The con founder here could be mito issues, low glutathione due to illness / oxidative stress, or genetic susceptibility which we don't quite know enough about and cannot adjust in any study yet. If the risk is say 50% of such susceptible kids, then it isn't quite the same risk as getting an infection from the stitches. kulkulkanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040547468445549934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548560205914833324.post-753760933360515072013-04-01T10:18:21.482+01:002013-04-01T10:18:21.482+01:00Thanks for the comment Sarah Jane.

The onus is to continually make products safer and safer (as per what might occur from the synchotron work) and, where appropriate, ensure that those who do suffer side-effects are properly taken care of including learning any lessons that need to be learned.Paul Whiteleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288851488012254897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548560205914833324.post-59361215361675903082013-04-01T02:54:25.581+01:002013-04-01T02:54:25.581+01:00I have my own two cents about vaccinations.

If I were to get it removed I could have a reaction to the anesthesia (topical or not). There could be a gross mistake by the medical professional and have my finger cut off by mistake. My stitches could become infected; perhaps with MRSA. I could die of allergic reaction to the antibiotics. <br /><br />All medical interventions have risk. If you don't want to risk the hypothetical chance of autism from vaccines, you are risking the real risk of measles which has been going around the states.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08656909390560989494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548560205914833324.post-72006103863051900042013-04-01T00:11:18.353+01:002013-04-01T00:11:18.353+01:00Thanks Roger.

It's a slow process but there is a realisation emerging that (a) autism is probably more the 'autisms' and (b) a diagnosis of autism is not seemingly protective against other conditions.
