Question by Mommy to Boys: Can someone help me find the Lancet Article that started the MMR/Autism controversy?
I’m talking about the 1998 article published in the Lancet that claimed there is a link between the MMR vaccine and autism.

I’m doing a research project over why parents choose not to vaccinate their children and almost every source that I come across mentions this article, but I can’t seem to find it myself.

Thanks in advance!

Question by Anora: Found these articles re autism/vaccine links?
Here they are…..

http://www.thinktwice.com/

http://newsblaze.com/story/20080927170755tsop.nb/topstory.html

To all you new parents, and pregnant women, does the info contained in these links make you reconsider vaccination for your new/impending child? My daughter is 16 and had I know then, what I know now, I can honestly say I would NOT have vaccinated her. How about you folks?
Admittedly refusing information, dismissing it as “newspaper hype” and then spewing crap at me youve been programmed with by the same profession that prepetuates these vaccines and the damage they cause, now that is intelligence in action. WOW, I had no idea this part of YA was so stubbornly blind, by choice. By chosing to NOT read the links, you ignore the fact (that means proven, FACT) that both links are indeed backed by NUMEROUS SCIENTIFIC studies……you know, the kind with scientists and doctors and stuff……and, it plainly and clearly says so, complete with additional sources and other studies (they really mean scientific, complete with medical doctors, protocols and everything).
thank you, environmental, for taking this question to exactly where I intended…as a question to incite debate. Silly me for thinking it might be at least somewhat intelligent when dealing with the YA community!!!!! Your answer is the ONLY one Ive gotten so far worth even the time it took to read it. Thank you!
Even if we dont agree on everything….to have an intelligent answer (even if its only one) is exactly what I was looking for. I care not for the ramblings of fear mongering ignorant folk who can do nothing more than spew hatred and recycled garbage.
AND, for what its worth, i never anywhere, in any way shape or form said that vaccines were the ONLY cause. It IS proven that the differing genetic makeup of these children, is triggered by certain vaccines and that is what results in autism or autistic-like conditions.

Answer by Lisa
I’m not going to bother reading the links. Autism is not caused by vaccines and this has been proven over and over again. Those who say otherwise are just looking for a reason other then pure genetics.

I am very happy that I had my daughter vaccinated and would not think twice about doing it again.

Question by Harmless Curiosity: Do you think that autism could be linked to immunization shots?
I’ve heard some people say that their child was perfectly normal until they received immunization shots. Some people believe this could be a cause of autism. Anyone got some good articles about this?

Best answer:

Answer by csmstargazer12
While this debate caused a minor scandal in the nineties, resulting in decreased infant immunization rates (particularly in the measles vaccine), the craze was no more than pandemic panic resulting from a widespread myth. There has been no study which has proven or even witnessed evidence of a scientific link between immunization and autism. No scientist or doctor has been able to find a genetic or medical reason for the development of autism – it is one of the least understood disorders.

What has been proven is that choosing not to vaccinate children results in sickness and death much more often than the rare or mythical complications from vaccination itself. There is no evidence, I repeat, that links autism and vaccination. People who say that their child was normal, got vaccinated, and got autism are simply witnessing the onset of autism in their child UN-RELATED to the vaccination: autism can set in at any point in life, though it is most often diagnosed in 3 – 8 year-olds.

For articles related to this, search online medical journals through jstor or AMA.

This is a reply to the “articles of understanding” exchanged between Autism Speaks and GRASP, in which both sides pretty much ignored the existence of autistic self-advocates who do not speak and do not want to be cured, reducing us to old cliches. It primarily addresses the assumptions made by Alison Tepper Singer in her article and some of her other work. This is the captioned version.

Question by dobby: exceptional parent magazine and autism article?
has anyone read the recent exceptional parent magazine’s article on a family with three autistic children? the article is called finding their way. in the article it mentions how the children were put on a casin and gluten free diet and given cod liver oil, vitamin B12, and glyconutrients and phytonutrients supplements, these supplements had a tremendously profound effect on the autistic kids. they went from not talking at all to talking and the began passing their occupational and physical therapy goals as well as thier ABA goals it goes on to say that their awarness and understanding improved as well. my question is : what are these phytonutrients and glyconutrients? ( the article gives some explaination) are they pills or vitamins? where can I purchase these? I already know about the B12 and fish oil. but I have never heard or the phyto and glyconutrients. and if you have an autistic or adhd child and have not read this article, then get a copy of it or better yet subcribe to it .

Answer by binarywoman
I have heard of this and it’s very controversial. My son has Aspergers. It’s on the autistic spectrum. His doctor is on staff at a major teaching hospital where the chief of psychiatry specializes in autism. I asked whether or not she had heard of it and if it would help. She said that their was no research to support it.

However, improving anyone’s diet has to be of some help. It certainly can’t hurt.

Glyconutrients are:
Fucose (not to be mistaken for fructose)
Galactose
Glucose
Mannose
N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)
N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)
N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac)
Xylose

Phytonutrients are fruits and vegetables.

I’m sure you could find these at any health food store. Some of the better ones have an advisor that works where the supplements are.

Answer by FacingEviction
Hard to access those. Maybe you should go to a local university and access their computer a and/or library catalog. Otherwise peer-reviewed articles aren’t readily available to the public.
