Preliminary results of the state of health of unvaccinated children

As we approach the 10,000th participant in our survey, I would like to present to you a small (tiny) part of the results. Right now we are working on the technical side, which is giving us a bit of a headache, because the amount of data is so huge that the current server can´t handle it.

Therefore I am presenting to you only one graph, which shows the results of the questions about atopy (spectrum of allergic diseases)

Asthma, hayfever and neurodermatitis  are seen very frequently today. A recent German study with 17461 children (most of them vaccinated) between 0-17 years (KIGGS) showed that 4.7% of children suffer from asthma, 10.7% of children suffer from hayfever and 13.2% from neurodermatitis. These numbers vary in western countries, e.g. the prevalence of asthma among children in the US is 6% and 14-16% in Australia (Australia’s Health 2004, AIHW)

The prevalence of asthma among 7400 unvaccinated children in our survey (on the German site www.impfschaden.info we have around 2200 participants) is less than 2.5% (the question also included cases of chronic bronchitis), hayfever 2.6% and neurodermatitis around 7%.

According to the KIGGS study, more than 40% of children between 3 and 17 years were sensitized against at least one allergen tested (20 common allergens were tested) and 22.9% had an allergic disease. Although we did not perform bloodtests, less than 11% of the children had an allergy, according to their parents.

The graphs show the illnesses for all participants irrespective of their age. In the final results will present to you the option to select the information by specific age groups, gender and countries.
