Chilling - when you think about it...

Put something which affects life and death into someone's hands - and take

away accountability.

Mom Slam Dunks AAP Docs on Larry King

King Live, young celebrity Mom McCarthy stood her ground with a

defiant " anecdotal evidence IS scientific evidence " in calling on the

American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to back away from one-

size-fits-all vaccine policies that recommend all babies get dozens

of doses of vaccines. Describing what happened to her son, who

suffered convulsions and nearly died after a round of vaccinations

and then regressed into autism, was accompanied by her

pediatrician, Jay Gordon, M.D., and journalist Kirby in a

face-off with AAP pediatricians Harvey Karp, M.D. and Tayloe,

Jr. M.D.. It was a ground- breaking television debate about vaccine

risks that highlighted the soft underbelly of a medical community

unwilling to deal with the reality that regressive autism is part of

the vaccine injury spectrum.

Watching talk about how she recovered her son from autism using

diet and alternative healing therapies while resolutely rejecting the

tired old platitudes offered up by the two pediatricians trying to

defend the indefensible vaccine schedule promoted by the AAP, I

smiled as I remembered how it was when I was a young Mom in the

1980's and 1990's and debated doctors on TV. Those were the days when

the vast majority of Americans had no idea vaccines could brain

injure children and the U.S. media was often bullied by AAP and CDC

officials into downplaying reports by mothers that their children

died or were brain damaged after vaccination.

The AAP and CDC leadership have essentially joined with the

pharmaceutical industry and stuck their heads in the sand for three

decades, refusing to take action even though parents and a few

courageous doctors have repeatedly come to the table at the CDC, FDA,

NIH and Institute of Medicine and pleaded with them to responsibly

investigate the clear pattern of regression into poor health after

vaccination that so many children are suffering. Pediatricians and

vaccine manufacturers have hidden behind the protection offered by

the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which Congress

gave to them as a gift in an exchange that was supposed to make the

vaccine system safer and more trustworthy.

The sad truth is that the public trust has been betrayed by those

operating a mass vaccination system now crumbling precisely because

there was a refusal to listen to the calls by mothers of vaccine

injured children to take constructive action in the 1980's and 1990's.

Today, those responsible for the betrayal of the public trust will be

forced to deal with a new generation of Moms, exemplified by

McCarthy, who are not starting from ground zero like we did. These

Moms are holding their broken children in their arms and looking back

in anger and disgust at the long, tragic history of denials by those

operating the mass vaccination system. This generation of mothers and

fathers, many of whom will spend a lifetime trying to heal their

vaccine injured children, are standing on a platform of knowledge

built brick by brick by those who have gone before and shouting: " It

ends here and now with me. "

During the Larry King show, announced that she and Jim Carrey

will be leading a march for autism awareness in Washington, D.C. on June 4.

" In light of the recent Hannah Poling decision, in which the federal

think the tide is finally turning in the direction of parents like us

who have been shouting concerns from our rooftops for years. Autism

is a debilitating disorder, which according to the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention, is suffered by 1 in 150 kids, making

it more common than childhood cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined.

Recently, England and Ireland reported that autism is affecting one

in 58 individuals. Is it any wonder that autism has become many new

parents' No. 1 fear? We've met some of the most amazing moms and dads

who are forging their own path to prevention and recovery. When our

son, Evan, was diagnosed with autism we were lucky enough to benefit

from their knowledge and experience. Evan has been healed to a great

extent by many breakthroughs that, while perhaps not scientifically

proven, have definitely helped Evan and many other children who are

recovering from autism. " - McCarthy and Jim Carrey, CNN - Larry

McCarthy: My son's recovery from autism

Actress McCarthy believes that vaccines could have contributed

to her son's autism.

(CNN) -- In light of the recent Hannah Poling decision, in which the

federal court conceded that vaccines could have contributed to her

autism, we think the tide is finally turning in the direction of

parents like us who have been shouting concerns from our rooftops for years.

Autism is a debilitating disorder, which according to the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention, is suffered by 1 in 150 kids, making

it more common than childhood cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined.

Recently, England and Ireland reported that autism is affecting one

in 58 individuals.

Is it any wonder that autism has become many new parents' No. 1 fear?

We've met some of the most amazing moms and dads who are forging

their own path to prevention and recovery. When our son, Evan, was

diagnosed with autism we were lucky enough to benefit from their

knowledge and experience. Evan has been healed to a great extent by

many breakthroughs that, while perhaps not scientifically proven,

have definitely helped Evan and many other children who are

recovering from autism.

There are some who wonder what we mean when we say " recovering " from

autism. They confuse the word recover with cure. While you may not be

able to cure an injury caused in a terrible car accident, you can

recover; you can regain many skills that you once lost. In the case

of autism, we think there are treatments that often bring about such

healing, so that the observable symptoms of the condition no longer

exist. Even though we may no longer see any symptoms of autism, we

can't say a child is " cured " because we do not know what they would

have been like had they never been injured.

We believe what helped Evan recover was starting a gluten-free,

casein-free diet, vitamin supplementation, detox of metals, and

anti-fungals for yeast overgrowth that plagued his intestines. Once

Evan's neurological function was recovered through these medical

treatments, speech therapy and applied behavior analysis helped him

quickly learn the skills he could not learn while he was frozen in

autism. After we implemented these therapies for one year, the state

re-evaluated Evan for further services. They spent five minutes with

Evan and said, " What happened? We've never seen a recovery like this. "

Evan is now 5 years old and what might surprise a lot of you is that

we've never been contacted by a single member of the CDC, the

American Academy of Pediatrics, or any other health authority to

evaluate and understand how Evan recovered from autism. When Evan

meets doctors and neurologists, to this day they tell us he was

misdiagnosed -- that he never had autism to begin with. It's as if

they are wired to believe that children can't recover from autism.

So where's the cavalry? Where are all the doctors beating down our

door to take a closer look at Evan? We think we know why they haven't

arrived. Most of the parents we've met who have recovered their child

from autism as we did (and we have met many) blame vaccines for their

child's autism.

We think our health authorities don't want to open this can of worms,

so they don't even look or listen. While there is strong debate on

this topic, many parents of recovered children will tell you they

didn't treat their child for autism; they treated them for vaccine injury.

Many people aren't aware that in the 1980s our children received only

10 vaccines by age 5, whereas today they are given 36 immunizations,

most of them by age 2. With billions of pharmaceutical dollars, could

it be possible that the vaccine program is becoming more of a profit

engine then a means of prevention?

We believe autism is an environmental illness. Vaccines are not the

only environmental trigger, but we do think they play a major role.

If we are going to solve this problem and finally start to reverse

the rate of autism, we need to consider changing the vaccine

schedule, reducing the number of shots given and removing certain

ingredients that could be toxic to some children.

We take into account that some children have reactions to medicines

like penicillin, for example, yet when it comes to vaccines we are

operating as if our kids have a universal tolerance for them. We are

acting like ONE SIZE FITS ALL. That is, at the very least, a huge

improbability.

Even if the CDC is not convinced of a link between vaccines and

autism, changing the vaccine schedule should be seriously considered

as a precautionary measure. (If you would like to see some ideas for

alternative schedules, check out

rationrescue.org.)

We wish to state, very clearly, that we are not against all vaccines,

but we do believe there is strong evidence to suggest that some of

the ingredients may be hazardous and that our children are being

given too many, too soon!
