Dr. Wakefield makes the news

[Isabelle]

I couldn't get the url, way too many numbers, letters and whatever else.It is in the Daily News under "MMR doctor says: Treat autism with diet and drugs".
"Drugs" but not exactly psychiatric.

Another topic of interest is this one:
"Texas orders anti-cancer vaccine for girls"
My question is, are the girls and boys of today THAT promiscuous? Is the money invested on sex education is for naught? Or, again, big pharma greed is behind?

Isabelle, you can just copy the url from the address bar and paste it into your post.

I don't think its about promiscuity so much as vaccinating before they are sexually active. The story I heard was that it was mandated for 11 & 12 yo girls. Basically it was put on the vaccine schedule, but Texas does have a waver option for personal or religious exemption. I saw this on some news program and it closed with the fact that the governor of Texas has ties to the Pharma Company that makes the vaccine.

so....the diet for allergy induced autism that this Mrs Burke used, was that GF/CF or something else? Anybody know what else they might be referring to here?

Mother's Heart, it sounded to me as if she was talking about GF/CF but I could be wrong. They were discussing anti-inflammatories too. 1st quote from the article ...

He also suffered from chronic diarrhoea, but NHS tests found no cause for the problem.
Then his mother Joanne was advised by a neighbour to change his diet. After four days of cutting out dairy and gluten products, his bowels were much improved.

Perry has ties to Merck and Women in Government. One of the drug company's three lobbyists in Texas is Mike Toomey, Perry's former chief of staff. His current chief of staff's mother-in-law, Texas Republican state Rep. Dianne White Delisi, is a state director for Women in Government.

Thanks for advice to copy and paste, I never ever going to get it sorry :o someday perhaps :rolleyes:

I just brought these topics for comments, I thought the second one was way too irresponsible, rather forcibly oppressive making it mandatory or no school. this is against parents objections.

I like Dr. Wakefield because he is the one who brought forward the gut brain connection mentioned by others, ok, I do not believe that JUST the MMR is behind some cases of autism. In my son's case it was my own weaken immune system (yes, there is a reference to weaken immune system in mothers of autistics) that made him susceptible. Possible, the MMR was the last straw.

But, vaccines, they did had Thimerosal but it does not explain everything.
