My son suffers from this and Tourette's syndrome and although he was a little more active as a baby than other children, it wasn't until his triple vaccination aged 15 months that our problems really began. The same evening that he received the vaccine he became like an animal. He was throwing himself around the kitchen and hitting me as hard as he could, completely out of control. He was later expelled from school, for his impulsive and uncontrollable behaviour. At the time I assumed it was a sugar rush caused by the polio vaccine, which was given on a sugar cube, but his out of control behaviour continued for many years, until we finally resolved the worst of it using various therapies, diet etc. I am pleased to report that (no thanks to the medical profession) he is now a happy and well-adjusted young man who attends university. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know of other children with ADHD &amp;nbsp;who also got far worse after receiving vaccinations. In one case, there is written evidence by a health visitor who reported the baby as well and developing normally the week before his vaccination. The following week, her report stated that &amp;quot;this child can only be described as an animal.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

Did the parents not make the final decision to vaccinate their children? If the government is going to be held financially responsible for putting their stamp on things that are really unsafe then we are all in danger and have the right to money. &lt;/p&gt;

I work in a maternity ward and know for a fact that mercury is still in the vaccines they give the newborns. All parents have to do is ask for the insert about the vaccine and it tells you the ingredients. One doctor got angry when the nurses were not giving the vaccine within 12 hrs of birth. So he make &amp;nbsp;standing orders to &amp;nbsp;give the vaccine as early as possible stating that the CDC required it early. When parents question the Doctor about the mercury in the vaccines,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;they tell them that's its been removed when it hasn't. &amp;nbsp;They even have the nurses pass out handouts with false information about the vaccines making them sound safe and stating if they don't receive the vaccine that their infant could die. Parents have the right to informed consent, but when it comes to vaccines, its only one sided. &lt;/p&gt;

Yes I believe vaccinations are wrong and damaging but I also want families with autistic children to get Dr. Natasha's book as soon as possible in order to help themselves. If the program is started on before or around 3 years of age the child can be completely recovered in most cases. Even other older cases can be helped. &amp;quot;Gut and Psychology Syndrome&amp;quot; is the title of Dr. Natasha's book where she explains how the vaccinations contribute to the condition. This is cutting edge science by a doctor who has thousands of autistic patients both in Great Britain and the U.S.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The government, drug companies and the medical profession are evil whereas your favorite chiropractor can cure all. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm skeptical of all, not just medical and not just alternative medicine. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The CDC and the Pharmaceutical companies have been increasing their bank accounts using our children as &amp;nbsp;bait, and the shame of it all, is that they have known since the early 1920's about the dangers of this mercury based preservative, &amp;quot;Thimerasol&amp;quot;, but still insist on utilizing it in order to reduce costs and maximize profits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The biggest scam in History is the &amp;quot;Flu&amp;quot; Vaccine - Not only are you receiving a major dose of Mercury, but you are also receiving last Season's Flu strain. &amp;nbsp;There is no Flu epidemic, but there is an epidemic of Autism, ADD, Asperger's among other neurological ailments. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The time has come for everyone to become aware of what has been going on, thus to prevent other families in becoming part of the statistics. &amp;nbsp;Don't let the pharmaceutical companies bully you into poisoning your children.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is no need for our children to receive 36 vaccines, especially multiple dose vials in one visit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I beg you all to stop this epidemic by becoming more involved and aware of what is really going into your child's veins.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you, Dr. Mercola for providing and educating us with unbiased informations regarding vaccines as well as all of the drugs that are FDA Approved, but are also highly lethal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stop the Madness, Hear the Silence [Autism Speaks]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note: &amp;nbsp;Since we stopped my son's vaccines at an early age, he has progressed to the point where he speaks, plays, communicates and is in a normal classroom setting with some assistance and we are very optimistic that he will lead a normal life full of love, happiness and health.&lt;/p&gt;

They apparently contain a small amount of mercury, which the government states is not unsafe, but they also say that they should be disposed of in zip lock bags. How many zip lock bags remain intact in a landfill? What will the effects of the combined amount of mercury (which, if I'm not mistaken, has an incredibly long half-life) have on our grandchildren? Simply to be a little more &amp;quot;green&amp;quot; in the short term?? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I couldn't get this page right away, so I googled autism and mercury-- found a neat paper, dated April 2000, which identified Thimerosal as a definite culprit in autism ( &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.autism.com/ari/mercurylong.html"&gt;www.autism.com/.../mercurylong.html&lt;/a&gt; ). &amp;nbsp;WHY DID IT TAKE 8 Years for the FEDS TO ADMIT TO THIS? &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, I learned that combining certain antibiotics with vaccines that contain Thimerosal dramatically amplifies the toxicity of the mercury &lt;/p&gt;

I am currently in medical school and recently had a professor completely mock the supposed vaccine - autism link and recommended that we as the &amp;quot;educated professionals&amp;quot; who know better, would do best to avoid being involved in the discussion, as real research has shown only one thing, that the rates of autism are highest up and down both the east and west coast of the United States independent of vaccines rate. I haven't heard or found this research as of yet and was wondering if anyone here could respond to this or direct me in a knowledgeable direction. thank you in advance&lt;/p&gt;
