Just got emailed this - I'm on his email list.

Sorry the link is so long

I don't think there is any evidence to support a link between autism and vaccines. Although most of us tend to be susceptible to all kinds of allergies and sensitivities, it is more probable to suggest that the genes which cause autism are linked to yielding physical problems in the rest of the body as well. Autism is caused in part by a network of up to 500 or so genes on (if memory serves me) two distinct chromosomes - and that's only the current count - and often single genes have a cluster of seemingly unrelated expressions. So our distinct brain wiring could be one genetic expression of which gut issues are another, for example. But as for that theory to be proven more genetic investigation will need to be done.

There were CDC whistleblower articles (or something similar?) a couple months back, but I don't believe I ever heard and follow-up news.

*bangs head*

MMRII introduced in early 80s.

"Autism" replaces a certain subset of "mentally ret*d" in the DSM in early 1980s.

Now, why would we see more autism diagnoses in the early 1980s??

Asperger's enters the DSM in 1994. Now, why would we see another rise????

JEEEZZZZZ!! !

Look-- excessive use of antibiotics, huge amounts of chemicals in the drinking water, and Triclosan in the soap aren't good for ANYONE (unless you happen to be immunosuppressed on numbers 1 and 3-- and dumping those things on everyone is monumentally bad for the folks that NEED them due to immune suppression). CAFO agriculture isn't good for ANYONE.

No-brainers. Seriously.

Joseph M. Mercola, D.O., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Mercola always cites his sources. In this article, he links to 17 sources, not all of them "scholarly." That is okay with me. Besides, when his opponents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Me ... ontroversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Me ... ng_Letters include Big Pharma and the federal government, I can judge him by his enemies. There must be some truth to his claims if they can get so twisted over his work.

It's important to note that Mercola is not a medical doctor, he is an osteopath. Osteopathy is not real medicine.

He has indeed been warned of the risk of fines for making fraudulent claims to sell his products. Not sure how being disliked by "big pharma" and the government automatically makes one trustworthy.

The "leaky gut" theory may or not be true but lets be clear what the agenda behind the theory going from fringe to mainstream in a one years time. It happened because of Autism Speaks is spending tons of money to make it happen. http://www.autismspeaks.org/science/sci ... n-research. Why ? If Autism is caused by mostly generic factors , we are born this way, Autism is a natural human difference. If Autism is mostly a result of human chemicals (be it vaccines, processed foods whatever ) then we are mutants that need to be cured or eliminated.

Many chemicals, drugs, GMOs etc. can mimic diseases and disorders which otherwise occur naturally. The difference in developing and presenting autistic-related characteristics which are unnatural in origin would likely have everchanging characteristics and severities as the consumption and amounts of such artificial chemicals, drugs, GMOs etc. changes over an individual's life. It seems to me that the hallmark of natural autistic-related characteristics would exhibit a consistency that is absent in unnatural characteristics. Wouldn't it? Of course, the consumption of certain chemicals, drugs, GMOs etc. just once or twice (especially among young children) might cause a few lifelong characteristics with some consistency. I dunno.

Dr Mercola > vaccines > autism

Read enough already.
