This is the start of the chain reaction, destroyed immunity/metal assault and then assault after assault from enviroment. My sons affects was within minutes of vacs. Typically it is a slow progressive affect that isnt usually noticed until about 1-2 months after vaccine. Most spectrum disorders start around the age of 2yrs, this varies also. Mercury is not the only toxin in vac's &amp;nbsp;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.vaccination.inoz.com/ingredie.html"&gt;www.vaccination.inoz.com/ingredie.html&lt;/a&gt;. For those who say there children was not vaccinated, most dont realize that the hospitals give the B &amp;amp; K vac when they are born and most parents dont realize it. Also I believe spectrum issues are virally passed to others around them. Most with spectrum child end up with medical issues also, just dont see the connection!Also consider pestisides, food additives, etc. &amp;nbsp;As far as the cell phone, &amp;nbsp; this is salt on the wound issue. My husband works with EMW(electrico magnetic waves) in mass amounts!! He said that the the waves kill living cells if in direct path(EMW's shoot in a beem form). This also come not only from cell phones, but microwaves(this is why food is no good after heating, most cells(nutrients) are destroyed, even water minerals), exray machines and our computers, &amp;nbsp;etc. That is why when someone is in an exray room with someone else being exrayed, we have to wear a lead cover, this bounces off the waves from the one wearing. We dont have this gaurd with our cells, microwave, computers, etc and that poor guy being exrayed!!. Im sorry, but to the earlier poster, I dont feel this is a ploy from politics, I feel this goes way deeper than that!! Kind of a nerving thought!! Anyways, the cell phones do cause harm! So do vac's, so does our food, water, etc. etc. The amish have it the best:) Also they have no spectrum issues(no vacs, no cells, organic food, etc. etc)! But they are being worked on also I believe!! What to do.. I guess the best we can!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dr Susan Hardwick made the observation that &amp;quot;It's not immediately apparent how cell phone radiation traps heavy metals in a biological (nerve) cell.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;She wasn't saying that it wasn't true. &amp;nbsp;I suspect that she was simply pointing out that the scientific proof and process that causes this hasn't been clearly demonstrated anywhere in this article. &amp;nbsp;My gut feeling is that we don't really know what all this radiation will do to us -not in the short term or in the longer term.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is my belief/gut feeling/assertion that Dr Mercola acts with very good intentions, but he is also not immune from the above.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If we are to be believed, we should also be prepared to state clearly if we have a personal financial or vested interest in that which we are supporting or promoting -the financial interest doesn't invalidate the advice or theory, it makes it clear where you are coming from -and perhaps more believable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the issue of being believable, keeping politics to a political websites and spirituality to spiritual websites is a great idea. I have my own spirituality and belief system -not going to tell you about it here. &amp;nbsp;Sure, tell me about the scientifically proven benefits of anything including meditation -I'll run with that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Finally, becoming dogmatic, unreasonable or promoting something as proof; only because it was your experience -reduces your chance of being believed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In logic and tolerance I trust.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My aunt gave me one of these for my phone at a cost of $60. After reading the review I think they are a scam. The worst part is that using one of these can make one feel safe and so lead to more cell phone use.&lt;/p&gt;

Although there is no research to support it, I contend that ultrasound is a major factor in autism. Back in the 1950's the casual use of x-ray seriously affected many people before the deleterious effects of radiation &amp;nbsp;became evident. The impact of the casual use of ultrasound on a developing fetus will prove to have damaging effects, I believe. Do you know of any studies linking ultrasound with autism?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Homeopathy is showing some promise in the cure of autism. Amy Lansky's book, &amp;quot;The Impossible Cure&amp;quot; is required reading for anyone involved in treating this complex condition, and can provide hope and direction for families of these kids. I certainly agree that cell phone radiation and vaccine damage are contributing factors, but I don't believe they're the only ones.&lt;/p&gt;

You must be to be able to look around you and not see the children losing their already acquired speech and social skills. As a mother of an autistic child I am disgusted that there are people who are still turning their noses up at the proof of autism increasing yearly! It probably won't be until your children or your children's, children are suffering from this disorder before you want to acknowledge the facts. In the 1970's most people did not know probably even one person with autism. Not to mention their being one child in almost every family suffering from this now. My heart breaks to know the struggles that my child will face and the discrimination from idiots who cannot seem to even try to communicate with autistic people as another human being. My child is just like you only because of vaccinations and other environmental causes he can no longer hold a conversation or share his knowledge with others. I am disgusted, horrified and &amp;nbsp;flabbergasted that people are so ignorant and close minded to the facts. Our own government whom has at the very least contributed to these children's disorder by not taking the vaccination argument more serious. In my opinion the vaccinations ARE WHAT PUSHED MY CHILD OVER THE EDGE and caused his autism. Time will tell if the parents of these children are right..... I think that this cell phone theory could absolutely have validity. I for one would get rid of a cell phone for the health of my little boy I wouldn't take any chances so bye bye nextel!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=22543" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: How Cell Phones May Cause Autism</title><link>http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/11/27/how-cell-phones-may-cause-autism.aspx#22542</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Nov 2007 21:59:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:22542</guid><dc:creator>see www.drcarley</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;2nd part to comment above:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was very little cancer in the 1800s. &amp;nbsp;In the early 1900s, Big Pharma/AMA got rid of the 11 homeopathic schools that existed in the United States, because homeopathy WORKS! &amp;nbsp;There were studies done that showed that homeopathy worked better on many diseases than pharmaceutical drugs. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Their conniving and planning to make people sick, while pretending to make them well, started way back then, right from the start. &amp;nbsp;I am not saying that modern medicine has not produced miracles, however, and that there is no use for it. &amp;nbsp;My own father would not be alive today without advances in medicine. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, vaccinations is a bogus pseudo-science; &amp;nbsp;a way to make us all sick without any of us being able to pinpoint the real source. &amp;nbsp;Vaccinations is a perfect way for the depopulation agenda to be carried forward - it will seem like they are trying to save our lives, when in reality the vaccines sicken us or even kill us. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There never was thimerosal in the MMR vaccine, and the proof is right from the FDA and CDC sites:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.fda.gov/cber/vaccine/thimerosal.htm"&gt;www.fda.gov/.../thimerosal.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-1.pdf"&gt;www.cdc.gov/.../excipient-table-1.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Download these documents and read the junk that is put into vaccines, including MSG!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They also plan to put aspertame (NutraSweet) in vaccines! &amp;nbsp;Why??? &amp;nbsp;Because they know that aspertame is a substance that causes many physical problems, and can even kill people. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The article on Dr. Carley's site (&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.drcarley.com"&gt;http://www.drcarley.com&lt;/a&gt;) called &amp;quot;Inoculations: the True Weapons of Mass Destruction&amp;quot; is eye-opening, and understandable to lay people. &amp;nbsp;It is a brilliant article. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By the way, I am NOT Dr. Carley, just someone who has read her website and listens to her radio show.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She has reversed autism within months with her homeopathic protocol, and has audio testimonials on her site. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

This just names a few of the things. &amp;nbsp;So it does make some sense if cell phone use traps in all these toxins, how it can contribute to autism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lack of real vitamins and nutrients can't help either. &amp;nbsp;Probably many children have vitamin A deficiency. &amp;nbsp;I don't personally know anyone besides myself that gives their baby daily cod liver oil and egg yolk. &amp;nbsp;Now that my son is 7 months, I will give him chicken livers once or twice a week too...and he loves them. &amp;nbsp;Also, as long as I can obtain it, he will always drink raw milk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He received no vaccines at birth, only 4 at 2 months (not really my choice, lots of pressuring from doctor,) no vaccines at 4 months or 6 months, and never any again. &amp;nbsp;He was partially breastfed for 3 months (as long as I could..unfortunately was not successful in this,) and has since been on a raw milk formula. &amp;nbsp;All the household products I use for him and his soap and shampoo are organic and natural, and his mattress is properly wrapped with the plastic cover. &amp;nbsp;I feel like I am taking many precautions to prevent autism, but of course it still scares me very much, for how can I take every precaution if I don't know what they all are.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I became aware of these issues years ago and didn't find a solution that worked for me until very recently. &amp;nbsp;We cell phone users have all experienced hot ears when on these devices for extended periods of time. &amp;nbsp;Thermal imaging shows the heat effect and the statistics regarding cell phones and brain cancer are very compelling. &amp;nbsp;The patented MRET and ERT technologies that BioPro offers effectively change this. &amp;nbsp;You can learn how at the Biopro website where there is over 800 pages of scientific research and information. &amp;nbsp;Here's the link:&lt;/p&gt;

The potential for a cell phone transmission to cause molecular resonance in our bodies is enormous and highly probable. this is the same &amp;nbsp;phenomenon that cooks food in a microwave. AS many readers pointed out cell phone energy decays as a cube function in space ( or to the third power as linear distance changes). So using cell phones with a headset at a distance is the most practical option for us who will continue using them, hopwever i agree with keeping children away as far and long as possible. The industry will use the FEAR factor to promote cell phone use in children, which most faith led folks can ignore easily. &amp;nbsp;The Russian far-field results are indeed interesting and align well with bio-energetic theories. &amp;nbsp; In the end, this forum and Dr. Mercola are some of the most excellent resources to become educated in such issues, so as to make the best cost /benefit &amp;nbsp;assessment FOR YOURSELF and your family, and share data and opinions for the benefit of others' education.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;fixes to stop the onslaught of EVIL electromagnetic radiation. &amp;nbsp;First of all, stop using the word radiation as a scare&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;tactic, trying to place fear in people that radio waves are akin to nuclear radiation. &amp;nbsp;Why aren't you also screaming&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;about the huge amount of X-ray and Gamma radiation that convention Cathode Ray Tubes (picture tube) used until recently in all computer and TV sets? &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don't see any articles here explaining how radio frequencies work, how the signals are transmitted, conducted, and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the levels that are used. &amp;nbsp; The broadband CDMA technology used in most North American cell phones uses spread spectrum technology to minimize the energy at any one wavelength to nano-volt levels so extremely small they are all but non-existent. &amp;nbsp;Radio waves travel along the surface of any conductor, be it copper wire, steel, or human skin, look up SKIN EFFECT online. &amp;nbsp;At cell phone/WiFi frequency bands of 800,1900, &amp;amp;2400 MHz, radio waves only penetrate far less than a millimeter of depth, far too shallow to have any signal reach deep into the nuero-muscular tissues that would be necessary to make such a conjecture. &amp;nbsp;A where is your data showing comparisons of rural versus urban children, whose RF environment is minuscule compared to those in the city? &amp;nbsp;The RF level in urban/suburban areas is a hundred fold greater than those living on a farm, so the rate of autism should be comparable, right? &amp;nbsp;Autism is big business, and being pushed by the drug companies to sell product. &amp;nbsp;Autism is also being misdiagnosed, and is a cover for other mental health disorders. &amp;nbsp;With the huge shift in the last few generations toward being very self-centered, narcissistic and self-absorbed, why aren't you as alarmist about the parent's personalities???? &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Show me a study that technicians that work near high powered broadcast transmitters, transmitting antennas radiating millions of Watts have more health issues. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As of yet, it's all anecdotal and NOT definitive. Notice that all the claims state that EMF &amp;quot;MAY&amp;quot; cause this or that and yet the claims avoid stating that it DOES in fact! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Until it is DEFINITIVE, I encourage everyone to use cellular phones and all electronic devices if you can afford it, if it improves your life goals and is useful. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have since conception all been exposed to extremely high levels of EMF across the entire electromagnetic spectrum from ELF to superhigh energy cosmic rays throughout our lives. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everyone else on planet earth has also not only in the present but in the past. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If indeed there is any dangerous EMF, it is only where a emission is of sufficient power level and frequency to resonate water molecules to above ambient temperature such as in a microwave oven. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Others may be the various radio diathermy devices used by quack medics in the past.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Indeed, there is merit in Dr. Mercola's recommendations about not cooking with a microwave oven due to secondary effects of altering the molecular structure of foods unsafely. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, to make a claim or recommendations based on anecotal or or non-definitive studies is akin &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to the nonsense of the Government's recommended food triangle or to the bogus anti or low cholesterol frenzy &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I, for one will continue vigorously use my high powered HAM radio transmitters, CB, Walkie-Talkies, HIFI, Plasma TV, CRT Monitors, Vacuum cleaners, Elevators, Flourescent lights. air conditioners, automobiles with high energy ignition systems, radios, and all modern electric and electronic devices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cellular phones, and other electronic and electrical devices without reservation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have been reading about PCA-Rx and AF-x, which are two relatively new formulations by Maxam Labs. The PCA-Rx is a comprehensive detoxifier to rid the body of many different toxins, including heavy metals through a process that is supposed to be better than chelation. The AF-x is their Autism Factor for treating Autism. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have been reading many comments and testimonials about substantial success with this in the treatment of autism by parents of children who suffer with this illness. I have been using the PCA-Rx for detoxification purposes myself and I believe it has helped my fibromyalgia. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If anyone on this website has any experience with these formulations, I would appreciate hearing about this as I am in the process of encouraging a friend of mine to use them for her autistic child.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have a Blessed Day, In Christ, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eddie&lt;/p&gt;
