We are getting reports whereby the government is finally owning some culpability in the massive, unsafe immunizations that occurred throughout the eighties, nineties and into the new millennium. They have been paying families millions of dollars in settlement money for the vaccine damage to their children which includes autism. We are just finding out about this!?! Autism went from 1 in 10,000 (prior to 1990) to the 1990's ratio of 1 in 150 children and has continued to increase throughout the first decade of 2000 to current day numbers indicating 1 in 100 children effected with autistic traits following immunizations.
In the 1990's thimerisol (a preservative, containing mercury, found in immunizations) was identified as unsafe for many children as their bodies were unable to metabolize metals, in this case mercury. Instead the mercury accumulated to significant amounts and crossed the blood-brain barrier thus causing brain damage, quite often effecting the speech center and sensory systems of these children. If you look up the symptoms of mercury poisoning you find them to be the same as we are seeing in many of our children with autism.
There was a recent article published that indicates continued problems as seen in the statistics above even after taking thimerisol out of the early childhood immunizations. This study identified the introduction of fetal DNA in vaccines as the trigger. The study tells us that "the vaccines contain significant residual human DNA fragments that can insert themselves into vaccine recipient cells........this insertion can cause genomic disruption resulting in autism." To read more about this, see article in ChristianNewsWire describing the "ticking time bomb that has already exploded."
What we learned from the 90's is that autism was no longer considered epidemic proportions but by the end of the 90's had moved into a classification known as pandemic. What we also learned from the 90's was that when these children with autism went through a cheolation process large amounts of mercury and aluminum would show up in their blood and urine samples (far beyond what is considered "normal"). Another bit of information we garnered from the 90's was that when the vaccines were introduced to third world countries, these countries then started to have cases of autism pop up everywhere among their young, freshly immunized children, whereby those countries had never seen a case of autism before. We've known its the immunizations, we've known it does not negatively effect all or even most children...yet we could not get the government (FDA) or the drug companies to own their culpability in the destruction of the productive lives of these children, instead leaving an enormous burden on the families and eventually the Social Security Disability and Medicaid rolls.
I believe most parents with this knowledge are NOT anti-vaccine people but instead share the belief that vaccines should be safe and should be well researched and tested before requiring mass inoculation and in the event there is a question, then we have the right to be informed immediately and decide about the risk for our own children. I know not one of those families are thanking the government for allowing their child to become a guinea pig for their experimentation. And I know not one of those families are thrilled with the thought that the major drug companies producing these vaccines combed in unbelievable amounts of profits as a result of the government requiring mass inoculation. There have been class action suits and individual suits brought against the drug companies, who continue to deny there is any correlation. The drug companies are wealthy beyond measure and for every study brought up in the lawsuits showing cause and effect, they pay for five more studies negating that connection. Remember what I said in my last post, one can always find the evidence to support one's belief (or in this case - agenda). And there can be creation of evidence if needed, as seen in my legal case, by the opposing side.
The recent information of the government "secretly" settling with some families is not a surprise, see this article and short FOXnewscast describing such settlements. The need to keep it secret must have been enormous as there are hundreds of thousands of kids (and their families) negatively impacted. It will be interesting to see what happens now, if anything. A requirement of filing claims with this government program is that the claim must be filed within 3 years of onset. I know for one, when my Nate started changing and showing the signs of withdrawal we did not have this information and in 1992 the doctors were baffled. Diagnosing Nate was like a three ring circus. By the time he was 5 years old he must have had at least 8 different diagnosis, with autism being the last educated guess. You see there is no blood test or genetic test to confirm the diagnosis...it is more a process of elimination and observation of behavior patterns. It wasn't until 2001 that I first learned of the connection between the immunizations and autism and by then Nate was 10 years old and it was far too late to make a claim. Further, the government and the drug companies have bombarded us with the denial of this link between autism and vaccines, even going so far as to repeatedly discredit the doctors doing the research and the results of the scientific research with findings to the contrary.
In developing The NOAH Project (2001-2002) I had decided we would focus on the best overall treatment for these kids. How we could respect their differences and work with them in the most loving way, how we could support their nutritional needs and how we could educate and help their parents and other parents (attending our speaking series) gather resources, that is doctors, therapists and nutritionists who were tuned into this information and could help clear the children of the neurotoxins and at the same time boost their immune systems. An informed parent can best help their children if they know what is going inside their child's body and find ways to offset the negative impact; in contrast the denial campaigns of the government and drug companies does not help progress or focus on the effective treatment for these kids. I did not attack the drug companies or FDA. It was always my hope they would step up and become accountable. Apparently it now becomes evident they handled the few extreme cases where the parents had the knowledge and wherewithal to make the claims on a timely basis and the impact of the vaccines were immediate and drastic rather than slow developing over time, as it was for most of our kids.
We are still faced with determining the best ways to help the kids (and now many are young adults) who have been effected. I have remained a believer in the The Son-Rise Program in terms of treatment (although limited to home-based), teaching the children to be interactive in the most spontaneous way. The public schools are now doing a far better job working with our kids. The explosive population of children with autism started in the 90's and took everybody by surprise, especially the public school system, they had to scramble to find certified special ed teachers, qualified teacher aids and ways to reach these kids.
Nutritional needs and vitamin intervention are still vital in boosting their compromised immune systems and helping clear the fog away, which quite often is created by gluten and casein foods (found in most processed food items). At The NOAH Project we issued a quarterly Nutrition newsletter to all families, teachers and therapists who were on our mailing lists from the speaking series (approximately 3,000 people). Here are a few pages from our newsletters prepared by our staff nutritionist (you will see we were careful and still soft pedaled the role of immunizations in creating this malady):
If you know families challenged with a child showing symptoms of delayed development, limited or no speech and/or overload of sensory systems, encourage them to get early intervention. The sooner they address the problems, the more likely the child will respond and possibly reverse the effects. Most of all, find the doctors/pediatricians that are focused on safe immunizations. There are alternatives, such as splitting up the viruses, and administering the vaccines over a longer period of time. Research! Encourage them to become empowered parents taking initiative, instead of blindly trusting the "experts". Most of all encourage them to love their children and support them in the most positive ways. If nothing else these children teach us to love unconditionally....a gift in itself!!
Great post.... and, as always, you enlighten us!!
ReplyDeleteI can't even put into words my respect for you. You are such a wonderful mother + advocate.
ReplyDeleteHere's a link of a You Tube video that reminds me of you and Nate.
