Autism: What You Haven't Been Told

Certain things about the causes of autism many scientists seem to be hiding from the public. Learn some facts today. There's much more to autism than genetics. This should be made obvious and apparent by the fact that only one percent of autistic children are found to have genetic mutations that are known to be responsible for autism. In the other ninety-nine percent of autistic children, there seems to be something else amiss, entirely different from genetics. Environmental, it seems.

Autism is an extremely disabling neurodevelopmental disorder, the rate of occurrence of which has increased 60-fold since the 1970s. About one in every one-hundred-fifty children in the United States will be diagnosed with some form of autism, including Asperger's syndrome.

Autism may be apparent within the first few months after birth, marked by slow development, such as not walking or not being able to be fed easily, or merely just staying very still, autism has a tendency to only show itself later on down the line--perhaps within the first few years of life. This suggests strongly that autism is either not present at birth in a majority of affected children, or that autism is somehow a ticking time-bomb that only actually manifests itself a little later after birth, such that it can't be detected.

It is strongly suggested that autism can be caused by heavy metals. No, not rock bands. Ethylmercury makes up about 50 percent of thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative used in almost all vaccines. Mercury, being a heavy metal, is known and has already been established to have sometimes dire effects on a wide variety of functions in the body, for the worse, that is, including hearing, taste, smell, touch, deteriorating gross or fine motor skills, and causing strange behavior.

It is interesting to note that autism usually appears within the first two years of life, and during the first two years of life, a child will usually receive many vaccinations, shots, boosters, et cetera. With most vaccines being preserved by a mercury-based preservative, it's a very interesting, very condemning, piece of information. Other preservatives used in vaccines include aluminum, and formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is something they use to preserve frogs with in your biology class from high school. Remember how they tell you not to touch it, and not let it touch your skin, and definitely don't swallow it? But the pharmaceutical industry thinks it's perfectly okay to inject it into your body. Directly into your blood, and the blood of your children.

I'm sorry doctor, I don't quite follow your logic, there.

There is also substantial evidence that the damaged viruses present in vaccines may have an effect on the recipients, who are usually three years old or younger. This evidence is equally damning as the evidence that mercury and other preservatives in the vaccines may be the culprit.

Some evidence suggests that the cause of autism is related to autoimmune problems directly resultant from the virus matter in the vaccines. The theory with this, is that an abnormal immune reaction occurs that sets the body to create antibodies against the brain.

It is also extremely important to note that the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine typically given in the early years of life has been marked as a very likely culprit for the outbreak, yes, outbreak, of autism in the United States. Myelin basic protein is a protein needed in order to produce the myelin sheath on all the nerve cells in your body. If the construction of myelin is inhibited (as by the action of measles, the mumps, and rubella, which these three diseases have been shown to cause in young people who have had them), your nerves will not work properly. Resultant are symptoms like those of autism. Neurological dysfunction.

Other evidence suggests that autism is contributed to or caused by the inability of some people to break down casein, the primary protein of milk. Individuals who drink a lot of milk, especially milk from cows that have been exposed to hormones, antibiotics, and other drugs, in order to keep them producing milk, seem have a much higher likelihood of becoming autistic.

There is yet more evidence that the types of radiation emitted by your cell phone may be a cause. The electromagnetic radiation from cell phones (and it is interesting to note that cell phones have become increasing used since the 1970s) causes heavy metal buildup in the brain and is now shown to have negative effects on cell membranes.

What can you do to ensure that your children do not become autistic? Make sure they get proper sun exposure. Make sure they do not consume any milk after they are done breast feeding. Eliminate the consumption of refined sugar. And if at all possible, don't make them get vaccinations. If you must have them vaccinated, be sure and get a vaccine that is not preserved with mercury, thimerosal, ethylmercury, formaldehyde, aluminum anything, and many other damaging preservatives. Be careful.
