I know exactly what mercury poisoning is, and what it's symptoms are, thank you very much. I assume you've checked on how much mercury is required to produce these symptoms? [as I have]

you will see many parents doing Chelation therapy, an experimental very expensive procedure

Yes, I will - in many cases without any evidence whatsoever that their children HAVE heavy metal poisoning. Its called "grasping at straws". [P.S.- if the child is already displaying symptoms of autism,it would seem rather a pointless exercise, would it not?]

Now, what is the SOURCE of the "high levels of mercury" in SOME, not all, autistic children, particularly since the amount of mercuric compound once and no longer used in the vaccinations you irrationally condemn is so infinetesimal that it could in no way produce "high levels of mercury" in their blood if thet were vaccinated eavch and every day for a year...

Mercury poisoning (also known as hydrargyria or mercurialism) is a disease caused by exposure to mercury or its compounds. Mercury (chemical symbol Hg) is a heavy metal that occurs in several forms, all of which can produce toxic effects in high enough doses. Its zero oxidation state Hg0 exists as vapor or as liquid metal, its mercurous state Hg+ exists as inorganic salts, and its mercuric state Hg2+ may form either inorganic salts or organomercury compounds; the three groups vary in effects. Toxic effects include damage to the brain, kidney, and lungs.[1] Mercury poisoning can result in several diseases, including acrodynia (pink disease), Hunter-Russell syndrome, and Minamata disease.[2]

Symptoms typically include sensory impairment (vision, hearing, speech), disturbed sensation and a lack of coordination. The type and degree of symptoms exhibited depend upon the individual toxin, the dose, and the method and duration of exposure.

If you study autism you will see many parents doing Chelation therapy, an experimental very expensive procedure to remove heavy metals from the child's bloodstream. High mercury levels in the blood of an autistic child is not at all uncommon and is one of the things many docs look for. And the shots contain mercury.

Our autistic son is now 22. When he was 8 we were investigating lots of different approaches, one of which was diet. We went to visit one of the top specialists in the country on allergy/intolerance. After a number of tests, he said that he'd discovered that he'd got mercury in his bloodstream and prescribed a course of selenium to chase it out.
This was a few years before the "mercury" theory appeared.

you are absolutely right in the change of definition of the disorder. I read once that if we applied the 1970 standard to today's rate it would not be 1 out of 150 but more like 1 out of 400 .. still incredibly high from 1 out of 10,000 as in 1970 .. something sure has changed with our children, and that has to be extended across nations not just the US. We are left with only questions. Hence it is reasonable for people to ask and question the safety of a new vaccine introduced since then since it is a common thread across nations. In the past when polio was the scourge, it affected 1 out of 2500 kids. This nation when to war to end polio .. why not such an effort to find and eliminate Autism? Go figure

Individual cases, while painful, may still not add up to statistical significance. If you seem to have a collection of them in a single family or location, that would seem to militate for other causes.

And, as mentioned above, correlation is not causation. We are complex genetically arranged animals.

If autism is genetically caused, that implies that, once an "autism gene" is found, there may be a virus that can reverse it.

I find it interesting that the initial, fraudulent, report was based on 12 cases. Larger studies have failed to support the data from the study.

The nature of the scientific method is replicability. If you cannot replicate it, it is not valid.

Having been a psychologist [not currently] and statistician for more than 20 years, I have watched the DSM [Diagnostic and Statistical Manual] expand from a small booklet to a rather hefty book. There are diagnoses for disorders which did not even begin to be classified when I began.

My son and I suffer from similar problems. He is classified as being disgraphic and being relatively low on the ASM scale [see above]. I am old enough to have not been exposed to MMR, he got it. I suffered through the various diseases, he did not. Is it possible that exposure to the diseases, even the "dead" forms used in vaccines, could cause the problems?

Viri incorporate themselves into our genetic codes and can be passed along when we reproduce.

We don't have answers, only questions.

I read once that it costs over 50K per year per autistic child's education. Maybe if it is money that is the only concern for some people then they should do it just for that since our kids seem to matter little. Some government someplace better come up with the answers.

Fact is, the studies are flawed in both directions, not me talking but the docs from the big medical universities. Lets study the vaccines and a host of other things that countries like the US and UK have in common since the rise in autism and get to the bottom of it.

Before 1986 and then after 1986 when the shot was widely accepted, the numbers grew at an appalling rate as in this country. So is it the shot, I don't know, but I sure want it studied since we always look for a common based when dealing with anything, what changed , what do the two countries have in common since then that specifically targets babies.

I used to investigate foodborne illnesses. I'd see people who had been diagnosed with salmonellosis. Almost always, people were sure where they got it. It was often the last thing they ate, usually something they weren't happy with, right before they got sick.

Salmonella has an incubation period of 12-74 hours, with the average of 18-36 hours. I'd tell them that, but it didn't matter. FACTS didn't matter. It was the thing they ate right before they got sick. Salmonellosis is not even remotely as serious as autism.

The symptoms of autism seem to begin sometime around the same age as the kids are given the shots. That doesn't mean the shots have anything to do with autism. Especially when so much is available that says not.

While I think the possibilities should be thoroughly examined, I don't think the facts will matter. They haven't mattered yet. I think that what people choose to believe in takes precedence over facts that conflict with that believe, OR the question remaining because of a lack of facts, there is no point in discussing it. It's more about perception and belief than facts and intent to understand.

I'm thinking that any study not proving what some people "know" is true will be called "flawed".

I'm not saying I'm 100% sure autism couldn't have something to do with the vaccine, just that it doesn't seem likely. What else isn't likely is that anything positive will occur from me continuing to discuss this, as it's being discussed more like religion than science. I'm done.

There are studies being conducted to determine if there is a link between immunization and autoimmune disorders. Nothing conclusive found yet, but at least they are looking into it.

I would like to say that both of my grandmothers (neither one immunized) had autoimmune hypothyroidism, which passed to my father and mother and subsequently to me and both my daughters.

Also, when I was born, I was covered in eczema. This prior to any vaccination. So I am inclined to think that autoimmune conditions (of which I believe autism is included) is attributed to genetic mutations caused by exposure to environmental toxins.

BTW... the mercury in vaccines is a different type and of such trace amount. Not really comparable to ingestion of the mercury found in oily fish which can build up in the body. The mercury used in vaccines is passed by the body.

Thimerosal contains ethylmercury, and about 49 per cent of thimerosal is made up of this form of mercury. Ethylmercury is different than methylmercury; the latter is an organic form of mercury and it is the one that is known to lead to brain damage. Methylmercury is found in the environment, with the main concern for humans being the consumption of food like tuna fish that contain this kind of mercury. Ethylmercury is different in that the body can eliminate it much more quickly compared to methylmercury. It is also less likely for ethylmercury to hit toxic levels in the bloodstream.

Another study finds no MMR-autism link

By Amy Norton

NEW YORK | Mon Jan 4, 2010 12:04pm EST

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A new study provides further evidence that the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine is not associated with an increased risk of autism.

This latest study included 96 Polish children ages 2 to 15 who had been diagnosed with autism. Researchers compared each child with two healthy children the same age and sex who had been treated by the same doctor.

Some of the children had received the MMR vaccine, while others had not been vaccinated at all or had received a vaccine against measles only.

Poland has been slower to introduce the MMR than other European countries, but over the past decade, the vaccine has slowly been replacing the measles-only shot.

Overall, the study found, children who had received the MMR vaccine actually had a lower risk of autism than their unvaccinated peers. Nor was there any evidence of an increased autism risk with the measles-only vaccine.

No effect of MMR withdrawal on the incidence of autism: a total population study

   1. Hideo Honda1,
   2. Yasuo Shimizu1,
   3. Michael Rutter2

Background:  A causal relationship between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and occurrence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has been claimed, based on an increase in ASD in the USA and the UK after introduction of the MMR vaccine. However, the possibility that this increase is coincidental has not been eliminated. The unique circumstances of a Japanese MMR vaccination program provide an opportunity for comparison of ASD incidence before and after termination of the program.

Methods:  This study examined cumulative incidence of ASD up to age seven for children born from 1988 to 1996 in Kohoku Ward (population approximately 300,000), Yokohama, Japan. ASD cases included all cases of pervasive developmental disorders according to ICD-10 guidelines.

Results:  The MMR vaccination rate in the city of Yokohama declined significantly in the birth cohorts of years 1988 through 1992, and not a single vaccination was administered in 1993 or thereafter. In contrast, cumulative incidence of ASD up to age seven increased significantly in the birth cohorts of years 1988 through 1996 and most notably rose dramatically beginning with the birth cohort of 1993.

Conclusions:  The significance of this finding is that MMR vaccination is most unlikely to be a main cause of ASD, that it cannot explain the rise over time in the incidence of ASD, and that withdrawal of MMR in countries where it is still being used cannot be expected to lead to a reduction in the incidence of ASD.

Why not do a study where they completely eliminated those three vaccines for a 3 year period and see what happens instead of just changing the fucking delivery system from 1 shot to three and say see we were right ... Oh they could, just look at some of the autism rates in the poorer countries that don't pump that shit into their kids

Then get your grand kids the shot, it works for you ... rock on ..
me I will not advise anyone at anytime to do it unless their baby is not healthy ... don't take an alien to know that this didn't occur before the 1980 did it ... no .. not even close to these numbers. In Japan they eliminated the combo shot .. yup the autism rates went up .. ok. yea but they still give the kids the shots ... only three separate ones ... so what one pushes them over the edge .. me, I walk away and advise people to do the same
