These statistical studies may or may not imply causation.

Let’s postulate that obesity is a marker for lower-class women. There might be many other factors in lower-class households that would also leave to autism. Poor nutrition, excess TV watching, lack of parental attention, etc.

This isn’t going to be well received.

Much of the recent “autism” is a welfare scam designed to circumvent the five year welfare limit and the end of “cash-for-kids” (by which additional children translate into additional cash). Autism itself is a very real illness; the “autism spectrum” BS is riddled with fraud. I’ve been around children with the alledged condition, and they act like any “only child” who has parents who won’t discipline them. They are very “normal”, and I suspect their parents are fraudsters.

When I heard on the radio that nearly 1 in 50 boys born today has “autism, or is on the autism spectrum” I knew I was vindicated in my skepticism.

A ratio of 1.5 to one doesn’t begin to explain whatever has been going on with autism over the past half century or so, autism existed in 1960 but it was hellishly rare.

Remember the days when autism was blamed on the "refrigerator mother"?

Now they're blaming "mother too often in the refrigerator"

Plus ca change....

Once again I’m trying to let people know that most cases of autism are actually lyme disease. Lyme can be passed down from mother to baby. And guess what a big symptom of lyme is.......weight gain!!

So to the scientists, maybe the same bacteria that causes weight gain in the mother also causes the autism symptoms in the baby.

I don’t understand why all the new research showing 90% of kids with autism tested postive with the lyme bacteria isn’t being given wide publicity.

Many children’s symptoms improved dramatically after starting antibiotics. Lyme disease and autism have the same symptoms.

I call false.

Both moms I know with autistic children are fit thin and one is a lawyer married to a doctor. I think this article is designed to blame the parents as being fat and stupid for autism.

This is not right.

I have a severely autistic son. He is now 23 years old. I was very trim person when I got pregnant but did have gestational diabetes with him. I am not normally diabetic. I lost all my weight very fast. I had gestational diabetes with our second son and he is fine as can be. Autism is very real. There is a HUGE difference than Autism and having a child that falls in the “autism spectrum syndrome”. I wish some of the parents would count their lucky stars and just be happy with their child. My son is lovely but so much is lost because he barely speaks.

(First do not smoke; nor do I have any children; family who suffer from autism. . .and none; including myself; are obese.)

And NOT to say as well; that none of the aforementioned never play a role in disease! Just saying; Government in 'overkill'/ and overdrive when it comes to ascribing blame for every ill and/or challenge we face; while the Government itself; plays the role of the guiltless, 'good parent'.

So it goes; our Gov spreading guilt like soft peanut butter on bread and only they are allowed to eat without 'conscience' interfering. And they cannot bring up enough 'examples' to bring their agenda home.

*******************

Suggest; as often do; checking out/reading the book; Dr. Mary's Monkey. Or just google SV 40 or 'Simeon Virus 40.

****************

A 'read' that brings home; that we have both 'right and reason' to be suspicious of our Government; as it explains the rise of cancer stats and other neuro-degenerative diseases notably; per younger population being susceptible.

Certainly gives 'reason' for all parents to be mindful of vaccines; their delivery by age; the number of 'combinations'; and their content. ************************

The book explains the desire in early sixty's (and no doubt beyond) for an assassination plan against Castro - by fast acting cancer; which by turn; becomes the nexus of book and whereby, a number of interests, come into critical play. (Hence, Chavez's accusation that his cancer an attempt on his life by CIA. And why, for that matter Jack Ruby (took life of Lee Harvey Oswald; post Kennedy assasination)imagined same; including up until his death - by fast acting cancer).
