There's a witch hunt brewing against those who don't vaccinate

[birthday]

Your insinuation here that these people are making money off this is particularly odious to me!

When in fact making money is and has been the main perogative of the (so far) mainly unchallenged drug companies all this time.

For shame!

There are no drug treatments for autism. So the Pharma giants dont pick up here.

What does exist is a whole mini-industry of quacks who offer unsubstantiated alternative 'treatments' for autism. From my experience they charge quite handsomely for it.
They market all sorts of alternative pills and therapies without any independent research to show
a) any scientific basis for their use
b) any effectiveness
That is where the disgrace lies.
There is no 'cure' for autism.
Insane theories like 'chelation' therapy that have killed children.
I do have a personal interest in this area by the way and I am not at all pleased with your attempt to turn this back on me when it is self-evident that it is the quacks who are making the money.
I am also fully aware of not for voluntary organisations in this jurisdiction that do stirling work for children with autism and their families. They earn nothing for their efforts and offer no quack treatments or slimy American 'cures'.

Are There Medications for Autism?
No medication can cure autism.

That said, however, there are a variety of drugs that treat selected symptoms that may or may not be part of a particular individual's autism. For example, some individuals with autism are extremely anxious, and thus may be prescribed an antidepressant such as Zoloft or Prozac

Before anyone slavishly elects to take the swineflu vaccine, at least read the official insert from the vaccine makers to inform yourself on what you're letting yourself in for:

http://www.fluscam.com/Vaccine_Packa..._UCM182242.pdf


Reading the above; you'll realise that you're putting yourself at risk of guillain-barre syndrome, anaphylactic shock, vasculitis, and last but not least......death.

Not to mention:

The following is a list of some of the very nasty side effects that the vaccine package insert admits to.....

*Local injection site reactions (including pain, pain limiting limb movement, redness, swelling, warmth, ecchymosis, induration)
*Hot flashes/flushes
*Chills
*Fever
*Malaise
*Shivering
*Fatigue
*Asthenia
*Facial edema.
*Immune system disorders
*Hypersensitivity reactions (including throat and/or mouth edema)
*In rare cases, hypersensitivity reactions have lead to anaphylactic shock and death
*Cardiovascular disorders
*Vasculitis (in rare cases with transient renal involvement)
*Syncope shortly after vaccination
*Digestive disorders
*Diarrhea
*Nausea
*Vomiting
*Abdominal pain.
*Blood and lymphatic disorders
*Local lymphadenopathy
*Transient thrombocytopenia.
*Metabolic and nutritional disorders
*Loss of appetite.
*Arthralgia
*Myalgia
*Myasthenia
*Nervous system disorders
*Headache
*Dizziness
*Neuralgia
*Paraesthesia
*Febrile convulsions
*Guillain-Barré Syndrome
*Myelitis (including encephalomyelitis and transverse myelitis)
*Neuropathy (including neuritis)
*Paralysis (including Bell’s Palsy)
*Respiratory disorders
*Dyspnea
*Chest pain
*Cough
*Pharyngitis
*Rhinitis
*Stevens-Johnson syndrome
*Pruritus
*Urticaria
*Rash (including non-specific, maculopapular, and vesiculobulbous).

If you read the contraindications for any medicinal product you will find a similar list. I include in this such life changing drugs as aspirin, penicillin and the smallpox vaccine. Drug companies are mandated to include every single possible contraindication even if it affected only 1 single person out of 1 billion users. This in itself is not a reason to avoid taking a medicinal product under medical supervision.

Cheers Rhonda.

Actually in the case of young claire; her parents go to a Jenny McCarthy clinic in Detroit everyday. They're also having great results from oral chelation treatment.

chelation-is that not dangerous quackery??

Boy with autism dies after chelation therapy - Autism: The Hidden Epidemic?- msnbc.com

Dangerous quackery for whom? the drug companies who would lose out on drug sales?

Many parents have had success with this treatment - why not go tell them face to face what treatment they may try or may not try?

Boy with autism dies after chelation therapy - Autism: The Hidden Epidemic?- msnbc.com

according to the article:

Abubakar Tariq Nadama, 5, had received his third treatment of chelation therapy at a doctor’s office Tuesday before going into cardiac arrest, said Deputy Coroner Larry Barr.

The staff at Dr. Roy E. Kerry’s office performed CPR on the boy, but he was later pronounced dead in a hospital, Barr said. More tests would be needed to determine the cause of death, he said.

The boy’s mother, Marwa Nadama, said she didn’t blame the therapy, but was waiting for test results.



It is well known also that autistic children can have many accompanying underlying health issues.

Shame on you for trying to spin this like the chelation therapy was to blame - when the facts are not even out yet.

Here's a follow up
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
A 5-year-old autistic boy who went into cardiac arrest in his doctor's office died as a result of the controversial chelation therapy he was receiving as a treatment for his autism.


Loony quackpottery needs to be discouraged.

none of your assertions above have been proven definitively

i despise people who spin things like they are this or that when they are anything but

[Illustro]

chelation-is that not dangerous quackery??

Nope, that's entrenched ignorance speaking. Chelation covers a wide span of data and usage.

Anti-biotics are chelators of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. Chelators are commonly used industrially in water treatment programs and in food preservation.

I get intravenese chelation for longevity and general health once a month. I haven't been sick for 15 years. Fortunately for me, i'm already aware that my genetic code is already wired to automatically defend me against invading microorganisms. I don't need pharmaceutical company's to make my body work.

Knowingly injecting squalene, SV 40 and thermasol into your bloodstream is blatent quackery.
