Finding strength in numbers Parents of autistic children are working together to build a database. By RENEE FITEPress Special Writer There are traces of mercury in high fructose corn syrup, which is in everything, he noted.
Donna Harris said mercury passed on to the fetus, and is in vaccinations passed directly into patients. “In Maine, a coalition of environmental and health activists helped get a law passed requiring Maine dentists to provide patients with information warning them of the hazards of mercury and mercury amalgam fillings,” Harris said. “Maybe we can find some information from their research to help with our own.” Autism is four times more likely to afflict boys more than girls. The Howard’s have three boys, one with autism. “We watched Nick change in a 48-hour period after vaccinations,” he said. “They didn’t cause it (autism) but triggered it.” While hospitalized with a fever, the Howard’s said, “the doctor still gave him nine more shots.” Nick had 30 shots by the age of 18 months. “I’m 42, and I had about six shots,” he said. When you trigger an overload of toxins, such as with vaccinations, the immune system is overwhelmed, he added. Controls over our own pharmaceutical imports could also be better, Howard said. “The Center for Disease Control inspects overseas plants about one or two times a year, but they give them several weeks notice and stay for a day or two,” he said. Mercury-free flu shots are now being made, he said. Why use the mercury? Carla Howard, a dental assistant, said it is a stabilizer.
