Genetic Susceptibility
| Genetic Susceptibility | |
|---|---|
| Metallothionein Theory | Metallothionein (MT) theory seems likely to be at the center of ASD. Children having a genetic weakness in MT activity would by necessity have yeast overgrowth because MT kills candida, and helps regulate bacterial levels in the mucosa.[1] |
| Genetic Groups and Vaccinations | Recently, serious complications from the new smallpox vaccine have been tied to specific gene variations, and there is ongoing concern that rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions have been triggered by the hepatitis B vaccine in those with genetic susceptibility. The NIH wants to identify risk factors and biological markers predictive of adverse reactions, which could protect vulnerable groups and allow better clinical trials. |
Autoimmunity Hypothesis
| Autoimmunity Hypothesis | |
|---|---|

|
| Neuro-immune Dysfunction Syndromes (NIDS) | By treating these and other diseases as neuro-immune dysfunction syndromes (NIDS) and looking upon them as medical rather than developmental disorders, Michael Goldberg, M.D., F.A.A.P, and his colleagues at the Neuro-Immune Dysfunction Syndromes Research Institute (NIDS-RI) have seen dramatic improvement and normalization in children previously deemed medically untreatable. |
| Mercury and Autoimmunity | Studies have also found mercury, aluminum, and lead cause autoantibodies to neuronal proteins, neurofilaments, and myelin basic protein (MBP) |
| XMRV | The current working hypothesis is that XMRV infection of B, T, NK and other cells of the innate immune response causes the chronic inflammation and immune deficiency resulting in an inability to mount an effective immune response to opportunistic infections.
"On that note, if I might speculate a little bit," Dr. Mikovits said, "This might even explain why vaccines would lead to autism in some children, because these viruses live and divide and grow in lymphocytes -- the immune response cells, the B and the T cells. So when you give a vaccine, you send your B and T cells in your immune system into overdrive. That's its job. Well, if you are harboring one virus, and you replicate it a whole bunch, you've now broken the balance between the immune response and the virus. So you have had the underlying virus, and then amplified it with that vaccine, and then set off the disease, such that your immune system could no longer control other infections, and created an immune deficiency."[2]

| Rotavirus | HOUSTON -- (January 27, 2010) -- A vaccine designed to protect infants against rotavirus, the leading cause of childhood diarrhea, can actually cause the disease in infants born with severe combined immunodeficiency, said experts at Baylor College of Medicine in a study that appears in the current edition of The New England Journal of Medicine.[3] |
| HHV-6 | Although the etiology of autism is unknown, several reports have described its association with known medical conditions, including infections affecting the central nervous system. [4] |

Mayer Eisenstein, MD, JD, MPH Since 1973, The Homefirst physicians have been offering vaccine choice and awareness. Unlike most doctors, the Physicians of Homefirst are honored to serve your family if you give all some or none of the vaccines. They have virtually no asthma, allergies, ADHD, ADD or Autism in their more then 35,000 un-vaccinated children. [5]

| Advisers on Vaccines Often Have Conflicts, Report Says | |
| WASHINGTON — A new report finds that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did a poor job of screening medical experts for financial conflicts when it hired them to advise the agency on vaccine safety, officials said Thursday.
Most of the experts who served on advisory panels in 2007 to evaluate vaccines for flu and cervical cancer had potential conflicts that were never resolved, the report said. Some were legally barred from considering the issues but did so anyway. |

| In the You Tube interview, Dr. Hilleman explains that he didn't realize that the African Greens were infected with the HIV and AIDS Causing Virus.[6] |
| FDA Discussions on Acquired Contamination of Vaccines |
| I urge this Committee and other congressional committees to carefully review the transcripts of meetings of the FDA Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, specifically those which were held in 1998; 2000; 2001 and dealt with adventitious agent contamination of vaccines (an acquired contamination) . |
| Contamination of Rotavirus Infant Vaccine Manufactured by Merck & Co. with Porcine Circovirus 2 (PCV-2) |

| Both PCV1 and PCV2 are common in pigs but neither is known to cause illness in humans, the FDA said. PCV2 is believed to cause postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome in young piglets, marked by diarrhea and an inability to gain weight.[7] |
