		<description>Jeeves, you&#039;re comparing table salt to the organic mercury in thimerosal... the most toxic form of one of the most toxic heavy metals proven to kill living cells in nanomolar concentrations???  That&#039;s insanity.

		<description>Don&#039;t all parents want their children to be &quot;normal&quot; physically and mentally?  I find it hard to believe that a parent will EVER be able to except the fact that their child has Autism or any mental dibilitating disease.  This is not waging war on the child because you love the child unconditionally; instead it&#039;s a parent who knows that their child is stuck in mental pergatory and the parent feels helpless because they have no way of getting them out.  My sweet cousin Cameron just turned 17, and we all know that in his mind he would love to interact with us.  HE JUST CAN&#039;T MAKE IT HAPPEN.  I love him, always have and I always will, and I will ALWAYS pray that the day comes for his healing.  If Jenny wants to tell the world about her miracle I will listen.  Why not give it a try.  Sounds like some of you are pissed because she is a celebrity and her son is recovering, while your children remain the same.</description>

		<description>Why do you all state that vaccines don&#039;t cause autism? Because the FDA and other companies who stand to loose billions of dollars say there is no link between autism and vaccines? THATS your proof?! My proof is having a child and knowing others that have children with autism who were completely normal, functioning children of their age range; taking them to be vaccinated then subsequently watching their children regress to speachless and tantruming autistic children. You can quote all the research you want but the bottom line is this: I am not trying to make money on this and neither are the people who have watched first hand as the disorder stold their childs mind and live away within hours. The drug research companies stand to make money at every turn regarding the research and development of treatment of children with autism. That&#039;s all the &quot;evidence&quot; I need to tell me that WE ARE ALL BEING LIED TO! Let&#039;s ask this question: If the treatment of autism means not medications, but a simple diet changes, where is their profit then? You go on believing people who want to make money exploiting your trust if you want to. I will believe my experience and the experience of others who have seen first hand the damages vaccines can do to peoples lives and families.</description>

		<description>Jennifer B--you said it brilliantly. I have been thinking about the motivation of these parents for a long time. They need someone to blame and something to fix. It is impossible for them to look at disability and see anything worth honouring. I agree with you about waging war on the child. How can you use words like crushing, eradication, victim, pain, tragedy, wasted life, etc., without devaluing that person&#039;s life? This is not to suggest that this is always the easiest condition for the person to live with or easy for family members. But when it comes down to it, I basically side with the neurodiversity camp.</description>
