I can't say I agree with her. I've had another thought. In my family, there is a history on bot my mom and dad's side of siezures. My mom has absent siezures, something nearly impossible to detech and my dad had regular epilepsy. It made me wonder if those who have a history of siezure activity or inherit this from parents may be more likely to be damaged by vaccines.

If so, it would mean those with family history of siezures should be not taking the vaccine gospel!!

I am really interested on studies about autism since i have heard a prominent personality in our country having this disease....thanks for this post...is it true that most of the persons with autism were intelligent?

Pyxi

My husband finally collapsed and had to take disabilty from work.

He was a polymer chemist with Dow Chemical for 29 years.

He oxygen went really low off and on for years, and years, and years before this finally happened.

A few years ago he had a sleep study done and oxygen was in the low 80s even dipping down to the 70s.

Walking around it dropped dangerously low, so he had to carry oxygen with him.

Finally, it became so very bad that when he was just sitting his oxygen was low.
He had a gray look about him.

The plumologists acted more like funeral home directors than doctors with thier long faces.

This spring he went in for an appointment and even though his oxygen dropped down low when he walked around - his oxygen was almost normal when he was sitting.

The chief pulmonlogist at University of Kentucky was amazed. He told me that sudies showed that life expectancy if oxygen was normal sitting was the same as anybody else's. Did not seem to shorten it any if it was low while walking around.

They were amazed! They started asking us what we had done differently.

For one thing - three years ago - I wrote a 10 page research paper on the Atkin's modified diet, epilepsy, mitochondrial disease complete with research footnotes to convince him to go on the Atkin's modified Diet. I finally convinced him and he had been on the diet every since.

This fall another appointment and they decided that they would do another sleep study.

We just got the sleep study back and-----

Here is what the other doctor ahead of sleep study center had to say:

"Impression: Although he has a history of significant sleep-disordered breathing, there was no evidence of it on this study. We cannot justify or document the need for either CPAP or oxygen on the basis of this test. We believe this sutdy is accurate: Mr. Steadweth slept reaonably well and went witout CPAP for 3 nights prior to this testing, so we do not believe this sutdy is falsely negative. Possible explanations for resolution of sleep-disordered breathing include weight loss, treatment of hypothyroidism, reduction in respiratory depressant agents, upper airway surgery, inaccurate oxitry reporting, or smoking cessation. He IS sleepy, but he is taking several medication that cause sleepinesss, and he likely has mood disturbance.
PLAN: We will invite Mr. Steadweth to the clinic to go over the sleep complaints, review this study, and answer any questions he may have. I would very much like to know what has cahnged in this man's life since 2005! I hope this report is helpful to you and to your patient.

How about that every body!

I have been doing this diet off and on with my son for years!!!! He is going to the community college and even though he will never be completly cured - I never ever imagined that my son would be going to college when he was 17years old or even 18 years old or even 19 years old - but the summer of his graduation he told MMMMMMEEEE he was going.

So, I know this is what they call causation or corallation or what ever.

Yes. It's true.

We managed to dramatically improve my husband's Aspergers Syndrome by:

Fixing his Leaky Gut (Candida), Putting LGG bacteria back into his system, adding Sublingual vitD3 and subcutaneous Methylcobalamine injections, Removing toxic foods from his diet, Chelating the mercury from his brain and Adjusting his lifestyle accordingly.

A year on and he converses and interacts in such a way now, that no-one would ever know what damage the mercury did.

But the damage is still there. If he feeds the Candida with Gluten, Casein, Soy, Sugar or Corn, the Candidas toxins travel up to the neurons and act as opiates on the neurons that mercury has stripped the sheaths off.

And Viola!!!, he becomes a full blown Aspie for the next 3 or 4 days. Not fun.

Sigh. We're forgetting the #1 guideline when interpreting studies. Who funded the study? What do they have to gain? Sorry, but Thoughtful House now has a reputation among many autism professionals of being involved in intrusive, unnecessary procedures that aren't supported by other medical professionals. Thoughtful House = pure quackery.

As a parent of an autistic son, I am sharing this with other parents. Even with pretty obvious connection (like watching my son's development halt after receiving the MMR) the vast amount of mainstream magazines I've seen over the past year touting that vaccines don't cause any autism, I was happy to read this. I do not vaccinate my children any more after becoming more educated on this issue.

John Fryer Chemist -

IMHO, gorski (orac) and offit are sociopaths, moral entrepeneurs, who are capitalizing on human misery and suffering. They have made faustian bargains. Their credibility is ZERO. They deserve our censure. They are absolutely pathetic, totally disgusting. Obviously, the Oath of Hippocrates means nothing to them.

Patrons99 - Thanks for taking a look at my proposal. The reason I got interested in fMRI is that it is less invasive than PET, and it appears to reveal problems (metabolic problems) even when there is no visible pathology.

I wish I could work in research, but have not been able to find a group (in the Boston area) that shares my interests. Inflammation, from aluminum, mercury, lead, ischemia etc. may show up.

The inferior colliculi have higher blood flow and metabolism than any other area of the brain. I have some references on my website. More later. I am on vacation in Europe with my husband - he is dragging me off to the breakfast buffet right now. . .

Here's the link to the taped interview of Dr Chris Shaw (a neurobiologist at the University of British Columbia) by Dr Deagle that I referred to. I provided the link in another thread, which I've provided here to put it into context. It's not just the mercury. Aluminum adjuvants are neurotoxins! Eliminating the mercury will not make vaccines "safe". It will only make them somewhat less toxic.

http://www.falseflagflu.com/DR_CHRIS_SHAW,PhD-VACCINE_DAMAGE_CONFIRMED.html

Thanks again, Benedetta - Seriously, I'd like to join a group such as this and dedicate the rest of my life, what remains of it, to looking into these crucial questions, which have direct impact on human health, worldwide. God sometimes works in mysterious ways. Yes, I'm eclectic. This may be an asset. If anyone out there can help me connect with such a research group, I'd be grateful. It would be pretty easy to match my current salary.

I tried to further the dialog in various blogs over the last year or so, with varying degrees of success. As examples, google the words "patrons99 and aluminum" or "patrons99 and germs". See if you get any hits.

I highly recommend that you listen to the taped interviews of Dr Chris Shaw by Dr Deagle in the links I provided in my last comment. They literally brought tears to my eyes. EVERYTHING came into clearer focus! Let me know what you think.

Thanks Benedetta - I don't have the details on what exactly went on at the Columbia University PET facility. I am WARY of the timing. Just coincidental? Hmmmm.

During the two years in the early 1990's that I was Associate Medical Director for DuPont Pharma's radiopharmaceutical division, my primary responsibility was SAFETY. Clinical input on ongoing clinical research studies in support of NDAs and postmarketing studies, clinical interface with marketing and sales, were also responsibilities.

The buck always stops with SAFETY and ETHICS. That is as it should be for anyone with an MD after their name who took the Oath of Hippocrates, which is effectively a promise to do no harm.

Just a word of caution to these investigators. It may just be serendipity, but for whatever reason, the FDA may start looking VERY closely at functional imaging with radiopharmaceuticals to ensure regulatory compliance. Look at what's going on at Columbia University's PET facility. Don't get sloppy. Don't cut ANY corners. Not to insinuate you ever would. Make sure that your informed consents and ethical principles for clinical research studies (e.g. Declaration of Helinski and Nuremberg Code) are unassailable.

@ Eileen Simon - Very inciteful comment. I haven't forgotten my nuclear medicine, radiopharmaceutical, and analytical chemistry background. It's hard to break an old dog (I just turned 60) of old tricks.

How do we know that the diminished opoid binding in the vaccinated group was not due, at least in part, to diminished perfusion or diminished viability?

Before pharma's surrogates and shills (e.g., FDA) do something to prevent it, we need more studies of this type looking at perfusion and viability using either PET, SPECT, magnetic resonance imaging, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. We also need histopathologic correlation with post mortem specimens from brain, heart, and gut, including atomic absorption/emission and/or field desorption mass spectrometry. BTW - I could easily be persuaded to give up my daytime job (Internal Medicine) and get involved in studies such as this VERY exciting pilot study.

Hi Emily-

We sure do have Facebook connected. After you read the entire article, there is a link that says "Share on Facebook". Click there and it will connect this article to your Facebook profile. Thanks for sharing with your friends.

I hope that further tracer techniques can be employed to study the detailed biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of EACH marketed vaccine.

After parenteral administration, in which capillary vascular beds do the various components of the pediatric and adult vaccine cocktails end up? heart? lung? brain? kidney? gut?

To what extent (location and duration) is our innate immune system activated and what is the temporal sequence of such immune activation?

To what extent is blood-clotting, ischemia, and infarction involved?

http://www.hbci.com/~wenonah/riddick/vaccine.htm

Shouldn't every marketed vaccine be rigorously screened for "adventitious presence" of biotech-enhanced events such as contamination with non-human DNA, retroviruses, reverse transcriptases, and oncogenes?

As amply demonstrated by this pilor study in non-human primates, the technology exists to begin systematic analyses in areas such as these.

In my humble opinion, vaccine madnessa and mythology poses a clear and present danger to public health, worldwide. Unless we live in jab-free, hermnetically-sealed bubbles, no one will be completely-spared from this crisis of vaccine-associated disease.

My most recent baby went to sleep on his tummy, I never felt I was risking this unvaccinated baby's life, because I "believed" the saving factor in the "back to bed program" COULD indicate someone knew that seizures after vaccines could cause smothering. I suggest all vaccinated babies be put on their backs for this reason. It WOULD be interesting to find out if the amydgala plays a part in sids. I've had two friends lose their babies , one five days after dpt,yet diagnosed at autopsy Kawasaki,he was seven months old. She drove him from the doctors office to the hospital at the doctors orders while he was having a stroke. Horrendous story, worse outcome.

Quoting Barbaraj: "I have to wonder if EACH vaccinated member of the group(cohort vaccinated in the 90's) suffered SOME damage, which could well explain the generation of self medicating , anxious, depressed, children and teens. Were any of the vaccinated study group unharmed?"

I work in a high profile university counseling center and I can tell you with certainty that what we have started seeing more than any other diagnosis in the last few years is ANXIETY and increasingly AD(H)D, impulsivity, and Bipolar Disorder. Years ago the main problem we saw was depression, usually over failed or lost relationships. Severity level of all diagnoses is at an all time high. This has been documented and is consistent in colleges across the country.

Mike, sorry, this is wrong.

"I want to point out, aside from any discussion of the merits of this study, that observations of cranial size and morphology are generally not associated with brain development. It is more likely that they reflect changes in the fluid and membranes surrounding the brain (in young children) or bone composition/growth (in older children.) While these may be clinically important, they do not reflect brain development in any reliable or systematic way."

Nope, sorry, you're dead wrong. My oldest son (ultimately dx'ed with PDD-NOS and tethered spinal cord) was evaluated for craniosynostosis back in 2000. Go look it up. The fluid, membrane, and bone composition do impact crainal size and they are critical to brain development.

Sorry, you're plain wrong. BTW - after rI read that I didn't bother reading the rest of your comment.

Kindly,
Ang

I'm so excited to see this research published. I'll be hitting the books to study what is already known about the amygdala. If there is no reliable information yet out there re: what the normal physical size of the amygdala is and becomes as the brain matures sans vaccines, I'm sure it with be forthcoming soon. And since this appears to be a measurement that can be done without an overly invasive process, I'm sure it would not be difficult in the every growing vaccine-cognizant population to garner sufficient recruits for such studies i.e. babies and kids with parents not intending to vaccinate their kids versus children receiving vaccinations versus children already diagnosed with aspergers and kids high on the spectrum.

I wonder, also, if there is autopsy information out there that can be studied re: the size of the amygdala in typical children who pass away due to accidents vs ASD children who've passed away due to accidents?

At the very least, this pilot study lays the groundwork for what are sure to be even more supportive research projects. And it does so in a way that it would be hard for anyone to justify the further studies in unvaccinated vs vaccinated kids would be unethical. The technology to accomplish this is already here.

@ Mike Lisieski

Mike you make some good points, but consider your following sentence:

"Several thousand (good and rigorous) studies have been published using the self-administration model of drug addiction, and we are far from understanding exactly what is happening within the model, let alone how it generalizes to human disorders."

First off, it's an apples and oranges comparison as we aren't talking about a physical/emotional/spiritual disorder regarding why someone would continue destructive behavior in spite of the obvious consequences. We are talking about whether or not injecting foreign substances into the bloodstream of infants is toxic. Going back to the addiction scenario, a better comparison would be whether excessive alcohol consumption is harmful. It didn’t take thousands of studies to determine this; the link is so obvious it can be drawn from simple observation. People that drink to excess die early of nasty stuff like cirrhosis and malnutrition, not to mention car wrecks.

Second, I’m not willing to wait for thousands of studies. By the time this happens, the schedule will have grown from 49 doses by age six to probably hundreds. I saw my first son regress after receiving seven vaccine doses in one office visit (as I’ve also seen alcoholics die of cirrhosis), I’m not willing to take that chance with my second son. I tell my family, friends and co-workers of my observations and my suspicions regarding a link. It’s anecdotal, but that doesn’t mean it’s of no value.

Third, there is a tremendous double-standard as to what needs thousands of studies and what doesn’t. The IOM didn’t need thousands of studies to proclaim any further research into a thimerisol/autism link was a waste of time and money. They did this after a few retrospective studies that used highly questionable methods. Very few in the medical or scientific establishment questioned this dogmatic conclusion, that was left to the parents.

I grow very weary of the observations of tens of thousands of parents being dismissed as “anecdotal”. Whether it be regression after vaccines, the effectiveness of GFCF regarding or children’s behavior, or whatever; we didn’t used to need scientists to validate our every observation. Intelligent people can observe actions and draw conclusions regarding the effects. The pooling of information via the internet dramatically increases the speed and effectiveness to which conclusions can be drawn (a sort of real-time peer review). Yes, mistakes are made, but the same happens in poorly designed or sloppy studies, or those studies driven by an agenda.

The study seems to be stirring up considerable excitement, but I am certain that no one reading this is smart enough to contact the publisher requesting an order for a few thousand copies of this issue for selective distribution.

Now I guess the CDC anti-litigation bloc of Autism research featuring the likes of Poul "fast fingers" Thorsen and Paul "Machine Gun" Offit are gonna have to pull a polish study out of their butts to save their skin?

I want to point out, aside from any discussion of the merits of this study, that observations of cranial size and morphology are generally not associated with brain development. It is more likely that they reflect changes in the fluid and membranes surrounding the brain (in young children) or bone composition/growth (in older children.) While these may be clinically important, they do not reflect brain development in any reliable or systematic way.

Also, the findings in this study are highly preliminary - first of all, this is only a very young model, and all animal models need years and years and many (possibly hundreds) of studies before we can know exactly what they mean to people. These findings must be replicated in a larger sample and across a broad range of models before we can say that they are reliable and thus possibly informative about autism in humans.

Working in the field of drug addiction with the self-administration model, I know from experience that it is a grave mistake (scientifically) to take any single study using an animal model as if it definitively answered any questions about a human disorder. Several thousand (good and rigorous) studies have been published using the self-administration model of drug addiction, and we are far from understanding exactly what is happening within the model, let alone how it generalizes to human disorders. I suspect that there is no animal model that is free from this downfall.

It would be wise, I think, to encourage further study in this area to reproduce and extended these findings before making any firm conclusions about them. In any case, any sort of complex conclusions about the etiology of autism from this study seem to be premature (to me, at least,) as there is little (if any) independent validation of its internal or external validity.

To speak more specifically about this study: the control group is sort of hard to believe in as "normal", because they show such a marked decrease in amygdala volume over such a short time. While cells may be undergoing widespread apoptosis in normal brain development, the brain as a whole (as well as its parts) is still expanding in volume throughout early development; it is simply the case that many neurons are dying (although not nearly as many as are being made.) It is very unlikely, given what we know about neurodevelopment (although it is impossible to tell without a larger sample size,) that macaques lose almost 40% of their amygdala volume during normal development. This indicates that the control group was of questionable validity, as it doesn't look like what we'd expect from truly normal animals. Add to this that the control group is only two animals, and it's clear that this study needs to be replicated with larger groups for its results to be valid.

Just my two cents.

Don't miss out on this one....

'Universal' Flu Vaccine to Become Reality

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,596862,00.html

Stephanie,

You asked why the autism rate wasn't 1 in 60 in the 90's? One reason is there is a delay in the release of the cohort numbers...but also, take a look at this CDC vaccine schedule from 1995 http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/rr/rr4405.pdf
page 2. there were 18 shots for 9 different diseases, birth-18 years of age. Compare with a growth to current: 53 shots of 15 diseases, birth through 18. even with the majority of thimerosal removed, the growth of this schedule since 1995(including yearly mercury-laden flu shots) and untold amounts of aluminum (another heavy metal) can easily account for the continuing increase in vaccine-damage. I imagine the incidence will not go down (unless due to non-compliance). The amount of injections is now so great the cdc puts out three different vaccination charts: children, adolescent, and adult.

Stephanie,
All of the published US studies that report high rates of autism, especially those setting rates in the range of 1 in 100, are based on populations of children born during the 1990s when thimerosal was in use for hep B, Hib and DTaP vaccines. Of course, influenza vaccines contain thimerosal and children born later were exposed in utero to thimerosal at comparable levels (on a weight adjusted basis). But we don't yet have good data on autism rates in more recent birth cohorts.

"receiving the vaccine schedule used in the 1990’s that contained the mercury-based preservative thimerosal"
How come no one has yet commented on this statement in the first paragraph? According to my pediatrician the vaccines that our practice gives our children are thimerosal free and in single dose viles. Isn't this the trend? Of thimerosal free or low thimerosal as a preservative? And if these findings are so prominent with the high thimerosal vaccines and the schedule set in the 90s, why wasn't the rate of autism 1 in 60 in the 90's or early 2000s? At what age are the children being diagnosed? Surely not 10-20 years old?

This may be the tipping point! I hope many more studies of this sort will be done. Is there a study in the works that might show whether any of these primates' brains change for the worse as time goes by with and without more vaccinations, and whether, with treatment, these brain scans change in a positive direction? I can envision all kinds of possibilities here.

No worries Benedetta. It was just something I wondered. Seeing that autism and siezures seem to go hand and hand, I wondered if those who already had a history of siezures in the family would be more or less likely to have a child with an ASD along the line.

Seeing it seemed to be so in my family made me wonder if given the vaccine, if having a history of such made me more likely to not be able to fight off toxins.

Or, what in the vaccines keep causing us to go into siezures?

Nothing in the news this morning. Keep sending this study to local news and national news.

Even if they don't pick it up, they'll know that we know.

The paper is available and may be difficult to read certainly I have problems.

It shows clearly though if you take trouble:

The brains of animals are inflated or get bigger by a disturbing amount and at least 10 per cent and often by more than 20 per cent. This is in line with simple head measurements of boys showing up to 90 per cent head inflation and a cabbage like existence after vaccination.

Remember this expansion is not for one in ten or one in a hundred or even one in a thousand. This dangerous expansion occurs to EVERY vaccinated anaimal. Only limitation of harm prevents every child turning into a cabbage.

When animals were not vaccinated the brain volums actually DECREASED and again by a factor of ten per cent or even twenty per cent.

What is the explanation here? Have they been vaccinated before use in the experiments? And is this measurement the RECOVERY from earlier INSULTS before the research team acquired them?

It seems as said not only is this already known but why in heaven arent these SIMPLE head measurement checks done.

As an individual that had all his vaccines from age 5 to 25 years of age and could express verbally any problems it is HORRIFIC that we vaccinate infants ad nauseum when we are aware of 10, 20, 90 per cent blow ups in head size with subsequent recovery to some sort of "normality".

We save one child every ten years from a horrific death from measles but do we need to pay for this impressive gain by blowing up the heads of every child by at least 10 per cent to avoid this pandemic though clearly not as much as H1N1 when 95 per cent less people died od flu than normal and strangely 95 per cent of French people REFUSED their organomercury vaccines they so willingly allow for their infants.

Many children vaccine damaged get their families lives destroyed when a parent is convicted of SBS.

The only cases I have studied always show an immediate and large increase in head size after the vaccine but because there is no check in the week after vaccination it gets lost often in the haze of normal head growth.

There is a strong case for every person to be head size checked both before and then two days after.

Of course the authorities always have known about this head expansion after vaccines but in the interests of an industry that makes trillions of pounds and pays out to epidemiologists, regulators and government in 10 000 dollar dollops of what is called lobbying but might be called bribery in plain language we see the death of millions of infants and the neurological problems to one child in three in USA but never mind they have their pay packets, bribery money and like Tony blair cynically use our knowledge to protect their little darlings from the vaccine cull of humanity.

Just wish they had some humanity for those they SLAUGHTER.

I noticed how they used actual saline shots for the control group instead of shots of aluminum, thimerosal, or carrier solutions.

What a novel idea.

;-)

I am curious why this is not on the Local 9:00pm news or on CNN or FOX!!!!

This is just a shame. Proves that the media is owned or affiliated with Big Pharma.

I haven't been posting comments lately... Been working on marriage. Pray for me.

Want to clarify that the report on Frederick where this comment was made- " His occiput and frontal region was markedly prominent." was from 1942, when he was almost 6. Kanner also had this to say of the original eleven - "Five had relatively large head circumferences."

Thank you for posting this. Too bad it's not on all of the news casts like every genetic marker they find.

Oh, I was curious about this study though. How many (percentage) of the infant monkeys showed any problems?

Thank you University of Pittsburgh, Thoughtful House, Dr. Wakefield, and Dr. Carol Stott for this fundamentally important vaccine study.

Based on the CDC projected supply--around 56 percent of the 2009-2010 flu vaccine supply contains Thimerosal.

See http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/vaxsupply.htm#table .

And the United States Centers for Disease Control continues this Pharma shill misinformation:

“Is it safe for children to receive an influenza vaccine that contains thimerosal? Yes… Is it safe for pregnant women to receive an influenza vaccine that contains thimerosal? Yes…”

See http://www.cdc.gov/FLU/ABOUT/QA/thimerosal.htm .

If you've gotten a spect scan for your child like I have you the desciption of the damage is very familiar.

"guys, it's a good start, but 2 groups is not going to cut it. We need many, many more replicating this. It's not going to happen here in the U.S."

Yup, this will be dismissed by the medical establishment as a study conducted by known "anti-vaccine nuts" published in some “third-rate, foreign journal”. They'll say, "Why isn't it published in a reputable, mainstream journal? How do we know the peer review was adequate?"

Of course, they control the "mainstream" journals, they control peer review, and would never let a study like this see the light of day. The system is rigged, and they'll use that to discredit or stifle any study not to their liking.

The only way to break the dam is to keep studies like this coming. In the meantime, we need to get the word out on this one.

guys, it's a good start, but 2 groups is not going to cut it. We need many, many more replicating this. It's not going to happen here in the U.S.

Many thanks to the folks at AoA and to the researchers who continue to swim upstream in otherworldly waters. Kudos to all of you.

I can't wait to hear Fombonne, Offit and the other medi-shysters say it is because of old monkey dads making the monkey babies watch too much T.V.

Our maybe the monkey moms had jobs or weren't loving enough....

Or my favorite, the difference between the two groups was just a coincidence.

Whatever it is, I will look forward to seeing them squirm while they try to explain this study!

The horror! Look at the recommended immunization schedule for persons ages 0 through 6 years.

http://aapredbook.aappublications.org/resources/IZSchedule0-6yrs.pdf

“the research team has already identified delayed acquisition of vital brainstem reflexes in infants exposed to the thimerosal-containing hepatitis B vaccine on the first day of life, compared with unvaccinated animals.”

It seems insane to be jabbing newborns with known neurotoxins before their blood-brain barrier has become functionally competent.

Shouldn't we have seen this coming? Our trust has been misplaced.

This group might consider also looking into quantitative cerebral perfusion imaging comparing fully vaccinated (per schedule) versus unvaccinated. They MIGHT also identify microvascular cerebral ischemia and infarctions. Along the same lines, it is conceivable that magnetic resonance imaging, with the right pulse sequence and magnetic field gradients, can be employed to study the same or similar cerebrovascular and functional phenomena, comparing fully vaccinated versus unvaccinated.

It may also be feasible to study the pharmacokinetic effect of the vaccine schedules on brain and heart function and perfusion. For example, why were there reports of thrombotic and cardioembolic events shortly after Gardasil administration? The aluminum is prothrombotic. Maybe, Aluminum-26 can be imaged with either SPECT or PET techniques.

Maybe inflammatory cytokines and macrophages could be imaged and quantitated, looking for evidence of systemic innate immune activation.

I'm sure that Pharma's legion of shills and denialists are already planning how to "spin" this work.

Look for Dr. Offit and Dr. Thorsen

to soon head to Africa to do a "population study" of primates, and debunk the real science....

They are world class debunkers...

Thanks for this information and thank you to Dr. Wakefield and all those who are performing this research, doing the CDC's, the FDA's job in their stead!

Devastating. Especially to my son.

The genie is officially out of the bottle.

The only physician I have had contact with who was willing to speculate a relationship between autism and vaccination was my daughter's neurologist. Bravo for their courage in publishing this!

These scans look remarkably simular to some scans of the brains of people with Asperger's Syndrome. I found some pics that compared the aspie brain with the regular functioning brain for a workshop I did a year ago.

I remember reading about an inflamed area of the brain, towrards the back. It is interesting how nearly identical Aspergers and Autism are in the scans. It's baffling, how much a slight difference can mean. It makes me wonder what small difference causes oen to have AS instead of full blown autism.

My mom once had a theory thatthose with full blown autism may have originally had AS, which made them more likely to be injured by foriegn toxins. And those toxins pushed them off the AS edge and into Autism.

I can't say I agree with her. I've had another thought. In my family, there is a history on bot my mom and dad's side of siezures. My mom has absent siezures, something nearly impossible to detech and my dad had regular epilepsy. It made me wonder if those who have a history of siezure activity or inherit this from parents may be more likely to be damaged by vaccines.

If so, it would mean those with family history of siezures should be not taking the vaccine gospel!!
