Why is there a Skyrocketing Increase of autism?
A study, published by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in 2015 suggests that 1 in 45 children, ages 3
through 17, have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental syndrome detected in early childhood and characterized by
alterations in communication, language, and social interaction and by particular patterns
of interests and behaviors.
A study published in JAMA Pediatrics, finds a link between
antidepressant use during pregnancy and an increased risk of
autism in offspring. Children of women who took antidepressants during the second and third trimesters
of pregnancy were 87 percent more likely to develop autism than kids born
to women who didn't take the drugs, researchers report in JAMA Pediatrics.
A study published in the Journal of the Australasian College of Nutritional & Environmental Medicine
proposed the theory that electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from cell phones, cell towers, and Wi-Fi
devices may be an accelerating factor in autism.
Research is now clearly showing that environmental factors play a primary
role in the epidemic of autism spectrum disorders. Brain disorders
are the result of excessive exposure to toxins from multiple
sources, including the mother, while in utero. The study evaluated children
aged 2 to 5 years, and compared 333 children with autism spectrum
disorder with 198 typically developing children. Statistical analysis revealed that
pyrithrin was the active ingredient
that correlated with these findings and which has been on the market for the past 20 years.
Childhood Vaccination Linked to Autism
A growing number of medical professionals and parents believe that Autism
has been caused by toxic metals and vaccinations. This has been known to
the pharmaceutical industry, the Western governments, and to the health
and medical professions for decades but they have mounted
one of the most slick and collusive denials and distractive tactics ever known.
In the late 1950s children were given 7 doses of vaccines. In the early
Eighties the total number of doses given to children was 11. Today children
are subjected to 69 doses of vaccines. In 1983 vaccine manufacturers have been
indemnified from any legal consequences due to vaccine injuries.
Former Indiana Rep. Dan Burton, who held three years of hearings on the
safety of vaccines published the letter in The Hill calling for Congressional
hearings into the causes of autism, including mercury and vaccines, the
inadequacy of the Federal government's response to the autism epidemic, and the failure of the
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to assure a safe vaccine supply and
provide justice
to those injured by vaccines. No hearings by Congress have been held on these topics since
those chaired by Burton himself. Burton is one of the few elected officials in the United
States to have the courage and intellectual honesty to confront the autism epidemic
and the many, many questions raised by a honest review of the facts.
"From anthrax to hepatitis to d-tap, which is given to infants to protect them,
numerous vaccines contain mercury, a harmful preservative. Parents
around this country I am sure would be very upset if they knew that.
Scientific evidence continues to accumulate regarding the biologically plausible connection between mercury and thimerosal,
autism and other neurological, developmental disorders. We have one
in 10,000 children 10 years ago that were autistic. Now it's one in 150 and
scientists before my committee say it's because in large part of the mercury
in the vaccines". Congressman Dan Burton, Oct 1, 2003
Using statistical analysis and data from the US Government, UK, Denmark and Western Australia, scientists at Sound
Choice Pharmaceutical Institute (SCPI) found that increases in Autism correspond with the introduction of vaccines
using human fetal cell lines and retroviral contaminants. University of
Pittsburgh (UP) in Pennsylvania revealed that many of the infant
monkeys given standard doses of childhood vaccines as part of the new research
developed autism symptoms. Parents continue to fear that
childhood vaccines can cause a host of adverse effects ranging from immune dysfunction
to attention deficit disorder and autism.
Rebecca Carley, M.D. - "Although the symptoms of mercury poisoning are identical to the symptoms
of autism, it should be noted that most children who descend into the hellish state known as autism do
so after the MMR vaccine. The MMR vaccine is one of the few vaccines that do not contain mercury.
Thus, it is self-evident that the removal of mercury will not make vaccines "safe". (This is why
the mercury is the only thing being addressed at all because when the people reading this paper
realize that the very mechanism by which vaccines corrupt the immune system means that
NO vaccine is safe and effective.
"During the past few years the Autism Research Institute (ARI) has been flooded with an upsurge in pleas for help from
parents throughout the world, from wherever the World Health Organization
vaccine guidelines are followed. The majority of these parents say their children
were normal until getting the MMR, another triple vaccine. Let me dispel
several myths promoted by those who deny the autism-vaccine connection: They
claim the vaccines are safe, but physicians are indoctrinated to disbelieve
claims of harm and are not trained to recognize nor required to report any adverse
reactions. From 90% to 99% of the adverse reactions reported to doctors are
never reported by those doctors to the government's extremely lax Vaccine
Adverse Event Reporting System, known as the VAERS."

Dr. Andrew Wakefield M.D reveals the inside story of the vaccine-autism
connection. As Andrew Wakefield states in his
prologue, If autism does not affect your family now, it will. If something
does not change and change soon this is almost a mathematical certainty. It is not a parochial look at a trivial medical
spat in the United Kingdom, but dispatches from the battlefront in a major confrontation a
struggle against compromise in medicine, corruption of science, and a real and
present threat to children in the interests of policy and profit. It is a story
of how the system deals with dissent among its doctors and scientists.
F Yazbak MD - "This report describes six mothers who received
live virus vaccines and one who received a Hepatitis B vaccine during pregnancy
after having received an MMR booster five months prior to conception. All the
children who resulted from these pregnancies have had developmental problems,
six out seven (85%) were diagnosed with autism, and the seventh seems to exhibit
symptoms often associated with autistic spectrum disorders."

Low Glutathione Levels Linked to Autism
A study investigated the relationship of children's autism
symptoms with their toxic metal body burden and red blood cell (RBC) glutathione levels. In children
ages 3-8 years, the severity of autism was assessed using four tools: ADOS,
PDD-BI, ATEC, and SAS. Toxic metal body burden was assessed by measuring urinary
excretion of toxic metals, both before and after oral dimercaptosuccinic acid
(DMSA).
Multiple positive correlations were found between the severity of autism
and the urinary excretion of toxic metals. Variations in the severity of autism
measurements could be explained, in part, by regression analyses of urinary
excretion of toxic metals before and after DMSA and the level of RBC glutathione
(adjusted R2 of 0.22-0.45, p<0.005 in all cases). This study demonstrates
a significant positive association between the severity of autism and the relative
body burden of toxic metals.
Related: Severity of Autism
Is Associated With Toxic Metal Body Burden and Red Blood Cell Glutathione Levels
Dr. Jill James, Professor of Pediatrics at University of Arkansas for Medical
Sciences, will be a co investigator. Dr. James is noted for her landmark studies
in autism and toxicology and is among the first scientists to point out the
links with low glutathione levels. We know that in other studies very effectively in areas such as cancer
and lung disease. We want to take advantage of this same technology”,
stated James.
Studies have shown that levels of the major
intracellular antioxidant Glutathione
is typically about 50% lower in children with autism. Glutathione, which is
produced by every cell in the body, is responsible for a number of functions
including removing or neutralizing dangerous substances that we are exposed
to on a daily basis, including toxic metals. Toxins, pollution, disease, stress,
and poor diet can all contribute to loss of glutathione. When glutathione levels
reach a critically low degree, we are much more vulnerable to toxins and immune
dysfunction.
Principal investigator for
this study is Dr. Janet Kern, an adjunct assistant professor of psychiatry
at UT Southwestern, which is internationally recognized for its clinical and
research programs. "Some children with autism are poor detoxifiers relative
to normally developing children, and in particular, have trouble excreting toxic
metals." said Dr. Kern. "Toxic metals that are not eliminated may
build up in the brain. Plasma glutathione has been found to be lower in children
with autism, particularly, in children with autism who have regressed. We want
to clearly establish that raising glutathione levels in these children will
improve their ability to detoxify these substances and in that way improve some
of their symptoms."
There is Hope of Recovery for Autism
In a landmark study, Dr. H. Hugh Fudenberg, M.D. found that of 22 Autistic children, 21
improved significantly and 10 were considered to be recovered and mainstreamed in their
schools following a unique immune system modulation treatment.
After the treatment was discontinued, some showed regression, but none returned
to their prior baseline levels. Dr. Fudenberg used the lymphocyte based Transfer Factor
in his treatment, and while these results have been replicated using that treatment
protocol, they have not been replicated using the colostrum based treatment.
Our son Nason was born in November 2002 happy, healthy and beautiful.
He developed normally and reached all of his milestones. After Nason received his 1st
year immunizations, he completely withdrew from us and the rest of the world, spending
the majority of his time staring at his fingers, spinning, or gazing into space.
His preferred companion was a pen or any other vertical object he could find.
He lost his ability to walk up and down the stairs, feed himself and began to
self-select foods leaving him with a total of 2 foods in his diet. Nason also
broke out with severe eczema all over his body and became irritable anytime we tried to cuddle with him.
I suspected autism and had Nason evaluated by the State's local Birth to 3
program who later recommended that Nason have the maximum amount of speech, OT,
and education that the State offered for children at this developmental state.
The case worker revealed to me that Nason exhibited classic symptoms of autism
and shortly, thereafter, he received his official diagnosis. I was devastated
but knew I had to do everything I could to help him. We followed through with
the DAN protocol and conducted several biological tests which determined that
Nason had excessive amounts of mercury, aluminum and cadmium as well as severe yeast overgrowths throughout his body.
We immediately placed Nason on the gluten /casein/sugar free diet as well as other DAN protocol
treatments such as vitamin therapy, probiotics, and enzymes. We followed this protocol for about
11 months and saw some improvement. Nason's eczema cleared and he developed eye-contact as well
as a few words, but he still clearly was autistic. Even though, we loved our child unconditionally,
we still had hope that there was something more for him.
During my research in the past year, I always came across something called
"glyconutrients". I pretty much dismissed this as another
vitamin supplement and didn't give it much thought. However, considering we hit
a plateau with his progress, I decided it was time to seriously research this product
to determine if it was right for Nason.
I came in contact with Shirley, the founder of a holistic health website who educated
me not only on the essentials and benefits of a product that modulates the immune system.
We started him on immune modulator supplement in addition to this other biological treatments.
Within 2 days of taking these products, Nason went into detoxification mode. Considering all
of the treatments we had administered in the past, Nason had never
experienced a healing crisis until now. Some of his symptoms consisted of diarrhea, pounded his feet
on the floor, hyperactivity, and increased stimming. Although, it was difficult to see Nason in
such distress, I knew that this was a sign of his healing. Finally, the toxins were finding
a way out of his body!!! This initial die-off lasted approximately 2 weeks and suddenly we saw a new Nason emerge.
Before, I started these products; I was advised that it may take up to 3 months before
I saw any progress in Nason's state. So you can imagine my surprise when he started using
3-4 word sentences, initiating conversation, putting his head on my shoulder spontaneously
(he hadn't done this since he was an infant), and reaching out for affection only 2 ½ weeks
after the initial die-off. Nason's teachers were even amazed when he started played
with a helicopter appropriately instead of gazing at it for periods of time. He also
became anxious when I left the room. In the past, he wasn't concerned with my whereabouts
and now he calls out "ma, where are you?" when I leave the room. His penchant for
vertical objects had also become less appealing. My husband and I were amazed and
floored that he improved so quickly after taking these products and realized they
were the key factors in activating Nason's healing. We are so grateful for the
healing that Nason has had after only one month and look forward to a full recovery with the help of these products.

Microbiome Influence in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Medical studies to date have surveyed how gut microbiome changes may affect
neurobehavioral disorders. They hypothesized that a gut-brain link may account
for some autistic cases. With the characterization of the human microbiome, this
concept has been expanded to include the microbiota-gut-brain axis.
Based on the premise that gut microbiota
alterations may be causative agents in ASD, several therapeutic options
have been tested, such as diet modulations, prebiotics, probiotics,
synbiotics, postbiotics, antibiotics, fecal transplantation, and activated charcoal
A Drug-Free Approach to Autism and Asperger Syndrome
In
"Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy" author Amy Lansky tells the incredible
story of how she used homeopathy to cure her son of autism.
Although Lansky is not a medical professional, she has a Ph.D. from Stanford
and worked for NASA as a researcher. She has more than enough scientific training
to provide a compelling and easy to understand description of how homeopathy
can be used to treat "incurable conditions" like autism.
Basically, the book is a general introduction to homeopathy and its view
of health, disease and cure. Its coverage is so broad and deep that many homeopathic
training programs are adopting it as a text for their students. At the same
time, even more homeopaths are adopting it as their primary patient education
book. Because the book also includes dozens of first-person testimonials of
healing, for a wide variety of ailments, people from all backgrounds--from complete
novice to seasoned practitioner--have found it quite entertaining. One of these
testimonials is a chapter on my son's cure from autism--creating another important
audience for this book: parents of autistic children.
Overall, I can promise you that “Impossible Cure” is not a dry,
boring book on homeopathy. It takes a rather intense, personal look at how the
traditional medical system has failed us and how homeopathy may be the answer
to many people's health problems.
Children With Autism Get Day in Court
Law Suit Against Pharmaceutical Companies
The parents of 12-year-old Michelle
Cedillo asked a federal court Monday to find that their child's autism was caused
by common childhood vaccines, a precedent-setting case that could pave the way
for thousands of autistic children to receive compensation from a government
fund set up to help people injured by the shots.
Law Suit Against Pharmaceutical
Companies Citing Vaccines Contained Poisonous Mercury:
"On July 7, 1999, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued with the US
Public Health Service (USPHS) a joint statement alerting clinicians and the
public of concern about thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative used in
some vaccines.
Parents of now grown vaccine injured children, who warned pediatricians and
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) officials in the 1980’s that their once
healthy, bright children regressed mentally, emotionally and physically after
reacting to DPT vaccine with fever, high pitched screaming (encephalitic cry),
collapse/shock, and seizures, are grieving with a new generation of parents
whose healthy, bright children suddenly regress after DPT/DTaP, MMR, hepatitis
B, polio, Hib and chicken pox vaccinations. The refusal two decades ago by vaccine
manufacturers, government health agencies and medical organizations to seriously
investigate reports of vaccine-associated brain injury and immune system dysfunction,
including autistic behaviors, is reaping tragic consequences today.
Thursday 16 June 2005 - When a study revealed that mercury
in childhood vaccines may have caused autism in thousands of kids, the government
rushed to conceal the data - and to prevent parents from suing drug companies
for their role in the epidemic.
The Autism Research Institute (ARI)
A non-profit organization, was established in 1967. ARI is primarily devoted
to conducting research, and to disseminating the results of research, onthe
causes of autism and on methods of preventing, diagnosing and treating autism
and other severe behavioral disorders of childhood. Some topics include:
- Is Autism a G-Alpha Protein Defect Reversible with Natural Vitmain A?
- Vitamin C in the Prevention and Treatment of Autism
- Recovery from autism is possible
- Dimethylglycine (DMG), a nontoxic metabolite, and autism
F. Edward Yazbak, M.D, FAAP - "The just released Report on Autism to the California
Legislature, shows a massive and persistent rise in the incidence of this disease.
"In the past 10 years, California has had a 273% increase in the number of children
with autism who enter the developmental services system---1,685 new cases last
year alone" said State Senate President pro Tem John Burton in a press conference,
following the release of the report. This spectacular increase reported was
evident in all regional centers from San Diego to Eureka."

How Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy's Son Recovered From Autism
Carrey
and McCarthy's son, Evan, has been healed thanks to breakthroughs
that may not be scientifically proven, but have definitely helped, such as a
gluten-free diet, casein-free diet, vitamin supplementation,
detox of metals, and anti-fungals for the yeast overgrowths that plagued his
intestines. Once his neurological function was recovered through these medical
treatments, speech therapy and applied behavior analysis helped him learn the
skills he could not learn while he was frozen in autism.

Each child is different - Whatever may be the diagnosis
or symptoms, each child is, of course, unique, and each child may need any one
of the more than 2000 medicines in our homeopathic materia medica. It is only
through an extensive understanding of each youngster through the process of
homeopathic case-taking, that a homeopath can arrive at the indicated medicine.
This process can be even more challenging with children on the autistic spectrum,
especially when they cannot readily communicate; in these cases, the precise
words of the child can be fascinating pointers to the correct medicine. Fortunately,
there are other indicators as well to guide a homeopath to an effective prescription.
It is important to seek the care of a qualified homeopathic practitioner, preferably
one experienced in the treatment of children with psychiatric and behavioral
problems
