I know this is off topic, and I apologize in advance to those who are not
concerned with this, but I know there are a few people on this list who
might find this information important and I don't have their specific
addresses.
This just popped up on the Celiac list.
Take care,

English researchers last week came out with a controversial
report of a new inflammatory bowel disease with very strong links to
autism and other behavioral problems. Some of the symptoms bear some
relation to severe or advanced stage celiac disease, including swollen
lymph nodes in the GI tract.
Another link with celiac is that it is an autoimmune disease,
apparently set off by the MMV vaccine, the same old measles, mumps and
german measles shots all children get nowadays. The article has set
off quite a storm. It appeared in the latest issue of The Lancet, but
you can get decent summaries on yahoo's health links - it's at the
very top of the list - and I presume on other health links.
I found it very thought-provoking. Parents of autistic children
might be interested in reading about this.

I just realized I forgot to include the name and authors of the
article on a new intestinal autoimmune disease set off ny chidlhood
vaccine:
"Ileal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and
pervasive developmental disorder in children," by A J Wakfield and
others.
The Lancet, Volume 35, No. 9103 Saturday, Feb. 28, 1998.
The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine are the
foremost medical journals in the world. The Lancet has a very good
website, and will shortly provide full texts of articles online. At
the moment, however, you'll just be able to read the abstract of the
article. Full text of commentary is available, though, very sceptical
- it IS controversial.
For those not satisfied with the abstract or the digest on
yahoo's health links, go to a medical library. Most libraries at major
medical centers are federal depositories, and as such must provide
public access. Just ask for the latest issue of The Lancet.
