I think I'm trying to keep up with too many people at the same time... pacing, pacing, ah, there, that's better!<BR/>Anyways, I like your thoughts having just freaked myself out over this last week.<BR/>I think what I finally came down to was for the most part the diseases are worse than the potential side affects of said immunizations. We forget how horrible some of these things truly are because they are just not common place anymore thanks to the vaccines. But, that doesn't mean I have to use every single immunization possible when my child is still developing. For him personally, who is not in day care or exposed to a lot of other kids the chicken pox/hep B and other things like that aren't nearly as important as polio.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and happy birthday!!!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04030109870736499425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3774913912472019870.post-45351861786312505042007-09-25T21:32:00.000-05:002007-09-25T21:32:00.000-05:00How can a parent NOT wonder?

It seems that if there is some predisposition to ASD that immunization prey on that it would be fair for it to be researched.dawn224https://www.blogger.com/profile/12261307900362127378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3774913912472019870.post-8499925710556314152007-09-25T14:01:00.000-05:002007-09-25T14:01:00.000-05:00I believe that the Mercury was not in the older sh...I believe that the Mercury was not in the older shots. It was added as a preservative sometime in the late 80's maybe? I am fairly sure that is the reason they give for us older generation not having the mercury related problems, anyway.<BR/><BR/>I think Autism, and all the other similar syndromes have something to do with the shots, but also many other factors. Like You said, some people ARE more sensitive to the mercury, and develop autism (or similar) at an early age. But there are most usually several other factors as well. (Like your little boy's health problems at the beginning of his life)<BR/><BR/>I do think that some children are misdiagnosed with ADHD or even Aspbergers, though, who are really not, and their parents just need a scapegoat. I think that is happening more and more. And I think it is sad.<BR/><BR/>A change of diet and exercise would do a lot of kid a lot of good.<BR/><BR/>Interesting topic. :)Lawandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989205730267907323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3774913912472019870.post-84042553187337873742007-09-25T13:39:00.000-05:002007-09-25T13:39:00.000-05:00Yes, I think it definitely needs to be looked into...Yes, I think it definitely needs to be looked into. My son had problems breathing when he was born, and could have died...that is why I feel he has autism. He is smart, but has to learn things in a different way.kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987700142247888708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3774913912472019870.post-41336028888706639032007-09-25T13:20:00.000-05:002007-09-25T13:20:00.000-05:00My opinion is that tv causes Autism.
