I started on antiviral medications which<br />reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus<br />became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from<br />ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their<br />treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after<br />the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing<br />treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.<br />MATINAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558912772822043673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-45151936335466995572008-12-03T18:45:00.000-05:002008-12-03T18:45:00.000-05:00Ginger good going.

Such studies would show how the changes affect the total.</I><BR/><BR/>Such studies <B>should</B> show how those changes affect the total, but this one doesn't. For those who want to look at the study themselves, it can be found here:<BR/><BR/>http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/reprint/112/3/604.pdf<BR/><BR/>This one is relatively simple to read. They mention the differences in the pre/post 1995 database in the abstract and several times in the paper. The graphs are of the database as a whole, not with outpatient cases post 1995 removed.<BR/><BR/>They make mention that they did a version of the study that had looked at only impatient cases in the database (a method I mentioned could yeald something meaningful in my post called The Hurry-up Offense) and say that, "The same trend with an increase in the incidence rates from 1990 until the end of the study period was seen (data not shown)." <BR/><BR/>It does not say what the increase is, or even show us any evidence to support that statement. Was it an increase of .001% or 100%?<BR/><BR/>They never say, as you say they should, how this change effects the total. If they published that some where else, I have not seen it. Have you found any other versions, one that is more complete perhaps? <BR/><BR/>Then later it says that the inpatient increase might exist because of better diagnostics.<BR/><BR/>They even comment that, "outpatient activities were included in the Danish Psychiatric Central Research Register in 1995 and because many patients with autism in former years have been treated as outpatients this may exaggerate the incidence rates"<BR/><BR/>But in the next paragraph they ignore all that and still claim that there was an increase in autism.<BR/><BR/>I could break this down for you further, but I am out of town now and can't really do it justice. <BR/><BR/>I found another possible confounder on my re-read tonight that I want to look into further.<BR/><BR/>I also see that you posted on Orac, I will read that and your incorporate relevant observations into my two posts on the Danish Study.<BR/><BR/><I>Also, can you tell me the name of that clinic?</I><BR/><BR/>I will get that information for you.Ginger Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200286625735078479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-1124179539065076232005-08-16T04:05:00.000-04:002005-08-16T04:05:00.000-04:00"The low incidence of autism during the use of thi..."<I>The low incidence of autism during the use of thimerosal can be attributed to the fact that the database that was used only tracked inpatient cases of autism at the time. At the point in time where thimerosal was removed, the database was expanded to include cases that were diagnosed at a large clinic outside of Copenhagen where 20% of the countries autistic patents were diagnosed. At the point in time where thimerosal was no longer used, but the cases of autism seem to have skyrocketed, the database had expanded further to include all cases of autism, inpatient and outpatient, in the country.</I>"<BR/><BR/>You know what, you keep saying that they used different numbers, but that seems unlikely to me. Such studies would show how the changes affect the total. <BR/>Also, can you tell me the name of that clinic?<BR/><BR/>I have some knowledge of the databases in use for tracking diseases and other health related issues - they are maintained by the Danish Ministry of Health, and are national, though it is possible to get regional data.Kristjan Wagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09555892468280743919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-1123981196297994412005-08-13T20:59:00.000-04:002005-08-13T20:59:00.000-04:00I took a class in medical librarianship in library...I took a class in medical librarianship in library school. We spent a couple of weeks on evidence based medicine: what is it, how does it work, where are the resources and how do you use them. I was told that epidemiological studies, by themselves, don't qualify as ebm resources. Thanks Ginger for doing an excellent job of demonstrating the dangers and weaknesses of epidemiological "proof".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771487.post-1123944041063329142005-08-13T10:40:00.000-04:002005-08-13T10:40:00.000-04:00I often draw an analogy between epidemiological st...I often draw an analogy between epidemiological studies and forensic accounting. In either case, if one changes the input parameters, one changes the result. You have done a wonderful job of illustrating how that can, and has, happened. The Simpsonwood transcripts may not show a conspiracy, but they certainly demonstrate part of the process that led to the “Frankenstein’s Monster” nominally attributed to Verstraeten.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
