Kudos to the National Children's Study Team for getting started on the most important scientific studies of our lifetime.
More info about thimerosol and potential link to autism can be found here

I am beyond thrilled about this study. I have felt for years that there is an environmental link to many illnesses but especially asthma and autism. It is just too rampant today to be better methodology for testing. I feel there may be some genetic predispotition which makes some people susceptible to metals, drugs, VOC's and other toxins in our environment.
My blog is full of health, wellness and environmental information; some scientific and some subjective. I would love for you to check it out and comment. I am currently looking into Vitamin B17, Folic Acid and Omega3's disease fighting abilities.

Why the denial over the issues here? Stop pumping mercury into the kids arms. Thymerosal is a mercury based preservative in vaccines for not only children but also adults. Ask your physician. Now are we so stupid as to think that there wont be ramifications from it?
What is troubling to me is that there is a link and yet it is still used.

Why isn't there more on gluten free diets for the Autiac. It works at least on some.

I think it should be another study for the children that are getting to teenage stage, is not fair that our kids are not been considered for this searching, they will be very soon the adults in about 10 years or less, where can we write for this study?
They are making a big deal with this searching and I think is very good for all of the kids that are coming, but what about the teenagers that are already here, no all the families have the income to soport this type of searching we need their help too.

Yippee, Another really big study sponsored by the NIH and CDC. That's all we need is more statistical manipulation done by the perpetrators of the worst medical crime of all time, paid for with our taxes of course. Philip Landrigan should retire. He's known about vaccines with alkyl mercury for well over 15 years now. He's a phony and a coward.
