Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm sorry, but my emails are all messed up with the miralax group. I sent a bunch of email responses in the last week, but they all just came through on my email just now. So, sorry if they just filled your box as well. Anyway, due to my email problems, I don't know if anyone responded to this post, but I was floored when I read it! Thanks for sharing it! Parts of this describe my son - actually all of it does, but not in a severe way. God, how could I have NOT known about this stuff?? People get on my case because I'm constantly questioning doctors and what they do - but when you read this kind of information, you can't help but be entirely skeptical of the medical field. No offense to any doctors here, as there is definitely a place for medical intervention. But vaccines and what they do to our kids is a completely different story. Wow - I'm just taken aback with all this incredible info. ~ Tracie Vitamin A >>> Autism and Vaccinations>> By Megson, MD>> I have practiced pediatrics for twenty-two years, the last fifteen years > seeing only children with developmental disabilities, which include > learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, cerebral > palsy, mental retardation and autism.>> In 1978, I learned as a resident at Boston Floating Hospital that the > incidence of autism was one in 10,000 children.
