VACCINES AND AUTISM
VACCINES AND AUTISM
For many years there has been a lot of discussion of the possible causative effects of the childhood vaccines. Much of the focus of past years has been on the issue of thimerosal, a preservative agent used in the vaccines. I think one of the main confusions at this point is the apparent inability of those viewing the argument, from either side, to separate the issues of thimerosal and the 'vaccines' themselves.
Age of Autism: An American Classic
Most of the time the autism community moves ahead in small steps, but other times we make great strides. So it is with the publication of Olmsted and Blaxill’s seminal work, The Age of Autism: Mercury, Medicine, and a Man-made Epidemic. Today, we take a giant stride forward.
Tracing the destruction caused by mercury in medicine throughout the centuries, Olmsted and Blaxill deconstruct modern-day arguments that rest on shoddy science and manipulative semantics. Clearly written and rigorously annotated, Olmsted and Blaxill’s work is chilling in the truths it uncovers.

“There are, I think, several factors which contribute to wisdom. Of these, I should put first a sense of proportion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and attach to each its due weight.”

OSR#1: Industrial chemical or autism treatment?
Uh-Oh! The Chicago Tribune is at it again!! I'm not sure if I would use this product with my daughter, but I'm really annoyed that the Chicago Tribune continues to bash biomed and outright lie about it (heavy metal toxicity in these kids is scientifically unfounded?! Really? I've got the results of a very scientific urine test of my 9 yr old showing ungodly amounts of aluminum!) Also, "the mercury that USED to be in childhood vaccines"?! Try, the mercury that is STILL in childhood vaccines! The vaccines all received exemptions here in Illinois!!
