Thread: The Next Big Autism Bomb: Are 1 in 50 Kids Potentially At Risk?

On Tuesday, March 11, a conference call was held between vaccine safety officials at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, several leading experts in vaccine safety research, and executives from America's Health Insurance Plans, (the HMO trade association) to discuss childhood mitochondrial dysfunction and its potential link to autism and vaccines.

It was a sobering event for all concerned, and it could soon become known as the Conference Call heard 'round the world.

I am starting to think this is all by design.

The investigation of the over-stimulation in response to the vaccines should be a top concern to health officials at this point. To stick with this "one size fits all" mentality on the schedule for getting the vaccines is absurd. I agree that we should be testing children for low cellular energy. But I don't have much faith that this will happen anytime soon. The CDC's website still states "simultaneous vaccination with multiple vaccines has no adverse effect on the normal childhood immune system." More investigation into this matter needs to be done.

A large part of the Autism scare is that there are new classifications on a very broad spectrum of disability. That is, what was once classified as a simple learning disability, or a slow kid can, now be classified under the broad umbrella of Autistic disorders. It's not that more people are "catching" it, it's that all sort of previously unknown disorders can now be called Autism.

While this is true, it doesn't negate the findings of that there should be an investigation into the correlations of children with low cellular energy having autism. I personally don't advocate getting rid of vaccines, but if spreading the vaccines out over time could prevent children from developing the disorder (or any other disorders), it should be considered.

When vaccines are more of a risk to our children then they help then I say get rid of them. Hell when I was a kid you got mumps, measles, and a few other things. You did not get autism, that was something that about 1 in 2500 were born with. Now i in 150 get it and that looks like it's about to change for the worse. Another thing I will never get is a flew shot, hell Alzheimers is affecting people in their 30's, got to love that.

I don't get the flu shot either. Been an ER nurse for 10 years and have never had the shot or the flu....knock on wood. I can understand where you are coming from about vaccines, but I still believe some are important. Correlation does not equal causation and at this point I am personally not convinced that doing away with vaccines would be a good thing.

The problem in the anti-vaccine movement is the chant of Mercury, Mercury, Mercury! I am ASD although very high function due to the Bethesda diet being still known when I was diagnosed with psychomotor epilepsy. (old style Asperger's syndrome like infantile Schizophrenia used to = autism.) ASD has a fairly simple set of causes:

Inherited tendency to higher neuron density: ASD is spreading in part as survival of the fittest. All other things being equal ASD increases IQ by 1-2 sd. Competing higher IQ genes increase the probability of totally disabling neurological damage more than ASD genes for the same level of increase in intelligence. Sociobiology and various high IQ forums have threads on the various competing high IQ genes (a very long list) but ASD has the best cost/benefit ratio and therefore its costs are better known. So in large part the ASD explosion is artifact, as in the posts of senior members on this forum make me think about 40% are also ASD.

Reduction in the percentage of Essential Fatty Acids in diets to avoid spoilage. Since more neurons means more need for mylar sheathing to insulate the neurons and the mylar is made up of EFAs this causes unnecessary pathologies.

Any of the many possible contaminants involved in vaccination can cause neurological damage and the damage is cumulative.

What is ASD? Is it a good thing - "ASD is spreading in part as survival of the fittest." or a bad thing - "I am ASD although very high function due to the Bethesda diet" or both?

It sounds like you're saying it's some genetic thing that makes you smarter but ***** you up in some way. How bad is it?

ASD~Autistic Spectrum Disorder

My son is 8. He has Asperger's Syndrome, which falls in this spectrum. While he is highly intelligent, he has problems in social situations. He takes everything literally, and lacks emotional reciprocity. He has to learn what comes naturally to others.

Alzheimer's has always had the capacity to affect people in their 30s. The only difference is that only recently was the condition identified as "Alzheimers."

Here's an excerpt from an article:

The Alzheimer's Disease Society does not believe the illness is getting more common among the young - only that doctors are now more aware that it can affect younger people.

BBC News | HEALTH | Alzheimer's: A disease of the young?

And another, suggesting that the condition is genetic:

In the study, Reiman and his team conducted brain scans on 12 patients with a gene mutation linked to Alzheimer's. They compared these scans with those from 15 patients who were not carriers of the gene. All the study subjects were between 20 and 39, an age which is usually decades before the onset of Alzheimer's symptoms.

Reiman said they found that the gene carriers had an abnormally low level of brain glucose metabolism, when compared to the non-carriers. He said the low level of metabolism occurred in the same sections of the brain that other studies have shown are most dramatically affected in Alzheimer's patients. Earlier studies have found low levels of glucose metabolism in the brains of patients with mild and severe Alzheimer's.
