Bowel Virus Found In Autistic Children Who Had MMR Jab

[New Wakefield study. See abstract below. By Beezy Marsh for the Daily

Mail, UK. Not available online at press time.]

Saftey fears over MMR have been increased still further by a study

which detected signs of a chronic viral infection in the bowels of

children

who became autistic after the jab.

The virus — feared to come from the measles component of the

injection —appears to have sparked an abnormal response of the immune

system

similar to that in patients with HIV The discovery by researchers at,

the

Royal Free Hospital in London comes as uptake of the measles, mumps

and

rubella jab has fallen to an all-time low of 78 per cent. Parents are

not

convinced it is safe despite official assurances that it does not

cause

autism or bowel disease.

The latest findings, published in the Journal of Clinical Immunology,

follow studies carried out by gastroenterologist Dr Wakefield

who

raised concerns about MMR in 1998.

The specialist was forced out of his job at the Royal Free in 2001

amid claims that his research had proved too unpopular among the med-

cal

community.

In October last year his former colleague Dr Simon Murch insisted that

he had always supported the vaccine. However, he is a co-author with

Dr

Wakefield of the latest paper which concludes there is further

evidence of a

new form of bowel disease in children with regressive autism — losing

the

power of speech and becoming autistic.

Another common complaint among children alleged to have been harmed by

MMR is a painful inflammatory gut disorder.

Dr Wakefield and Dr Murch examined bowel tissue from 52 children

showing signs of autism alter the MMR jab. They found widespread

inflammation throughout the bowel and evidence of an unusual immune

system

response. The intestinal lining contained large numbers of a

particular type

of white blood cell — lymphocytes — which fight viral infection. This

study

did not show whether the virus concerned was measles.

But other tests by pathologists have found the measles virus In the

bowel tissue and spinal fluid of autistic children alleged to he

harmed by

MMR.

Dr Wakefield said: This paper not only confirms the presence of

disease distinct from other inflammatory bowel diseases in these

children

but the, findings are also consistent with a viral cause.

`What we saw was a response not dissimilar to that seen in some

patients with HJV Clearly these kids don't have Aids but the response

fits

the pathology consistent with chronic viral disease. That is a most

valuable

finding.'

A Department of Health spokesman said MMR remained the safest way to

vaccinate children against serious childhood diseases.

" This is not a study about MMR and therefore makes no contribution to

the already published literature on the vaccine. "

Measles virus even in the spinal fluid! Maybe that is why my son responded

so intensely initially to very small amounts of Toueff (measles transfer

factor) and then got better and better on it.

You can get it from www.ChisolmBio.com. Give them a call. Don't start out

with their recommended dosage as it is too much. We gave a very small dose

every other day and worked up to 3/4 of a scoop every day, given in the

morning only. Chisolm has great products.

Please tell me more about Toueff. What is it, where do you get it? My son

got 2 MMRs one at 15 mo and one at 2 yrs old. Then he stalled....

Thank you.
