AUTISM

Most young mothers are very concerned about autism these days. And it is no wonder. There are now millions of children with autism. When I was a child, autism was unheard of. When my children were born, it was unheard of. Now there are tremendous numbers of children with autism. Parents seem convinced that vaccines have been the cause. Physicians say that is impossible. Mercury has been removed from vaccines, thank goodness, but autism rates are continuing. Now I have heard that there are other chemicals in the vaccines. For example, aluminum is added to vaccines and it is called an adjuvant, which means that it makes vaccines work better. To remove aluminum would require vaccines to be totally reformulated. ( And we would not want drug companies to go to all the trouble of completely reformulating vaccines just to save the brains of millions of children.) I imagine that formaldehyde is also add to preserve the vaccines. Couldn't vitamin C work just as well as a preservative? I believe that it is time to totally reformulate vaccines.

Another consideration is the number of vaccines that are given to babies in the first two years of their lives. These are critical years of neurological development. The huge doses of vaccines that are given could overwhelm the immune systems of tiny babies. They are also large doses of chemicals relative to the body weight and size of infants. In my opinion, most vaccines could be held off for at least two years to give the infants time to grow and develop.

Someone needs to do a study of children who have vaccines as infants and a control group of infants who wait until the age of two to begin vaccines and then are given only one at a time. Of course, this means more trips to the doctor or clinic, but our children's brains are worth the effort. Many vaccines do not need to be given until children start to school or kindergarten. They would be much better able to handle the vaccines then.

Some people say that ultrasound could be the culprit. Ultrasound screening has only been done in recent times. It could easily have an effect. Research need to be done to determine the cause of autism. If babies are born with autism, then what is affecting pregnant women to cause this damage to their babies? When millions of children's brains are being destroyed something needs to be done.
