Trust. Autism Environment Vaccines... The spectrum of cause must be looked for.
- Posted on 06.24.09
Borrowed from LJM - DAD
Smoking doesn’t cause health issues
Secondhand Smoke is harmless
Asbestos is a miracle product with no health issues
Agent Orange has no effect on Vietnam Vets
No such thing as Gulf War Syndrome
Love Canal is a safe place to live
DDT is safe to use all the time
PCP’s are safe left buried in the Hudson River
Seatbelts are unnecessary and won’t save lives
There was no release at Three Mile Island amd it was nothing to worry about.
Not to mention we went to war because of “Weapons of Mass Destruction”….NOT!
These just few positions backed up by research supported by the Federal Government and the big industry behind each of these products. So pardon me if I have my doubts about some of the studies.
As I have said I still believe in vaccines and understand the other side of the coin is at best a horrible situation but believe we need to look deeper and another of Dr. Marie Bristol-Powers statements was “There will be no Silver Bullet cure for Autism”. Just as our children are all over the spectrum, we should be looking for a variety of causes for the condition.
A common area that appears to be worthy is the immune system compromise and that might explain why the diet helps in some individuals and why environmental exposure to household chemicals, as you state, might be part of the problem.
I will close with the fact that people are debating, discussing, and talking about the Autism issues is a step in the right direction. When my son was diagnosed there were 7 children in district with Autism today there are 54. The NJ Star Ledger has had a series of articles this week and the numbers they report should be scaring everyone especially our elected officials who will be faced with demands for services and assistance the likes they have not seen before.

What can you do today...
If you are a parent... Love your child unconditionally. Do not let your child feel they are any less because they cannot communicate the way we do or look after themselves. Do not forget to look after yourself and your significant other. ( If you don't have one find one...There is someone out there for everyone. You deserved to be loved also). Join a church. Speak to your friends. Keep up the good fight.
If you are Friend... If you have resources please consider supporting Generation Rescue as they move the agenda towards services and support programs. If you do not have financial resources provide respite services... Babysit, go with a parent to the grocery store, or running errands. Be there to listen.
If you are in the medical community it is time to wake up and do something...
If you are in the insurance industry it is time to make the people responsible pay...
if you are in the media it time to tell the truth...
If you are in the government it is time act...
If you are in education it is time to educate...
If you are in a religious community it is time to rally the troops to support families...
If you are involved in a Autism group please invite them to join the Move to Heal Autism By 2030 (MTHA)
If you are in the New York City Office of Autism Speaks... remember that $50,000 you took from my community this fall could have helped to pay for my sons therapy this year.
If you are in contact with amanda peet and have a child with Autism invite her over to experience our lives first hand and but out of our childrens and the future of others children.
If you are impacted by autism (that means you are part of the human race) Join me in the fight. Join causecast with your own cause or mine. Make a difference in our world. now. State your change! Then make it happen.
If you happen to have some sleeping pills, sleep ideas for children with autism, or want to come spend the night let me know.... I need a nap.
Say a prayer for all those dealing or not dealing with their "Autism Like" conditions.
