ABA for Autism Is Pointless

There are thieves all over the USA who are selling Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) as a cure for autism. It does not work and you should not waste your money, your insurance company's money or your valuable time on this nonsense.
 Autism is caused by mercury and the only way to cure it is to remove mercury from the brain with Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). Since the medical profession who caused the autism by shooting mercury into our babies with vaccines doesn't want you to know this, they support crazed, expensive and useless therapies like ABA to try to deflect blame away from themselves.
 The largest supporter of ABA is the corrupt charity, Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks was founded by a former executive from General Electric. GE owns their own thimerosal manufacturing facility. Thimerosal is the mercury compound in vaccines that caused the autism epidemic.
 This corrupt founder of Autism Speaks helped his daughter use chelation to try to cure his autistic grandson. He doesn't publicize that though and Autism Speaks advises people that chelation doesn't work and is dangerous. Since those of us who used chelation to cure our children know that this advice from Autism Speaks is completely false and misleading, we don't have to wonder why this bogus charity refuses to tell the truth about autism. It's obvious that they are protecting the medical industry by lying to parents of autistic children.
 Autism Speaks has been campaigning all over the country to force legislation down the throats of the unwitting public to compel insurance companies to pay for ABA. They know ABA can't possibly cure any autistic children so they used some very sneaky propaganda to change the definition of autism. By changing the definition of autism to include children who merely have Asperger's syndrome, Autism Speaks and the thieves who sell ABA can show that ABA works.
 ABA is a torturous behavioral tool that abuses children much worse than any beatings that they may have received to modify their behavior when I was young. Disabled children whose behavior is challenging due to the mercury that causes their brains to function improperly are browbeaten for hours upon hours by "therapists" until they "learn" to behave the way the therapist wants them to behave. Where a few smacks with a belt might have produced improved behavior years ago, children are now psychologically "whipped" into compliance. This does absolutely nothing to address the mercury that causes their brains to malfunction but it can produce acceptable behavior in high functioning "autistic" kids. And, this torture does not have permanent effects to remedy unwanted behavior.
 For confirmation of my opinion, I cite this brilliant essay by the eminent autistic research scientist, Michelle Dawson who states: "In the early 90's, a trio of children with autistic behaviours got the full ABA treatment from the very best, including Dr Lovaas. He, Tristram Smith, and Morten Klevstrand reported on the results in 1995. The treatment was an utter failure; the one girl who showed any progress in any area concurrently regressed so drastically in others that the authors seemed actually distressed. The children, who started with low intelligence scores, finished untestable after thousands of hours of intensive behaviour intervention. They did not recover or become indistinguishable from peers designated as typical." One may also find countless examples of autistic adults who liken ABA to torture. They understand that their brains work differently and they don't want to be trained like circus animals into acting in a manner that happens to please society but forces them to act against their own desires. Of course, most of these adults also don't comprehend the fact that their brains don't work properly due to mercury poisoning but that's another story.
 The point I hope parents learn about ABA here is that it can't do anything at all to address brain damage caused by mercury. The only thing that can address that damage is chelation to remove the mercury and, after the mercury is removed, a number of various methods to address damage that may be permanent. Ask questions if you'd like to know more.

Shelley Hendrix Sold Out Autistic Children

Here's an email exchange with Shelley Hendrix who used to run an organization called Unlocking Autism. Shelley used to tell the truth about autism. Now she takes money from Autism Speaks and helps them lie about autism. For those who don't know the truth about autism, we learned that it was all mercury poisoning in 1999. All sorts of liars have tried to hide that fact since then. Now, Shelley Hendrix is a paid liar for Autism Speaks. She used to have some morals and she used to fight for the truth. Now she lies by asking for research that she knows is 100% corrupt and she begs people to throw their money away on this bogus research when that money could be used by honest people to cure autistic children.

Date : Mon, Oct 15, 2012 12:35 PM [ Print ] Shelley, I think you know that Autism Speaks is an arm of the Pharmaceutical Industry, founded by an executive from a company named GE who owns their own thimerosal plant. I think you known that AS will never tell anyone the truth about autism and will never admit to anyone how to cure autism with chelation. Make no mistake. You ARE a sellout! You disgust me!

 Hi John, I love what I do. I work hard every day. I don't think I am a sell out. Not one bit. Thanks for your comments, Shelley Hendrix Director, Grassroots Development Government Relations Autism Speaks 1990 K Street NW Washington, DC 20006 ________________________________________

Hi Shelley, Too bad Autism Speaks won't let you ask the candidates to end autism by banning thimerosal, huh? Does it suck to be a sell out to AS and keep asking for research when you know you should be demanding the truth instead? How do you live with yourself? John Best
