How to Help

1.  Tell other people about autism.  Pass my website on to friends and family.  Click here to do that in your e-mail program.  My websites are found at www.eric21.freeservers.com.  A website listed on that page is www.autism.2truth.com.  I have another website at www.vaccines.2truth.com.

2.  Contact your congressmen and senators with issues such as mercury in vaccines, tell them to support the mercury free vaccines act of 2004.  Tell your congressmen to be against giving drug companies and vaccine makers liability protection from vaccine injury including death, autism, ADHD, and others.  Tell your congressmen autism and ADHD diagnosis's have increased in the last 10 years when new vaccines were beginning to be added.  Tell your congressmen those new vaccines added more mercury exposure from Thimerosal to infants.  The latest action alert is as follows:

Senator Frist with the help of Senator Judd Gregg are at it again trying to take away our children's rights by preventing lawsuits over Thimerosal in vaccines, just like the legislation secretly inserted in the Homeland Security Bill in the fall of 2002, which was overturned. Now he's making a second attempt and I'm calling everybody to contact your congressmen and tell them this is not right. Click here to find your congressmen contact information. There's a bill that would give the Department of Justice an additional 2.3 million dollars to fight Thimerosal cases on top of the 4 million dollars they already get and on top of that Sen. Frist is pushing to get the cases dropped all together. To read more and see a sample letter, visit www.nationalautismassociation.org/grassroots.php

Purchase the book "Evidence of Harm"

Read the following articles:

Family Story About Vaccines With 3 Children

1991 Memo Warned of Mercury in Vaccines

Childhood Vaccines Cover-up

If you'll like to add your story about vaccines on my website or have any comments about vaccines, send me an e-mail.

3.  If you have a website, add a link on it to my website.  You may also add your link to my free links page.  Also if you want more website hits or visitors or free webmaster services, click here!  If you want to use any autism awareness clipart on your site, visit www.designbycher.com.

4.  Warn childbearing women and parents about mercury and other toxic metals.  It's important for parents to make sure the vaccines their child receives are Thimerosal free.  48 of the U.S. states have a religion exemption for those who don't want to vaccinate.  Childbearing women and infants should avoid seafood with high levels of mercury (tuna, swordfish, shark, king mackerel, tilefish, etc.)  Childbearing women should also avoid dental fillings with mercury.

Check out these books.
