I am so freaked out by autism. I became consumed with it while I was pregnant. My son is now 13 weeks old and is such a sweet baby. My husband and I agreed no vaccines for him. No vaccines at birth, no vaccines at 1 month appt. Then we finally get to meet the pediatrician at his 2 month appt. We tell her we are not vaccinating EVER. Well she looks at us like we are complete fools and that we don't love our baby. She gives us a lecture on how he can get a cold from us and end up in the ER dying. This "discussion" goes on for a good 15 minutes. In the mean time I am thinking holy crap what if he does get sick and dies?? So anyone my husband and I falter &amp;amp; we "allow" 2 shots. He ended up with the Dtap &amp;amp; pneumococcal conjugate vaccines. I cried the whole time we were there and the rest of the day. I new it was wrong but i seriously thought she was going to call the cops if we didn't vaccinate him. He was not his normal self for 2 days, very sleepy. I was and still am so pissed that I allowed this. We both agreed to not let anyone bully us EVER AGAIN. &lt;br&gt;I guess I am freaked out that these 2 shots are going to cause him to become autistic. I feel like a horrible mother and I have seriously not slept in 5 weeks because I am afraid he will die or become ill because of this. It is so scary that a lot of things given or consumed by babies are toxic, toys, bottles...We have switched him to glass bottles, cloth diapers, filtered water so he doesn't get fluoride (he is formula fed, I couldn't BF)&lt;br&gt;I feel so uninformed with so much. I have made an appt for him with a homeopatic doctor next week so I can be in better control of his health.&lt;br&gt;Do u think he is in danger from those 2 shots?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=98594" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Origins of Autism</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/05/14/Origins-of-Autism.aspx#98593</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Jun 2007 23:13:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:98593</guid><dc:creator>B.

These factors often combine with a lack of Colostrum at birth to build the immune system to fight fungal and viral infections, the use of soy formulas (high in copper, manganese and plant estrogen) and the early introduction of sugars and carbohydrates that feed the yeast and viral infections. While the child may seem healthy from all outside appearances, the stage has been set for autism.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style=""&gt;&lt;SPAN style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;A series of vaccinations containing toxic mercury and aluminum add to the amounts of toxic metals already inherited from the mother and father. The combined result is that the brain and nervous system stop functioning as they should. For most of the children who, at birth, are "normal, bright, high functioning little beings," the measles mumps and rubella vaccine takes them over the edge. The measles virus mutates, the body's undeveloped immune system has no resistance to this combination of three viruses and the gut lining becomes infected, a condition that is not detected since it cannot be seen. That's why following this vaccination, some children develop a fever, act ill and begin the steady decline into autism. Sadly, all this could, and still can be, prevented.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=98593" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Origins of Autism</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/05/14/Origins-of-Autism.aspx#98592</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Jun 2007 23:10:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:98592</guid><dc:creator>B.

I have been on sites where people are just putting down parents who try things outside of the "typical realm" of modern medicine.&amp;nbsp; I read of one lady thinking it was so awful that some parents had to hold their autistic girl down to give her a chelation shot.&amp;nbsp; That it was too gruesome and awful to think about and how could that little girl ever sleep in her bed again!&amp;nbsp; I say, how do you know that the parents did not talk to her kindly and explain that they wanted to help her get well, and then give her a hug afterwards and tell them how proud they were of her.&amp;nbsp; With all the things we tried on ours, I suppose he could hate us, but he just loves and trusts us and asks us "what else can we do, mom to help get rid of seizures?" He knows he is loved!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;The same person that has a hang-up would take their child to the hospital with cancer and let them inject chemo, watch the hair fall out, watch them throw up, waste away and perhaps die and would call the med practice "a hero!" &lt;br&gt;Thank you, Minnie-me for your delightful comments&amp;nbsp;about my blog! You are a real encouragement and made my day! I guess I will keep writing. Looking forward to what more you have to share, along with others!&lt;br&gt;I am so glad to hear about how DAN is helping your young grandson, Noah and others that are older.&amp;nbsp; I have always heard about the younger the child is the more likely they can get help, but to hear that anyone can get help is a real inspiration!

Women who are in child bearing years were injected with thimersol as children and adults, and sometimes even while pregnant.&lt;br&gt;2. Some women were exposed to more inoculations now than ever in the past due to military service, travel, rh incompatibilies while pregnant, labor inducement - I'm sure there are more.&lt;br&gt;3. Mercury from amalgam dental fillings and / or mercury detoxification for the Mother is not even recommended prior to planned families. Most women have no idea that this might even be a factor in their childs development.&lt;br&gt;4. And, our environment in increasingly more polluted.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm not a physician, but to isolate and rule out thimersol when the evidence is so clear seems too simple - and it certainly isn't yielding results. &lt;strong&gt;It's just my opinion, but I think we are passing it on to our children because we are toxic ourselves - the only difference is that we became toxic after our neuro pathways and immune systems had a chance to develop.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=98581" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Origins of Autism</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/05/14/Origins-of-Autism.aspx#98578</link><pubDate>Thu, 31 May 2007 20:27:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:98578</guid><dc:creator>Rebecca Carley MD</dc:creator><description>Autism is subacute sclerosing panencephalitis from the measles vaccine;
they changed the name to autism and made it a mental illness to hide
the true cause.&amp;nbsp; The measles antibody causes demyelination, as
explained in my documents on www.drcarley.com; my response to the CDC
therein actually quotes what SSPE is from the medical bible, Harrison's
which med students all over the world study to learn "internal
medicine" (which my work proves is essentially all vaccine induced
diseases)..&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Mercury is toxic, and it has no business being in vaccines or amalgam
fillings.&amp;nbsp; But the reason there are so many out there touting
mercury as the cause of autism is because they want everyone to beLIEve
that if they take the mercury out, the vaccines will be safe.&amp;nbsp; A
bigger lie has never been told.&amp;nbsp; The very mechanism by which
inoculations corrupt the immune system leads to all autoimmune disease
and cancer.&amp;nbsp; Go to www.bbsradio.com and listen to the archive of
"What's Ailing America?" on 5/24/07, where Dr. Patricia Jordan talks
about what vaccines are doing to pets; causing cancers at the
inoculation sites, etc.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I have reversed all autoimmune diseases (including autism) and cancer
with the protocol I developed, which detoxifies vaccine viruses and
other toxins which cause dis-ease by overwhelming the immune
system.&amp;nbsp; I have offered a $10,000 reward for any vaccine promoter
to come on my internet radio show and prove my documents wrong.&amp;nbsp; A
year later...nothing but deafening silence.&lt;br&gt;
