I have a dear friend who has bought into medicating her ADD and her sons ADHD with medication. When I asked if she were ever going to wean him from it her response is that he would be on medication for the rest of his life. She started him when he was 7. In most other areas of her life she's a down to earth person, I feel sad that she thinks she and her son NEED a medication forever.........

Wonderful book that started my eye opening!

The Truth About Drug Companies as well, although the author still buys into vaccines, it's still relevant to our fight.

There is no proof of those who have not been vaccinated. Reccords

are destroyed after a period from a doctor's office or hospital.

First of all an estimated 250,000 people in the U.S. alone die from

hospital borne disease, etc. each year. Autism disables untold

numbers each year and getting worse. Our son is one of them. Once

you have been naturally immunized...it lasts a lifetime. Money and

profit is the only thing that drives vaccination.

Have you consulted a homoeopath I have had some good results with a little boy who was diagnosed with autism

He was being so disruptive at school, the head teacher said they would not be able to have him there, so in desperation his mum rang me because she did not want him to go on drugs. We had a very Quick result I have only seen him three times in seven months. He is still at the school but his behaviour has been transformed.

There is no proof of those who have not been vaccinated. Reccords are destroyed after a period from a doctor's office or hospital. First of all an estimated 250,000 people in the U.S. alone die from hospital borne disease, etc. each year. Autism disables untold numbers each year and getting worse. Our son is one of them.
