hmm... i actually stumbled upon this information but had heard something on the TODAY show the other morning as well, although each is pointing to possible different causes for the outcome of more autoimmune diseases in young people these days and autism.
the article i am going to point you to is actually by jenny mccarthy and jim carrey whose son is autistic ... or a recovered autistic. they believe that children today are sent to the doctor for too many vaccinations before the age of two.
in 1983 there were only 10 vaccinations for a child before age two. now there are 36.hey, i lived through only 10 vaccinations and turned out fine. granted, i had the chicken pox but it was like a rite-of-passage. hell, i didn't even know they had a vaccine for it! what people are starting to point out is that as a result of so many vaccinations so early we've seen a dramatic increase in things like autoimmune disorders, neurological disorders like autism.
jenny mccarthy changed her son's diet, decreased metal exposure (some vaccinations actually contain traces of mercury) and other things and her son is now "recovered" from autism. coincidence of misdiagnosis?
to me, there's no surprise that drug companies are one of the only industries that are rarely affected by the economy. push more "required vaccinations" into law and their profits soar.
the other thing i saw was on the TODAY show which discussed that americans are "too clean." we disinfect everything. there's actually a link that if children grow up in too clean of a household they are also prone to more autoimmune disorders, allergies, etc. the philosophy with that is simply our immune systems are "bored" and start to turn against the body. they have nothing to fight - like the flu virus on that table your son just licked or the chicken pox virus because you already have a decent immunity to it - so it starts turning on you.
anyway, read the article and let me know what you think. especially if you have kids or are educated on this!
oh, and if you've never read Belly Laughs by jenny mccarthy i'd highly recommend it! stacey and have been reading it off and on.

Wow, I have never heard that children are given 36 vaccinations before two years of age. That is crazy. I am sure it is another way for the doctors and drug companies to make money and raise our health insurance costs at the expense of our chidlren. Brad & Stacey research this some more but I cannot see how 5 vaccines at the one time can be good for a baby.
