    Vaccines: Allergy, Autoimmunity, Autism, and More

    A while back I wrote a blog stating that, while my own views on vaccines could be considered extreme (I had come to the conclusion that vaccines are not a good idea for anyone), I was very grateful for those whose concerns were much more lukewarm as long as they were willing to express them publicly. In that blog, I didn’t go into the reasons why I had come to that particular conclusion and expressly stated that it was my own opinion based upon years of reading the science behind the interaction of the immune system and injected vaccines. I always had it in the back of my mind to…

    Autism Reversal Toolkit: A New Book for Homeopathic Treatment of Autism

    Anyone who’s followed the Thinking Moms for any length of time is aware that, among other things, we use homeopathy to support health in ourselves and our children. Virtually all of us have found homeopathy to be a remarkable system for healing of a wide variety of physical, mental, and emotional issues. Indeed, many have used homeopathy to treat autism with varying results.

    What Role Does Aluminum Play in Alzheimer’s Disease? Help Fund Historic Research Study

    According to Professor Christopher Exley, Ph.D., of the Birchall Centre at Keele University, Staffordshire, U.K., aluminum is the third most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and the most abundant metal, yet there is no known use whatsoever for aluminum in the human body (Dr. Paul Offit, the vaccine industry’s most zealous spokesperson, notwithstanding). As a matter of fact, there is no evidence that any living or extinct organism has ever had a biological purpose for aluminum. This implies that, despite aluminum’s abundance, bioavailable forms of aluminum have not been part of the human environment until relatively recent years.

    Anti-Science: You Keep Using That Word. I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means.

    It has become fashionable in the media recently to lament the apparent lack of faith people have in science today. “Anti-vaxxers,” in particular, are often singled out for censure as “anti-science.” Nowhere is this trend better exemplified than in a March 2015 National Geographic cover story written by Joel Achenbach: “Why Do Many Reason

    If you’ve been reading our blog for any length of time, you’ll know that we recommend learning everything you can about vaccines, vaccine adverse reactions and their frequency, the means of transmission of each “vaccine-preventable” illness, and the actual likelihood of catching and/or dying from them long before you let anyone come near you or your child with a hypodermic needle.

    The CDC’s Autism Tracking is Lacking

    If you’re not living under a rock you know the CDC came out with new autism numbers yesterday, 1 in 68 children who are currently 12 years old, and 1 in 42 boys. These numbers come from their Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network. You probably already knew that’s an increase from the 1 in 88 we were given for 2012’s 12-year-olds. According to the CDC, we’ve gone from 1.14% of that age group being “on the spectrum” to 1.47% in two years. A 29% increase in two years! And we already knew from a CDC study that came out in 2013 that at least 2% of the children…

    “Opting Out”: New York City Flu Vaccine Exemptions

    As many of you know, the New York City Department of Health, at the instigation of then-mayor Mike Bloomberg, recently approved a new requirement for “all” New York City schoolchildren under the age of six to get an influenza vaccine in order to attend public school or day care. Most articles I’ve seen on the subject contain some version of this sentence: “Parents may opt out for medical and religious reasons.”

    The Evidence on Gardasil: Modern Miracle or Dangerous Scam?

    If you’ve been following us for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed that we frequently point out the dangers of vaccination, because every single one of us knows countless children (and adults) that were injured by vaccines, some of them permanently. In fact, we cover this subject so often that we are listed (page 39) in UNICEF’s report on “anti-vaccination influencers” in Eastern Europe.
