Due to confidentialty, I cannot give the patients name, I will forward to you my findings or concerns that could help you to understand whether or not the flu/pneumonia vaccine or Hepatitis B shots has adverse reations. The patient was not on any medicines at the time, therefore indication is that it was either of these vaccines. The patient had been removed or medicine was on as needed basis, at least 6 weeks prior to this lab resuts: While on other bio-genetically engineered meds, the patients lab results was way above the ESRD & normal range (in the 290's+), After the these meds were either removed or was reduced to as needed (about once a week instead of daily) the results dropped within the 89 (close to the ESRD), This was in lets say Month of October, the following month November, the patient  did not take the once a week med, this time (ofcourse the patients Asthma now improved, meaning her breathing improved, the peak flow data showed all the improvement.  However around mid October the patient went & received the usual flu & pneumonia vaccine, & remember no other medicines , (possible also Hepatitis B, I do not have that information currently, noticed your website..etc.) in November 1 month after the flu/pneumonia vaccine, the patients PTH jumped to 291. I suggest that you can easily do a before & after lab tests on patients on any of these vaccines or meds.  These tests should be given to young children or anyone receiving these meds & vaccine manufactured under the bio-genetically engineered Frame.  For this patient the parathyroid hormone was effected to my knowledge. Many of these meds if not all are hormone based which is a concern, it works in the short run, in the long run it adds furher illness, serious illness. We were lucky that we chose to work with our doctors & staff in finding the cause of all the illnesses. As far as how the patient is feeling, this years flu/pneumonia vaccine was more painful, it lasted 3 days (72 hours)(October 2004), the patient did have a fever afterwards, 2 months after the concern is that what she developed from having had to many medicines with side effects, was returning a few days a go, even the medicines that helped to cure the side effects has now been removed & it is on the list of medicines that may cause addtional side effects past 60 days of use.  For now we will go with the help of time & just plain eating nutritional foods.  When the FDA made it easier for the medicines to enter the market, they forgot to ask the manufacturer to make a test for every patient receiving these new meds, like the bio-intact PTH test or something that tells the doctor that the patients system is still within the normal or ESRD range.  I feel sorry for the old & the young who are unable to communicate, because once on these medicines how does one know or understand (I know the doctor provided the list of possible side effects sheet), if the side effect is happening or is it one waits for the worse case to happen.  I give this information so that you can help, I only ask that if the test available a manufacturer be chosen who will make it so that it is affordable to every person, not just the ones with insurance, because if you have 4 kids x $20.00 a shot is $80 that a parent with no insurance or a deductible could not afford, so I can count what it will cost when one has to test to make sure of adverse reactions.  Please note the patient I am speaking about refused in 99 % of the time to run to the doctor until the ambulance was required, the patient could not find the words to say that this is the worst medicines & the patient required the asthma medicines & the blood pressure medicines until one day got enough courage to say no & a helper who out of fear stayed with the patient 24 hours a day, watching for any changes & monitoring the patients breathing, which as I indicated to our surprise started to improve after the holding of the maintenance meds. The blood pressure improved also  I want you to understand that if a child says mommy this shot hurts, than 24 hours later the pain went away, but the vaccine is in the body for the remainder of the year, with no system in place in the event of a serious side effect nor a test to detect the side effect. How will an elderly on other meds & a child explain the medical terminology needed to explain what could be happening?  The other alternative is to develop vaccines that are no more than 30 days & see if they have adverse reaction or certainly no more than a 3 month vaccine. Bio-genetic is still new.   This patient got lucky, when the doctors & staff were willing to listern to the patient's family & worked towards removing the meds & it helped when the patients family volunteered to stay with the patient during this time.  The chances are zero as I look around & see the elderly & the working parents who can hardly afford the day care.  The best thing is to recruit all the future doctors & nurses & staff as volunteers in your community to help with the elderly other than waiting for that once a year doctors visits, taking their blood pressure daily, that is when our nations healthcare system will improve & so will the healthcare providers knowledge.  I say this is important enough to be in part of the education system.  Some tests for these meds are now in place as I have noticed on the lab sheets. I hope every hospital does this for their patients.  December 19, 2004  Last but most importantly, I ask that you post the list of the contents in the vaccine & other medicines.  A drug allergic test or allergy test than can easily indicate if the patient is already allergic to the chemical in it. Some patients already know some of their allergies, however if it states clearly in the insert than one can atlease alert their doctor. Why put the patient through the toughest search. The FDA makes sure that the food contents be listed, why isnt the medicines content listed? Aren't the manufacturers of the medicines in business to save lives? Well I am not a doctor or a nurse or a staff in the medical profession, I am just someone who had enough basic understanding that if the patient did not have all these illness when they were born than why at this old age & than we went to work to help the patient get well again.     Good luck, I hope this helps
