I had no ...Thank you so much for this information! I had no idea any of this was going on. I had always just believed the doctors knew best and would never do anything to endanger their patients. I was naive, I know. I don't think all doctors are bad, by the way, but how do we sort them out before damage is done? I have never had a child with autism, but I do have a daughter with asthma, which was severe when she was an infant. When she would struggle to breathe, it was absolutely terrifying. The idiot doctor that actually took over when our original pediatrician left looked me straight in the eye and told me she was fine. Didn't listen to her chest, didn't examine her at all. Just told me she was fine as she was turning colors and I could feel her struggling for air as I held her. They (she and her associate) kept insisting she had RSV each time she did this, which was over three times. You don't get RSV three times. I left the office and immediately took her to the emergency room. It took 3 breathing treatments, an oral suspension and a shot to get her breathing normally again. Had it not been very late at night by the time we left the ER, I would have probably ended up in jail after going back to that woman's office. We obviously NEVER took her there again. I am happy to say our pediatrician that we have now saved her.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that is my drama, and I just wanted to share it. Thanks again for sharing your info. It is always better to be armed with info when it comes to our children.<BR/><BR/>God bless you and your family.

(if this affected professional atheletes it'd be the lead story every night, now wouldn't it??!)<BR/><BR/>new parents are not told ANY of this!!! the one profile i saw on "60 minutes" a year or so ago told the whole story as if the parents were blaming the VACCINES THEMSELVES and not the preservatives! the word MERCURY was not mentioned *once*...except by me...in my living room...yelling at the telly! (this is why i am not usually allowed to watch "60 minutes" actually!)<BR/><BR/>you already KNOW i think you are fabulous in soooooo many ways, but this is yet another example! you never whine, you never complain, you love your beautiful & amazing daughters EXACTLY as they are...and yet...you are there to look out for other people's children too!<BR/><BR/>xoxolaurenlauren bergoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390124683115764907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169036641722287563.post-91924550905626138472008-03-09T11:29:00.000-04:002008-03-09T11:29:00.000-04:00We are so proud of you, Doug, Kathryn, & Julia.

I love children and I am posting for the first time today because I read a great entry on Junes blog http://simplyelegantpapercrafts.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/><BR/>which was incredibly moving to me. Then, typically, a conment I read tried to bring down the post with some old misinformation. June stood her ground (way t go June! It can be hard to expose oneself on these entries!) and she has inspired me to back her up on what she said. June is young, extremely intelligent and educated, and clearly doesn't appear to wish to divide the autism factions into even worse and more argumentative sectors. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>We MUST work together, we must! Vaccinations and the harm they have done are an essential place to begin, to begin the research and to help our beloved children. If you don't grasp that, then at the very least don't try to be sneakily agressive toward other people who do not feel the same people you do.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>One cool thing June has here, if you feel the same way I do: a place to donate to help with autism research. This is invauable! We are all in this together. Let's remember to behave like that and show our love for our dear chidren by learning as much as we can, the way June has, and by helping by donating as muh as we can!<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>keep it up, June! love to you all!<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Kiki OMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169036641722287563.post-73948681820644021622008-03-07T21:59:00.000-05:002008-03-07T21:59:00.000-05:00Great observations June!

You know what you're talking about and I have experienced with my own children the connection with the vaccinations and autism, along with several other parents. I am behind you 100% and there are many of us who will not accept the false statements from the drug company shills (greedy lawyers,doctors,politicians and CEOs) This connection is not a disservice, some people are fooled and hide their heads in the sand, I wish them well it's still a battle. A battle where there are many parents who believe you are correct from their own observations with their autistic children. Please continue in your battle for the truth we are out there and behind you!<BR/>Another Parent who knowsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534227831282388231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169036641722287563.post-11637248735805623762008-03-07T20:26:00.000-05:002008-03-07T20:26:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jean Katherine Baldridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497992193034414806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169036641722287563.post-73048853204573219982008-03-07T11:20:00.000-05:002008-03-07T11:20:00.000-05:00Does vaccination cause autism?

He was diagnosed with autism just before his third birthday, and Asperger's Syndrome at eight. Baxter exhibited symptoms from infancy, prior to vaccination. He did not experience a deterioration in abilities as did your daughters. In fact, he had savant tendencies. (He taught himself to read at 2-1/2.)<BR/><BR/>I think this emphasis on the perceived connection between vaccines and autism does a great disservice to parents. Many may not vaccinate their children, leading to increases in childhood illnesses such as measles and whooping cough. And, if they choose to vaccinate and a child develops autism, they may blame themselves.<BR/><BR/>I wish you and your daughters well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
