So I don't think the 'truth' is being 'covered up' by anyone. <br /><br />I have no doubt that there may some autistic people who also have mercury or lead poisoning, but I don't believe that autism and metal toxicity are synonymous. <br /> <br />At (very) least Cutler advises oral instead of IV chelation, and doesn't believe in challenge tests so that's a (very) small plus in his favor.sophienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20954432.post-12200260726743815742009-12-05T10:25:14.418-05:002009-12-05T10:25:14.418-05:00Sophie,

If they told everyone about Dr Cutler, that knowledge be become common knowledge, something they and you don't want.<br /><br />You can find mercury from many sources. <br /><br />I'm rigid about mercury as the only cause of autism because it's the truth. Nobody has ever shown that anything else causes autism. Nobody has ever shown that anything else besides chelation can cure it.<br /><br />Treatments that merely help some higher functioning people are not cures for mercury poisoning. The people who make their living providing those bogus treatments don't want to see their income vanish by curing these kids. They're just as dishonest as the politicians who are bribed to allow the poisoning of children to continue.John Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133970669787632440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20954432.post-77882681492325200432009-12-05T01:48:45.692-05:002009-12-05T01:48:45.692-05:00"Andy Cutler is the most knowledgeable person..."Andy Cutler is the most knowledgeable person on the planet when it comes to curing autism"<br />--------------------<br />You have GOT to be kidding, yet knowing what I know about you, I know you are not. I suppose it's all a big cover up that he isn't winning some kind of Nobel Prize for "curing autism"? <br /><br /> You'd think SOME one anywhere would nominate him for that, or perhaps mention him in a mainstream paper or two, or at very least he'd be a household name, maybe on a plaque or calendar or something. <br />Yet, nothing. Most people have never heard of him. Certainly not as the 'most knowledgeable person on the planet when it comes to curing autism'<br /><br />I get that you like the thimerosal causal idea, and ALA to fix it all. What if someone is autistic without being exposed to thimerosal?<br /> Like you knew Sam was autistic very early, I knew my son was too. I expected it and if you remember correctly, I'm almost as smart as you. It's not that hard to figure out. <br />Autistic, Before any thimerosal.. <br /><br /> So Why be so rigid about this? Can't you imagine some other causes? Other helpful treatments? Just thimerosal, and Andy Cutler? That's it?<br /><br /> I don't think you are a complete fool, John, but it's foolish to ignore any other causes of autism, and other types of proven -to- help treatments.

I have also never seen an article about APO proteins on there that you have brought up. That and they are so all-over-the-place that it does make you wonder. I did have my child's ABA therapist's supervisor admit to me that he has seen chelation help kids before the other day. So why is this not brought up on AoA?<br /><br />I have often thought that there has to be some kind of common thread in all these kids. <br /><br />I don't know that all parents of autistic children are being morons, I just think some of them might be so shellshocked that they have lost their critical thinking skills to be able to sort out the bullshit on both sides.<br /><br />I hope that makes sense.Watching in Washingtonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20954432.post-59931329345923532632009-11-29T13:08:31.748-05:002009-11-29T13:08:31.748-05:00The link wouldn't print here so I hyperlinked ...The link wouldn't print here so I hyperlinked it on the blogpost.John Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133970669787632440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20954432.post-91461999557547124292009-11-29T13:04:49.562-05:002009-11-29T13:04:49.562-05:00Then Chris Italia wrote a column http://www.spectr...Then Chris Italia wrote a column http://www.spectrumpublications.com/index.php/blogs/an_open_letter_to_anonymous/<br />that was pure bullshit because Spectrum never bothered to check back with me, the original source for the story.

I knew it didn't apply to my son since he was autistic before he got the MMR.<br /><br />I believe that I heard Wakefield state that he never said it causes autism, only that it caused bowel disease. Correct me if I'm wrong.<br /><br />As with all other vaccines before 1931 that never caused autism, I'd tend to put the MMR in the same category. <br /><br />Now, you may want to get into defining what autism is and isn't.

Here we have a mom who has a very severely vaccine damaged child, which is obvious from many of her past posts, and she appears to be pinning her hopes on the fact that "Amanda Baggs has done so wonderfully" so therefore maybe her daughter really will too. What a shame. Is this mom pursuing serious biomedical treaments? She should not be falling for the scam that IS Baggs. Worse than that are the pathetic autism mommies who do nothing in their comments but sugar coat autism and convince her that "love" will see her through. I wonder why not one of them has told this mom what a scam Baggs is. I want to vomit when I see this level if denial. Baggs should rot in hell for her deception and what she is doing to vulnerable children and their parents.<br /><br />-PatheticAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20954432.post-38709707464082736382009-11-28T12:51:46.475-05:002009-11-28T12:51:46.475-05:00Hey John,
