I am the mother of five children, the youngest Michael or Mickie as we like to call him, was diagnosed with Autism at 22 months old.After years of early intervention therapy, which didn't work. I learned through trial and error that he had underlying biomedical problems that culminated in Autism like symptoms, including, chronic digestive problems since the age of one, when he received the MMR vaccine.
With biomedical interventions, gfcf and SCD diets, Mickie's body is starting to heal. Some of the most severe symptoms, head banging, night waking, self injurious behaviors are almost gone.
He lost all speech by the age of three. He is now 10 years old and has just started to say mama, for the first time in almost 8 years.

This is a very important message from the MIND Institute at the University of
California, Davis regarding Triclosan and its direct connection to causes of Autism. As
many of you are aware, our agency works with MANY children ages birth to three with autism and we have seen an alarming increase in the past 10 years.
Researchers have long believed that children with autism have a 'genetic weakness' that is then triggered by an environmental toxin or event. Dr. Randi Hagerman, a doctor and researchers at the MIND Institute (a premier institute studying causes of autism) recently returned from a conference in London.
Randi's statement to us is: "We have long suspected the chemical Triclosan, and now the research is absolutely conclusive that this chemical is toxic and is the most likely candidate for autism." Dr Hagerman stated very strongly – "do not use any products with triclosan, and do not use plastic bottles with babies – use glass!
Triclosan is found in anti-bacterial soaps, some deodorants, and some toothpaste. Triclosan interferes with myelination in the brain. Researchers are starting to
study triclosan for a possible link to Alzheimers.
You will be alarmed at how many products in your home or at work have triclosan in them as an active ingredient. Recommendations from the MIND Institute, as well as many scientific research groups are strongly suggesting we not use any product with this toxic
ingredient.
Action items
• Avoid all products that make "antibacterial" claims (unless they are using herbs to accomplish it).
• Be aware of the harmful environmental impact of consuming products containing
triclosan. The ingredient is not only unhealthy for humans, it's also unhealthy for the environment.
• Read the ingredients labels of all consumer products in order to make sure they do not contain triclosan.
Mike Adams is a natural health author and technology pioneer recommended the
preceding bullet point action items.

Well that's what I read when I was looking for the products that contain Triclosan. So I posted the link to that page at the bottom of the composition. Of course I don't think this gets the vaccines and all the other toxins off the hook. It's just one piece of the puzzle.

Thanks for the article. Did I understand it correctly that even natural anti-microbials like tea tree oil and grapefruit seed extract are also unsafe?

I know! I have to go through everything I have in my house and get rid of anything with this chemical in it. I'm not taking any chances!!
