JOHN'S WORLD OF AUTISM   Web www.johnsworld.cashhosters.com

Mercury Poisoning Myths Myth #1: Autism is Genetic Myth #2: Autism is Lifelong Myth #3: Autistic children are not affectionate and do not like to be held or touched Myth #4: Autistic children are in their own world and are not interested in other people Myth #5: If you have autism, you are mentally handicapped Myth #6: There is no autism epidemic, it's just better diagnosis Myth #7: The reason that boys represent 80% - 90% of the epidemic is that autism is an extreme form of the more rigid and scientific male mind Myth #8:  Autism is a complex, multi-factorial epidemic. There are many different causes that all work together. Mercury may be one of the factors in creating autism, but saying it is only mercury is way too simplistic Myth #9:  Saying that vaccines cause autism will create a return to unvaccinated children dying from many childhood diseases we have nearly eradicated Myth #10: You say mercury from Thimerosal causes autism. Others say the MMR vaccine causes autism. But, the MMR vaccine has never contained Thimerosal. How can both be true? Myth #11: The mercury used in vaccines is the safe kind of mercury that the body disposes of quickly Myth #12: The mercury received in a vaccine is no greater than in a can of tuna. Eating a can of tuna has certainly never caused autism
