England's rate of autism had stayed flat since the 2000s. To what is this at- tributed? Why is the incidence so much higher in the male population?
Is there any way that children can be vaccinated in the “old fashioned” way? My kids were born in the 1960s and had the older vaccines, which ap- pear not to have contributed to autism. I have also been wondering whether the same vaccines are given around the world. If not, what is the variable?
I am constantly at a loss to under- stand how scientists can fail to investi- gate such an enormous problem to the greatest of depths—except in the case of such scientists like Stephanie Seneff and a few others, whose findings are not included in any assessments by the CDC and other government agencies.
Thank you for your great efforts to keep us informed on such important

good film to watch about this is Vaxxed, vaxxedthemovie.com. Vaccines have always had serious side effects. Vacci- nating “the old-fashioned way” simply means that fewer vaccines were given. There is no such thing as “greening our vaccines.” The nature of vaccines is such that they always contain toxic preservatives and adjuvants. We also don’t know who will be harmed by even a single vaccine. The same vaccines are not given in every case around the world. For instance, the live polio vaccine is no longer given in the U.S., but is still given in less developed na- tions. And the mercury-based additive thimerosal, while not used as much in the U.S., is still in use in vaccines aimed at Third World countries. Pharma- ceutical companies also tend to bring out experimental vaccines in the third world. For more resources, visit the WAPF vaccine page at westonaprice. org/vaccinations/.
CHANGES IN EVERY SPECTRUM OF LIFE
Every aspect of my entire life changed when I discovered the Wise Traditions diet. I understood food in a way that I never had before. I understood what it meant to be truly nourished from the inside out in a way that went against so much of what I was hearing in the media and in other “food journals.” I realized why I was feeling less than great on a then eight-month vegetarian diet. I understood my con- tinuous draw towards animal foods and animal fats in a way that didn't make me feel guilty anymore. I started eat- ing as close to the Wise Traditions diet as possible and had a dramatic shift in
how I felt within my body. From then on, I have felt incredibly happy with my decisions around food, and my body and mind were the proof I could share when anyone asked me about my controversial food choices.
I support this diet philosophy 100 percent while also respecting the way others choose to eat that may be different from my own. At the end of the day, it's about your body and what makes you feel like you're thriving from within, able to create and take an active part in your life from a place of full energy, vitality and well-being. I highly recommend the work of the Weston A. Price Foundation. I have seen changes in every spectrum of my life—mood, energy, vitality, spirituality and well- being.

BINGE LISTENING
The last few days, I've been
binge-listening to the Wise Traditions podcasts. Each episode features a dif- ferent guest, and they're jam-packed with information about eating real, traditional foods. Near and dear to my heart are the episodes that discuss farm- ing, gardening and animal husbandry, but I must say the lessons on healing our bodies through food are absolutely mind-blowing. I can't get enough! I'm addicted to the way this real food and real living makes me feel! Now it's time to dig deeper and keep up this momen- tum!

Kendall Nelson, WAPF vaccine point person, replies: Regarding autism rates, a consistent finding is that when countries have high numbers of man- dated or recommended vaccines, they tend to have higher rates of autism—as do the U.S., Canada, Australia, Japan, United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark, Brazil, Portugal and Hong Kong. In the UK, about one in one hundred people have autism; these rates continue to rise they have not stayed flat. The rea- son often given for that rise is “better diagnosis,” not greater prevalence. There is definitely a higher incidence of autism in males. However, we need more research to figure out why. A
