Guest guest Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Perfect. Rush at the United Center. Maybe to coincide with Autism One?

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Really???? I met him at Farm Aid. I snuck into a press party with my friends. Joni was there smoking Camel Cigarettes, and Mark Goodman from MTV. I think I will follow up on Neil Young. Thanks, Lia! > > Neil..

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 No, there was a report out about that, that he has kids from different mothers and both have autism. It is not autism, however, that his children have - it is cerebral palsy. Many sources say so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Young http://www.thrasherswheat.org/ptma/village_voice_w89.htm http://www.popmatters.com/books/reviews/s/shakey.shtml On Feb 4, 2007, at 2:27 PM, LFMleczko@... wrote: Neil..

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'd heard that Still's son has autism. This, from wikipedia: Another son, Henry, has been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, and is profiled in "Autism: The Musical," a (forthcoming) 2007 documentary. krstagliano <KRStagliano@...> wrote: NO - Neil Young's son has Cerebral Palsy. >> Neil..

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I believe there is some evidence that cerebral palsy is due to mercury toxicity: From a few stories on Minimata: An epidemic of cerebral palsy in children escaped notice until 1960; 40 cases were described before fishing in the bay was forbidden. In the infamous town of Minamata, Japan, where a plastics factory once dumped large amounts of mercury into the sea for more than three decades ending in the late 1960s, a disproportionate number of women gave birth to babies with cerebral palsy, even though the women showed no signs of poisoning at all. From the Natural Resources Defense Council: Prenatal exposure to methyl mercury at high levels can cause overt Minamata Disease, with symptoms which include: • Mental retardation • Seizures • Cerebral palsy • Blindness and deafness • Disturbances of swallowing, sucking, and speech • Hypertonia, rigidity, hyperreflexia Sue > > > > Neil..

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I have a niece with C.P. who was born prematurely. No idea whether mercury played a role, but the mother was older... like early to mid 40's. Her other two children are perfectly healthy, N.T. kids. > > > > > > Neil..

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 My neighbor has a son with CP; he was a preemie, I want to say he was 12 weeks early. Of course she went into early labor right after receiving her thimerosal containing RhoGam. > > > > > > > > Neil..

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 God would I love to see a study on that. I wonder if it's possible for an independent body to assemble their own version of the VSD in cooperation with the HMO's? > > > > > > > > > > Neil..

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I recently started playing poker with a Mom of a child with CP. The baby seemed fine until 24 hours after birth she couldn’t stop seizing. She’s nine and I just asked the mother at what time after birth did she get her Hep B vaccines. She said “what’s that, do they give it to you in the hospital?”, it had never occurred to her that the vaccine could have caused the seizures that resulted in CP.
