Overview

Autism Breakthrough!
Recently the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (Spring, 2006) reported a sudden drop in the number of Autistic children that corresponds with the reduced Thimerosal content in vaccines! This study again established a link between Autism and mercury toxicity(3). It can also explain why the removal of mercury from the body can have the potential to turn around Autism (see the Protocol and the Testimonies).

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are complex and often difficult to understand for families and professionals alike. There are numerous theories on the cause of autism including genetics, environmental exposures, and vaccines that contain the mercury-based preservative thimerosal.

• Maruice Hilleman, M.D., was one of the leaders of Merck's vaccination program. In a 1991 memo he warned company executives that when the standard schedule of vaccines was given to a 6-month-old child, mercury exposure would be more than 85 times the safety standards set by the government. He suggested that thimerosal use be stopped. His suggestion was disregarded. Government officials later added seven more vaccines containing thimerosal to the vaccine schedule.
• In June 2000, a secret meeting to evaluate thimerosal research was organized by the CDC and included representatives from the FDA and several drug companies. At that meeting, Bill Weil, M.D., described the results of the studies as "statistically significant."
• One of the participants of that meeting, Richard Johnston, M.D., said that he didn't want his newborn grandson to receive vaccines with thimerosal "until we know better what is going on."
• Jill James, M.D. is an FDA scientist who recently conducted a study that found many autistic children lack the ability to produce glutathione, an antioxidant that helps the body remove mercury.
  
  

Mandatory vaccine programs.
According to the GAO (1999) in the 1990’s an estimated 12 million vaccinations were given each year and more than 40 million children were vaccinated. Since the 1930” the mercury-based Thimerosal has been added to vaccines as a preservative, allowing vaccines to be manufactured in bulk instead of individual doses. In 1980’s FDA bans thimerosal in OTC products (Merthiolate) and in 1991 considered banning in vaccines but didn’t.

CDC then increases the number of vaccines to children and no one took the time to calculate the cumulative mercury dose in these children through the 1990’s. In fact, it was 187 times the EPA’s limit for daily exposure to mercury and the rate of Autism explodes. Iowa had an increase of 700% in autistics throughout the 1990’s and in 2004 became the first state to ban mercury in vaccines followed California.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the autism rate among U.S. children in 1995 was 1 in 2,500. Ten years later the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) puts the rate at 1 in 166. In the early '90s public health officials significantly increased the number of vaccines containing thimerosal.

Autism increased and recently decreased

From the Department of Education annual reports to the US Congress - (Children with a diagnosis of autism aged 6-21] served by IDEA - (Individuals With Disabilities Education Act)

(Source: US Individuals With Disabilities Education Act data: http://www.IDEAdata.org/tables/ar_aa2.htm )

In round terms, for every two children registered through IDEA with autism in 1992-93, there were almost eleven by 1999-2000.

There are similarly unexplained large increases in the last 15 years in a number of other childhood disorders involving immune system dysfunction such as ADHD, asthma allergies, and juvenile diabetes.  These, like autism, have increased dramatically since the 1980s while the number of vaccine doses given before age two has increased from 8 to 22.

In recent years the thimerosal content of children's vaccines has been reduced, but the preservative is still used in flu vaccines, tetanus boosters and some over-the-counter drugs.     
      

On July 7, 1999, a joint recommendation was made by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) to remove thimerosal from vaccines. A two-phase study was undertaken to evaluate trends in diagnosis of new Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDs) entered into the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and the California Department of Developmental Services (CDDS) databases on a reporting quarter basis, from 1994 through 2005.

Significant increasing trends in newly diagnosed NDs were observed in both databases 1994 through mid-2002. Significant decreasing trends in newly diagnosed NDs were observed in both databases from mid-2002 through 2005. The results indicate that the trends in newly diagnosed NDs correspond directly to the expansion and subsequent contraction of the cumulative mercury dose to which children were exposed from TCVs through the U.S. immunization schedule.
