Re: Genetic Testing/Yasko

[Guest guest]

I don't understand why parents love Yasko so much. You have to buy supplements

for her and she still blames genes, which we can't do much about!

In my humble opinion, we are dealing with something infectious (a retrovirus)

here. Autism rates have jumped from 1 in 15,000 to 1 in 91. In Dr. Goldberg's

words, when we have an epidemic, it is NOT genetic. However that doesn't mean

that our group of children are not more genetically susceptible.
