the question as to the grounds onwhich it was considered that the responsible person or organizationshould go ahead with the second DKTP. At the very least it shouldhave been decided to leave out the whooping-cough vaccination be-cause of the coughing and oppression and 40C. temperature follow-ing the first DKTP. For another example, see case 11, Hanneke, page29.

It would be unjust to conclude from the above that the various orga-nizations responsible do not seriously consider reports of ailments.The problem is double-edged. First, most cases of PVS do not reachthe commission because doctors and paediatricians are not trained torecognize a post-vaccination syndrome, so the parents are told thatthe vaccination has nothing to do with the ailment. Secondly, thecommission does not possess the means of establishing a definite rela-tionship to the vaccine when a post-vaccination syndrome is report-ed, which leads to parents being fobbed off with unsatisfactory con-clusions characterized by such phrases as "It is unlikely that..." It isafter all only possible from a scientific viewpoint to confirm some-thing on the basis of a definitely established relationship, which up tothe present has not been possible. However, the method described inthis booklet provides an excellent possibility for doing that, which canmean the end of the annoying uncertainty while at the same time of-fering some prospect of recovery for the patient.

Dr. Jean Elminger declares in his book La médecine retrouvée3 that:

1. vaccination is carried out too early;

2. too many vaccines are administered together;

3. vaccination is carried out too frequently; and

4. vaccines cultivated on animal proteins are used, which also con-tain chemical additives that can excite allergies.

It is clear that some sort of preventive action can be undertakenagainst these situations.

ad 1

Vaccination is carried out too early in the sense that the new-bornbaby is building up his own cellular (general) defence and will payfor a shift towards humoral defence with a weakening of its immunesystem as a whole. It is interesting to note in this context that cotdeaths have practically been eradicated1 in Japan, where the whoop-ing-cough vaccine is not given before two years of age.

case 15

A good example of too many vaccines being administered together isprovided by Marieke. Her fourth DKTP and HIB were postponed and at 15months she had to receive another DKTP, HIB and MMR. She was giventhem at the same time, a total of eight vaccines. Her mother's anxious ques-tion whether that was all right was answered in the affirmative: the child

was quite strong enough. Nevertheless she reacted to the first three DKTP'sand HIB's with a temperature above 39C. and by shrieking inconsolably (es-pecially the first time). The ninth day after this massive inoculation she had aseizure with rattling respiration accompanied by slimy expectoration and herright side became completely rigid. Her temperature rose to 412C. She wasadmitted to hospital where she was given a lumbar puncture and furtherblood tests, but no infection was diagnosed. After two days she appearedcompletely recovered but at eight o'clock on the third morning she had a seri-ous epileptic attack which lasted until towards evening. Marieke was nolonger Marieke. Her speech was reduced to hmm, hmm... She constantlyrocked backwards and forwards and up and down. There was no longer anyeye contact; it was 'as if she's looking straight through you'. All warmth, joyand feeling of happiness and sorrow had disappeared. She had become an in-valid baby that needed help feeding, could not crawl, walk or talk. Hergrowth practically ceased.

Marieke appeared to have lost her sense of balance; she waved her arms whenwalking and by now had had two months of physiotherapy and speech thera-py. She only said 'mummy' and 'daddy'. But there was no repeat of theepileptic attacks and the medication was reduced after three months.

Now two-and-a-half, her condition had never been diagnosed as a post-vacci-nation syndrome. Her paediatrician repeatedly enquired if her mother stillbelieved it came from the vaccinations, and the mother replied that she was99% certain it did. Actual proof of a causal connexion would also in this casehave to come from the potentised vaccine, however. We started the treatmentcarefully with just a MMR in homoeopathic dilution with a week betweeneach administration. It was not certain that Marieke would still be able torecover fully. This misery could probably have been avoided if such vaccine-cocktails had been a thing of the past.

Treatment was started on April 22nd and I saw her again on the 14th of Au-

Page 34 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

Treatment was started on April 22nd and I saw her again on the 14th of Au-gust, nearly four months later. She had been given each potency of the MMRtwice because her condition worsened each time. The last dose (XMK) wasgiven three weeks previously.

Marieke had changed enormously. She immediately got a runny nose andwent through a highly emotional period during which she cried about literal-ly everything and held on to her mother, just like when she was in hospital.But by now she feels safe again with father and mother and she can safely beleft with people she knows. Her mother calls her describes her as radiant; sheis freer, approaches people, is decided in what she wants. Her coordinationhas improved beyond measure. Her bearing is no longer that of a baby, hermuscular control and balance have improved by leaps and bounds. She canwalk normally again without waving her arms. Her pupils are no longer di-lated and function normally and her oversensitivity to light is much reduced.Her digestion has improved; there is no undigested food in her faeces, whichsmell more normal. Her speech has improved; she uses some new words butin this is still backward for her age. Generally speaking she is about half ayear behind her actual age, which means she has caught up about one-and-a-half years in four months. A consultation with the welfare-centre doctor whogave her all the vaccines together has not proved very satisfactory. She main-tains that she acted correctly and says that she would do the same in similarcases in the future.

I decide to eliminate the disturbances from the other vaccines (DKTP andHIB) after one treatment as Marieke is far healthier. If necessary the wholeprocedure can be repeated. It looks as if Marieke, too, can recover completelyfrom her post-vaccination syndrome. This treatment has at the same time de-finitively shown the cause of the bodily and mental retardation to be post-vaccination syndrome.

Economic considerations have dictated for several years now that an

Page 35 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

Economic considerations have dictated for several years now that an

increasing number of vaccinations be given at the same time, e.g.MMR-D(K)TP or DKTP-HIB. Six or seven different vaccines at onetime brings added risks; after all, one would not naturally contract sixor seven diseases at the same time.

The original notion was to give the HIB separately from the DKTP asa combination of the two would overburden the child. In practice thiscreated organizational difficulties so it was decided to give DKTP andHIB together. Three-month-old babies are therefore given 15 vaccina-tions in two months. The child's defence mechanism at this age is un-developed and vulnerable. The defences passed from mother to childare slowly breaking down and the child has to develop its own de-fences. It is therefore not surprising that the child experiences difficul-ty in coping with the heavy stimulation of its specific defensive mech-anism caused by the combined disease germs, foreign proteins, chem-ical pollutants and additives all being pumped into its body within ashort period. Consequently all sorts of chronic complaints stemmingfrom weakened general defences occur at this time. This way thechild is forced to concentrate on the specific defence against the ad-ministered diseases and is not given the chance to develop its ownmore general defence mechanism. The general defences can even beseriously broken down, as is shown by the cases described.

The necessity for vaccinating so young and so frequently in a periodof vulnerability has never been demonstrated. Generally speaking,two D(K)TP vaccinations and one booster six months later should besufficient for the first four years of life.

case 16

Owing to an unnecessary repeat of the whooping-cough vaccine Saskiahas adverse reactions after each vaccination. At three months she was givenher first DKTP/HIB and fourteen days later she contracted whooping coughfrom an infected child. The paediatrician diagnosed whooping cough, whichlasted nearly five months. But even after that she was constantly unwell:colds, 'flu, diarrhoea and any other illness she came into contact with. Nev-ertheless, at eight months she was given a DKTP/HIB despite the parents'direct query about the necessity of K (i.e. whooping cough). She developed ahigh temperature and was very ill for two days. A month later the thirdDKTP followed, after which she was ill for a week with a high temperature.Only then was it decided to drop the superfluous whooping-cough vaccine atthe next inoculation. She hardly showed any reaction to the DTP/HIB vacci-nation, but her further development had clearly been disturbed. At nearlytwo, Saskia still did not talk and would only take minced food. Her back andneck were strained and she crawled with her body to one side. She hardlywalked and constantly supported herself on whatever was to hand. Now,three months after starting on the recovery programme with DKTP/HIB30K, 200K, MK and XMK and with Pertussin (whooping cough) 30K,200K, MK (she did not have the XMK), Saskia is a different child. The im-provement started slowly, but it became increasingly obvious that she wasrecovering. The results can now be called spectacular. She has completelymade up lost time. She can now walk normally and even run, jog, climbstairs and walk backwards. She crawls symmetrically. Her speech is satisfac-tory and her articulation has much improved. She is energetic, less depen-dent on her mother and no longer panics if she cannot see her. She needs lesssleep and no longer takes medication. A cold with green phlegm cleared upfor the first time without going on to her lungs and without any wheezing.She is content and is a joy every day, reports the mother. Saskia is practicallycured of the detrimental effects of the DKTP/HIB and the whooping cough.

The preparation of safer vaccines without animal proteins or chemi-cal additives is no easy matter. One possibility would be the fullysynthetic preparation of vaccines. The first fully synthetic vaccine(against malaria), originating in Bolivia, is already being used on asmall scale.

Summing up I should like to make the following recommendationsconcerning vaccination policy.

1. To implement vaccination later. Hold back vaccination until thechild has built up its cellular defences (general defences) sufficiently.

There are enough variations worldwide in the age at which childrenreceive their first vaccination for a preliminary balance-sheet of theadvantages and disadvantages to be made up. A useful example isthe whooping-cough vaccination in Japan, which is not given beforetwo years1. A comparative study could be made by for example notvaccinating children from a particular region before ten months andfollowing their progress compared with a control group of childrenvaccinated from their third month.

2. To administer vaccines separately where possible. In the firstplace the HIB can be given by itself again, as in the USA. Moreoverthe DKTP or DTP should never be combined with the MMR, as nowhappens with nine-year-olds. Vulnerable children who displayedstrong reactions to an earlier vaccination should as a matter of coursebe given a DTP instead of a DKTP. Research6 shows that DKTP givesmore cause for complaint than DTP.

3. Increase the intervals between vaccines: two months instead of

Page 38: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

3. Increase the intervals between vaccines: two months instead of

one month. This is less troublesome to the child and is more effica-cious.

4. Reducing the total number of vaccinations to three from four forthe D(K)TP and HIB, the first two with an interval of two months andthe third after six months, as is already the case for children of foreignorigin.

5. Keeping a careful record of the child's reactions to the previousvaccine before further vaccinating the child. A more stringent andcautious policy than the present one towards complications needs im-plementing.

6. No further vaccinations before complete recovery from post-vacci-nation symptoms. Children with a suspected post-vaccination syn-drome require treatment and cure with the potentised vaccine. Fol-lowing this, full or partial vaccination should be abandoned and pre-ventive measures with the vaccine at 200K need to be taken.

7. Systematic protection with potentised vaccine at every vaccina-tion if the comparative study (see page 18) yields positive results.

8. Specific instruction concerning PVS to doctors, nurses and parents.

CONCLUSIONS

Armed with potentised vaccines we have an efficient weapon in thefight against post-vaccination syndromes. It is a proviso that doctorsrecognize these conditions for what they are. This booklet has beenproduced to open the way to this recognition. We are confronted byan ailment that has almost never been diagnosed up to the present.

an ailment that has almost never been diagnosed up to the present.Nevertheless, a correct diagnosis can lead to a simple treatment. Forthis reason it is important for the parents to be able to report to thedoctor or at the welfare centre on the reactions of their child. Theirdiligence can mean the finding of an effective treatment.

The treatment of PVS with potentised vaccine confirms or disprovesthe diagnosis. If a doctor believes he has a case of PVS, he can checkhis diagnosis with the potentised vaccine. If his diagnosis is correct thecomplaint will disappear or improve with this therapy. Where no improve-ment is observed it will be necessary to check that there is no more re-cent cause for the complaint or its aggravation. The most recent dis-turbance must always be treated first. If, for instance, the complaintstarted after the fourth DKTP but the child has had MMR in themeantime, it can be advisable, even necessary, to eliminate the MMRdisturbance before the DKTP. If this does not effect a cure, a differentdiagnosis must be sought.

GENERAL PRINCIPLE

case 2

Peter, 10 months old, was suffering from colic and stone-hard stools andcould scream dreadfully for hours on end following his first DKTP. Mother,who is a 'DES-daughter'*, has Crohn's disease* and took Salazopyrine* dur-ing and after pregnancy so could not breast-feed her child. Peter has hadhard stools from his sixth week and always needed two days to expel his fae-ces. He turned red, perspired over his whole body, got cross, shrieked andkicked. After his first DKTP/HIB he had fever for a day and his whole thighbecame swollen 'like a sausage'. He screamed incessantly for nearly five

became swollen 'like a sausage'. He screamed incessantly for nearly five

hours. After the second DKTP/HIB he again developed a fever with aswollen, red leg. Growth disorders were also observed. The third vaccine wasinjected into his arm, after which he again developed a fever, with a swollenarm.

The following potentised vaccines were administered: DKTP/HIB 30K,200K, MK and XMK on four consecutive days; after the MK Peter cried allday and then started to recover. After two weeks he fell back into his old pat-tern of ailments. The DKTP/HIB 30K and 200K were then repeated andagain he recovered. Mother speaks of a miracle; Peter is happier and nolonger screams. The drop in his weight curve started to rectify itself. He stillsuffered from hard stools, which was to be expected as this was the case be-fore vaccination.

Two possibilities can be considered: he either has a predisposition to intesti-nal problems or these manifested themselves before birth as a result of hismother's use of Salazopyrine during pregnancy. If the latter is the case theproblem could relatively easily be solved. My initial tentative diagnosis waschronic constipation caused by the mother's use of Salazopyrine duringpregnancy. If this diagnosis is correct the ailment should be cured and even-tually entirely disappear after treatment with potentised Salazopyrine. I pre-scribed Salazopyrine 30K once a week. After two months the constipationwas fully cured.

case 3

Henri is a small boy who for six months had been peevish. At first his motherdid not associate this with the chicken-pox he had had, which passed off with-out further complications. After careful questioning it appeared that every-thing had started at the time of this children's complaint. I therefore gavehim Varicellinum 200K (chicken-pox). A large eruptive spot appeared on his

him Varicellinum 200K (chicken-pox). A large eruptive spot appeared on his

chest, after which he was fully cured.

THE 'JUNGLE SYNDROME'

case 5

Johan reported for duty with the marines in August 1993 and was given aMantoux* injection on the 13th of August, on the 20th of August a DTP-and typhoid jab and on the 16th of September a booster typhoid vaccination.He gradually deteriorated, as he says himself. He was overtired, had seriousdifficulty concentrating, became very forgetful and had a strained left knee.At night particularly he had belly-ache, a burning feeling in his stomach andpalpitations. After three months he was discharged from service. He wentback to his former employer, but could hardly work. For a year-and-a-half hewas very poorly, then he ended up in the summer of '95 on social security. Arheumatologist declared him 'in perfect health'. After that he sought help inthe alternative medicine circuit and ended up visiting me. He told me that hefelt fluey all day, perspired heavily, had to drink a lot and urinate very fre-quently. At night he was thoroughly exhausted. He felt too weak to ride hismotor-bike. He got stomach cramps and felt ill from two glasses of beer. Hisproblems were almost certainly due to one of the vaccinations. Any other ex-planation seems simply untenable. Treatment with Typhus 30K up to XMKon four consecutive days was started without any success. Three weeks laterthe DTP series 30K to XMK was given, again without any improvementbeing recorded. As suspicion still fell heavily on one of the vaccinations Irepeated both series, again without result. What was left is the Mantoux. Im-mediately following the potentised Mantoux series he felt better and wasagain able to work whole days. Although he felt a lot better he was still along way from being what he was. The Mantoux series was therefore repeat-ed several times, each time after an interval of three weeks. He now antici-

ed several times, each time after an interval of three weeks. He now antici-pates a full recovery from this.And what must we think about all the children worldwide who aregiven a BCG*, which is many times stronger than Mantoux, in thefirst few days of their life! In the Netherlands BCG is never given tochildren, however. Nevertheless, the incidence of tuberculosis in theNetherlands is the lowest in the world.

It must be clear from this that this method offers good prospects forrecovery to all those troops who have been felled by jungle syn-drome. But it would not be realistic to conclude from the above casethat the Mantoux-jab is solely responsible for the jungle syndrome. Inevery case the patient will have to be examined individually for thevaccine or medicine responsible for the complaints (Lariam* can alsopossibly cause these symptoms).

THE ACUTE POST-VACCINATION SYNDROME

case 6

Ragma was a one-year-old girl. In the early morning on the 4th of May, 1992a worried father rang me because his daughter was quite seriously ill. Both ofRagma's parents were homoeopathic family doctors and knew the dangers ofvaccination. They had chosen to have their daughter only partially inoculat-ed at a later date to avoid vaccination risks as far as possible. As they bothenjoyed long-distance travel they decided to give Ragma a DTP at 13months. Up to then she had been a healthy child. She had occasionally hadcoughing fits but these had spontaneously disappeared. The day followingthe vaccination Ragma became very listless. After a week she began coughingand vomiting with a temperature of 38-39C. She did not want any food ordrink beyond her single daily breast feed. She woke frequently and onlybegan to sleep properly at about 5 o'clock in the morning. She was prone tofrequent crying fits, especially at night. Her parents gave her Thuja C1000

frequent crying fits, especially at night. Her parents gave her Thuja C1000

after she had been coughing and had had a fever for four days. She did notreact to this. Her condition worsened and five days after the beginning of herillness she clearly had an infiltration* in the lower lobe of her left lung. Hertemperature was 395C., she would neither eat nor drink and vomited as a re-sult of her coughing fits. Her parents were worried about dehydration andfeared hospitalization. The family doctor involved pressed for an immediatecourse of antibiotics. When the father rang me on that May morning I ad-vised him to start immediately with the administration once an hour of a tea-spoonful of a solution of DTP 200K. I arranged to see Ragma at the end ofthe afternoon. Her condition was then essentially unchanged. Crepitations*were clearly audible in the lower left lung; there was (as yet) no sign of dehy-dration but we clearly had a seriously ill child. We agreed to continue withthe treatment and to postpone further decisions until the next morning. Thenext morning I received an enthusiastic telephone-call from the parents.Ragma had slept better, her temperature was 379C., she was coughing a lotless, had stopped vomiting and was more active. The treatment (a sip of DTP200K every hour) was continued.

The next morning Ragma was full of beans. The fever had abated completely,her appetite was first-rate and she was drinking normally. Her facial colourwas back to normal. Medication was stopped and the lungs healed withoutproblems.

I dared to tackle Ragma's case because I had had ample experience of treatingPVS-complaints with potentised vaccine and had built up my faith in the ef-ficacy of this method. Antibiotics would almost certainly have worked tooslowly to prevent dehydration and hospitalization, whilst the DTP 200K notonly very effectively cured the post-vaccination syndrome but also restoredthe general defences.

TREATMENT OF THE LONG-TERM POST-VACCINATION SYN-

DROME

case 7

This 38-year-old woman is the mother of Ralf (case 13). In 1983 (at 28 yearsof age) she went to Indonesia and was given two each of cholera, DTP andtyphoid vaccinations and one -globulin. Since then she had been tired, hadlistless hair, her memory had become much less reliable and she was moody.She showed a serious lack of concentration and felt uneasy, afraid that shewould not get things done in time. Her sexual energy had completely disap-peared. She had been increasingly run-down. Also she had constant muscu-lar pain. She started overeating and gained more than 1½ stone. All thistime her faeces had been runny. She could not shake off a cold; when her chil-dren got colds she always caught them. She said to me: 'You know your dis-position and energy have changed, but you just can't be bothered to do any-thing about it. You feel indecisive. I've come to you with the children butwould never have come by myself.' In 1993, ten years after her holiday inIndonesia, her son Ralf was born by Caesarian section, for which she hadanaesthetic. After that she had two miscarriages and was once anaesthetizedfor D & C, after which both memory and concentration declined still further.I therefore gave her a series of Nux Vomica 30K up to XMK to clear the un-wanted effects of the anaesthetic. She clearly improved, her energy increasedand her headaches disappeared. She even sat in the sun without her veinsswelling and turning scarlet and without a headache. She was noticeably lessmoody, but her memory and concentration were still poor. A repeat of NuxVomica did not induce further improvement. My following step, starting inJune 1995 and still unfinished in September 1996, was to reduce the noxiouseffects of the vaccines. Healing is in this case a gradual process with some-times serious recurrences. The typhoid vaccination proved to be responsiblefor her complaints. She still reacts strongly to the potentised typhoid vaccine,

for her complaints. She still reacts strongly to the potentised typhoid vaccine,but shows further improvements after each treatment. Her memory has al-ready shown a marked improvement and she is clearly more energetic. In herown words: 'My will-power is back and I am a different person. If I look backto the period before treatment it is as if a blanket had been thrown over every-thing; everything I did was routine. The fog has now lifted. My concentra-tion has returned; I can read books again and feel like studying again - I re-member things better. I feel as if I'm making up for ten lost years. I'm fitnow when I get up in the morning and no longer tired as I was for all thoseyears.'

case 8

Another instance is reported by my colleague, who treated a 17-year-old girlfor urticaria* on the face. She had tried unsuccessfully throughout the wholecountry to find relief. When my colleague asked how long she had been trou-bled by this eczema her mother said that it started three months after the firstDKTP-injection, i.e. 17 years before. She was given a series of DKTP 30K,200K, MK and XMK over four days and the rash disappeared like snow be-fore the sun within 14 days and at the time of writing (nine months later)had never returned.

WEAKENED GENERAL DEFENCE

case 10

Patrick was nine months old when I first saw him. He constantly had a coldwith green mucus. His breathing had been erratic since birth, but was nowheavy and accompanied by phlegm. Mother stopped breast-feeding him afterfour and a half months. At this time he also developed eczema in the elbowsand behind the knees, which was treated with cortisone* ointment. He hadbeen inoculated according to the normal scheme (i.e. at 3, 4 and 5 months).Eight to ten days after the first DKTP/HIB he contracted bronchitis with

Page 46 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

Eight to ten days after the first DKTP/HIB he contracted bronchitis withcoughing fits, for which he was given antibiotics by the family doctor. Sincethen his breathing had been attended by expectoration. He caught a heavycold following the second DKTP/HIB. Only the third vaccination was givenin stages, first the DKTP and fourteen days later the HIB, which resulted infewer reactions. In the spring his right eye became inflamed and producedgreen pus and at the time I saw him he had an infection of the left inner ear.He had had in total three courses of penicillin and reacted each time with arash. At the time he was taking two puffs of Becotide* three times a day. Hewas perspiring heavily. I start treatment with a series of HIB, followed aweek later by a series of DKTP and again two weeks later by a series ofDKTP/HIB. When I next saw him five weeks later there had been no clearimprovement; of the last series he had only taken the 30K and had just hadan ear infection with a fever of 406C, which the family doctor treated withpenicillin. It still seemed that the injections were the only explanation for hiscomplaints. Apparently one disorder was masking another. Homoeopathyrecognizes that multiple disorders must always be treated in the correct se-quence, that is to say in the reverse order to that in which they appeared. Itappeared that the antibiotics had caused their own problems, which prevent-ed him from benefiting from the given therapy. I therefore started treatmentwith a series of Penicillinum 30K, 200K, MK and XMK; after the MK he re-acted with amber phlegm and a dry cough. Then the XMK was administeredand the amber phlegm disappeared entirely. Two weeks later he had the seriesDKTP/HIB, after which his improvement continued. One month later hewas fully recovered: his colds have disappeared and he no longer expecto-rates.

case 11

Another instance of reduced natural defences is Hanneke. She was sevenmonths old when she was first brought to my practice. Two months previ-ously she had caught her first cold, which was followed by an infection inside

ously she had caught her first cold, which was followed by an infection insideher right ear and bronchitis for which she was given a course of antibiotics.A week later the ear infection was on both sides and her bronchitis had notcleared up, so she had been given a second course of antibiotics. Since thenher breathing had been noisy owing to mucus in her lungs. I was told it allseemed to begin after the third DKTP. I prescribed a series of DKTP/HIB30K, 200K, MK and XMK on four consecutive days. Since then the ear in-fections and bronchitis have gone but the cold remained. She also started tosit, crawl and stand in a short time. It was then that it became clear that herdevelopment had almost imperceptibly been retarded. There was still fluid inher right ear-drum and, when tested, she appeared to hear practically noth-ing on the left and little on the right. Teething pains frequently made her cryat night. She still appeared distraught. At the end of February I gave her aseries of DKTP/HIB 30K, 200K, MK and XMK because the symptoms ofpost-vaccination disorders were still present. Following this her cold disap-peared. Her hearing is now once again perfect and she is thoroughly content.Hanneke is again as healthy as previously and her natural defences are fullyrestored.

case 12

Finally the case of Ellen. She was eleven months old when I first saw her inthe middle of February and had constantly had colds 'since birth'. She criedcontinually at night for the first few weeks, probably as a result of stomachcramps. At five months she suffered terribly for two weeks from fluid, squirt-ing diarrhoea. At eight months she was first bothered by a suppurating in-flammation of the middle ear and a temperature of above 40C. She was thengiven her first antibiotic treatment. After this she had four further attacks ofmiddle ear inflammation, the last accompanied by vomiting, watery diar-rhoea and a temperature between 375 and 386C. She was otherwise a brightchild, quite well-developed and she ate and slept without difficulty. Shesmells sour when she is unwell. She has had three DKTP's, to which she

smells sour when she is unwell. She has had three DKTP's, to which sheshowed no direct reaction. Middle-ear inflammation and digestive distur-bances are prevalent on the mother's side of the family. I began applying acommon homoeopathic treatment, without success. On April the 15th shewas given the fourth DKTP and 14 days later she again had a cold, broughtup mucus, developed purulent eyes, ate less, cried at night and got anotherinflammation of the middle ear. When I saw her at the beginning of Junewith both ears discharging, a dirty nose and purulent eyes, it was clear to methat she had PVS. I prescribed a DKTP 30K, 200K, MK and XMK on fourconsecutive days. On July the 20th the mother rang me to tell me that thechild 'had never been so well'. Everything has finished and it surprisedeveryone that the child looks so healthy. There was no relapse.

ASTHMA, BRONCHIAL ASTHMA, CHRONIC BRONCHITIS,PNEUMONIA

These are commonly occurring complaints.

The marked increase in young children suffering from these condi-tions could well be related to the many vaccines administered to thevery young9. The number of children with unrelenting colds and ear,nose and throat or respiratory infections is constantly increasing. It ismy belief that polluted air or infection passed on in nurseries andschools is less responsible for these instances than is generally accept-ed. A child should be able to rely on his natural defences. The occa-sional cold - without complications! - is perfectly natural. An increas-ing number of children has to contend with chronic or frequently re-curring infections which are treated time and again with antibiotics.

case 17 (extra)

Frances is a case in point. At nearly two years she had respiratory problems.

Page 49 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

From the week after her second DKTP she was seriously short of breath every

time she caught a cold. I therefore gave her DKTP 30K, 200K, MK andXMK on four consecutive days. Following the XMK she started crying atnight when going to sleep, something she had never previously done. She dis-played symptoms of severe panic. Four days after the XMK she developed acold, was weak in the legs and took to whining. I therefore gave her a DKTP200K in solution. She was still wheezy, but noticeably less than usual. Shestarted to improve slowly. At her next chill she still coughed but was nolonger stuffed up. Her last chill was free of all complications. Frances is nowperfectly content and her stuffiness has not returned.

case 18 (extra)

Another example is the case of Walter. I first saw him in my surgery whenhe was 14 months old. At three months he contracted pneumonia, which wastreated with penicillin, but he continued to cough. For a year he had beentaking 25 ml. of Deptropine* three times a day but the coughing fits contin-ued day and night. A PVS suggested itself, but the mother assured me thatthe pneumonia appeared before the first DKTP vaccination. He showed prac-tically no reaction to the DKTP's and HIB's. I then prescribed a homoeo-pathic preparation based on his symptoms, to which he hardly reacted. Afortnight later the mother informed me by telephone that on checking thebaby's records she had discovered that the pneumonia appeared four daysafter the first DKTP. I immediately prescribed DKTP 30K, 200K, MK andXMK on four consecutive days and a week later the coughing had completelyceased and the Deptropine was quickly decreased. A year's coughing andDeptropine was thus brought to an end.

case 19 (extra)

Joop was one-and-a-half, having been given the combined mumps, measlesand German measles jab at 14 months. After a week he caught a cold with

and German measles jab at 14 months. After a week he caught a cold with

noisy breathing. The DKTP's had hardly bothered him. A course of penicillinseemed to solve everything, but a month later he again had a cold with noisybreathing. I then gave him MMR 200K, three days running. His conditionimproved, but he did not completely recover. A series of MMR 30K, 200K,MK and XMK cured him completely and his complaints did not recur.

SKIN CONDITIONS (ECZEMA)

Skin complaints as a sign of an internal disturbance caused by vacci-nation are frequently observed. When the vaccinations are treatedwith potentised vaccine, even after a period of years, the complaintdisappears entirely, as for example the case of a 17-year-old girl whowas cured of her facial urticaria* by a series of DKTP in homoeopath-ic dilutions. (see case 8, page 28).

case 20 (extra)

Frits was five months old when he was first brought to my practice. For sixweeks he had displayed 'constitutional eczema' which started on his rightcheek and spread over his whole body. He was over-sensitive to indigenousfruit and allergic to cow-milk protein. Exactly one month before the eczemastarted he had had his first DKTP and just two days before his visit the sec-ond. I prescribed DKTP 30K, 200K, MK and XMK and following the MK hedeveloped a fever, so the XMK was postponed. The eczema abated quickly.After 14 days he received the XMK and the eczema disappeared completely.One month later the whole series was repeated owing to a slight recurrence,after which the eczema was completely cured.

case 21 (extra)

Bert was eight months old. Since his first DKTP/HIB he had eczema in his

Page 51 of 58http://www.post-vaccination-syndrome.com/3924/the-post-vaccination-syndrome.aspx

Bert was eight months old. Since his first DKTP/HIB he had eczema in hiselbows, on his back, on his legs and on his shoulders. He contracted chicken-pox between the second and the third vaccination. After the third DKTP/HIBthe eczema grew much worse, becoming very itchy and moist. Following thefirst inoculation he suffered from chronic colds and his breathing became'husky' (as his mother described it). He had twice been bothered by pus in hiseyes. The paediatrician's diagnosis was constitutional eczema. His advicewas to use a hormone ointment. Up to three months Bert had been a healthychild. Treatment was started with DKTP/HIB 30K, 200K, MK and XMK onfour consecutive days. Bert's eczema (especially on the back) worsened, ac-companied by a high fever immediately after the first (30K) dose. His temper-ature dropped spontaneously to normal after a day; the higher potencies werepostponed and the DKTP/HIB 30K was repeated a day later. As the eczemadid not increase the higher potencies were then administered following thenormal schedule. Two weeks later Bert was given a series of Varicellinum(chicken-pox) to correct a possible energetic imbalance resulting from thechicken-pox. This series was not accompanied by any noticeable worsening.Approximately five weeks after the treatment was started the eczema startedto clear up quickly and two weeks later he was completely free of the condi-tion. His bronchia were again fully open and he no longer suffered colds.Also he was no longer hyperactive and his moodiness and temper had disap-peared and his hair and nails were growing normally again (noticeably morequickly than before). He still had pus in his eyes every morning. TheDKTP/HIB series was therefore repeated two months after the start of treat-ment. If this complaint is related to the inoculations it should disappear fol-lowing this course of treatment. This appeared to be the case six weeks laterand Bert is again a healthy child.

case 22 (extra)

Joep provides another illustration. He was two-and-a-half when he was firstbrought to my practice. A highly itchy rash caused him great distress, espe-

Page 52: The Post-Vaccination Syndrome - Post-Vaccination Syndrome -  homeopathy, vaccination and autism website Dr. Tinus Smits

brought to my practice. A highly itchy rash caused him great distress, espe-cially at night. He awoke between ten thirty and eleven o'clock every nighthaving scratched himself in his sleep and the eczema was then red and weep-ing. He then reawoke once or twice and could only be comforted by a drink.The condition started with red swellings over his whole body when he wasone month old. The GP prescribed a cortisone ointment, with little success.From three months onward (after his first DKTP) the rash spread and hecame out in red blotches, the irritation worsened and he scratched until hebled. When he was one year old his parents first went to a homoeopathic doc-tor but every remedy merely aggravated his condition without curing it. Hisparents then consulted a dietician, again without success.

Joep was vaccinated at the usual age but showed hardly any reaction to thevaccination apart from a worsening of his dermatological problems. It seemedadvisable in this case also to approach a solution in stages, starting by elimi-nating the disorders caused by vaccination; if the vaccines continue to inter-fere, any sort of dedicated approach to the disturbance would merely aggra-vate the condition and they will prevent successful treatment of the child.That is probably what happened during treatment by the homoeopathic doc-tor when Joep was one year old. Treatment with MMR 30K, 200K, MK andXMK on four consecutive days was started; from the first day he becamecalmer and slept more peacefully, the itchiness and rash having lessened. Healso ceased crying when he awoke at night and no longer wanted to drink.His night-time thirst started after the MMR. Two weeks later he was giventhe DPT + polio series following which he became calmer still and theeczema continued to improve. I saw Joep four weeks after the first consulta-tion and am continuing treatment with a basic remedy that should furtheralleviate his disposition to eczema.

IRREGULARITIES IN CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT

We are frequently confronted by children in whom a satisfactory bod-

We are frequently confronted by children in whom a satisfactory bod-ily, emotional and mental development suddenly becomes retarded.

The weight-curve is seen to flatten out and the child's developmentthen becomes unsettled. Neither the parents nor the doctor can un-derstand what is wrong. Stimulating therapies are prescribed, towhich the child reacts only with difficulty. There is something wrongwith the child: its development is unsteady.

case 23 (extra)

Lieke is one such child. She is nearly two. When she was approximately threemonths old the first signs of her eczema manifested themselves on her chestand it has now spread to the elbows, the legs and the cheeks. She dribbles reg-ularly and her eyes are inflamed, oozing green pus. She also constantly pro-duces green mucus. In other words, a clear lack of general defences. Her bodyis very tense and she has not started to walk. She started to crawl severalmonths ago. She has been attending weekly physiotherapy sessions for nearlya year but she cries incessantly and the physiotherapist is at a complete losswith her. In addition she has problems with her bowel movements, having tostrain although the faeces are quite soft. She is still on semi-solid feeding andretches whenever there are lumps in her food. Her speech development isvery retarded. She was vaccinated at the usual age and had a day's fever af-ter each DKTP/HIB and the MMR. Everything points to a 'post-vaccinationsyndrome': the initial eczema at three months, the inflamed, running eyesand the green mucus from three to five months, weak bodily defences and anatrophied development, both motor and mental. Although the conditionclearly seems to revolve around the DKTP/HIB it is advisable to start byeliminating the disturbing influence of the MMR. Because a sort of accumu-lation effect can be present this layer must be treated first; otherwise theMMR could act as an obstruction. So Lieke was given a MMR 30K, 200K,MK and XMK on four consecutive days, after which she was clearly happierand a heavy cold with watery secretions set in (the clean-up has started!). A

and a heavy cold with watery secretions set in (the clean-up has started!). Afortnight later the DKTP/HIB series of 30K, 200K, MK and XMK followed,again over four days. She started to drink more and an improvement in herhealth became slowly noticeable. When I saw her after another six weeks shewas completely changed. She has become more content, no longer cries atnight, is more active and genuinely plays. She can now occupy herself fullywith something for half-an-hour at a time where she previously continuallywent from one thing to another and always tried to involve her mother. Sheis also far less tense and her physiotherapist was dumbfounded at her lastvisit, saying 'You should have done this a year ago!' Her muscular activityhas progressed considerably: she stands for long periods, pushes a trolley orwalks hand-in-hand with an adult, crawls much more and has started toclimb. Her mother says that she now does what she should have been doing ayear before. She is inquisitive, active and enterprising. She complains a lotless about not being able to do what she wants. She enjoys her play and nolonger lets her older brother take things away from her. Her bodily com-plaints have largely disappeared and after a repeat series of DKTP/HIB inpotency the treatment can successfully be terminated.

case 24 (extra)

Tim is another case in point.One April morning Tim's mother rang me because her son of nearly 10months was running a temperature of nearly 40C. It would appear that hehad constantly had a chill since his third DKTP in January. The first twoDKTP's had not caused any problems. But after the third vaccination therewas a clear drop-off in his development. He was mopish and inactive and hashardly grown in three months. His hair and nails were not growing either.He had taken to sleeping more frequently and did not want to do anything.Once a happy child he was now miserable. In January he could already sit,but now he kept falling down. I advised the mother to give him a DKTP200K in solution. The following day the fever was lower and the medication

200K in solution. The following day the fever was lower and the medicationwas continued for another day. When I saw Tim one week later he was quiteback to normal. He is now happy again, has started crawling and can sitagain (the mother took him to my surgery on a baby-seat on her bicycle). Heis active again and mother has noted that in a week his hair and nails havestarted growing again. The chill has disappeared. He has completely recov-ered from his stunted growth-pattern.
