Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hi everyone. I know that as a group, we all do not agree on what causes autism but can probably attest that our kids need help and need the medical community to really focus on treatments for what the group has evidence is an immune related disorder. For Autism Awareness, we are urging that people contact the American Academy of Pediatrics to start a campaign to demand treatment. I know that there have been many studies regarding the role of vaccines but as a group, we believe that although a safe and/or delayed vaccine schedule is important but continuing to study this role will not help us produce treatments to help our children now as they are for what I think a lot of us could describe as a disease due to physical symptoms, typical development and then regression, etc, that were are not present in cases of Kanner autism. Also, the numbers of diagnosed cases is increasing expotentially and this cannot be explained by a developmental disorder otherwise other developmental disabilities would be seeing the same increases. So with an open mind, I urge you to visit the site and if you disagree, perhaps we can agree that as parents we need to take action and advocate for our children because we would not be part of this group unless what we share is that we are devoted. Here is the website: http://www.nids.net I would urge you to take some time to read through the site and help us advocate for our children by writing to the Academy of Pediatrics (as listed at the bottom of the website), your pediatricians, visiting us on Facebook under , etc. It is understandable that we are all busy and stressed out with our daily lives, but I urge all of you as parents to take the time to join us so that we could positively affect our children's future. It is worth a shot but I would mention that if we speak about vaccines, we will continue to be ignored. Again, I am not saying that this is not a trigger, but this issue has been so polarizing and basically written off by the Academy that I can guarantee you that if we approach it in this matter, nothing will be done for our children. Let's focus on getting them better now If the medical community can cure Polio, prolong the lives of people afflicted with AIDS, and almost wipe out or manage other diseases, why can it not be autism?? If like me, you are worried about the future for your child or children, why not give it a try? Dr. Goldberg has had many success cases and the specifics are outlined in his book The Myth of Autism. Even with the success that he has had with many of his cases and believe me, he and his wife are absolutely dedicated to this cause, he realizes that there is a large portion of the population that responds to his protocol, but needs better standard treatment in order to advance further. Have a nice night. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
