Re: Re: Dr. Oz Show Recap: What Causes Autism? What To Do About Vaccines?

[Guest guest]

I am glad that Dr Oz did a show in Autism. However I disagree, I think the show

was not informative in the least. You said it let's talk about early

intervention and what that really means. Let's quit spending time on debating

the vaccine issue. It is a heated topic without a true definitive answer at

this time and it is also well publicized. I do think it is important but let's

not spend another 30 minutes talking about it. There are so many issues out

there facing all of us that are never talked about. Where's the show on that?

about how angry he was at Autism Speaks for the " advocacy " group not being

there. Autism Speaks basically said at some other time they would come on to

talk about blah blah blah -but again didn't want any part of the well done show

of what could be possible reasons for the rise in autism.

together all sides on vaccinations and raised many great points.

other variables. Careers included. Older parents tend to live very different

lives- so everything needs to be examined.

range including those that are not autistic) I mean I get it as we all do here

that we are passionate and have our opinions -but other than say Jerry Springer,

haven't all parents watched at least one Oprah show to know that when someone

stands up to ask the panel of experts a question if you are sitting in the

audience you aren't supposed to just start shouting out answers, where Dr. Oz

has to say " Well let's see what the experts have to say " or where the experts

are talking and people are yelling out what they don't agree with. Then again I

don't typically watch Dr. Oz and perhaps that's the way his show always is

-people just randomly shouting out stuff when people are trying to talk.

Oh , we just passed our one year mark but about four hours ago it all came

crashing down. We were out riding bikes Matt had a seizure. I'm having a hard

time dealing and pray we are not going to go back to the way things were.

He did take a break from NV for about two weeks or so but started back up at the

end of last week. Is this the cause or the full moon? Who knows
