Vaccine Court (Jesters?)
Wow…here we 
are again. Another “vaccine” court says that thimerosal doesn’t “cause” autism. Has nothing to do with autism. And vaccines are safe.
Hmmm….
Let’s think about this for a minute.
In 19
99, thimerosal was taken OUT of all childhood vaccines (except for the flu shot). Safe, huh? Thimerosal is a known neurotoxin (mercury). But, it isn’t the ONLY neurotoxin in our kids’ vaccines. You might want to take a gander at the ingredients the next time you are in to see your neighborhood pediatrician. And the mere fact that they inject our kids with HiB vaccine when they are first born? I wasn’t properly informed in the delivery room as to what and why they were vaccinating my boys. It was standard protocol.
If I am to be honest with you, I think our son with autism exhibited symptoms of it very early. We would take him out as a newborn & instead of being curious about the world, he would shut his eyes and “play possum”. He was completely overwhelmed by the sounds and would shut down. We were new parents and thought he was tired. However, after his major vaccines, he would stutter, loose some vocabulary, and become very clumsy. He ran a fever and had yeast infections.
In my opinion (and I am no doctor), I think our son had autism at birth. Very mild case. Do I think something in his environment made it worse? Vaccines, food, water, something? Yes, I do. I have NEVER once heard big pharma, CDC, NIH, no one say: “hmm…maybe these children with autism…maybe their immune systems were compromised by the vaccines. Maybe there is an environmental trigger and since their immune systems were compromised, is it possible that their autism was more severe?”
I believe that our children need to be vaccinated against major diseases. They have turned back the clock on polio and the like. Great job! 
But there HAS to be a way to make them safer and preservative free. If big pharma wants autism parents off of their backs, make single dose vaccines. Work with our pediatricians on a less stringent schedule of vaccination (CDC & NIH, take note here). And take the preservatives out of our vaccines. Pediatricians, pharma, parents…we can all work together and make this next generation of children healthier and who knows? Using common sense might lessen the numbers of children with autism.
There is more and more research that links many learning and developmental difficulties to poor communication and synchronisation between the two brain halves. An effective way of improving the processing functions in the brain is to listen to specially altered sound or music through headphones as pioneered by Dr. Alfred Tomatis (Tomatis method) and Dr. Guy Bérard (Auditory Integration Training – AIT).
Now there is a new Sound Therapy Programme which has been specifically developed with the aim to improve sensory processing, interhemispheric integration and cognitive functioning and it is entirely free to download and use at home. It has helped many children and adults with a wide range of learning and developmental difficulties, ranging from dyslexia, dyspraxia and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder to sensory processing disorders and autism. It is not a cure or medical intervention, but a structured training programme that can help alleviate some of the debilitating effects that these conditions can have on speech and physical ability, daily behaviour, emotional well-being and educational or work performance.
Check out the Free Sound Therapy Home Programme from Sensory Activation Solutions. There is no catch, it’s absolutely free and most importantly often effective. Find it at: http://www.uk.sascentre.com/uk_free.html.
Deb, I love your blog theme! It is really attractive. I’m going to tell my teacher friend about your autism website too. Thanks for sharing all the knowledge!
