@WM: I read Sarcha’s comments as sarcastic. not sure if “snotty” is the right word, but yeah. Especially when s/he says “I presume you think Mothers have no right to make decisions with regard to their children as they have no Scientific or medical degree.” that’s just a low blow, as Keith never suggested that.

also, gotta love it when Sarcha says “I for one are intelligent enough to[…]” — that was just LOL funny to me

I think that Mike was saying that the neurologic disorders affecting kids these days are caused by vaccines and food additives(not all..just most). He was not trying to say that these kids don’t have a problem. I think he feels that these names (ADHD, PDD, ect) are created in order to sell drugs to kids. At any rate, that is my two cents.

I have been reading mike adams for years…the dude knows what he is talking about. I just found your site…we will see if you do.

It seems that you were at little sensitive at sarcha’s comments…i didn’t think that they were snotty or attacking you in anyway…

Good for you Charles,
Science is great but in the end, it matters what happens to YOU, not what happens to the stastistical majority.

In reply to sarcha.

Well, you are snotty Sarcha, and no mistake.
You have no right to tell me what I think – especially when you are very wrong.
I admire Mike a lot. He does a great service.
But he makes a LOT of mistakes. For example his opinion about ADHD is a DISASTER (and it is only an opinion). Doctor like me spent years back in the 70s and 80s trying to get ADHD recognized as a real condition, so these kids could be helped, instead of being abused and punished by the system. Mike Adams claims it doesn’t exist (few years ago).
Well, he’s not a doctor. If he’d ever seen what I saw in clinical practice, he could never have come up with such a gaff.
I remember one kid who was so wired he spent the entire one hour interview with his parents running round and round the room, jumping onto my desk as he passed and running between us every circuit. It was exhausting to watch and VERY pathological.
For someone to publish an opinion to millions that this condition is a hoax saddens me beyond belief.
It’s (to me) like saying there’s no such thing as malaria, it’s just something the blacks made up to get sympathy and medical attention.
As for the rest of your comments, they are both offensive and stupid. I was a champion of alternative medicine – and mother’s opinions – for many decades before Mike Adams spotted his marketing niche. It’s because of doctors like me, out there, who took the flack, that he’s able to tell these stories at all.
So I think you are on the wrong list Sarcha. I suggest you unsubscribe from mine. I’ve been around far too long and seen far too much to be of use to an opinionated person like yourself.

I was dianosed with lung and brain cancer in jan.2011.I was taking supplments before that but not the right kind.After the bad news I started looking on the internet for some kind of magic potion.I’ve seen hundreds.Everyone has a different solution.I should have been taking these vitamins when I was a young man.I was overcome with solutions to my problems.I was overloaded with info.Too much info.I’m getting chemo and radiation treatments now and so far not many side effects except being tired.I don’t know how this is going to end(well I do)What we have to do is take care when yu’re young.we have to eat the lousy veggies card board food.The internet has too much info.for me to digest.I never seen so many miracle cures and you know what,I’m going to try them.

Obviously you don’t like Mike Adams. Only Scientists and Doctors have the right to an opinion. At least Mike Adams isn’t filling our Nation with vaccines and medication. I presume you think Mothers have no right to make decisions with regard to their children
as they have no Scientific or medical degree. I think he like you is trying to keep us informed and I for one are intelligent enough to do some research and I certainly don’t rely on anyones so called facts. I don’t doubt that you both spend a lot of time trying to do your best and care about people. I thought you were above the I’m mightier than though attitude. But obviously not.

I absolutely agree with you regarding the great distortion of accuracy that many of these so called studies reveal. From my own experiences of having a mild form of type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, clinical gout and hypertension in my past which I was able to completely reverse a number of years ago by shifting to a mediteranian type diet consisting of lower glycemic loads, taking a large series of antioxidants that are too many to mention, fish oils, coconut oil, cod liver oil, Iodoral or lugols solution and nordic tracking 20 minutes every morning for years and I feel like I did when I was in my 20’s. I am currently in my mid to late 50’s. So I do know for sure that the supplements and type of diet and lifestyle that I shifted to had a very huge influence on my entire health state. When I read many of these health studies involving vitamins, there is so many variables that I can suggest immediately where they are screwing up in the way the researches have designed these studies. It just seems to me many times which is also quite obvious that many studies have been designed to make a political point or just make their view look correct and everyone else like you or me are just stupid fools. But I can see many of the mistakes they make in their studies whether its intentional or ignorant. Thank you for bring this topic up which is a great passion of mine as well.
