I know they're only trying to help but this still annoys me.

Its kinda like they think we're broken.

Anyway, anyone ever use mecuricrane on wounds when they were little? It's been banned here. We used to use it.

Since when is Mercury that potent? Or that diverse in poisoning effects? I do believe, from what I've read, that Autism (LFA) can be mistaken for Mercury poisoning and vise/versa. But everything else is just plain and simple bullshi*. I have a bit or two from that list, and I know my sources.

ADD/ADHD - Dad is classic (undiagnosed) Adult ADD, and Mom was ADD in childhood ( same school subject troubles as ADD dx'd brother)...genetic

Aspergers - Grandfather seems to be somewhat AS, I was diagnosed during a hurtful part of my life... genetic and possibly environmental



It's from the first article listed, he talks like this all through it. He must think he's a "jenius" for having such a compelling argument. Any sane parent must believe every word this man says, no offense to the insane ones of course (Oprah fans). Oprah's always right too, I'm sure she's has no real opinion in this argument.

To be serious, it sounds like Mercury poisoning was mistaken for LFA, and so there's a lynch mob of misinformed parents knocking on Autism's door with pitchforks and torches in their hands. Try not to mistake my poor excuse for a sattire for humor. Unless of course you're Dr. Phil, I'd love to hang on his every word in this argument too. To be honest, I have no idea what mecuricrane is...

I believe it was mercurochrome, a very bright-colored liquid that was used on wounds. When I was a kid, everybody used to walk around with pinkish-red stains on their scrapes and cuts - except me and my siblings. My mom had some smelly homemade salve she always put on our boo-boos.

If they really want to help, then they should take that crap off of the internet!

I like this one:

Myth #6: There is no autism epidemic, it's just better diagnosis.

This myth persists despite being refuted by a wide range of scientists, policy makers, and health care organizations. All the available data points to an epidemic. Between 1992-2002, the Department of Education estimates that there has been a 714% increase in the number of autistic children. In the 1970s, autism was estimated to occur in 1 in 25,000 children. Between 1970 and 1990, that number increased to about 1 in 2,500. Today, the CDC acknowledges the number is about 1 in 166, even Eli Lilly, the maker of Thimerosal, says it's 1 in 150. Many believe it is closer to 1 in 125. The anecdotal evidence that we are experiencing an epidemic is overwhelming. If there is no epidemic, then where are all the autistic adults?

Did they look here, at WrongPlanet? Hmmm... I guess I was a "healthy" NT until I contracted AS from a magazine a year ago.

Ask any doctor, teacher, or day care worker who has been around children for 20 or more years, and they will tell you that the epidemic is unprecedented. What parent, either now or 20 years ago, does not notice that their child who spoke at one year is no longer speaking, or that their child does not respond to their name or look them in the eyes, or is displaying odd, repetitive behaviors like hand-flapping, spinning, and rocking that no other child is doing? Did those parents 20 years ago not notice these things?

The author doesn't even realize that his/her rhetorical questions aren't rhetorical at all...

This is a joke article. It is not intended to
offend but poke at fun at our societies ignorance.

I get it. Despite being a joke, it still makes about as much sense as most of the other claims for causes and cures.

The point of the joke was to emphasize
"Magic's" point about how what we read
doesn't always coincide to fact. Ignorance
is blitz in the printing media that feeds the
masses!

Hmmmmm?

That site has gone to my Bulls*** Bag. One of these days, i wil develop an indesrtuctible computer virus and send it to all of these sites just to alleviate the world from their stupidity.

Can I help?

The first half of that sentence contradicts everything their website claims





just down right corny here.



So you press for using chelation, but claim that "it probably won't work"...



They did it for the polio vaccination morons.

Seems like another "blame everything on Hg" website. Seems like they like to jump to conclusions, at least to me, after all, I didn't change at all when I had my shots and I never got exposed to mercury as a kid and I never ate fish or tuna, so it don't make sense to me.

Sure.

I think a lot of the site is rubbish.

Its not as bad as this:

I think a lot of the internet is rubbish, frankly. And the whole thing about vaccination causing autism doesn't make sense. A while ago, there was a rumour in the media that the MMR vaccination that's required for most children in the USA (and probably the UK, Canada and Australia, but correct me if I'm wrong) caused autism. Firstly, this is false because there has been no established direct link between the two. Many parents are led to the false belief because autism is usually discovered and diagnosed at about the same time that children are vaccinated (between one and four years of age). Upset by the rumours (which I suspected were false anyways), I decided to contact the CDC about this:


Me: I recently heard via a friend that there was something in the MMR vaccination that was linked to an increased risk of the levels of autism and related disorders. Is this true? Also, do you have any information on any possible links between the two?

CDC reply: Current scientific evidence does not support the hypothesis that measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, or any combination of vaccines, causes the development of autism, including regressive forms of autism. The question about a possible link between MMR vaccine and autism has been extensively reviewed by independent groups of experts in the U.S. including the National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine. These reviews have concluded that the available epidemiologic evidence does not support a causal link between MMR vaccine and autism.


So, there you guys go. These websites are so pathetically hilarious that it's no wonder that the rest of the (NT) world believes all the junk they're trying to cram down our throats!
