Stomping Through A Medical Minefield

okay i thought i would let you know about what happened in England in an area known as Kirklees i forfet the proper spelling but it is where my sister lives. in the year 1999 a new vaccine for measles mumps and rubella came on the market and kirklees was the first area to use it. that year my sisters son (1of 4 in the end) was one of the first to recieve it. that year autism rose over 300% for that area and the vaccine was imediatly removed from the market and that child 1 of 4 sons was the only one to get autism. it was removed due to the high levels of mercury.

Useyournoggin,
Amen, regarding your comments on stress.

I'm absolutely certain the vaccines cause the autism. We are between a rock and a hard place. We want to do the right thing. We spend hours researching the literature, combing the internet, polling our friends and listening to our doctors. We want our children to be healthy, and the "experts" tell us we need the vaccine. Yet, vaccine has the opposite effect, and we are left with a child who doesn???t respond to the world around him in a normal way. It's a difficult situation. Hard for any of us to navigate safely. I understand many children with autism can be taught to function normally, but a great deal of effort is required. I applaud those parents who make the effort and help the child overcome the obsticles that life has put in his path.

Get away from autism for a minute and look at the health of our kids in general. With all of the protection from disease that our kids are offered via vaccination AND considering the fact that we spend more money, per capita, on healthcare than any other country in the world, we should have the HEALTHIEST kids in the world. Would you expect anything less from our amazing doctors? Yet just this year we sank even further and the World Health Organization ranked the U.S. 29th in infant mortality. Therefore, if you want your newborn child to increase the chance they will survive past his/her first birthday you can choose 28 other countries to live in and have a greater chance. Amazing. We are doing something to our babies that is hurting them more than helping them. Wait, I know, it is putting them to sleep on their bellies. Dumb, dumb parent. If you want to improve cardiovascular function you need to STRESS the heart, if you want bones to be stronger you need to STRESS them with weight bearing exercise, if you want to improve respiratory function you need to STRESS the lungs to watch them improve. The same holds true for the immune system. If you want your kids to be healthier you need to stress the immune system and let them get sick. Unfortunately common sense in health care is not that common. Silly doctors, when you start keeping our kids healthy with your methods that is when I will subject my kids to your "treatments."

Dr. Paul Offit, sounds like a man who has lived his life to helping children. Not hurting them. What I hear is frustration and lack of education from parents with children that have autism. I myself have 6 children. 1 confirmed case of Autism and 3 suspected. Do I believe that any of them got autism from vaccines? No.
Do I think it has something to do with the enviroment? yes.
Do I think it is something I could have passed onto my kids through my genes? yes.
I can go into a lab and have my DNA checked and they can go through and tell me everything that has been introduced into my system from birth. Stuff that my Genes still carry with me to this day. Like when I was a kid and they sprayed neighborhoods for killing mosquitoes using DDT. They sprayed that stuff rolling through your neiborhood on trucks like they were trying to put out a fire. You couldn't help but breath it in or be soaked by it. It was later to be found out it is toxic and DDT is not used anymore. But you can still find traces of DDT in your system from the 60's and 70's even today. So what does that tell you? It tells me that anything that enters your body has a chance of still being there. Bill Clinton said he didn't inhale. Put it to the test pres. If he did it is still floating around in his genes. Alcohol. You bet. The thing is we did it to ourselves and now our children are paying for it. That is how I think Autism came about. It could be in the food we eat? The Air we breath? The Water we drink? I think it is all because the enviorment we made and it is catching up to us.
Don't blame Dr. Offit. He may one day find a vaccine for it? You never know.

people who don't immunize their kids are f*ckin' RETARDED. What kind of junk shamanism are they practicing? They need to BAN all KIDS from any social setting for not getting vaccinations. Stupid parents putting their kids at risk should be jailed and fined. Stupid retards.

I know a lot of providers routinely recommend acetaminophen after "shots". I wonder if this has ever been investigated. I think acetaminophen is probably overused. Really not recommended except for high fevers.

As I read the comments I amazed the vennom of some commets. My son is 22 years old and was diagnosed at 2 years of age. At that time Autism was an unknown disease. I struggled on y own trying to figure out what to do. I could not tell yu if it was the shots or not. Parents that have been struggling alone for many years probably have different perspectives than most. I was told that my son would never be able to go to school and that he would be instutionalized before he wa an adult. He is now a senior in college and lives in the dorm during the week to feel like he has some independance. He still does not have any friends and only talks to people when it is absolutley has to. I would not change anything that I have done as a parent. I am not angry when people do not agree with me. I am too busy trying to get my son through college and making him a functioning citizen of society. I would rather have my son like he is than risk him dying from a preventable disease. Every parent mut read, research and make a educational choice about whether giving their child the shots or not.

My son is 22 years old and was diagnosised when he was 2 years old. At that time Autism was an unknown disease. I do not know if the shots caused Autim or not. All I do now is when the celebrities are now comeing out and saying they have cured their child of Autism, which means your child never had Autism. You don't "cure" an Autistic child. You help him learn what to do in situations that causes him anxeity. My son is a Senior in college. He still does not have any friends but he lives in the dorm so he can feel independant. I love my child very much even with all the struggles we get through it one issue at a time. I would rather have my son like he is than risk him dying unnecessaryly from a diesease that could have been prevented by a vaccination.

Vaccines are not 100% effective. Not everyone develops immunity. Vaccination creates a "herd immunity" which prevents the spread of disease through a population. By some not vaccinating their children, this population immunity is weakened and can result in others getting infected. As Amanda Peet stated, these people who do not get their children vaccinated are parasites. Vaccinate your children people.

I do not think that parents fears about vacccines should be ignored. We need careful researc to look at all of the factors that might be linked to Autism. However it is difficult to imagine a world that did not have vaccines millions of children died from polio and diptheria and the scourge of small pox. Many of these disease have been eradicated because of vaccination. My own mother had polio and she had siblings that died from influenza. Good
