I went to Living Light, which is a raw food uncooking school, last month. There was a woman there who's son became autistic at 18 months old. He was a perfectly normal child until he received one of his immunizations. The next day he was autistic. She "cured" him of his autism through purging his body of the mercury poisoning he received due to his immunization. He is a perfectly normal boy now at 8 years old. It took her five years of investigating and changing his foods to clean out his system. Can you imagine having a normal baby one day, then the next he is autistic?

Also, the Jubbs talk about how Magic Johnson was cured of HIV by doing oxygen therapy and cleaning up his diet. No one speaks of that, but it is true.

I'm sure there are many cases out there that are just not publicized due to the fact that there is no money gain in telling people to eat more fruits and vegetables.

I have my opinions on the diseases you mentioned, lol I'll keep them to my self. I will say this though. Reality and truth can be much stranger and scarier than we would ever want to believe, and there in lies the problem. The trick is too keep an open mind, and never be afraid of what you learn.

There is a lot of evidence to suggest that HIV is not the cause of AIDS.

I suggest you look at the work of Peter Duesberg.

There are some interesting videos about too.

Duesberg's work is very interesting, mainly because he gives a bird's eye view into the political landscpae of the National Institute of Health in the 1980's, after the "War on Cancer" proved to be an abject failure. Once the AIDS pandemic hit the news, the NIH was able to boost their funding 10-fold, and all the scientists replaced their office tags of "cancer researcher" with "AIDS researcher" practically overnight. Billions of dollars since that fateful day of June 5th, 1981, they're still clueless about what causes AIDS. Duesberg at least presents an interesting alternative path.

The original virus that we now know as HIV used to be called HTLV-III (Gallo was very inoriginal with his names for retroviruses, as he built his reputation solely on this dubious claim to fame). Luc Montagnier in France had originally named this LAV, and there was some controversy over which scientist had actually discovered it first. So in 1987, the Reagan administration called a commission together to rename the virus HIV in order to prevent bad blood between the research communities of the U.S. and France.

Another eye-opening read that scours the medical literature is Jon Rappaport's AIDS Inc. I like to see evidence of alternate theories, and Rappaport does just that.

I'm not off base. It's obvious I deem my opinion too controversial to share. Im not saying im special or some thing. More like I've been ridiculed for what I believe. Instead I just try and let people know to keep an open mind when their learning about this stuff. Again, the truth about these things can be scary and far from what a lot of us are always told. A lot of people tend to just ignore the really scary stories, and downgrade to some thing they deem more comfortable which may not always be the truth.

Sorry are you saying you have a problem with "lol"? If so, I'm not your monkey I'll type the way I want to type thank you. LOL. :D

Ok stick to your devices, but I thought you all could share ideas of your own, not someone elses view. "Why not paraphrase and save us all that surfing harrang." You been ridiculed?..., you haven't felt what it feels like to get shot after shot as an infant. You think that maybe some of these little children don't feel alienated with the needle. You think that can turn a child into itself so deep that the medical profession calls it autism? Is that what you'd like to say? Well to late because I just wrote it for everyone to consider seriously.

Oh I didn't realize my profile had my life biography written on it...oh wait, it doesn't. You're making quite a bit of assumptions here. You don't know what I've gone through, and I don't know what you've gone through. I wasn't going to say any thing, so I won't even respond to your final question. You're acting very malicious and I would rather not continue this till one of us looses our accounts. So I won't talk to you any more, enjoy the community! I know I will. : - )

There are so many reasons for different conditions and everyone is different etc.

The book that has been quoted by david wolfe around aids is this one http://www.amazon.com/Cure-AIDS-Hulda-Regehr-Clark/dp/1890035025

My son has autism, but he has been mainly raw food all his life, I don't know whether it was brain damage at birth when the cord was stuck round his neck and he was deprived of oxygen or the coma he went into after his MMR in the late 80s. but I don't see it as a disabiltiy but as a gift as he does have savant skills that others do not have. He is extremely healthy physically though. I don't know much about tourettes, Ithink it isneuron and anxiety related, my son also has that very mildly and when his anxiety is minimal it is non existent.

Unfortunately they now dx autism for any little thing and there are kids dx with autism with no similarites or savant skills like my son, just behavioural problems for which there may be a good reason.

First of all, kudos to being a mom of a kid with autism! I know how draining and challenging it can be, and to see it as a gift is always a good thing, in my eyes. All too often, it is seen as a defect, a damage, and something to be ignored or fixed, not appreciated. Even my lowest functioning students with autism are so unique, I think that they bring something extra to the world, a different attitude and outlook, and I would certainly miss it were it gone!!

I do have many students with autism who have no savant skills at all (although I did have one amazing artist once!), and are all very extremely unique, yet all show impairments in communication/social interaction. Originally, I saw autism in one way, but having taught a wide variety of students, I've seen how it can manifest in many ways but with that same core deficit, although it varies in some students.

I have also seen, however, students with no social impairments who are diagnosed as having autism, and I agree that is an incorrect diagnosis. Unfortunately, there is money in autism, and so sometimes doctors diagnose MR or LD as autism, simply to get the child the money. It is unfortunate because autism needs to be taught and reacted to in a specific way, and it could be taking money away from a kid who really needs it. But, at the same time, all kids with disabilities need a little extra help and I am happy for them to get it. A conundrum, yes? Oh, sigh, sigh, sigh.

Of course, the definition changing does not always help. I hear it will be changed again slightly with DSM-V.

I love your statement "support someone being as healthy as it is possible for them to be." I teach students with autism, and none of my students' parents talk about them being "typical" one day and suddenly autistic the next. I don't believe there is a cure-all. I also lament that we are constantly on the lookout for a cure to fix our "damaged" people, instead of appreciating them for the uniquely amazing people that they are.

Indeed, I know someone with higher-functioning autism, and he says that he would not want the cure if it was available. I know that our close family friend with Down Syndrome LOVES her life, adores the stuff that she does, and no one would wish for her to change. We do, of course, wish for her to be the healthiest she can be and to achieve her maximum potential --- as we all wish for every child!!

I do think, though, that sometimes these students eat a lot of junk, and that being malnourished does not help a brain that is already struggling. I think that in this way being raw vegan, or just healthy vegan (not mmmflourandsugar vegan haha) would help ANYONE reach a greater level of ability, whatever their ability may be. A brain or body that is struggling to work needs to be given better tools to work with, I think, than daily macaroni & cheese or french fries (staples of my students.)

And combining that with a very supportive environment full of enrichment experiences and structure and opportunity would help anyone develop and grow and be healthy, whether "typically developing" or MR or autism or FAS or whatever else it may be.
