Happy Cinco de Linco!!!!!

May 5th, 2010

240884

Another Cinco de Linco day has arrived.  Today is the day I ask my friends and family to visit Lend4Health.org and make a $5 loan (or more, or less – whatever you can do) to one (or more) of the kids.  The kids currently up on L4H are: Will, Milo, Benny, Aydan B. #2, and Christian.

Biomedical treatments are not covered by most insurance companies.  Families dealing with autism are going broke trying to help their kids have a better quality of life. Biomedical treatments work, just look at Charlie – from nonverbal/diapers to happy, chatty 2nd grader.  Please find it in your hearts to help these families… it’s only $5, and it’s a loan, so you get it back.

*** Mother’s day is coming up this weekend, why not give an L4H mom the perfect gift – the gift of health for her child.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!

9 Questions That Stump EVERY Pro-Vaccine Advocate…

April 20th, 2010

9 Questions That Stump Every Pro-Vaccine Advocate and Their Claims
By: David Mihalovic, ND [naturopathic medical doctor]

Since the flu pandemic was declared, there have been several so-called “vaccine experts” coming out of the wood work attempting to justify the effectiveness of vaccines. All of them parrot the same ridiculous historical and pseudoscientific perspectives of vaccinations which are easily squelched with the following 9 questions.

Claim: The study of vaccines, their historical record of achievements, effectiveness, safety and mechanism in humans are well understood and proven in scientific and medical circles.

Fact: The claim is completely false.

1. What to ask: Could you please provide one double-blind, placebo-controlled study that can prove the safety and effectiveness of vaccines? Read the rest of this entry »

From Age of Autism

Dr. Andrew Wakefield suit headshotBy Dr. Andrew Wakefield (See a .pdf here.)

On Wednesday April 7th, General Medical Council (GMC) lawyers will demand that I and likely two other doctors involved in the MMR-autism case should be erased from the UK’s medical register, removing our license to practice medicine. Doctors’ regulators have found the three of us – Professor John Walker-Smith, Professor Simon Murch and me – guilty of undertaking research on children with autism without approval from an ethics committee.
We can prove, with extensive documentary evidence, that this conclusion is false.

Let me make it absolutely clear that, at its heart, the GMC hearing has been about the protection of MMR vaccination policy. The case has been driven by an agenda to crush dissent that in my opinion serves the government and the pharmaceutical industry — not the welfare of children. It’s important to note that there has never been a complaint against any of the doctors by any parent involved in this case — only universal parental support and gratitude.

FROM AGE of AUTiSM

No thank youPlease click iPetitions HERE to send your message in an instant, then forward the petition to your lists, family and concerned friends. Thank you.

Dear President Obama:

We the undersigned oppose the nomination of Ari Ne’eman to the National Council on Disability. Although we salute your effort to include a person with an autism spectrum disorder on the council, the choice of Mr. Ne’eman is wrong for the autism community and wrong for our country.

1) We are a nation in the throes of an autism epidemic, with 1 in 110 afflicted and hundreds of thousands of families struggling to confront the enormous financial and emotional hardships of this disorder. It is an insult to our community and to the people of this nation who will bear the enormous costs of millions of children and adults with autism that a 22-year-old student has been nominated to this position. Mr. President, how can you praise this nominee’s “depth of experience” when he has not held a job, earned a degree or experienced life after college?

2) Mr. Ne’eman vehemently opposes curing autism, calling cure “offensive.” However, Read the rest of this entry »

It’s April 5th, Cinco de Linco Day!!

April 5th, 2010

240884Happy Cinco de Linco!! Today is the day I ask my friends and family to make a $5 loan to one or more of the kids on Lend4Health.org. The majority of biomedical treatments are not covered by insurance. Families are going broke trying to help their children recover from autism. Autism is treatable, our children are getting better… it just costs a heck of a lot of money. Please consider making a loan, you’ll get your money back.

There are currently four loans up on Lend4Health:  Will, Milo, Benny, and Aydan.

If you need a little inspiration, or understanding of how much our kids can improve with biomedical interventions, read THIS.

Children with autism are recovering from the various conditions and illnesses that cause their autistic behaviors/traits.  Please help another child find his way to the path of recovery.

Thanks.

A letter to my family.

I sent this to my family today. Thought I’d share it with you all. Autism is treatable. It’s preventable. Spread the word my friends.

WAAdayIt’s World Autism Awareness Day!

Four years ago Charlie had lost his language, was non-verbal, and diagnosed with autism. A local “autism expert” told Mike and I there was no cure and that Charlie would eventually need to be institutionalized. Institutionalized… Charlie… Think about it. To be honest, I can’t think about it – makes me sick to my stomach, angry, and very, very sad. This “expert” warned us to steer clear of the “witchcraft movement” of parents attempting to treat children biomedically. And as a parting gift, he suggested we let go of any dreams we had for our son in terms of friendships, college, marriage, children. Instead, we were to envision a more attainable dream for Charlie – learning to communicate so that he could express his needs to his caregivers as he grew older.
