Explanation:
Over the last decade, autism has gone from a rare and misunderstood condition to a disorder that may affect as many as 1.5 million Americans. Without a clear explanation in sight, parents and doctors have worked tirelessly to pinpoint the cause of autism, but the answer remains elusive. Are vaccines the missing link?

No, thats not right
Re: No, that's not right
Ok- You are right about that the ways of getting Hep B, I did not mention those, but as I did mentioned, if I had been tested for Hep B before having him, how can he receive it during child birth? Odds are pretty against sexual contact as a baby, blood transfusion; not only that he would need one, but that the blood that he gets is contaminated, and needles that are re-used and that are contaminated. I believe that the levels of aluminum and mercury can cause a much greater risk for a child than the slim to no chance that Hep B will happen.
I have no proof that my son has autism because of these shots, but I do know that the reactions he had after the shots were not normal. He never did regress, but he had the signs of Autism since day one. It is a gut feeling that this was the cause. In addition to that, his Challenge test prove that he is loaded up on Mercury and Aluminum. How else would you suggest that I have proof that it was these shots. If there was a way to prove this, I do not imagine there would be this ongoing debate and we would all agree. Do you have a way to support your opinion on it not being the cause. I would be interested in hearing this, maybe I will be convinced.
I do have one last question for you, why is it that babies receive this vaccination in the State of WA, and here in Charlotte, NC this is a not a requirement until Middle School. I think that shot is overall a good thing, but why at such a young age?

False Positives from Urine Challenge Tests
"In addition to that, his Challenge test prove that he is loaded up on Mercury and Aluminum. "
Sadly, you have made an error in trusting the urine challenge tests to provide indications of metal levels in your child. Provoked urine challenge tests have been disproven as informative on metal loads in humans. Substantial peer reveiwed literature exists on this subject and most practioners who claim this test is indicatiev fail to inform their patients that there is NO baseline for provoked (post-chelation) level measures. In other words, there is no information as to what constitutes "elevated" levels of metallics. Additionally, the standard indicated by such labs as DDI and others, always are graded against UNPROVOKED samples. This is akin to measuring a runner's time after completing an all you can eat buffet and an hour's worth of rigorous exercise to a same course in whcih they are unencumbered.
