CMMB is funded by private donations, government contracts, and foundation and corporate gifts. It takes all of that--and a lot more--to address the critical healthcare needs of people around the world.

She told me she and her friend had a craving for a hamburger recently so they went to Johnny Rockets, had a massive burger with fries, went home and felt awful. Her first thought was, 'maybe I got salmonella from the tomato!' and then realized 'what the hell am I talking about? I feel awful because of the BURGER and FRIES!' We both actually laughed and thought, 'poor tomato, the only healthy thing in the whole meal!'Marisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921222618739814739.post-60155159154876416022008-06-22T16:54:00.000-04:002008-06-22T16:54:00.000-04:00It doesn't seem that vague, Scott, when you see parents of a child with autism after receiving their immunization shots.<BR/><BR/>The mother had written to me and didn't say NOT to get the vaccinations, but not to necessarily listen to the AMA guidelines; instead, spread the various shots out.<BR/><BR/>She has spent the last 5 years (the little guy is now 6) researching autism - and she still holds this was the cause.<BR/><BR/>She also read the statistics of autistic children: 20 years ago 1 in 10,000 had autism. Currently, it's 1 in 150! If this is the case, we must be doing something terribly wrong!!<BR/><BR/>ElaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921222618739814739.post-7006918623175025862008-06-21T15:13:00.001-04:002008-06-21T15:13:00.001-04:00I'm grateful for the comments on this posting. I, too, have read about autism being potentially linked to childhood immunizations. The evidence, though, is still quite vague. I'm not a parent, but I believe I would still make certain my child had his shots rather than risk infection from a preventable disease. While measles, for example, might not seem to be a huge health threat, infection can cause substantial problems both individually and globally.Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921222618739814739.post-20277287257381932782008-06-21T15:13:00.000-04:002008-06-21T15:13:00.000-04:00I'm grateful for the comments on this posting.

I just received an email from a family member who gave birth to a healthy little boy. At 13 months of age, he was active, aware of his surroundings, and even spoke 10 or so words. At that age, he was given his MRR shot the same day as he was given one for chicken-pox. From that point on, everything change. He no longer recognize his mother, ceased to be active and lost the ability to speak the words he had learned. After the family's long struggle, he was diagnosed as having autism. <BR/> I understand this is not an isolated case, but is happening throughout the country.<BR/><BR/>Parent's really do have a reason to avoid letting their children become immunized.<BR/><BR/>ElaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921222618739814739.post-25097263677470776392008-06-20T16:50:00.000-04:002008-06-20T16:50:00.000-04:00Your Mom will certainly be in my prayers.<BR/><BR/>ElaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921222618739814739.post-90281194844591657482008-06-20T16:46:00.000-04:002008-06-20T16:46:00.000-04:00I didn't realize you had written about, "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes," until I started reading it.<BR/><BR/>I remember a conversation we had about tomatoes and how much you enjoyed them.
