A popular vaccine often called MMR for measles, mumps and rubella has been found to have a link to autism and bowel disease. Although the initial research was heavily scrutinized by other researchers and pharmaceuticals, new research is making those critics take a second look. Sally Beck of the Daily Mail reports:
The study appears to confirm the findings of British doctor Andrew Wakefield, who caused a storm in 1998 by suggesting a possible link.
Now a team from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina are examining 275 children with regressive autism and bowel disease – and of the 82 tested so far, 70 prove positive for the measles virus.
Last night the teams leader, Dr Stephen Walker, said: Of the handful of results we have in so far, all are vaccine strain and none are wild measles.
This research proves that in the gastrointestinal tract of a number of children who have been diagnosed with regressive autism, there is evidence of measles virus.
What it means is that Dr Wake-fields implication is it may be coming study is correct. That study from the MMR vaccine. If thats didnt draw any conclusions about the case, and this live virus is specifically what it means to find residing in the gastrointestinal measles virus in the gut, but the tract of some children, and then they have GI inflammation and other problems, it may be related to MMR.
Hey Tiffany,
Maybe this is the reason for the significant increase in autism in the population. It is amazing isn’t it. You tweak something and then something else reacts…for every action there is a reaction.
If you have read much about disease and vaccines, you will find out that many of the disease they vaccinate for were on the decline long before vaccines came into being due to better hygine and better living conditions.
Motheirng Magazine has had several articles on vaccines. They also have good resources on this topic.
