UPDATE.
www.Vaxx.com is an excellent vaccine
website. It contains 7005 vaccine
injury stories. Some of the
vaccine injuries caused autism.
UPDATE.
A medical study
found that low levels of zinc and magnesium, which is common, are associated
with the development of autism. The
reference is https://www.nature.com/articles/srep01199
UPDATE. A recent
medical study measured the aluminum content of the brains of five individuals
with autism. They found
consistently elevated levels of aluminum in these peopleÕs brains. Many vaccines are preserved with
aluminum. The reference is https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0946672X17308763.

********************
Autism is a thought and behavioral disorder that usually develops early in life. It is now occurring around the world at epidemic rates! In America, about one of every 100 girls and about one of every 60 boys has some degree of autism.
The basic cause is
toxic metals and nutrient deficiencies.
When the metals are removed and the nutrition corrected, the problem
goes away.
Anyone who listens to parentsÕ stories of
how autism developed in their child knows that vaccination is the most common
cause of the condition. This
is heavily suppressed in the media, however, to keep the vaccination scam
going. Vaccines are often
preserved with mercury and aluminum compounds.
Parents need to know that your doctor will lose his license to practice medicine if he tells you the truth about vaccination. Most doctors are scared to death of their medical boards, so they remain silent instead of speaking up. A few do not listen to parents, so they donÕt know the truth.
Television, radio, internet or print media reporters and announcers can also lose their jobs if they report on the horror of vaccination. Therefore, you will not hear the truth about vaccination from anyone within the medical profession or who works with or for any of their organizations.
The Amish studies. In medical studies of the Amish people, who do not vaccinate their children, autism is basically non-existent. One case was reported, and that child had been vaccinated before entering the Amish community. The Amish studies alone serve as proof that vaccination is the main cause of autism, but these studies are suppressed.
The Amish do not eat particularly well, and their genetics is no better than anyone elseÕs. (One hears nonsense that the problem is genetic, and so on.)
Fortunately, a complete development program, which can be started as early as 4 months of age, is excellent to help prevent and correct autism. In our experience, this program is far better than the programs offered by the DAN doctors, and much less costly.
A newer hair analysis pattern called the anchor has taught us much about how a development program helps the brain. For more details, read Anchors And Pivots.
The epidemic. According to a recent article, autism spectrum disorder is now diagnosed in America in about 1 of every 50 children. It is now occurring around the world, especially in the developed nations of the world.
According to California records,
autism has increased 1000% in the past 20 years! Autism used to account for 3% of the caseload of the
California Department of Economic Security. As of 2012, it accounted for at least 35% of the caseload
and costs taxpayers about $2 million per child! Lifetime care costs are easily five times higher.
The conventional medical
profession is not addressing autism effectively. In fact, their toxic methods such as vaccination and
antibiotics cause or worsen the problem.
The licensed Naturopathic Colleges in America require their students to
be vaccinated at this time (2019), so obviously they are not teaching the
truth, either.
This article discusses the
causes for autism, natural approaches to helping autistic children, and autism
prevention.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Most autism is diagnosed around
age 2. However, it is helpful to
know much earlier if a baby is having problems because a development program
can be started as early as 4 months of age and will be more effective the
earlier it is begun.
We have divided this section
into very early signs and symptoms, and later signs and symptoms.
Very early signs and symptoms. Parents should be suspicious if
a baby at age 6 months or less exhibits:
1. Gastrointestinal problems
such as spitting up.
2. Hypotonia,
which means muscle weakness and specifically trouble holding up the head and
neck at about 6 months. This is
sometimes referred to as a ÒfloppyÓ baby.
3. Poor eye contact.
4. Other developmental delays
such as motor nerve delays – slow to grab things, for example, or weak
hand grab.
5. Head lag at 6 months of
age. To test this, one gently
pulls a baby who is lying down by the arms into a sitting position. At 6 months, the head should stay in line
with the body. If it lags –
flops backwards – this is associated with a later diagnosis of autism.
There is little eye contact and
the child may act strange and aloof.
Various motor nerve disturbances may occur, such as jerking movements or
walking on his toes. Physicians
also describe behaviors such as head banging, crying spells, speech problems,
and gastrointestinal and immune system problems.
Other behaviors depend on the
severity of the condition, which may vary. Some autistic children are able to attend school, while others
must be institutionalized as their behavior is so
disruptive to their families.
A complex scale of levels of
autism has been set up to classify what is now called autism spectrum disorder. This is admirable, but does little to
help parents really get to the root causes of the problem.
Cause #1. Vaccines
Parents
often report to me that their childÕs autism began shortly after a
vaccination. A medical study found
that Amish children, who are not vaccinated, rarely, if ever, develop autism.
One would think this fact alone
would cause the medical profession to take notice. However, many doctors are told they will lose their medical
license if they tell parents the truth about vaccination and autism.
Mercury and autism. The symptoms of autism are very similar to the symptoms of
mercury poisoning. Sadly, and
disgustingly, by the age of six months, children in the Western world, in particular,
today receive over 100 times the safe dose of mercury for their age - most due
to vaccines.
Vaccine makers now claim they
are using less mercury as a preservative and a bacteriocide
in their products. However, I find
this is a lie, or at least it is very difficult to confirm. If you care at all about your child, avoid ALL the vaccines, all
boosters and all flu shots. Your
child will be perfectly safe without them if you follow a development protocol.
The first case of autism
occurred in 1943 in America, twelve years after a mercury-containing
preservative, thimerosal, was added to the whooping
cough (pertussis) vaccine. In the 1950s, with only four recommended vaccines, the
incidence of autism was 1 in 10,000 children.
As more vaccines were
recommended, the incidence of autism increased dramatically. By 1981, children received 135
micrograms of mercury in vaccines.
The incidence of autism increased to 1 in 2600 children. Children in 1996 received 246
micrograms of mercury in vaccines and the incidence of autism was about 1 in
every 350 children.
Today, at least 13 different
vaccines are recommended, with many more booster shots. The number of shots ranges from 50 to
over 100 in some areas.
In one study, children who
receive vaccinations containing thimerosal (the
mercury-containing preservative) have six times the amount of autism as those
who received a vaccine free of thimerosal.
Some physicians particularly
blame the hepatitis B vaccine, often given on a childÕs first day of life. This vaccine is quite insane, as most
babies are not prone to hepatitis.
It is also extremely dangerous.
Soon after birth, children do not have a well-developed immune system,
and their nervous system is extremely vulnerable. In one day, a child receiving the hepatitis B vaccine may
receive 36 times as much mercury as is safe. One must realize that most children are already born high in mercury
due to excessive mercury in their mothersÕ bodies, so this extra insult is
extremely harmful.
The hepatitis-B vaccine, in my
view, is guaranteed to produce many more problems than it could possibly solve.
Every parent should refuse it, along with the
others. Newborns are
simply not exposed to hepatitis B, except perhaps in the hospital by
accident. Why doctors go along
with such inanity is beyond my comprehension, except they are forced to or they
will lose their license to practice medicine. Everyone must know this, that doctors are not Òfree to
chooseÓ whether or not to recommend vaccines. They are compelled, and usually will not tell you so!
Vaccines containing mercury are
also given to mothers. In one
study, 50% of autistic childrenÕs mothers had received Rho Gam
shots containing mercury as a preservative. These shots are given to mothers who have an Rh negative
blood type and may be carrying an Rh positive
baby. Flu shots may also contain
the mercury-containing preservative, thimerosal.
Other vaccine toxins. Most vaccines also contain other deadly preservatives such
as aluminum compounds, and other toxic chemicals.
In addition, vaccines introduce
stray viruses and bacteria into the bodies of vulnerable children. All vaccines tend to be somewhat
contaminated with other viruses and bacteria due to the nature of their
manufacture. It is simply
impossible to limit the vaccine shot to one type of organism.
Faulty
science. Vaccination is based on faulty
science. While it is true that
giving a small and attenuated dose of a virus or bacteria will induce some
immunity, it is not the same as the natural immunity that one acquires after
having the disease. Doctors
sometimes deny this, but it should be obvious.
If it were true that a vaccine
confers the same natural immunity as having survived the disease, then vaccine
boosters would never be needed.
However, they are needed because the vaccine confers only a minor and
temporary immunity to the disease that does not last more than an year in many cases, or a few years, at the most.
For much more about the lies,
deception and horrors of vaccination, please read Vaccination
- A Medical Abomination on this site.
Cause #2. Toxic metals. All children with autism,
without exception, have excessive amounts of toxic metals in the brain. This is beyond dispute, in my mind, based on hair analysis
research on these children. Hair
tissue mineral testing is an excellent research tool with autism, by the way.
I have noticed several different
toxic metals that are common in autistic children. Many children have a combination of these:
A.
Cadmium or mercury toxicity. These metals tend to cause the most
severe autism, usually with very abnormal behavior patterns, no speech, almost
complete withdrawal from family and society, and the most difficult to
correct. Fortunately, it is not
the most common situation.
B.
Manganese or aluminum toxicity. This may be
the most common metals involved in autism. They cause mental and behavioral
problems, but not to the degree found with cadmium or mercury. Manganese and aluminum toxicity may
also be easier to correct.
C.
Copper toxicity. This is also fairly common. This type tends to have the most
digestive problems. Removing all
gluten (wheat, rye, oats and barley), as well as all casein or dairy products,
produces quite dramatic improvements.
However, this dietary restriction is not enough for full correction.
Cause #3. All autistic
children seem to have difficulty eliminating toxic metals. This concept is a key to autism
that must not be overlooked.
Removal of toxic metals is necessary for complete reversal of this serious
condition.
Ninety-nine percent of autistic
children in a recent study have dysfunctional metallothionein
metabolism. Metallothionein
is a protein that binds to toxic minerals such as mercury, copper and others
and allows the body to eliminate them. If this binding protein does not function well, or if there
is not enough of it, one is less able to transport and eliminate many toxic
metals.
The best way I know of to boost metallothionein, ceruloplasmin
and other mineral transporters is not with random vitamin supplements, but with
a development program that gently balances the entire body system.
Poor eliminator patterns. The hair mineral tests of children with autism often reveal poor eliminator
patterns. These are very low
toxic metal levels.
These very low readings indicate
difficulty eliminating the toxic metal.
It does not mean that the metal is not present. In fact, it is present in excess
because the body cannot eliminate it adequately.
For more on this important
indicator in the hair, please read Poor
Eliminator Pattern on this site.
Cause #4. Toxic chemicals. These are present in everyone, but may be especially high in
some autistic children. These
toxins come directly from the mother during gestation, or they may be acquired
after birth.
Common sources are vaccines and
medical drugs such as antibiotics.
Other sources are food chemicals or contaminated drinking water. Still other sources can be skin contact
with detergents, toxic toys, fire retardants in mattresses, or other products
to which babies are exposed.
These chemicals are not always
easy to remove. A development
program will remove them, especially if the child can use a near infrared lamp
sauna.
Cause #5. Leaky gut syndrome. Most autistic children have food reactions or
sensitivities. These tend to
worsen some symptoms. The most common
of these appear to be strong negative reactions to cow milk protein or casein,
wheat protein or gluten, and sometimes to other foods such as soy protein.
These reactions are often due to
intestinal infections, toxic metal excess, and incorrect intestinal flora,
especially if the child has not been breast fed enough
or has taken antibiotics.
Leaky gut syndrome. The food reactions are usually the direct result of an
irritated intestinal tract, sometimes called Òleaky gut syndromeÓ. This means that the irritated
intestinal wall allows partially digested food particles to pass into the blood
stream, and this causes the food sensitivity.
Also,
any food that is not digested properly can putrefy or ferment,
giving rise to infections and toxin production in the intestines that can
affect the entire body.
Most
autistic children benefit by eliminating all wheat and all gluten-containing
products, These
include most breads, pastries, bagels, pretzels, pasta and much more.
In addition, most autistic
children should stop ingesting all dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt,
ice cream and perhaps even butter.
Several articles on this website
address the issue of what should children eat, such as ChildrenÕs Nutrition.
Cause #6. Nutritional
deficiencies. Without exception, all autistic
children are malnourished, usually from birth. This has to do with the nutrition of their mothers. All children born in the Western world
today are malnourished to some degree, in my experience.
It is hard to overcome the
problem because the food supply is depleted of nutrient minerals due to the exclusive
use of hybridized crops around the world.
The situation is made far worse
by feeding children refined white flour products, refined white sugar, white
rice, and literally thousands of chemical additives that are permitted to be
used in food products.
Malnutrition is made even worse
by the widespread use of medical drugs and over-the-counter drugs that damage
the intestinal lining, causing impaired absorption of nutrients.
Excellent nutrition is also not
emphasized enough with women of child-bearing
age. Many of them stay up late at
night, work too hard, eat on the run, and in general do not care for themselves
well at all.
All of this must be addressed
now, or the problems of autism, attention deficit disorders, delayed
development, failure to thrive, cancers in children and other health issues
will only get worse. For more on
this important topic, read Having Healthy
Children on this website.
Why
social withdrawa?. It is possible that the reason many autistic children
withdraw socially is there is too much chaos in the brain. This is due to the causes listed above.
The childÕs response is to
reduce the chaos coming from outside the body by withdrawing from society. This may explain why certain therapies that
help a child organize his world better, are helpful for some autistic children.
THE LEGAL SITUATION WITH REGARD TO VACCINES
Vaccination
remains optional in the United States except in California. Optional means that if one does not
want children vaccinated, one can object and decline it by a religious,
philosophical or medical excuse.
School
nurses are supposed to have a vaccine refusal form, but many do not inform
parents of this option at all. So
BEWARE!
Also,
the state of California recently got rid of their philosophical, medical and
religious exemptions to vaccination.
One can still avoid vaccinating children in this state with a medical
excuse letter.
Vaccination
may be required in some other nations, and is required for travel to certain nations.
A
few states in America have banned the use of thimerosal,
the mercury-containing preservative found in many vaccines, and seen a slight
decline in autism. However, it is
very hard to tell if oneÕs vaccines are really thimerasal-free,
and this is just one of several poisons found in vaccines.
This
website contains a sample Vaccine Refusal
Letter. It also contains
several articles about vaccination.
If
a child has been diagnosed with autism or a related disorder, there is much
that can be done. A development
program based on a properly performed and correctly interpreted hair mineral
analysis is excellent and often able to correct the condition completely,
especially if one begins early, and the family is willing to stay with the
program a few years.
A
complete development program will correct the nutritional deficiencies, will
cause the removal of at least two dozen toxic metals and hundreds of toxic
chemicals, and will heal the intestinal tract and leaky gut syndrome.
Retracing. This is a
feature of development programs.
It causes temporary symptoms, at times, that one must understand or one
may think that the person is getting worse when this is not the truth.
The childÕs first
hair mineral analysis reflects the top layer of metabolism and will not show
all the imbalances. One corrects
the primary mineral imbalances with a specific system of diet, supplementary
nutrients, lifestyle modification and detoxification
procedures.
After several
months, a retest will reveal a deeper layer of metabolism. Many times it will look quite different
from the previous layer if the healing program was followed. Uncovering and reversing layers of
adaptations and compensations, the process of retracing, requires time and some
persistence, but is far more permanent and health-producing
than simply removing symptoms with drugs, herbs, homeopathy or nutritional
supplements.
Deep healing versus
symptomatic improvements.
Development can often correct the entire autistic situation. In contrast, other approaches usually
do not do this. Instead, they
cause symptomatic improvements, but do not correct the brain at as deep levels.
NOTE: When autism is corrected by a development
program, it does not mean the child or adult will suddenly function at
the same level as his or her peers.
Instead, what occurs
is that development can now proceed. It may still require a few years for
the child to catch up with his peers because development was shut down for
years, often. This is a little
confusing, but very important to understand.
Features of a development
program. This program does all of the following
simultaneously, and in an integrated way to help reverse autism:
1.
Improve the overall energy and vitality level of the child by renourishing dozens of nutrients, mainly through the diet,
but also with supplements.
2.
Balance the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic
nervous system is overactive in many, if not all, autistic children. Parasympathetic supplements and even
foods, along with balancing the chemistry, can calm the sympathetic system,
allowing for much better elimination of toxic metals and chemicals.
3.
Improve the organs of elimination. This is necessary in all cases to enhance toxic metal and
toxic chemical elimination.
4.
Remove toxic metals and chemicals in more than a dozen ways, but not with chelation therapy. I
know the warning against chelation therapy is
controversial, and that some doctors use chelation successfully
with autism. The reason I do not
recommend it is that it is not needed with a complete development program.
Also, Dr. Paul Eck found that chelation therapy upsets the Na/K ratio, and always removes
some vital minerals from the body.
For much more on this topic, please read Chelation Therapy on this site.
CORRECTION NOTES
1.
The diet. All
infants should be breast fed for 3 years.
Most will not need much adult food during that time, except perhaps a
little lightly cooked and runny egg yolk.
If necessary, some Homemade
Formula, not adult food, can be added. Stopping breast feeding before age
3 is pernicious, in my view. It
just weakens the child.
When it is time for adult food, do not give a
child any sweets or fruit or fruit juices. These are not appropriate for fast oxidizers, which is how
all babies begin life. Excellent
foods for young children are fresh cooked vegetables, never raw ones, a little whole well-cooked grains, but not wheat. Naturally-raised meats and eggs are
good in moderation. The only
beverages should be spring water, carbon-only filtered tap water, or mild
herbal teas only. Avoid Ôdrinking
waterÕ, all juices, and all alkaline waters and other beverages such as fruit
juices.
Most babies and young children
need plenty of healthful fats in their diet for the development of their
nervous system, and because they are fast oxidizers. These include eggs, meats, fresh toasted almond butter, and
a little olive oil and butter.
Strict avoidance of all cowÕs milk and perhaps all dairy products is beneficial for
many autistic children. Avoiding
wheat and all gluten-containing grains (rye, oats, barley and wheat) often helps as well.
Many autistic children have
chronic intestinal yeast infections that make them very sensitive to
sugars. It can be very
important to avoid all concentrated sugars including soda pop, candies,
cookies, and all fruits, juices and other sweetened foods. Excessive carbohydrates in the diet,
even good quality ones, may also worsen an intestinal yeast condition.
2.
Strictly avoid all vaccines, boosters, flu shots, tetanus shots and other
vaccinations.
3.
Do your best to avoid medical drugs and all toxic chemicals. For example, antibiotics cause many problems, for example,
and should rarely be needed if one uses natural alternatives. See the articles entitled Boosting The Immune System and Beyond Antibiotics on this site. Babies and children
need a quiet, peaceful lifestyle and loads of rest and sleep.
4.
Eat loads of cooked vegetables, though not the nightshade vegetables (tomatoes,
potatoes, eggplant and all peppers).
5.
Give the child 2 foot rubs daily, and use a red Òheat lampÓ on the childrenÕs
belly and back for 20 to 45 minutes daily.
6.
Excessive water drinking. Several children with autism
suddenly began drinking excessive amounts of water. We found out that in each case, the sodium/potassium ratio
had become too high and the child was attempting to lower the sodium/potassium
ratio by drinking more water. When
the development program was corrected, the child stopped drinking too much
water.
Other Natural Therapies. Other
natural therapies may be helpful for autistic children. These are quality chiropractic, in
particular. Massage and craniosacral therapy may help, as well, in some cases. A parent must always accompany a child
to these sessions.
We
believe this is easy! The steps
are:
1.
Mothers-to-be must go on a development program. They ought to do this before becoming pregnant, or at least
during pregnancy, to have a fairly healthy child.
2.
Avoid ALL vaccines, with no exceptions. They are not
needed, and they are all potentially dangerous. Write out your wishes in advance for your doctors and others
who will be around your baby. Make
sure someone keeps an eye on your baby at all times in the hospital or clinic,
if that is where you will have your baby.
3.
Breast feed your baby for 3 years. Do not listen
to the doctors who say you can stop after 6 months or a year.
4.
If your baby becomes ill, use medical drugs only as a last resort. Begin with natural methods, that
often work well.
Anyone
who does these simple things will greatly reduce the chances of having an
autistic child.
The
autism epidemic is a preventable tragedy of great magnitude. It causes a staggering level of
suffering and wasted human potential.
It is also an enormous financial burden on families and helping
agencies.
It
is getting worse, and it is another monumental failure of the drug medical
profession – who have caused it. Standard medical treatments are not
very effective, and the vaccination horror continues at this time.
I
hope the autism epidemic will cause more people to be concerned with the way
young women are prepared for motherhood, and I hope that prenatal care will
drastically improve. All young
women need to eat better, and need supplements of calcium, magnesium, zinc,
omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D, at minimum.
If the pain we all suffer from
the autism epidemic helps us to wake up and pay more attention to the nutrition
of teenage girls and young mothers-to-be, this would indeed be a positive step
toward producing healthier generations of children in the future.
