Autism Day: Jenny McCarthy’s fight to raise awareness about Autism and vaccinations.

Yesterday, April 2nd was Autism Day. I did a blog about the suspected link between the barrage of early childhood vaccinations and Autism. Then I saw Jenny McCarthy speak on CNN’s Larry King Live about her son Evan’s Autism diagnosis

After being given a round of too many immunizations shortly before turning 2, Evan developed a fever and then stopped talking and began developing the “stims” or repetitive, self-stimulating behaviors that are referred to in the CNN article as Autism traits. The timing of his decline was too close to not have had involvement from the vaccinations he’d received.

Byron shed light on the vaccine preservative Thimersol being linked to a girl’s Autism development in this article and has talked at length about the importance of immune protective nutrition choices in early childhood development. An article in Discover Magazine titled Autism: It’s not just in the head, in May, 2007 touched on the systemic involvement of the GI tract as well as the vaccination connection to Autism.

McCarthy and her boyfriend Jim Carrey have becoming strident advocates for early intervention when Autism symptoms present as well as blowing the lid off of the Vaccine/Autism connection. She has called for the review of the individual infants personalized immunization schedules. She opposes (and we agree) the 36 “required” vaccinations given very early in life at one time, or very close together. This schedule is far too toxic, especially for children with suppressed immune systems. The damage from these vaccinations is oftentimes irreversible and life long. Byron has helped many children with this type of injury, to improve and get normalcy back into their lives.

The government and big pharmaceutical companies are either too sluggish or too greedy or both to admit any possible link between the blind adherence to vaccination requirements and Autism. It will take a grass-roots effort and lots of noise from angry parents, citizens and health professionals who can see the errors in judgment and the harm they’re doing to deal with this increasingly urgent issue.

McCarthy and Carrey are leading a march June 4th in Washington DC to raise awareness and have their voices heard. Visit the site for more information www.generationrescue.org.

Check with you state to find out if they allow (most do) a personal conscientious objection to giving your child all 36 vaccinations. I did this with my children to avoid the terrible list and toxic effects of too many vaccinations too soon. Here is a link to a site that gives links for each state’s immunization waiver form or more information about each state’s laws.

Take action and be informed about what’s going into your child’s body. There may be life-long developmental effects at stake!




Comments:

My youngest son is now 20 months old.  The only vaccine that I have allowed him to receive so far is the DTaP on a delayed schedule.  The pediatrician has begun reacting to my decision with hostility.  I do not claim to know the right answers about vaccines, but I still have to make decisions for my child to the best of my ability.  After I decided to delay and avoid some vaccines, I found out that my son has a milk and egg allergy.  This seems like a warning sign to me that his system is more reactive.

I would love to know what vaccines you chose to give your children, how you scheduled them, and why.  It is very difficult to make these decisions.

Thanks

Melissa
