autism

Sorry if a repost, I searched around and was surprised I didn't see this posted. A buddy of mine posted this a few days ago on Facebook. The stupidity sensors in my brain burned away the sight receptors, and I'm just now regaining my vision...

"That virus-laden DNA of aborted babies could be wreaking havoc on the DNA of healthy children is completely plausible," http://www.lifenews.com/nat6272.html I'm speachless. We should have the "anti-choice/anti-vaccine" tag-team take on "Palin/Bachman" to see which should hold the belt for...

I’m starting this post to collect our rebuttals of McCarthy’s claims from the following website: http://www.pr.com/article/1076 I’m starting off with her question about vaccines. My responses are in a bold font and the interviewer and McCarthy are italicized. Question #1: PR.com asks: Why...

http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2010/02/26/jenny-mccarthy-says-her-son-evan-never-had-autism/ So, after that campaign against vaccination that came with a real death toll, it now appears as though her son does not have autism and she has to at least somewhat recant all of that crazy. I have no...

A Chiropractor came to a group I go to to talk about nutrition and wellness. I'm already familiar with the silliness of it and could start a thread on the usual bunk, but I could see the appeal. He was very personable and open, inviting people to come by his office, use the library of health...

Following recent announcements that Wakers is looking for a new position that will entail him using his skills to help children, I have pleasure in revealing his new job. [courtesy of a link from someone called Jennifer Phillips over at orac] Too good not to share.

Hey guys, take a look at this site: http://www.nationalautismassociation.org/index.php I understand they also have a facebook page (I am not on facebook so I can't provide further info or link). From a quick look at the website it looks like there is woo on this site, especially when you look...

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091008131852.htm Again. Although, the woo woos balk at the word "scientific". Evidence matters not, ideas must stand no matter how much they are shown to be baseless!! So, did any mainstream news channels pick this story up and spread it...

This article was presented on another website, and the poster has asked for it to be debunked. "Hepatitis-B Vaccine Triples the Risk of Autism in Infant Boys" The article is dated October 8, 2009. Here are the opening paragraphs: . The article also includes a section on "The Evidence...

2.) Dr. Moulden, we understand that you have made a revolutionary discovery. Can you tell us about it?* I would be happy to. Through my extensive research and my work throughout the years, I have discovered that vaccinations are causing impaired blood flow (ischemia) to brain and body from...

So I read this article which states that Mozart, Orwell, Einstein, Beethoven and Newton all had autism. Not "may have had", but "had." I had never heard of this before. So I googled "Mozart Orwell Einstein autism" and lots of people seem to be saying it. Most seem to be based on the work...

I just heard on the morning news that there was a new study published regarding autism and diet. There is a study released at the Aspen Health Forum 2009 that, once again, revealed no relationship between the GI tract and neurological symptoms associated with autism. The evidence-based medicine...

I have been motivated to set up a website to tackle two specific issues that people are constantly debating, despite the mountains of evidence that support the scientific community. http://factsnotfantasy.com I am looking for more folks to help with this, as well as any feedback or thoughts...

So I was talking in a different forum.. and some Woo guy who had started a thread about Modern Medicine denial and that we need to rethink the way we think of diseases. So I was chatting back and forth, the guy brought up some crazy things like how he knows how to cure ADHD and Autism.. And...

Good article from the Chicago Tribune on Mark Geier's latest shenanigans. P.S. I meant to post this in the science etc forum...

Please read: ‘Horse Boy,’ family find respite from autism in Mongolia Rupert’s 3-year-old son, Rowan, ran under a horse, and according to his father, the mare didn’t spook and was submissive. So it appears Rupert believes in a supernatural “direct connection” :( Hippotherapy, or riding a...

I've never watched this show before but it was about a mother with 3 boys, one autistic (the oldest) and the other two had not been vaccinated. One of the boys caught measles and the doctor vaccinated the other boy in direct opposition to the mother. It made antivaxers look selfish, ignorant...

Folks, hi, Haven't been here on the forums for a while, not since the 'great speaker cable debacle' involving Michael(s) Fremer and Lavigne anyway. Being an engineer, and an electrical one to boot, that sort of carry-on really piques my interest. But now there's another issue that's caught my...

I am trying to determine what kind of research has been done on what treatment actually works for "autism spectrum disorders". The State of Washington (and other states nationwide) are receiving a media/net-roots blitz urging the passage of bills requiring insurance carriers provide up to...

http://www.peta.org/feat_autism.asp It's time for the nonsense train. I mean, they could have actually linked to the studies..

Scientific American publishes this article on a statistical study of autism; it finds that increased diagnosis and screening is not the major cause of the increase in disease frequency found in California, and calls for more basic research...

I see that Obama has equivocated (at best) on vaccines and autism. link Has he reversed this stance yet? I can understand him speaking from ignorance as a throwaway comment, but I'd hope that someone has pointed out to him in the meantime that the science is conclusive.
