    Autism Matters: As a Doctor, I’m to Blame, by Paul Thomas, M.D.

    On November 13, 2015, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released more bad news about autism.

    More children have it.

    Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are on the rise.
     
    Again.

    This new CDC data shows that 1 in every 45 children in America has an autism spectrum disorder.

    One in every 45.
    “The estimated prevalence of ASD based on 2014 data was 2.24%, a significant increase from the estimated annualized prevalence of 1.25% based on 2011–2013 data,” the CDC reports. [http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr087.pdf]

    Despite some of the inaccurate information you may be reading in the media, autism, as we are seeing it today, did not exist 100 years ago.

    ​You can’t turn on the TV, pick up a newspaper, or surf the internet without coming across the debate about childhood vaccines.
    Most of these articles, posts, and testimonials make the vaccine question seem like it’s completely black or white: either you’re reading that vaccines are a miracle and of absolute necessity and you should do all the vaccines the CDC and your pediatrician recommend without question (and that you are “selfish,” and “dangerous” if you do not), or you are discovering websites and columnists who insist that vaccines are all dangerous, vaccines will kill your infant, and all vaccines are bad. These anti-vaccine sites insist that if you want your baby to be healthy, you shouldn’t do any vaccines at all.
    ​Confused?

    The goal is to get the protection you need before you need it, while minimizing vaccine side effects and health challenges.
    ​Since 2008, Dr. Paul and the team at Integrative Pediatrics LLC have offered patients the plan outlined below. Patients have experienced superior health, and a significantly lower rate of autism (0/1176 patients new autism or ASD – who vaccinated according to the plan listed below - data being published).  Note, that vaccinating this way is not a guarantee that your child will not become autistic as there are many variables (genetics, other environmental toxins, vitamin D status, breast feeding status etc.) 
    If you have autism in the family – don’t do any vaccines.
