Re: Autism Speaks Exec resigns over vaccine issues

Too bad for her daughter, you can use ABA from now till eternity, but without

biomedical intervention /immune system repair, the child rarely, if ever, has a

shot at recovery...

I thought some of you might find this interesting, here is the link to the whole

article, but I had to copy/paste this one part....

:0http://www.newsweek.com/id/179998(Jodie is her 11 year old daughter...) " Here's

another story. A few weeks ago, Jodie went to the pediatrician. She had Tdap

[tetanus-diptheria-pertussis] vaccine, a flu shot and a vaccine against

meningitis. The next day her teacher remarked to me that Jodie was much more

attentive and participated in class much more than usual. Her gym teacher said

that for the fist time Jodie was able to compete in an obstacle course. Should I

start pontificating that vaccines are a great treatment for autism? Of course

not, that's not science. That's called coincidence. "

Seems to me, the experience of change in alertness the day after 3 vaccines

wouldn't necessarily be a coincidence at all.  It could just as much be related

to a shift in the immune response.  Most people would of course have a hard time

believing there could be a positive response.  But a lot of us have noticed how

a fever brings out a new alertness in our kids.  My youngest ran a 106.9 fever

after months of severe fatigue, and within a couple of weeks, had more energy

and brightness than he had shown in about a year, and that held for several

months afterwards.

I remember seeing something not too long ago about vaccinating w/a specific

bacteria (it might have been about CFIDS or some other illness) in order to

shift or provoke a wanted immune response.

I don't think vaccines " cause " autism, but I think the whole first couple of

years (diet, antibiotics, timing of vaccines, etc).  Not to mention the impact a

mom following the diet during pregnancy can have.  But the political issues

associated with dairy would be as big and hard to overcome as vaccine safety.

Just my thoughts,
