Generation Rescue
A parent-founded, parent-funded, and parent-led organization of more than 350 families. Their mission is to share the truth with parents about the cause of their child’s Neurological Disorders (ADD/ADHD, Asperger’s, PDD-NOS, and Autism) so they can focus on treatment. They believe these neurological disorders (“NDs”) are environmental illnesses caused by an overload of heavy metals, live viruses, and bacteria. Proper treatment of these children, known as “biomedical intervention”, is leading to recovery for thousands. The cause of this epidemic of NDs is extremely controversial. They believe the primary causes include the tripling of vaccines given to children in the last 15 years (mercury, aluminum and live viruses); maternal toxic load and prenatal vaccines; heavy metals like mercury in our air, water, and food; and the overuse of antibiotics.
