SAFE OR NOT SAFE?

21jrm6b.jpg

Children now are recommended to getting 69 vaccine antigens and milligrams of chemicals by six months of age and will receive 113 vaccinations by the time they reach kindergarten.   The new Gardasil vaccine, and all other teen booster shots girls will have 145 vaccine antigens injected into their bodies by 10 years of age.  When drugs are perscribed the doses are calculated according to the weight of the child.  Vaccination is the only area of medicine where a six-week-old baby and a 150 pound adult are being injected with the exact same dose of medication. This should be considered malpractice as this is totally absurd and completly dangerous.  An adult who is exposed to aluminum or to a dose of 25 micrograms of mercury from the flu shot or the tetanus shot is bad enough, but giving the same amount to a child who weighs less than one-third of an adult is life threatening as it is disrupting their immune system.  Since the vaccines is injected directly into muscle or directly in the blood stream is not safe or effective.  Although doctors and companies who supply them and who continue to benefit financially will say anything to assure you of their safety.  Immunization is a 200 year old false-premise and vaccination is a 200 year, money-making mistake.

500,000 KIDS!

2ngzjhw.gif

If vaccines are supposed to be making us healthier; then why within the last 25 years are there now so many damaged, sick kids? I truly think that something very wrong is happening to our children.  There is more than 500,000 kids who are currently suffering from autism.  Pediatricians diagnose more than 40,000 new cases of Autism every year.  That is a 6000% increase!  Since this disease was unknown until 1943, it was identified and diagnosed in eleven children born in the months after thimerosal was first added to baby vaccinations in 1931.  If you were born after 1989, YOU are a member of the Thimerosal Generation and you have been injected with a heavy doses of mercury in your needles.  Vaccine manufacturers have already started to take thimerosal out of injections given to Canadian and American infants, but they STILL are selling the left over mercury-based supplies of vaccines until last year.

1 in 150…. Could Your Child Be The 1?

20min.jpg

Autism is part of a group of disorders known as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).  It is more common than cancer, aids, multiple sclerosis and diabetes combined.  It is four times more likely found in boys than girls of all ethic, racial and social groups.  As it is complex, it impairs a person’s communication and relations to others and causes repetitive behaviours and unusual routines from mild to severe.  Obsessions of arranging objects can also be found.  1 in 150 children are diagnosed with Autism and 1 in 94 boys are on the spectrum.  A new case is diagnosed every 20 minutes and 67 children are diagnosed per day.  This is the fastest and still growing developmental disability in the United States and in Canada.  It is also the most poorly funded as it receives less than 5% of research funding of other childhood diseases and it costs over $90 billion dollars per year which is expected to double in the next decade.  As there is no cure for Autism, and no medical detection, this is a very serious issue that requires more research and funding.

The Five Types

gothautism.jpg

There are 5 types of Pervasive Developmental Disorders as they come in many combinations of characteristics and different levels that affect the way people speak, socialize, play and react to their environment.

Below are definitions and characteristics of these five disorders.

Classic Autism is those who have severe problems relating to people and speaking.  Most are very hypersensitive to their environment as certain colours, sounds or textures can upset them.  Most have set rituals and are compulsive as doing simple things like eating the same foods or watching the same shows on television every day at the same times as changes in their daily routine can set them off and upset them.

Childhood Disintegrative Disorder is a form of autism that develops in children who at first seem normal.  Around the ages of 2 and 4 the child stops speaking and socializing, can stop playing and interacting with others, and has lost potty training skills.  Some can even lose their motor skills.

Asperger’s Syndrome is a type of autism that does not have language delays but causes problems with social and communication skills and can be socially awkward and may not understand conventional social rules or may show a lack of empathy or have limited eye contact.  They can be unengaged in a conversation and not understand the use of gestures but they also have average or above-average intelligence level.

Rett Syndrome usually affects girls and is marked by poor head growth.  This can cause poor verbal and social skills as they can have repetitive hand movements. 

Pervasive Developmental Disorder­ Not Otherwise Specified is where some but not all of these symptoms from all the above categories are characteristics found.  This is most common and forms of each could be combined into one.

In 1943…

asaparent1.gif

In 1943, Autism was first identified by Dr. Leo Kanner of Johns Hopkins Hospital and within the same time, Dr. Hans Asperger, a German scientist, discovered a more milder form of autism which is now known as Asperger Syndrome.  These are two of the five autism spectrum disorders.  The others are Rett Syndrome, PDD NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder), and Childhood Disintegrative Disorder.  All of these disorders very from different degrees of impairment in communication skills and social abilities, and also by repetitive behaviors.   Autism spectrum disorders can usually be reliably diagnosed as early as 6 months.  Parents are usually the first to notice unusual behaviors or failure to reach developmental milestones at certain ages and describe their child to be different from birth and others describe their child who was developing normally and then lost certain skills.  Pediatricians may ignore signs of autism, thinking a child will “catch up,” and may tell parents to “wait and see.” When a parent has a suspiccion that something could be wrong with their child, they are usually right.  If you ever have concerns about your child’s development, please don’t wait and speak to their doctor about getting your child screened for autism and demand early intervention.

Autism and The Cell Phone Link

 

In the 1970s, the ratio of autism in our society was 1 in 10,000.  This was before the cell phone, wireless and similar technologies were introduced into the environment that produce radio waves.  A recent theory has been suggested that Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from cell phones, cell towers, Wi-Fi devices and other similar wireless technologies may be a factor in autism.  EMR negatively affects cell membranes, allowing heavy metal toxins, which are associated with autism to build up in your body.  EMR can trap heavy metals inside of nerve cells, which can stop your body from clearing the toxins naturally.  Autism rates have increased along with the use of cell phones.  A child’s skull is thinner than an adult’s and being exposed to a cell phone the radiation has a higher chance of penetrating into their skull more than an adult’s skull.  There is not a direct connection between cell phones and autism, however, this is something to consider for your child’s health.  Try to minimize their exposure to cell phone radiation as this could lead to some neural damage.

Autism Intervention Programs

Your doctor may refer your child to have autism intervention services depending on the severity of their disorder.  The intervention programs have advice and information with consultations and training for families to get their child ready for the IBI program, known as Intensive Behavioural Intervention.  The goal of the program is to try to encourage development and change behaviours.  They are very personalized programs that are based on the child’s needs in order to help them learn independence.  Most of it is done in small groups or individually.  A lot of programs provide parent-training to help them reach their goals.  To anyone who has been diagnosed by a doctor and is considered to have the autism spectrum disorder can receive direct funding or direct services as there is no age limit to receiving these services.  The earlier the intervention the better.

Got Milk?

There are many studies that show that autism might be linked to the inability to properly break down a protein that is found in milk.  Casein is a protein that is found in milk and foods containing milk such as cheese, butter, yogurt, ice cream, etc.  This could be a reason of an intestinal flaw such as malfunctioning enzymes which will not be able to digest and get broken down properly in the system.  The caseinate in the milk produces exorphins which are similar to morphine compound are absorbed by certain areas of the brain and cause cells to dysfunction in the same way of that of a hallucinogenic drug.  A recent study had determined that 95% of 81 autistic children had 100 times the normal levels of milk protein in their urine and in their blood.  This can effect over 32 different areas of the brain and they are all areas that are all related to communication, vision and hearing.  This could be the reason for several behavioral symptoms.
