By Catherine J. Frompovich / August 5, 2011

According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services.

Time to Say “Enough!”

By Catherine J. Frompovich / August 2, 2011

There comes a time in everyone’s consciousness and life when one realizes that too many things are going off beam and that life is becoming more problematic day by day, especially now when it comes to our health, which probably is our most valued personal possession, and which seems to be undermined in various and […]

Murdoch’s Vaccine World

By Catherine J. Frompovich / July 22, 2011

Everyone by now has heard about the phone tapping scandal that rocked both the British newspaper world and Rupert Murdoch’s business empire. But what needs to be spotlighted, I think, is the possible role that Murdoch’s London Times may have played in the professional evisceration of respected British gastroenterologist, Dr. Andrew Wakefield. William Newton did […]

Is There Payola In Pharmacology?

By Catherine J. Frompovich / July 6, 2011

Do you remember a child’s saying, “Pishper shame, pishper shame, you ruined your name”, when someone was caught telling a fib? Well, what should we be saying now that it’s revealed that several respected medical researchers have been caught with their ‘disclosure pants’ down? According to the social causes network site Care2’s recently posted article, […]

What Happens When…

By Catherine J. Frompovich / July 1, 2011

With Child Protective Services (CPS) virtually in every city, county, and state in the USA, what happens when a parent harms a child? Child Protective Services removes the child from the parents’ care and custody and then places the child under the agency’s foster care program with parents facing legal charges. So, what would happen […]

Antibiotics in Vaccines

By Catherine J. Frompovich / June 24, 2011

On June 2, 2011, The New York Times posted an online editorial that caught my eye, “The High Cost of Cheap Meat,” in which small doses of antibiotics in animal feed were discussed as the probable cause of the growing concern over an ineffectiveness in eliminating bacterial ‘super bugs’ that are overwhelming our immune systems […]

Formaldehyde in Vaccines

By Catherine J. Frompovich / June 14, 2011

It’s official, or as official as it can be: The New York Times reports that formaldehyde is listed as a carcinogen by government scientists, and that “…it is found in worrisome quantities in plywood, particle board, mortuaries and hair salons.” http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43362696/ns/health-the_new_york_times However, both the U.S. government and The New York Times forgot to include that […]

Part 1 of 3: An Interview About Vaccines with Helen V. Ratajczak, PhD

By Catherine J. Frompovich / June 6, 2011

“The only safe vaccine is one that is never used.” Dr. James R. Shannon, former Director, National Institute of Health [1955-68]   In today’s environment of mandatory vaccines with no safety studies performed on them by the U.S.FDA—at least according to Congressional Hearings on vaccines and autism held 1999-2004—since they would cost too much per […]

Vaccines Alternative to Thimerosal

By Catherine J. Frompovich / May 30, 2011

There’s an adage that goes something like this: “Jumping from the frying pan into the fire.” Perhaps that can apply to what’s been happening in vaccine manufacture since the trend is to replace Thimerosal (49.6% mercury) with a ‘safer’ and ‘less toxic’ substitute: 2-Phenoxyethanol (2-PE). Whether 2-PE is a safer vaccine preservative needs to be […]

Aluminum in Vaccines: Where Are the Safety Studies?

By Catherine J. Frompovich / May 26, 2011

Since the 1930s vaccine makers have been using aluminum as an adjuvant in vaccines. However, from what I’ve been able to gather over years of researching vaccines and vaccinations, there doesn’t seem to be studies determining aluminum safety issues. If such studies exist, I hereby request the U.S. CDC and FDA please publish them and […]

Is There A Hidden Agenda In Vaccines?

By Catherine J. Frompovich / May 18, 2011

Polysorbate 80 is known to cause anaphylactic shock. So why is it in vaccines that are given to infants, toddlers, teens, and just about everyone who receives a flu vaccination? Because of that ability to cause anaphylactic shock, FDA should mandate that polysorbate 80 be removed from all vaccines. Additionally, polysorbate 80 must be investigated […]

Hepatitis B Vaccine & Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

By Catherine J. Frompovich / May 11, 2011

If there is anything such as ‘breaking news’ and ‘stop the presses’, it ought to be this: Hepatitis B vaccine can cause Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). That’s what the U.S. National Vaccine Injury Compensation (NVIC) Program agreed, accepted, and settled in the lawsuit brought on behalf of Tambra Harris, who contracted SLE after receiving the […]

Big Pharma’s Sugar Daddy: The U.S. Congress

By Catherine J. Frompovich / May 11, 2011

Tuesday, May 10, 2011, I had the distinct pleasure of viewing a live feed of the press conference held on the steps of the U.S. Vaccine Court in Washington, DC, where attorneys representing clients and families damaged by vaccines, particularly autism disorder spectrum disabilities, challenged the U.S. Congress to investigate what’s really going on with […]
