US Autism Ambassador Speech Given In Response to

The DENMARK STUDY

First let me say that I want to thank-you for allowing the time to speak out

about autism and to represent those individuals with autism and their

families, this is such an honor and one I do not take lightly. I would like

to thank the " TRUE HEROS OF AUTISM " in this I am speaking of the Parents and

professionals that have risked everything to stand behind individuals with

autism and their families, as I do. People like Dan Burton,

Senator Harkin, DR Andy Wakefield, DR Singh, and other respected individuals

that are not mentioned here, and the parents.

All these individuals speak out bravely even though they know they will be

shunned some even prosecuted by the general traditional medical field, or

other peers. I commend and have respect for these people that have held their

values, integrity, honor, and truth over those who falsely are informing our

communities at large for the gain of money and because of risks of lawsuits.

Once again thank you from the autism community for being there to ensure we

DO get the truth about the connections of vaccines and autism, for it is you

that DO stand behind the people that will continue to fight for the truth and

will not surcome until we do have unbiased research into these connections. I

Promise as the US Autism Ambassador I WILL STAND BEHIND THE PEOPLE ON THIS

ISSUE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE!

There is a lot of concern among the world about the validity of the Denmark

Study and reports surrounding this study, that this report proves there is no

connection to vaccines and autism. In my opinion this study is flawed in the

fact that all vaccines were not addressed including vaccines with mercury.

You cannot make an assumption on one vaccine or one study in comparison to

all vaccines. I also find it concerning that it is being stated generally

that vaccines no longer contain mercury. This is a false statement! Flu and

Pneumonia shots have mercury to list a few. Many previously recalled vaccines

still remain on shelves in doctor offices and hospitals. We have also sent

these vaccines to under-developed foreign countries, have we ensured the

status on the content of those vaccines?

It is a well-known fact that we do have an epidemic of autism. But let me

clarify, we have a pandemic epidemic of autism. Pandemic Epidemic means a

large increase of cases in a large area. Epidemic only means in a small area

with a large growth. So make no mistake we have a pandemic epidemic on our

hands.

When we realized autism was indeed a pandemic epidemic we also realized this

could not in fact be a genetic illness or disorder. There has never in the

history of medical health been a genetic epidemic or pandemic epidemic,

research this as I have and you will find no know genetic epidemics in

history period. Therefore we need to direct increase unbiased research into

the vaccine connections and environmental effects. Make no mistake if we do

not we are in serious trouble.

Growth Of Autism Over The Years:

Ten years ago 1 in 10,000,

Five years ago 1 in 500,

Last year 1 in 250,

Today in California 1 baby born every 3 hours

Next year as many as 1 in 75 - 125

In 2005…. Scared Yet?

There is historical evidence of this. California as explained by Rick Rollens

today in the NVIC Conference stated in California rates of autism is

increasing by 1 child every 3 hours with autism, are you scared yet, I know I

am as well. This is not due to better reporting because autism is to

devastating to the family it would have been caught sooner

So you cannot simply explain this as a " better reporting " as evidence. I know

first hand what autism does to the individual and to the family.

My daughter as many of you know has autism. I know by her medical records,

test results, and evidence I hold in my possession that there is a connection

with vaccines and autism, and have wrote about it in the book I authored

called Autism and Vaccines: The Story A Closer Look. In this book I share

with the readers evidence I have seen. We need more unbiased research to

continue to prove this, until the traditional medical community listens so we

stop putting more children at risk.

We need unbiased testing on the vaccines themselves and increased tracking of

all reactions to all vaccines. This is to say we have no testing to prove the

safety of these vaccines to date let alone the effectiveness of theses

vaccines we give the most precious commodity in our world today… our children

who are our future. This is the future of our world. We need to not only

take this seriously but do something immediately! It is not the true heroes

that have made inaccurate assumptions on these connections but those the

manufactures of the vaccines that can not presume to assume that we the

public will continue to stand by and agree with them when there is no safety

or eveidence to presume they are telling us the whole truth especially when

they have money interests at risk and submit reports that may have been

tampered or altered to show a result in their favor. Which has been proven in

Autism Hearing in 2002.

Today the parents and professionals MUST stand up and speak out. We must not

request but require that we have new and increased research into these

factors, we must demand that these individuals with autism have increased

alternative treatment, therapy, and educational options and rights. We MUST

ensure all individuals with autism and their families have all the critical

steps and access to ALL OPTIONS they need to ensure they can reach their

potential TO THE FULLEST!

We need to make sure all families have the right to a philosophical exemption

until we can ensure proof of the safely and evidence to that fact. We need to

demand that all individuals with autism have health insurance and mental

health parity included in their insurance plans. You would not take away

insulin from diabetics or heart pills from heart patients; you would not take

away radiation treatments or chemotherapy from cancer patients. Not to take

validity away from these truly devastating illnesses.

Still today autism still does not have appropriate health coverage and mental

health parity

to ensure their health and well-being. We all need to stand up and protect

those children who do not yet have autism, to do the best in the power we

have to ensure they will not obtain autism in their near future.

We need to Demand education of all individual families on the risks of

vaccine and autism and we cannot assume that the government will do this. We

as a grass roots effort of the parents and professionals need to take

responsibility to stand up and educate the people.

Remember we have over 1.5-2.5 million families with loved ones with autism

that is over 3-5 million voters with voting power. I know of at least one

legislator that lost their race just a few days ago because of their views on

autism and vaccines it cost them over 6,000 votes. We need to remind

legislators of this fact and remind them we need their help.

Please remember you are the voice for the voiceless. Remember it is your

loved ones, your clients, your students, your patients, and your friends,

that will be effected.

WHEN WILL IT BE YOUR NEIGHBOR, YOUR GRANDCHILD, OR WILL IT BE YOUR CHILD NEXT?

Thank you again for the time to speak today on this issue of great

importance! Please feel free to contact me for additional press comments.

Please feel free to send a copy of this press release to friends, families,

and groups you are associated with.

Peacefully,
