CDC Study Shows No Vaccine, Autism Link Research Focused on

Thimerosal-Containing Vaccines

By Salynn Boyles WebMD Health News Reviewed by

J. , MD

Exposure to thimerosal-containing vaccines in infancy or in the womb is not

associated with an increased risk for developing autism, according to a new

study from the CDC.

Children in the study who developed autism

spectrum disorder (ASD) actually had less exposure to vaccines with the

mercury-containing preservative than children who developed normally.

The study is the latest of almost 20 studies

to find no link between childhood vaccinations and autism.

It comes seven months after the first study

that linked vaccines and autism -- conducted 12 years ago -- was

retracted by the journal The Lancet. The U.K. doctor who published the study

was banned from practicing medicine.

Cases of autism continue to rise throughout

the world. The CDC now estimates that as many as one in 110 children in the

U.S. develop ASD, which includes a range of developmental disorders from

Asperger’s syndrome to severe retardation and almost total social isolation.

CDC Director of Immunization Safety and study

researcher DeStefano, MD, MPH, tells WebMD that while the reason some

children develop ASD remains a mystery, the focus should now shift to other

potential causes.

“I don’t think there is much worthwhile to

study anymore with regard to thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism,†he

says.

Vaccines, Thimerosal, and Autism The CDC

researchers examined records from three managed care organizations (MCOs) to

identify 256 children with ASD born between 1994 and 1999 and 752 children

without autism matched to cases by age, gender, and MCO.

It doesn't address underlying issues, like mitochrondrial disorders. I want to know why these types of tests are not being given to our kids? Why are they not available? We could make better decisions about getting vaccinations, if we knew our kids true condition beforehand.

SaraThese tests are in fact available but you need to specifically request them from specialists like an endocrinologist and geneticist. The tests the DAN!s use are not enough. If an individual does in fact have mito issues they are treatable so it is imperative to dig a little. Unfortunately,if your child does not have seizures or another underlying issue you may have a difficult time getting a doc to order the tests, especially if they have closed their minds to a potential mito/ autism connection. Having said all of this, it may not always be possible to obtain a definitive answer in re mito.

I've been asking our pediatrician about it for the past year. He said it's not available in our area yet. I'll inquire with pediatric endocrinologist/ or geneticists, just to make sure.

Thanks for the suggestion,

" not available in our area yet " is utter nonsense, meant to get you to

stop asking.

I recently had to get my husband tested for a possible genetic cancer

link. The nearest lab that did the test (we live in California) was

s Hopkins or Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. I could also

have chosen a lab in Europe or South America. They sent us the tubes

and a mailing box, we took him to a local lab where they drew the

blood and spun it, then mailed it off (for a fee). Any lab can draw

blood for a test that has to be sent out. It is in fact, called a

" send out " . When you get a lab drawn, your local lab will do the

usual routine ones right there. The more esoteric ones take longer to

get back because they are send outs. The lab mails it off or sends it

by carrier. You can walk into a lab like Quest or Labcorp and hand

them the prescription and say " I need a send out drawn " . This is in

fact how labs like Great Smokies and others that cater to our kids

operate. Many of the tests done for the DAN protocol and others work

with labs out of your " area " . For specialized tests there may only be

one or two labs in the country who do the test. If they only did them

on people in their area, they would go out of business. I guarantee

you the local small town lab does NOT do the testing that confirms

Down's or Fragile X (or a hundred other tests, some of which you may

have thought were routine).

Your pediatrician does know about send outs. He may not know which

lab does mitochondrial testing, but if he wanted to, he could have

found out by calling the local lab who would have tracked it down.

Or, any local pediatrician could have picked up a phone and called the

closest endocrinologist or geneticist and ask them which labs they

use. And every lab is run by a pathologist, who is a WEALTH of

information. Pathologists love to talk about what they know (because

they are stuck in their labs and don't get a chance to show off how

cool their subject is often enough), and any doc can call one and ask

for advice on what test to order and how to collect the sample, as

well as what the test results mean. Many specialists are like this--

willing to reach out and help a primary care doc.

You must have a prescription or lab slip that tells them which test to

order and a diagnosis code, and this is obtained easiest at a

geneticist's, but if there isn't one in a rural area, a pediatrician

call call one and talk to him/her and figure out the best way to

diagnose. The NIH site on mitochondrial disorders is below, and as

you can see, sometimes the way to get a sample is by muscle biopsy.

In that instance, the doc would get the biopsy, and then the lab would

send it out. But if the test is available anywhere on the planet, it

is available in your area. That does not mean insurance will cover

it--you may have to pay out of pocket for the processing and the test.

Wow. That's kind of disheartening. I totally believed my son's pediatrician, when he told me (a couple of times), the test wasn't available in our area. I will call him on Monday. Thanks for the info.
