MMR
But to many parents, the anecdotal experience of seeing seemingly healthy, well adjusted children suddenly descend into a twilight world of bizarre behavior after being given multiple inoculations is evidence enough that "autism" isn't necessarily a genetic condition, but may be directly related to what's in those vaccines. Also convinced of that are a number of lawyers who have agreed to represent them, at least in regard to the mercury issue. In April 2002, a class action lawsuit against the manufacturers of thimerosal and the vaccine manufacturers who used it was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York based on claims that the amounts of mercury contained in these vaccines far exceeded the levels considered "safe" by the EPA.
The safety of these MMR vaccinations has also continued to be called into question. "Thousands of parents believe that the MMR vaccine has contributed to their children's autism," noted longtime pediatrician and vaccine researcher F. Edward Yazbak, M.D., of Falmouth, Massachusetts. " They speak of the MMR being the only new event in their child's life in that period between normal development and autistic regression...These parents certainly did not acquire their conviction from reading about the twelve cases reported in Dr. Wakefield's first paper...Always remember their children were normal and their disease is acquired"
Noting that such parents no longer believe health authorities' assurance that the vaccine is safe, Dr. Yazbak also charged that "the infectious disease specialists and epidemiologists who make decisions and mandate vaccines have little knowledge of autism and its immune etiology."
Another critic, Dr. Tedd Koren, a Pennsylvania-based chiropractor and author of Childhood Vaccination: Questions All Parents should Ask, charges that doctors routinely failed to report vaccine reactions because "they don't want to, they don't recognize it, and they're afraid if malpractice. The truth is, we don't know how many kids are being hurt."
Koren even disputes the conventional medicine postion that vaccinationa are necessary to protect against childhood disease. "If we stopped vaccinating, we would not have an outbreak of measles tomorrow," says Dr. Koren. Rather, "we would stop having an outbreak or epidemic of autism," which Dr. Koren claims has corresponded with the increased use of vaccines. "You didn't see autism in Japan until after WWII, when the Americans instituted an immunization program," he says.
"When you eat fish, it's ingested; when you get a vaccine with mercury, it's injected," observes Koren, adding, "Stop with the tuna already."

Dessert Time: Yummy Egg Tarts
The crust of the egg tart was a buttery pie-crust/ biscuit-pastry (similar to that of a cheesecake) with a combined taste of sweetness and saltiness, and was not soggy at all. The custard part of the egg tart was very warm and eggy, soft and tender as well, not too sweet and it just simply melted in your mouth :D

Vaccinations: An Ounce of Prevention or a Ton of Trouble?
"I don't have to read a letter to experience the heartbreak. I see it in my own family"
That night Christian had a slight fever and he slept for long periods of time. When he was awake he would scream a horrible high-pitched scream. He would scream for hours. He began dragging his head on the furniture and banging it repeatedly. Over the week-and-a-half after the vaccinations, Christian would stare into space and act like he was deaf. He would hit himself and others, which was something he had never done. He would shake his head from side to side as fast as he could. He lost all language.
-Christian, grandchild of Indiana Congressman Dan Burton, having been a healthy and beautiful child who was "outgoing and talkative", had gone into an autistic state virtually overnight following a visit to the doctor's office during which he was given a number of routine immunizations

High Drug Addictive Potential?
Look I am so good in self injection :(
Was actually a former shot sissy who seriously needed an anxiety counseling.
Fortunately, maturity and necessity often bring boldness.
Since now self-injections is a necessary part of my daily routine, I try to appreciate for my ability to obtain the medications I needed. Surely, I could manage the self-injections when I can put up with craps like legs-shaving, plucking our eyebrows,and popping pimples.
How badly can a single needle prick actually hurt?
