The fear that there is an epidemic of autism is unfounded. This is because the data that says there is an epidemic is itself flawed--and so, it's unreliable and quite possibly completely untrue. This two-minute video clip explores the issue. The finger is often pointed at immunization shots in spite of now numerous studies showing the safety of vaccines. Says Dr. Andrew Adesman, Chief of Developmental and Behavior Pediatrics at Schneider Children's Hospital, in an interview, "Although the statistics themselves show some dramatic increase that maybe there are some arbitrary or non-clinical reasons why those figures are increasing." In fact, the definition of autism has changed over the years, and differs between state criteria and medical criteria--making the diagnosis of autism a moving target.

Dr. Mark Geier and David Geier discuss their new Lupron protocol to treat excess testosterone and precocious puberty in autistics, as a means to aid in the removal of mercury from the body. In this interview, the Geiers detail their theory how testosterone binds to mercury, increasing its toxicity to the nervous system and trapping it in the body, resulting in excess levels of both in children with autism. This theory accounts for why 5 times as many BOYS have autism than girls. By lowering testosterone, according to the Geiers, heavy metal chelation becomes much more effective.

Parent Advocacy by Sharon Link
Advocates make sure that the law is upheld, but they do so much more.
The most successful “Parent Advocates” are parents who recognize their role as an advocate for their child, but instead of building that role as an adversary, they build positive relationships knowing that is the one true method to help their child through the educational process. Parents can actually model personalization by being personal in the school environment. Advocates are strong. But, their strength doesn’t diminish the power of others.
