Subject: What's Causing The Rise In Most Brain Disorders? Worse What If Scientists are correct that they are Partly/Wholely Linked?
With the BBC highlighting yet another rise in another Brain Disorder why is the Gordon Brown's Labour Party not investigating and at least trying to reduce the incidence?
Interesting that whether Alzheimer's, Schizophrenia, Autism, ADHD, Dyspraxia, Speech Delays, Dyslexia, etc , etc, etc the Governments answers to them all IS the same as todays quote:
What causes Alzheimer's?
The causes of Alzheimer's disease are not yet fully understood.
SO THE GOVERNMENT HASN'T A CLUE WHAT'S CAUSING THE HUGE RISE IN MANY BRAIN DISORDERS. WORSE THEY ARE REFUSING TO INVESTIGATE THE GROWING EVIDENCE THAT THEY ARE PARTLY/WHOLLY ALL LINKED.
SO COME ON OPPOSITON MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT AND YOU PROFESSOR MARTIN KNAPP OF THE LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS. YOU ARE ALL GOING TO LOOK PRETTY SILLY IN 10 TO 20 YEARS TIME WHEN IT IS REVEALED THAT YOU CONTRIBUTED TOWARDS THE REASONS WHY THESE CONDITIONS WERE ALLOWED TO EXPLODE I.E. REFUSING TO LOOK AT THE RESEARCH LINKING THEM AND BLOCKING AND OPENLY CRITICISING THOSE THAT MIGHT HAVE ANSWERS
NOT WISHING TO TRY AND SCORE POINTS IT HAS ALREADY BEEN PROVEN TO PROFESSOR MARTIN KNAPP OF THE LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS THAT AUTISM BECAUSE IT'S IMPACT IS OVER THE LIFE TIME OF PEOPLE WITH AUTISM (70 TO 80 YEARS) SIGNIFICANTLY EXECEEDS THE RELEVANT TRIVIAL £BILLIONS OF THAT PROJECTED BY ALZHEIMER'S.
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT AUTISM WILL BE COSTING THIS COUNTRY TRILLIONS OVER THE 70 TO 80 YEAR LIFETIME OF A PERSON WITH AUTISM. FOR THOSE EUROPEAN MP''S IT WILL COST HUNDREDS OF £TRILLIONS THRUOUGHOUT EUROPE.
Dave Cunningham Parent who's severely Autistic Child is being Systematically Abused by Gordon Brown's Labour Party, Executive and Gordon Brown's Constituency (Fife Council)
there is a great deal of research going on into the causes and treatments for autism, but it may not be easy, and i do not think we are well served by people who offer solutions in the absence of good evidence. i'm afraid that, to my mind, something is not always better than nothing. it depends what that something is.

As a parent of a severely Autistic boy I welcome intelligent debate on the subject of why neither the government or medical profession can reduce the incidence of Autism. I assume that Ben Goldacre would not dispute the government figures that 1 in 42 Grandparents in the UK (1 in 25 if the National Autistic Society are to be believed) are guaranteed under the present health system to get a Grandchild that will go on to develop Autism. Neither would Ben disagree with the Labour Party's figures that the numbers of people identified with Autism has increased by 1000 % in the last 10 years.But what really is worrying is why journalists like Mr Goldacre spend so little of their valuable time trying to raise the profile of why things are as bad as they are and to start to fight to get something done about it i.e. he seems to be unaware that there is an ongoing disaster - Autism.
If for no other reason than the sake of Mr Goldacre's future grandchildren or those of his friends and relatives will he at least stop taking the easy route by trying to discredit those who are trying to improve things (Mark Geier). Why does Mr Goldacre not raise the fact that the government and NHS are absolutely Powerless to stop 1 in 42 Grandparents from getting Autistic Grandchildren.
As one parent has already said thru' the 'Titanic' comparison. Autism is the equivalent of the Titanic with Tens of Thousands of lives being destroyed annually but rather than address the problem journalists, Labour Party, Executive and Health Professionals seem more interested in protecting the right of the 'Titanic' to continue it's course in destroying lives than questioning how and why it is on such a course of destruction.
SO MR GOLDACRE PLEASE LEAVE THE CRITICISMS OF THOSE (E.G. Mark Geier) WHO ARE AT LEAST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION OF AUTISM TO OTHERS AND START TO REPORT ON WHY THE GOVERNMENT IS POWERLESS TO STOP AUTISM. AT LEAST THAT WAY YOU'LL INFLUENCE THE POWERS AT BE TO DO SOMETHING TO STOP THE ONGOING DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
