Common observations.

The purpose of this communication is to set out
in simple terms the present status of the vaccine/autism problem.

There is no evidence available to support the
views held by a cabal of so-called medicinal
product regulators and health care
professionals that the observed increase in a
regressive developmental behavioural condition
having similarities to “autism” is not a real
increase but is due to “better diagnosing” or “diagnostic redefining”.

Since there is, after a decade of experience, no
such evidence, the reality of an increase has to be accepted as fact.

What follows has nothing to do with science, just common observation.

Starting somewhere about 1995 reports began to
appear concerning a hitherto unrecognised
clinical condition in young children
characterised by inflammatory bowel disease and a
regressive behavioural disorder classified as
autism. Since that time parental accounts have
added numerous other abnormalities, all or some
of which are present in affected children.
The following is a list of reported characteristics-
1. A period of normal development
2. Loss of previously learnt
capabilities particularly speech, eye contact and, mistakenly, hearing.
3. Appearance of worsening bowel
problems - diarrhoea/constipation/incontinence/passage of undigested food
4. Abdominal pain often severe and disabling
5. Abnormal thirst
6. Body temperature
dysregulation and loss of thermal sensitivity
7. Prolonged periods of
hyperpyrexia in the absence of identifiable infection
8. Sleep disturbance, frequently very distressing
9. Repetitive muscular activity,
apparently uncontrollable ­ bizarre posturing possibly due to pain
10. Temper tantrums and prolonged screaming, convulsions
11. Violent behaviour
12. Even in the absence of speech
the child may communicate distressing insight into their own disablilities
13. Lack of appreciation of danger
14. Dietary intolerance, often severe
15. Failure to thrive
16. Precocious sexual development
17. Various biochemical abnormalities
18. Endoscopic and biopsy evidence of serious bowel disease.
19. Variable improvements with dietary restrictions
20. Gait disturbance, unsteadiness and tip-toe walking
21. Skin rashes in the absence of obvious cause
22. Raised urinary uracil and thymine levels
23. Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency
This new syndrome has arisen within certain
particular circumstances. The simple observational facts are as follows ­
1. There were no reports of any
affected children prior to the end of the
1980’s. Almost all have arisen in the past 10 to 15 years.
2. There have been no reports of
children suffering the initiation of this
syndrome of abnormalities over the age of about
five years and almost all have been at a still
earlier age. There are no reports of the
syndrome first appearing in adolescence or adulthood.
3. This most unusual clinical
picture has arisen simultaneously in the USA, the
UK, Canada, Japan and most developed
countries. That is, between about 1990 (probably later) and 2008.

Whatever the cause of the syndrome may be it has
to be consistent with these three incontrovertible facts.

Any causative agent therefore must have been
either absent or inactive prior to the late
1980’s, it must have been either inaccessible or
inactive to individuals over the age of about
five years and to have become active at precisely
the same time over most of planet earth. This is
not science, they are simply the requirements arising from common observation.

It hardly needs to be said that causal
possibilities are considerably restricted. A
number of suggestions have been made which
include pollutants, dietary factors, infectious
agents and various toxic materials. None of
these are compatible with the observed
constraints which require, firstly, that they
would have been absent or inactive prior to the
end of the 1980’s, secondly, they would have to
have been specifically and exclusively active in
young children and, thirdly, they would have had
to become available in widely separated countries at exactly the same time.

Someone I know in the past has been a United
Kingdom representative on the OECD Chemicals
Programme, the EU toxicology programme, a medical
advisor to the UK Ministry of Agriculture
Fisheries and Food, the UK Health and Safety
Executive and the Consumer Protection Unit of the
Department of Trade and Industry and has known
of no material or agent that would meet these requirements.

The expansion of childhood vaccination programmes
is a possible and plausible causative
factor. This is not science, it is a fact which
is consistent with the constraints. I fully
agree that this is not proof of causality it is
just the best possibility until someone comes up
with a better one. Until that time we have to
accept vaccination as the primary suspect.

The list of characteristics and clinical
disorders above strongly support the view that
some or all are basically autoimmune conditions
which are well known and accepted adverse
reactions to most childhood vaccines. This
raises yet another non-scientific question ­ if
we accept that certain autoimmune conditions,
Guillain-Barre syndrome, juvenile arthritis and
type 1 diabetes mellitus for example, are vaccine
related then why do we not accept these other
autoimmune disorders in the same way?

Finally, there are a number of children who,
having suffered some or all of the listed
disorders following a vaccination, undergo a
modest improvement until the administration of a
booster vaccination. Following a short period of
time the child suffers an exacerbation of the
original adverse effects ­ this is called
positive rechallenge. In the absence of any
other explanation the effect has to be accepted as causal.

Having had a child who developed 21 of the 23 symptoms listed after a vaccine reaction, and who recovered from thus with a remedy made from a vaccine, I would agree with a good deal of this. However, it is a bit too overgeneralized for conclusive credence. We can narrow the field but we have to consider other factors. What about disposable diapers and the cellulose acetate which was added around the start of the epidemic? Research scientists use cellulose acetate to create demyelination. What about ultrasound which also increased dramatically at that time and quickly became routine for all pregnancies? Has anyone read the proving for ultrasound? It reads like someone with autism. And what about the increased use of pitocin during delivery and its automatic use post-delivery? What about increased plastics? What about mercury in our food and not just fish but in high fructose corn syrup which is in almost every processed food item either as HFCS or as citric acid? What about HFCS alone which is made using aspergilla and either a human or animal enzyme? What about our food supply being raised eating their own dead and garbage? What about a whole generation or two of people who were raised on artificial food with no breastfeeding. There are so many other things that need to be considered.
Believe me, I have no doubt vaccines are the number one trigger for autism. But I have spoken to several parents who have children who were never vaccinated follow the same path. My own 3rd child was completely unvaxed but started showing suspect symptoms at 18 months which a remedy quickly halted (a vaccine remedy by the way despite never being vaxed because the picture fit). For sure vaccines are the major contributor, but there are other factors at play. While I certainly want vaccines recognized as a trigger, or even a root cause if you consider vaccinated parents, I also do not want the cumulative possibilities overlooked.
I personally think it is its own miasm - previously vaccinated parents having babies creating a genetic predisposition to severe immune reaction to some external adjuvant.
But the article definitely made some solid, undeniable observations.

Good points, Erica. I agree that we can’t point a conclusive finger at vaccines, however suspect, without eliminating other possible causes, and I’m glad that you are familiar with many other possibilities.

Erica, this is what I call a level headed response.

Your points are just too serious to be ignored. But, what intrigued me
is that the recovery after the antidoting by the potentized vaccine.
But is not the vaccinosis cry over a century old ? May be what we see is
the mutated , ugly face of vaccinosis.

excellent thoughts adding to this..............I too have wondered about the ultrasound issues especially
And I have another contact who has looked extensively into the disposable diaper dangers.

And I too think it is the time of the tipping point for the same reasons you have postulated - 2nd, 3rd generation of heavily vaccinated

May I share this with Isabella?

while we all agree that vaccines are dangerous, on the whole homeopaths are a bit unscientific in the way they blame them for all sorts of ills. It was an eye opener to me when I started getting so many referals of eczema patients after writing my eczema book 10 years ago that a lot of the unvaccinated children developed eczema and or asthma around the time they would have been vaccinated. If vaccinated, the assumption by most homeopaths would almost certainly have been that the vaccines were a factor.

[Elizabeth Brandegee]

These are exactly what I have been teaching about Erika, so happy you stated many. Also, artificial sweeteners, soy, chemtrails the that last 12+ years, electromagnetic/cell phone & tower affects, emotional imbalances in their environment and more. I've seen similar cases without vaccination, which either responded to a toxic metal remedy or one of not being in the body.
A few of us are trying to get people initially considering having children to detoxify themselves prior to conception. That includes of course the mental, emotional, spiritual stuff that has also reached the tipping point of storage/toxicity/suppression, leaving a very short fuse overall to a new life. At least with that advantage, along with knowledge of all those toxic bombs and living with homeopathy and other things to maintain a clear body and energy field it can turn this trend around.

Thanks for saying it, Robin.

What I think we miss in our own literature is that there are certain constitutions that tend to be aggravated by vaccination. Homeopaths who blame vaccination for every physical ailment under the sun risk missing important remedies when they narrow their remedy search so drastically.

Vaccination is not a good practice, but it's not the source of every health problem in every child.
