HOW...WHY...COULD IT BE?

I recently read a post yesterday re: Mercury Poisoning in the immunization shots. Speculations have come and gone re: that Autism could be a result from certain immunizations.

I have NO substantial resources to back this up, but after talking to several doctors/psycholigist during this journey with my son...many (dr's/researchers) seem to be disregarding the vac. shots may have something to do w/ the rising #'s of autism, but w/ the stats being 1 in 150 kids will be dx'd w/ autism, there has to be a more viable answer than *it just happens*. Why all of a sudden this uprise? All I want is an answer. After this journey w/ my son, I lagged on my daughters vac's (which, btw, I'm caught up now with), but I was so distraught. I gained a mistrust in the dr's we met with.

Why is that in many cases, after age 2 that all of sudden, kids digress to exhibiting Autistic traits? Kids are on track developmentally, then all of a sudden become withdrawn? Kids are talking, then all of a sudden, age 2, what was once a healthy vocabulary at an age 2 level, now becomes a almost non-existent vocabulary and become withdrawn, but seem to be healthy othersise? What is interesting, is how some meds work on some kids, but not on others. We all react physiologically different to different meds. Wouldn't that somehow be the same for vac. shots? I'm not trained medically, of course, but I've pondered on this on many many nights.

My mother and father are from the Philippines and during their time growing up, they weren't privvy to the many vac shots that we have now. They survived, they're living, and otherwise, healthy!! What is the growing numbers of Autism in other countries? It seems VERY prevalant here in the U.S., but what about other countries? Do they have these same statistics? Are our children being victims for unnecessary vac shots?

I just would like SOME answer as to why? Parents who are going through this same journey deserve some answer, relief, weight lifted up from their heavy hearts.




Thx again!

Ciao Tiff... I actually had my mercury fillings removed. I did a 'heavy metal detox'. And I think it helped with my depression. I've read some pretty convincing articles about mercury in vaccines also. There's a holistic MD doctor in Los Altos who you may want to meet for a consultation. He does a lot of work with children with Autism. His name is Raj Patel. 5050 El Camino Real, Ste. 110 Los Altos, CA 94022 Phone: 650-964-670

Separate topic: I just added a link to your blog from my blog :)

Hope all is well in CA!
