UW-Madison researcher Shattuck concludes that special

International Hyperbaric education figures being used are " faulty and

do not substantiate such a claim " (that there is an autism epidemic).

Shattuck seems to be saying that all the reported autistic

children have always been here, they were just called something else.

( T. Shattuck: The Contribution of Diagnostic Substitution to the

Growing article Administrative Prevalence of Autism in US Special

Education, Pediatrics 2006; 117: 1028-1037)

As a pediatrician, who has been in practice for over two

decades, I find it more than a little insulting as well as disturbing

to have someone say that these children were always there. As a

scientist, I find the current approach to the autism epidemic – " The

Emperor's New Clothes " approach - to be deeply disturbing. For years

the vaccine division at the CDC and others have said the reason for

the dramatic increase in autism is due to " better diagnosing " and

" greater awareness. " They have encouraged those like Shattuck to

manufacture uncertainty. Nevertheless, with eighty percent of autistic

Americans under the age of 18, we will see, clothes and all, a

dramatic impact on Social Security in coming years as these children

become dependent adults. There are no studies that have found the

previously undiagnosed or misdiagnosed autistic individuals among

older Americans. They simply aren't there.

We need to address the real reason for the alarming autism rate.

No more secrets or truth-spinning. This is not a faux epidemiological

epidemic, nor an infectious epidemic, nor a genetic epidemic (as there

are no genetic epidemics). That leaves an epidemic linked to some sort

of exposure. Now, the increase of autism has been linked to the

increase in mercury exposure through fish and industrial sources,

amalgam and additionally, through increased parenteral exposure to

ethylmercurithiosalicate.

No controlled, randomized study regarding the safety of amalgam

or ethylmercurithiosalicate exists.

A recent study, using infant Macaca fascicularis primates

exposed to injected ethylmercury or those exposed to equal amounts of

ingested methylmercury, showed that ethylmercuy was retained twice as

much inorganic mercury in their brains in comparison to the

methylmercury exposed primates.(Burbacher T, et al.

Comparison of blood and brain mercury levels in infant monkeys

exposed to methylmercury or vaccines containing thimerosal.

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2005 Aug:113(8):1015-21.)

These primates were exposed to mercury levels at a rate equal to what

children in the United States received via standard childhood vaccines

from 1991- 2003.

Cysteine and glutathione synthesis are crucial for mercury

detoxification, and are reduced in autistic children, possibly due to

epigenetic polymorphisms. (Deth, R.C.: Truth revealed: New scientific

discoveries regarding mercury in medicine and autism. Congressional

Testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives. Subcommittee on

human rights and wellness, Sept. 8. 2004, Waly M et al: Activation of

methionine synthase by insulin-like growth factor1 and dopamine: a

target for neurodevelopmental toxins and thimerosal. Mol. Psychiatry

9, 358-370 2004).

Therefore, autistic children have 20% lower levels of cysteine

and 54% lower levels of glutathione, which adversely affect their

ability to detoxify and excrete metals like mercury. (, S.J. et

al.: Metabolic biomarkers of increased oxidative stress and impaired

methylation capacity in children with autism. Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 80,

1611-1617 2004).This leads to a higher concentration of free mercury

in blood, which then transfers into tissues and increases the

half-life of mercury in the body, as compared to children with normal

levels of cysteine and glutathione. As was shown by Bradstreet et al

(Bradstreet, J et al.: A case control study of mercury burden in

children with autistic spectrum disorders. J. Am. Phys. Surg. 8, 76-79

2003) in a study involving 221 autistic children, vaccinated autistic

children showed about 6 fold elevation of urinary mercury than normal

controls after appropriate mobilization with the chelating agent DMSA.

Delayed detoxification of mercury severely impairs methylation

reactions (required for the correct expression of DNA, RNA, and

neurotransmitters), which further adversely affects growth factor

derived development of the brain and attention abilities. Phospholipid

methylation, which is crucial for attention, is impaired in autistic

and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders. Ethyl mercury levels,

seen ten days after vaccination (Pichichero et al: Mercury

concentrations and metabolism in infants receiving vaccines containing

thiomersal: a descriptive study. Lancet 360, 1737-1741 2002) with

ethylmercurithiosalicate doses lower than what infants received during

the 1990s, produced greater than 50% inhibition of methylation.

In vitro studies have shown that ethylmercurithiosalicate was

more than 100-fold more potent than inorganic mercury in inhibiting

such essential methylation reactions. Inorganic mercury was found to

be 10 fold more potent than lead in inhibition of neuronal

microtubule. (Stoiber, T et al.: Disturbed microtubule function and

induction of micronuclei by chelate complexes of mercury(II). Mutat.

Res. 563, 97-106 2004; Thier, R et al.: Interaction of metal salts

with cytoskeletal motor protein systems. Toxicol. Lett. 140141, 75-81

2003). Inorganic mercury also leads to growth inhibition and

denudation of neuronal growth cones. (Leong, C.C. et al: Retrograde

degeneration of neurite membrane structural integrity of nerve growth

cones following in vitro exposure to mercury. Neuroreport 12, 733-737).

It was also shown that concentrations of

ethylmercurithiosalicate, which can occur after vaccination, induce

membrane and DNA damage and initiate apoptosis in human neurons.

(Baskin, D.S. et al: Thimerosal induces DNA breaks, caspase3

activation, membrane damage, and cell death in cultured human neurons

and fibroblasts. Toxicol. Sci. 74, 361-368 2003).

It has been estimated that about 15% of the population may show

enhanced susceptibility to mercury exposure. Levels of ethyl mercury

found 8 days after vaccination leads to 50% inhibition of methionine

synthase (MS). Compounding this toxic sequelae of

ethylmercurithiosalicate, neurons are unable to synthesize cysteine,

the rate limiting amino acid for glutathione synthesis. Thus, neurons

are most sensitive to mercury toxicity since glutathione is the major

intracellular agent in mercury and heavy metal detoxification. It is

known that ethylmercurithiosalicate and inorganic mercury depletes

intracellular glutathione levels, which subsequently leads to

oxidative stress, neuronal cytotoxicity and death.

In vitro studies suggest that the neurotoxicity of

ethylmercurithiosalicate is enhanced through neomycin and aluminium

hydroxide (ingredients in vaccines) and testosterone, while estrogen

decreases the toxic effects. Estrogen has been shown to decrease the

toxicity of inorganic mercury which may explain the 4 to 1 ratio of

boys to girls in autism. Lead may play a synergistic pathogenetic role

in neurodevelopment disorders and autism. Combination of lead and

mercury resulted in an increase of toxicity in vitro.

--------------

From the Schafer Autism Report www.sarnet.org

--------------

In a first analysis of the VSD datasets, Verstraeten et al had

described a 7.6 to 11.4 fold increase of autism risk in children at

one month, with the highest mercury exposure levels compared to

children with no exposure. In four subsequent separate generations of

the analysis, which involve the exclusion of children with no

ethylmercurithiosalicate exposure and less than two polio vaccines,

the statistical significance disappeared.

Ethylmercurithiosalicate was tested only once, by Eli Lilly on

22 adult patients suffering from meningitis. There was no chance for

follow- up to observe long-term effects, as all of the patients in

this " study " died. Even if follow-up had been possible, damage to the

developing brains of very young children would have remained an

unknown. Eli Lilly said it was safe and the medical community accepted

it. After the creation of the FDA, its use was simply continued. The

federal government has never tested the type of mercury in vaccines

for toxicity. This is an unconscionable oversight failure at best, at

worse it is an example that we have left consensus reality to be

created by the liars, thieves, cheats, killers, and the PR junk

scientists they employ.

So, here we have a real problem, autism affecting 1 in 166 or

even more – where is the public funding? Where is the public outcry?

Where is the response from academia? There isn't any! But in the case

of bird flu, with no real evidence that the H5N1 virus is a health

problem for humans that do not have the most intimate contact with

birds combined with a compromised immune system, billions of dollars

have been allocated to clothe this " Emperor. "

We have troubling glimpses, in the press, of the brand-new

bird-flu containment plan the White House is laying out as detailed in

an April 16 Washington Post piece by Ceci Connolly, " U.S. Plan For Flu

Pandemic Revealed Multi-Agency Proposal Awaits Bush's Approval. "

" ...Experts project that the next pandemic -- depending on severity

and countermeasures -- could kill 210,000 to 1.9 million

Americans…National Guard troops could be dispatched to cities facing

possible `insurrection,' said W. Runge, chief medical officer

at the Department of Homeland Security. ...The federal government --as

well as private businesses -- should expect as much as 40 percent of

its workforce to be out during a pandemic, said Bruce Gellin, director

of the National Vaccine Program Office at HHS. Some will be sick or

dead; others could be depressed or caring for a loved one or staying

at home to prevent spread of the virus. `The problem is, you never

know which 40 percent will be out,' he said. "

Putting down INSURRECTIONS, no more Bills Of Rights for the

duration of the " pandemic. " Chaos! Madness! Protect government workers

first and foremost. All based on ZERO scientific evidence, all this is

swinging into gear. April 15, two days before the above Washington

Post article, an article in the Tacoma Tribune by M.A. Otto. It

reports on a public-health conference in downtown Tacoma, with

featured speaker, Gerberding, the head of the CDC. " `There is no

evidence it will be the next pandemic,' Dr. Gerberding, head of

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, said of

avian flu. There is `no evidence it is evolving in a direction that is

becoming more transmissible to people.' " " Gerberding's comments on

bird flu contrast earlier statements from the federal government that

tended to emphasize worse-case scenarios. "

So, there is no evidence of a pandemic, but thank you for the $7

billion anyway?

We are living in a time where an incredible overplay and lies

and self-aggrandizing behavior and non-science is the norm. Autism is

a real problem, not a potential problem. We have tolerated the junk

science that has covered up the true cause of this epidemic at a

considerable cost to science, the public, and our very way of life in

this country. Is it stretch to realize that by putting our heads in

the sand about the autism epidemic we have made it possible for the

groundwork to be put in place for Marshal Law?

Not something easy to contemplate? Then ask why haven't

pediatricians come forward to demand the end of the use of

ethylmercurithiosalicate once and for all, and to advocate for the

treatment of these children before it is too late? Conflict of

Interest: None declared.
