Another "Mercury causes Autism and here's how you cure this horrible, tragic disease" site.

Some choice excerpts:

"CAUSES OF AUTISM
• Vaccinations
• Environmental Toxins
• Lack of Glutathione
• Candida Overgrowth
• Viral Infections
• Foods containing Genetically Modified Organisms
• A Hiatal Hernia that disrupts protein digestion"

"The hepatitis B vaccination given to newborns makes no sense at all because a newborn’s immune systems is not developed at all. It can’t produce an immune response to the vaccine. As vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system, there is nothing for the vaccine to stimulate. So it does no good. All it is good for is to make plenty of money for the drug companies, the doctors who give the vaccines, and unfortunately, it seems to be a good way to create autism."

"Rebecca Carley, MD reports that "What the CDC does not list is that 13 vaccines at present (and more are in the works) are actually cultured on aborted human fetal tissues (go to http://www.cogforlife.org for more info).”

The CDC fails to mention the ethyl-mercury containing preservative thimerosol that has been in many vaccines, and still is in some. Dr. Carley points out that the "rate of occurrence of autism in the last generation became self-evident proof that vaccines are the causative factor."'

"it is also likely an initial Candida yeast infection in some children that causes the leaky gut syndrome that allows the continued flow of brain damaging toxins into the bloodstream. This combination of yeast infections with viral infections, a whacked out immune system from toxins and toxic heavy metal overload leads to autism. Toxins are one of the major underlying issues."

"Glutathione is a protein that is your main cellular detoxifier. It is also one of the two top antioxidants in your body. And acts as a viral killer in each and every cell in your body. It is deficient in children with autism. This is because the body's supply of glutathione has been used up detoxifying the the overload of toxins, and fighting cellular pathogens. And the child is not able to replenish those levels because their digestion is impaired so glutathione production has been diminished."

"One of the more insidious possible sources of bacteria and viruses that can cause intestinal malfunction is genetically modified foods. Foods containing genetically modified organisms (gmo's) have been introduced into our diets in the same time period that autism rates have exploded. There may well be a connection..."

"The single best way to detoxify brain cells is to get glutathione back into the cells. Unfortunately, even though glutathione can be purchased as a freeform amino acid at your local health food store, taking glutathione in this way basically just doesn't work. Even though it can get into the bloodstream, it doesn't get into the cells where you need to get it."

"Using Glutathione PleoLyposome is the very fastest way to detoxify brain cells of the toxic chemicals disrupting it. It may well prove to be the most important supplement to give to improve autism. Especially as the more you take, the more the myelin sheath will be repaired. (Ultra Detox is another heavy metal chelator that also supplies the right kind of phosphocholine as it helps to detoxify. You will read more about it later.)"

"TESTIMONIAL

“I am very excited to share with you some of the immediate results that your product Glutathione Pleolyposome has brought about in my four year old autistic son Corbin. The morning after I gave him the very first dose, he was intently staring me in the eyes unlike he had ever done before.

Prior to this time he would give fleeting eye contact and would stare blankly into nothing (like day-dreaming), but didn't seem to focus on another's face. Now he seems to really focus on not only other's faces but also on everything else. I am guessing it is as if things are becoming clearer to him.


“After his second dose, he amazed me even more by going into the bathroom and standing by the toilet as if to tell me that he had to use the potty. I have worked with him for over a year and he had never done that before. The best he had done previously was to lead me to the bathroom. He has been fairly consistent at walking into the bathroom and standing next to the toilet when he has to go ever since.


“The results amaze me; Corbin has spoken new words and even a few phrases since he has started taking Glutathione Pleolyposome less than on a week ago. For example, when he saw his mother's yellow car pull up, he said “yellow.” I have worked with him on a few colors, red & blue, but he barely spoke them, and I never really even tried to get him to say yellow before. Another recent development is when he stands at the door of the refrigerator and matches up the magnetic letters of the alphabet by shape.


“I have always known my son was intelligent, but I couldn't focus him or get an accurate idea of what he was able to comprehend. Now he seems to be showing me what he is able to comprehend by more than simple leading and pointing. He has been receiving 20 hours of supportive services each week, but there was never really a changed noted that resulted from the services.

“My son was advancing on par with other children his age until he was approximately 18 months old; more than coincidentally it was very soon after he had a round of vaccinations that his symptoms started. He lost most of his acquired speech, he stopped most eye contact, and he started displaying other behaviors such as spinning and inappropriate use or attachments to objects.


“From what I understand certain children are less able to detoxify when they are exposed to substances such as Thimerisol, and children diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) are known to produce lower levels of Glutathione which contributes to the detoxification process.

“Like many other parents of children with ASD, I don't expect a miracle moment where my child just snaps out of it and completely functions at a level appropriate for his age, but I do believe that much of ASD is just a label and that our children can improve or even recover from the diagnosis.

“I once compared the symptoms of mercury poisoning to the symptoms of autism. The two conditions have many similarities, but my son had a few that were not related to autism.

“I could go on and on about all of this, but I really just want to get the word out that my “autistic” son continues to display very positive results in the short-time he has been taking Glutathione Pleolyposome. The product is so easy to use; I just put a teaspoon of it in his juice first thing in the morning.

“I am very confident that with continued use, my son will continue to find his way back. There have been times when I have felt defeated and considered giving up, resigned to the fact that Corbin might not be able to advance much further. If I were to believe the medical community then I would have, but my son is too important for me not to keep trying to do everything possible (without risking his health) to assist him to become all he is capable of. I don't believe in miracle products, but I do believe in results, and Glutathione Pleolyposome has brought about results faster than I could have hoped for. It would be selfish of me not to share information about Glutathione Pleolyposome with others, as I hope many others will also benefit from it. On that note, I will end this, but I will definitely keep you posted of Corbin's continued progress.

Thank you so much!”

Sincerely,

Vince A. Porter"



......Ugh.
Appearantly LiveJournal picked up on the fact that I'm interested in autism.  It makes me sick to see ads for these sites on my Friends' page.


And where is the hard evidence to support these claims!?!?

That's at the bottom of the article. I was going to fire off an email to them, and I still might but it has to be worded carefully with this in mind.

But yes - the person who wrote this has no idea.

I was wondering if this particular vein of idiocy is limited to the USA?
Children have become instruments for obtaining social status, and parents compete viciously to have the "best" children.  They not only want to "keep up with the Jones'", they want to surpass them.  Having a "defective" child in such a society is anathema.
One of the first books I read about autism last year was A Real Boy.  Talk about child-hating crap!  I was horrified by the things this mother did to make her child "normal".  There needs to be some form of Child Protective Services to protect children from parents like these, who are perfect "marks" for products like these described in posts above.

I really believe that's what it comes down to, at least in the USA.  Having a "defective" child lowers your social status, and nowhere in the world do you find social climbers like you do here.

Not to mention that the very idea of social climbing is foreign to many Aspies.
Well said, Jewelie. Social climbing in our eyes (for the most part) is a waste of energy and dishonest - so we don't do it.

I did send a message to the website calling the article "poorly researched". I'll bet I don't get a reply. If as many people as possible do the same thing (and keep it brief) maybe they'll think twice.

You can mark me for agreeance, as well.  Big Grin

You write words the way a Siren sings, Timelord; a crystalline clarity which is not often seen.  I'd say jewelie does the same.  Well said.

Just the other day there was a news story in Sweden that said that new parents here have become less afraid of vaccinating their newborns. Some 90-95% of all newborns in Sweden get vaccinated for 3 very common diseases; the measles + 2 others whose names I don't know. The story said that parents got scared 6-7 years ago when the scare mongers announced that kids can get autistic from vaccination.

measles,mumps and rubella-the MMR vaccine scare

Believe it or not, I got a reply everyone! And typically - they are from the curebie side of the fence;

Quote:
Even if autism has a genetic component, so that say, a child might not be able to handle toxins as well as another child or perhaps  
there is a genetic issue with the ability to produce glutathione,  
that does not mean that they wouldn't benefit from detoxification. It  
would mean that they would need more help. Also, show me some proof  that autism is genetic and that nothing can help. We have much  
feedback from parents whose autistic children have benefited greatly  
from using supplements. Are you wanting to justify doing nothing for  
your child?


The man's name is Robert Harrison. I fired off a reply telling him to stop treating Autism like a disease and promoted psychological support for bothe the kids and the parents. I also gave him a history of Autism (1893 as youth dementia) and told him to verify his info with the FDA and the CDC. I also told him to do more research, and watch the Autism Omnibus case (which starts next Monday BTW) if he wants prove of the genetic basis of ASD's! And I finished by telling him I wasn't against helping children. I'm against helping them the wrong way!

Wonder if THIS gets a reply from him? I doubt it!

There was a major report out from the Human Genome Project (USA) earlier this year PROVING that autism is "over ninety percent genetic".  Sorry I don't have time to hunt down the exact citation right now, but will try later.

Frickin' capitalist idiots.
Get it ASAP, Jewelie! Would love to chuck that at the curebies - with all guns blazing!

And hear hear on that last remark!
UGH!!!  I've spent about 30 min looking for this article, and it seems it was party funded by the damn curebies!  I didn't know/realize that when I posted earlier.

http://www.nimh.nih.gov/press/largest-ev...-clues.cfm

Josph Buxbaum was one of the researchers, I googled him and human genome project autism 2007 to try to find this.
I believe the article is in
Nature Genetics volume 39, pages 319-328, published March 01, 2007.

The other trouble is that I can't find the 90% quote.

MEA CULPA

VERY SORRY, wish I'd kept my mouth shut.

Please don't forward this info without reading it first, and probably not then either.
Cure??

WE ARE THE CURE!!!
Jewelie, I don't think you need to be concerned. All the articles means with that "bad part" is if they discover the gene that is at the root of the trouble they can move to the next step. But that next step involves fiddling with the DNA, and that's going to start a new rash of hysteria from a completely different source (ie designer babies etc etc).

Anyway - as the good part says - it will silence the curebies once and for all.
Which issue was that, Alison??

*pissed off yet again at the media over generalising*
It's not even easy if the parent is autistic. My mom still hasn't accepted my diagnosis fully. She thinks that you can't possibly be autistic if you can talk and live on your own, and both of us can do both of those things even though any decent neuropsych would diagnose her with Asperger's, same as me, in a heartbeat.

It has to do with the stigma surrounding disability. I remember how my mom always used to scare me into wearing a seat belt and doing other safety-related things by saying I would get a brain injury or spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair if I didn't. It seemed like she thought those were the worst things that could possibly happen to you. Maybe she does think that.

I can't understand how she could think that, though; she is an OT and works with disabled people all the time. She even used to work with autistic kids before she got kicked out for not kissing up to the principal well enough. It's just that the disabled people I've met are just plain people, and I don't see why they are any more disadvantaged than anybody else. I mean, everybody's got problems, and working around a set of uncooperative legs or a banged-up brain doesn't seem nearly as hard as a lot of the things that nondisabled people get themselves into.

I'll admit I did do a bit of curious staring when I met my first wheelchair user (a kid named Nathan--my mom wanted me to be his friend because he didn't have any and neither did I). It was just that, though; curiosity. I wanted to know what caused his disability and how he used the wheelchair and how fast he could make it go. But I knew not to ask those things because my mom had taught me early on, without meaning to, that disability is shameful and you're not supposed to talk about it.

So there you go. Many moms don't like the idea of a disabled child; so they think "illness" instead because an "illness" implies recovery and a return to normality. It's not just the autistics who don't like change... their NT moms, in a culture where disability=tragedy, are every bit as frightened by the concept of developing a new norm for their families.
