Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I would be very excited if I knew any real research was being done, other than brain scans and eye flicker patterns. Lol. Why aren't they funding the heck out of chelation studies, MB-12 studies, diet studies, and all the other studies for which real progress is being shown. Yeah, maybe all that other stuff has a place, but certainly not when research is so desperately needed to help desperately. Fund what's working, put a hold on what's not. I don't know of a single treatment that's come out of any brain mapping. On the flip side, chelation that helps neurons has helped what, 75%? I know some of those who is hasn't helped probably haven't found the right protocol for their kid. I have a kid that's been chronically hospitalized for metabolic acidosis, vomited until near death many times. The " professionals " just look at me with a blank stare. But since March she's started LDN & methylb-12. She's been sick 1 time with a cold, 1 time with vomiting. Why aren't things like this getting research money? Because it's helping?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 The language of the announcement is convincing, to say the least.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi Deb, The reason is that they have no intention of ever funding a study that will link thimerisol with autism, or any neurodevelopmental delay. That includes any and all learning disability no matrrer how mild. Gene theory be damned. We will all be poisoned by neuro toxins. Our genes will just determine how little, or much will do it. We already know the cause. The studies have been done. They know it, we know it. This is all about getting them to admit it, and they never will. Why do you think autism, and ADD/ADHD have ended up in the DSM IV manual's. They are going to turn all the bran damages into mental illness so the Pharmas can cash in using brain disabling drugs. They are going to do it with the Governments blessing. There is an old saying. When you find yourself beating a dead horse its best just to dismount. They will never admit it as long as all that were involved are still breathing.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Unfortunately, because it's helping. Do you think they really want that? Some do. If it does help, what does that say about it's cause. Isn't the whole charade is to deny the cause? MHO.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Exactly, I am sure the CDC has contacted their attorneys to identify the best stance take to avoid legal action and possible incarceration. I know if I did this to thousands of kids I would be looking for ways to cover my @ss. It's not about what is best for the kids any more, it's a fight. I am confused why legal action from parents is at such a stand still with this. With all the evidence from the likes of the Geirs', Boyd Haley, Wakefield, etc and in particular Mady Horning with her mice model. I don't get how all this can be dismissed. > > > > I don't post here too much, mostly lurk to keep current on issues, > > but just got this email and thought it would be of interest. > > > > Dear Friends and Family, > > > > It is with great enthusiasm that I announce that Cure Autism Now and > > Autism Speaks have signed a memo of understanding to combine > > operations, thereby uniting the nation's two leading autism > > organizations. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious what effect will be had as Barry of G.R. jumps on board as a consultant for A.S. He's one of us. I can't imagine it's all bad if the s chose to bring him aboard.

Because it's EXPENSIVE! It's too bad they can't see how EXPENSIVE this is going to be to the economy when these kids grow into adulthood. The future will see the rolling of many, many heads who knew the truth, yet did nothing. Theirs is a dark legacy and history will be their judge.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Here it is and I hope it's okay that I cut and pasted the email from them here: Dearest Friends: Though the word friends hardly does justice to how we feel about you. You have been our brothers and sisters, our comrades in battle, our shoulders to cry on, the arms that lift us up. When we look in each other's eyes we see the same thing--that crazy mix of determination, sadness, endless love and hope for a better future. We are writing today to tell you about a big decision that we are making at Cure Autism Now; we pray that it will be the right one and we hope that you will join us. We have decided that we can best serve the people we love with autism by joining forces with Autism Speaks and becoming one much, much stronger organization. The urgency with which we approach our mission will be the same, the optimism and creativity and compassion will be the same. But we are betting that our ability to get the message out, reach more people and fund more research will be greater. And it needs to be. Because even though things are better than they were 10 years ago, more people are getting diagnosed than ever before. The numbers are going up not down, there is more sadness not less and there is more that we must get done. We are bringing our innovative science programs, including AGRE, ATN, Clinical Trials Network and Innovative Technology for Autism. We are creating a new well-funded program that will pursue high risk, high reward research. And we will be adding more money and more reach and the ability to truly spread the message all over the country. We will be joining up with thousands and thousands of other families who are as passionate as we are. And if we were loud before, we will be louder. We are writing to say that as we join Autism Speaks, we pledge to stay true to everything Cure Autism Now is and to bring that into the new organization. And so we ask you to come with us. We ask you to get more committed, show your passion with even more power and dedication. We will be getting bigger and stronger and tougher and more insistent. As we grow, we will get even faster not slower, our hearts will grow bigger, we will listen to you harder. Whether our kids are 3 or 30, can't say a word or can't stop talking about the baseball schedule, we want better lives for them. And whether we are called Cure Autism Now, Autism Speaks, or that perennial favorite in our house, Autism Sucks, our commitment to a better life for those with autism does not change. Is there a downside? Well we suppose all those T-shirts and coffee cups become memorabilia, but that is a small price to pay. And at CAN we have always been about building the future, not dwelling on the past. Still now might be a good time to look, for a moment, at what you have done as part of CAN. You have created a field of scientific research where there was nothing. You have written and passed the only important legislation for autism and are about to make history by doing it again with the Combating Autism Act. By creating AGRE, you have changed the way science is done and created the gold standard of collaboration. You have made autism part of the national vocabulary. You have given a voice to people who have no voice. You have insisted that this generation is worth saving. We are so proud of everything we have accomplished so far and we believe that together, as we become the loudest, largest, most mobilized and powerful force our community has ever seen, we can do twice as much in the future. Join us. Help us in the next part of the journey. Help us as we help Autism Speaks speak passionately, truthfully and urgently for all of us and our children, now.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 It's a legal proceeding all right. No decision as to whre it will take place yet. If not DC-may go somewhere to middle of country. As far as I know right now--(or last I heard) there are 5,400 lawsuits filed in Vaccine Court regarding thimerosal/vaccines/autism etc. I don't know the link-perhaps soeone else can chime in.markautismcharge <mark.connolly.cgb5@...> wrote: Excuse my ignorace on this.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 U.C. MIND Institute is in the middle of a large MB12 study right now, and in another 6 weeks or so they are lauching another large study on the effects of HBOT. They had a lecture there three weeks ago on toxicology that I was told by friends was excellent (I couldn't attend due to IV therapy with my son that day). The toxicology lecture should be up on their website soon in the media section for viewing. > > > > I don't post here too much, mostly lurk to keep current on issues, > > but just got this email and thought it would be of interest. > > > > Dear Friends and Family, > > > > It is with great enthusiasm that I announce that Cure Autism Now and > > Autism Speaks have signed a memo of understanding to combine > > operations, thereby uniting the nation's two leading autism > > organizations. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I'm talking about a privately-funded study from CAN, not gov-funded. Of course the gov won't do it, which is my entire point about CAA. But CAN should really be past their studies they keep holding out on, I can't figure out why they are so against biomed.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 It's my op legal action is at a stand still because there just aren't attorneys wanting to prosecute. We could go after individuals for failing in their jobs to protect and intentionally harm our kids, but I've not met an attorney yet willing to take it on.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Absolutely and very well put. Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. The problem is this doesn't end until the credibility of our once reputable institutions collapse and they become the object of derision and belly laughter. That is a very sad thing for this society. Re: CAN and AS Hi Deb,The reason is that they have no intention of ever funding a study that will link thimerisol with autism, or any neurodevelopmental delay. That includes any and all learning disability no matrrer how mild. Gene theory be damned. We will all be poisoned by neuro toxins. Our genes will just determine how little, or much will do it.
