The Autism Epidemic – a macroepigenetic approach to identify responsible factors
The alteration of gene expression can negatively impact neurodevelopment significantly simply because the resulting mineral disparities caused by OP pesticides (Pb) and heavy metals (Hg) have the ability to generate and open corridors for oxidative stress within the brain.

Methylation is so important because it produces glutathione. Children with autism tend to have lower levels of glutathione when compared to non-autistic children.
What is Chelation and How Can it Help My Child with Autism? Part 2
Although conventional scientific institutes don’t recognize the link between chelation and improvement in an autistic child’s behavior, many parents opt for chelation therapy as a means of aiding their autistic children.
Overfiring Autonomic Nervous System Leads To Underactive Toxin Elimination
By function, the sympathetic nervous system inhibits the eliminatory organs. As their name suggests, these organs are responsible for ridding the body of toxins, such as lead, mercury, iron, and other heavy metals. In fact, it has a catabolic effect on the body – that is, it causes the body to break down body tissue. When this system is over-active, the body has a nearly impossible chance of eliminating harmful toxins.
What is Defeat Autism Now (DAN!)?
Defeat Autism Now (DAN!) is a project that was founded in the 1960s by Dr. Bernard Rimland. Doctors trained in the “DAN! Protocol,” are taught an approach to autism which begins with the idea that autism is a biomedical disorder. This approach was developed by the Autism Research Institute (ARI) which has more than 1,000 documented cases of autistic children who have recovered.
The belief among DAN! doctors is that autism is a disorder caused by a lowered immune response, issues caused by some foods, and external toxins from vaccines and other sources.
What Type of Treatments do DAN! Doctors Prescribe?
- Supplements such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and essential fatty acids.
- Gluten- and dairy-free diets.
- Food allergy testing.
- Treating dysbiosis in the gut using non-pharmacological medications (i.e. intestinal bacterial/yeast overgrowth).
- Heavy metal detoxification.
What can I expect at my DAN! Doctor Appointment?
You can expect that your child will go through some testing mostly revolving around the state of their internal body. A test for hidden food allergies will be conducted to be sure that any dietary changes that are made as part of your child’s treatment plan are beneficial and not more damaging to them.
You should leave with your questions answered and a customized treatment plan for your child’s needs. If you have questions, ask, ask, ask. Remember, these doctors chose to be DAN! doctors. They believe in this treatment method, and want to see your child healthy!…
Is There a Link Between Uranium and Autism?
Recently a reader wrote us to ask about the link between autism and depleted uranium. The reader comes from Belgrade, Serbia; a city that was bombed by NATO in 1999 with depleted uranium bombs. Thirteen years later the reader is the father of a four year old daughter with autism. Is there a link between the bombing in 1999 and autism in a child born nine years later? Our answer is probably.
