autism and heavy metals/vaccinations etc - is this correct?

Post Reply New Topic

The word "detoxification" flips my "quack" sense. Do you have more information on this detox helping autism?

Stress, illness, etc. can make autistic symptoms more severe.

The thing that's really confusing me is that everyone is saying that the detox is a cure/therapy/treatment/intervention etc for autism. It doesn't make sense. It's clearly an intervention to the poisoning autistics are susceptible to, unless I'm severely missing something here..

well I have to go now but I'll talk about this more tomorrow if you like

Quackwatch talks about this stuff as well:

It seems when talking about detoxification of autistic children, that it's referring to removal of heavy metals, or chelation:

And here's an overview of detoxification:

As far as more Dx's, that is because of increased awareness. When I was a kid, Autistic meant "Tommy" from the Who's rock opera of the same name. Only severely withdrawn/unresponsive cases. And also considered hopeless. I'm pretty sure my family was in denial for several years. After all, I regained my speech..
I read that guy's book on vaccinations. I don't think there is any conclusive evidence that has supported his hypothesis. Yet, anyway.
I also read the "Leaky Gut" Hypothesis (by the same author???Anyone know?). As I have had Inflammatory Bowel Disease & its complications, most of my life, there might be something to this. Or maybe the two share the same enviromental trigger.
I can comfortably say here: No one Knows For Sure. Docs hate this phrase!

This is my quote from my website.

"Vaccinations
People with the MTHFR deficiency sometimes have problems clearing metals. There are many toxic preservatives in vaccinations. Thimerasol and aluminum are found in many vaccinations. They can cause serious problems to someone with an MTHFR gene mutation. Thimerasol (mercury) and aluminum are known to deplete b vitamins. A person with MTHFR has trouble clearing metals. Mercury and aluminum absorb what b vitamins are in the body."

Vaccines do cause autism in some people. Autism is a fancy word for heavy metal toxicty during brain developmentation.
You don't give a diabetic a pound of sugar and expect a positive outcome.
You don't give a child with MTHFR formaldahyde, thimerasol, aluminum and dental amalgam fillings just to name a few and expect a positive outcome.
And yes 3mcg of thimerasol (mercury) is still being put in some vaccinations. CDC.gov has a list what is going in the vaccinations. I could not post the link because I am a new member.
It is a fact that with the MTHFR gene mutation, synthetic b vitamins can jam the methylation pathway and can do more harm than good. I myself avoid all foods fortified with synthetic b vitamins. So if your active b's are jammed and not working, you have problems producing glutathione. Glutathione is what clears the metals from the body. Once glutathione is depleted, disease sets in.
Example: Cyanocobalamin (cyanide phosphate 3') is being put in our food and is the b12 injection most given. It is proven that cyanocobalamin does not fight oxidative stress in someone with the MTHFR gene mutation. I do have scientific documentation to prove this but cannot post the link because I am a new member.
So here is a scenario: Baby is born to a mother who has amalgam fillings and was taking a prenatal with synthetic b's in it. MTHFR gene mutation is there. Father also passed on a mutation to child as well. 1/2 of the baby's glutathione has already been depleted. Now we deplete more glutathione that the young child cannot produce because of a methylation jam due to synthetic b vitamins with a big fat multiple injection of aluminum, thimerasol and formaldahyde which people with MTHFR cannot clear. Now the child is developing ADHD and not learning well. Might I add that the child's body fat has now stored the maximum amount of toxins and metals and now these toxins and metals are storing in the fatty tissues of organs (metals love fatty brain tissue). 2 years later the child is due for other vaccinations and Mommy is feeding the child fluoridated water(proven to deplete glutathione), high fructose corn syrup (proven to deplete glutathione) and gave them acetametophen (depletes glutathione by up to 84%). Now the child is 5 years old and going to get a Hep B vaccination and the child has nearly depleted all their glutathione. Mommy brings child home and notices a high fever. A few days later, child develops breathing issues. Child is rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism (very common in MTHFR C677T). The doctors run tests and come back to tell mommy that the child has MTHFR and lets put them on folgard. Very bad idea. Folgard contains synthetic b's which consist of formaldahyde, coal tar residue and cyanide phosphate 3' (higer than the "norm" levels of cyanide have been found in MTHFR enzyme deficiency). So now the child starts hallucinating and banging their head in the wall and avoiding eye contact with parents. BAM! Toxins+Metals+depleted glutathione before complete brain developmentation=autism.
I get emails like this every day.
When you are planning to have a child, know your MTHFR status and your spouse's. Make sure to take a prenatal without synthetic b's,. Also take additional folate (not to be mistaken with synthetic folic), methylcobalmin, p5p (if tolerated) and TMG. Make sure you do not have any amalgam fillings. Eat all organic and try to buy organic cleaning supplies and toiletry items. Stay away from gluten which prevent absorption of water soluable b's. And avoid vaccinations with metal preservatives.

Here is an example I've seen over the internet

1. A parent has an autistic child (I speculate here but I'm sure autism is genetic so..), the child develops more or less normally

2. The child suddenly stops developing around 1-2 years old

3. The parent realises their child is different and takes the child to the doctor

4. The child is diagnosed with autism

5. In her quest to cure the autism and to try out all of the different therapies available, the mother visits a doctor who tells her that autistics have trouble with foreign pollutants, she takes her child to be examined, the child is found to have large amounts of heavy metals in its system.

6. The child is given detoxification therapy, not only are the heavy metals removed but multiple therapies for all kinds of detoxification are carried out, even the child's diet is changed

7. The "autism" is "almost completely cured" shortly after the therapy - the removal of the metals in the child's system, the diet changes etc.



From what I've read so far - and only from what I've read so far - the real life example I'm aware of (of the woman with the autistic child, who said the MMR gave her child autism) is looking to me like it could have gone like this: -

1. A parent has a child, the child is autistic, very bright, and the parent doesn't even realise the child is autistic

2. The child gets a vaccination, because of their genetic difference the child does not properly process the foreign pollutants and these cause damage, including damage to the brain, stunting development

3. The parent realises something has happened to their child and takes it to the doctor

4. The child is diagnosed with autism, the doctor tells her that the MMR jab caused the autism, the symptoms of the poisoning are wrongfully classed as symptoms of autism




From what I've seen so far I believe it's also quite a feasible hypothesis that the children in both examples do not have any of the autistic genes whatsoever and that they are genetically "neurotypical" except for the genes which detoxify. That "autism" is actually a label covering not only a large range of different genes but also of the effects of environmental poisoning and brain damage, all of which may occur together or separately. This explains the ridiculous scale of "the autistic spectrum", why there is strong evidence that "autism" is genetic, but also why people can say that their brain was oxygen starved causing "autism", that an MMR jab caused "autism", that some autistics do not have genes which have been isolated as being autistic genes etc. It's a label covering two different things - a genetic difference (in which multiple "autistic" genes may be present or not to varying degrees) and brain damage - the genetic difference, depending on the functioning of some specific individual genes, being more susceptible, but not unique, to receiving this type of damage.



It's like people are saying - that autism is a genetic difference but also that environmental factors are involved. This makes sense if the two separate, albeit linked things - the genetic difference and the environmental poisoning - are being lumped together as "autism!" It seems to me there's evidence that a series of fine genetic differences, sadly come with the possibility of other genes not functioning as well, including an increased chance of detoxifying genes not working in the current environment, degrading the ability to process certain poisons, causing many to be damaged by a poisonous environment. I will have to look into it more though.

People are trying to find "autism risk genes", people are saying that "detoxification therapy helps to defeat autism", people are discussing "whether pre-scanning for autism and abortion is ethical to end the suffering of autistics", but these people can't pinpoint the "autistic genes" because although there are similarities in many autistics, there are even more differences between them, they don't understand the link between genetic and environmental factors... I don't know, this all looks suspicious to me....
