From the day of birth an infant is exposed to either contaminated breast milk or synthetic powdered formula.  Then, they are bundled up in synthetic fibers and laid on a toxic mattress.  Before they are two weeks old they are injected with vaccines.  Let's not forget the plastic bottles that feed them their formula or pumped breast milk.  Oh and then we jam a plastic pacifier in their mouth before they are even able to smile.  Don't even think about letting precious newborn skin be exposed to sunlight!  Make sure you get those fluoride drops as soon as those little teeth appear....let's stop the insanity now!  I believe all of the above have something to do with rampant autism rates.

The "Combating Autism Act of 2007" is spurring so many different theories that it is making my head spin. A lot of money is available for research into possible causes of autism... and this is a good thing. I am all for research as I believe there is more than one cause, and yes, I believe there MAY be a genetic predisposition to autism. We need to be able to identify who is at risk to environmental triggers.  
 I would not dispute the fact that a vitamin D deficiency could be a factor in some cases of ASD. However, I was afraid that the avenues of research would be led away from the mercury/vaccine connection, and that is exactly what is happening. We have "too much TV"..."old dads"... "cell phones" and "electrical currants" that are being fingered as possible culprits. I'm not saying that this is impossible. Go ahead and do studies...we need answers, but lets not overlook the obvious... environmental toxins: vaccines, food additives, contaminated air and water, chemical wastes, etc. Special interest groups fought hard to keep the CDC out of controlling where the research money goes. But somehow, most of it seems to be routed everywhere but the obvious.
Again, I would never dispute the Vitamin D connection, but not in my grandson's case. My daughter spent a lot of time in the sun during her pregnancies. My grandson is blond, blue eyed and fair skinned. He plays outside even in the winter. He always turns a little pink at the beginning of summer and gradually turns to a healthy tan. He uses a natural sunscreen only when he is in the sun for prolonged periods. If he is lacking vitamin D, it's because something is obstructing his ability to absorb it. But in HIS case, I am convinced that a flu shot was his toxic tipping point!
