Help For Autism

 

This report will cover the possible causes extensively for two

reasons. Firstly, once you understand that autism has a cause, then

you can do something about it. The medical community, by and large,

still promotes the belief that autism is a genetic brain disorder. So

there is nothing you can do to reverse it. Nothing is further from

the truth. It is being caused by a combination of some pretty

horrendous reasons, and you can do something about it, even reverse

it.

 

 

The second reason this article focuses on the possible causes of

autism is to help prevent other children or any future children from

being exposed to those same causes. To help prevent further autism.

However what the actual cause of your child's autism was is

secondary. What is important is what you can do to improve and

possibly reverse it, and the final two parts of the article focus on

this. So don't get hung up on say whether vaccinations caused your

child's autism or not. Many parents report that their child was

normal until after a vaccination. While vaccines may be a major cause

for most autism, they are not the only cause, and there is usually a

combination of conditions that result in the development of autism.

 

 

The Causes Of Autism

 

Vaccinations May Cause 70% of Autism

 

Some researchers point the finger at the ill-conceived hepatitis B

vaccination, which in 1989 started being given to newborns, as a

major cause of autism. Others point to the MMR vaccine as a major

cause. Both are, for slightly different reasons

 

 

As many vaccine experts point out, giving the hepatitis B vaccination

to newborns, as is done now, makes no sense at all. This is because a

newborn's immune system is not developed. So it can't produce an

immune response to the vaccine. As vaccines are designed to stimulate

the immune system, there is nothing for the vaccine to stimulate. So

it does no good. All it is good for is to make plenty of money for

the drug companies, the doctors who give the vaccines, and

unfortunately, it is likely to cause autism in many children.

 

 

If you are not already aware of the vaccine/autism connection, that

statement may seem like an exaggeration. If this is new to you, if

you are not familiar with the autism -- vaccination connection and

its cover-up by the government and the pharmaceutical industry, Click

Here to read an article written by Robert Kennedy Jr. on this very

subject.

 

Vaccines contain a slew of toxins, including mercury in many cases,

which flood the body of an infant or child with toxins. Overwhelming

the child's ability to detoxify those toxins. With undeveloped immune

systems, babies and young children cannot handle the toxins and

pathogens in the vaccines. (Even adults have problems. A consensus is

building that the Gulf War Syndrome was caused by the vaccinations

given to the troops.) Vaccines introduce many more toxins into a

child then it is able to get rid of. As a consequence, the toxins get

stored in cells. This toxin buildup prevents the brain from

functioning properly — and may lead to autism.

 

 

Ingredients in vaccines (as listed by the CDC on their website)

include antibiotics, aluminum gels, formaldehyde, monosodium

glutamate (MSG), egg protein, and sulfites. A child could be allergic

to antibiotics. Aluminum can, when there is a silicon deficiency,

cause the brain conditions seen in Alzheimer's disease. Formaldehyde

is a highly toxic carcinogenic chemical. MSG is a potent excito-toxin

which can cause seizures, brain tumors, and more. Egg protein could

cause a life threatening anaphylactic reaction. Sulfites are another

toxin, which can cause allergic reactions.

 

 

Rebecca Carley, MD reports, " What the CDC does not list is that 13

vaccines at present (and more are in the works) are actually cultured

on aborted human fetal tissues (go to www.cogforlife.org for more

info). " ....The CDC fails to mention the ethyl-mercury containing

preservative thimerosal that has been in many vaccines, and still is

in some. Dr. Carley points out that the " rate of occurrence of autism

in the last generation became self-evident proof that vaccines are

the causative factor. "

 

 

The hepatitis B vaccination is especially bad because the baby is so

young when given it. Many older children develop autism after getting

the measles, mumps and rubella vaccination. Because the MMR vaccine

contains three strains of viruses, it introduces into a small child

more viruses than it's poorly developed immune system can handle. It

literally will cause multiple viral infections in the child that

overwhelm the immune system, and leads to the development of autism

in some children.

 

 

Dr. Carley makes the point though, that there is a fatal flaw in

vaccines themselves that can lead to autism, autoimmune conditions

and other diseases. This is why the MMR vaccine leads to autism even

though it has no mercury in it. She writes:

 

" What the promoters of vaccination failed to realize is that

secretory IgA (an antibody found predominately in saliva and

secretions of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract mucosa) is

the initial normal antibody response to all airborne and ingested

pathogens. IgA helps protect against viral infection, agglutinate

bacteria, neutralize microbial toxins, and decrease attachment of

pathogens to mucosal surfaces....

 

" Bypassing this mucosal aspect of the immune system by directly

injecting organisms into the body [via vaccines] leads to a

corruption in the immune system itself whereby IgA is transmuted into

IgE, and/or the B cells are hyper-activated to produce pathologic

amounts of self-attacking anti-bodies as well as suppression of

cytotoxic T cells.

 

" As a result, the pathogenic viruses or bacteria cannot be eliminated

by the immune system and remain in the body, where they cause chronic

disease and thus further grow and/or mutate as the individual is

exposed to ever more antigens and toxins in the environment....

 

" The mechanism by which the immune system is corrupted can best be

realized when you understand that the two poles of the immune system

(the cellular and humoral mechanisms) have a reciprocal relationship

in that when the activity of one pole is increased, the other must

decrease. Thus, when one is stimulated, the other is inhibited. Since

vaccines activate the B cells to secrete antibody, the cytotoxic

(killer) T cells are subsequently suppressed....

 

" This suppression of the cell mediated response is thus a key factor

in the development of cancer and life threatening infections. The

organisms continue circulating through the body, adapting to the

hostile environment by transforming into other organisms depending on

acidity, toxicity and other changes to the internal terrain of the

body. "

 

To recap what Dr. Carley says in more simple layman's terms, the

viruses or antigens in vaccines bypass the critical first line of

defense for the immune system. They bypass the immune system

components in the linings of the intestines, lungs and in saliva. As

a consequence, vaccines do not stimulate the immune system in a

healthy, effective manner. The side of the immune system that is

supposed to kill the viruses and other pathogens, the T cells,

actually becomes more suppressed and ineffective so it can't kill

them. The B cell side that causes allergic and autoimmune activity

becomes over-active. So the immune system becomes seriously

compromised, and cannot work like it should. Autoimmune conditions

develop where the overactive inflammatory side of the immune system

starts attacking cells where pathogens or toxins are hiding. Recent

research shows that autism is indeed an autoimmune condition.

 

There is another factor with vaccines that leads to the development

of autism. Dr. Carley explains, " The antigens present in the culture

media itself [on which the viruses used to make the vaccine are

grown] cannot be completely filtered and separated from the organisms

cultured thereon [the vaccine's viruses]. Thus, any antibodies formed

against antigens from the culture cells themselves (for example

myelin basic protein from chick embryos or the 13 vaccines which now

contain aborted human fetal cells) can cross-react to form an

autoimmune reaction against the myelin basic protein in your myelin

sheath, etc. "

 

This autoimmune reaction is crucial in the development of autism. The

destruction of the myelin sheath protecting the nerves is one of the

primary causative factors for autism.

 

 

" Molecular mimicry is due to similarity of proteins contained in

organisms and mammals. (For example, the measles virus is made up of

proteins similar to myelin basic protein; thus, antibodies formed

against the measles virus antigens subsequently also cause an auto-

antibody attack against myelin basic protein in the myelin sheath due

to cross reactivity of these antibodies). "

 

 

So not only do vaccines overload the child with toxins. They may

start autoimmune responses against the nerve fibers in the brain,

exposing and damaging them. This activity alone, can cause autism.

The myelin sheath continues to grow until about age 10. It is

important to stop the attack on it as early as possible, to deal with

autism at as young an age as possible, so that the myelin sheath can

grow normally and recover from the damage to it.

 

 

We occasionally get emails saying we are terrible for giving false

hope to parents, that vaccines are not the problem, that it just

happens to some children and there is nothing you can do about it.

This response flies in the face of facts. Of parents who report

excellent improvement in their children using powerful cellular

detoxification products like Glutathione PleoLyposome and Humic Acid.

Sometimes in less than a week. This argument is bolstered by some

research I heard about recently...

 

A researcher looked at children who had developed autism back in the

1930's. It turns out that every child with autism had a parent who

was working in an operation where they were in contact mercury, lots

of it. Mercury was much more commonly used in industry and

agriculture back then. The fact that the only cases of autism back

then were in children exposed to mercury from their parents

occupations is a clear sign that mercury and perhaps other toxins are

the fundamental problem in autism. And clearly refutes the argument

that autism is a genetic disease.

 

 

Lyme Disease May Cause 20% of the cases of Autism

 

Recently the Lyme Disease Borrelia bacteria was discovered to be a

cause of autism in some children. Lyme Disease has been found to be

infecting fetuses and babies that hadn't been exposed to ticks. It

was found that this bacterium can be passed by human exposure, from

mother to child for example, not only by tick bites. It tends to run

in families, passing from parents to children. Untreated, it causes

brain damage and many other hard to diagnose symptoms commonly found

in autistic children.

 

Researchers have found the lyme disease bacterium in autistic

children and the families of autistic children. When exposed at such

an early age, the bacterium is able to easily get into the brain

where they produce toxins. It is not just lyme disease that is the

problem. About 40% of the time the toxins get stuck in the brain when

the glutathione needed to remove the toxins gets used up, and cannot

be replaced. And thus the brain gets disrupted leading to autism.

About 60% of the time there is an autoimmune response against the

brain which the lyme bacteria initiates. This autoimmune response is

the primary cause of the autism. Turning off the autoimmune response,

strengthening the immune system response to the lyme disease

bacteria, getting the cells healthier so they can resist it and so

they can detoxify properly, can help deal with this issue.

 

 

Environmental Toxins May Cause 10% of Autism

 

Of course, vaccines are not the only source of toxins our children

are exposed to. We live in a highly toxic world that exposes a child

to tens of thousands of chemicals. Toxic pesticide and herbicide

residues on food, toxins in household cleaners and laundry detergent,

toxic carpets and construction material outgas toxic fumes, the list

goes on and on. These toxins show up in breast milk, in infant

formula, in the food you feed your infant. On their own they usually

are not enough to cause autism or its related syndromes, but when

toxin, mercury and aluminum laden vaccines add to the burden, the

toxic overload may reach the breaking point and lead to autism.

However, if a child has inadvertently been exposed to dangerous

levels of environmental toxins, these toxins can cause autism on

their own.
