Judges Rule Vaccines Are Not to Blame for Autism
By Jimmy Mengel on 02/12/2009
Today, federal judges ruled that there is no discernable link between autism and the mercury levels in childhood vaccinations. Three familes were seeking monetary compensation for their children's autism, arguing that thimerosa - the mercury vaccine preservative - was to blame for the disorder.
This is clearly a big blow to the movement that blames such vaccinations for the rise in autism rates.
You can read the New York Times account of the verdict here.
Jimmy Mengel was the original managing editor of Healthier Talk.

Vaccines are not the cause of Autism, but they do trigger more severe problems in children who already have a pre-disposition for behavioral disorders and autism because of the damage done before they were born.
Margarine and artificial food colors, flavors and preservatives are the cause of Autism.
I have Aspergers Syndrome or, I am a high functioning autistic.
And my disorder is how I was able to teach myself all of what you will read below.
It became aware to me that I had severe learning disabilities as a child and as an adult I dealt with many behavioral disorders which disappeared all a sudden when I stopped consuming those additives.
I am told by my psychologist that my bipolar manic disorder is in remission and all I did was stopped eating all that toxic stuff in our foods.
When I stopped I also woke up from what I call my chemically induced walking coma.
When Margarine and the additives are consumed by humans it causes an anaphylactic reaction, or anaphylaxis.
I suffered from daily migraine headaches and I figured out that the migraine headaches are the key to how these toxic food stuffs cause Autism.
The migraine headaches come from the swelling of the Cisterna Magna, For those who do not know what this is, it's a sort of viaduct through which cranial fluid, or spinal fluid is allowed to enter and escape the cranial cavity, or skull.
The swelling creates a blockage of the transference of that fluid and pressure begins to build inside the skull.
This pressure and swelling are also how the bipolar manic disorder occurs. (Autism too!)
Because of the proximity of the Medulla to the Cisterna Magna this pressure causes the bipolar mood swings and after these toxins are eventually depleted from the fragile brain chemistry the bipolar mood swings also lessen.
The introduction of these petroleum and wood based coal tar derived additives cause a blockage of the receptors that allow dopamine to work its magic in the brain, thus causing the manic depression portion to occur.
Pregnant women should not eat any margarine, or artificial food additives before, during, or after a pregnancy.
The migraine headaches are the key!
When a woman consumes these additives it causes the same thing to happen in the delicate brain chemistry of the developing fetus, only because the brain is in its earliest stages of development the intra cranial pressure causes hemmorhages and then scarring in the brain of that child.
There are many variables to this, As often as the mother consumes the many toxic food additives and margarine the damage occurs and re-occurs and this damage while it is not constant, unless the mother consumes foods containing these additives constantly.
Minimal use would leave minor damage to the cerebral cortex, resulting in less severe damage and minor problems such as Autism and heavy use cause can lead to miscarriages and, or death.
The other autism spectrum disorders like Aspergers, tourettes, PDD, ADD, ADHD are a result of the child consuming these toxic food stuffs after they are born. And can be turned into, or triggered by the toxicity of the vaccines developing a full on autism.
Autism of this type can be improved and even children with the birth defect variety can improve by removing all artificial food additives and margarine from their diet.
I have several familiies who have reported to me that their childrens behavior has improved and the teachers have had less trouble from thos children, They are on my myspace friends list.

My Aspergers Syndrome while it has become less of a problem and the symptoms have improved. Is still very much a part of me and who I am.
I would not change a thing!
I am now able to make eye contact which I as unable to do for many years.
The old addage of..Never trust someone who wont make eye contact plagued me for many years.
Autism is not the only problem caused by margarine and the additives.
All the bipolar manic disorders in America can be linked to these food stuffs and the increasing numbers of suicidal military men and women who recently returned from the war in the middle east who are suddenly reintroduced to the affects these substances have on the human brain has everything to do with these ailments.
There is much more to this than just behavioral disorders and Autism which is detailed in my article entitled The story of how I discovered the cause of Autism, Which is waiting to be approved by Jimmy Mengel.
In that article I spoke about having had an opportunity to corner an Veterans Administration Urgent Care physician and after explaining everything that is here and in my article he looked me straight in the eye and said that I should be teaching this to doctors and med students!
That is why I am here!
And is also the reason for my continued pursuit in getting this information to the public.
I also sent this to Jenny Thompson of HSI and to the Surgeon General of the United States.
And a few email to our new president in hopes that he might initiate some investigation into my hypotheses.
I am confident about what I have uncovered and the article explains how I came to these conclusions, theories and hypotheses.
Jimmy, Please approve my article and let the others read this information.
Many lives have already been lost and this information will prevent others from suffering the same fate as I did.
My life was ruined because of the damaging effects these toxic food additives and margarine had on my brain chemistry.
Thank you!
Patiently Waiting on the approval,
Jorma J. Takala

Both sites have excellent information on how these additives effect the people of America, Canada, The UK and Australia.
Australia's suicide rate matches the rate in the U.S.
They also use margarine!
