April was National Autism Awareness Month. This is a very emotional and controversial subject, especially when you have a loved one (child or adult) affected with autism or a vaccination-related condition. While some choose to hysterically finger point after the fact, I will attempt to present the facts in this article.  

For more than two decades, parents have been reporting that after being vaccinated, their child spiked a fever and exhibited "other complications" including inconsolable crying, extreme lethargy, seizures, bowel problems and more and some children regressed into autism. When parents said that they believed there was a link, they were called emotional, desperate, scientifically illiterate and looking for someone to blame.

A common factor in autism is the accumulation of environmental toxic metals in the brain. The Center for Disease Control is now beginning to admit the source of these heavy metals is vaccinations. The reason for the heavy metals in vaccines is to stimulate an immune response. The immune system is very specific and reacts almost immediately. In the early 1900's, a study was done where a pathogen was injected into the ear of a rabbit and as soon as the pathogen containing fluid touched the ear, the ear was cut off. Two weeks later, antibodies to the pathogen were found in the rabbit. For heavy metals to be a problem two things must occur. There must be an antibody to the heavy metal and the barrier systems of the body must be compromised.

Every source on autism focuses on eliminating the toxic metals from the body. I grew up out west and two analogies come to mind with this focus on toxic metals. There's no sense shutting the barn door after the horses are out and good fences make good neighbors. Every spring after the spring thaw, the pasture fences were down and our cattle were mixed up with the neighbors. Dad would get agitated and we would spend days sorting cattle and mending "our" side of the fence. The cattle (properly sorted) would directly go over to the neighbor's broken fences and the agitation, sorting and chasing would start over again. Since that section of the fence wasn't our responsibility, I would be sent out daily to remove the unwanted cattle from our pasture. The more I chased them, the more everything became agitated. I wasn't allowed to mend the broken fence; I only was to focus on removing cattle.

You might say this is crazy: fix the fence - eliminate the problem. This is no different from the treatments for autism or post-vaccine syndrome chasing the toxic metals while the barriers are down or eliminating food allergens but ignoring the broken digestive chemistry. Sometimes the more you attempt to remove toxic metals through cleanses, foot baths, and chelation therapies, the more you can stir them up.

Infants, children and young women are not the only ones exposed to vaccines. Nurses, hospital workers, food workers, military and foreign travelers all receive multiple vaccines. If your loved one exhibited "other complications" including inconsolable crying, extreme lethargy, seizures, bowel problems, chronic joint and muscle pain and fatigue, you should be concerned.   If pain and swelling at the injection site occurred, followed by adverse events including headache, brain fog, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, myalgia, gastroenteritis, appendicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, asthma, bronchospasm and arthritis, it is likely these conditions are vaccine related. These complications are often dismissed as age related issues and overlooked.
