  The Vaccine-Autism Scare: Panic in the Wrong Place

  Oops, in one paragraph I mention damage caused by mercury.  It should read:
  
  Neural damage found in Autism appears to be identical to damage caused by mercury to the nervous system.

  The Vaccine-Autism Scare: Panic in the Wrong Place

  Let's show some commons sense here.  The world is not all black or all white.
  
  Not every case of Autism is due to mercury from vaccines, and it appears that many cases are related to mercury in vaccines.  There is a lot of research that I have read that supports the connection to mercury.  There are a lot of good research recommendations for people that are interested.
  
  The body is designed to handle various toxins from our environment.  When we overload our body, it becomes more susceptible to toxic overloading.  The weakest part of the body, at the time of that overload, will be the one that suffers the greatest consequence of that overload.
  
  Mercury is not the only toxin overloading our body, and vaccines are not the only source of mercury.  Other medications, pesticides, lead and other toxins are everywhere.  In addition, CFL’s (those “environmentally friendly” light bulbs) use mercury too.  It is suggested that it is the sum of all of these toxic overloads that affects our overall wellness.
  
  There is valid research that shows damage to the nervous system from mercury appears to be identical to damage caused by mercury.  However, they just don’t know yet if it is the only substance that can cause this relationship.  In my research I have discovered reasons why some people might be more susceptible than others, and ways to safely detox the body.
  
  So, let’s be realistic.  Mercury appears to be a major player in Autism, yet it isn’t the only factor leading to Autism.  That makes it difficult to identify as the cause, or even as a possible cause.
  
  I support wellness, not illness.  Common sense would dictate that keeping ourselves well is the greatest insurance against illness.  Our body probably does not need vaccines for many illnesses, and probably a discussion leading to the support of wellness would be more constructive for health issues.

  Can We Survive on Guilt and Diet Sodas?

  Wellness, not illness...
  
  It is sad to see people jaded by an enterprise system that rewards expensive unnatural solutions and cheap non-nutritional foods, while entangling good natural solutions with poor fad substitutes.
  
  For example, the carbonic acid in sodas can dissolve a tooth overnight, eat through an unprotected aluminum can and weaken the protective immune systems of the body.  The fake pleasures of a nutritionally deficient diet soda probably only serve to re-inforce the twisted cycle that is illustrated here.  Why do we even allow diet sodas to be offered as a means to provide pleasure while reducing weight?
  
  Where's the common sense here?
  
  We have the solutions to wellness, if we could only get the right people to think clearly, and educate the people on what it truly means to be healthy...
