Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 This paragraph makes me livid. I have a very hard time believing that 50% of new mothers are druggies. It's as absurd as the whole " refridgerator mom " theory. > Rider said she has seen no conclusive evidence that thimerosal is harmful. She said the mercury is excreted from the body within seven days. Some experts distinguish the ethyl mercury used in thimerosal, from methyl mercury, which has a half-life of 50 days. They liken the toxicity between the two to that of the alcohol in red wine and the alcohol in antifreeze, which can cause blindness.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 It's worse than the neurologist in my town, who said to another autism mom and myself the other day, " I know it's not mercury...but it's something 'you girls' did during pregnancy...like drinking coke or something like that...

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 This is from the book: "While acknowledging a worrisome increase in the number of children with serious disorders, Rider noted that as many as 50 percent of new mothers acknowledge using illegal drugs during their pregnancies. Rider said she thinks it's far more plausible that childhood disorders stem from that source."How dare she! So we went from being uncaring mothers to drug abusers. Geez, we sure have come a long way!

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 -Forgive my frankness.. when modern medicine screws up they have the psych. come in with the dmsv -IV, when that fails... blame the mother. I do not know how we survived, no prenatal vits, our mothers smoked, had wine, and drank coffee.We are so amazing to survive all those bad things! How unfortunate we are to have NOT been vaccinated repeatedly. What really ticks me off is they insult our intelligence expecting us to believe this shit, while they are cashing in on thier stock portfolio's loaded with big pharma.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Holly, This anything-but-vaccines junk theory keeps popping up every once in a while. Spain and Holland have very liberal drug laws. There is a higher percentage of users there. Guess what? They also have very low autism rates. So much for that quack theory. If anything you could speculate that using dope prevents autism. You could, but I wouldn't. You know, we never had this much autism until cell phones, tatoos and Starbucks came along. Personally, I think it all started when women stopped wearing big hair styles and went big time for the boy teenager/homeless butch /fat anorexic look. That or feminisim, inline skates or rap music. Maybe it's when MicroSoft came on the scene. Shhhhh.. don't tell the CDC.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I might even be tempted to believe her, had I not done illegal drugs for a good 8 years prior to my pregnancy. And, let me add, the dope thing was only done I think 4 times. Based on that argument, my first should have been most profound, only she's NT -- but wait, I did " do " one drug during my conception, it was called a flu vaccine.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Thanks for the applause, , With all due humility, I also at times consider my writings to be hilarious. But it's hard to tell, to get feedback from the email media, if others find it that way. People tend to respond with email more when you make them mad, than when you make them laugh. I need humor to keep myself balanced and sane, so mostly I write funny stuff to please myself. Fortunately, I rarely find myself boring or fail to get my own jokes or stealth profanities (for example, I sometimes can humorously refer to people's private parts without actually mentioning them and without being risque -- see I just did, ha!). I'll have more such writing in the next newsletter, if I don't publish it here first. Lenny > > > Lenny, This is hysterical.
