Abstract

Thimerosal added to some pediatric vaccines is suspected in pathogenesis of several neurodevelopmental disorders. Our previous study showed that thimerosal administered to suckling rats causes persistent, endogenous opioid-mediated hypoalgesia. Here we examined, using immunohistochemical staining technique, the density of mu-opioid receptors (MORs) in the brains of rats, which in the second postnatal week received four i.m. injections of thimerosal at doses 12, 240, 1,440 or 3,000 mug Hg/kg. The periaqueductal gray, caudate putamen and hippocampus were examined. Thimerosal administration caused dose-dependent statistically significant increase in MOR densities in the periaqueductal gray and caudate putamen, but decrease in the dentate gyrus, where it was accompanied by the presence of degenerating neurons and loss of synaptic vesicle marker (synaptophysin). These data document that exposure to thimerosal during early postnatal life produces lasting alterations in the densities of brain opioid receptors along with other neuropathological changes, which may disturb brain development.

Preventing Autism Before and During Pregnancy

This process of the public recognizing and accepting that autism is preventable and treatable is moving much more slowly than it should have (It should have made the front page of the NYT just after the turn of the century and that should have been it), but it is moving, the paradigm has shifted, and things are not going back to the way they were.

Try as they might, the hypervaccinators, Pharma shills and government ass coverers have not been able to keep the public, and growing sections of the medical community, from understanding that the autism epidemic is indeed an epidemic and is the result of the toxic avalanche coming down on our little ones from before conception until they get their last, brain inflaming doses of untested and under-tested vaccines.

This month we saw the Senate finally hear that autism is an environmental illness, in which mercury is implicated (despite the best spinning that the best PR spinners have tried). This year we saw the country walk away from THE biggest scare campaign to dose the country with mercury toxic vaccines in my lifetime.

People get that vaccines are a serious risk and are taking action to mitigate that risk.

This news piece is just another example of the fact that mainstream medicine and media gets it, and while they cant' yet say the V word, using the mercury word is surely code for vaccines, so they might as well.



In my mind, the announcement of the Poling concession was D day, and we are now in the march across Europe. But this war will end as people come to see what Pharma and Govt have done, and how they have lied to the public, and as they retire, those who come in behind them, who do not have blood on their hands and can admit that things have gone way over the line, will pull back.

We will likely never get our apology, but as we see in this story, and in the Senate last month, they know. And they are making changes.

If the autism story ends like the thalidomide story, I will die a happy woman.

Aquaholics Surf Shop in Kennebunk, Maine Loves Special Needs Kids!

Wow what a great day we had yesterday!

Nanci Grenier Boutet owns the Aquaholics Surf Shop in Kennebunk, Maine and has a heart for our kids. So three times in the Summer, the third Tuesday of June, July and August, she gives a big shout out to all the local surfers to come to Kennebunk Beach and take our special little ones surfing on their Special Surfer Night.

We went yesterday for the first time, Chandler surfed until he was a Popsicle, and loved every minute of it. Tommy, Chandler's cutie pie surfing coach, comes down from his home in Quebec to vacation in Maine with his family in August, and he takes part in the event while they are here. Chan had a great time with Tommy and learned how to say, "Merci, Tommy" at the end of the day.

Here are the best shots from yesterday. It was so wonderful to see all our little guys loving the time they were having in the water, their dad's being able to do real father son sports bonding stuff that happens so rarely with our kids and, of course, to have a nice zone of love around our kids where they could be their weird, loud, difficult, haphazard selves with out a judgmental look or nasty comment as far as they eye could see.

Thanks so much to Nanci for doing this and thanks so much to all the loving, supporting, understanding surfers who made our kids day! All my pictures from the day will be posted here, and anyone connected with the event has my permission to download and use them in any way they like (as long as it is respectful to those in the images, of course). If anyone connected with the event would like hi res images, contact me at mail@adventuresinautism.com

These are the best pics of the day. Fog rolled in at the end, so those are not as clear, but as you can see... a good time was had by all.

My Webster

Chandler having a ball in his wet suit

Sensory issues in full effect, but didn't end up standing in anyone's way

For this little guy, getting his wet suit on was the hardest part, but dad got him through it.

Nick meets his teacher, Josh Wilbur

The instruction begins

Pam preps Scotty for the water

Loucas learning how to pup up

Some took things slow and easy

Some were a little bolder

But they were all loving it

Don't miss the guy in the back

Nanci introduces Chandler to Thomas Duplessis who taught him.  Chan was so eager to get in the water that daddy never got the chance to change into his swim suit.

Happy guy

Chan's first big ride

Loucas and Chandler decide they are ready for the big waves

Loucas totally rocks on the surfboard

This guy was great.  He got up several times and clearly is on his way to really surfing

Picture of the day!  Don't know who is happier, Stephen for surfing so well, or his friend when he sees Stephen!

This little girl was so precious.  Every time I saw her, just huge grins while being out on the water.  It was infectious.

As the fog was rolling in, I ran down to the end of the beach to catch these two.  Biggest shredders of the day.

I think that this might be my favorite.  Levi Wiley, God bless him, is working his butt off to make Zeke happy, and that joyful face is the big pay off.

Thank you for being there for our kids.
