Family To Receive $1.5M+ In Vaccine-Autism Award

An anonymous reader, quoting from CBS News, writes "'The first court award in a vaccine-autism claim is a big one. CBS News has learned the family of Hannah Poling will receive more than $1.5 million for her life care, lost earnings, and pain and suffering for the first year alone. In addition to the first year, the family will receive more than $500,000 per year to pay for Hannah's care. Those familiar with the case believe the compensation could easily amount to $20 million over the child's lifetime. ... In acknowledging Hannah's injuries, the government said vaccines aggravated an unknown mitochondrial disorder Hannah had which didn't 'cause' her autism, but 'resulted' in it. It's unknown how many other children have similar undiagnosed mitochondrial disorders. All other autism 'test cases' have been defeated at trial. Approximately 4,800 are awaiting disposition in federal vaccine court.' How did this happen when all the scientific data points otherwise?"

Trusting the word of someone in a profession where he/she inarguably knows more than you is not blind faith. It's called listening to your doctor. You're far more likely to be wrong or make a mistake than he/she is.

autism from the bowels, NOT the brain?

I also suspect that there is a link to the bowel. I don't know an Autistic kid who doesn't have bowel problems, but that is a limited view. For my son, treatment for Candida and the use of probiotics has helped enormously.

I have a friend from high school whose kid has seizures/autism/etc. They've found that a low-carb ("ketogenic") diet helps significantly.

Cayce gave a few readings about people with autism-like symptoms... One factor in the case were "adhesions" and scar tissue in the lacteals, the lymphatic channels which are attached to the small intestines. The scar tissue serves to short-circuit parts of the abdominal nervous system.

The treatment advised included castor oil packs and other therapies, which slowly dissolve the scar tissue and help stimulate normal lymph flow.
