My son got autism traits from aluminum in vaccines. Zinc supplements cured him. How can I spread the word?

Q: At 15 months old, my son got 3 vaccines. He was a healthy little boy, talking but not walking. That night, he screamed all night, stopped speaking and did not say another word (no Mama or Dada) for almost 3 weeks. The next day he was in a stupor, and got a fever that lasted for a week. He had problems crawling into things, and was no longer able to walk while holding my hand. My oldest child had a similar reaction to vaccines, and she now has a mild form of autism. Took him to our pediatrician who said it was coincidence this happened to 2 of my children on the day they got shots. I ignored this and researched online what could have been in the vaccines my son got to cause this reaction, and found two of them contained aluminum, an OSHA-regulated neurotoxin. I had his blood tested–he had aluminum poisoning. 3 months after the shots, we met a Dr who said zinc reduces aluminum levels. In one week, my son began to speak in sentences, play w/ other kids, act like a kid again.

A: I am very happy for you, but there is no scientific evidence that says that vaccines contribute to the onset of Autism. There have been many studies but it hasn’t been proven.

Centrum A to Zinc tablets?

Q: Hello I’m 14 years and wondering if its good if I take Centrum A to Zinc tablets for kids. In other words I don’t have any trouble with my eating or diet I just take the tablets so just in case I miss any of the Vitamins and Minerals. Would it benefit me if not what are the side effects?

A: Waste of money if you eat a healthy balanced diet with lots of raw fruits and veggies. Totally unnecessary. The vitamin and supplement industry is a multi billion dollar scam.
