Isn't it interesting that all this time the officials have been saying that vaccines do not cause autism, etc, etc. No evidence of any harm, blah, blah.

I was amazed when I heard how many vaccines are now given to young children. Apart from adverse events from preservative agents in these vaccines, one has to wonder about subjecting a young immune system to that many assaults.

It doesn't follow that if a little vaccinating is good, a huge amount is better. When aren't the researchers and medical officials using more common sense?

I wonder about the ill effects of Thimerosol on Lymies?

Many of us were vacinated after we had bb.

It is not so much the vaccines, but the mercury in the form of Thimerosol in the vaccine.

Have I told you that our son at the age of 8 weeks was vaccinated with the DPT that contains the preservative Thimerosol. The vaccines still contain Thimerosol today. He was a well and happy baby at ten o'clock in the morning when I took him to the doctor. He got his shot. At 7 PM that night I found him dead in his bed.

"They" still are using that stuff; they call this type of infant death SIDS. To me it is nothing but murder. For others it is a burden to carry all through life unless you find a way to get rid of it.

At the last conference I attended teaching Dr. K's methods of treatment and ART, there was a researcher scientist as a speaker. His company had the task the year before last to test the flu vaccine that was given to people. They found 23 life viruses in the vaccine!!!

A mother who has a mouthful of amalgams and is also exposed to mercury every day of her life, is passing the mercury on to her child in utero, as well as through breastfeeding. Any baby then getting a series of vaccines containing more mercury/Thimerosol has little chance. Mine died, others suffer from autism and have a struggle with life.

Mercury is a neurotoxin.

Take care.

GiGi, that's a shocking story! My condolences on the tragic loss of your son. That's a heartbreaking story and my heart goes out to you and your family.

I truly admire and comprehend your steadfast crusade to educate others on the dangers of Mercury poisioning. It's shameful that Thimerosole is still being used.

GiGi,
I am so sorry for your loss. So, many lives have been affected by this. It is almost unbelievable that they have been allowed to continue using this.

My two year old has still not received her MMR. I have continually refused. At one time, they could be found separate. The cost is expensive but worth it. I have not been able to find them.

Do you know of anywhere that I could find them separate? The correlation between the beginning of mass vaccinating in the mid 90's and autism is phenominal. It has gone from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 250 in less than 10 years (last report I read).

Thanks again for the help and kindness you give to us all.

Do "we" have the knowledge to make the vaccines with mercury and other toxins?

I have been telling people this (not here just people I know and young parents) for 4 years since my son was adversly affected from the MMR vaccine and the Hep B and many others. THe poor kid got 26 different vacs by the time he was 2. If you want to see the thousands of desperate parents trying to get the mercury and other heavy metals out of their children go to yahoo group http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Autism-Mercury/

and you will see just how tragic it really is. I think that its just as much of an epidemic as lyme is. Way too many kids with add/adhd/ and Pdd and autism anymore, not even mentioning the behavior problems abound.
Think twice before vaccination that is my advice.

Oh, GiGi, I did not know. My sincere sympathy to you and your husband for your loss.

My daughter (now 28), when given her first DPT shot, had a bad reaction...fever, crying (pains), red inflammed area where injected (thigh).

As an infant, she had "perfect" skin...but a few months later, developed a brown spot exactly where the shot was given. It remains to this day. She developed asthma at age 2 (to molds).

She recently had a difficult pregnancy and her child had/has problems.

What in the world are we doing?! Mercury in vaccines, fluoride in our water, toxic chemicals in diet drinks? The list goes on. These are making us SICK!

The article above, which I read this morning, was also on Web MD...as was mention of using the ketogenic diet for seizures/epilepsy.

Curious (not) that this therapy is once again at the "forefront".

This is not the best/safest way to shut down the glycolysis pathway (and kill infections), but it is one way.

P.S. GABA works the same as Depakote (for migraines and seizures) and Xanax (for anxiety) ...the drug companies KNOW what they are doing..from the get-go.

Ritalin increases serum (plasma) Mg levels and changes the Mg-Ca ratio. Where is this extra Mg coming from? Is this setting up depression in later life (Mg storage levels lowered) as has been recently reported (Preteen use of Ritalin leads to depression in later life)? These kids are not Ritalin deficient. They likely are Mg-B6 deficient. B6 due to insufficient "friendly" bacteria.

Babies do not have enough "friendly bacteria" to make many vitamins, enzymes and even some antibodies for them. They are born with a "clean" bowel. This is why their immune systems are not fully developed. Calcium also plays an issue. Babies bones are soft (more Mg than Ca). Both of these minerals are needed to form healthy antibodies. Watch the news...the push is back on to promote breastfeeding. Curious that the ONLY formula available with probiotics added is in Europe. I tried to get it for my grandaughter.

Sorry for rambling. I, too, get really upset when it comes to what these drug companies have done to our children.

Marnie,
That is one of the recommended treatments for children with autism, PDD, ADHD by one of the leading experts in the world on Autism (Dr. Bernard Rimland). He highly recommends B6 and Magnesium for treatment with these children instead of drugs. He also recommends high doses of vit C. The difference these make in these children (as well as other natural vitamins) is remarkable and he has the quantitative studies to prove it. If anyone wants details let me know.
