Guillain – Barre Syndrome

The notes below are from “The Vaccine Book” by Dr. Robert Sears (October 2007; pages 181), which provides much more detail. This section is copied verbatim.

The body’s immune system attacks the nervous system, causing temporary weakness and some paralysis. The effect usually wears off after several weeks, but a person must receive intensive care in the meantime to support the body systems that aren’t working (including respiration), and this illness is potentially fatal. It has been reported after various vaccines, although no one has proven that the vaccines actually caused the reaction. The product inserts of some tetanus-containing viruses state that there is enough evidence to say the vaccines can cause this reaction. This condition also strikes for no apparent reason, even when no vaccines were recently given.

Below is an old 60 Minutes segment on a woman who developed Guilain – Barre during the Government’s mass vaccination program in the mid- to late- 1970s.

Order your copy of The Vaccine Book for much more valuable information, including an alternative vaccine schedule that is meant to minimize your child’s exposure to potential toxins, such as aluminum. Also, visit www.TheVaccineBook.com for more updated information.

The below is from “What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children’s Vaccinations” by Stephanie Cave, M.D., F.A.A.F.P. with Deborah Mitchell; 2001; pages 96-97

Guillain – Barre syndrome is an inflammatory condition in which the immune system starts to destroy the myelin sheath that covers the peripheral nerves. The myelin sheath speeds up the transmission of nerve messages. When this sheath is destroyed, the result is paralysis of the nerves in the legs, arms, lungs, and neck, and often those that control the eyes, heart, and throat.

Guillain – Barre syndrome is neither contagious nor hereditary, and it is rare: 1 to 2 persons per 100,000 get the disease every year. Its cause is unknown, but in about 50% of cases it appears after a viral or respiratory tract infection.

In September 1994 the Institute of Medicine released its report, “Adverse Events Associated with Childhood Vaccines: Evidence Bearing on Causality,” in which it acknowledged a causal relationship between diptheria and tetanus toxoids and live oral polio vaccine and Guillain – Barre syndrome. The Institute’s announcement was supported by a few later studies, but overall, little research has been done.

  • In 1998 a retrospective analysis of Guillain – Barre syndrome in Finland between 1981 and 1986 showed an association between polio virus infection, caused by either the wild (natural) virus or the live vaccine, and an increase in episodes of Guillain – Barre syndrome within a few weeks of a mass polio vaccine campaign. Because there was widespread circulation of wild polio virus immediately before the immunization program began, the researchers cannot definitely prove that the oral polio vaccine was the cause of the increase in Guillain – Barre syndrome cases.
  • In Brazil researchers isolated Sabin-related polio virus vaccine strains from thirty-eight patients with Guillain – Barre syndrome. Nearly all the patients had received their last dose of oral polio vaccine months or years before the onset of the disease.
