Just think of all that money we will get suing him. Mr. Green

Who not to watch topic

Dr. Phil Evil or Very Mad
Jerry Springer Evil or Very Mad
Steve Wilcos Evil or Very Mad
Maury Povich Evil or Very Mad

Crap:eew: Time wasters.

I think the talk show format is a thing of the past. Ellen, Oprah, Star Jones, and Montel Williams had better be job searching.

Jerry Springer is funny - and about as realistic as WWF.

I wouldn't watch these anyway because its all trash. Late Night talk shows like Leno or Conan or Letterman are fine, because at least they don't try to pass off their sketches as the gospel truth.

Oprah of course will always have a job. I mean she bought the Discovery Health network, for crying out loud.

I'm actually an abortion clinic protester and when people talk about aborting autistic kids - well - that is a DOUBLE NO-NO for me!

One of these days I plan on starting a thread here on Wrong Planet about my experiences as "The Planned Parenthood Protester Aspie" but I haven't gotten around to it just yet. It will be a pretty lengthy thread.

I watched it. It was pretty bad. I don't like the woman's attitude. She talked about putting him in an institution but the child's father wouldn't allow it. She seemed less concerned about her autistic son than how her son affected her life although she did worry about him being abused in an institution. She said, "This is what kind of life I have to live because my doctor couldn't tell me that my son was going to be disabled." She said it's her worst nightmare and wishes she had a normal child and talked about how he affected her life. Dr. Phil thinks he might be better off in an institution.

Interestingly, they mentioned he received tons of antibiotics. Scientific evidence shows that antibiotics reduce the ability to get rid of mercury and may cause yeast/fungal issues that can lead to neurological symptoms and other health problems. The child didn't receive treatment for these issues which may partly explain some of his problems. I think it's sad that the medical community won't cure these treatable problems (yeast/fungal infections) that can improve the lives of those suffering from them.

I'm glad, that I didn't watch it. That woman seems like a real scumbag.

I've been reading the message board, for that episode, though. It's nice to see, that there are a lot of people, who agree with me.

Interestingly, they mentioned he received tons of antibiotics. One study found autistics were given more antibiotics in the first few years of life to treat ear infections. Scientific evidence shows that antibiotics reduce the ability to get rid of mercury and may cause yeast/fungal issues that can lead to autistic symptoms. The child didn't receive treatment for these issues. I think it's sad that the medical community won't cure these treatable problems (yeast/fungal infections) that can improve the lives of those suffering from them.


As much as I cannot stand that SOB, I'm afraid he might have a point here. If the mother is that bad, if she really feels that way and isn't just blowing steam, then that might be worse for that poor child than being in an institution. I almost never agree with institutionalization, but, in some cases, it may really be better. Or maybe the father could divorce the mother and get custody himself; I don't think a judge would have a problem with giving him custody with a mother like that.

I'm pro-choice, but I certainly respect your beliefs and your right to express them. That would definitely be an interesting thread; I know I'd like to read it!

I think the mother just needed some help....

but if she's like, "i don't want him anymore!"

then she doesn't deserve him.

She should've tried to to teach him to walk up the stairs or whatever,
instead of just saying "he can't do it."

Dr. Phil is a bastard.

The mom sounds like a total bitch.

If I was the dad, I'd divorce her right away and get full custody with absolutely no visitation.

NOBODY belongs in an institution.

Sometimes parents just need a break.

Sometimes it feels like we have more than we can handle.

There should be a facility whereby you can submit your child for "minding" for a week. These are often called Grandparents - but not everyone has them - and not all grandparents want to mind kids.

In the old days, when family was closer together, parents and grandparents were generally younger and everyone didn't have to work 24x7, family was always around for support. There's a lot less support now.

Don't go blaming the mother for everything - look to the support networks.
