Autism in children has risen to a massive 1 in every 100 in the USA. These are the figures reported in the Huffington Post by David Kirby just a short time ago. That is a staggering 1% of all USA children. It is not only the USA that has reported an escalation in the figures in Autism, so to does the UK. Cambridge University shows an even greater prevalence in their study proving that as many as 1 in 38 British Boys are Autistic. Child Health Safety – Autism Rates Rocket – 1 in 38 British Boys – Cambridge University.
This is very different when compared to unvaccinated children. A study showed that vaccinated children had 155% more chance of having ADHD or Autism compared to unvaccinated children.Vaccinated vs Unvaccinated Survey
It seems that as more and more vaccinations enter the vaccine schedule, the figures of Autism keep on rising. Coincidence? I suppose it is possible, however, it is not only the figures of Autism that are on the rise.
Figures are also showing an alarming increase in the following conditions among children and adults:
- ADHD
A staggering 1 to 3 children in every classroom of 30 are reported to have ADHD by ADD by the numbers - a summary of the research of Russell Barkley,Ph.D
In 2004 the CDC reported that 4.5 million children in USA between 3 and 17 years old had ADHD. Pharma Save website reported Even more interestingly ADHD – Report.com report that in 1985 500,000 children in the USA had ADHD compared to 5 – 7 million today. They report the following for Australia.
- Asthma
16.1 million adults have asthma and 6.7 million children in the USA suffer from asthma. CDC Fast stats report
UK reports show that 10% of all children and 8% of adults suffer from asthma in the UK.
In fact the figures worldwide are rising with approximately 300 million worldwide asthma sufferers. Worldwide Asthma.

In the USA about 1 in every 200,000 high school or college athletes, die suddenly, the vast majority without any prior symptoms. In Australia things are no different because there about 20 to 30 under the age of 35 die each year in the Sydney metropolitan area many of which die of causes which are often cardiac-related, however, there are also situations where they die suddenly without any apparent cause. This was reported by Dr Chris Semsarian, a cardiologist of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney Sydney Networked Knowledged Report .

The above statistics are frightening, these, along with the rising statistics of learning difficulties, brain disorders, speech and language delays, paralysis, polio like conditions, kidney disease, childhood leukemia and mental health problems. This is clearly showing a steady increase of illness worldwide. Sadly this also shows us that without a doubt Autism is only the tip of a very large iceberg.
As worldwide health declines at an alarming rate, it gives more power to the pharmaceutical industries that feed us because they can reel us in with their ready made solutions to our ever increasing health problems. Of course this suits the them no end, where these illnesses and conditions are a nightmare in the lives of the families affected, they are a dream come true for the vaccine industry. What is more profitable for them than schools full of unhealthy children? What suits them better than a room full of children with ADHD and Autism? What is more profitable than a doctor's waiting room and hospitals crammed to breaking point with sick and dying people? When doctors are prescribing powerful drugs such as Ritalin and Prozac to the under 5s it is easy to see why. This steady flow of worldwide destruction to our health, insures the future of every vaccine representative and every single person working in the pharmaceutical industry for many years to come, the earlier they can catch these children and peddle their wares, the bigger the profit. Drug companies cannot exist on healthy people now can they?
It stands to reason that if you inject a vaccine into a human, with the syringe full of thimerosal, squalene, aluminium, African Green monkey kidney cells, dog DNA, hamster cells and cells from human aborted foetus's, (all ingredients currently used in vaccines today), it is very likely that their body will reject the foreign material, in the same it rejects transplant organs. A body's immune system naturally defends itself against foreign substances and protects us from the potentially harmful affects. These harmful substances i.e. micro-organisms, toxins, cancer cells and foreign DNA all have proteins called antigens on their surfaces. If a persons immune system identifies antigens that are foreign (not part of our body), it will attack them. If DNA from an animal and chemicals are injected, our bodies natural defence system will kick in causing it to react.
In the same way, foreign blood or tissue can trigger a 'blood transfusion reaction'. This is a serious reaction after a transfusion of foreign blood, which causes the body to reject it. To help prevent this type of reaction, tissue is 'typed' before the transplant procedure, to identify the antigens it contains. Obviously this is not done before a vaccine. With babies some even premature being force fed this poison, is it any wonder why their little systems cannot cope?
Professionals from around the world are extremely concerned about what the increasing numbers of vaccines are doing to our children today.
- Dr Harold Burttram wrote this. Current childhood vaccine programs An overview with emphasis on the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine and of its compromising of the mucosal immune system
“Both common observation and official statistics confirm that there have been dramatic increases in chronic physical and mental illnesses in American children, such as autism, asthma, and allergies since the introduction of the MMR vaccine in 1978. Government health officials have denied a relationship with vaccines, but U.S. Congressional hearings on vaccine safety (1999 to Dec. 2004) revealed a total absence of vaccine safety tests that would meet current scientific standards, so that it can be assumed that many vaccine reactions are taking place unrecognized.”
- Psychologist Lisa Blakemore-Brown wrote this Vaccines And Autism - Thank You Bob Wright
“I spoke of my concerns about why families had to fight desperately for years even to get a diagnosis; my concerns about how difficult it was to obtain the appropriate early intensive educational support, speech therapy etc; concerns about families struggling hour in hour out with autistic children who truly are also ill and in pain and many who say this began after vaccines, yet they are turned away for treatment that might help, them and their efforts vilified or mocked; concerns about the needs of adults who struggle to be understood in the “normal” world, and in the workplace, and want to be able to speak for themselves – many of whom were at the debate.”
- Professor Gordon T Stewart has been speaking of the dangers of vaccines from as far back as the 1970's and has written paper after paper and letter after letter on the subject. He wrote this in one such letter -
“There is no proof anywhere that the vaccines used (DTP/Hib/Polio) cause death but the pertussis component was the whole cell preparation are known to be associated with apnoea, shock, encephalopathy, and very occasionally with deaths, which led Sir Graham Wilson, former and first Director of the PHLS, to say in his book on Hazards of Immunization that life-spoiling and threatening reactions, especially after pertussis vaccine and in the context of incomplete or non -protection were too frequent to justify mass vaccination. These features, widely-recognized internationally, led some countries in the 1960’s and others later to omit pertussis from childhood programmes and to replacement of the whole-cell vaccine with an acellular replacement. In the UK, this did not happen until 2006. It should be noted also that the three main manufacturers of pertussis vaccine in the UK and 10/13 in the USA withdrew their products between 1978 and 1986. These facts are important because vaccination is compulsory in most States of the USA and some in the EC. This removes the safeguard of parental option, respect for contraindications and medical discretion.”
- Viera Scheibner, PhD wrote:
"Many infants who suffer the so-called 'shaken baby syndrome' may be victims of undiagnosed vaccine damage. Ever since mass vaccination of infants began, reports of serious brain, cardiovascular, metabolic and other injuries started filling pages of medical journals.
Just one of the ingredients used in vaccines today, for example 'thimerosal' can have devastating effects on the immune system. Imagine the effect of many of these ingredients all at once especially when giving a two month old a five in one vaccine.
- Dr Sherri Tenpenny shows examples of the effects such vaccine ingredients used today can have on an infant in her paper Reasons to say no to vaccines:
“Gelatin, one of many ingredients in vaccines, is known to cause allergies and asthma. Allergies are now the most frequently reported chronic condition in children, limiting activities in four out of 10 children. Asthma, the second most common chronic childhood disease, affects more than one child in 20. The combined healthcare costs of asthma and allergies have soared to more than $25 billion/year.[3] Vaccines that contain gelatin include chickenpox, MMR, Boostrix (teen pertussis booster), Tripedia (DTaP) and the adult shingles vaccine, Zostrix. Vaccine gelatin may be contributing substantially to the skyrocketing incidence of, and expenditures on, asthma and allergies.
Another vaccine additive, formaldehyde, can interrupt the normal function of the immune system. A colorless, pungent-smelling gas, formaldehyde can cause watery eyes, burning sensations in the eyes and throat, nausea, difficulty in breathing and asthma attacks when exposed to amounts as small as 0.1 parts per million. It is listed as a hazardous chemical on eight federal regulatory lists and considered to be one of the ten worst compounds on the ecosystem and health. Between 10 and 20 percent of general population has a reaction coming in contact with formaldehyde. Topical exposure can cause a mild reaction, such as dry skin and redness. The California Indoor Air Quality Fact Sheet states there is no known threshold level below which cancer risk does not exist.[4] The World Health Association (WHO) recommends that an exposure should not exceed 0.05 ppm or 0.05 mg/kg. So, for 12 pound baby (about 5kg), the maximum exposure should be below 0.25 mg. But with the current schedule, children receive more than ten times that amount, more than 3.5 mg, if they receive every mandated vaccine. Vaccines that contain formaldehyde include DTaP, polio, influenza, hepatitis A and hepatitis B.”
Another example is thimerosal. It is often spoken about and it's use criticized by professionals worldwide. Many say that the use of thimerosal in vaccine is one of key reasons that Autism is on the rise today.
- In the paper A Link between Thimerosal Vaccines and Autism this is discussed. The article describes a detailed study, which has been published in March 2008 in the Journal of Neurological Sciences, which examined birth cohorts between 1990 and 1996 for diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders and thimerosal exposure via recorded vaccines.
In the study 'Thimerosal exposure in infants and neurodevelopmental disorders: An assessment of computerized medical records in the Vaccine Safety Data link' written by Heather A Young, David A. Geier and Mark E Geier, compared large groups of children, from seven different birth years, with varying mercury exposures. When comparing exposure differences of 100 micrograms of mercury, the study found the prevalence rates of autism, autism spectrum disorders and a variety of different neurological disorders had increased by 1.7 to 4.5 times. This was a huge discovery and goes some way to explaining how exposure to mercury through vaccines can damage young developing brains.
Now imagine the effects of the any one of these ingredients and then add to it a mixture of other equally dangerous chemicals such as squalene, borax, aluminium, foreign DNA and virus's, then inject this into a young child who has a developing immune system and it is easy to see why their little bodies react.
You cannot vaccinate a child from every illness known to man. To keep a child healthy with a healthy immune system then vaccinating them with poisonous chemicals and highly toxic substances is not the answer. You must boost their immune systems with a good balanced diet. This is a perfect natural defence to illness. Dr Mercola says this:
Vaccines and Immune Suppression
"Science has glossed over the most valuable point of health, ... nutrition. What is it that boosts our immune system and gives one a vibrant healthy life? ... Nutrition. What is it that allows one to overcome the most devastating diseases known to mankind? ... Nutrition. What is the key factor for the recovery of disease? ... Nutrition. What is needed for the body to heal itself? ... Nutrition. What key factor prevents disease? ... Nutrition. What is missing from allopathic medicine today? ... Nutrition! It is nutrition and only nutrition which boosts our immune system and helps the body defend itself from foreign pathogens. Herbs, foods, nutrients and vitamin supplements are the tour-de-force of our immunity and it is virtually ignored by medical science in favour of drugs (chemicals).
One can speculate many reasons why medical science has chosen to ignore this most important aspect of our health ... perhaps, because there is no profit in broccoli and carrots. But regardless of profit there is a side of science that altruistically searches for truth. Herbalists and naturopaths for centuries have cured devastating diseases with nature's remedies and proper diet. Medicine has shunned diet and nutrition (and herbs) as not having a place in scientific medicine. But the lowly herb can cure more than an equal share of allopathic man-made (synthetic) drugs which although originally came from many herbs are now toxic according to their dose and must be tightly regulated."
If we carry on the way we are, our children will continue to get sick and the pharmaceutical industries will get richer on the back of their misery. All we really need to do to keep our children healthy is give them a good healthy balanced diet and let nature do the rest.
