(NaturalNews) John Travolta, who is testifying in a case involving a $25 million extortion attempt against him, revealed this week that his son who died this year from a seizure was autistic. Sixteen-year-old Jett suffered from severe seizures every 5 to 10 days, Travolta testified, and then slept 12 hours to recover after each episode.
It's not uncommon for autistic children to suffer from severe seizures. This is an important clue about the causes of autism, as seizures reflect a serious neurological complication. It brings to mind possible neurological toxins that children are being exposed to these days, including thimerosal and squalene found in vaccines.
A new U.S. government study just released this week says that autism rates in U.S. children have risen 200% over the last six years. This is an alarming increase in a disease that many ill-informed doctors and scientists still brush off as being genetic in origin. But genes can't explain such a rapid increase in the number of children being diagnosed with the disease. Clearly, some other factor is at work, and many parents suspect vaccines are one of the primary contributing factors.
Naturally, there is a lot of chatter on the 'net right now about John Travolta's son and the vaccine issue.
Respect Travolta's privacyNot every parent with an autistic child chooses to go public with that fact. Travolta himself is being criticized by some in the autism community for not going public sooner with the autism diagnosis of his son, but in my view, this is unfair criticism. People who have never been famous have no idea about the pressures that come with notoriety. Aside from having your privacy routinely violated by tabloid photographers and gold-digging "friends," as a famous person you're also a ripe target for extortion attempts by criminally-minded people, which is precisely what John Travolta is having to deal with right now.
Travolta had no special moral obligation to declare the autistic diagnosis of his son, and those who berate him for choosing to protect the privacy of his family are acting out of extreme insensitivity (if not outright cruelty). Just because Travolta's son suffered from a particular diagnosis doesn't mean he's obligated to be a spokesperson for that disease. Besides, John Travolta probably realizes what many parents of autistic children are already figuring out: That certain segments of the autism "support" community have been co-opted by Big Pharma in an attempt to divert blame away from vaccines.
Overall, the autism support community is very well informed about the links between vaccines and autism, but they are increasingly pressured by powerful pharmaceutical interests to dissociate the two and create doubt or confusion in the minds of those who might suspect any link between vaccines and autism.
As a member of Scientology, Travolta is well aware of the dangers of pharmaceutical intervention. Scientology is ardently outspoken against psychiatric drugs and the dangers of drugging children with mind-altering chemicals. It is not known to NaturalNews whether Travolta's son actually received vaccine injections in years past, but it seems likely that he did, considering that he was 16 years old and many of the evidence linking vaccines to autism did not surface until only the past few years.
It could be that, like many parents, Travolta allowed his son to be vaccinated at a young age, and then swore off all vaccinations years later as he became aware of the true dangers of vaccines (but this is just conjecture). I have no doubt, however, that if Travolta had the opportunity to do it all over again, he would have kept his son as far away as possible from modern medicine's chemical interventions. This is increasingly true with a growing number of parents, by the way, not just John Travolta or followers of Scientology.
