During my live interview on the radio there was a man
that called in about help in developing a program or
special class at his church for autistic kids.  This website

I
have personally visited the H.O.P.E. Center in Fresno.
Here is a web site for H.O.P.E (Hyperbaric Oxygen & Physical Enrichment Center)  
located in Fresno, Ca.  I have
 met and spent time with the owner personally.  She
has very reasonable rates and is wonderful to work with.  If you are considering
Hyperbaric's contact Susan.

Mercy Me- Hold Fast
With all the  controversy today about the safety of immunizations please take the
time to educate yourself. In our case my son suffered severe regression after
receiving his 18 month MMR booster.  He lost speech completely and began to
tantrum for hours everyday within a few days after receiving this shot.
BE AWARE of the risks.
These guidelines are from the Autism Research Institute:

DAN! (Defeat Autism NOW!) Vaccination Guidelines:

1. Use Thimersol / Mercury free vaccines!!
The only way to know for sure a vaccine is mercury/thimersol free is to
read the insert yourself! Many doctors still have mercury/thimersol
vaccines sitting in the refrigerators! And yes, mercury /thimersol
containing vaccines are still being made!! Be sure to be 100% sure!

2. Do not vaccinate newborns.

3. Avoid re-immunization with a vaccine after a previous bad reaction.

4. NEVER vaccinate ill children or children recovering from an infection.

5. Space vaccines - do not give multiple vaccines in 1 day.
(THAT INCLUDES vaccines that have multiple viruses! Split them up!)

6. Use single dose vials from which to draw up the vaccines as opposed
to multiple-dose vials which provide less uniform dosage.

7. Use inactivated polio. (the shot, not the drops)

8. Give RDA (Recommended Daily Allowances) of Vitamin C before and
after vaccines

9. Give a natural form of Vitamin A ( cod liver oil ) to keep RDA's at
level at all times for the age.

10. Separate the MMR into 3...start with measles at 12-15 months, then
mumps at 18-21 months, rubella at 24-27 months.

11. Do not give live virus vaccines to immunodeficient children.

12. Do not give vaccines if allergic to any of these components:
i. Yeast - Hep B
ii. Eggs - MMR
iii. Neonycian - MMR or Varicella

13. Hold off on the Varicella until 10-12 years & if the child is shown not
immune to Chicken pox.

14. Checking vaccine titers before giving boosters (Most people are
immune after one dose. We continue to get multiple doses that MAY
NOT BE NEEDED. Have them check antibody levels via titres blood
test.)
