ADHD, caused by too much TV and video games. Then when you give you kid a book like in a classroom, the lack of blinking lights and immediate satisfaction aren't nearly as exciting as Donkey Kong.
Juvinlie Diabetes, not feeding your kid right. McDonalds is convienent, and I know you have to get to your yoga class, but feeding your offspring correctly and developing good easting habbits early is pretty important too.
Too many allergies? Stop using hand sanitizer on everything, your immune system has to develop just like a muscle. If it doesn't get this chance, then it is going to freak out and act like everything is deadly.
And Asthma? Well I just think that a widespread measles outbreak is a hell of a lot worse than Asthma. Ask Jerome Bettis.
Edwin Trevathan is not an honest man. A simple pubmed.com search turns up studies that show that thimerosal and aluminum, both in vaccines, are known to cause mitochondrial disorders.
I will just list three of each:
Thimerosal induces neuronal cell apoptosis by causing cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor release from mitochondria.
Mitochondrial mediated thimerosal-induced apoptosis in a human neuroblastoma cell line (SK-N-SH).
Biochemical and molecular basis of thimerosal-induced apoptosis in T cells: a major role of mitochondrial pathway.
Aluminum impairs rat neural cell mitochondria in vitro.
Peri-nuclear clustering of mitochondria is triggered during aluminum maltolate induced apoptosis.
Aluminum-induced mitochondrial dysfunction leads to lipid accumulation in human hepatocytes: a link to obesity.
... and if they were "anti-vaccinists", wouldn't they say the case argues for giving NO vaccines at each visit? Hmmmm...
And if you have so much knowledge and disagree with us on the cause of autism--what is the cause then?????? Seems you have no answer.
Your comments are horribly out of date and will no longer fit the present situation in the vaccine controversy.
We will never go away until the governments admits its mistaakes and helps our already sick children and stops this vaccine lunacy.
Onward and Upward.

Thimerosal looks like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Thiomersal-2...
In the brain, mercury interferes with the development of neuronal cells. This can lead to "mitochondrial fatigue" certainly. The actual science here can be seen at http://www.nature.com/mp/journal/v9/n9/abs/4001...
What the science indicates is that some individuals are probably more sensitive to mercury poisoning than others, and these individuals are indeed at high risk from thimerosal injections due to the neurotoxic effects of mercury.
However, there are many other routes of mercury poisoning that may be far more important than vaccines - namely eating fish, but also living near a coal-fired power plant and breathing the air. However, the only accessible lawsuit target here is the thimerosal manufacturers, thus the focus on that. The primary source of mercury pollution is coal combustion.
So, get your facts straight, please.
good stuff!
I liked that even though you pointed out there is mercury in the preservative, which is a neurotoxin, that coal burning and even eating fish are "routes of mercury poisoning that may be far more important than vaccines".
As thimerosal maybe be a problem in some cases, clearly we have bigger things to worry about. If the best that could be done at the time was thimerosal, and It prevented thousands of deaths, but gave a few people autism, potentially, what is really the greater good?
People see that the drug companies have money, and in this time of economic turmoil, they want a piece of the pie. But the price is making people scared of vaccines that have advanced western medicine and mankind alike.
You make one good point and one ignorant one. First, even if vaccinating America's kids with mercury-containing vaccines triggered autism in some kids, those programs may nevertheless be defensible given the overall greater good. I understand, as do other parents of autistic kids, the utilitarian argument. But that merely points out the inherent conflict in the system: the government needs to reassure parents that there is no link between mercury and autism in order to induce parents to vaccinate their children. That society overall is better off because we have a mass vaccination program does not mean that any individual is not worse off.
Second, you are totally off base about this issue being a draw for money-grubbing tort victims. Claims must be filed with the special vaccine court, which is very slow to rule and only rarely sides with the claimants. Indeed, the potential legal relief is so laughable that I don't know anybody who has filed a claim, even among lawyers with autistic kids I know. And that includes me.
If you want to posit that the vaccine program is still a net benefit to society, as was the polio vaccine system despite the fact that people very, very rarely got polio from the vaccine, then feel free. But don't accuse those -- like me -- who think their autistic kids were a casualty of that system of bad faith or ambulance chasing. You have no frickin' clue. Chris Thomas, Phoenix, AZ
Numerous studies have proven the link between all of the disorders and illness mentioned in the article. Unfortunately, we are told there is "still no scientific evidence" at this time. What a crock of BS!!
Calling us all anti-vaccine doesn't work here. If we were anti-vaccine, we wouldn't be arguing for FEWER VACCINES EACH VISIT, we'd be arguing for none.
You're tripping yourself up, Arthur.
I was so enjoying the first couple of chapters of your book and was getting ready to tell you when I came upon this article above. Unfortunately, you have misquoted me and made a couple of rather significant errors. First, I did not testify at a hearing-this was a working group meeting for vaccine safety in which i was allowed to make what was to be a 5 minute "comment." Second, in speaking, I cannot imagine that I would have made a distinction between the vaccines "causing" and "triggering" the mitochondrial to fail. What is the difference? In fact, what I said was that the vaccines triggered her Autism. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, I did say that you would not be able to see the currently known biological markers of mitochondrial dsyfuntion prior to the vaccinations, IF the vaccination caused/triggered the dysfunction. However, you certainly could find the markers after the vaccines if it caused mitochondrial dsyfunction. So, before and after studies on a suspectible population, say for example siblings of known children with autism/mitochondrial dysfunction? I think there are possibilities afterall. Terry Poling
Sorry to make a generalization about all people involved in cases against faulty vaccines, but do you think I am wrong in saying that as soon as some people jump into suits, there are going to be a bunch more who want to ride in the bandwagon also? Especially if they see some sort of monetary gain coming from it.

Read some about the measles here: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs286...
---
It is estimated that in 2006 the measles caused 27 deaths every hour. And that's with the vaccine. The measles is also one of the most contagious diseases known.
Not really, given the nature of the national vaccine injury compensation program, which doesn't exactly create an attractive forum for filing meritless claims in the hopes of getting bought off. Vaccine makers generally can't be sued in regular courts, so would-be plaintiffs can't seek the sympathetic ear of a state court jury as is commonly the case with toxic tort cases. Further, the apparent removal of thimerosol from childhood vaccines and the deadlines for making claims in the vaccine court further reduces any risk of a "bandwagon." And I'm not sure that it's fair to characterize the rare damage award for acknowledged harm as "monetary gain." There's no reason to believe that the vaccine court is a pro-plaintiff forum that will provide windfalls to plaintiffs with bogus claims.
That said, I give you this, "A single vaccine given to a 6 b infant is the equivalent of giving a 180lb Adult, 30 vaccines in one day."- Dr Boyd Haley
Homeland Security, Sections 1714, 1715,1716, and 1717, protect companies like Eli Lilly from lawsuits by removing liability for any injuries that might result of any vaccines they manfacture.
From the cdc, "common" ingredients, found in vaccines, ALUMINUM, ANTIBIOTICS,EGG PROTEIN, FORMALDEHYDE,MSG and THIMEROSAL.
A great souce of news wwww.naturalnews.com Mike Adams is on the front lines. I belong to a blog on yahoo no-forced-vaccines.
www.tacanow.org is Jenny Mc Carthy's site, and her book Louder Than Words, of which the powers that be do not admit her son's recovery from autism. She and Jim Cary will march on Washington, June 4[check] asking to GREEN our VACCINES.

I feel sorry for you. If the only sources of your facts involving the vaccine controversy come from WHO, the CDC, the AAP, the NIH or any other agency that stands to profit from the sale of vaccines and the diseases THEY DO cause...then you are sadly misinformed. I however, obtain my "facts" from unbiased, well-documented studies which these same agencies have dismissed. Why? They stand to lose money if the studies prove to be valid. So, who will I end up believing in the long run? The poor scientist that doesn't stand to gain anything by his findings.
My son now with Autism developed normally until the day after his shots. That day he started to push his head into the floor and stopped speaking. medical view - some sort of ideosyncratic behaviour. Right. Test done at this time to see what was happening....none.
Can you convince me this was a coincidence. No.
I am still looking for double blind study comparing a vaccinated group useing all the vaccines injected into my son vs a non vaccinated group.
I note the CDC are not confident enough to reference any of their advice. The make generalised statements without scientific backup. No wonder people are sceptical! Why don't they have the courage to tell us that these types of studies have not been done and their advice is based upon their "professional judgement".
How can they go on giving advice without the data to back it up!
I am not against vaccination but we need to do better research.
The NIH has NEVER conducted any autism studies of the UNVACCINATED...yet they issue reams of false propaganda stating that there's no link between autism and vaccines..... they are being dishonest under the cover of "science" and only good investigative journalists can share the truth with the public -- to rectify this sad situation. The Amish do not vaccinate their children and autism is almost nonexistant in their communities, as reported by their doctors. The NIH just ignores this important evidence and continues LYING about vaccines--- and reporters gobble up the misinformation..
Paul Mead has lied to the public on many occasions regarding LYMERIX-- the damaging vaccine for Lyme disease. This vaccine was never withdrawn due to "lack of demand" (as stated by Paul Mead) -- it was withdrawn because it DAMAGED thousands of people. NIH's Paul Mead is thus a LIAR, and in the pocket of the big drug companies who will stop at nothing to peddle their poisons even it results in a life time of damage to children.
Journalists like Arthur Allen are part and parcel to the LIE when they unthinkingly reprint press releases without asking further questions and doing in depth research as a check to government "propaganda" designed to protect the rear ends of NIH officials. The NYT and Washington Post should be ashamed of their reporting!
When journalists fail to properly invetigate government's statements---- we get tyranny ---as government officials are bought off by big pharma--- and untold suffering is the result of these lies.
Scientists may be intelligent --- but they are not necessarily moral individuals--- and good journalism should keep them in check.
Sadly, good journalism is now a thing of the past...
"FDA warns Merck about Vaccine plant problems" {Reuters] This is a FDA letter of finding
"significant objectional conditions" during an inspection beginning 11-07 and ending 1-08, in a plant that makes Gardasil. And yes some girls are experiencing health issues after receiving this "wonder" vaccine.
"It is not the Scientist who has the best product but the Scientist who puts on the best show" and haven't we American's used that as a measure for too long about far too many things?
While not ever child develops Autism as a result of vaccines, and reports put this at 1 in 150 children, why do we allow 5 vaccines at once and thus make it even more difficult to pin point the one that could be responsible for a specific ailment.
I read recently that children can develope speaking issues, per vaccines, and I wept. It was an ah ha moment. I have been researching very dilligently, as I had a 2nd child who did not speak[as to be understood by others] and I requested he be tested. His doctor say he was young, just to let it go, but I insisted and we found he had a severe disfunction and required intense therapy. I then recalled shortly before his 1st month of life, he was ill,high temperture ect, classic, after vaccine symtoms, and I think it is very possible that the speech issue was related to his sensitivity to a substance in his vaccine. CALL it a HUNCH. Whatever, same kid complained of a tummy ache at age 3, and after 3 days, I took him to his doctor, who found NOTHING. But to humor me he kept him in the hospital, and was going to open him up the next day to explore. He brilliantly began with his appendix, and my son was full of infection, having blown his appendix, 3 days before! 9 days later we went home with an open draining incesion, and a doctore who was taken with his brillant choice. As this kids MOM, I knew he was very ill. When science understands nature and nurture, we will all be better off.
Before there were vaccines, there were epidemics, people did die. Since vaccines, people are left with life long diabilities, and we all suffer with that economicaly. It is is devestating to the MOM and DAD, and could possibly be averted if a TRUE understanding was known to those who are in the power positions.
Check out www.healthfreedomus.org. The web is NOT a bad thing unless you take the first report as gospel. Research evokes many searches, before confirmation is made, and the puzzel pieces fall into place.
For those who place no value on human life and life long suffering, vaccines, a "one size fits all" is a "good thing" How sad , for our children.
It seemed to me that the vaccine for chicken pox was more designed to be marketable than to prevent any real health risk. Especially when you factor in that people who are given the chicken pox vaccine may be at greater risk for shingles later in life.
I am not sure how much this adds to the "vaccines cause autism" debate but I think it is an example of non health related concerns leading to a needless shot, that might do more harm than good.
