- Great information on the connection between mercury in vaccines
and autism. While mercury is now out of most childhood vaccines,
there is still aluminum, live virus and other damaging additives.
Additionally, there is a list of parents who have successfully treated
their children (and reversing autism in their children) who are
happy to correspond with you and guide you. They are called “Rescue
Angels” on the website. |

- This is the group that trains doctors and created the biomedical
protocol for treating autism. They host the DAN! conference every
year. This conference is a great place to learn and get information.
Children actually recover from autism, and this site will let you
know how that can be done. |

- This is Dr. Amy Yasko’s website. Dr. Yasko is not associated
with the DAN! efforts but she has also been successfully treating
autism with biomedical intervention. |

| www.nationalautismassociation.org
- Has a yellow pages for kids with disabilities by state and territory.
Also assists low-income families (so that they can access via Internet
a wealth of information on autism) and assists with accessing biomedical
treatment, supplies and therapies. |

- Has information on the symptoms of autism and developmental delays
and promotes early detection and intervention. |

- Go to “yahoogroups” to join various support groups,
learn about different interventions, the latest news and have
immediate support if you are in a crisis. It is so important to
know you are not alone and actually have support from people who
understand what you are going through. Depending
on where you are in the process of treating your child’s
autism, the following support groups can be helpful. I would recommend
creating folders in your inbox for each support group and opting
for the “Daily Digest" as the there is a tremendous
amount of traffic on these groups:
• GFCF
Kids - Covers the gluten/casein/soy free diet. Helps
people learn how to nourish their children using this diet. Helps
people get started on the diet.
• Enzymes
and Autism - Enzymes are an extremely helpful intervention
in autism. Enzymes are exceedingly safe. The body actually produces
enzymes and we get enzymes from our food. When a child is physically
sick (i.e., autism), he or she often lacks the enzymes to break
down foods leading to food allergies and other gastrointestinal
issues. This group helps people get started with using enzymes
for their children. It also covers general bio-medical intervention.
• Autism-Mercury
- This is for people contemplating chelation for their child or
who are chelating their child, but also covers all areas of bio-medical
intervention. Andy Cutler, PhD, who is often on the site, is an
expert in heavy metal poisoning and the effects on the body.
• ChelatingKids2
- Generally involves people chelating their children with transdermal
creams but there are other methods as well. Issues of chelation
are covered, as are all areas of bio-medical intervention. |

Books |
| |
| Evidence
of Harm (David Kirby) - Explores the debate over whether
the mercury in vaccines caused the autism epidemic. Goes deep into
the political aspects of this debate. |
| |
| Enzymes
and Autism (Karen DeFelice) - Gives a good general
overview of how the body works and what goes wrong in developmental
delays and how enzymes work to help these children. |
| |
| Amalgam
Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment (Andrew Hall Cutler,
PhD) Extremely detailed explanation on how chelation works and how
to chelate and how to support vitamins and minerals while chelating.
An invaluable tool. |

- If you join this organization you will get a wealth of reading
including this book. Artificial colors and flavors have been shown
(in a double blind study in England) to affect our children’s
behavior. They are linked to causing ADD and ADHD, which are more
minor manifestations of the symptoms of autism. |
