Posted: 11/3/2009 9:26:06 AM | | Money should never ever come before human life . My family are devoted to autistic kids . My son in law works in a home in england . the forgotten souls of autisms . There familys cant cope with them . A lot of classicaly autistic kids can be very hard to deal with . These kids have workers who work with them . the kids get unsettled yes they start self harming . there restrained. these boys are ages with my son or a little older . yes everyone of them regressed . my son inlaw works most nights as he is the only person who can settle one of the boys . There are autistic kids all over the country . in this situation . there behaviours arent there fault . they need loads of love and understanding . my point is my son is fine i can cope . . these boys have also got terrible eating problems terrible bowel problems . not one is being treated the reson why . there speach went when they regressed and they cant say there in pain . but im sorry when a child to go to the toilet has to bend his self fallward hold his tummy . ohwhynot they wont test these kids because like thousands and thousands others . there bodys have the answers . and the answers are not liked . no it isnot alright to inject a toxin that most definately harming kids into any child anywere on this earth . money is the isue here thirmosal is only the preservative . remove it 100%from all vaccines . ok the shelf life might not be as long but no more kids will have (mercury tests done and there of the scale ) weird how when you detox it the kids start to improve drastically . there are loads parents now documenting all the facts video proof . and also test results . cdc admitted hannah polin had autism like symtoms .. hardly unique in the world of autism. She had an uneventful birth; she seemed to be developing normally — smiling, babbling, engaging in imaginative play, speaking about 20 words by 19 months. And then, right after receiving a bunch of vaccines, she fell ill and it all stopped. Hannah, now 9, recovered from her acute illness but she lost her words, her eye contact and, in a matter of months, began exhibiting the repetitive behaviors and social withdrawal that typify autism. "Something happened after the vaccines," says her mom, Terry Poling, who is a registered nurse and an attorney. "She just deteriorated and never came back.".. doesnt this sound like what im saying . doesnt this sound echo in ever country . my son is at presant being detoxed he has a 16 mnth old neice hes only 8 you should see them playing together and laughing .... (lets get all kids tested for autism like symptoms then ) I want the goverments to look at there bloods urine tell me why if its autism most these kids alsoo have health isues . .. they see a set symtoms give it a label then close the door . no kid deserves to spend its childhood isolated unable to conect with other people . .. wat makes us human our social skills our commuinication .. .. these kids 100% need help my own son has jumped 4 classes in one yr .. ok the symptoms aint all gone but hes improving drastically ...... I ask as a mother how can this be if he truely has autism . ... this is untreatable is it not . its a lie and parents i havent payed an arm and a leg for treatment . mercury test are not expensive i import them but available in america . there is a home test so no one can pull the wool over your eyes x | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 6:15:19 PM | Linda, i dont mean to sound un-empathetic to your sons autism.
I realize it has to be painful to watch your own precious beloved child struggle with this.
And with your passion o the subject, you seem you would make a great activist to champion for autistic kids.
But, maybe there are other causes to autism? Maybe it is in our prenatal vitamins? maybe we shouldnt eat pickles when pregnant, maybe some women are deficient of a vitamin while gestating, myabe its a chemical in the pampers, maybe its what they cleaned the hospital floor with in the maternity ward where we gave birth, maybe its global warming, maybe its the plastic in baby bottles, maybe it is the smog factor in our cities, maybe it is just a genetic hardwiring that cant be cured, with your passion for helping autism you might get amazing things done if you look outside the small box of blaming vaccination.
im terrified of childhood diseases. My grandfather lost 2 brothers to them . My mother in law is an anti-vaccine's person, and even after losing a son (not my husband but another son) to a childhood disease, seeing all the children of polio graves, not to mention the influx of families from 3rd world countries, plus living in a tourist town where people come from all over the world and who knows what the are carrying with them from their home countries, im all for vaccination.
Maybe get involved in research, or activism for research, or fundraising campaigns.
And yes Jenny McCarthy wa a drug user. Dont know about whilst pregnant, but yeah. She hosted a retarded mtv dating show in wich she basically just prances around acring like a meth head and making bizarre faces, and posed for a few nudie mags until Carmen Electra replaced her. dont take her a s word of gospel.
Bless your precious son Linda , i know he is precious and your beloved child, sorry if i came off callous. | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 12:49:43 AM | Linda, despite our differing opinions on vaccines causing autism, i admire your devotion to your little son. I wish you and him many blessings and to walk a path of love and blessings.
I know you love him with all your soul and being, and again i dont mean to come off as un-empathetic to what you and what he has gone through, give the darling boy a hug for me. | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 1:29:35 AM | my passion is why my son is doing well . my family cannot believe the changes in my son . sweetness we need vaccines . i have never ever told a mother not to vaccinate polio yes my own auntie violet was a small pox survivor . her whole body was covered in holes from this terrible disease . she died a few yrs back but wat a women . never once did she ever let the taunts get to her . she was disfigured but her inner beauty shone . you have to remember hunny these horrible disease all thrieved during poverty and war times . the streets were dirty bad sewerage , mercury is a toxin history is full of what it can do it has no place in a childs vaccine . theres other chemicals in other vaccines causing untold misery as well sodium borat .(rodant killer ) I no the vaccine companys stance the needs of the many outway the needs of the few or the one , but maybe they should go into a creach full to the brim of these poor little darlings . the big dark circles under there eyes listen to there storys . stop hideing from wat is the reality . there nappies there mothers never did this (mercury ) did . as alergys increase in our kids . we have to use wat we have to end this debate for once . my son was visualy watched and diagnosed . his serious bowel isues were ignored his black circles under his eyes . all i want is for a nown neurotoxin to be removed from vaccines . sweetness hunny this isnt a big ask money is being put b4 childrens lifes . my life is spent trying my best to help our autistic angels . but we need every single child to have bloods urine and hair analasis done . then we need the life long work of a brilliant man professor bernard rimland to be put in to place . let these kids get there sweet little voices back . i waited yrs to hear the words mummy again . i actully never thought i would . it was more precious to me than winning the lottery .. i cryed for days ,, Genetic link is alergys and low imune responce . . yes doctors are starting to wake up . now thank god your kids have not been affected . but if we dont get this sorted now your future grandchildren could be . Iwont ever stop fightening for the thousands of inoccents who are alive suffering . we need to stop and look and let there little lights shine . sweetness my son is a bright light shinning in my heart . all i want is thirmosal to be removed (mercury) god bless your family sweetness . i can understand why your afraid you have suffered the most terrible loss . you want your kids safe . i want that 2 . .. Autism is a neurodevelopmental syndrome characterized by impairments in social relatedness, language, and communication, a need for routine and sameness, abnormal movements, and sensory dysfunction. Mercury is a toxic metal that can exist as a pure element or in a variety of inorganic and organic forms and can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and other behavioral dysfunctions.
The characteristics of autism and mercury poisoning, derived from a review of medical literature, have been found, upon comparison, to be strikingly similar. The characteristics of both disorders are summarized in the following table and fully elucidated in the body of this document. The parallels between the two diseases are so close that it would be unreasonable to assume that the similarities occur by chance.
We claim that autism is a form of mercury poisoning, based on similarities of characteristics and on the known exposure to mercury of the majority of US children. The exposure route is childhood vaccines, most of which contain thimerosal, a preservative comprised of 50% ethylmercury by weight. The amount of mercury a typical child under two years receives from vaccinations equates to 237.5 micrograms, or 3.53 x 1017 molecules (353,000,000,000,000,000 molecules), most of which is not excreted and goes directly to the brain. The amount is known to exceed Federal safety standards, but is still considered a “low” level, such that only a small percentage of exposed individuals will exhibit signs of toxicity. Affected individuals are those genetically prone to mercury sensitivity, which is consistent with the observed high heritability rate of autism. Furthermore, the timing of mercury exposure via vaccines coincides with the emergence of autistic symptoms. Moreover, mercury has been detected in urine, hair, and blood samples from autistic children, and parental reports, though limited at this date, indicate significant improvement in symptoms with administration of standard heavy metal chelators. Thus, the four agreed-upon criteria used by clinicians to diagnose mercury poisoning – i.e., observable symptoms, known exposure at the time of symptom onset, detectable levels in biologic samples, and improvement with chelation - have been met for autism.
The phenotypic expression of mercury poisoning varies by a host of factors – including type of mercury given, method of administration, rate and level of dose, individual genotype, and age of patient – so that each variation in factors has created in the past a slightly different manifestation of the disease – Mad Hatter’s disease, Minamata disease, and acrodynia, for example. The pathology arising from the set of mercury-related variables involved in autism – intermittent bolus doses of ethylmercury injected into genetically susceptible infants and toddlers – has never been reported before in medical literature. Thus we argue that autism represents a unique form of mercury poisoning not heretofore described. Our findings have widespread implications for the affected population of autistic individuals, for other unexplained disorders with symptoms similar to heavy metal intoxication, and for childhood vaccination programs.
ok every top symptom is mercury directly below autism

time for goverments to tell the truth and stop making out the parents are of there heads . its the same thing autism mercury poisen. My son can read very well he will read your above post and i will tell him it the hug comes all the way from a diffrent country . he will smile like nothing on earth .. I have one thing a diagnoses wrote on paper saying classical autism no treatment no cure . so have loads and loads of me friends ive met . now some day soon we will be back to ask why our kids are no longer classicaly autistic . why treatments have worked . this is going on all over the world . the familys are feed up with the lies . we are getting the proof . look up you tube autism recovery . news is spreading fast . my son will have a normal life . he has a few yrs to make up but my skills in childcare will sort that easy , things happen for a reason sweetness we dont always no why . the tears i cryed when he used to just lie there not respond to me . the pain in my hearrt was heavy . my doctor and all experts that delt with my son cant believe the changes , they actully dont no why wat ive did has worked . but i do wrong diagnoses . Ilook fallward to watching my son grow up . maybe one day have a family ,, yes i believe he will . he will forget the yrs he was lost in another world . his family wont . one person can make a difference i couldnt watch another women and family suffer the pain mine felt . i have to help . but i would never take a single penny , why the love for our little autistic angels . who dont no how to hug yet there traped . just makes me want to help another mum hear her kids sweet little voice get a hug . ... seeing a mothers face as her child gets well the disbelief is worth more than gold . massive companys put profits b4 our kids ..... kids are our future love them cherish them . | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 7:59:44 AM | Linda, i commend your passion and devotion to your children and the helpless children of the world. With a science backround myself, i'd like to put forward a few points.
Thimerosal wasn't used to increase shelf life originally, it was used because MANY children in the 30's were receiving doses of the vaccinnes with LIVE virus, actually infecting them. Thimerosal even in very small doses (around 25 micrograms per dose) killed any pathogen. It was to PREVENT illness with early vaccines.
Almost all of the studies you are referring to study the effects of METHYL mercury on the nervous system of infants, when thimerosal metabolizes to ethyl mercury, a VERY different compound. Conclusive evidence on the effects of ethyl mercury on infants isn't really available yet.
In 2004 the IOM reviewed the data on thimerosal from 4 different countries and wouldn't even subscribe to a CASUAL relationship to the use of thimerosal as a preservative and autuism.
While i think we release vaccines too quickly (h1n1 is a great example) and we should remove heavy metals from anything we can. It is FAR more likely that the experience of autism in children was actually caused by environmental factors in utero ingensted by the mother. Methyl mercury exists naturally in soil, water and food.
I wish you and your family the best of luck. | |

"And yes Jenny McCarthy wa a drug user. "
The biological treatment methods recommended by Jenny McCarthy's physician for Autism do work. My son is much older than hers, and parents of children with Autism have been using some of these ideas and treatments for many years. I started doing many of them ten years ago with my Autistic son, who is now much better, although these things are not a cure. The fact that they worked makes me think that there are a large amount of Autistic children who are sick, not permanently mentally ill, as some people would like you to think. A sickness is treatable.
But if you think that you can ignore Jenny McCarthy because she appears to be a drug user, that is just blaming the parents for everything. And that is pretty convenient for people who are trying to avoid liability for the products they are making a lot of money off of.
Autism runs in families, and so there is a genetic component. However, the previous generation often has much milder symptoms. Each generation gets worse, and this might be the result of each generation getting more and more vaccines to stimulate their immune systems and cause further problems. This could be one reason why the MMR is often the vaccination that causes the Autistic regression in most children. It might not be the MMR itself, (although there is research evidence that shows that one of the parts is definitely a problem.) It might be that the MMR comes after a critical number of previous vaccines that changes the immune system in genetically suseptible children, causing it to become dysregulated.
Because there is a tendency toward Autism in families, it is possible that the "symptoms of drug use" that you are seeing in Jenny McCarthy are really the personality traits common to those families, some of which may look like drug use to you. There is a milder form of Autism called Asperger's Syndrome that has the traits you mentioned, the hyperactivity, and social boundary issues. In her latest book, she describes getting some of the same treatments her son is getting and that they help her to feel better, too. She describes having some GI issues and other things that are secondary biological symptoms to Autism.
Jenny McCarthy didn't invent these biological treatments for Autism. They have been developed over the years, sometimes by trial and error, by both parents and Doctors, and were in use many years before her son was even born. It is sad that many parents weren't aware of biological treatments for Autism and so their children did not benefit from being able to try them to see if they would work for their child. I am glad that Jenny McCarthy is trying to at least get the word out that there is more that you can do for your Autistic child than rehabilitation therapy, psychoactive drugs, and babysitting them in programs that only manage their behavior and do nothing to treat their possible illnesses.
Behavior modification techniques do work, and my son needed a lot of that kind of therapy. But it is much easier to work with a brain that is healing than with a child who is in a lot of physical distress. | |

Mercury is always a toxin no matter what form it is in. Would you willingly take anything with either type of Mercury if you didn't think you "had" to?
If you knew that a food you were about to eat had methyl mercury in it, would you eat it? And if you would, at what dose would you consider it not to be safe anymore? How many times would you continue to eat the food that had methyl mercury? Up to the 30 times that we inject it into babies?
Mercury is a poison. Mercury is as toxic a poison as Arsenic. There is no safe level of Mercury in the human body. There is no safe level of Mercury of any form for any living thing. Mercury kills things. That is what it is used for. If it can kill viruses, it can kill human cells. And it does a pretty good job of that. As you say, the Thimerosal killed the virus at very small amounts. Even very tiny amounts of Mercury can cause a lot of damage.
As you say, there is no evidence on the effects of mercury on infants because it is unethical to do this kind of research on human infants. But there is evidence on the effects on monkey infants. And mercury is always toxic.
An infant's liver is not fully developed until age 3. Before that, the infant's liver has a very limited ability to remove poisons from the infant's body. And so the Mercury stays there, and can re-damage more tissue, over and over again until the liver matures. And some children have metabolic differences that keep their livers from getting rid of the Mercury as efficiently as other children. These are the children we should be extra-careful with and they should be screened for this, and never be given Mercury in any form whatsoever.
This is true for any heavy metal toxin, including lead, arsenic, aluminum, and cadmium, all of which are being used to kill molds and viruses in many manufactured products that children come into contact with today, even though there are often safer alternatives available. These exposures are cumulative, and contribute to the child's total body burden of toxins that their livers have to deal with. | |

"MANY children in the 30's were receiving doses of the vaccinnes with LIVE virus, actually infecting them."
Researchers have discovered live Measles virus in the intestinal tracts of children with Autism, when they biopsied them. My own son was found to have lesions in his stomach when he had a GI study. They were not ulcers.
It is possible that there are two problems with vaccines, one, that they have Mercury and aluminum in them. And the other, that not all the virus gets killed some of the time, for whatever reason, and the child develops the disease as well as developing an auto-immune disorder, with one of the symptoms being Autism.
It is possible to get the disease you are being vaccinated for. I developed Rubella from a vaccination myself. It is possible that this combination caused my son's problems -- my immune response, combined with my disease history, plus my son's immune response and disease history, but both were initially triggered BY A VACCINE.
These vaccines could be made safer. This is the point. We need to not just have a one-size-fits-all approach to vaccination. There are many strategies being proposed to make vaccinations safer, but none of them will be either researched well enough, nor implemented if people continue to deny the results that parents of injured children see. If we continue to hide the problems, or minimize them, just out of fear, or out of fear of causing fear, then the research will be delayed, or set aside for "more pressing problems," and more children will be permanently hurt.
And when children are hurt with Autism, it affects the entire family, treatment is expensive, and the outcomes are generally not good without a comprehensive approach that includes both behavioral and biological treatments. | |

"Notice they use the term Autism now?
Notice that there is suddenly no "retards" in our society.
They simply exchanged 1 term for the other to be politically correct, because people didnt want their kids being classified as retards!"
Autism is something completely different than retarded ever was. I have a friend who has been a Special Education Teacher for 28 years. She said that she has never seen kids like this before. She had heard about something called "Autism" and was curious about it, but until 1990, had never seen one. They were considered oddities in the Psychiatric world, and Special Educators hardly ever saw a single Autistic child. They could tell the difference. Retardation is now called "Developmentally Delayed."
The official Psychiatric, (Medical) term before that was "Idiot." Until everyone (like you) who didn't have Developmentally Delayed children started using the term as an insult.
Luckily, saying "Developmentally Delayed" is a bit harder to yell at someone you are trying to insult.
"...then they are welcome to kill their own children but not mine.
Be responsible people vacinate your damn kids and keep them safe, if they are autistic they are autistic."
Choosing not to vaccinate a child is not the same as killing them.
It is blaming the parents for a problem with the vaccine product.
Parents should have a safer way to "not kill their children." And saying that anyone who doesn't vaccinate their child out of concern for their long-term well-being, and because the vaccination has serious side-effects is a murderer, is prejudiced.
An Autistic child was not being kept safe, if they developed Autism directly after being vaccinated. We are not protecting children who become Autistic from whatever causes Autism. This is the problem.
Just because it didn't happen to your child, doesn't mean you are keeping your children safer, and others are being careless and inconsiderate. | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 12:10:12 PM | | when you de tox the children their mercury levels are extremely high. remember mercury has an accumalitive effect. the fetus in the womb is exposed before birth to any mercury the mother has. remember amalgam fillings are mercury based. these children are not able to eliminate the mercury themselves. hence why the same symptoms appear, mercury poison, autism the same thing. you treat these children you get great results, because of the lies the pharmacutical companies spin loads of children are suffering. | |

yes it was added to vaccines in the late 30s .. the reason isnt the issue . would you injest mercury . would you in even the smallest dose give it to your kids . even the tinest amount . your science background would tell you no its poisen .when did mr krammer discover a brand new condition never seen b4 . 1942 . Its been damaging us for generations . the familys that are affected now the mothers did not manage to elimanate the mercury they were exposed to .Ihave dyxlexia nothing at all rong with my intellagance . i also have fillings in my teeth . my baby yes ctu agent was exposed to my toxic load . funny thing is you see nothing if you tst for mercury (urine test )but my god when you use a challate product to detox levels are extremly hi . how can this be . test familys b4 you stik more toxins in them . my baby was born already with a heavy toxic burden . my family do not elimanate mercury .. we all have alergys . in my generation . our kids have worse alergys . yes the genetic link is the imune system ... ...but its now pot luck who this hits as there is so many vaccines . so many people have alergys ................. again big pacific would you give a new born baby a small amount of mercury the doesnt matter ethel methel . would you give a tiny precious newborn that was your own child the smallest amount ............................................. no yoyu would not .... it should carry a goverment health warning the misery it has caused in history . but no we allow them to inject it into new born infants ................................................ one day the truth will come out and this will be the biggest blunder ever nown to man . dont study science look at history (pink disease minamata disaster mad hatters disease ... look at my above chart autism mercury poisen have the same symtoms ..... if we dont stop it now its 1 in 98 kids being affected . alshymers dementia are drastically riseing . could this be there wonderfull flu jabs ... there going to turn us into zombies . autism untreated is like a living death . with allk the skills that make us humans gone . they frighten people into feeling they need vaccinations ... the h1n1 case is so scarry . our papers reported community centres and all local places like libarys would be used as temprory morgues . this was to cause mass hysteria so we would line up like guinepigs to make the gready money thirsty ....... pharmacutical companys there billions . and all the big govermental names have shares .why dont our kids get mercury free vaccines there for the wealthy . ...why do they lie say its out the vaccines and it isnt its still in there but in an amount they dont have to list ...........................................people running our countrys should not have shares in these multi billion pound industries ...........................................Im from glasgow born and bread .. there was a terrorist attack here it was all over the world that the men here never ran away they faced the terrorist and kicked them to the ground saving thousands .. ...............................

My son is everything to me . ............. but looking for answers for him has made me sick . you dont hear about average joes child having fits after a vaccine and dieing .... or averages joes baby loseing all its skills . no its not reported . why mr wealthy is one step ahead with his money thirsty greedy wallet ....................................................... but he also has the lifes of thousands apon thousands of kids whos lifes have been destroyed . those forgotten souls of autism . that there familys couldnt cope sitting in care . ................ the isue here is all money ............................................................... how much should a human life be worth ..................................................... priceless and its the inoccent thats being harmed ................................. do your reaserch people future generations need you to ......................................vitimin d3 can help us beat flu why oh why dont they give it to the elderly as d3 comes from the sun these viruses thrive in cold weather when we havent had enouth sunlight UCLA scientists published a paper in the journal Nature, showing that Vitamin D is potent antibiotic. Instead of directly killing bacteria and viruses, it increases the body's production of aantimicrobial peptides. The 200 known antimicrobial peptides directly and rapidly destroy the cell walls of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including the influenza virus, and play a key role in keeping the lungs free of infection. The steroid hormone that showed these remarkable antibiotic properties was plain old vitamin D. High dosages, such as 2,000 Units have been shown to be effective against the flu.

Posted: 11/5/2009 2:21:51 AM | Big Pacific makes an excellent point - most people confuse ethyl and methyl mercury, apparently thinking that they are the same thing and have the same effects. They're not and they don't. Ethyl mercury is quickly metabolised and excreted by the body, whereas methyl mercury is bioaccumulative, that is, it builds up in the body and may cause harm.
I think what people struggle with is the idea of safety and dosage, the word 'toxin' means nothing, things are only 'toxic' when they go above a certain dosage or are administered by a certain route; for example one litre of water is not 'toxic' - unless you inhale it in which case it may be fatal - but recently a woman taking part in a radio contest sadly died from 'water intoxication' after drinking too large a quantity. This does not mean water is 'toxic' or a 'toxin'. It means, that like anything else, dosage is key. I see aluminium listed as a 'toxin' in someone's post, aluminium is present in breast and formula milk as well as drinking water, it's not a toxic substance unless it's ingested in very large quantities.
There's no good evidence of ethyl mercury toxicity on monkeys, the study that Linda linked to earlier doesn't stand up to even the most cursory non-scientific evaluation; the sample sizes are too small (3 controls/13 pps), the samples were assigned 'semi random[ly]' or in other words, non randomly, both authors have conflicts of interest and one author failed to disclose this on publishing, thimerosal was added to a vaccine that doesn't contain thimerosal, the results show nothing statistically significant, the reflexes that were tested for do not develop in human babies in the way they do in monkeys, the reflexes that were tested for are not important in autism, etc etc.
Mercury poisoning symptoms, from Medline;
Numbness or pain in certain parts of your skin
Uncontrollable shake or tremor
Inability to walk well
Blindness and double vision
Memory problems
Seizures and death (with large exposures)

Posted: 11/5/2009 3:59:04 AM | | ok numbness or pain in certain parts of skin . cant ask my son as he couldnt speak but i wonder why he hated being touched i wonder why the kids hate wearing clothing , uncontrollable shakes and tremours my son rocked from side to side constantly shaking his little hands in front his face . inability to walk well . yes my son would just walk into things and fall for no reason . blindness double vision . god only nows wat my son was seeing but he never looked at me and would view things holding his hands over his face or side on he never looked at anything the way we do . memory problems cant tell how he was affected as he could not talk he was in his own world seizures loads my friends kids with autism take seizures constantly one of my friends little boy passed away during a seizure he was 5 . so i sujest they get there needles out and start testing or kids for mercury poisen .... or go to any support group that has a creach and view all the above symptoms in one room fill to the brim of these children... i no some parents do not like to post due to the fact this is a dateing sight and do not like there bizzness being disclosed online ..... please parents list your childs symptoms . you have the charts for mercury poisen and autism above ... ..............................yes it is easy metabolized in most people . there is a growing number of people who now no they cant its still in there bodys we aint all the same . | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 4:20:19 AM | You are attempting to make the symptoms fit the criteria when they clearly don't.
Numbness in the skin would not cause sensory irritation when touched or wearing clothing - in fact, it would reduce it.
Uncontrollable shakes and rocking purposefully are two entirely different things, one is uncontrollable, the other is controlled and can be stopped.
Inability to walk well is not the same as motor clumsiness.
You have no evidence to suggest that your son had 'blindness', otherwise why would he cover his eyes? If he's had an eye test then the opthamologist would have tested him for double vision, this is a non verbal test (it's the one where the child is shown slides with objects 'jumping' out, if the child will points to or grasps at the jumping object it shows he sees it normally).
I'm confused that you don't have any idea of your son's memory capacity, he must sort objects, recite things, play games, go to find things in the home or elsewhere, go to places etc - does he show memory skills when performing familiar tasks? Many autistic children have amazing memory skills even when they are otherwise developmentally delayed.
Seizures are not an autistic symptom, some children with autism have them, most don't. | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 1:07:46 PM | The vaccine connection is one of circumstantial evidence and as pointed out, the link does not seem to fit the traits.
On the other hand, the use of other substances in society has increased along with the autism diagnosis. As an example: propylene glycol. It is used a wide variety of substances including hand creams and airplane deicer as well as medicines and various foods. In hand creams, it acts as a transfer agent enabling better transfer of moisturizers through the skin. Taking a look at various biological treatments for autism that have shown promise, it would seem it is a digestive defect and begins with toddlers. At that age, children are being introduced to dairy and grain products. The dairy protein casein when partially broken down has 19 known opiate molecules. Gluten from wheat, oats, barley, and rye products can produce 23 opiate compounds. In this early age, children are also developing the parts of the brain that process our senses and language. Consider that a developing digestive system is breaking down casein and gluten molecules producing a variety of opiates while subjected to a substance know to enhance transfer into the blood stream just when the brain is developing its ability to process the senses and language. The predictable damage would be what we call autism. Other cognitive parts of the brain develop later after the digestive system is stronger and less propylene glycol is used often leaving those parts intact.
If you wish to find propylene glycol, simply look at labels on hypoallergenic hand lotions, baby wipes, baby shampoo, soft plastic toys.......................
The FDA says it is inert but if it is inert, why do so many products pay the cost of putting it in their products? | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 1:40:02 PM | | Vaccines don't cause autism. Children who don't get vaccinations are just as likely to become autistic as children who do. But they also have to deal with polio and the whooping cough. It's abusive not to get your child vaccinated. | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 2:12:58 PM | | You are born with a brain. The brain forms connections and has different disconnections as you age. Check the age group of those that seem to have different functions, hmmm seems like it is at the same time period as an immunization, oh wait, remember the meat study and how meat grows bugs... Just as the meat doesn't grow bugs, immunizations do not cause autism. It is just a different functioning or wired brain. Check the studies of the size of the brains, autistic brains are larger. Evidence proves that immunizations do not cause children to become autistic and it is really stupid and uniformed to not realize what statistics and studies show. | |

I am not heartless, I have kids, and I love them more than anything. There is no area in which it is harder to disassociate personal experience.. but, it's not about money, it's about the greater good. Five kids with autism is more acceptable than 20 kids dead.
That having been said, research for autism is one cause I support, and I wish you well. (why isn't there a "hug" emoticon?!) | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 2:16:40 AM | At time of my sons regretion he could not play with toys . he never let anyone near him you couldnt touch him . he was a very very sick child . how could you test the memory of a child that just lay or stood spinning flapping his little hands . he would sit in a corner covering his little ears. the room had to be dark he couldnt bare light .there was no intrest in toys people nothing . ive worked with kids since i left school . he started school at 5 special needs school . that dealt with autism he was there 4 weeks and couldnt go back as his self harming was so bad . he was constantly eating his fingers till the blood was pouring from them .he went back to school just about a yr later . 3 teachers 2 very classically autistic boys . the changes in him after treating him are unbelievable . Ihave my son back i am suffacated with his hugs . I spend every moment of everyday trying to give him as much of those lost yrs back . I have been blessed with a beautifull grandaughter my daughter lives with me still with her husband . my son plays with his neice . he protects her . she picked a beetle up of the foor he seen her going to put it in her mouth ........... wat did he do he took it of her and said no amyjo thats dirty .... a tv show super nanny was on one night i had it on the tv . sitting there watching it this boy around 9 hits his mother . my son seen this and said , that is bad you do not hit your mummy . hes a bad boy . i said yes he is . i said would ian do that. he just said a loud no not allowed and i got the biggest hug . hes only 8 yrs old ..... .............my son regressed the very day of a vaccine not weeks that day . the day was no diffrent from any other . after that vaccine he was gone . the aftermath was living hell . It was like id lost my baby . my heart was broke my heart heavy in fact i ended up very poorly due to this . now remember he couldnt even go to school . till he was just about 6 . i was offered resbite as this was affecting me . i refused i would not let my son out my sight . i was terrifide of leaving him. .................................... now i read and read and the results of treatments are without doubt amazing . no one exept a parent that has went through this would get it . The past is now the past i can go out shoping with my angel hes asking for christmas gifts . wat he would like hes into the beetles . wants an i pod . .. How i can only describe it is his little light went out . and within a few days of treating him i seen it start to fliker . then get brighter and brighter . now its glowing like the brightest star in the sky . together hand in hand now we dont face a future of fear and whats it going to be like when hes a man . together side buy side we can smile and the pain of the past has did one thing only . made me realise how very very lucky i am to have this wonderfull child as my son . he wont just be a good man he will be a greatman ......................................... now there may be one mum out there that reads this post says my god thats my story msg me and just trys a few little things with her child and gets results . yes sometimes there is no improvment sometimes there a little improvment . but sometimes there a lot . ...... now explain to me why my sons light came back on .. ohwhynot they need to test the kids now that have after treatments came back find out why . my evidence is being put together but a lot needs to be removed from video as its on old tapes . Ilike other mums and dads will be posting it on you tube ... the evidence speaks for itself . at his worst it will shock people but then the happy ending and he will be seen playing with his neice . she adores him .I will be sending it out to everyone of importance asking them to explain why ... As i have the diagnoses and the recovery was not supposed to be possible ................ doesnt it make sence to test the kids whos parents are screaming ive got my child back .. so maybe we can get more these kids back asap ......................... sis in reply to this( I'm confused that you don't have any idea of your son's memory capacity, he must sort objects, recite things, play games, go to find things in the home or elsewhere, go to places etc - does he show memory skills when performing familiar tasks? Many autistic children have amazing memory skills even when they are otherwise developmentally delayed.)
he could not speak not even one word so how could he recite things sort objects no he sat all day flapping in a corner biteing his hands or flapping them. maybe your son could do these things mines could not .. but my son was ill very very ill .im a fully qualified childcare worker , he was totally in another planet ... no treatment helped him as it was witnessed after a few days a change | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 2:23:40 AM | My son used to spin things, flap, run in circles etc - now he talks, uses the internet and can read and write, he loves to be hugged.
He's had no treatment.
It's development you're seeing, not a 'recovery' - children change with time; a 3 year old isn't the same as a 10 year old whether they are autistic or not. Surely if you've worked with children you would realise this? | |

Wondering where the *bangs head against brick wall* smiley is yet? lol
It amazes me the stubborn mindedness of some people. They can't accept that they don't have all the answers to their problems (or in this case, those of their children). They don't want to accept that maybe, just maybe they could be part of the cause of the problem when it's SO much easier and more convenient to blame something that can't fight back (i.e. vaccines in this case).
My son has Autism, and i've never ONCE blamed him being vaccinated for it. I've researched the subject, talked to many specialists and looked into the various "cures" and therapies out there to help him. Thru research I discovered that a few family members display very similar traits and they were always just labeled "eccentric". I didn't whine and stomp my feet that it HAD TO BE caused by something else, I accepted that his condition could very well be hereditary and moved on to help him NOW. Dwelling on what I should have done/could have done differently doesn't improve anything for him NOW.
And I did NOT forego vaccinations for my daughter out of fear of her also "becoming" Autistic from them. I would rather have both of my children Autistic than see either of them suffer thru mumps or another vicious disease that could leave them potentially impaired for life.
My son is now 2nd in his class in "normal" classes at school. He has his problem areas, but even "normal" kids do! So my son is special, aren't they all? 
Let me also state that I have always selectively vaccinated and delayed them for both of my kids. I didn't see the need to overwhelm their lil bodies with 4-5 shots at once when we could do them one at a time over a few months. My kids will also NOT be getting the H1N1 vaccine as I don't believe it's been sufficiently studied and don't see the point in risking it.
And in response to a poster replying (rather rudely) to me earlier: No, I do NOT believe everything I am told ESPECIALLY by the government. My family is extremely military and most have done some form of hush-hush work during their enlisted days. I know the real ugly side of the government more than most. | |

Posted: 11/7/2009 10:46:35 AM | Yes other family members may show signs . this is because your family are vulnrable to the mercury . they were vaccinated as well . There isnt a genitic cause thats why they cant find it . the genitic link is a vulnrability to vaccines . this generation has the symptoms worst the next one it will be worse , never ever believe wat goverments say and with your familys millitary background ask them why all the documantation on gulf war syndrom is locked up in volts . gulf war syndrom was real more lifes destroyed .....My story started in 1991, when I decided to return to the Air Force Reserve. I'd been stationed in the late 1970's in New York State, and had been involved as a flight nurse in the Air Force. I got out and was living my life, but then I heard that there was a war and that many of us were going to die without adequate care. So, I decided to back into the service of my country. I went back to Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio and volunteered to go to Saudi Arabia. As it was, I didn't go to Saudi Arabia because the cease-fire came, so I served active duty missions on a C-130 aircraft for about six months. After that, I returned back to Houston to my job, where I was a heart, lung, kidney and liver transplant nurse in Houston, Texas. I became very ill and didn't know why I was sick.
So, I began the investigation myself to answer the question of why I was sick. I didn't even go to the Persian Gulf. They call it Persian Gulf disease. They do that for a reason, because then they can exclude all of us who are sick who didn't go to the Persian Gulf. The only thing I had in common with those who did go is that I had received the immunizations and that I had a lot of contact with Gulf War veterans who were returning to the states, and with other members of our unit. Little did we know at the time that the biologicals that were used were impregnated in the equipment they had, such as tents and duffel bags. It was being spread to all of us, and we didn't even know it. We were being told a lie. America, I am sorry to tell you that we have been told one of the biggest lies this country has ever perpetrated upon us. They are telling us there is no Gulf War disease. They are telling us biologicals were not used. They are not even telling you that between 10,000 to 12,000 Gulf war vets have already died.
I began my investigation and went into depression the day I realized we had been lied to. I had been involved with President Bush and with the White House, because I had been involved in organ transplantation. I wrote a letter and called the White House and invited him to come to Houston with Dr. Cooley to sign an organ donor card. President Bush told me at the time, "I appreciate what you are doing. If this had been available years ago, perhaps my daughter Robin might not have died." Well, little did I know that, during that same time, the poisons that were eventually going to kill us were being made.
The basic fact is that biological agents were used on our troops. Chemical agents were used on our troops. Germ warfare was used on our troops -- using biologicals that were made in the United States of America. It was made in Houston, Texas and Boca Raton, Florida. It was passed through the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and through companies such as American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) in Maryland. It was passed to Saddam Hussein -- sold to Saddam Hussein, as late as 1989, just prior to the war. The American government was involved in the provision of biological warfare (components) to Saddam Hussein. They knew exactly what they were doing. Our troops did not know what to expect, nor were they protected. We later found out that we had no adequate biological/chemical detection capability. The lies are going on and on. I released the story on my radio show on May 4, 1995 with Drs. Garth and Nancy Nicholson. We had security in the studio because I had made the mistake of sending out some news releases in advance. I was afraid that we would be stopped from doing the program. We had someone there to argue a temporary restraining order, if necessary. But, we didn't need it. Drs. Garth and Nancy Nicholson named names, places and times. The sad part is that it is real. When I heard them naming names and places, I thought, "Oh, my word. I'm going to have ten lawyers on my door tomorrow."
No one showed up. No one has come to me and said, "You shouldn't be saying this." They don't want to fight me in court. They know its true. So, what I am going to show you tonight is absolute evidence of the saddest story in American history.
I am going to start with a letter written to me from a young man in Wichita, Kansas. It begins, "Please forgive me for not writing sooner. I have been out of town on the job. My only hope is to reach other vets and the public to let them know it is true and many of us are dying from this illness. I will not give up until we are recognized and taken care of by our government, who continues to blackball us on this endless journey." That is one Gulf War veteran who understands, and I have received so many phone calls it has been impossible to return them.
Let's go back in time and look at a little history. I am going to show you a lot of information that is incredibly important. You must understand that America has been doing this for a long period of time. It has been experimenting on both civilians and military members.
(Slide Shown) This is a 1970 article that appeared in a newspaper in Maryland: "Research volunteers. Volunteers needed for 30 day in-patient vaccine safety tests. Very pleasant environment. Pay $20 per day. Call the University of Maryland." One lady did call that number and was involved in those tests. She is very ill today. They experimented on her. That was not the first time that experimentation was done.
(Slide Shown) This is another article that appeared: "University of Maryland may have tested drugs for the CIA." How many of you are familiar with MKULTRA? It involved the experimental use of LSD on the public without their knowledge. I'll read a little more of this article. "The Central Intelligence Agency has notified the University of Maryland that the school may have been involved in so-called mind-bending tests and drug experiments sponsored by the agency between 1953 and 1964. The University is about one of eighty institutions that conducted experiments under a program code-named MKULTRA." It goes on to identify where the tests were done, and states that they are now going to protect all the researchers involved with the program. They want to provide the researchers with confidentiality. However, those that were experimented upon do not even know they were involved in a test. "Critics disclose that human subjects did not know what they were getting either before or after the tests, and both the Army and the institutions involved said they did not follow up on the personnel." Now, I want you to notice here that the people involved in this were 44 colleges, 15 research foundations or chemical companies, 12 hospitals and three prisons. Now, we are going to go into prisons in just a few minutes as far as how it was tested on the prisoners.
(Slide Shown) Another document that I want you to remember as long as you live is this. I believe it to be the origin of the appropriation of the money to make the AIDS virus. This is the appropriations hearing for 1970 for the Department of Defense. It is House Bill 15090. I want you to see that the Department of Defense appropriated $10 million in 1970 to make a synthetic biological agent. Ask yourself why the Department of Defense needs this kind of agent. There are two things about the field of biological agents I would like to mention. One is the possibility of technological surprise. The document says, "We believe that within a period of five to ten years, it would be possible to produce a synthetic biological agent that does not naturally exist and for which no natural immunity could have been acquired." What does that sound like to you? It goes on to say, "Within the next five to ten years, it would probably be possible to make a new ineffective microorganism which could be different in certain important aspects from any known disease-causing organism. Most importantly, it might be damaging to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease." Basically this says it will destroy the immune system. This was appropriated in 1970. In 1975 the first recorded AIDS-related death occurred. Perfect timing. It continues, "A research program to explore feasibility could be completed in approximately five years at a cost of $10 million." Now, look at this part down here, which says, "It is a highly controversial issue, and there are many who believe such research should not be undertaken, lest it lead to yet another method of mass killing of large populations." That is in your government documentation. Now, getting involved with killing of large numbers of people is not what a government is for. I want you to get this document. Get this House Bill 15090.
What is the US Government saying about the Gulf War? This is an 1996 article from Time Magazine that says, "No Gas Used Against the Troops." What is the government propaganda saying? They are saying "There is no scientific or medical evidence that chemical or biological weapons were deployed at any level against us." That is an absolute lie. I will show you proof that they knew that chemical and biological agents were used. After my radio show, an article came out in the Houston Chronicle which said, "Gulf War Syndrome Doesn't Exist." Now, here we have a documented number of Gulf War veterans that have already died, and the media said that there is no Gulf War illness. There is something really wrong. Now, you didn't hear much about the Gulf War illness for about four years, until the Nicholsons went forward with this information. Here is another article from the Washington Times, "Pentagon Says There Is No Gulf War Disease." That article also came out shortly after we went on the air. The Los Angeles Times: "Government Study of Veterans Finds No Evidence of Gulf War Disease."
Now, let's look at the documentation from the Persian Gulf Veterans Coordinating Board, which is nothing but cover-up information. They are not telling the veterans the truth. They told us that they contacted every one of us to see if we were sick. No one contacted us. I have not heard of any person being contacted. But, a million men and women went to the Gulf.
A million Gulf War vets went, and a million of them have the potential of being sick. I will tell you a little bit why later. By their own admission, some 697,000 active duty service members and some 180,000 national guard went to the Gulf. What they say now is that 489,000 of them have since separated from the military. Now, ask yourself why in an all-volunteer force, after a war, would 50% of the individuals involved get out of the military? It is not a statistic that even makes sense. One out every two have gotten out of the military since Desert Storm? I wonder why. Possibly because they had to, because they were sick and were forced out. This is another figure that scares me. To date, the VA reports that more than 489,400 Gulf War veterans have received medical care in VA facilities. One out of every two. Ask yourself why. You don't go to the VA unless you have no where else to go.
This is an item that came out from Chief of Staff Shalikashvilli and Secretary William Perry. This letter came out May 24, 1994. It says, "There have been reports in the press of the possibility that some of you were exposed to biological weapons agents. There is no information, classified or unclassified, that indicates that chemical or biological weapons were used in the Persian Gulf. There have also been reports that some veterans believe there are restrictions on what they can say about potential exposures. Anybody attached to CBW units needs to know that they are free to speak now. You should not feel constrained to discuss these issues." The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense say there were no chemical or biological weapons used. In fact, there is plenty of evidence. It has already been presented on the floor of the Senate, and I am going to show it to you.
I was approached at one point by someone who led me to Drs. Garth and Nancy Nicholson, who are heroes in my mind. They are both Ph.D. scientists at the M.D.Anderson Cancer Center. Their daughter was in the 101st Airborne that did deep insertions into Iraq. Many of the 101st Airborne have called me, and many of them are sick. The 82nd Airborne is sick. Men and women at Fort Hood, Texas are sick. Camp Pendleton. Camp LeJeune. Fort Riley is really sick right now. These people are not allowed to talk about this in the military. They are not allowed to tell people about the Gulf War Illness. They are not allowed to admit to it. I have even visited Gulf War vets at Brook Army Medical Hospital, and they are not even allowed to talk about it. I took some Gulf War information over there, and the patients had to hide it so the doctors would not see it. So, the Nicholsons' daughter came back from Iraq sick. She gave the disease to the family -- to Garth and Nancy, who live in Houston, and also to the family cat. The cat died. Before the cat died, they tested all of their blood. They found that they were positive for something called Mycoplasma incognitas, which is the chief biological agent we find to be responsible for a lot of the illness of the veterans.
I will explain this to you by saying that Mycoplasma incognitas is between the size of a bacteria and a virus. It travels through a population, and as long as your immune system is all right, it will not affect you. But, according to the Nicholsons, who are both Ph.D. cellular biologists, they found that the scientists who were involved in this horrible plot inserted 40% of the HIV envelope gene into the Mycoplasma. What this means is that it doesn't give you HIV, but it gives you the symptoms. So, they found this and realized that they had a germ warfare agent on their hands. It is the first biological agent identified. There have been others.
The Nicholsons went to the laboratory to discover how to treat this. They found that an antibiotic called Doxycycline was the most effective. The US military will not allow military members under their control to have Doxycycline or VA hospitals to dispense Doxycycline. They are simply not allowed to have it. I got a call from a Special Forces commander who had been retired for one year. He said, "I have had it. I came home. I served my country. I got my blood sent to Dr. Nicholson for free testing and got my prescription for Doxycycline. I went to have it filled, and not only did that take away my military ID card, but they would not allow me to have the Doxycycline to save my life."
You see, the disease is contagious, and now the wives and children are getting it. It is going to affect you in the general population. That is why it is so important to understand how serious this is. It is not just the United States. It is a worldwide program. There were 28 countries that served with the United States in Iraq. All 28 countries now report that their men and women are also sick. But Drs. Nicholson revealed that a Houston company was involved in the manufacture of a biological weapon that was sold to Iraq and was used on American soldiers in the Gulf War. Since we came out with the names of these companies, there have been lawsuits filed against those corporations.
These are the symptoms of the syndrome. If you look at aching joints and go to your doctor and say, "I have aching joints," or you say, "I have chronic fatigue," or "I don't have the memory I used to," they will not say anything. When I am talking about memory loss, I am talking about the kind where you have to wear a beeper so your family can find you. One young man told me, "I can only remember today. I can't remember what happened yesterday." He was 27 years old. We are talking about a problem known as night sweats. Any Gulf War veteran who has the Mycoplasma knows about night sweats. You have to change your linens twice a night. The muscle spasms get so bad that you can't stand it, and people scream in pain. There is also loss of eyesight, breathing problems, and chest pains because the Mycoplasma settles in the atrium of the heart. All of these are problems that worsen.
The problem is that the government is telling the people of the United States, "There is no Gulf War Illness." The doctors in this country think there is no Gulf War Illness. So, when people come in and complain about the symptoms, they are turned aside and told that the problem is psychological in nature.
You are not being told about the babies that are being born deformed. There is a Gulf War Baby Foundation formed to register babies who have contracted the syndrome. You are not being told about this. Dan Rather doesn't tell you about it, does he? No. And so, you think that, if it isn't on the nightly news, it must not be true, right? If a tree falls in the forest and Dan Rather doesn't cover it, does it still make a noise? Think about it.
Gulf War babies are severely deformed. In fact, according to Nation Magazine, "Studies have shown that 67% of babies born to Gulf War veterans are deformed. What have they done to our future generations? What have they done to their DNA?
There was an article that appeared in Life magazine in November 1995 featuring a man in the 82nd Airborne at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. This young man has a child with no arms and no legs. I know of a nurse in San Antonio who knows of 50 children like this. When our soldiers risked their lives in the Gulf, they never imagined that their children would face these consequences or that their country would turn its back on them. You are hearing what perhaps 1% of the country knows today. It will take your help to get this story out. There is no way these parents can afford to take care of these children. (Shows pictures of children).
This is something that the government is trying to keep you from knowing about. The Reigle report is evidence that biological and chemical weapons were used on our troops. It was presented to the United States Senate, but it has been withheld from you. They don't want you to see it. A news release went out that Senator Reigle from Michigan was a brave man for doing this. He is no longer in the Senate. He had to pay for the report to be done. The Feb 1994 news release said, "Reigle Uncovers US Shipment of Biological Warfare Materials to Iraq Prior to Gulf War." The release went on to say, "There is evidence of transmission to family members. I am deeply troubled that the United States permitted the sale of deadly biological agents to a country with a known biological warfare program." There is no blood ban stopping Gulf War veterans from donating blood to the general blood supply that the general population uses. Reigle also sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Perry on Feb 9, 1994 and talked about the exposure of Gulf War veterans and the transmission of the disease to spouses and children. He found out that we had been exporting these biological substances through ATCC. This information is known to every Senator who was in office in 1994. Why aren't they doing something about it? Why weren't you told about it? Reigle also said to Secretary Perry, "Without proper treatment and testing, their condition will worsen. They cannot wait. Many are now destitute, with their savings spent on medical care not provided by the government."
According to Senator Reigle, "The Department of Defense refuses to acknowledge any part of the problem. Their blanket denials are not credible. To my mind, there is no more serious crime than an official military cover-up of facts that could prevent more effective diagnosis and treatment of sick US veterans. It is an astonishing example that the Defense Department is going to deny reality."
(Slide Shown) Here is how we know that biologicals were used. What I am showing you was once a classified document. It is part of the Chemical-Biological log that belonged to General Norman Schwartzkopf in CENTCOM. He was responsible for central command. The NBC log is sort of a road map of the war and what transpired. You can see here that it says, "Colonel Dunn has confirmed that the soldiers of the 3rd AD have blisters, characteristic of mustard chemical agent, on upper and lower arms." Remember the official statement? "No Biological or Chemical Weapons Used." The log continues, "ARCENT advised that casualty happened on afternoon of 28 Feb, a reddening of the skin and small blisters." I want you to know that I talked to several of the MEDIVAC flight nurses who accompanied the troops out of the theater of operations, and they told me that many of the men had no skin on them, that their skin was falling off --evidence of a chemical burn. So, this is known information. Some of the autopsies done at Dover, Delaware found that some of the deaths were due to chemical poisoning.
Schwartzkopf's NBC log continues, "MSgt Blue called. Subject: Commanders Guidance for Disposition of captured chemical and biological munitions." They had captured them, and they knew they existed. Continuing, "Field destruction is OK, but bulk destruction may have international implications." I have a number of these pages that were released under a FOIA request, and there are about 100 pages that were released to the Gulf War Veterans of Georgia.
(Slide Shown) Anybody who was in Desert Storm knows what these are -- The little "PB" pills, a pre-treatment pill for a nerve agent. In other words, if you were going to be affected by a nerve agent such as Soman, you would take this pill in advance, and it was supposed to help you. However, you should never take this unless you actually are affected, because it builds up in the body, and it creates many problems.
(Slide Shown) This is an article that came out of the Sunday Times in London. The BBC has been over here investigating this quite heavily because they have so many people in England that are sick from all of this. The Italian equivalent to 60 Minutes has been over here filming on the subject, because the Italian soldiers are sick also. It's country after country.
This is why I am scared about what is going on with the biological warfare. It hasn't stopped because Saddam Hussein still has these things. Reading the Sunday Times article, we see that "Russia has developed a powerful new poison with no antidote that could be used in biological weapons. It is a variation of the anthrax toxin that causes death within days. It has been genetically engineered to make it resistant to antibiotics. The toxin is so powerful that a tiny amount that would fit on a pinhead would theoretically kill 500,000 people."
Guess what happened to our veterans' medical files? They are destroyed. There was actually an attorney who was sent to prison for destroying veterans' medical files. Many of the medical files of Gulf War veterans are missing. No only are they missing, but now the proof that they received the vaccinations is now missing.
Let's talk about how we were affected on the biological side. The first way was with the immunizations. We were given 10 or 11 immunizations prior to going to the Gulf. The anthrax vaccinations were given over in the Gulf, and you were forced to submit to it. If you didn't take it, you were court-martialed. People were put into a room, the doors were locked, and they had security guards with side arms who stood by while people were forced to take this injection. Why? Why would they do this to people? The anthrax "vaccine" had not been approved and was experimental. The injection for botulism was also dangerous. All of these things in combination created a problem.
UPDATE
WASHINGTON (Reuter) - The Central Intelligence Agency said Wednesday it had solid intelligence in 1986 that Iraqi gas weapons were stored at a dump the Defense Department says was blown up in the 1991 Gulf War, possibly exposing up to 20,000 US troops to the gas.
A CIA official said the 1986 intelligence was only recently found; US troops were not told before the war of the possibility gas weapons were present. "We should have done better," the official said.
US Army engineers blew up the chemical dump in 1991. Robert Walpole, special CIA assistant for Gulf War illnesses, told a news conference that US intelligence intercepted a conversation among Iraqis a month later in which they said US troops had blown up an Iraqi weapons dump.
Walpole said UN and US officials dismissed Iraqi claims later that year that chemical weapons might have been at the Kamisiyah site as deception. But they might not have done so if they had known about the April 1991 intercept of the Iraqi conversation.
The Defense Department announced last summer, five years after the end of the Gulf War, that the demolition at Kamisiyah might have exposed up to 20,000 US troops to traces of Iraqi war gas. "I give that apology (to Gulf War veterans and their families)," Walpole said in response to a question. "We should have gotten that information out sooner."

Posted: 11/7/2009 11:01:00 AM | There isnt a genitic cause thats why they cant find it
Actually known genetic causes account for nearly all the autism that we *do* know the cause of - and we know the cause of around 40% - seeing as Rett Syndrome, Angelman's Syndrome, Fragile X and Tuberous Sclerosis are all specific, testable single gene deficits. All these conditions are on the autistic spectrum or lead to autistic spectrum disorders. | |

| vaccines=autism?????
Posted: 11/8/2009 2:24:27 AM | yes and they have found the gene to all these conditions ... He took ill within hrs of his vaccine burning up how dare you call me a lier . but to be honest that is what every single family are getting with the same story as mine . Well there is a great man out there i believe will expose the truth . robert kennedy junior .... Rett syndrome is caused by mutations (structural alterations or defects) in the MECP2 (pronounced meck-pea-two) gene, which is found on the X chromosome (see section on "Who gets Rett syndrome" for a discussion of the importance of the involvement of the X chromosome). Scientists identified the gene — which is believed to control the functions of several other genes — in 1999. The MECP2 gene contains instructions for the synthesis of a protein called methyl cytosine binding protein 2 (MeCP2), which acts as one of the many biochemical switches that tell other genes when to turn off and stop producing their own unique proteins. Because the MECP2 gene does not function properly in those with Rett syndrome, insufficient amounts or structurally abnormal forms of the protein are formed. The absence or malfunction of the protein is thought to cause other genes to be abnormally expressed, but this hypothesis has not yet been confirmed.
Seventy to 80 percent of girls given a diagnosis of Rett syndrome have the MECP2 genetic mutation detected by current diagnostic techniques. Scientists believe the remaining 20 to 30 percent of cases may be caused by partial gene deletions, by mutations in other parts of the gene, or by genes that have not yet been identified; thus, they continue to search for other mutations. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
What causes it?
Angelman syndrome is a chromosomal disorder caused by the absence of a gene. Interestingly, 75 per cent of those with Angelman syndrome have a similar genetic fault to that found in another genetic condition, Prader-Willi syndrome, but occurring on the chromosome 15 inherited from the mother rather than the father.
The genetic abnormality may be due to one of several possible types of problems with the chromosomes: ....................Fragile X syndrome, or Martin-Bell syndrome, is a genetic syndrome which results in a spectrum of characteristic physical, intellectual, emotional and behavioural features which range from severe to mild in manifestation.
The syndrome is associated with the expansion of a single trinucleotide gene sequence (CGG) on the X chromosome, and results in a failure to express the FMR1 protein which is required for normal neural development. There are four generally accepted states of the chromosome region involved in Fragile X syndrome which relate to the length of the repeated CGG sequence; Normal (29-31 CGG repeats) (not affected by the syndrome), Premutation (55-200 CGG repeats)(not affected by the syndrome), Full Mutation (more than 200 CGG repeats)(affected), and Intermediate or Gray Zone Alleles (40 - 60 repeats).[1]
Martin and Bell in 1943, described a pedigree of X-linked mental disability, without considering the macroorchidism (larger testicles).[2] In 1969 Chris and Weesam first sighted an unusual "marker ................Tuberous Sclerosis
What is Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)?
TSC is a complex genetic condition caused by an alteration in a gene. People with TSC have growths, sometimes called tubers or lesions in different organs of the body (brain, heart, eyes, skin, kidneys, lungs) and may have epilepsy, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder and kidney problems. Symptoms vary from one person to another with some people showing very few symptoms and others more severely affected. See effects of TSC for more information.

Statement by Barbara Loe Fisher, President and Co-founder
National Vaccine Information Center
Thank you for inviting me to share my thoughts about vaccine safety and communicate the concerns of thousands of mothers and fathers with vaccine injured children and those with well children, who contact the National Vaccine Information Center every year. I think it is also important to acknowledge that a number of prominent scientists and physicians from leading universities and hospitals in the US, Canada and Europe spoke publicly about their vaccine safety concerns at the Second International Public Conference on Vaccination sponsored by our non-profit organization this past September.
I am the mother of a now-grown son, my first-born, who was left with minimal brain damage following a convulsion, collapse-shock and state of unconsciousness within four hours of his fourth DPT and OPV shots at age two and a half. The daughter of a nurse, the granddaughter of a doctor and a former writer at a teaching hospital before I became a mother 23 years ago, I thought I was an especially well educated woman when it came to science and medicine.
But, like most new mothers, I had no idea that vaccines carried any risk whatsoever. I’m not sure why I assumed vaccines were risk free, when I certainly knew that drugs and surgery entailed risks. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that vaccines are supposed to keep well people well. The concept of risk associated with a prevention is quite different from the concept of risk associated with a cure. At any rate, I believed vaccines were 100 percent safe and effective until my son, Chris, became a vaccine reaction statistic.
I am relating my experience because it is typical of the experiences you will hear from parents, who describe how their once healthy children became chronically ill following vaccination. Whether the vaccine reaction results in minimal brain damage, as was the case with my son, or more severe and profound brain damage, as is the case with those who have been awarded compensation under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, there is a pattern and common experience that emerges. And that pattern and commonality of experience, reinforced over and over again with almost every vaccine reaction report, has contributed in no small way to why the vaccine safety issue will not go away, despite the concerted efforts by industry, government and medical organizations to convince the public that, when acute and chronic health problems follow vaccination, it is always just a coincidence.
Today’s college educated, well read, internet-savvy health care consumer, who becomes a parent and whose child experiences a vaccine adverse event, has the opportunity that I did not have as a young mother in the 1980’s to more quickly obtain information and then communicate with other parents who have shared the same experience. Like the biotechnology revolution, the mass communications revolution has created a national and international global network that shines a bright light on commonality of experience and gives immediacy and relevancy to it. That will continue to be true, even if government, industry and science continue to minimize the significance of that common experience.
In 1980, my son, Chris, was a healthy, cheerful, exceptionally bright two and a half year old child. A lively, contented baby who loved to be around people, he had begun saying words at seven months and speaking in full sentences at age two. At two and a half, he could identify the upper and lower case alphabet and numbers up to 20 and was beginning to identify words in the books we read together. He had memorized the deck of cards and created an interactive naming game he would play. One doctor told me he was cognitively gifted.
After his third DPT shot at seven months of age, there was a hard, red, hot lump that stayed at the site of the injection for several weeks. When I called my pediatrician’s office, the nurse told me it was “a bad lot of DPT vaccine” but not to worry. My response was to ask “Should I bring him down for another one?” because I thought she meant the shot might not have been strong enough and I wanted my baby protected.
The day of his fourth DPT and OPV shots, Chris was healthy except for slight diarrhea that was left over from a 48 hour bout with the stomach flu he had at the beach three weeks earlier. The nurse giving him the shots said he didn’t have a fever and that a little diarrhea didn’t matter.
When we got home, Chris seemed quieter than usual. Several hours later I walked into his bedroom to find him sitting in a rocking chair staring straight ahead as if he couldn’t see me standing in the doorway. His face was white and his lips slightly blue, and when I called out his name, his eyes rolled back in his head, his head fell to his shoulder and it was like he had suddenly fallen asleep sitting up. I tried, but could not wake him. When I picked him up, he was like a dead weight and I carried him to his bed, where he stayed without moving for more than six hours, through dinnertime, until I called my Mom, who told me to immediately try to wake him, which I finally did with great difficulty. But he didn’t know where he was, could not speak coherently and couldn’t walk. I had to carry him to the bathroom and he fell asleep again in my arms and then slept for 12 more hours.
This was 1980. I had been given no information by my doctor about how to recognize a vaccine reaction.
In the following days and weeks, Chris deteriorated physically, mentally and emotionally. He no longer knew his alphabet or numbers and would not look at the books we had once read together every day. He had no interest in his beloved deck of cards and had lost the ability to concentrate for more than a few seconds at a time. My once happy-go-lucky little boy was now listless and emotionally fragile, crying at the slightest frustration as if his heart would break.
Physically, the deterioration was just as profound. He had constant diarrhea that looked like attic foam insulation, became emaciated, stopped growing and was plagued with respiratory and ear infections for the first time in his life. Sometimes I would catch him staring and drooling slightly from one corner of his mouth. My Mom used the term “spaced out” to describe him. The pediatrician told me it was just a stage he was going through and not to worry about it. But after eight months of deterioration, I decided to take Chris to another pediatrician, who took one look at him and told me he might have either cystic fibrosis or celiac disease. All diagnostic tests came back negative. None of the doctors knew what was wrong with my son, who had become an entirely different child physically, mentally and emotionally.
It would be another year before I saw the television documentary “DPT: Vaccine Roulette,” began research into the medical literature and found clinical descriptions of pertussis vaccine reactions in the pages of Pediatrics, the New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, and British Medical Journal which exactly matched the pertussis vaccine reaction symptoms I had seen my son suffer within four hours of his fourth DPT shot.
I learned that the British National Childhood Encephalopathy Study had found a statistically significant correlation between DPT vaccine and brain inflammation leading to chronic neurological damage and that the UCLA-FDA study had found that 1 in 875 DPT shots is followed within 48 hours by a convulsion or collapse/shock reaction just like my son had suffered.
I was stunned. I felt betrayed by a medical profession I had revered all my life.
The day my child reacted to the pertussis vaccine, he should have been in an emergency room, not unconscious in his bed. As his mother, I should have had the information I needed to recognize a vaccine reaction and take steps to deal with it, including calling my doctor and later making sure the reaction was recorded in his medical record and reported to the vaccine manufacturer and health officials.
At age six, when Chris could not learn to read or write, he was given an extensive battery of tests that confirmed minimal brain damage which took the form of multiple learning disabilities, including fine motor and short term memory delays; visual and auditory processing deficits; attention deficit disorder and other developmental problems. He was removed from the Montessori school he attended and placed in a self contained classroom for the learning disabled in public school, where he stayed throughout elementary, junior and high school despite repeated efforts to mainstream him. Even with occupational therapy and counseling, he had a very negative educational experience, barely graduating from high school. As a young learning disabled adult, who blessedly survived the difficult teenage years without destroying himself like some of his learning disabled classmates, he is trying to find his place in the world, working in a mailroom and taking steps to better cope with the disabilities that made it difficult for him to learn in the classroom so he can get more formal education.
There is always the haunting vision of what would have been, intertwined with the certain knowledge that there is much to be thankful for. Both Chris and I know he was lucky compared to the children who have suffered vaccine reactions and been left quadriplegic, profoundly mentally retarded, epileptic or have died.
What I experienced as a young mother with my son is identical to the experiences of so many of the young mothers who today contact the National Vaccine Information Center. Mothers tell us how they took a happy, healthy, bright, normally developing child to the doctor to be vaccinated and then, within hours, days or weeks, their child regressed physically, mentally and emotionally and became a totally different child.
Many times, a mother will tell us that her baby exhibited acute symptoms within 72 hours of vaccination such as high pitched screaming or hours of constant crying sometimes alternating with extreme lethargy or long periods of unresponsiveness; head banging; twitching, jerking of the body or staring episodes; weakness or paralysis of one or more limbs; a dramatic change in eating and sleeping habits; loss of eye contact; restlessness; high fever; vomiting and diarrhea; body rash; or pronounced swelling, redness and heat at the site of the injection.
These acute symptoms are often followed by a gradual deterioration in overall health, a picture that includes chronic ear and respiratory infections and onset of multiple allergies, including asthma; loss of appetite and persistent diarrhea; sleep disturbances that turn night into day and day into night; loss of developmental milestones like the ability to roll over or sit up; older children will complain of muscle weakness, joint pain and disabling fatigue and exhibit loss of memory and loss of previously demonstrated cognitive abilities, speech or physical skills; development of strange or violent behavior that includes hyperactivity, screaming, biting, hitting, social withdrawal, and obsessively repetitive movements such as flapping, rubbing, rocking and spinning.
The once healthy, normally developing child becomes a totally different, sick child. And the mother, who carried that child inside her for nine months and nursed that baby after birth and whose every waking moment is connected to preserving the well-being of that child, knows her child in a way no one else does. The mother knows with all of her senses that her child changed and is different now, even if she doesn’t know why. It is a powerful experience, grounded in a primal love and instinct to nurture and protect her young.
Depending on the child and therapy interventions available, there is either gradual full recovery or the child is eventually diagnosed with varying degrees of permanent brain and immune system dysfunction ranging from severe and profound mental retardation and medication resistant seizure disorders, autistic behaviors, learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or other chronic health problems.
Upon questioning, many parents reveal that their child suffered previous vaccine reaction symptoms that were dismissed by their doctor as unrelated or unimportant. Others report their child was sick at the time of vaccination. Others report a strong family history of autoimmune disease. Still other babies, especially those whose vaccine reactions are followed by death, were born premature, were underweight or had a history of health problems prior to repeated vaccination.
In other words, these are children who have potentially identifiable genetic or other biological high risk factors which are not being factored into a one-size-fits-all national vaccine policy that today allows a baby to be injected with 9 or more vaccines on one day. The relatively small new vaccine pre-licensure studies do not include these categories of children routinely vaccinated in America, including premature, underweight and sick babies and those who have suffered previous vaccine reactions.
But how many children who react and become chronically ill are we talking about? Is it really only 1 in a 110,000 or 1 in a million who are left permanently disabled after vaccine reactions? Former FDA Commissioner David Kessler observed in 1993 that less than one percent of doctors report adverse events following prescription drug use. There have been estimates that perhaps less than 10 percent of doctors report hospitalizations, injuries, deaths or other serious health problems following vaccination.
There are about 12,000 reports made to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System every year. If the number 12,000 only represents 10 percent of what is occurring, then the real number may be 120,000 vaccine adverse events. If 12,000 reports represents only one percent of the actual total, then the real number may be 1.2 million vaccine adverse events annually. Yes, it is illogical to assume that all reported adverse events following vaccination are causally related. But is it not just as illogical to assume that most events are not?
If I had not walked into my child’s room when I did, I would not have witnessed the post-pertussis vaccine convulsion, collapse shock and six hour state of unconsciousness which, not counting the few minutes I was able to rouse my son to a state of semi-consciousness, was actually an 18 hour state of altered consciousness. If Chris had been a four month old baby and not a precocious two and a half year old, the regression he underwent following vaccination may not have been so immediately and dramatically apparent. How many mothers are not in a child’s presence to witness a serious vaccine reaction, which could easily occur in the middle of the night? And how many infants are regressing after vaccine reactions but are never diagnosed until long after the damage has occurred, thereby preventing even a temporal relationship between vaccination and neuro-immune dysfunction from being recognized?
Today, as vaccination rates with DTP, polio, MMR and Hib vaccines approach 98 percent for children entering kindergarten, those once common childhood infectious diseases have disappeared. My mother had whooping cough as a child and, as a nurse, took care of children on polio wards. I had rubella, measles and chicken pox and, in 1955, lined up in grade school to get my first dose of Salk polio vaccine. Mass vaccination with measles vaccine has driven the numbers of cases of measles down from more than 400,000 cases in 1965 to less than 100 in 1999. And the dreaded polio has been eradicated from our nation.
But individual and public health is not measured solely by an absence of infectious disease. Today, instead of epidemics of measles and polio, our children are experiencing epidemics of chronic disease and disability. In the past 20 years, rates of asthma and attention deficit disorder have more than doubled; diabetes and learning disabilities have tripled; and autism has increased by 300 percent or more in most states. Our public school systems are unable to build or staff special education classrooms fast enough to serve the millions of chronically disabled and ill children and the 425 billion dollar annual health care price tag to treat chronic disease continues to climb.
The larger unanswered question is: has the increased administration of multiple vaccines in the first three years of life, when the brain and immune systems develop most rapidly, been an unrecognized co-factor in the epidemics of chronic disease and disability plaguing so many children today?
Other potential co-factors are increased exposures to pesticides, chemicals and other environmental toxins; overuse of antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals; nutritionally compromised food sources and unhealthy lifestyles. But there is a compelling argument to be made that the dramatic increase in chronic brain and immune dysfunction in children, especially the rising number of reports of regression in previously healthy children, is due to an early exposure that is being experienced by all children but which is harming an expanding minority of them.
Genetic factors alone have been suggested as a cause for autism increases, for example. But if the presence of certain genes were the sole causal factor for autism, in order to explain the huge increase in autism in the past two decades, there would have had to be a significant genetic shift in the whole population. A more likely explanation is that the presence of certain genes, together with one or more new environmental exposures which act as triggers, account for the increases in autism and other chronic diseases in childhood.
Many biological responses are at least partially under genetic control. If, for example, adverse responses to vaccination are tied to the genes responsible for predisposition to autoimmunity and immune-mediated neurological dysfunction, then it is possible that the addition of more doses of vaccines to the routine schedule in the past two decades has affected more and more children with that genetic predisposition. With each dose of vaccine or simultaneous injection of multiple vaccines, there may be a cumulative increased risk for vaccine-induced immune and brain dysfunction in genetically vulnerable children. So the pool of genetically susceptible children has not changed but the environmental triggers have increased. Therefore, when all children only were exposed to DPT and polio vaccine in the 1960’s, a tiny fraction of the genetically susceptibles responded adversely. But with the addition of measles, mumps, and rubella to the routine schedule in 1979, and then Hib, hepatitis B and chicken pox in the late 1980’s and 1990’s, far more of the genetically susceptibles have been brought into the vaccine adverse responder group.
My son, born in 1978, was part of the first bubble that turned into a tidal wave of learning disabled, hyperactive, autistic children that required the creation of special classrooms in the public school system to deal with this new phenomenon. Were he and his classmates the canaries in the coal mine, ignored because, as German immunologist Wolfgang Ehrengut once suggested “What must not be, cannot be?”
Certainly, the a priori assumption that increased use of multiple doses of vaccines over the past quarter century has played no role in the rise in chronic disease and disability in children is as unscientific and potentially dangerous as the assumption that an individual child’s regression following vaccination is only coincidentally and not causally related to vaccination, especially in the absence of basic science research into the biological mechanisms of vaccine-induced injury. Without pathological profiles to conclusively determine what is and is not a vaccine-induced event, the coincidence assumption will continue to be used to maintain the status quo, with all the inherent risks that assumption carries with it.
Epidemiological studies will be fatally flawed by the coincidence assumption in the absence of objective, science-based criteria for determining what is and is not vaccine-induced. This is especially true when, for the past 35 years, virtually all American children have been vaccinated with at least DPT and polio vaccines. Therefore, the true background rates in vaccinated children for mental retardation, medication resistant seizure disorders, learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, asthma, diabetes and other chronic disease, is unknown.
The two previous IOM committees charged by Congress with evaluating the medical literature for evidence that vaccines can cause injury and death pointed out “There are many gaps and limitations in knowledge bearing directly or indirectly on the safety of vaccines.” Little has changed in the landscape of vaccine reaction research since that assessment was made. And yet, the medical literature dating back to the turn of the last century is already rich with evidence documenting that the complications of vaccines containing lab altered viruses and bacteria are often identical to the complications of the infectious diseases caused by those same viruses and bacteria. From smallpox and polio to pertussis and rubella, the brain and immune system changes due to complications of disease is quite similar to that following complications of vaccination.
When you look at the possible biological mechanisms for vaccine-induced neuro-immune dysfunction, in addition to genetic factors, the picture is complicated by the presence of heavy metals in vaccines, such as the preservative mercury and the adjuvant aluminum. And there are other vaccine components, such as MSG and formalin that, together with residual DNA and possible adventitious agent contamination from animal human cell substrates, have unknown biological effects. In addition, atypical introduction of viruses and bacteria through vaccination has yet to be evaluated for the long term effect on chromosomal integrity and this is worth looking at as the past two generations of highly vaccinated children give birth to their children.
But what do we do if increased vaccination in childhood is contributing to increased chronic disease and disability in childhood? Some would view this as an unacceptable catastrophe for vaccination programs and public perception of them. This fear may be one reason why there hasn’t been a funding commitment to conduct basic science and applied vaccine adverse event research. If you don’t really look, you don’t have to deal with what you find.
But, in the long run, we have far less to fear by honestly searching for the truth and dealing with it now, than we do by failing to see the canaries dying in the mine before we take steps to modify vaccine policies to make them safer and more humane. It would be medically useful as well as more humane to find out why some children, like my son, respond adversely to vaccination. It would be useful to understand what common genetic and other host factors are shared by vaccine adverse responders, both those who fail to mount an antibody response and those who react, so that identification and screening techniques could be developed to spare their lives. With the human genome project yielding invaluable information, the more precise identification of individuals at increased genetic or other biological risk for responding adversely to vaccination would go a long way toward reassuring the individual mother that everything possible has been done to minimize the vaccine risk for her child.
The anecdotal evidence we have gathered for two decades suggests that a significant portion of vaccine injury and death may be prevented if children who exhibit acute severe reactions, especially those who suffer chronic health problems following vaccination, were not re-vaccinated; and if more caution were exercised when vaccinating premature and sick babies and children with personal or strong family histories of autoimmune or neurological disease, especially with regard to giving them multiple vaccines on one day.
This, of course, would require vaccine policies to abandon a one-size-fits-all approach, which has proven to be ill advised in many other areas of medicine. It would require re-thinking the mission of achieving a 100 percent vaccination rate with every vaccine and an institutional commitment to rejecting the idea that some children are expendable in order to achieve the mission.
maybe sis your son has one of the conditions above you listed my son has not . one day soon i will be able to post on here told you so . the truth will come out .and ammmm do you just not believe wat anyone says as you go on about liers in your profile .... im sorry if in this world you have come across a lot of dishonest people . i am not and as ive said like other mums and dad i have proof . filmed footage and also school reports . i was told to involve my childs school and to do w+eekly reports with them with treatment . i told them i just wanted another opinion . my sons school believe me there is something very rong going on . but hay they have seen the sudden change back in my son | |
