Today it was brought to my attention that the ultra-right-wing talk show host, Michael Savage, made some very disparaging comments about autistic children as well as their parents. Now, please do not get me wrong – I believe in free speech, and I also happen to be rather conservative politically… so when I here moronic things like this, I can understand why many people do not like “conservative” people. Please be advised we do not all feel like Michael Savage does… if he actually HAS any feelings at all – besides a seething anger and contempt for most people, that is. This audio clip will make you wonder, too.
Would you be so kind as to contact his corporate sponsors and ask them to no longer do business with this sad, petty, little man? It will not help their image and they should be made aware of this fact…
Get Rid of These 2 Major Diet Bombs!
Posted by autismblogger on July 30, 2008
I really love Dr. Mercola… and this video may not have anything specific to do with Autism, but these two substances are something I personally believe needs to be out of most of EVERYBODY’S diets anyway. More and more people are being diagnosed with gluten sensitivities, resulting in such illnesses as eczema, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, and other chronic illnesses with aggravating and debilitating symptoms.
Since I believe that diet can relieve many of autism’s symptom’s and behavior, I wanted to post this video (although not in all cases, many people have had success with exclusion diets in improving behavior and focus in autistic children, and these substances come with many health issues… ).
