I Have A New Question Re: Mmr

I was wondering whether anyone could link me to some of the information that 'proves' that the MMR vaccine does NOT cause autism. I'm not talking about a court ruling, I'm talking about ACTUAL EVIDENCE that there could not possibly be a link between MMR and autism. I'm willing to be openminded about this idea, and I have not seen anyone link any real info, I've only seen people reference a court verdict made by a lawyer(judge), not a medical professional. So it would really be great if anyone had any idea where to find the info that shows the MMR CANNOT cause autism. I'm not trying to ressurect the argument, I just haven't been able to find this info on my own. I can find plenty about the court case, but not the evidence. Maybe I'm not typing the right things.

I'm also hoping someone has some insight into research being done into other possible causes of autism. What DO they think is causing it? Who's doing this research? I know the 'better diagnosis rate' theory is out the window, or else they'd be diagnosing adults at the same rates. Do they think it's environmental toxins?

I did read all of the links you posted. Most simply said, "studies show no link" and have no links to the studies. And I tried to find them. This is the most clear-cut study result article I could find:

Open Original Shared Link[author]%20AND%20No%20evidence%20for%20a%20new%20variant%20

of%20measles-mumps-rubella-induced%20autism.

Having waded through it, I can't really say I understand how this is conclusive. Basically they're saying there's no different, special difference in the autism 'type' between vaccinated and non-vaccinated kids. Therefore, MMR does not cause autism. There are different physical disease manifestations of autism? And how did they pick these kids?

Here's a chart of studies from the CDC.

Again, no numbers, no specifics. Just 'No link found.' Most of it is someone saying they read some else's study. And good luck finding the study.

I'm also curious exactly what autism is. They still don't know which parts of the brain are affected by autism disorder, they don't know any particular gene that predisposes. It kind of seems like they're trying to prove a negative. They don't know what DOES cause autism, but are willing to say what DOESN'T. I think what I mean is, if you take 100 children who have not had any vaccines who have autism, and 100 who've had them all with thimerosal and everything and have autism, how do you know whether the kids with the vaccines would have gotten autism anyway? Is there any way to prove that?

I'm so confoozed.............. :ph34r:

You can show that something is not causative without knowing what *is* causative. Not saying whether or not that's the case here, just saying it's possible.

You might find something if you google these:

autism cover up

subacute sclerosing panencephalitis and autism

autism not caused by vaccines

autism and aluminum

Who knows what you will find, interesting reading though ;)

Never thought about it before until reading above info. Trying to be open minded like you.

What if the mother passes something onto the baby which triggers autism when they get vaccinated. Like if her body is full of aluminum or mercury already. Or of course if the baby is lacking something to begin with. The immune system of mother/baby has to be a factor. Many other factors like the nursing mom consuming dairy. Genes a factor too...

Like a trigger that sets off Celiac. Only some get it. This would be why the baby develops autism right after their shots, a trigger with all those shots. Of course mercury and aluminum are not safe for anyone.

Too much to think about makes your mind confoozled. :blink:

Thats true, this may be the most toxic generation to give birth, and new generations are even more toxic and so the cycle continues. Who knows where the combustion point might be?

I don't think you'll find conclusive answers from either side. That's the problem.

The "vaccines cause no problems" camp says that autism rates don't increase with vaccine rates. And that children that are going to develop autism develop it during the same time frame as they are receiving vaccinations, so it may look as if the vaccine has caused the problem, when it fact they just happen at the same time.

There are no animal models for autism, and no way to know if a vaccine led to autism in any one individual. All either side can quote are event rates, and both sides dispute each others claims.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
