Episode Description
On October 16th the Vaccination Choice Rally, organized by Louise Kuo Habakus and the NJ Coalition for Vaccination Choice (www.njvaccinationchoice.org), was held in Trenton, NJ. Barbara Loe Fisher, President and Co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center (www.NVIC.org) looked out over three generations. The NVIC was founded in 1982 and her book, A Shot in the Dark, was published almost two decades ago. Barbara will detail the science with regard to how bioactive pertussis toxin and endotoxin, as well as other potentially toxic ingredients, could contribute to developmental delays. Barbara will talk about infectious diseases and describe the rise in chronic disease and disability in children the past 25 years as the number of doses of vaccines more than doubled. Louise Kuo Habakus is concerned about both the ethics of mass- and forced-vaccination policies and how citizens can develop grassroots movements to maintain health-freedom rights for themselves and their children.

Approximately 1 child in 50 is diagnosed with autism, which gives autism the undesired ranking as the most prevalent childhood developmental disorder in the United States. 67 children will be diagnosed today - that is nearly 1 child every 20 minutes. Autism is treatable and children are significantly improving or recovering following appropriate therapies. “Autism One: A Conversation of Hope” hosted by Teri Arranga, includes discussions with the most experienced doctors, researchers, and therapists in the field, parents of recovered children, and advocates for the children and families.
