“Excellent report as always David. Thank you for your outstanding work.

And it certainly doesn't help the situation at all to read something like this in my home state dated December 12th 2009:

..."Yet for nearly 30 years, Ash Grove's plant pumped mercury into the air at will, undetected and unrestrained by state or federal agencies."

Especially after seeing this graph with Oregon now in 2nd place:

Can't wait to read in a few years (can't believe it takes so long!) what CDC will say the number of children having Autism are as my one 6 yr old twin son is currently not part of their recent figure being from 2002-2006. (he was born July 31, 2003, started to regress late 2006, officially dx'd with ASD Aug 2007).”

“Well said. And thank you for the link.
I received 8 vaccines my entire life.
My 20 year old daughter received 9 vaccines by the time she turned 5 years old.
My now 6 year old twin boys received 40 vaccines by the time they turned 48 months old (was assured it was safe, even though they were born 4 weeks early, and not to worry, and they MUST have them anyway, or would not be allowed to attend public schools)

One twin boy started to regress around 34 months old. Had no idea what was going on. Dr admitted that one twin has Autism and gave them 8 more vaccines on this very same day of diagnosis before we even had a chance to know what Autism was.

Thank you Dr Tenpenny for your outstanding thorough work!”

“Every state in the US has vaccine exemptions. Please don't believe the lies about not being able to go to school. Every American child is offered free schooling and that can NOT be taken away. Every government school in this nation has children who are not vaccinated, or who are not up to date on vaccinations.

I think people should spend some time looking for never-vaccinated kids who died from Diphtheria or Measles or Mumps or Chickenpox or better yet - find the same number of kids dying from SIDS who were not vaccinated. The number should match the vaccinated population - no? The number of Autism among the never-vaccinated should also match the general population. Sadly, it doesn't.”

“I can totally relate to this article, so much so I'm in tears.

If ONLY I could turn back the hands of time and tell the Dr NO (w/o getting reprimanded or else talk) to the 40 vaccines they gave our twin boys EACH by the time they hit 48 months old. If only I stood my ground and said NO! TOO MANY TOO SOON! maybe Cameron would not have received his Autism diagnosis at 48 months old - on the very same day the Dr gave our twin boys 8 MORE vaccines each! (how ironic! Couldn't give us a chance or choice to understand wth was Autism before she stabbed 8 more vax's in our twins on the same day).

We are just another family that NOW understands it's TOO MUCH TOO SOON and by the time you realize something is going terribly wrong it's TOO LATE.”

"We are just another family that NOW understands it's TOO MUCH TOO SOON and by the time you realize something is going terribly wrong it's TOO LATE."

You are so right. It floors me that people still won't listen to the families that have to live through it. We only speak out for their sake.”

“Precisely!
I recently tweeted back to our Local news (KOIN 6) for making such a scare to folks to get the H1N1.. How their one story was talking about a FERET getting the Swine flu -- And in the story, it states the Feret is recovering well now etc.
(find it on page 5 as of today)
http://www.koinlocal6.com/content/news/topstories/story/Swine-Flu-Central/Nt_5K7msDUSkmTN0bXC1ag.cspx?p=5

I tweeted back to KOIN "So did the Feret get the vaccine?"
They replied "No. Maybe that's why he got sick."
I tweeted back "Well he recovered on his own AND WITHOUT the vaccine therefore, IMMUNE for life"”

“As a parent of 6 year old twin boys, with one having Autism, this is very upsetting and every parents nightmare, fear and worry. It's no wonder more are home schooling.”

“We began home schooling my autistic son two years ago for similar reasons. Our public school system in general needs a complete overhaul.

While this incident is absolutely frightening to parents of children with disabilities, it is not as rare as one might think.”

“I am in my 40's. Lived in Portland, Oregon ALL my life. Have never known a friend or family member with Autism.

I now have three children. One 20 yrs old, (from previous marriage) and twin boys born 4 weeks early by C section (with a shot of some steroid to help their lungs) born July 31st 2003.

By the time they reached 34 months, I (and me alone) thought something was going terribly wrong but was told I was over reacting! Cameron started up strange behaviour - stopped talking, stopped looking at us, stopped potty training, stopped walking and standing NORMAL and started up TOE WALKING .... Finally, on the day our twins received EIGHT more vaccines at 48 months, on Aug 13 2007, the pediatrician admits Cameron has Autism - the toe walking gave a clue!

I have no idea where the ACTUAL numbers are at now, but I do know that my one twin son is now part of that number, and we are a hell of a lot higher than what has been told to us.”

dugmaze replied on Oct 09, 2009 at 22:17:46

“I'm 39 and grew up in a farming community. Everyone knew everyone. We had two kids in special education classes and they were just slow, not autistic by any means. One of them was my close friend and neighbor.

Now we have to raise money to help out the school district's autism program.”

From this family's point of view the REAL Pandemic is: AUTISM.

AUTISM is something Rep. Edolphus Towns and other government officials should REALLY worry about and for more than MANY reasons now and in the future. But then again, what does this hard working, tax paying, voting citizen know?”

“Thanks for the information, CamJam. I wonder what new lines Insel will share? This one might be his "get out of jail" card....

“The concern here is that buried in these numbers is a true increase,” said Dr. Thomas Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health.

For those who don't know, Dr. Insel has denied this increase as children have succumb to autism on his "watch" as he has a leadership role in the IACC on autism:

Yet talk about a HUGE conflict for him to be involved in the IACC, as the discussion of vaccines keeps being denied by him and here is a very good reason why:

“Now I'd like to hear from you...
*Ok

Are you raising a child with autism?
Yes (actually have twin boys, of which one regressed: lost speech and eye contact, started toe walking around 34 months old, quit going on the potty, refused to eat certain foods he used to eat ect. Finally dx'd with ASD shortly after they turned 4 years old) They've recently turned 6 yrs old and he is still in diapers to go #2.

How is he or she being treated?
As much as we can afford on one income and relying on public educational school system, which also runs on a shoe string budget.

Have you tried any of the approaches here?
Would like to but can't afford the tests, dr visits etc.
However, we have given him 250 mcg melatonin a night for sleep (a very small amt is all that is needed), it helps him get much needed rest and he is happier the next day. It also naturally raises glutathione. We also avoid Tylenol because it reduces glutathione. At age 4 yrs old we refused to put him Ritalin per the dr's recommendation (that is all they would do for him and saying there is no cure for Autism)
So instead of Ritalin, (after my own research, again) he takes 50 mg of Sunthianine twice a day. It helps him calm down and without side affects and he is able to stay alert and learn etc.”

Don't get me wrong though. I've seen what cancer has done to several of my family members. BUT! many have lived long happy lives before getting cancer and they received the best of care through INSURANCE when they did get their cancer conditions.

But when it came to our one twin son dx'd with regressive ASD, right after he turned 4 years old in Aug 2007, we found out wth AUTISM was:

I've always wondered how someone so gentle and shy could perform so brilliant in front of billions. He was and will forever be the most amazing person I've ever seen.

Gone too soon... but the KING OF POP will never be forgotten.
