According to some people there is, but there's a bigger link between not being vaccinated and death.

Got that done with a homeopath. He can now talk, walk, read, play, touch things that he couldn't, wear clothing, etc etc . And on the very first day of detoxing the vaccines, he had his color return in his lips and spoke his first words "I love you mama" and kissed me, which he has never done. They were removed in opposite order from which they were put in. He continues to progress and never ever gets sick. He is the healthiest child I know. I also had his sister detoxed and they were calling her normal. She no longer screams and bangs her head etc . This is a very short , short version. There is a moral choice and it is decided.

- BTW have you looked at vaccine ingredients. They will and do not cure ANYTHING! I had children that reeked of the smell you preserve dead people with and frogs in science class. Look at the ingredients. The polio was the very worst coming out right along with the dpt's. I know hundreds of kids that were detoxed because of my children and they all saw similar things and they all have progressed. There is work to be done after that, and I am doing it, but it doesn't involve mainstream "medicine" and it actually works. It is not a life sentence or a lifelong treatment of drugs. These are the lucky ones. For the people that refuse to look, their children do not get better from what I have seen. They get regimented and treated like dogs mostly, at schools etc. They have para's that know nothing mostly, and their parents live for what little respite care they can get. They endure stuff in courts etc. I do not have a law suit. I am only interested in getting his life completely back.

- In the UK scientists have found no link between MMR & autism: The Andrew Wakefield paper that started the scare, published in The Lancet in 1998, reported only the anecdotal suspicions of a few parents who thought their children’s autism started when they were given MMR. It had no controls, it presented no evidence, and it has been so thoroughly discredited that the journal’s editor admits he should not have run it. Several epidemiological studies, which have compared the prevalence of autism with MMR vaccination rates in Britain and abroad, have found no association. Autism specialists, virologists and paediatricians have long spoken with one voice: the triple jab is as safe as any other vaccine. As a result of the scare, measles and mumps have made a comeback; the first measles death in the UK for 15 years was reported in 2006, and at least two of last year’s cases required treatment in intensive care. Measles can also cause brain damage.

From http://www.mercola.com/1999/archive/link_between_autism_and_vaccinations.htm

Responding to a new report released yesterday by the California Health and Human Services Agency revealing a 273 percent increase in California children diagnosed with autism during the past decade, the National Vaccine Information Center and three other advocacy organizations representing parents of autistic children are calling for independent scientific research into whether increased vaccination in early childhood is a contributing co-factor to the development of autism.

According to the California State Department of Developmental Services (DDS), in 1998 there were 1,685 new cases of children diagnosed with autism with an incidence rate, based on 1998 population figures, of one in 312 California children now being diagnosed with autism. These figures include only children served by the California Developmental Services System and do not include the more than 13,500 children aged zero to three years in the state’s Early Start Program, yet to be diagnosed, most of whom present with language and developmental delays. Autism as a percent of the total clients’ population served by California’s regional centers nearly doubled between 1987 and 1998, with the most significant increases seen in young children less than nine years of age.

It has been widely accepted that between two to five cases of autism occur per 10,000 live births in the U.S. Based on these estimates, only one in 2,000 to one in 5,000 births in California should eventually be diagnosed with autism instead of the one in 312 which actually occurred in 1998.

The DDS report stated that "the number of persons entering the system with autism has increased dramatically over the past 11 years relative to the other three developmental disabilities (cerebral palsy, epilepsy and mental retardation)" and "compared with other disabilities, net growth in the number of persons with autism is on average about three times greater each year." DDS predicted that the autism population in California would continue to grow and that "independent study of the factors that have contributed to the increase" needs to be conducted.

Calling the report "a warning bell," and pointing out that the dramatic rise in autism in young children during the past decade coincides with dramatically rising vaccination rates in California and other states, the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) joined with Autism Research Institute (ARI), Cure Autism Now (CAN), and Autism Autoimmunity Project in endorsing the state agency’s call for independent scientific research to investigate causes of autism. The parent groups are urging that immunization be examined as one of the possible biological co-factors involved in the development of autism in some children.

"Parents are reporting to our organization in record numbers that their children are becoming autistic after vaccination. Our experience in the past 17 years has been that, as immunization rates have increased significantly in all states, we have seen an increase in reports of vaccine reactions, including immune system dysfunction and autistic behaviors." said NVIC cofounder and president, Barbara Loe Fisher.

Bernard Rimland, Ph.D., founder and director of Autism Research Institute (ARI), said "Our database includes thousands of cases of previously healthy children who began exhibiting autistic behaviors soon after getting a routine vaccination." Portia Iverson, founder and president of CAN, the Cure Autism Now foundation, agreed adding "Approximately one-half of the hundreds of parents who call our office each month report that their healthy child became autistic shortly after vaccination." Ray Gallup, Director of Autism Autoimmunity Project, said "We can’t wait any longer to find whether some children are at higher risk than others for developing autism following vaccination."

Six new vaccines were added to the mandatory vaccination schedule in the U.S. between 1963 and 1998, including five doses of live oral polio; two doses of live measles, mumps and rubella; four doses of HIB; and three doses of hepatitis B vaccine. During the same time period, vaccination coverage rates rose in American children under age three from between 60 and 80 percent in 1967 for MMR, polio and DPT vaccines to between 80 and 95 percent coverages in 1997 for DPT; MMR, polio, HIB, and hepatitis B vaccines.

The April 2, 1999 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report published by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that "Overall, U.S. vaccination coverage is at record high levels. In 1997, coverage among children aged 19-35 months exceeded 90 percent for three or more doses of DPT ... poliovirus vaccine ... HIB vaccine and one or more doses of measles containing vaccine." Additionally, coverage for three doses of hepatitis B vaccine was 84 percent.

Many previously healthy children, who begin exhibiting autistic behaviors after vaccination, also show signs of an immune system dysfunction. Some of the children have been diagnosed with high measles or rubella titers and have had their autistic behaviors eliminated or reduced through therapies affecting immune system function, such as intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) infusions and diet modifications.

If you or your child suffered a reaction to a vaccination that caused an excess of $1000 in medical bills or caused injuries that have lasted longer than six months, you may be entitled to benefits under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (PL 99-660). This federal compensation system was created by Congress to provide reimbursement for medical and custodial care expenses or award a fixed amount in the case of a vaccine-related death. As of February of 2003, 3,482 vaccine victims have received compensation totaling over $1.4 billion. For details call (800) 338-2382 or visit the

  As far as municipal water supply goes, it is the safest water in the country. The EPA regulates it, not the FDA. And the FDA does not "allow" food to be poisoned. It regulates things that are legally defined as "food" according to United States law. They enforce the law, that's it. If a "poison" gets into FDA approved food, it is because
  A) the poison is unregulated by the FDA (in other words it is a supplement)
  B) they messed up and will learn from it.

  Go to you local supermarket and randomly select 10 packaged items with ingredients listed. I guarantee you will find that at least half contain ingredients that are harmful and can be replaced by safe alternatives that are probably a little more expensive.
  Beyond being imperfect, the FDA is downright irresponsible, even criminal.
  As for their being no link, the preliminary evidence of observed behavior directly after receiving vaccinations is evidence enough, coupled with the overall increase in autism since the indoctrination of vaccinations, for any reasonable person to reach the same conclusion.
  The doctors and scientists who came to this conclusion are indeed credible, but they stand against the vaccination indoctrination. Up until now, claims against vaccinations were like heresy.
  As for the water, you're right, it is indeed the EPA that allows water fluoridation.

You have food PRODUCERS (and consumers) to blame for that. This has NOTHING to do with the FDA. If they can't show that a person can reasonably be expected to be harmed by a food or a drug then there isn't much that they can do; they have very limited power. PS - For the sake of credibility you should probably avoid saying that the FDA is irresponsible or criminal without giving an example. THAT'S irresponsible.
  -
  Autism strikes at roughly the same age as MMR vaccines are administered, so some people assume that because the 2 events are chronologically related, that they must also be causally related. That is illogical.
  Autism strikes at this age regardless of vaccination history. There is no plausible mechanism to explain HOW vaccines could cause autism anyway! You may as well blame ME!

Not one major scientific study has found a link between autism and the MMR vaccination and thimerisol.
In fact, one study found that rates of autism rose in California even as the amount of thimerosal in vaccines declined.

Further research is probably indicated, as it's possible vaccines or their components, while not primary causes of autism, may cause autism in a subset of genetically susceptible children, or a neurological condition that resembles autism. However, current research indicates that vaccinations and autism are merely a coincidental link. If MMR and thimerisol really caused autism, the rate of incidence should be vastly higher.

Thimerisol has not been used since 2001, yet the rate of diagnosed autism keeps going up. Personally, I think a companion study should be done charting the manufacturing and advertizing of autism drugs and the rate of diagnoses.

A case was recently adjudicated onvolving a young girl who apparently developed autism after receiving none vaccinations. However, the wording in the court ruling was very specific, saying that while the vaccinations may have aggravated a pre-existing genetic mitochondrial condition, they were not proven to have caused the onset of autism.

There is a great deal of concern in the UK regarding the MMR vaccine and autism.

There is no definitive link and the science behind such claims has been questioned on validity and ethical grounds. However it is still a fairly hot topic and (sadly) became very political, which clouded the issue somewhat (it doesn't matter whether Tony Blair had his son inoculated with a combined or separate vaccines, what matters is the science).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine_controversy

I am unsure, I haven't looked into it much as I don't need to yet. When the time comes I will. Initial reaction is I can't see any prima facie evidence of a connection.

As for other vaccines I am completely unsure.

plenty more where that came from. These days yo can ask the doctors, a lot of them will finally tell you the truth. How about the law suits they pay out daily
Comments
- How about the huge volumes of evidence which heavily suggest that there is no link whatsoever?

I truly think so.. I think it's age and vaccinations that is the problem. my son is 3 mos. I'm terrified to get him immunized because I believe it. My husband and I are fighting over this. I think if we must we should wait until he's older.

- Ask the dr. if he is willing to sign a paper to be responsible for anything that occurs because of vaccines. He will not, I assure you. Tell your husband to look. I have lived in hell along with many people. They will not usually fare as well as my son. I caught on eventually and he has been healing with the help of alternatives that are real medicine. You better look, this is serious stuff. If you are worried about disease, keep the immune system strong, don't assault it with trash.

- If you don't get your kid immunized, he'll insure that the diseases stick around for yet another generation. Thanks a lot. You're killing us all.

- I'm not wanting to stir up old discussions, girlygirl, but have you vaccinated your child yet?

- Angel...a doctor wouldn't sign something that says he'll be responsible for anything that happens as a result of a routine surgery either. The doctor does not have complete control over anyone's body, and no doctor, or anyone else, can predict every event that might occur in your life. A doctor is there to do what he can to help. Vaccines are here because they dramatically reduce the likelihood that children will contract horrible, crippling or deadly childhood diseases like measles, polio, rubella, etc, and because they are relatively safe. These diseases have been under control since vaccines started to be administered, and they are coming back in many places since some irresponsible parents have decided that they know more about immunology than immunologists. Medicine isn't perfect, but it's better than NO medicine. Vaccines are also statistically WAY more effective than any other form of disease prevention. If your kid gets a vaccine he is mathematically FAR less likely to get the disease that it innoculates against than a kid who DOESN'T get the vaccine, and that's a fact. And when an unvaccinated kid gets polio, everyone around him who ALSO didn't get the shot is gonna get it too, and, VOILA! we have an outbreak.
  .
  Again, thanks a bunch for that.

For this and a number of other reasons we chose a pediatrician that does not contract with insurance companies. It gives him the ability to choose whatever medicines, treatments and vaccines he feels are best for our child. I file my own insurance claims and am typically reimbursed for about 75% of the total cost.
You may consider finding someone who offers similar services. He does house calls too if you can believe that!

The possibility of a link between autism and vaccines, suggested in one paper on a tiny sample by a doctor who was later found to have a financial interest in proving the link and to have behaved very unethically, has been researched in depth and no connection found. Whatever the cause of the rise in autism, it is /not/vaccines. This is not to suggest that the rise is not occurring, just that one particular cause has been conclusively excluded. Andrew Wakefield's original group was 8 children, all already known to have intestinal problems; the counter studies have involved 40,000 children from whole populations.

Correlation does not equal causation; Google is not a verifiably qualified source of medical information and Jenny McCarthy is no authority on science.

yes, there definitely is. Of course the autism rates are rising since they stopped putting mercury in the vaccines only a few years ago because the kids are just starting to show it. The "studies" are rigged, and all of the "flu" shots still contain Mercury . Mercury is a potent neurotoxin as is MSG, Aspartame, Aluminum and Flouride. There is a spiritual (I don't subscribe to any religion) war going on and the children are the targets. These neurotoxins destroy their ability to think clearly and they target the penial and the pituitary glands; slowly destroying health and mind. Flouride was first used by Hitler in the public water supply to make people docile and gulliable (research if you don't believe it) and the gov is putting flouride into as many things as it can. Telling us that it prevents tooth decay is hogwash; the truth is that it harms the teeth. If flouride worked why is it that everyone has MERCURY amalgam fillings in their mouths. These neurotoxins are being pushed at us from all directions- alluminum in the baking soda and all baked goods as a result, alluminum in the deoderant; flouride in the water, toothpaste, mouth wash, and not they want to put it in school lunch milks! Monosodiom glutamate is in everything and is even disguised under many names (google all of the sources of Msg. They tell us that msg is natural and is safe; but what they lie about is the fact that in nature, free glutamates,which is what msg is, are very few, but, in processed food the amounts are poison to our nerves!
I'm sorry, but I see a conspiracy here and I don't care if it isn't popular.

Newer studies from 2010 are showing that they are not linked.

Supposedly mercury is no longer put in childrens' vaccines because of the autism connection, but it is still in all of the flu shots; now the gov is pushing for children to have a flu shot every yr from age 1 to 18. Why does no one question motives here?
