Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Hi , Yes, there are vacinnations without Thimarosal. I'm not sure about the safety of a vaccine since there hasn't been enough studies to show that they are safe for our children with autism even without the thimerosal. Congratulations on your grandaughters recovery. Keep the vitamin supplements going. Keep an eye on her digestive system and food sensitivities. Stools should always be firm and soft and not foul smelling - This is a good sign of digestive health. My Best, n Ladyshrink111@... writes: My question is this. Are vaccines without thimerosol okay? And how would you go about figuring out how to get them? If not, what do you do about vaccinations and school. I would appreciate any advice/experience anyone has about how to handle the school, should we decide not to continue with any further vaccinations. Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Dear Group: I have an important question, but: First in the way of introduction, I am the grandmother of a 3.75 year old granddaughter who we believe was firmly headed down the autism path. Even though she is bright (she had taught herself to read at 3), her preschool teacher reported that although she wanted to play with her schoolmates, she did not appear to know how. Although her speech was age appropriate, it was difficult to have a reciprocal conversation with Jordan. A few times when her mother attempted to force a conversation with her, Jordan recited a "Dora" episode. She had a lot of fears (SI) of water, dogs, heights. We never did get a formal diagnosis of Jordan's condition, but I have been a marriage, family and child therapist for 12 years and I had seen plenty of children with Asperger's Disorder and PDD. To make a long story short, at that time, we improved her diet, began to supplement what she wasn't getting from her diet and the improvement was remarkable. She is now (according to her preschool teacher) age appropriate socially. According to the developmental pediatrician we saw at Akron Children's Hospital, she does not have a diagnosis of Autism or PDD. Her fears are simply gone. We are immensely grateful. Like most of you, we believe that Jordan's difficulties began with ear infections at 15 months, repeated immunizations with thimerosol and the resulting damage to her liver and other systemic organs. My question is this. Are vaccines without thimerosol okay? And how would you go about figuring out how to get them? If not, what do you do about vaccinations and school. I would appreciate any advice/experience anyone has about how to handle the school, should we decide not to continue with any further vaccinations. Thank you, ----- Original Message ----- From: The Marotta Family Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 5:30 PM Subject: [ ] more on thimerosal Hi all. In case you are interested in possibly more evidence linking thimerosal and autism, here is an email that was posted on another list I belong to. Gives you something to think about. Marotta ********************************************************* This was forwarded to me on a local (California) list, from RickRollens, co-founder of the MIND Institute at U.C. . >> According to information released today by the California State>> Department of Developmental Services (DDS), California's>> developmental services system has just experienced the first ever>> nine month sustained reduction in the numbers of professionally>> diagnosed new cases of full syndrome autism being added to>> California's developmental services system.>>>> The data compares new intakes from the most current three consecutive>> quarterly periods (October 2003 through June 2004) to all other>> previous October through June time periods.>>>> Not only did the most recent three consecutive quarter period produce>> the first sustained reduction in the 35 year history of California's>> developmental services system (197 fewer new cases then the previous>> October through June period), but the most current recently completed>> quarter, April 2004 through June 2004, produced the all time largest>> reduction of any quarter (108 less cases) in the history of the system.>>>> DDS only reports professionally diagnosed cases of full syndrome DSM>> IV autism and DOES NOT include PDD, NOS, Asperger's Syndrome, or any>> other autism spectrum disorder in this reporting category.
