Causes of Autism & Affordable Therapies

August 10, 2009

I believe that the causes of autism are much simpler than most believe.

IMO, the basic cause of all mental problems is stress or trauma.

What separates autism from ADD on that continuum is actual brain

damage. If the brain is damaged physically, then many different body

systems may be damaged, leading to many different symptoms (and

diagnosis).

Physical trauma such as a fall by the mother, or the birth trauma may be

a cause, but in my opinion, these were the 1/10,000 autistic births in

the last century. Allergens and toxic minerals are the major problems

of stress today.

In simple ADD/ADHD, a " cure " is possible fairly easily using either EEG

Biofeedback (Neurofeedback) or Neuroliminal Training for about 2

months. These brains are not actually damaged physically, but are only

" hampered " by the allergens.

(The diagnosis to separate ADD/ADHD from Autism is very difficult, and

simple to mistake for any doctor. Individuals are just that -

individual and different.)

With physical brain damage (Autism), it takes much more time and

effort. Brain cells take time to regenerate. The more damage, the more

time. Thus, the so-called " autism spectrum " , or continuum.

All stress is additive. Allergy stress is a major cause of all mental

" disease " , and by raising the SMR brain wave, this particular stress

seems to be solved. That's the basis for success with EEG BF or NT.

However, with brain damage, particularly with " heavy metal " poisoning

with mercury or lead, it takes time to replace brain cells.

We live in an increasingly polluted environment, and some of us have

toxic or near toxic levels. These minerals are stored in the liver, but

if this level becomes toxic, then the brain becomes damaged, and loses

brain cells.

In particular, mercury is becoming toxic to the population. It is now

present in ocean fish, in the air from coal burning power plants, in the

20+ vaccines we now force on our infants and children in increasing

doses (and adults with flu shots), and even with the fillings in teeth.

Add to these facts the opinion of most persons that the RDA is correct

for good health, particularly vitamin C, and we no longer have a good

mechanism to get rid of this excess or toxic levels of these " heavy

metals " .

The two " natural " methods of getting rid of excess minerals in the body

are vitamin C and glutathione. Some 65 million years ago, we " primates "

(man and apes etc) lost the enzyme that almost all other animals have.

The particular enzyme allows all other animals to manufacture vitamin C

out of - guess what? - glucose! We cannot manufacture vitamin C, so

MUST take it in from external sources.

The RDA is 75 mg, and this will prevent scurvy, but is it way too low

for good health. It is virtually useless for taking toxic minerals out

of the body

Check with a zoo vet, and you'll find out that a 150 pound ape needs a

minimum of 4000 mg per day for good health, and since apes are very

expensive, they get it! I'll bet you don't, but I do - 2000 mg at

breakfast and dinner every day, and my levels of mercury and lead are

" immeasurable " , along with other toxins.

I've been measuring mineral toxicity in my practice for some 30 years,

and after a year or so on this dosage of vitamin C, all toxic mineral

levels are lowered. I've helped cure depression and schizophrenia in

dozens of people using this simple and cheap vitamin C. I know it

works, but your MD probably doesn't.

Glutathione is manufactured out of chemicals in the body, but in small

quantities, and it is difficult to get needed quantities into the

blood. (Our overall poor diets don't help here either.) Autistics do

not manufacture glutathione well either, and there is a whole industry

devoted to this expensive task. Vitamin C is cheap (under $20 for 500

ea 1000mg (1 gram) tablet at Costco or WalMart - a 4 month supply.)

These facts are not well known to most MD's who get little or no

understanding of vitamins and minerals in med school, and less from med

journals dominated by drug advertising.

If you understand these facts, they ead to a simple method of not only

better health, but a way to actually prevent autism, and a part of the

therapy that leads to a " cure " .

and click on the top article to download it. There are many more

articles that will help the autistic family to understand the basic

four separate problems that MUST be " attacked " in order to cure them.

An understanding of all these problems and the simple and lower cost of

the outlined therapies may help your family avoid bankruptcy. Autism is

a family bankruptcy disease. I hope that I can help you!

Neuroliminal Training (NT) helps solve

mental problems without drugs at low cost.

ADD to Autism, Insomnia to depression & more.

This is very interesting. Could you say something about anxiety, panic attacks,

insomnia, finger picking/nail biting?

Would vitamin C cure those things? Might it take more than 4000 mg a day? Would

neurofeedback or NT cure them?

Thank you!
