Hi All,

This link I recently received from a dear friend. We decided that I would post it so here it is. It's quite disturbing but good to know.

Love to you all

Yes Pinky I agree, it's VERY disturbing. But it's going to take educating all those Moms and Dads out there to the danger and I believe that needs to be done by spreading the word thru vehicles such as this.
We all need to copy this article and send it to everyone on our personal email lists.
Nothing can be done until people know the truth.
Thanks for posting this.

Pinky,

Dr Blaylock has an excellent point!!! Twenty-five years ago, this was also such a major concern for parents, that we decided NOT to give our son all the vaccinations because of studies that had come out that Dr. Blaylock speaks of.


Fast forward it today, there are vaccinations for everything and anything, but they come with consequences. Parents need to be informed to make those choices. We want to irradicate disease from spreading globally, but I think we need to do it prudently and with thorough testing at all levels.

Also the next paragragh I had NEVER heard of and is a concern to me:

Often forgotten, is the substantial evidence that omega-6 oils powerfully induce inflammation and immune suppression when consumed in large amounts. Those eating a Western diet are consuming 50-fold higher amounts of this type of oil (called linoleic acid) than needed for health. These oils include corn, safflower, sunflower, canola, peanut and soybean oils. So, we see that the average child is exposed to a number of substances in their food and environment that can also alter immunity, making them not only more susceptible to natural infection, but also to vaccine complications.

In essence, by over-vaccinating our children, public health officials are weakening their immune system, making them more susceptible to a number of infections and less able to combat the infections. This gives them an endless source of “horror stories” to justify even more vaccines.

Remember also that mercury is an immune suppressant, both from vaccines and seafood contamination.

One can see that a pregnant mother having dental amalgam fillings, who eats a diet high in methylmercury-containing seafood, and living in an area with high atmospheric mercury, such as West Texas, would be at a greater risk of having an autistic child than one not exposed to these other sources of mercury.

These differences in environmental mercury exposure are never considered by those insisting all children have the same vaccines, including mercury-containing vaccines such as the flu vaccine.

Thank you for making Dr. Blaylock's article available to us.

Many Blessings

There are all kinds of ways to stumble into a hornet's nest.

You can do it the way talk-radio host Michael Savage did it recently when he made this comment: "I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out."

I would find that offensive if I thought he believed a word of it. But I'm sure Michael was just being Michael: boosting ratings by making outrageous, narrow-minded, inflammatory comments.

Another way to stumble into a hornet's nest is to make a connection between autism and childhood vaccines.

That's how Senator John McCain did it last February when he noted that there's "strong evidence" that autism is linked to a vaccine preservative. He didn't mention the mercury- based preservative thimerosal by name, but he didn't have to. In the days that followed, from blogs to mainstream media reports, Senator McCain's comments were widely dismissed and mocked.

And that's how it goes these days for anyone who dares suggest vaccines might play any role in prompting autism. You're labeled a quack, a crackpot, a lunatic.

And that's why a credible alternative therapy for autism might never receive the research it deserves.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Heavy metal hysteria
------------------------------------------------------------------
A proposed government study that would test chelation as an autism treatment was recently postponed. Apparently there's a safety concern. But there's another concern that doctors and researchers would rather not talk about: The safety of childhood vaccines would receive unwanted scrutiny if chelation were proven effective in curbing autism.

Chelation was first developed in the 1940s by the U.S. Navy to treat lead poisoning. But the medical mainstream generally regards chelation as a borderline quack treatment for two reasons:
Chelation not only binds with heavy metals, it also binds with mineral deposits so it's sometimes used by alternative practitioners to treat arterial disease by removing plaque from artery walls. Ah, but if you have a treatment that removes arterial plaque, then you're providing direct competition for statin drugs – the best selling prescription drugs of all time. So over the past couple of decades, the mainstream has generally portrayed chelation as a bizarre fringe treatment.
Individual case studies have shown that chelation has been successful in treating autism. Of course, the current widespread mindset that mercury toxicity does not cause autism is deeply threatened by the success of chelation therapy.
We certainly can't allow research to contradict our stubborn beliefs!
------------------------------------------------------------------
FDA-approved voodoo
------------------------------------------------------------------
In a recent Associated Press article, several doctors sounded the alarm about chelation's dangers. Commenting on the proposed study, one Johns Hopkins doctor said, "I don't really know why we have to do this in helpless children."

And a former director of the National Vaccine Program Office told the AP that giving chelation therapy to autistic children is unethical. In fact, the article's opening paragraph notes that some scientists look on chelation at an "unethical experiment in voodoo medicine."

But the article fails to note that in 1991 the FDA approved chelation as a treatment for lead poisoning in adults and children. So if it's been an acceptable treatment for children for more than 15 years, why in the world would it now be unethical to test it in "helpless" children?

For a possible answer, let’s connect the dots. It’s easy!
Dot One: Mercury-based preservative thimerosal has been removed from most vaccines
Dot Two: But if chelation is found to successfully treat autism in kids who received multiple shots during the time thimerosal was widely used, mainstream insistence that the preservative didn’t play a role in prompting autism will be threatened
Dot Three: Lawsuits against vaccine makers might be significantly strengthened by research that shows chelation to be effective against autism

Mainstream practitioners are probably most concerned about a small percentage of parents who are beginning to say no to the incredible barrage of childhood vaccinations. And that's a trend the government wants no part of. Even if it means stopping the advance of research that could help thousands of autistic kids lead more normal lives.

Thanks for sharing this information, Pinky. I only wish I had seen it 6 years ago...or at least 3 years ago, when my son with eczema and asthma was born...who knows....
