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.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
