However, the only evidence to support this belief is anecdotal. There is strong epidemiological evidence that refutes links between environmental triggers, in particular thimerosal-containing vaccines, and the onset of autistic symptoms. No scientific data supports the claim that the mercury in the vaccine preservative thiomersal causes autism[8] or its symptoms,[9] and there is no scientific support for chelation therapy as a treatment for autism.[10][11]"<BR/><BR/> This is not helping any autistic children by linking to this nonsense. Chelation is the ONLY treatment that has ever cured an autistic child. All of the other junk your link discusses is an exercise in futility that is left over from before we learned that thimerosal is the leading cause of autism.<BR/><BR/> The people who try to deny this fact are associated with the industry that never tested thimerosal for safety and caused the autism epidemic.<BR/><BR/> Should you listen to parents who have helped their kids with chelation or should you listen to the industry that caused the problem. That's what you should be asking yourself, Mr Goldberg.John Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133970669787632440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28229731.post-6464805361258035252008-02-29T01:30:00.000-05:002008-02-29T01:30:00.000-05:00Michael, I just wanted to drop you a comment here ...Michael, I just wanted to drop you a comment here to tell you how helpful this and many others of your posts have been.
