Hello Everybody

    Well, the debate rages on. The parents of children who have been injured by childhood immunization shots containing thimerasol seem to be facing a never ending battle against the government, the CDC and big pharma. It is time for all of America to take a stand against the injustice being forced on our children. There is now irrefutable evidence that the mercury in immunization shots causes brain injury. There is also irrefutable evidence that our government and big pharma have been lying to us about the damages caused by these shots. Please take a stand beside the families of those who have been injured as the result of this practice. Senator Bill Frist is possibly the main culprit in this massive cover up since he is the one who was paid so much by the pharmacuetical companies to sneak a bill into a defense spending bill that relieves the drug companies of all liability for damages caused by their drugs. They must be held accountable now and this Nov. is the time to begin the process of assigning this accountability.

PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release: October 12, 2006 Contact: Rita Shreffler, NAA (Nixa, MO) 417-818-9030 Wendy Fournier, NAA (Portsmouth, RI) 401-632-7523 CDC Announces New Autism Study as Advocacy Organizations Challenge Agency’s Motivations Concern among parents over past CDC handling of autism data casts a shadow on future studies Nixa, MO – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced a new study last week regarding the autism epidemic currently plaguing one in 166 children in the U.S. While the CDC has never officially declared autism an epidemic, the agency and the American Academy of Pediatrics released a joint “Autism A.L.A.R.M.” in 2004 which stated that one in six children now suffers from a developmental disorder and/or behavioral problem. This study comes following mounting concerns from parents and scientists that the CDC manipulated relevant vaccine safety data and that the agency may be concealing a connection between vaccines and the huge rise in autism and related disorders in recent years. “Many parents get nervous when they see ‘autism’ and ‘CDC’ in the same sentence, and for good reason,” commented Claire Bothwell, National Autism Association (NAA) board chair and parent of a vaccine-injured child diagnosed with autism. “The transcripts from the Simpsonwood meeting clearly show that the CDC was well aware of a relationship between mercury in vaccines and neurological disorders in children, yet they did all they could to see that this crucial information remained buried. How can parents ever trust this agency to conduct honest autism research given its past deceit?” The Simpsonwood transcripts are from a June, 2000 meeting of CDC scientists in Norcross, Georgia. The meeting was held to discuss the results of a study using the CDC’s vaccine safety data base to determine whether thimerosal, a mercury-based vaccine preservative, might be causing injury to young children. The transcripts were obtained by the nonprofit organization SafeMinds through the Freedom of Information Act and are now widely available to concerned parents seeking answers for once-healthy children who regressed into autism following exposure to mercury in vaccines. Compounding the mistrust of the CDC is the secretive manner in which data for other autism studies has been collected.  Last year, parents in Colorado and Arkansas became aware that the CDC had collected medical and school records of their children without obtaining parental consent. “It’s an outrage that this agency has complete access to any information they want on our children, and parents have no say in the matter whatsoever,” observed Bothwell. The CDC’s release on the new study doesn’t mention vaccines or mercury, fueling concerns of yet another smokescreen, steering attention from what many parents consider the most critical factor in the development of autism. “In my opinion, the study will muddy the waters further as they spend millions on anything other than the mercury portion of the equation,” noted NAA board member Laura Bono. The study includes data collection from cheek swabs and blood and hair sampling. “Even if mercury detection was a research objective, these methods would only be useful for recent exposures. Mercury clears the blood rapidly, settling in the brain and other target organs,” said Bono. “Additionally, the two to five year age range of the children in the study is of concern as the largest mercury exposures are among the older kids. The CDC knows this. Their unwillingness to explore the most plausible causation factor is very telling.” For more information on autism, go to www.nationalautism.org. -30-  Think Autism. Think Cure.

Hello Friends

    Every now and then I run across an article on autism that offers more than just the ususal information. The following is a very comprehensive report with a lot of information that you don't hear about very often. I hope that there is some information here that might help make someones life a little easier.  I really believe that there is a cure for autism right around the coener. I think once we get the government and Big Pharma to admitt they made some mistakes we will be well on our way to solving this mystery.

     Please click on the link at the bottom of this article, There is a lot more to this than I have posted here.

How To Improve Autism

In this report you will learn what causes autism or autistic like symptoms. More importantly, you will learn how to improve and perhaps even reverse autism autism in your child. By correcting the underlying causes of autism, using unique and highly effective natural remedies that are completely safe and easy to use at home. First, let’s start by going over some....

CAUSES OF AUTISM

• Vaccinations

• Environmental Toxins

• Lack of Glutathione

• Candida Overgrowth

• Viral Infections

• Foods containing Genetically Modified Organisms

• A Hiatal Hernia that disrupts protein digestion

Some researchers point the finger at the ill-conceived hepatitis B vaccination, which in 1989 started being given to newborns, as a major cause of autism. Others point to the MMR vaccine as a major cause. They are both right, as you will see.

The hepatitis B vaccination given to newborns makes no sense at all because a newborn’s immune systems is not developed at all. It can’t produce an immune response to the vaccine. As vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system, there is nothing for the vaccine to stimulate. So it does no good. All it is good for is to make plenty of money for the drug companies, the doctors who give the vaccines, and unfortunately, it seems to be a good way to create autism.

If you are not already aware of the vaccine/autism connection, that statement may seem like an exaggeration. If this is new to you, if you are not familiar with a book which details the cover-up of the autism -- vaccination connection by the government and the pharmaceutical industry,

Click Here to read an article written by Robert Kennedy Jr. on this very subject.

Vaccines contain a slew of toxins, including mercury in many cases, which overwhelm the child's ability to detoxify. Being tiny, with an undeveloped immune system, babies and young children cannot handle the toxins and pathogens in the vaccines. (Even adults have problems. A consensus is building that the Gulf War Syndrome was caused by the vaccinations given to the troops.) Vaccines introduce many more toxins into a child then it is able to get rid of. As a consequence, the toxins get stored in cells. This toxin buildup prevents the brain from functioning properly — and leads to autism.

Ingredients in vaccines (as listed by the CDC on their website) include antibiotics, aluminum gels, formaldehyde, monosodium glutamate (MSG), egg protein, and sulfites. A child could be allergic to antibiotics. Aluminum can, when there is a silicon deficiency, cause the brain conditions seen in Alzheimer’s disease. Formaldehyde is a highly toxic carcinogenic chemical. MSG is a potent excito-toxin which can cause seizures, brain tumors, and more. Egg protein could cause a life threatening anaphylactic reaction. Sulfites are another toxin which can cause allergic reactions.

Rebecca Carley, MD reports that "What the CDC does not list is that 13 vaccines at present (and more are in the works) are actually cultured on aborted human fetal tissues (go to www.cogforlife.org for more info).”

The CDC fails to mention the ethyl-mercury containing preservative thimerosol that has been in many vaccines, and still is in some. Dr. Carley points out that the "rate of occurrence of autism in the last generation became self-evident proof that vaccines are the causative factor."

The hepatitis B vaccination is especially bad because the baby is so young when given it. Many older children develop autism after getting the measles, mumps and rubella vaccination. Because the MMR vaccine contains three strains of viruses, it introduces into a small child more viruses than it’s poorly developed immune system can handle. It literally will cause multiple viral infections in the child that overwhelm the immune system, and does lead to the development of autism in some children.

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS

Of course, vaccines are not the only source of toxins our children are exposed to. We live in a highly toxic world that exposes a child to tens of thousands of chemicals. Toxic pesticide and herbicide residues on food, toxins in household cleaners and laundry detergent, toxic carpets and construction material outgas toxic fumes, the list goes on and on. These toxins show up in breast milk, in infant formula, in the food you feed your infant. On their own they are not enough to cause autism or its related syndromes, but when toxin laden, mercury and aluminum laden vaccines add to the burden, the toxic overload may reach the breaking point and contribute to the development of autism.

Dr. Carley makes the point though, that there is a fatal flaw in vaccines themselves that can lead to autism, autoimmune conditions and other diseases. This is why the MMR vaccine leads to autism even though it has no mercury in it. She writes:

"What the promoters of vaccination failed to realize is that secretory IgA (an antibody found predominately in saliva and secretions of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract mucosa) is the initial normal antibody response to all airborne and ingested pathogens. IgA helps protect against viral infection, agglutinate bacteria, neutralize microbial toxins, and decrease attachment of pathogens to mucosal surfaces....

"Bypassing this mucosal aspect of the immune system by directly injecting organisms into the body [via vaccines] leads to a corruption in the immune system itself whereby IgA is transmuted into IgE, and/or the B cells are hyper-activated to produce pathologic amounts of self-attacking anti-bodies as well as suppression of cytotoxic T cells.

"As a result, the pathogenic viruses or bacteria cannot be eliminated by the immune system and remain in the body, where they cause chronic disease and thus further grow and/or mutate as the individual is exposed to ever more antigens and toxins in the environment....

"The mechanism by which the immune system is corrupted can best be realized when you understand that the two poles of the immune system (the cellular and humoral mechanisms) have a reciprocal relationship in that when the activity of one pole is increased, the other must decrease. Thus, when one is stimulated, the other is inhibited. Since vaccines activate the B cells to secrete antibody, the cytotoxic (killer) T cells are subsequently suppressed....

"This suppression of the cell mediated response is thus a key factor in the development of cancer and life threatening infections.. The organisms continue circulating through the body, adapting to the hostile environment by transforming into other organisms depending on acidity, toxicity and other changes to the internal terrain of the body."

To recap what Dr. Carley says in more simple layman's terms, the viruses or antigens in vaccines that are supposed to stimulate the immune system's immune response, bypass the critical first line of defense for the immune system. They bypass the immune system components in the linings of the intestines, lungs and in saliva. As a consequence, vaccines do not stimulate the immune system in a healthy, effective manner. The side of the immune system that is supposed to kill the viruses and other pathogens, the T cells, becomes suppressed and ineffective so it can't kill them. The B cell side that causes allergic and autoimmune activity becomes over-active. So the immune system becomes seriously compromised and cannot work like it should. Autoimmune conditions develop where the overactive inflammatory side of the immune system starts attacking cells where pathogens or toxins are hiding. Thus the intestinal lining can get damaged. Thus Candida infections cannot be controlled. And more. Dr. Carley writes,

"The antigens present in the culture media itself [on which the viruses used to make the vaccine are grown] cannot be completely filtered and separated from the organisms cultured thereon [the vaccine's viruses]. Thus, any antibodies formed against antigens from the culture cells themselves (for example myelin basic protein from chick embryos or the 13 vaccines which now contain aborted human fetal cells) can cross-react to form an autoimmune reaction against the myelin basic protein in your myelin sheath, etc.”

Hello Everybody

    I have been researching Autism for quite a while now and I have discovered many things that have surprised and even shocked. One of the things that I have been very careful not to do is offer false hope for a cure. Well, after much deliberation and serious thought, I have decided to actually begin using the word cure when referring to autism. I have been receiving more and more information about possible cures and it isn't comming from mainstream medicine. It is more on the lines of alternative medicine. One of the things that I have noticed throughout all of my research is that alternative medicine tends to deal more with the root causes of illnesses rather than the symptoms. This makes good sense to me.

    The following article is an example of some of the research that is being reported on recently and I am beginning to believe that there really is a cure for autism. From this point forward, I am going to explore more about the cures for autism rather than the causes. I truly believe that we have reached the point where we can begin talking about cures without offering false hope. I hope and pray that the information that I am now beginning to explore is sound and truthful.

Family takes alternative steps to help autistic girls

Morris Twp. parents believe vaccines at fault

BY COLLEEN O'DEA
DAILY RECORD

MORRIS TWP. -- For years, Jonathan Rose and Gayle DeLong did the best they could for their daughters, both of whom are autistic, going beyond simple special education programs and trying commonly accepted methods to improve their behavior.

Then, in April 2005, David Kirby's book, "Evidence of Harm," which explores a possible link between mercury in vaccines and the explosion in cases of autism, made them think they could do more.

Now, almost 18 months after starting their daughters on a strict regimen of alternative therapies that includes near round-the-clock vitamins and supplements, a gluten-free diet and hyperbaric oxygen treatments, they finally feel they are really helping Jenny, 10, and Flora, 6.

"Both our daughters have shown clear improvement,"Jonathan Rose said.

Hello Everybody

   Who are you going to believe ? The government ? The insurance companies ?

The Pharmacuetical companies or the Mothers of children with autism ?

    As far as I am concerned the proof is in. Thimerosal causes autism. It is time to stop the lies and put an end to the cover up.

The poisonous public attacks on Katie Wright this week -- for revealing that her autistic son Christian (grandson of NBC Chair Bob Wright), has recovered significant function after chelation treatments to remove mercury -- surprised many observers unfamiliar with the acrimonious debate over the mercury-based vaccine preservative Thimerosal. But the patronizing attacks on the mothers of autistic children who have organized to oppose this brain-killing poison is one of the most persistent tactics employed by those defending Thimerosal against the barrage of scientific evidence linking it to the epidemic of pediatric neurological disorders, including autism. Mothers of autistics are routinely dismissed as irrational, hysterical, or as a newspaper editor told me last week, "desperate to find the reason for their children's illnesses," and therefore, overwrought and disconnected.

But my experience with these women is inconsistent with those patronizing assessments. Over the past two years I've met or communicated with several hundred of these women. Instead of a desperate mob of irrational hysterics, I've found the anti-Thimerosal activists for the most part to be calm, grounded and extraordinarily patient. As a group, they are highly educated. Many of them are doctors, nurses, schoolteachers, pharmacists, psychologists, Ph.D.s and other professionals. Many of them approached the link skeptically and only through dispassionate and diligent investigation became convinced that Thimerosal-laced vaccines destroyed their children's brains. As a group they have sat through hundreds of meetings and scientific conferences, and studied research papers and medical tests. They have networked with each other at meetings and on the Web. Along the way they have stoically endured the abuse routinely heaped upon them by the vaccine industry and public health authorities and casual dismissal by reporters and editors too lazy to do their jobs.

Many of these women tell a story virtually identical to Katie Wright's -- I have now heard or seen this grim chronology recounted hundreds of times in conversations, e-mails and letters from mothers: At 2-1/2 years old, Christian Wright exceeded all milestones. He had 1,000 words, was toilet-trained, and enjoyed excellent social relations with his brother and others. Then his pediatrician gave him Thimerosal-laced vaccines. He cried all night, developed a fever and, over the coming months, this smart, healthy child disappeared. Christian lost the ability to speak, to interact with family members, to make eye contact or to point a finger. He engaged in stereotypical behavior -- screaming, head-banging, biting and uncontrolled aggression, and suffers continuously the agonizing pain of gastrointestinal inflammation.

After hearing that story a couple dozen times, a rational person might do some more investigation. That's when one encounters the overwhelming science -- hundreds of research studies from dozens of countries showing the undeniable connection between mercury and Thimerosal and a wide range of neurological illnesses. In response to the overwhelming science, CDC and the pharmaceutical industry ginned up four European studies designed to disguise the link between autism and Thimerosal. Their purpose was to provide plausible deniability for the consequences of their awful decision to allow brain-killing mercury to be injected into our youngest children. Those deliberately deceptive and fatally flawed studies were authored by vaccine industry consultants and paid for by Thimerosal producers and published largely in compromised journals that neglected to disclose the myriad conflicts of their authors in violation of standard peer-review ethics. As I've shown elsewhere [see www.robertfkennedyjr.com], these studies were borderline fraud, using statistical deceptions to mislead the public and regulatory community.

The CDC and IOM base their defense of Thimerosal on these flimsy studies, their own formidable reputations, and their faith that journalists won't take the time to critically read the science. Meanwhile, the bureaucrats are simultaneously using their influence, energies and clout in a desperate bid to derail and defund and suppress any scientific study that may verify the link between Thimerosal and brain disorders. These would include epidemiological studies of the Amish-home-schooled kids and other unvaccinated American cohorts. The federal agencies have refused to release the massive public health information accumulated in their Vaccine Safety Database (VSD) in order to keep independent scientists from reviewing evidence that could prove the link. They are muzzling or blackballing scientists who want to conduct such studies.

Ironically, it is the same voices that once blamed autism on "bad parenting," and "uninvolved" moms that are now faulting these mothers for being too involved.

Due to this campaign of obfuscation and public deception, Thimerosal-based vaccines continue to sicken millions of children around the world and potential treatments -- like the chelation that benefited Christian Wright -- are kept out of the hands of the mainstream doctors now treating autistic kids with less effective tools. Like thousands of other mothers of autistic children, Katie Wright knows what sickened her child. Her efforts to spare other children and families this catastrophe, deployed with a cool head and calm demeanor, are truly heroic. Maybe it's time we all started listening. Maybe it's time to start respecting and honoring the maternal instincts and hard study of Katie and others by aggressively funding the studies that might verify or dispute them.
