Washington Post just put out an article that High Fructose Corn Syrup has Mercury in it. HFCS is is almost everything. See my ideas for HFCS free, gluten free and casein free diet to recover Autism lunches for school on my page.

[DrDrack]

I think MMR is the key one, and it's not as if either of those three diseases are likely to cause serious problems if treated properly. I'd rather take a 1 in 100 chance of getting one of those three diseases over a 1 in 10000 chance of it (somehow) causing autism.

[Southsider75]

I did look at that web site recovery stories that she brought up. Those kids definately had issues beforehand, but they did not seem autistic. They had some traits that are seen in autistic kids, but they did not look like they had autism.

[wonadewona]

mothers and children are evidence...its staring people in the face..whether its mmr or something else,something is causing this.

[wonadewona]

you people who dismiss a mothers word make me sick..my son was perfectly healthy and i have videos to prove the before and after(the mmr) too many people are making the link for it to be nothing....i know my son was harmed..and i just wish you dismissive people would try and imagine it happening this way to you and your family ,then you would be singing from a different song sheet ,without a doubt...!

[ezelite]

Last time i felt ill i went to the doctor, and last time i needed insurance ui called the bank.....should i have just asked a mother???

[wonadewona]

who gives a toss...! dont bother to reply to my txt..im not interested .

[ezelite]

Free Speech FTW!

[aspie101]

Claims and accusations are meaningless without strong physical evidence. That is why so many lawsuits fail; they're unsupported.

[dwcriswell]

These people are nuts, originally they were opposed to thimerosol, they have backed off of that and I really can't understand their objection to vaccinations. Unfortunately even the so called medical experts are joining in saying more research needs to be done, they need to call these people nuts. There are legitimate medical questions about unnecessary vaccinations, but no evidence there is a link to autism.

[pankirulz]

Come to my house and I will show you a link between vaccines and autism! Until you've walked in our shoes and witnessed it for yourself, how about zippin the lips! My daughter was fine until my pediatrician played "catchup"! You are in denial and don't have a dog in the fight. I've been through hell for the past year and I don't want to hear more ignorant commentary like your 2 cents. People like you make me sick. WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!

[ezelite]

I feel sorry for you, in many ways. Just because your child has autism is not evidence of what you are claiming. Faith and Love cannot cure anything except low self esteem maybe.

[aspie101]

How about you grow up and deal with criticism. An autistic child is simply a different child than a "normal" child. Parenting in general is hard not matter what your child is.

[roulomyster]

I wish people who don't know anything about autism would shut the hell up! Get educated and find out the facts about autism! Jenny McCarthy did her job and is very well educated about it. My son was diagnosed within a week and it's very hard to deal with. People don't know what we go through and they think they can give their opinions like it's nothing! Shut the hell up and educate yourself before giving an opinion!

[GuitarManARS]

Having a child diagnosed with a disease is a terrible thing, but it doesn't make you an expert on that disease. Jenny McCarthy claims vaccines cause autism. Dozens of scientific studies are done, all of them fail to find a significant link between the two. When it comes to medication, who are you going to trust, people who know what they're talking about, or some celebrity? It's a very scary comment on American society that so many people choose the latter.

[Mageekhands]

illiterate and ridiculous

[Utoobeuser]

I really don't think that her son ever had autism to begin with. I beleive that her son was misdiagnosed. Also, where is this miracle child? Notice how you never see him (other than in brief clips and photos). It seems to me that if he was cured, and just like any other child, there would be before and after video clips to show the medical community to back up her claims. Somthing is not right. But hey, she gave a lot of people hope and fattened her wallet in the process!!

[aspie101]

Keep in mind that autism changes as time progresses. Lack of eye contact is generally common in infants. As autistics mature, the symptoms usually get less severe. I cannot explain how much I hate Jenny McCarthy.

[aspie101]

She said that her son was diagnosed within 5 minutes. With all the screenings and testings involved, it takes weeks or even months to officially diagnose.

[cadencesdragon2009]

My son had three different tests done and was then diagnosed, also I know I have Asperger. I learned how to act over the years, I'm not cured nor do I believe my son can be cured.

[o0Enna0o]

Im a mother of a child with autism. he was a babbling normal toddler who loved on you and played all the time with everyone. he was able to say momma and dadda and apple,out,go,hi, seeya.... after a set of vaccinations were givin to him he ran a high fever and was sick for about 3 days. within the next few months i noticed that he hardley would say a word and he wouldnt play with any other kids.i thought it might just be a stage children go through so i said nothing about it.

[o0Enna0o]

i took him to the ped. to maybe find out why he wasnt talking thats when he reffered me to kluge center for autistic and disabled children and adults.

[o0Enna0o]

there we spent 2 days getting every test to find the cause. he was finally given the diagnoses. he was autistic. the doctor explained to me how he and several othe autism speacilists have seen a rise of young children comming in to be evaluated after they had certain vaccinations. he gave me folder upon folder of info about autism and how to help your family cope.

[o0Enna0o]

my son is now alil over 3. he only says 1 word and still plays by himself. i recently got him in a program at a local school for himto be with other kids and teachers who help children with autism learn to communicate. hes doing alil better. its still a struggle everyday to try to get his attention long enough to tell him you love him or to ask if hes hungry . ive been so upset that i dont know if he'll ever be in the "norm". i want him to be able to have a good job and a family of his own.

[o0Enna0o]

i can only give him lotts of love attention and time. its been really hard to deal with this. and id hope that whoever reads this even if you dont agree with what jenny has to say please be thoughtful of the families who ARE going through this. noone knows why this is happening but we would like answers. im a single mother trying to cope with such a hardship for the one lil guy id do anything for. i know there isnt a cure but children Do RECOVER.

[o0Enna0o]

with supportive familys and professionals who are willing too take a long time to get the children to where they need to be to function. To everyone who has an austistic family memeber there is an answer out there and wether we find it today,tomorrow or 10 years from now just keep surviving. keep doing what your doing to help the one(s) you love.

[aspie101]

The reason why children "recover" is because autism is a condition that changes as time progresses. No diet will help children communicate or speak and it is not due to heavy metals in the body, it is the way that the brain is wired. Some people see autism as a major profit so they tell the parents that their rediculous "alternative" are going to cure autism, they hardly ever work.

[aspie101]

She obviously believes that she is a doctor. In regards to Jett Trevolta's death she remarked

"I have no idea if Jett had autism, didn't see, you know, enough footage, or ever meet Jett to give a diagnosis of my own."

I would not be surprised if she diagnosed Evan herself.

[Utoobeuser]

It's so funny how she want's to give her "professional" opinion.

I'm sure her supporters would like to see, you know, some footage, of Evan to get an idea if he has ,or ever had, autism.

[aspie101]

I can't believe that people actually believe her. Then again, a large number of people believe that JFK was killed by LBJ and other debunked crap.

[DavidSaddler1231]

The controversy of whether vaccines cause autism has been around for a very long time. It is a failure of the medical establishment, the CDC and the pharmaceutical companies to clearly and convincingly describe to the public exactly how vaccines do not cause autism. The inability, or reluctance, to educate the patient, in this case, the parents, as to precisely how they have nothing to fear with vaccination, is probably the heart of this controversy.

[DavidSaddler1231]

There are a lot of families that have evidence that there children became autistic immediately after vaccination. The Poling family settled a case out of court that clearly indicated that vaccines have caused autism. But the judge was very careful in explaining that it was only responsible in this particular case. And this is also a clear indication of all of the fears regarding liability in this case. While it may be true that childhood vaccination may save lives, it comes at a cost.

[DavidSaddler1231]

In their purely scientific reasoning, it would be better to ignore the relationship between vaccinations and autism, than to frighten all the parents in the country who might then not get their children vaccinated. These same experts believe that it is far less worse for the population to suffer a few autistic children than to risk an outbreak of epidemics that they say would cause a huge number of deaths.

[DavidSaddler1231]

But when you are the parent of an autistic child, when you are the one parent in one hundred and fifty that has to raise an autistic child, the collateral damage theory is tough to accept. And there is very little money available for the families of autistic children. Most parents whose children are diagnosed with autism, usually divorce.

[DavidSaddler1231]

So before you think all of this talk about the relationship between autism and vaccinations is being fabricated so the parents of autistic children have someone to blame, or they are looking for easy money, check out the Poling family. And ask yourself a some questions. Such as: Do doctors always tell the truth? And is there such a thing as a medication that doesn't have a side effect? And what is the one thing that all autistic children have in common around the world: vaccinations?

[DavidSaddler1231]

And one more point to be make is this: what is the most obvious common denominator all autistic children have? All autistic children have been vaccinated. There is no way that the increase in autism in children is simply a genetic problem. The only explanation for the dramatic increase in autism would have to be an external factor. It's not the Pampers or other diapers they wear. And it's not the baby food. Vaccines are very powerful drugs that must be used carefully.

[DavidSaddler1231]

aspie101 could you tell me where you got your info about Jenny McCarthys son being misdiagnosed with autism?

[aspie101]

Can you give me the source that says that he is completly cured?

Besides, look coelic disease. She said there were problems in his intestines. That might be why the gluten-free diet worked on Evan. But even if he was/is autistic, many autistics say their first words at around the same age as he said his.

[cadencesdragon2009]

My son has a wheat allergy and a simple blood test may explain why your autistic child has problems with intestines

[aspie101]

Her son was misdiagnosed, her pediatricians admitted it but it did not get into the media because she wants publicity and money.

[Xprettyangelx45]

Hi! my son has autism so he autistic for many year my son pediatrician had misdiagnoise him said he had mental retartdation just cause delay walking & talking & then delay learning in school.his pediatrician doctor wasn't concern he wasn't talking.When my son was 10 yr old we move to La A psychiatry saw him and said I think you son has autism. Oh wow so pediatrician doctor misdiagnoise him. My son been in wrong school placement for 6 yrs.I have doing research on autism. so It genetic

[foreverfamily09]

the body can have a bad reaction to anything, & yes these reactions can mimic autism! but it's NOT true autism! there is NO cure for real autism! jenny is once again selling a load of bull! just like her "TELL ALL" book that didn't even come close to telling all about herself! someone please ask jenny about her days working for "SNEAK PREVIEWS" as a stripper! funny how you never here about that! she was never poor! back in the days before playboy she made well over a $1,000.00 just on weekends.

[foreverfamily09]

our child was diagnosed with autism too after a bad reaction from a vaccine! no miracle cures, no therapy, no altered diet, nothing, he just snapped out of it & now is completely "normal", the team of neurologists at northwestern were simply wrong! there is no definite tests, but i know there is no real cure!my own immune systems went haywire for 3 years & i had food allergies to nuts, soy, wheat, corn,etc...i was in the hospital all the time & then it all went away! sometimes it just happens.

[swlax07]

Vaccines do not cause autism. There is no evidence to show this, while there is growing evidence to show that vaccines do not cause autism. It is good to hear that your child was fortunate enough to be in the group of children that grows out of autism.

[sunclov]

isn't it wonderful how the body CAN heal itself.

[brandonthebuck]

Jenny talks in more detail about her charity, Generation Rescue, in this video from Causecast.

watch?v=nweLT9mN4Qo&fmt=18

"Jenny McCarthy talks about Generation Rescue"

[NeverDieAgain79]

What motive does Jenny McCarthy have for telling the whole world that her son is autistic? Is he really autistic or does she want him to be? It's being shoved in his throat - much like religion was shoved down mine.

[mjr256]

Actually, Jenny believes her son is an "indigo child" or a "crystal child." This means he really represents a higher state of human evolution & proponents of this belief often report their indigo children as "WRONGLY" diagnosed w/ ADHD, ADD, or autism. THIS IS WHAT JENNY MCCARTHY ACTUALLY BELIEVES. Read her essay: "Insights of an Indigo Mom

A Mother's Awakening"

[sunclov]

What, OMG she is so full of herself.

[Ooloosoon]

The BIG PHARMA OWNED MEDIA is STILL Pimping this insanity and IGNORES COLLOIDAL SILVER

Scientific Research at BYU Univeristy shows that "Silver Biotics" COLLOIDAL SILVER (found at your local GNC HEALTHFOOD STORE) KILLS EVERYONE Of the 650 Different Pathogens tested so far

and Unv. Research last year showed SILVER KILLED 100% OF HIV in tests!

They think SILVER CAN KILL EVERY VIRUS ON EARTH

Google IT !

Meantime NOT A WORD ABOUT ANY OF THIS FROM THE BIG PHARMA OWNED MEDIA (LOL!)

[sunclov]

Don't take too much.

You'll turn blue.

Google it.

[Ooloosoon]

No I wont..The TRUTH is that Silver DOES NOT CAUSE you to "turn Blue"

Thats why the SILVER DENTAL WORK IN YOUR MOUTH..DOES NOT "turn YOU blue"

the EPA report on subject informs us that ONLY Specific Chemical Salts of Silver are involved (NOT Silver)

Of course the BIG PHARMA OWNED MEDIA is more than happy to keep this MYTH going wouldnt want ya to stop buying their crapy products would they

In India MILLIONS take Silver Every Year and have been doing so for 5,000 years.They arent blue

[joey125]

...we weren't given any other options. No discussion about an AAP APPROVED alternate vaccination schedule. No discussion about preservative free vaccinations. No discussion about antibody tests that would rule out some of the less important vaccines...roto virus anyone? No discussion...period.

[sunclov]

yep, there is nothing a doctor hates more than asking questions, and not following their directions. They are on such EGO trips, I hate docs. They take it personal if you question their authority.

[joey125]

A quick update: As you may have noticed, I haven't removed the vaccine arguments from the comment section of this post. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, none so much (in my opinion, people!!) as the parents of children on the spectrum. My to year old went in for his well check last week and guess what happened when I refused the vaccines? We were told we were going to be dropped from the practice...

[nicfriendly]

pay extra for the european vaccine , they dont' have mercury in them!

[Doazic]

Neither do the American vaccines...

[nicfriendly]

also, wait until your child is 1 1/2 years old before you start vaccines. also, try to nurse up to that point. if you live in the states , all they need is 1 polio and 2 tetanus!

[nicfriendly]

find a wholistic doctor, that isn't connected to insurance. pay out of pocket . do anything. just don't give your kids mmr vaccine!

[wheel29]

I used to like Jenny but she has become so rude in her dealings with others. I'm all for being passionate but stop interrupting other guests on a show and let them talk. Allow 5 mins at the end for conspiracy theories, until then try to be mature. Amen.

[nmste]

we are sick of the lies, those skulky bastards deserve no such treatment, they should be killed by firing squad, you know how rude and immature and unprofessional I have seen pediatricians behave when questioned?, they should get on their knees, and beg forgiveness for the way they treat the parents of children with autism

[kingjoevii]

what is wrong with everyone??

this is Jenny Mccarthy...from "singled out" and former Playmate of the year!

Of course we should believe her and her many many years of experience as a terrible actress - especially when it comes to complex scientific issues! She knows much more than the thousands of scientist who actually went to school and have studied the issues with a scientific mind.

[mjpitche]

She might as well. None of the scientist and/or doctors seem to know there ass from a hole in the ground on this subject. It's pretty frustrating for a parent to deal with these inept people.

[MillsApparatus]

The real conspiracy here consists of the individuals selling phony autism treatments. Autistic spectrum disorders are difficult to diagnose, and commonly misdiagnosed. This makes it easy for parents to genuinely report "cured" children who were never autistic, and falsely report cures in children who are merely high functioning. Jenny McCarthy stated that she believes anecdotal evidence to be scientific. She's wrong, and she's helping scammers take advantage of naive parents.

[Katekelly85]

no its not science vs. jenny mcCarthy. she is sticking up and representing the millions of familys and mothers that are going through what she did. shes giving them a vocie in this battle that they probably wouldnt have without her

[emcda001]

Also, it would be premature to stop vaccinating children, but what they did do was remove mercury from all vaccines when anyone thought it may have a link. But in fact this was not concluded either. Children recieve their vaccinations in a strategic booster style method which helps their young immune system manage the bombardment with viruses and potential infections. Please do not encourage anyone to take a stand based on DAN-Doctor advice. May all these children make strides to connect with us

[MrsDoGood]

1st, not all childhood vaccines have removed thimerosol. Hep-B still contains the mercury preservative. First does is given at the hospital before mom takes baby home (anywhere between day 1 and 3). READ THE INSERT LABEL FROM THE MANUFACTURER! It clearly states that it contains "traces of thimerosal." Why would you want to put that in a newborn's body? It is an assault on their immune system.

[emcda001]

OK. I definitely feel for a parents attempt to connect with their beautiful children, but let me remind you that there is no proof which connects vaccines to autism, and ALL the research that has been done in both Europe and the US points other causes. It is easier to blame something rather than genetics, but the fact is three genetic markers have been found in those with autism. There is fruitful research and treatments on the rise. Its important to vaccinate your children against real threats.

[friendofyahweh]

Stop being naive because you can't handle the truth that murders want to harm and dumb down the public. Yes, you and your children. They carried out 911. Do you really think they have your best interest in mind. Go ahead and vaccinate, and pay the ultimate price. You are missing the simplest POINT of all. WHY was the mercury in there to begin with? and The same people who put it in, SAY they took it out. And you trust them? They removed it from a small batch, so it can be said they removed it.

[MillsApparatus]

Not actual mercury, a mercury derivative and it's there as a preservative. Mercury vapors are the toxic stuff, and the harm they cause differs significantly from autism. There is strong evidence for genetic causes of autism and no scientifically established link between vaccinations and autistic spectrum disorders.

[friendofyahweh]

The Amish don't vaccinate, and have no Autism.

So, whatever you need to tell yourself.

[nmste]

where is this convenient genetic evidence?

[MrsDoGood]

Why do they still put antifreeze, mercury, aluminum, and other harmful chemicals in the infant vaccinations?

Until pediatriacians and the CDC stop selling out to the insurance and pharmaceutical companies nothing will change.

Everyone should read David Kirby's "Evidence of Harm." It will explain why this has happened.

Remember people, there can never be a genetic epidemic. To blame the rise of Autism, Aspergers, and PDD-NOS on genetics alone is disingenuous at best.

[L2design]

The Amish who claim religious exemption to vaccination, did not report a single case of measles between 1970 and 1987

NO THEY DO NOT VACCINATE CHANNELLOXDUMBASS

JUNE 4 MARCH IN WASHINGTON!!!! IM SO MAD I WANNA GO AND I DONT HAVE KIDS

[L2design]

Vaccines!!!! MERCURY IN YOUR CHILDS VACCINES! Why do Omish societies that dont vaccinate have NO AUTISM OR RETARDATIONS. OPEN YOUR EYES.

[channellox]

Amish do vaccinate their children.

[amiriliano]

That's actually a complete lie. There is no record of autism in those communities. Don't believe everything you hear.

[friendofyahweh]

Thank you! A think person emerges. WAKE UP Yuppies!

[amiriliano]

200 years of vaccination science vs. jenny McCarthy...

[friendofyahweh]

200 years of vaccination science vs. jenny McCarthy and thousands of angry moms and people of the world.

[italiamom]

my son has pdd and we tryed the diet and it didnt work. the diet doesnt work on all children. and i dont get how she said they can be cure of this? it false hope........

[joey125]

MCCARTHY: But the help, it is available out there. People need to know that it is real. And it doesn't help all. You know, I actually kind of started crying in the bathtub last night thinking about all the moms that are going to try all these things that I'm talking about and it's not going to help all these kids. But chemotherapy doesn't help every cancer victim.

[joey125]

MCCARTHY: I mean my best kind of scenario or example was, you know, you can't really become cured from it. It's like getting hit by a bus. You don't become cured, but you can recover. And you're still going to have boo- boos.

[joey125]

I am most definitely NOT an expert. In our experience... FOR GABRIEL, the starting point was ABA/PLAY and the inclusion of a restricted diet has most definitely helped him to focus.

[DefeatADDnow]

she didnt say the diet work for everyone..it doesnt work for me either...but the antifungals and chelation are helping..you cant recover till you handle the excess yeast, metals, and nutritional deficiencies

[DefeatADDnow]

you need to do chelation and use antifungals..the diet is miraculous for some and doesn't work for others.

this is much better that kathyf11's version that was just shot on a camcorder!

[kathyf11]

I have been very sick I was lucky to get the footage at all, I am having sinus surgery today can't you hear me coughing in the film. I just wanted the information out. I don't care where they get the information just get it and help the kids.

[joey125]

kathy, i agree! thank you so much for adding more of the segment. get well soon!

[kathyf11]

I'm getting well I have had cronic sinusis for to many years and I finally went under the knife. Guess what my doctor has a Autistic Son we talked about that too.

thank You.

[kathyf11]

I agree this is much better it's for the kids help I just hate to see kids on those drugs when they are full of toxic metals, on our third trip to doctors to get chelation I noticed our boy a sleep in our the car , he had never never done that in my car before. Our children have been poisoned.
