While I do believe Monsanto is evil, the more likely causes of autism, adhd, and cancer are not chemicals.

Autism: Vitamin D deficiency in the mother during critical fetal development.

ADHD and other mental disorders: Fatty acid imbalance
http://www.fi.edu/learn/brain/fats.html

Cancer: A diet high in sugars, starches and other carbohydrates

(a lack of vitamin D plays a big role too)

So it isn't necessarily what we spray on the food, but the food itself that is the problem. Of course, that food is grown by Monsanto...

I personally think its a combination of things, vaccinations being a large part of it all. Its the silent sneaky one, parents will run off to get their kids vaccinated and then stop at the store to pick up something organic for lunch!
All these things, lumped in together are what is creating ADD, ADHD, autism etc..

Yeah, y'know it's like the old Batman movie-it wasn't the deodorant or the hairspray that killed people but if they used the hairspray, deodorant AND brushed their teeth they were goners.

The vaccine connection doesn't hold up. I know a lot of people have their hopes pinned on blaming vaccines for their kid's autism, but I don't believe it. The ingredient they blame is thymerisol. That is not used in most vaccines anymore. Has there been a big drop in autism recently? Nope.

If you study the "Swedish Disease" outbreaks amoung Samali immigrants, the vitamin D connection becomes very clear.

Of course, it is the government telling us to stay out of the sun. Same morons, different problem.

Thimerasol is still in some vaccines, the flu one comes to mind. Other than that they have stuff like formaldahyde and alluminum in those things, I skip em all - there is no common sense in injecting any of that into a healthy body.

It just doesn't make sense to inject poison and toxins into a healthy body to make it more healthy ? cracks me up really!

I do believe as a whole, we're all short on Vit D, I think the with all the processed food and junk, we're lucky people aren't dropping like flies! (well not yet anyway)

There's no common sense in injecting those poisons into a not-yet matured immune system, either. I don't think you can discount the difference in the vaccination schedules now vs. what we used to do in the 50's and 60's. I can't believe how many shots those little bodies are subjected to now.

I also don't think there's one cure-all (vitamin D3 is the latest and greatest) that'll fix our ills. Our whole food supply is disconnected from the earth, the same way so many think humans are somehow above nature - we are one with the planet, Chief Seattle had it right, what we do to the web of life we do to ourselves.

I completely agree! I'm horrified to remember that my son was injected with the Hep B vaccine the first day of his life.

We are all so interconnected. That's one reason I think it is hard to track it all back to 1 organism, 1 chemical. What a complex web it all is!

We just have to do our best, and I think all of us here do try!

I agree, but I didn't know that we have gradually stepped up how early we innoculate. Interesting. I absolutely agree about Chief Seattle's take on things too.

While I know not everyone has the same belief system as I, I always find it all inspiring to look at the bigger picture.

While the human race is a highly intelligent species and highly intuitive(when it wants to be), everything we 'make' or has 'artificial' attached to it, turns out(sooner or later) to be bad for us in one way or another. I'm about tired of people viewing change as progress, they aren't the same. No, this isn't a new concept, it happens not only in the present but in the past; also not just with people but with animals. For example, the pasteurization of milk, it comes about and saves lives because people were drinking milk that was ill handled and from sick cows. So instead of riding the farmers and other componants in the handling of milk to do a better job, they come out with the end all be all process of making raw milk 'safe'. Where, raw milk actually appears to be better for people than pasteurized, but pasteurized was the 'new' thing to make milk 'better'.

Artificial sweeteners! *shudders* Are a known carcinagen, heaven help if we're overweight, but cancer is okay. Aspartame caused cancer in lab rats, but since it was never used on human 'test' subjects, it was deemed safe.. Um... What's the point of lab rats again? And although "splenda" hasn't caused cancer because it hasn't been intensively tested, the tests that have been performed, it acted right along the lines of aspartame.

So, it seems that anything that 'people' have improved or made 'artificial' has shown itself to be harmful for us. Organic is the way to go.

As far as vaccinations, unfortunately the career path I want, required I have certain and specific vaccinations.

I am not anti-vaccination at all, I'm against the stepped up schedule we're using to inoculate our children, I think it's harming their brains but turning their own immune system on themselves. The difference between what they do now vs. what was done when my boys were young (25 and 29 years ago) is amazing to me. Their schedule was very similar to what was done to me, back in the 50's. It's since then that they've really gone crazy with the shots, from about 1985 onwards.
