Autism improvement (or cure) has two stages

1.    The first stage consists of finding and solving the “physical” portions of autism. 

2.    The second stage consists of behavior training and other education.

This article is devoted to the first stage.  That stage has three distinct and separate therapies involved:

1.    Finding and solving the cause of the “brain damage.

2.    Solving the nutritional puzzle(s).

3.    Solving the allergy problems.

The Brain Damage Problem

While mercury is a major cause of brain damage, there are other causes such as a birth or pre-birth accident, or even very poor nutrition by the mother during pregnance. Drug addict mothers are also sometimes responsible.  

At present there is little that can be done for the actual physical damage other than increasing oxygen to the brain.  Neuroliminal Training does this by increasing brain blood flow by subliminal messaging during sleep..

For the majority of cases over the past 10 years or so, the cause is mercury poisoning derived from too many vaccines combined with our worsening environment. 

Big Pharma, the FDA, and the Bush government knew a long time ago that the mercury (used as a preservative to lengthen shelf life) was causing brain damage in infants.  The huge increase of cases from 1 in 10,000 to the present 1 in 150 or so corresponds to the use of mercury and the increase of “required” infant vaccines, that loads so much mercury in this mix that the liver simply cannot take it all out of the bloodstream, and the brain blood barrier cannot stop it from the brain circulation, and it does this physical damage killing brain cells.

(Adding insult to injury, the FDA (controlled entirely by Big Pharma) spent a lot of money trying to make any drugs approved by the FDA, not subject to lawsuits.  How’s that for a “double play”?)

Here’s another little known fact about mercury poisoning.  What is stored in the liver cannot be gotten out of the liver unless there is some chelating chemical in the bloodstream available to “neutralize it, and then excreting the combination out of the body.

(Big Pharma has used blood, urine, and hair tests to “prove” that mercury “wasn’t” the source.  They are well aware that if no chelating material is in the blood, there will be little or no mercury present either.  A false proof indeed!)

This brings us to the first step in finding out how much mercury or other mineral toxins are stored.This Vitamin C should be started at least a week prior to any urine or blood test, and at least two months prior to hair analysis.  Load the person with about 1000 mg (1 gram) of plain old vitamin C for every 10 pounds of person to be tested.The good thing about vitamin C is that the only effect of overdosing is diarrea.  Split doses in two or three or more doses per day.

Now, be sure to take the sample of blood or urine within 2-4 hours after taking the Vitamin C. 

The second step is to chelate (means grab onto) the mercury (and all other minerals), render it non-toxic in combination, and water soluble so that it is filtered by the kidneys and taken out of the body.  

There are many other chelators, some very expensive, and somewhat faster than Vitamin C , but I prefer it because it also confers protection against viruses and bacteria in these large doses, and it’s cheap. 

FYI, the cheapest Ascorbic Acid works just as well as the most expensive form, however, if the person is allergic to corn, then you may want to use Calcium Ascorbate, which is unlikely to cause allergic symptoms.(Those persons who think they are allergic to vitamins, are only usually allergic to corn, and can use Calcium Ascorbate!)

Autistic infants are virtually always low in another “natural” chelator called Glutathione.  This is part of the autism picture.  The problem is that it is very difficult (and expensive) to supply and keep it in the body.Vitamin C is easier.

Unless the mercury stored in the liver and other locations is taken down to very safe low level,  the brain damage may continue.  Thus the above is a critical first step in solving the autism puzzle.  Without solving it, the rest of the puzzle is much more difficult. 

The Nutritional Problems

There is a huge amount of stress involved with just the toxic minerals.This additional stress (you guessed it) requires even more nutrition.  The “normal” digestive tract contains bacteria that may be deadly if it gets into the bloodstream.The design of the digestive system is designed so that shouldn’t ever happen.  It breaks down food into basic molecules, sugars, fatty acids, and amino acids in particular. 

Protein is just a collection of various amino acids – the building blocks of all animals as well as bacteria and viruses.  The system breaks these down to only a very few amino acids in what is called a peptide string.  This makes sure than any bacteria or virus or yeast cannot get into the bloodstream as they are all much larger than the “usual” peptides coming thru in a “normal” system.

With this stress, the brain realizes that it MUST get more nutrition, so it opts for increasing the input all from the gut.  This means that larger and larger peptide strings are able to pass into the bloodstream.  We now have what’s called a “Leaky Gut Syndrome”.

Some of these larger peptide strings might resemble a virus or bacteria, and the brain puts up a “danger signal”.Now a food allergy is developed (or technically food sensitivity).  (The “usual” first foods for infants are milk and bread products, thus the casein free, gluten free diets often improve some autistic symptoms.)

Yet another important problem is caused by the Leaky Gut Syndrome.  It often allows the natural bacteria colonies that help digestion to become overrun with yeast.  The overuse of antibacterial drugs contributes as most are made from fungus/yeast.  The “healthy gut” has a balance of bacteria and yeast. 

So, we now have a vicious downward spiral.  This is a common story with autistic children. 

The first step is obviously to start getting enough nutrition so that the Leaky Gut Syndrome is no longer needed.  This means starting a vitamin mineral program and cutting out high carb sugary foods, replacing those with good home cooked meals, high in protein, and fiber along with those vitamins and minerals.

It’s hard to get away from “junk foods”, but it’s necessary if you want to really help an autistic child.Better health for the whole family is a good result.  You know what to eat – good meat, fresh fruits and vegetables.

Clearing up the food allergies

As mentioned earlier, mineral toxicity causes huge stress on the brain and body.  The various allergies that are born in, as well as the allergies created by the Leaky Gut Syndrome are also huge stressors, and also require more nutrition to just handle.  Anything that lessens this stress is valuable indeed..

Most of these so-called “brain allergies” are unsuspected by the person with them.   Unlike the environmental allergies, causing visible symptoms such as hay fever, hives, etc, these only affect the brain, and most mental problems are due to these and the resulting stress.  I may surprise you to find that any allergy can be responsible for anything from insomnia to schizophrenia and bipolar depression.  For a lot more information http://drbate.com/Ref/allergy.html .

There are several ways to solve allergy problems, ranging from the very expensive Neurofeedback clinics, the slightly less expensive allergy clinics, all the way to many “alternate” therapies, including Neuroliminal Training (NT), one of the most effective, yet affordable therapies available.NT is done at home, it’s very simple to use, relatively inexpensive, and consists of “sleep therapy using a special CD that actually does the same thing as the expensive NFB clinics – name raise one special brain wave that seemingly changes the affect on the brain by allergens.

There are three methods of measuring mineral toxicity without actually taking a biopsy of the liver.

1.  Blood Analysis:  This measures only what is in the blood at the time of taking the sample.  The problem with this is not only that it is limited in time, but blood levels will vary considerably over time, giving very inaccurate measures.

2.  Urine Analysis:  This measures only what was in the blood a short time ago.  If a 24 hour collection is made, then it is much more accurate.   

3.  Hair Analysis:  Depending on the length of the hairs used, this can measure amounts over weeks or even months, and even years.  We can also measure using fingernails with the same general accuracy.

Here’s a major problem with all three methods.  Toxic minerals are filtered out of the blood by the liver, and stored there (or moved to other storage).  The liver WILL NOT release these toxic minerals UNLESS there is something in the bloodstream that can remove them from the body.

The two “natural” chemicals that do this are vitamin C and Glutathione.  There are also various chemicals called “chelators” that “grab” onto all minerals, and render them water soluble, thus excreting them via kidney and urine.   (Vitamin C and Glutathione are not exactly chelation chemicals, as they metabolize minerals, but the act the same way.)

Here’s another source if inaccuracy.  All the minerals present are measured.  This includes the minerals necessary for good health,  (Calcium, magnesium, iron, etc).
The toxic minerals are then measured against these “average levels” of nutritional minerals.  This means that if no, or very little vitamin C or Glutathione is present in the blood, no, or very little toxic minerals are released, and measured as a ratio with the normal (averaged) minerals, may show up as very low, and not toxic on the chart.

In particular, this inaccuracy is a huge factor in autism cases.  Let’s look at a hypothetical case of an infant from a mother with a less than toxic amount of mercury.
In the hospital or shortly afterwards, he gets a series of vaccines that use mercury as a preservative.  He already has a near toxic level of mercury stored in his liver, and this (huge to a small body) increase overloads his liver.The excess minerals are able to pass the brain blood barrier, and kill brain cells.  

Now it takes time for the liver to move some of the toxic mercury from the liver to other storage areas, and in this interim, the mercury is poisoning the brain.  Eventually, this movement is done, and all the toxins are stored and out of the bloodstream.  

Measure the blood at this time with any of the three methods above (perhaps months later), and the “apparent” level of mercury is well below the toxic level.  Autistic children are very short in Glutathione, and there isn’t enough vitamin C in most children to even begin to remove the amounts of mercury stored.  (The RDA of 75 mg will prevent scurvy, but is not even close for good health.)

Big Pharma knows all this.  Very few MD’s do.  Big Pharma is using blood and urine testing to “prove” that these kids autism wasn’t caused by the mercury.  Big Pharma is an expert at this type of lie and spin - witness their drug advertising.         

From the above facts, it is possible to get a much more accurate measure from any of the three analysis methods above.It’s simple to pre-load a person prior to testing with vitamin C.  For a few days prior to either the blood or urine testing, and for a month prior to the hair testing.  This allows the liver to release any toxic minerals from  storage into the bloodstream where they are neutralized by the vitamin C into a water soluble combination that is then filtered out by the kidneys and expelled.  (The hair and fingernail cells also accumulate minerals from the blood stream in the ration that they appear in the bloodstream.)

Why Vitamin C?  It’s relatively cheap; It’s very safe to use even in very high doses; most chelators are expensive, and Glutathione is difficult to get into the bloodstream for any amount of time.

In my former practice (80’s & 90’s) I helped many schizophrenics cure themselves using only vitamin C.I usually recommended 10,000 mg (10 grams per day in split doses for adults.  They were on this amount for perhaps a year, but after a week or so, they became free of the major symptoms.  The vitamin C “neutralizes the toxic action of minerals as well as taking it out of the body!

The amount in the RDA is ridiculous at best.  75 mg - Bah humbug!  Talk to a zoo vet and you’ll find that the RDA for a 150 pound ape is 4000 mg per day.  Humans and apes are exactly alike in basic metabolism and vitamin C need.  I’ve been taking 4000mg for many years, and I do not get infections from bacteria or viruses.  

The other good thing about vitamin C is that you can’t get into harm using it.  Take too much, and you only get diarrhea.  Even in infants and small children.  For infants under 20 pounds, I’d use 250 mg twice a day.        

There are several chelation materials used today.  Chelate means to “grab onto”.  The MD “standard” is EDTA.  This chemical is put in intravenously.  It’s expensive in “doctor” time.There’s a new chelator called Zeolite, but it’s more expensive than plain old vitamin C.   

Excess copper, particularly in women on the “pill” may cause schizophrenia, mercury can be a cause of depression.  Lead and mercury both cause brain cell death.  In order to really cure such, these toxic minerals MUST be taken out of the body.
