Fewer vaccinations

Vaccinations have been a subject of controversy for the past 10 years. The number of vaccinations that are children are required to have has increased, and many are speculating that there is a correlation between Autism and vaccinations. Even though health experts assert that Autism is not caused by vaccines, it is quite interesting that this condition is less common in Israelite children. Children in Israel are not required to have as many vaccines as American children.

Diet

Many Israelites today still keep kosher. The kosher diet forbids the eating of swine and other foods that have been deemed unclean. There have been studies done to confirm that a poor maternal diet can lead to Autism. Many women in America do not eat properly during pregnancy.

Fewer environmental toxins

If a mother is exposed to toxins in the environment during her pregnancy, her growing child could be at an increased risk for developing autism. Israel has fewer environmental toxins, which could be another possible explanation for the lower autism rates.

There are ways that we can help to increase our body’s ability to produce glutathione. By increasing key ingredients in our bodies, we can improve the process of methylation. The following are some of the key ingredients to focus on:

• Vitamin B12 in its methyl form.
• Vitamin B6
• Folic acid
• Dimethylglycine also known as DMG.
• Trimethylglycine also known as TMG.
• Methionine
• N-acetyl cysteine also known as NAC.
• Glutathione given as an IV infusion, inhaled with a nebulizer, rubbed in as a cream, and orally.

Improving glutathione production can have a positive impact focus, concentration, and language.

The abstracts presented at IMFAR described biological changes and altered behavior in vaccinated macaques which are similar to what is seen in autistic children. Animals that were unvaccinated did not show any adverse outcomes. The animals were given vaccines that had been recommended of infants in the USA during the 1990s, including the controversial MMR with the mercury preservative thimerosal. During the 1990s, rates of autism spectrum disorder among children rose dramatically, from about 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 150 children.

The request of the research group is similar to that of Dr. Bernadine Healy, Former NIH Director, in an earlier interview on CBS. Dr. Healy asserted that public health officials have been too quick to dismiss an autism-vaccine connection when the research has been insufficient.

Certainly a few things to think about and to question. Always make informed and educated decisions when it comes to your child’s well-being.

Agents and what they typically chelate:

• DMSA: lead, mercury, arsenic. DMSA also normalizes glutathione levels.
• DMPS: mercury.
• Calcium disodium EDTA: lead, other heavy metals, and some minerals.

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.

Since 1967 The Autism Research Institute has collected “Parent Ratings of behavioral Effects of Biomedical Interventions.” Tens of thousands of responses have been logged so far. Chelation therapy was recently added to the list of biomedical interventions, and of the 470 parents who reported their children using chelation, 75% reported “good” results. That’s fairly strong evidence!

It is now being said that people who have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) should be tested for Leaky Gut, which, as we’ve mentioned before, is extremely common in people with Autism.

Children with Autism often have gastrointestinal problems.  These problems include gastritis, esophagitis, inflammatory markers at the gut lining, gut lymphatic system hyperplasia, increased intestinal permeability, abnormal gut microbiota findings, increased enzyme secretion, and carbohydrate malabsorption.  Indeed, autistic children with severe gastrointestinal symptoms are more likely to have severe autistic symptoms (via).

Leaky Gut Syndrome itself causes the intestinal immune system to produce chemicals that spread inflammation through the body. It’s the immune system that is supposed to send out defenses to attack bad things in our bodies. You can image the damage that can happen when the “fighting system” is the one spreading the problems.

One of the contributing factors being studied is that depression and other mental conditions may increase the production of the same oxidants that cause damage to the wall of the small intestine. It’s because of this that people who have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder should also be tested for Leaky Gut syndrome.

How to Be Tested for Leaky Gut Syndrome: 

We offer our Leaky Gut test (only in the USA) in which Dr. Wong will send you a test and will analyze the results. The cost of the test includes the test itself, the shipping, the analyzing of the test, and a custom report from Dr. Wong on the results.

Our bodies have natural methods of eliminating these toxins from our bodies. In the very young and the very old, it can be more difficult to rid the body of heavy metals, which can therefore accumulate faster than they can be removed.

Heavy metals are tested in various regions of the body depending on which heavy metal it is. One of the most sensitive tests available at most labs is called a Porphyrin Profile.

Stimming can result from a variety of causes.  We don’t know for certain why stimming is so common, the most popular theory is that it helps to regulate sensory input. Stimming helps the individual to block out any uncomfortable sensory input such as noise, light, etc. – and allows the person to experience the sensations they crave. Changes in the diet may help to improve stimming in some cases.

Although stimming behaviors in children with autism are very common, the good news is that many of these behaviors can be minimized if the underlying causes are addressed and corrected.  As these excessive body motions are reduced, children become more teachable and responsive to their therapies, therefore improving autism dramatically.

This study looked at nearly 1000 children 2-5 years of age, two thirds of whom had autism or other developmental delays, and matched them against the third who had developed normally.

Researchers found that obese women were almost 70% more likely to have a child with autism and more than twice as likely to have a child with a developmental delay.

One study found that the mutations were four times more likely to occur in fathers and the risk for men began increasing at age 35. The reason be may be because the older men are, the more times their sperm-creating cells have copied themselves, and each time a cell is copied, there is a chance that a mutation will occur. Studies that have been published previously found that men over 50 have twice the risk of having an autistic child, compared with those under 30, and the odds are four times greater for those over 55.
