It is so interesting to me that they are doing environmental testing, yet when we mention these types of cause and effect relationships to our mainstream doctors regarding our children's tics, they dismiss us as if we're nuts.

 

Thanks for posting this. I am interested in a follow-up if/when they find some answers.

tlk,

.

 

If there isn't a drug, that has been throughly "sold" to the Dr. as a "cure/approved treatment," they aren't interested. The whole system is set up, where they can't practice medicine and healing anymore, even if they wanted to (and I do believe there are those that want to, and are frustrated too). They are at the mercy of the insurance companies and law suits if they step outside of the established guidelines of approved treatments.

But, who is approving the treatments? Those who stand to profit the most in many cases. Besides, reg Dr.s just aren't schooled in vit/minerals/nutrition. There is a huge amt. of money in sickness. Just look at what some of the best selling, profit making drugs were last year.

Robert Parker, a spokesman for the Virginia Department of Health, said the CDC official represents an additional level of support for the investigation.

 

"We don't know where the finish line is," Parker told the Roanoke Times. "There may never be an explanation that we can point a finger to."

 

 

I hope the parents stay on top of this. I'm afraid there may be an explanation, but the bolded sentence is the real question. Will they ever point the finger to it?

 

If these people received Gardasil, a meningitis vaccine, a thimerosal containing flu vax, then a virus or infection went thru the school, does anyone really think, they would say anything other than, there's no proof that vaccines played any role in any of this?

 

On another note, there have been reports of schools being closed here, because of mercury spills. I guess some chemistry classes (?) keep some of it around?

 

My son was telling me, that a couple of years ago, some got spilled in his Jr. High school. He said the teacher, just wiped it up, and threw it away. I wonder how many teachers would be tempted to do something similar? What is this stuff still doing in classrooms?

 

I guess this could be caused by many things. I just pray something useful will be discovered, and mostly that these children recover quickly.
