Funny thing, this, the whole hullabaloo about the 'cinnamon challenge' came out just as information about the age-old flu remedy of honey and cinnamon began spreading on the internet. They wouldn't want people to discover a natural flu remedy just as they were launching their annual vaccine-induced flu epidemic, now would they?

Thanks for posting the MIT glyphosate paper. I think too, that vaccines are the major culprit, but that we are all getting hit from all sides environmentally, with young and old the most vulnerable. But let's not fool ourselves, while the rate of childhood diseases is increasing, middle aged adults aren't very healthy either, with rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes and autoimmune diseases skyrocketing. Jeffrey Smith of the Institute for Responsible Technology has been reporting on the hazards of glyphosates for years, especially with regard to GM technology. FYI, this week, John and Ocean Robbins, are hosting their second annual online "Food Revolution Summit", which is free http://www.foodrevolution.org/summit#.UX2hBbWsh8E. Jeffrey Smith was interviewed today. I listened in last year and it was excellent.

Benedetta, I agree, I have no doubts that vaccines have caused this new epidemic of regressive autism, however, as that paper suggests, this dangerous omnipresent pesticide may factor in "somewhere" for many. It mentions mitochondrial disruption,which in some cases may set the stage for vaccine induced autism. It mentions the change in bowel flora.. I will continue to not vaccinate, my youngest has never had a vaccine, yet he's surely had his share of glyphosate exposure through corn products in most everything we eat. I feel guaranteed he will not develop autism unless he gets a vaccine. BTW, I have seen autism develop in a five year old who was vaccinated late, it happens..yet because he was five he was diagnosed pddnos...too late for autism?
A quote from ..http://nobull.mikecallicrate.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/GlyModern-diseaseSamsel-Seneff-13.pdf
"These include digestive issues, obesity, autism, Alzheimer’s disease,
depression, Parkinson’s disease, liver diseases, and cancer, among others. While many other
environmental toxins obviously also contribute to these diseases and conditions, we believe that
glyphosate may be the most significant environmental toxin, mainly because it is pervasive and it is
often handled carelessly due to its perceived nontoxicity."

My kids reacted to their vaccines way before this stuff came out.
THey were about 12 years old when my Dad brings his sprayer to our farm and says this beats you out there weedeating miles and miles of fence.

So back to the theory of each generation being more and more vaccinated, and building on to more and more something.

Must be all those pharma drugs Snyderman's addicted to..... what a loon!

Well, then, I guess I had better hide the humongous container of cinnamon I purchased at Costco from my vaccine damaged children. I can just see them with their oral sensory issues taking a large tablespoon and scooping the cinnamon out of the container to shove it willingly into their mouths. What a frightening danger that cinnamon poses to them!

Just when you start to think poisons like mercury, aluminum, and all manner of excipients are a big problem, Dr. Nancy comes and sets the record straight about what is truly dangerous. What a blessing that Dr. Nancy is!

At least they now ask,

"are you allergic to mercury or aluminum?" when you get your flu shot...

Have they placed the odds on the need for a special H7N9 bird flu shot for 2013 ?

Thank goodness we NOW KNOW "Autism is a plecenta problem" that shows up at about 18 months and causes head banging and diarrhea, these scientists are so amazing...

and we have Dr. Nancy to explain it all...

Aw, doesn't Nancy know anything by now? If it really was that dangerous, they'd be mandating it for newborns.

Perhaps there is another motive in Dr. Nancy's piece: to undermine our trust in foods and other natural substances that can heal us. Cinnamon is a superstar in regulating blood sugar and provides a very cheap and accessible tool for diabetics and those with pre-diabetes to help regulate their blood sugar. But of course the AAP and the drug industry wouldn't want anyone to think that food could heal nor that people might be able to treat themselves. No, treatment is strictly the purview of trained professionals from the AAP armed with the weapons of the drug industry. And of course there is the money. Not much money for the AAP or drug industry in people buying cinnamon.

McCormick and other spice companies have studies to prove that is was not too much cinnamon causing the gage reflex, but the teens own fingers administering the cinnamon to the throat.

Alan D Wilson CEO of MaCormick says it is not the spice companies fault that these kids have long fingers and short throats.

Katie:

I hope Cinnamon Disease Control (CDC) points out that the "Cinnamon Challenge" has nothing to do with ingesting too much cinnamon. The behavior of these children is puzzling. The Cinnamon Challenge may appear to be on the rise but it's just really more awareness and better diagnosing. Dr. Paul Offit insists young people can have thousands of doses of it in one shot with no ill effects. However, pregnant mothers shouldn't eat fish who may have toxic levels of cinnamon in their systems. Dental work due to eating cinnamon hard candy should be avoided during pregnancy.

And this went out on Reuters yesterday: "Health groups said on Thursday they could rid the world of polio by 2018 with a $5.5 billion vaccination and monitoring plan to stop the disease taking hold once more now there are only a handful of cases worldwide."
How about sending that $5.5 billion towards autism? I think there are more than a handful of cases of that worldwide.

I think we need a major shift in priorities.
