    Autoimmunity: The Intersection of Toxic Metals and Microbes?

    Have you noticed the recent dramatic increases in autoimmune diseases and neurological dysfunctions? Has your neighbor or your niece been recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or late-onset type 1 diabetes? Maybe you know someone whose kids all have some combination of PANDAS, ADHD, and autism? We’ve explored the explosion in neurological conditions on this website many times before, and while we haven’t covered autoimmunity in the same kind of detail, we have been keenly aware of a concomitant and related increase in all forms of autoimmunity, all of which are considered “incurable.”

    Victory Over Autism — Practical Help for Families Seeking Recovery

    Autism is so common these days (the latest estimate in the U.S. is 1 in 45 children) that the autism section of the bookstore or library doesn’t come close to resembling the autism section of 1975 when the autism rate was considered to be about 1 in 100,000. I know this for a fact because I actually read all the books in my local library back then; I don’t remember the exact number, but I’d say there were less than 10. In contrast, I checked for “autism” in the “books” category on Amazon today and got back 15,538 items.

Indeed, many have used homeopathy to treat autism with varying results.

    Un-Investigative Journalists Miss the Obvious: Jenny McCarthy’s Son Has Autism

    I keep thinking I’ll write about something other than vaccines because, believe it or not, I am interested in many other health-related topics that I’d love to share with you. But then the propaganda machine cranks up to promote some new (or, in this case, old) outrageous law, story, or video . . . aaaaand I’m right back where I started. Sometimes I feel like Al Pacino in The Godfather: Part III, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!”

    Mirror Neurons and Imitation: Another Piece of the Autism Puzzle?

    We’re always hearing about how autism is a puzzle. “They” don’t know what causes it or what treatments are most effective. If you listen to what “they” say, you would believe that there is nothing that can be done to help your child. But a number of pieces of the puzzle have been worked out by parents and researchers that have received little to no publicity.
