I'm for one am not in any way against big business when it's in integrity. I do not value deceit, assault upon people, and manipulation of the laws.
What has happened? Why did doctor's (AMA) not report disability increases back through the reporting system of disease, disabilities etc? In all 50 states? The national average increased by 600% and in some states the increase was 3000% to 5000 % which is considered 'infinity' in medical stats. Curious the apparent' black out of information'. What about the consequences to the affected children, their parents, their future and what will happen to them when their parents are elderly or dead? Who participated in this? Are some gapping holes? Why did the FDA did not report this 'problem' for 6 years across the country ---- it only became 'widely known' when parents registered their children for school. The California Dept. of Education 'blew the whistle' because where were the 600% increase in special needs teachers to come from? The 'criminal part' - assault upon innocent children - and subsequent removing responsibility with the Patriot Act is despicable. Read about Senator Dan Burton's appeal before Members of the U.S. Congress, Committee on Government Reform Hearing on Vaccines as a Risk Factor for Autism. Also class action suits re austic - damaged children out of Houston were quashed by the new laws within the Patriot Act. Are these corporate behaviours abhorrent? Hey dude? What happened? Source: http://www.autismsocietyofberks.org/pages/news.html California has just experienced the largest quarterly increase in the number of new cases of level one autism in it's history. According to DDS, between July 6, 2001, and October 4, 2001, a record number 705 new cases of DSM IV autism entered California's developmental services system. As with all of DDS's autism case growth reporting, the 705 new cases do NOT include other autism spectrum disorders such as PDD, NOS, Asperger's, etc. The 2001 Third Quarter report represents a 54% increase over year prior, and shows that autism accounts for 8 new children entering the system PER DAY. In October 2000 level one autism accounted for 28% of the total number of all new intakes (autism, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, epilepsy, and conditions similar to mental retardation). Now in October 2001 level one autism accounted for 36% of all new intakes. California's numbers are significant because they are one of the few states to actually track, record and report.

Because this was scheduled to be a 30 min segment and has been chopped to 1/4 of that... PBS Houston has film of a 12 year old boy diagnosed with autism - typical resistance behaviours and not interested in learning. After a number of BodyTalk sessions agreeable behaviour and learning to read were of interest to him. What will 'Connections' will finally show by May 7th? There will be a BodyTalk segment on PBS, the Connections show. Dates: Friday, May 7 at 9 p.m. Sunday, May 9 at 5 p.m. The segment will be 5-7 minutes long and will be one of several on the Connections show.

Marshall Dudley wrote: Don't forget that since under the law the drug companies can use anything they want for the palcebo. That means that many now use a placebo that has chemicals or poisons in it to make the condition worse, so that the drug being tested will show up more effective, or even if the drug does nothing, it will still show up as effective when compared to the the placeo.
