Autism: The Spectrum Disorder



What Is Autism?

Autism is the term given to a set of developmental abnormalities characterized by an inability to construct sentences, pay attention, engage in conversation and demonstrate normal social skills. Autism has been labeled as a “Spectrum Disorder” meaning it has many different manifestations and symptoms that, although different, fall under the same category – Autism. It is such a broad diagnosis that it can include people with high IQs and mental retardation. People with autism can be chatty or silent, affectionate or cold, methodical or disorganized. According to the CDC, autism has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S. while other countries seem to have been able to avoid this health crisis. Autism is now diagnosed in 1 out of 110 American children and this number is increasing. 





Why does it happen?

A vital fact for you to know is that we live in a highly toxic world. There are 82,000 chemicals in our water, food and air. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has only tested 22,000 of them as to their harmful effects.



A recent study in 2006 found the placenta of newborn children contained 280 chemicals; 180 that cause cancer, 217 that cause neurological damage, and 208 that cause birth defects. These infants received these chemicals through their mother’s blood.

Growing research indicates toxic chemicals could be one of the triggers of autism.

A new study published May 15, 2007 in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health by Drs. Mark and David Geier, both leading advocates for mercury-free vaccines, clearly suggests that there is a direct causal link between mercury exposure from Thimerosal-preserved vaccines and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Thimerosal (49.55% mercury by weight) is a highly toxic mercury compound used as a preservative in some over-the-counter and prescription drugs, including most flu shots given to pregnant women, infants, children, adults, and the elderly.

Another cause of autism and other health problems involves the blockage of proper blood flow due to trauma.

How can it be cured?

There are two solutions available, not only regarding autism, but to improve your overall general health. The first is detoxifying the body of toxic heavy metals and the second is improving neurological function.

There are two ways to remove toxic chemicals from your body. The first method is to do a nutritional cleansing program designed to replace harmful chemicals with the trace minerals your body needs. The second method is to use what is called a chelating agent to eliminate harmful chemicals. Chelation is a process used to extract heavy metals from the body using a chelating agent. Chelating agents are substances that, by their structure, attach to heavy metals, combine with them, and are then removed from the body in your urine and feces.

The Chinese discovered that cuts, physical or mental trauma and even things as common as dental work can cause blocks in the flow of blood to organs, glands and tissues of the body causing them to malfunction. Acupuncture is a system of healing designed to remove blockages in the flow of blood. An Acupuncturist works to restore the proper flow of blood necessary to improve bodily functions.
