Shaken Baby Syndrome
I am a pathologist and a hematologist. My qualifications are MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine) University of Madras 1942; DTM&H (Diploma of Tropical Medicine) University of Liverpool; FRCPA (Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists) 1960 (Australia); FRCPath (Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists) 1972 (United Kingdom). I have substantial experience in hematology and have had experience in interpreting laboratory results for over 30 years. I have been a part time lecturer in Medicine at the University of Queensland and have instructed candidates appearing for Fellowship of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia.

Quotes
My paper on “Coagulopathy mistaken for Shaken Baby Syndrome” was rejected –
it recorded the case of a child given six vaccines on the same day and who was
ill with fever, irritability and diarrhoea the next day and was dead three weeks
later. Death was certified to be due to the Shaken Baby Syndrome on the evidence
of Pathologists, Paediatricians and Radiologists when all the haematological and
biochemical evidence clearly indicated death was due to a coagulopathy following
hepatic insufficiency and malnutrition. [BMJ Aug
2002] History repeats itself (shaken baby syndrome)
In April 2004, Michael D. Innis, the renowned Australian
pathologist-hematologist and an expert on SBS, wrote in a communication
to the British Medical Journal (BMJ): ". in spite of
being repeatedly challenged to document a single
authenticated case of shaken baby syndrome or
shaking/impact Injury, no one has been able to do so. All they are
required to do to convince judges, juries, and those of us who regard the
condition as a spurious diagnosis, is present a case which:
1. was not vaccinated within 21 days of the onset of symptoms;
2. was shown to have a normal coagulation/hemostatic system;
3. had no evidence of malnutrition, and was not artificial fed or
premature, since these factors predispose to fractures .
If the numerous pediatricians, ophthalmologists, radiologists and
pathologists, who have given evidence in courts in the U.K., U.S. and
Australia, are unable to document a single properly investigated case,
there is good reason to abandon the diagnosis."
Shaken Baby Syndrome And
Multiple Vaccinations: An Investigation By Red Flags
Columnist, F. Edward Yazbak, MD, FAAP
They will have successfully demolished my explanation if they can document a
single case of Shaken Baby Syndrome or “inflicted shaking/impact injury” (as
they prefer to call it), which occurred outside the 21-day period and in which a
disorder of haemostasis, nutrition, or liver disease was convincingly excluded.
I repeat, the diagnosis of Shaken
Baby Syndrome or inflicted shaking/impact injury is a proven figment of the
imagination of some in the medical profession and should be relegated to the
scrap heap of history before it causes any more shame to the profession and
disaster to innocent families.

To prevent death following vaccination Alan
Clemetson's opinion is;
"There are very rare instances of severe
reactions or even death following the usual infant
inoculations. Although such events are rare, we need
to do all we can to prevent them.
Animal observations have shown that the blood
histamine concentration is increased following the
injection of vaccines or toxoids and this is most
likely responsible for the problems.
Vitamin C supplementation is now known to reduce
the blood histamine levels; it also reduces the
mortality rates following inoculations, both in
animals and in man.
It is suggested that inoculations should not be
given to severely debilitated infants and that
supplementary vitamin C should be given in orange
juice, before inoculation, to any infant with
coryza, and also to any infant or adult who is to
receive an unduly large number of inoculations at
one time.
Moreover, vitamin C should be given by injection
whenever convulsions or other untoward events occur
within a day or two after vaccination or
inoculation."[1] Why not try Clemetson's suggestions - out of
curiosity? ----Michael D
