What is Autism?
Autism is a severe developmental disorder that begins at birth or within the first
two-and-a-half years of life. Most autistic children are perfectly normal in appearance, but spend their time engaged in puzzling
and disturbing behaviors which are markedly different from those of typical children. Less severe cases may be diagnosed with
Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or with Asperger's Syndrome (these children typically have normal speech, but they
have many social and behavioral problems).
Symptoms vary enormously from child
to child, from mild to severe. Autism occurs much more frequently in boys than in girls. It is now estimated to affect 1 in
every 150 children in the United States.
It used to be thought that autism is just a fate
that you accept. The good news is that there are now a wide variety of treatment options which can be very
helpful. As a mother of a child with autism and a homeopath, in my own clinical practice CEASE therapy and isopathic
treatments have been the most helpful in reversing the autism, ADHD and other neurodevelopmental challenges by detoxification
and removing of all chemical toxics including vaccinations and medications.
What are the core symptoms?
Because multiple areas and functional systems in the brain can be affected, the Autistic
patients can have overlapping symptoms with other disorders as well. Many Autistic children have symptoms of sensory sensitivities
(sound, light, texture, tastes). Commonly, Autistic children can have varying degrees of symptoms of ADHD or ADD ((poor focus,
hyperactive, impulsive), though the primary diagnosis is Autism.
Diagnosis is based on a cluster of behavioral symptoms, though the symptoms are neurologically based. The diagnosis
of Autism itself does not provide answers to the origin of the symptoms.
The Autistic patient doesn't choose to be socially disconnected;
it is a byproduct of systems in their brain being shutdown, disconnected and blocked. This can result from too many slow brainwaves
causing underfunctioning, or too many fast brainwaves causing overstimulation and chaos in the brain.
- Autistic patients who are emotionally over reactive
or excessively tantrum will typically show abnormal functioning in the right temporal lobe.
- The language deficits show up in the left areas
of the brain.
- Emotional
expressive deficits commonly show up on the right frontal region.
What is The Real Causes of Autism?
By
and large, the medical community still promotes the belief that autism is a genetic brain disorder, and as such, there is
nothing you can do to reverse it. Nothing is further from the truth. Intensive research continues to prove it is caused by
a combination of some pretty horrendous things, and you can do something about it, even reverse it. But first you need
to understand what's going on inside your child's body.

Vaccinations May Cause 70% of Autism.
Vaccines
contain a slew of toxins, including mercury in many cases, which flood the body of an infant or child. These completely overwhelm
the child's ability to deal with those toxins. With undeveloped immune systems, babies and young children simply 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 than it is able to get rid
of. As a consequence, the toxins get stored in the cells. This toxin buildup prevents the brain from functioning properly
- and may lead to autism.
According to the CDC's own website, common ingredients in vaccines include:
-
antibiotics (which many children are
allergic to)
-
aluminum gels (which can, if there is
a silicon deficiency, cause brain conditions like those exhibited in Alzheimer's disease)
-
formaldehyde (a highly toxic carcinogen)
-
monosodium glutamate or MSG (a potent
excito-toxin capable of causing seizures, brain tumors and more)
-
egg protein (which can cause a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction)
-
sulfites (which can cause allergic reactions)
Some researchers point the finger at Hepatitis B vaccine as a major cause of autism. Others
point to the MMR vaccine as a major cause. Both are potential causes, for slightly different reasons.
The
hepatitis B vaccine is especially bad because the baby is so young when exposed to it. As many vaccine experts point out,
giving the hepatitis B vaccination to newborns, as is done now, makes no sense at all because a newborn's immune system is
not developed. So it can't produce an immune response to the vaccine. Vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system,
but in newborns, there is nothing for the vaccine to stimulate. So it does no good. All is good for is making plenty
of money for the drug companies, the doctors who give the vaccines, and unfortunately, it is also good for causing autism
in many children.
Four Major
Underlying Conditions Found in Every Autistic Child
An
overload of toxins that the immune system is not able to get rid of disrupts normal brain function. This eventually initiates
an autoimmune response where the immune system attacks the brain and nerve cells as it tries the best it can to get rid of
the toxins.
The
mitochondria are the energy producing section of your cells. When they are damaged by the toxic overload in the brain cells
and are not able to produce energy to fuel the cell, the cell dies. An autistic child has many dead or poorly functioning
brain cells (where the toxic overload was not quite so great and the mitochondria are producing energy at a minimal level.)
Fortunately,
these poorly functioning cells can be detoxified and their mitochondria healed so they can produce more energy. And they have
the capacity to take over functions the dead cells were supposed to be doing.
Autistic
children suffer from immune disregulation, which is the autoimmune response mentioned previously. It means that their immune
systems do not respond normally. What happens is the overload of viruses or bacteria wears out the side of the immune system
that is supposed to kill these pathogens. It becomes weak and worn out and can't get rid of them. So the inflammatory side
of the immune system tries to take over. Unfortunately, this side is not supposed to kill pathogens, and does a poor job of
it. This causes chronic inflammation which destroys or injures the infected myelin sheath.
Immune
disregulation is also very apparent in the gastrointestinal health of children with autism. Most suffer from symptoms ranging
from diarrhea, gas, and bloating to intestinal lesions and inflammation of their gastrointestinal system. (This is also partly
from the Candida yeast infection.)
The
myelin sheath is an insulator which protects our nerves from electrical impulses while simultaneously causing those impulses
to travel faster. When the myelin sheath surrounding and protecting the nerves becomes damaged by the viruses introduced into
the body by vaccinations, or by the Lyme disease bacteria if a child has been exposed to that.
