ASA to Participate in Press Conference on Mercury and Autism/100K from Merck

March 28, 2006

I know this article was posted before and I have not read through this

recent thread to see if this was brought up again. Look who is giving ASA

the $100 K... " Merck Fund " ....as in Merck pharmaceuticals.

PRESIDENT BUSH'S WORST NIGHTMARE HAS COME TRUE...THE BLAME GAME. LET THE

FINGERING POINTING BEGIN! IT WAS THE FISH, NO IT WAS THE COAL BURNING

PLANTS, NO IT WAS THE CARPET CLEANER....NEVER MIND THE MOST OBVIOUS ONE...

THE INJECTED FORM OF ONE OF THE MOST TOXIC SUBSTANCES ON EARTH.

A quote from the ASA press release below:

" If chemicals in the environment are a factor in causing autism and other

health problems, then reducing exposures to them will help prevent autism, "

said Francis W. Hatch, chairman of the Fund.

Gee, what chemical could be causing autism, Mr. Hatch?

Some info I found on the Foundation:

Merck Fund

Position: Trustee

The Merck Fund was set up in 1970 by Serena Merck, the widow of Merck

Pharmaceuticals CEO W. Merck, in honor of their short-lived son

{Fraud?} RE: ASA to Participate in Press Conference on Mercury and

Autism

Gee- While I say the more the merrier, I think if ASA is getting $100K

to do a program to " bring awareness to environmental health issues and

ASD, the paradigm shift in considering autism as a treatable condition

and the response the medical community must take to address the autism

epidemic "

The schedule for their upcoming conference hardly reflects this. No more

than a token few speakers on the topic. Some paradigm shift ASA.

--------------------------------

It seems a rather unfair assessment of what they are doing. Focusing solely

on EOH issues is rather myopic.

Okay let's say it's a new day and that pharmica and the feds have been held

accountable, mercury removed, viral issues resolved (MMR) and possible

compensation received(which likely wouldnt be much considering the numbers).

We will still find ourselves with autistic individuals to care and provide

for probably the rest of some of their lives. Chelation/biomeds help some

but dont certainly cure all.

The issues in their agenda are still valid as they address or attempt to

address these needs.

They'll still have to deal with schools

insurance issues

day to day care

social interaction
