The Underlying Causes of Autism By Michael Biamonte In my opinion, I believe that Autism is caused by a series of genetic errors, exposure to toxic metals, particularly mercury from dental fillings and common vaccinations, poor cerebral blood flow and then the growth of candida and viruses in the body. These factors combine to create the "Autistic Child." These are the "Steps to Autism". Both from my own observations and the study of thousands of lab tests of children with Autism and ADD I confidently make these statements of fact. In addition, independent researches have made these same observations independent of my opinions. In 1984 I 1st began to consult the parents of children with learning disabilities and behavioral issues who had no obvious pathology, retardations or birth defects. Within the year of studying the hair mineral tests of at lease 12-15 children, I begin to observe that almost all the children had elevated levels of several different toxic metals. After developing vitamin- mineral detox programs for these children and implementing then over the period of 6-8 months not only did the test show a great improvement, but the behavioral issues dramatically improved as well. This was my 1st actual experience with the relationship between toxic metals and these unexplained behavioral problems in children that were just be labeled "Autism" and "Attention Deficit Disorder." As time has progressed, I observed that Autistic and ADD children will typically test positive for Candida Albicans overgrowth and other types of intestinal imbalances. It is has been found that Candida and other intestinal organisms can release neurological toxins that can effect memory and moods. I feel that this is a component of Autism and adds to the cognitive issues that Autistic children demonstrate. In the mid to late the "boom" in the diagnosis of Autism may be directly coincidental to the increased use of Mercury containing vaccinations. "Thymerisol", is the mercury containing preservative found in vaccinations that have been found responsible for a large amount of mercury burden found in children. Dr. Rashid Buttar has done considerable mercury detoxification of children with Autism. Dr.Buttar treated his own son for mercury related Autism and has effectively cured him. He brought his son with him when he spoke before the United States Congress on the relationship between mercury and Autism. His son testified in front of congress and became youngest person ever to do so. Dr. Buttar explains his position on his website as such; WHAT CAUSES AUTISM? It is generally accepted that autism is caused by abnormalities in brain structure or function. Researchers are investigating a number of theories, including a possible link between heredity, genetics, and medical problems. Although there appears to be a pattern of autism or related disabilities in many families, researchers have not yet identified a single "trigger" that causes autism to develop. Highly controversial is a potential relationship between autism and the mercury in thimerosal, a preservative used until recently in many childhood vaccines. Some argue that in children whose systems cannot expel the toxic metal, brain damage results. A 2001 investigation by the Institute of Medicine concluded that the "evidence favors rejection of a causal relationship…between MMR vaccines and autistic spectrum disorders (ASD)." The committee acknowledged, however, that it could not rule out the possibility that the MMR vaccine could contribute to ASD in a small number of children. More research is warranted WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF AUTISM? Autism is a spectrum disorder, the symptoms of which can appear in a wide variety of combinations from mild to severe. Individuals with autism may have trouble initiating and/or maintaining a conversation, talking "at" others in a sort of monologue. Autistic children also may have sensory integration problems, with their senses over- or under-active. Aggressive and/or self-injurious behavior may be evident in some cases. According to the CDC, categories of problems that may appear in an individual with autism or another ASD include: Social skills: Individuals with ASDs may not interact with others normally, make eye contact, or express empathy. Children may resist being held or cuddled and may not notice when others try to engage them in conversation. Speech, language, and communication: About 40% of children with ASDs do not talk at all, and others have echolalia, meaning they repeat what was said to them. Gestures such as waving goodbye may be misunderstood, pronouns may be confused, and they may talk too loudly or softly without knowing it. Those with ASDs may have trouble listening, instead delivering a "speech" about a favorite topic. Repeated behaviors and routines: ASD individuals resist change and cling to routine so they know what to expect. Some may repeat actions over and over again. Development: Children with ASDs develop at different rates in different areas of growth. For example, they might have large delays in language, social, and cognitive skills, while their motor skills may be similar to other children their age. They may excel at solving puzzles but may be unable to make friends or easily carry on a conversation. According to the Autism Society of America (www.autism-society.org), autistic persons may exhibit some of the following characteristics:
Because there are no medical tests for diagnosing autism, a diagnosis must be based on observation of an individual's communication, behavioral, and developmental characteristics over a period of time. Autistic behaviors may or may not be apparent in infancy, but usually are evident in children 24 months to 6 years old. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) lists these five behaviors that may suggest further evaluation:
The Steps Explained
When you treat a child with Autism, they may intermittently worsen! When you remove toxic metals from the body the person feels temporarily poisoned. When you kill candida the dead debris from the candida cause an allergic reaction referred to a "Herxhimer reaction", which makes the person feel ill. Parents treating the child for the true underlying causes of Autism often must endure periods of the Child's symptoms appearing worse as a result of the detoxification. The Long Range Treatment Plan
