Things at our health department changed when they were required to be accredited through the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB). This is when the health departments started to reflect national interests instead of local and started using the same public health lingo. They must be accredited to apply for grants.

I applied to speak at the annual NACCHO conference a few years back. My application was very straightforward and non-controversial. It focused on rising autism prevalence and cost and highlighted a couple studies that have linked toxicants with autism. My application was rejected right away and it all felt very odd (I'm more qualified than their usual speakers). Now I see that they are the foxes guarding the tasty tasty chickens.

Wow. Thank you for sharing. I wasn’t aware of how actively this particular drug was withheld, although it’s not surprising considering how other treatments were suppressed. Your son was lucky to have an advocate like you. So much choice was removed to accommodate agenda. I hope he is fully recovered and doing well now.
