Recognized for journalistic excellence, and now reprinted in one 32-page, full-color publication, these articles contain information no parent should be without, including details on the use of the known neurotoxin mercury in flu vaccines, alarming evidence of the possible connection between vaccines and autism, exploration of the rise in chronic disease, stories of parental activism and advocacy on behalf of their vaccine-injured children, and the hopeful example of one child’s recovery from autism.

Encouraging the Natural Family Living Community into Action!

New This Month:

    NAA ACTION ALERT
    Many parents are concerned about ABC's coverage of the autism-mercury issue. If you are unhappy with last night's news package, The National Autism Association encourages you to let them know. During last night's coverage:

    • No Scientist, Researcher or Doctor familiar with the connection between autism and thimerosal was interviewed.
    • Author David Kirby was not interviewed.
    • Lyn Redwood's credentials were not disclosed.
    • ABC's Timothy Johnson gave a one-sided commentary that championed the IOM and CDC all while endorsing the use of thimerosal in vaccines.
    • Johnson ridiculed RFK, yet readily accepted CDC's position on the issue. The CDC said there is no cover-up and Johnson took them at their word without further research.
    • ABC followed this story with a package about high-sugar cereals and how bad it may be for children, yet they favored the use of a bloodstream-bound neurotoxin.

    We suggest that the entire autism and developmental-delay community flood ABC with faxes.

    Do a one-page letter about your child's mercury poisoning symptoms, the regression, etc. and if you have it, include a second page that is his/her worst chelation results. We also suggest that you send a copy to other people in the media.

    Please make your letters as firm as you wish, but refrain from using what may be perceived as threatening or harassing words.

    Brian Williams said Tuesday on Imus in the Morning that NBC is going to look into this again. We think he needs to get copies of everything we send to ABC!

    The media needs to be reminded that Autism is mercury poisoning. The CDC and FDA are in the indefensible position of saying excess mercury does not cause mercury poisoning. Let's show them what a bunch of determined parents wanting the truth for their children can do!

    Fax number of ABC: Tim Johnson, (212) 456-5962, Charles Gibson, (212) 456-7290
     
    Fax number of NBC Nightly News: (212) 664-6044

    If you want to help and send a third fax, please send a copy of your letter and chelation results to Senator Enzi. Senator Rick Santorum announced today on Imus in the Morning that Senator Enzi is beginning investigations on Capitol Hill. Senator Enzi's staff need to hear your story, your thanks for opening an investigation, and see the results of your child's chelation proving heavy-metal toxicity.

    Senator Enzi's fax: (202) 228-0359

    Thank you!

    The National Autism Association Team
