Autism, is historically defined as a neurological condition that impairs communication and socialization skills in varying degrees of severity, is stealing away children in frightening numbers. An estimated 1 in 150 children are being diagnosed with this serious medical condition that the American Academy of Pediatrics now considers “epidemic”.
When given this diagnosis, parents are confronted with a plethora of options. Many of the options are based on their pediatrician’s understanding of the disorder and belief in the “possibility” of recovery. The good news is, some children do recover. Each child seems to have to find his or her own road. Remember, all journeys begin with a single step. Below is a short video clip taken from a Documentary titled “Finding the Words.” I hope you will find it both Inspiring and Educational.
I’m frequently asked my opinion on the causes of Autism. If you are reading this, you are probably painfully aware of how controversial this topic is. Most of the controversy is centered around vaccination.
As a physician, I try to look for the “obvious” cause first. I find it amazing how often the “obvious” is overlooked. You know the saying, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. It’s probably a duck. The component in the vaccine that is the most controversial, is Thimerosal, which is a mercury compound. What do we know about mercury? Mercury is a “known” neurotoxin. Meaning it is toxic to the nervous system. This cannot be good for an infant’s developing brain and nervous system.
I always advise new parents to ask a lot of questions when contemplating vaccinating their children. Here are three “extremely” important ones:
If my child is vaccinated, can they still contract the illness or disease they are being vaccinated against?
If my child is vaccinated, can the vaccine possibly cause neurologicaldamage?
If my child is vaccinated, could he or she become deathly ill?
If you have an Autistic child, you now realize the importance of the above questions. If you are a new parent, it is your obligation to become informed. Your child is voiceless in this matter.
