Topic: URGEN****ch "Meet the Press" this morning!!
Hi folks,
Sorry for the last-minute notice. There will be a debate on "Meet the Press" Sunday morning featuring the author of "Evidence of Harm" David Kirby pitted against Harvey Fineburg of the Institute of Medicine. It will be the second segment of the show and they will be discussing the autism-thimerasol/vaccine connection and possible government coverup.
I urge everyone to watch this show this morning -- check your local tv listings for airtime on NBC stations.

Topic: ADHD-Autisim, Is there a connection?
Hello. My name is Larissa Amador and I'm a teacher in Puerto Rico. At the moment I'm back in school to get certified as a Special Ed. teacher and as part of the program I have to do an investigation and I decided to do it on children that share characteristics with ADHD and Autism. I believe that there is a strong connection between both. Is there any opportunity that someone can share with me some information? My email address is [email protected] Thank you.
Topic: RE: Autism and Obesity
I agree with Heather, it does sound like your daughter is self-limiting her food consumption to gluten-containing foods for the "buzz." When we removed gluten and casein from my son's diet, he immediately came out of his "fog" and was more open to learning and less oppositional. We went cold turkey with him and the first three weeks were sheer hell with his withdrawals.
A good book about this is Karyn Seroussi's "Unraveling the Mystery of Autism and PDD."

It sounds like your daughter is addicted to gluten. Autistic kids can have huge problems digesting gluten, casein(dairy protein) and sometimes soy or other food items. The gluten protein gets into the bloodstream too soon, and it is picked up by the opiate receptors in the brain, so she is always craving her next "fix". The only way to break the cycle is to go gluten-free. I know it's hard, but when we took my son off, it was like a heroin junkie on detox. He vomited, got the shakes, and then slept on and off for 3 days. When he "woke up" he was ready to learn, not so quick to tantrum and scream. He has come so far, and boy do we see a difference if he gets something with gluten or casein in it! We know we're in for several difficult days. Check out gfcfkids.com

I also have a son with AS-I had trouble getting him special ed, but I found that requesting a congressional review did wonders to get things moving. Get in touch with your local US congressman and your US Senators. If you have good ones, you will see feathers fly trying to help you. I know you posted this almost a month ago, but I thought you might find it helpful-Dana Hornby

BJ,
I've never heard of that book! I'm so glad you posted this! I have to tell you, I was reading that the people in the Amish communities have a very very low intstance of autism, why??? Because most DO NOT VACINATE!!!
The DPT shot did my little boy in, he is very low functioning. He will be 3 but has the mind of an 8 month old baby.
Hugs

Topic: Evidence of Harm -- MUST READ
Hi all,
I am a few chapters into reading the new book by David Kirby called 'Evidence of Harm' and I have to say it has me alternately in tears and then furious. It explores the thimerasol (vaccine) and autism connection in great detail.
I highly recommend this book. I just checked it out of our local library.
