Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I realize my Huffington essay was rather long and complicated. Here is a brief synopsis of just SOME of the larger points raised in the piece. I will probably alter this a little, but it hits most of the main topics. Please feel free to circulate - DK ¡ü Up to 1 in 50 children (2%) may have a genetic mutation that puts them at risk for mitochondrial dysfunction. ¡ü Up to 20% of all children with autism may have an underlying mitochondrial dysfunction ¡ü Children with mitochondrial dysfunction are more likely to regress into autism between the ages 1 and 2 years, if they have fever or illness from viral infections or vaccines. ¡ü The CDC is aware of this difficult situation and is taking measures immediately to address the current national vaccine schedule. ¡ü The genetic susceptibility for mitochondrial dysfunction in autism is inherited through the father, not the mother, as previously thought, and is not rare at all. ¡ü The DNA mutation might not be enough in itself to confer cellular dysfunction, and many doctors believe there is an environmental trigger as well. ¡ü They note that thimerosal, mercury, aluminum, pollution, pesticides, medicines and prenatal alcohol exposure have all been shown to damage mitochondria. ¡ü Other doctors believe that a corn-byproduct based diet in America has put children in a constant inflammatory state, thus making the DNA mutation more pathogenic. ¡ü While some children with mitochondrial dysfunction regress into autism following fever and illness from a viral infection; other kids, like Hannah Poling, clearly regress following a reaction to vaccines. ¡ü The exact percentage of people with vaccine induced autism is unknown. But even a 1% rate could mean 10,000 Americans with vaccine related autism, at a cost of many billions of dollars for lifetime care. ¡ü Some changes in the vaccine schedule will almost surely be made. The most difficult decision is how and when to vaccinate children with proven mitochondrial dysfunction. ¡ü This hot topic will be the subject of a daylong meeting of the HHS National Vaccine Advisory Committee's Vaccine Safety Working Group, in Washington, DC on April 11.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 How about the obvious (since my son does/did not have a genetic mutation, but did have hypotonia ---- his P & L levels were elevated BY vaccine thimersol and after no vaccines for almost five months, the levels returned to normal). Since the entire population is now exposed to the crap we call environmental toxins, those inutero/post-utero cause the genetic mutation. Then you add the thimersol, aluminum, radiator fluid, etc. to contribute to the condition.I urge all of you to read the 60-page report by Environemntal Working Group called Pesticides and Human Health. This goes into just more than bug spray and considering the amount of medical paperwork that comes across my desk that I read, I am relying on my memory when I say that I DO recall seeing the words, mitochondria in this report. By the way, this document is key in getting pesticides out of your child's school. Use it for that purpose.Also, please note that one of the editors (doctors) who approved this report (I think) is that Harvey person who gave his opinion on Larry King about the Poling case. I just remember not liking what he had to say about a vaccine association to autism. Rox Bullet Point Summary I realize my Huffington essay was rather long and complicated.
