People outside the alternative health community are often confused by the lack of autism in the Amish people. The Amish do not experience autism, or most of the other learning disabilities that plague our technological society. They live in a society that consists of outdated technologies and ideals, at least by contemporary standards. Their diet consists of eating organic, fresh, locally-grown produce, and of course, they do not follow the established vaccination routines. To the dismay of the mainstream media and the medical establishment, this has resulted in a healthier people, who are void of all of our chronic diseases. Heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are virtually non-existent in Amish villages. Equally non-existent are our modern, chemically-engineered medicines, enhanced (chemically engineered) foods, G.M.O. (genetically engineered) foods, and of course, vaccines. How is it that those who are without the so-called “miracles” of modern orthodox medicine are healthier? The truth about health, medicine, and how they both relate to the Amish has become an embarrassment to some rather powerful people.
There have been 3 (yes three) verified cases of autism in the Amish, and two of those children were vaccinated. No information is available for the third child, who was likely vaccinated himself. The strong correlation between vaccinations and autism is becoming undeniable, unless you work for the medical establishment, the government, or Big Media. Proponents of the status quo actually claim that the Amish must have a super gene that makes them immune to autism. They rationalize that autism must be some type of genetic failure, which attacks brains based on religious affiliations. It is truly the best of F.D.A. and A.M.A. science in all its shining glory. Vaccine proponents are willing to espouse any ridiculous explanation, so long as they do not have to accept that their industry is causing chronic disease. Due to all their help, children in the United States have a stunning 2% chance of developing autism, and that percentage is growing rapidly.
Beware When The G’ Man Comes Knocking
The Amish are constantly harassed by health officials, who attempt to convince them to vaccinate their children. Whilst most Amish still refuse to vaccinate their children, a small minority are beginning to succumb to the scare tactics. This continues despite the fact that health officials actually have no legal right to visit peoples’ homes and harass them into accepting these poisons. As more of the Amish vaccinate, the autism rates in their community will rise. Fortunately, the majority of the Amish still contend that vaccinations are against God’s will, which interestingly enough, does indeed seem to be bringing about many health blessings.
Many of the viruses which children are vaccinated against are no longer circulating. However, fear tactics by the media have led frightened parents to vaccinate their children against these viruses anyway. One of those viruses is polio. Dr. Sherri Tenpenny reported that the most recent case seen in the Western Hemisphere was in Peru, in 1991. The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) declared the Western hemisphere free of Polio in 1994. Such inconvenient figures are not cited by the mainstream media, doctors, or the American Medical Association.
On October 14, 2005, the media swung into hysteria after the vaccine-strain of the polio virus was found in the stools of four Amish children. The media initially declined to mention that it was the chemically-inactivated version, which is only found inside the orally-given vaccine. This means that the source for the out-break was the vaccine itself. The situation was sensationally exploited to terrorize parents who had been avoiding vaccines.
Big Business: Intentionally Creating a Paralyzing Pandemic
The horrors of polio were greatly exaggerated by the allopathic establishment’s across-the-board removal of tonsils, which is the only organ that produces polio antibodies. Around the same time, the newly-created F.D.A. began suppressing the use of silver in medicines, which was the only safely-digestable substance that was known to kill viruses (like polio). Finally, ‘the solution’ that industry desired, namely a vaccine, was released at the time that the epidemic was naturally ending, so that the industry’s vaccine could be given credit. All of this was orchestrated to manipulate the masses into buying into vaccines, radiation, and chemistry for health.
“During the polio epidemics, it was found that people who had their tonsils removed were 3 – 5 times more likely to develop paralysis… There were many at that time that suggested that polio was an iatrogenic disease [caused by the medical establishment] … we caused thousands of cases of paralysis. We did not cause the polio, but we converted people who would have recovered from a viral illness into people with a paralytic illness.”
— Dr. Mark Donohoe
With vaccinations, we convert people who may have had natural immune-strengthening infections like the flu, or chickenpox into people who have life-changing disorders like autism. None of the Amish children who had polio in their stools experienced paralysis, or any other horrific symptoms. That fortunate conclusion to their infections is likely the result of them lacking the ‘miracles’ of allopathic medicine.
We must wonder how four Amish children who live in an isolated community managed to become exposed to the unique chemically-inactivated vaccine strain of the polio virus. It is more than likely that such a thing was intentional, especially when the harassment by local health officials is considered. In addition, the vaccine strain that was discovered had not been used for five years, due to the possibility of it causing paralysis. After all, if some Amish children were to get sickened by the polio virus, the Amish may all rush to get their children vaccinated, and the science of vaccinations is proven with a wink and a nod.
The manner in which this was reported is very telling. For instance, if the vaccine strain of the polio virus was found in a normal child, would the media have made the story into front page news? Would it even have been reported? The Washington Post explained that both state and federal officials had informed them of the story. Misleading titles such as, “Polio Outbreak Occurs Among Amish Families In Minnesota” were then used to manipulate resistant parents with bio-terrorism.
When the Amish are simply left alone, to live free of chemical toxins found in our medicines and foods, they are not plagued with diseases, learning disabilities, or autism. They are categorically more intelligent, with the exception of advanced (college-level) writing skills, which is explainable by the fact that English is not their primary language. Could it be those same Amish ‘super genes’ at work again? Society could learn greatly from their example, if we would only stop poisoning ourselves, and our children on a routine basis.
The Information War
Opposition websites often claim that vaccinations are normal in the Amish community, and so is autism. These are lies. While there may be some small Amish groups which vaccinate, and thus have autism; neither is normal. The United Press, in conjunction with Generation Rescue, published a story about the rates of autism in an Amish community in Pennsylvania.
Reporter Dan Olmsted went searching for the autistic Amish. Statistically, there should have been around 130 Amish in the community he examined. Dan discovered 3 cases. The first was an adopted Chinese girl, who had suffered through all of her vaccinations on the same day. The second developed symptoms within 24 hours after getting vaccinated, and there was no information about the third case. The reporter even spoke with the local allopathic doctor, who the Amish sometimes visit whenever herbs and supplements do not suffice (ie. broken bones). The doctor admitted that he had never seen autism in the community.
Dr. Max Wiznitzer of University Hospitals in Cleveland is an expert witness for the government, and he fights against families who file for compensation in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. He made a mistake when he admitted that autism rates in the Amish community are somewhere around 1 in 10,000. The rate for the rest of us is now about 1 in 50, and growing rapidly. The numbers are actually skewed against the Amish, since a tiny portion of their children are secretly vaccinated now.
We are waiting for real outbreaks of autism in the unvaccinated Amish. If you’re still unsure about the cause of autism, and are looking for studies then read, How To Cure Autism and The Time Bomb of Mercury Poisoning. Studies which purportedly disprove the link between autism and vaccinations have all been funded by the pharmaceutical industry. Truly independent studies have repeatedly shown the clear relationship.
No vaccine has ever undergone any independent, controlled, double-blind studies to determine safety and effectiveness. Seriously. Read the studies yourself, research extensively, and do the right thing. Opt out of vaccinations with a religious or philosophical exemption to defend your child. The public schools cannot legally turn you away if you do that, so learn your rights, and use them! Do it, or someday your own children may curse you for not doing the right thing.

There so much nonsense and falsehood in this article that it’s not even funny.
Please either rewrite this article using current information, or delete it and stop perpetuating stupidity among the ignorant, cowardly, internet-surfing masses who don’t have the grey matter to know any better.
Thanks.
quoted from http://www.virology.ws/2009/03/09/polio-among-the-amish/
“The last outbreak of poliomyelitis in the United States occurred in 1979, when a type 1 strain imported from the Netherlands caused 13 paralytic cases among unvaccinated Amish communities in three states.”
The community leaders convinced the amish to then vaccinate to protect the non-amish.
The whole “autism caused by vaccinations” issue began when a falsified research study was printed in a reputable medical journal. It caused great concern in the medical fraternity for some time until it was shown to have been bogus. Not by one, but by several reputable and independent studies. Not withstanding the clear evidence of the fraud and the original research scientist being totally discredited beyond any reasonable doubt, the conspiracy nutters have been trying desperately to keep the myth alive ever since. Yes, if you search among the thousands of independent articles written on the topic you probably will find the 1% of fringe alternative practitioners of dubious notoriety who keep the myth alive.
The evidence is surely clear to see for all of us. Go back 100 years to the time before modern western medicine, food preservatives and other methods used today to keep us safe and look at the quality of life and longevity that we enjoy today.
When I was at high school in the 60’s, my friend suffered a natural withered leg and callipers as a result of natural polio. The kids with natural epilepsy where having their natural fits on a regular basis and the kids that had not naturally died as a result of their natural asthma all sat in their naturally emaciated, hollow chested, bodies on the side line on sports day unable to compete.
Now, thanks to modern medicines (synthetic chemicals, toxins, deadly drugs or whatever you want to call them) the asthmatic kids (pumped full of debilitating steroids and other toxins) cannot be identified any more because they not only nearly all survive, but are as tubby and healthy as all the other kids on the block and compete in almost any sport they choose and can be competitive as well. No more kids in our country get polio. The quality of life for everyone living so much longer is improved out of sight with everything from (synthetic, unnatural drugs) fluid tablets for their oedemous puffy ankles to artificial bypasses supported by heaps of toxic drugs brought about by people eating far too much natural fat etc, etc.
There are a hell of a lot people in our western civilization who are still with us and are not naturally dead as they should be, enjoying a perfectly unnatural healthy life due to modern medicine.
I simply cannot see what’s wrong with that.
We live in a free world and if the medical profession talk the parents of a 4 year old with leukaemia into chemotherapy (with drugs that have huge side effects and risks) to give him a 90% chance of survival instead of an 85% chance of dying (as was the case before chemotherapy), then good on them.
Dear author of this poorly researched article, the Amish get autism at a rate of 1 in 271 children. See study posted below:
https://imfar.confex.com/imfar/2010/webprogram/Paper7336.html
Perhaps they have members with autism. But since their society is not as open as the rest, the informtion of special children is not reported.
The Amish, in fact, DO get autism. And they DO eat GMO foods. More importantly, believe it or not, they ARE getting vaccines. That doesn’t mean Dan Olmsted’s (no relation to me) research was wrong. it’s just years old, and outdated. When I was still working for the newspaper, I interviewed Amish folks often. In 2009 I had the opportunity to interview young families in the heart of northeast Indiana’s Amish community. While the story wasn’t about autism, I was curious about it because of Dan Olmsted’s wonderfully insightful investigations years before about autism and the Amish.
So I simply asked the Amish families if they had anyone in their community with autistic children. Surprisingly, they said yes. One mom said she had a cousin with two children diagnosed with autism. So I followed up with the natural question: Were those two vaccinated? Her answer was YES–then she and her husband exchanged deep looks, and the husband asked, did it make a difference? The mother, who was clutching a 6-month-old in her arms, echoed her husband:
“Does it matter?” she pressed. “Do vaccines have something to do with it?” Very carefully, I explained that some “English” believe their children’s autism was caused by vaccines. And then we talked about why Amish children in northeast Indiana are now being vaccinated… one of the main reasons is that more and more children are attending public schools, where the pressure to vaccinate is intense. Also, more and more Amish children are being born in hospitals where the hep B vaccine gets stabbed into the infant without the mother even knowing.
As far as eating organic, well some of them do, but many have resorted to “English” ways of eating. Go to any Walmart or local Aldi’s and you’ll see Amish folks with their grocery carts loaded down with processed, junk foods–which you know are GMO-based.
So please, before you make sweeping outdated statements about Amish not getting autism, you need to realize they ARE getting autism… just as they ARE getting vaccines and eating GMO foods. It’s just a matter of time before their numbers will be the same or nearly equal that of the “English.” I don’t work for newspapers anymore. But someone who does work for major media needs to do this story while there are still a few fundamentalist non-vaccinating Amish left to interview about autism before it’s too late, before they’re all vaccinated and GMO’d up.
You know what they call alternative medicine that’s proven effective?
Medicine.
Someone isn’t doing their research. I live smack dab in the middle of the Amish community in NE Ohio. The visiting nurse from the health dept. comes to an Amish home & I transport the Moms & their children to get their shots. They do have children with autism, but they are referred to as “Special needs children”, and they do go to a Special school. Heart disease is common in a lot of the families because they marry cousins and have children born with holes in their hearts. Cancer is just as common as it is in our community, and I have known some young Amish who have died from it. They do use a lot of alternative medications to fight it, but the cancer always wins.
The Amish raise better behaved children than us Yankee folks and they are a joy to be around! What has amazed me is hardly any of the women nurse their babies anymore, and I really expected them to. Personally, I think there should be a study on children that are nursed instead of being fed formulas. Bet the bottle fed formula babies grow up to have more health problems than breast fed children.
