C, I don’t know what to say——it’s a privilege for me to be able to share our adventures with Charlie with so many. Knowing that one is not walking on the long road along makes all the difference.

Heidi, Echoing C here—-none of this was any of our faults—not that I don’t think we can or should ever stop looking for answers!

Heidi, this was not your fault. Even if you had “done your homework” your conclusions at the time could have been very similar to my own. And this brings up something so insidious about the entire vaccine/mercury crusade – it makes one feel like crap. Which is why I read Kristina’s blogs – I feel hopeful and empowered to help my child when I read about her adventures with Charlie.

C,
Thank you for your kind thoughts and wish for my son.
And yes so vaccines do wonderful things and you are intitled to your opion as well as myself.
All i know is that my child did withdrawl in a way even indecribable.
But what i can tell you rather there is a weak gene to make the shot to have more effect or the shot itself, that is truely my belief.
To tell you the truth i do not feel we will ever not the truth there is to much at state. Lawsuits
injurys and all they need to be informed which was all my fault i did not do my homework. I trusted.

Dr Buie in several conferences presentations have shown evidences of the effects of GERD in self-injurious behavior in autism.

Hi Momma Steph
For me it makes sense; However, we need a lot of research to proof it as not only plausible but probable, even when there are clues about it
(anecdotical and from published evidence).
