Fighting the Autism-Vaccine War

Carol - really? Did your grandparents live until 40? Their parents? Your great aunts & uncles? If people in your family pre-vax were all dropping before 40, I would suggest there is a serious genetic problem within the family line. My parents & their parents & siblings, etc we all not vaxed & at last count the only ones dead are my grandparents as they lived until late ages & passed from natural causes (save one grandma in her 90's who still lives on her own & walks 5 miles a day & take NO medication other than thyroid replacement therapy & the occasional Aleve of arthritis in her hips). None lost any siblings either, even in childhood. A few lost babies due to issues that today could have been fairly easily corrected, but not related to diseases. So I have to say your idea that vaccines saved humanity is a bit overdramatic & buying wayyyy too much into the dogma we have been fed. I even have on uncle with polio. He lost the use of one arm. How he got it? When they started to vax in the area to "stave off" the spread of polio into the area they skyrocketted the polio rate since they used the live virus which was in fact infectious & he caught polio from a vaxed kid who was shedding. So you will have to forgive me that I do not see vaccines as the savior of the world. Life expectancies have a lot more to do with good nutrition & understanding hygiene than anything else. This kind of thinking gets thrown into childbirth (particularly at home birth) all the time too. People constantly say things like "women used to die all the time in childbirth" - well the fact is that current stats show that women who birth at home who are low risk have lower maternal & fetal mortality rates then low risk women who birth in hospitals. We've just all been convinced to be scared of everything anymore.

There are always cons to everything....we have increased lifespans because of vaccines....yet there are some people who have side effects from them...unfortunately...what is the alternative, though....death...Maybe there needs to be a change in the schedule of vaccines, but they cannot be eradicated...we will go back to the days of living til we're 40.....I DO believe there might be some people people who HAVE had something caused by a vaccine...I believe others are just trying to find a reason why their kids are the way they are and blaming vaccines....It's always someone else's fault....Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies....Haliburton, for that matter!

Dear Dr. Healy,
I would like to thank you for writing this article. I am sure it is the money and the sacred medial dogma that shuts out reason when dealing with the vaccine companies, and it is simply heart breaking.
From the article above:
"_______ the lunacy of injecting mercury into little kids through mandated vaccines that together exceeded mercury safety guidelines designed for adults."

The issue of creating vacine scares has been understood through a broader based study of the issue of anomalies. The program of vacination in the United States in California targeting babies of Black and Hispanic descent was done and issues in the Nigeria targeted babies given vacine caused deaths and the law suites have proceeded/. This has created a vacine scare which has killed 148 children in the Congo with German Measles. The issue of creating a method of preservation regarding the vacines and the mercury is clear. The matter of checking for a history of exposure to any type of pollutant that can cause atypical mitochondrial DNA in an individual is a matter of taking and effective health history prior to administering and prescribing medication. The standard for application is clear. That means that a medical history of both parents and of the child must take place including environmental exposures at a former place of abode. That does include Chernoble exposure in many adopted children parents in the USA. When brain injury as opposed to Autism is diagnosed the matter of dealing with the treatment can be exact. These people are not Autistic but are brain injured which has been used as a catch-all for the mental health diagnosis of Autism thereby preventing effective liability as well as epidemiology. It is simple the studies are intended to create a problem of consuumer abuse by the large pharmaceutical comapanies and in HMOs who have accepted these children as insured. The prevention of obvious focus allows them to both refuse children coverage and to refuse effective treatment and genuine diagnosis. That is how many children can be allowed to languish until they are treated for the issues that they are well proven to have rather than the catch-all diagnosis of AUTISM here. Autism like symptoms are a part of nearly every child-hood illness as they are the same as those involving trauma of any kind both psychololgical (Maternal deprivation/ separation anxiety/culture shock) and physical ( failure to thrive ie neglect/continuity of care and exposure to pollutants and known toxins).

My granddaughter was speaking, normal and bright until at age 17 months had MMR. Immediately after she had a seizure, went to a children's hospital, and as my daughter reports, "the light in her eyes went out." She did not speak again until about age 4. Now age 11, she is in an excellent school program, but she is not normal. What is her future? Do we think the MMR brought it on? Absolutely.

In view of the more recent happenings to Dr. Wakefield, the attention Dr. Healy has given a possible autism-vaccine connection is indeed interesting.

The vaccines are biologically active and unnatural and foreign to the body. They are causing biological disorder, damage, toxicity, and poisoning that involves and relates to feeling, thought, emotion, etc. Vaccines are making us increasingly unconscious and reactive in various and unpredictable ways. Autism is a disintegration and contraction of being, experience, and consciousness -- and of feeling, emotion, and thought. Thoughts and emotions are differentiated feelings.

The following is essential to understanding the “big picture” on autism.
The fact that autism is a disintegration, contraction, and detachment of being, experience, and consciousness is consistent with toxicity/damage/disorder.
The NUMEROUS vaccines are biologically active, and yet they are unnatural and foreign to the body. So when the body THEN reacts as if it is infected with disease (via antibodies/immune responses), is it not diseased/ill/damaged/infected to some extent? All of these NUMEROUS and altered/unnatural immune responses/vaccinations will eventually compromise our immune function.
Autism also involves a disintegration, contraction, and detachment of memory, feeling, thought, and emotion. Importantly, autism may be usefully understood as involving BIOLOGICAL toxicity/disorder/damage that relates to, involves, or pertains to thought, feeling, and emotion.
