On Monday 2 April, Fox News interviewed Donald Trump about his opinion on the rise in autism. I'm very glad to hear heavy weights like Donald Trump is speaking up for what he thinks the causes are. Donald Trump stated in the interview he has come to the conclusion that “monster” vaccinations cause autism. Here is an extract from the interview:
“I’ve gotten to be pretty familiar with the subject,” Trump said. “You know, I have a theory — and it’s a theory that some people believe in — and that’s the vaccinations. We never had anything like this. This is now an epidemic. It’s way, way up over the past 10 years. It’s way up over the past two years. And, you know, when you take a little baby that weighs like 12 pounds into a doctor’s office and they pump them with many, many simultaneous vaccinations — I’m all for vaccinations, but I think when you add all of these vaccinations together and then two months later the baby is so different then lots of different things have happened. I really — I’ve known cases.”
“You know that most physicians disagree with that,” co-host Gretchen Carlson noted. “And the studies have said that there is no link. It used to be thought that is was the mercury in those vaccinations, which they have not had for years and, yet, we are at the highest number in recent time of autism. So, maybe it’s environmental.”
“It’s also very controversial to even say,” Trump acknowledged. “But I couldn’t care less. I’ve seen people where they have a perfectly healthy child, and they go for the vaccinations and a month later the child is no longer healthy.”
“It happened to somebody that worked for me recently,” he added. “I mean, they had this beautiful child, not a problem in the world, and all of the sudden they go in and they get this monster shot. You ever see the size of it? It’s like they’re pumping in — you know, it’s terrible, the amount. And they pump this in to this little body and then all of the sudden the child is different a month later. I strongly believe that’s it.”
Manuka Honey in
the News:
A report in a New Zealand newspaper from 17 March 2012, the Gisborne Herald
reads: “A world expert on manuka honey research has just visited New Zealand to
present his research on the new unique compounds they have discovered in manuka
honey.
While the anti-bacterial activity of manuka honey
is widely known, new research by a German team has revealed honey has a potent
ability to fight infection in the mouth, throat and stomach. Professor Thomas
Henle, a food chemist at the Institute of Food Chemistry, Technical University
of Dresden, identified methylglyoxal or MGO as the compound in honey
responsible for its antibacterial properties. Professor Henle said dietary MGO
in manuka honey was stable under the conditions of the mouth, throat and
stomach where it can kill bugs that cause infection.
Many
studies also show Manuka honey high in MGO may be an effective cure against
Helicobacter pylori, a bacterial infection of the stomach which may affect up
to half the world’s population, he said. It is frequently without symptoms but
under certain conditions causes chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers. It is
also linked to development of duodenal ulcers and stomach cancer. Professor
Henle said that antibiotics often fail to treat helicobacter pylori
effectively, but his studies show that manuka honey with high levels of MGO, is
stable in the stomach therefore offering a promising cure and improved
gastrointestinal health.”
