Re: Ellen DeGeneres segment on autism

[Guest guest]

I have programmed my TIVO to capture any show that mentions "autism", and today TIVO captured the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Ellen had a segment about the 11 year old girl described below. During the show, Michala's mom was asked about her autistic son and she described how he was a perfectly normal child until the day after receiving his vaccinations at 1 year of age.

Unfortunately, Ellen did not pursue the conversation with mom and redirected further conversation towards Michala's remarkable effort to sell hand-made bracelets to raise money to provide "free" care for autistic children who cannot afford glutathione threatments that her family believes have been extremely beneficial to her autistic brother.

Michala Riggle

Fifth-grader raises more than $200,000 for autism research

What started as a $7.35 fund has turned into a local and national phenomenon.

After seeing improvement in her brother Evan’s autism symptoms following glutathione treatments, Michala Riggle, 11, was inspired to raise money to begin an autism research study at Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville, Ky. Michala and her parents wanted to know if, like Evan, other children with autism could be helped with glutathione treatments.Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.
