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.

Open Original Shared Link

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.

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
