=========

I am a Canadian Barrister (lawyer in U.S. terms) and also the mother of two children with autism, aged 12 and 10. I will testify before any court that these children have been dramatically helped with the biomedical approach advocated by Dr. Wakefield. The videos shown by Dr. Wakefield and his associates mirror my two children. It was his talk in Chicago in May 2006 which led me to change their diet after so many medical professionals and therapists had told me that was not necessary. The change of diet has changed our lives. My daughter stopped her dangerous head banging/bashing in only a few weeks on the diet - after having done that for nine years! She also potty trained herself - after we had unsuccessfully tried everything every professional had ever recommended. Quite simply, she could not be potty trained for medical reasons - not behavioural or sensory causes. It was Dr. Wakefield - and the DAN Doctors who advocate his approach - who helped us save our

children. Also, both my children have been repeatedly hospitalized for immune disorders - with their immune systems attacking them for no clear reason such as Lupus. With the change in their diet, their immune systems have calmed right down and we have not had an episode since we started the healthier diet. It should be noted that their diet was not unhealthy before we followed Dr. Wakefield's recommendations. Their diet did, however, contain gluten and casein as most children's do. We had put the children through all of the traditional allergy tests and were told that the children were fine with gluten and casein. However, after listening to Dr. Wakefield and the other DAN doctors at the Chicago One Conference last year, we had their blood tested and found they had a real problem with antibodies to gluten and casein in their system. We can not stress enough how much all of our lives have been improved by Dr. Wakefield and his colleagues who recognize that autistic

children are medically ill - not just behavioural. I would also like to stress that I have never understood Dr. Wakefield to say that vaccines per se are wrong or should not be given. Dr. Wakefield and his colleagues have simply advocated for a more responsible approach to vaccinations - single dose without any added garbage such as dangerous preservatives. Having witnessed the immune problems experienced by my two children, I can assure you that autism and challenged immune systems go hand in hand for many of these children. Clearly, single dose vaccines are much safer for immune compromised children. This is not rocket science and it is not radical medicine - it is common sense and it is helping many children with autism.

I too am the parent of a child diagnosed with Autism. I was a non-responder to the MMR, meaning I never showed titres so was given it over and over and over again. When my child received hers it was devastating and immediate. She went from a typical beautiful child to a spinning, head-banaging, self-biting, pulling out her own hair and non-verbal child. But, through the help of the DAN protocol and Dr. Bernard Rimland I have brought my daughter back from the darkness of Autism. She is now 100% mainstreamed with her peers and making straight A's. No one believes me anymore when I say she was onced diagnosed severely autistic. Parent's observations are ignored, called anectdotal when they notice post-vaccination regression, then when their child recovers with aggressive bio-medical intervention, parents are once again marginalized and once again told their story is anectdotal. It will all stay anectdotal as our oversight agencies refuse to investigate a single story

to prove or disprove it. Best to just continue to pretend to be concerned while doing nothing about. it. Andy Wakefield did something about it, and that is to be commended. If treating each individual child as a unique individual is a crime, then Wakefield is guitly. If listening to parents is a crime, again guilty. If scientific inquiry into a devastating epidemic with no sacred cows and nothing left out of the potential dialogue is a crime, then Wakefield is guilty. I often wonder what kind of a world I live in now that greed, thoughtlessness, and neglect of a generation of damaged children is rewarded and those seriously investigating, asking the hard questions, showing empathy and compassion to those same children are the victims of a self-protecting self-depracating witch hunt. You should be giving Andy Wakefield and those like him a reward, a tribute, and holding them up to others in their profession as an example. That when it comes to our children, nothing is off

limits to investiage, nothing is sacred except the children themselves.

I am a 66 year old academic research professor who specializes in biochemistry/toxicology. I have followed Dr. Wakefield's research for many years. I think his detractors are more interested in preventing the recognition of a major iatrophic event than they are in resolving the real problem, which is that the aggressive vaccine programs in the USA and England are the cause of many medical problems that occur in infants today. The CDC and NHS refusal to look into the lack of certain neurological diseases, such as autism, in our non-vaccinated populations is symptomatic of a cover-up at the highest level. The treatment of Dr. Wakefield is quite similar. Many disagreements surface in medical science, but seldom are the proposers of a new hypothesis attacked as viciously as was Dr. Wakefield. In my opinion, this was done to hide the damage done by, and to protect, the vaccine industry which includes many physicians who profit from the vaccine programs.

Dr. Wakefield's recognition of intestinal disease in autistic children and his investigations to delineate it deserve a knighthood, not a disciplinary hearing. He has numerous peer-reviewed publications, and many other investigators have confirmed what he first reported. The intestinal disease and suffering of these children is obvious; biomedical interventions are effective. I and many other physicians have seen this in our own practices. Reporting the facts as one sees them, and offering an interpretation, is what we are supposed to do. It is totally inappropriate to threaten a physician with loss of provileges because he spoke his mind, based on published data. If there are doubts about the safety of immunizations, this is a topic for debate, not for disciplinary hearings.

I am a licensed registered dietitian with graduate and undergraduate degrees in nutrition. My practice, active since 1999, is comprised almost entirely of vaccine injured children who have autism and bowel disease. No one is helping these children. Their MD providers leave them on Prevacid and steroids to mask their symptoms, surgically insert gastrectomy tubes when they can't grow, and refer them to behavior classes for potty training. These are useless measures that worsen the lives of these children.

 

They respond well to nutrition care and special diets - they begin to grow, eat, and sleep normally. They have normal eliminations for the first time in their lives. They begin to speak again, to look in their parents' eyes directly. Nearly all are gluten intolerant with elevated antigliadin antibodies. I can not find pediatric gastroenterologists willing to help these children, who need impactions cleared, prescription enzymes, gut biopsy, endoscopy, or other measures I can't provide.

 

I have also encountered adults with autism who have been denied appropriate care with gastroenterology. It is medical neglect beyond belief. GMC: Do not shoot the messenger. We need him to train and enlighten peers in GI. I continue to be astonished at the limited ability and thinking of the pedi GI MDs treating the children I encounter. They are doing a terrible job, because they are not working with the facts. They are working with pharma industry sales literature disguised as scientific journals.

Our children are getting sicker and sicker with all kinds of bizarre unacceptable neurological and autoimmune problems. The toxins in our environment and in the form of chemical drugs, vaccines, and food additives are unquestionably having an effect on our children's health - we just don't necessarily know how or why. When brave doctors such as Andy Wakefield start to ask questions and investigate these mechanisms, the medical community needs to support these efforts and let trhe results stand or fall based on the merits of the research and the results, not attack those who are asking the questions and doing the research. Our children desperately need help, and those doing the attacking are doing NOTHING to get us answers on what is happening to our kids and are standing in the way of progress. They can get their rear ends into the labs and come up with their own answers for us parents if they don't like the answers others are coming up with, but they are not doing

that. We fully support the continuing research of Dr. Andy Wakefield and others like him - no person would willingly put themselves in this position unless their conscience left them no alternative. Thank GOD for those who question and dig - where would we be today without them and our future of our children rests in their hands.

-----------------What if a “dirty bomb” exploded over a large segment of U.S.population that simultaneously exposed citizens to Hepatitis B,Hepatitis A, tetanus, pertussis, diphtheria, three strains of polio viruses, three strains of influenza, measles, mumps, and rubella viruses, two types of meningitis, four strains of herpes viruses, the chickenpox virus, 7 strains of Streptococcus bacteria, and four strains of rotavirus.

• We would declare a national emergency.• It would be an “extreme act of BIOTERRORISM• The public outcry would be immense and our government would react accordingly.

 

And yet, those are the very organisms we inject into our babies and our small children in multiple doses, with immature, underdeveloped immune systems, many at the same time with vaccines.

 

But instead of bioterrorism, we call it “protection.” Reflect on that irony.- Dr Sheri Tenpenny, MD
