Summary: 1 Stars
Dr. Karp contends that Autism is not caused by vaccines or mercury but he also contends that "genes are a factor of autism but we have to believe there is an environmental risk as well".........................So I have to ask you Dr. Karp......, is mercury not environmental?
Mercury ingested from a child's environment is far less harmful than mercury that is injected directly into the blood stream and that bypasses the body's natural defense mechanisms in the gut, like the human Methionine Cycle and Glutathione???
He said on the Larry King show "That is why we (The American Academy of Pediatrics) have looked so hard at Mercury and the MMR vaccine and those have not panned out".
Dr. Karp.....do you think we are all stupid? The American Academy of Pediatrics has never looked into a link between Autism and Mercury. Never! All you and the American Academy of Pediatrics can tell us about autism is what it is not but you can't seem to tell us jack shart about what causes it!
Dr. Karp and the Americam Academy of Pediatrics support the harmful ingredients in vaccines, ingredients like,
aluminum hydroxide
aluminum phosphate
ammonium sulfate
amphotericin B
animal tissues: pig blood, horse blood, rabbit brain,
dog kidney, monkey kidney,
chick embryo, chicken egg, duck egg
calf (bovine) serum
betapropiolactone
fetal bovine serum
formaldehyde
formalin
gelatin
glycerol- (anti-freeze)
human diploid cells (originating from human ABORTED fetal tissue)
hydrolized gelatin
monosodium glutamate (MSG)
neomycin
neomycin sulfate
phenol red indicator
phenoxyethanol (antifreeze)
potassium diphosphate
potassium monophosphate
polymyxin B
polysorbate 20
polysorbate 80
porcine (pig) pancreatic hydrolysate of casein
residual MRC5 proteins
sorbitol
sucrose
thimerosal (MERCURY)
tri(n)butylphosphate,
VERO cells, a continuous line of monkey kidney cells
washed sheep red blood cells
And they also support the viral and bacterial RNA or DNA that is part of the vaccines!!
Dr. Karp and The American Academy of Pediatrics defends these vaccines even if the side effects from them include, Anaphylactic Shock/ Anaphylactoid, Encephalitis/ Encephalopathy, Seizures/infantile spasms, Guillain-Barre Syndrome/ Bell's Palsy, Aseptic Menningitis / Transverse myelitis, and last but not least AUTISM!
Summary of The Happiest Toddler on the Block: The New Way to Stop the Daily Battle of Wills and Raise a Secure and Well-Behaved One- to Four-Year-Old
Toddlers can drive you bonkers…so adorable and fun one minute…so stubborn and demanding the next! Yet, as unbelievable as it sounds, there is a way to turn the daily stream of “nos” and “don’ts” into “yeses” and hugs…if you know how to speak your toddler’s language. In one of the most useful advances in parenting techniques of the past twenty-five years, Dr. Karp reveals that toddlers, with their immature brains and stormy outbursts, should be thought of not as pint-size people but as pintsize…cavemen.Having noticed that the usual techniques often failed to calm crying toddlers, Dr. Karp discovered that the key to effective communication was to speak to them in their own primitive language. When he did, suddenly he was able to soothe their outbursts almost every time! This amazing success led him to the realization that children between the ages of one and four go through four stages of “evolutionary” growth, each linked to the development of the brain, and each echoing a step in prehistoric humankind’s journey to civilization:
• The “Charming Chimp-Child” (12 to 18 months): Wobbles around on two legs, grabs everything in reach, plays a nonstop game of “monkey see monkey do.”
• The “Knee-High Neanderthal” (18 to 24 months): Strong-willed, fun-loving, messy, with a vocabulary of about thirty words, the favorites being “no” and “mine.”
• The “Clever Caveman” (24 to 36 months):
Just beginning to learn how to share, make friends, take turns, and use the potty.
• The “Versatile Villager” (36 to 48 months): Loves to tell stories, sing songs and dance, while trying hard to behave.
To speak to these children, Dr. Karp has developed two extraordinarily effective techniques:
1) The “fast food” rule—restating what your child has said to make sure you got it right;
2) The four-step rule—using gesture, repetition, simplicity, and tone to help your
irate Stone-Ager be happy again.
Once you’ve mastered “toddler-ese,” you will be ready to apply behavioral techniques specific to each stage of your child’s development, such as teaching patience and calm, doing time-outs (and time-ins), praise through “gossiping,” and many other strategies. Then all the major challenges of the toddler years—including separation anxiety, sibling rivalry, toilet training, night fears, sleep problems, picky eating, biting and hitting, medicine taking — can be handled in a way that will make your toddler feel understood. The result: fewer tantrums, less yelling, and, best of all, more happy, loving time for you and your child.
