Mercury and autism: Accelerating Evidence?
http://store-5c5c7.mybigcommerce.com/content/AUTISM%20AND%20Hg/autism_reprint.pdf
Taken together, all the above mentioned data from experimental, clinical and partly from epidemiological studies appear to show that repetitive mercury expo-sure during pregnancy (through thimerosal and dental amalgam), and after birth, through thimerosal containing vaccinations in genetically susceptible individuals is one potential pathogenetic factor in autism.

Mercury, Lead, and Zinc in Baby Teeth of Children with Autism Versus Controls http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15287390601172080
This study suggests that children with autism had a higher body burden of mercury during fetal/infant development. Higher use of oral antiobiotics in the children with autism may have reduced their ability to excrete mercury, and hence may partially explain the higher level in baby teeth. Higher usage of oral antibiotics in infancy may also partially explain the high incidence of chronic gastrointestinal problems in individuals with autism.

Immunological Findings in Autism
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/16512356/
A mercury link with the immune system has been postulated due to the involvement of postnatal exposure to thimerosal, a preservative added in the MMR vaccines. MMR antibodies are significantly higher in autistic children as compared to normal children, supporting a role of MMR in autism.

Several hundred pages in, it's revealed that vaccines are tied to autism as outlined in a chart along with a long list of other conditions caused by vaccines, including motor development delay, tremor and altered state of consciousness. Autism is listed in this chart as a nervous system and mental impairment disorder associated with receiving GSK's Infanrix hexa vaccine.

Neurologic Adverse Events Following Vaccination

Despite the assurances of the necessity and safety of vaccinations, there are more and more questions and doubts, which both physicians and parents are waiting to be clarified. It would be worthwhile to apply the precautionary principle-the ethical principle (from 1988) according to which if there is a probable, although poorly known, risk of adverse effects of new technology, it is better not to implement it rather than risk uncertain but potentially very harmful consequences.

In light of voluminous literature supporting the biologic mechanisms for mercury-induced adverse reactions, the presence of amounts of mercury in thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines exceeding Federal Safety Guidelines for the oral ingestion of mercury, and previous epidemiological studies showing adverse reactions from such vaccines, a causal relationship between thimerosal-containing childhood vaccines and neurodevelopment disorders and heart disease appears to be confirmed.

Mercury exposure can induce immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions similar to traits defining or associated with ASDs. Patients examined were exposed to significant mercury from Thimerosal-containing biologic/vaccine preparations during their fetal/infant developmental periods, and subsequently, between 12 and 24 mo of age, these previously normally developing children suffered mercury toxic encephalopathies that manifested with clinical symptoms consistent with regressive ASDs.

Experimental research, however, clearly shows that aluminum adjuvants have a potential to induce serious immunological disorders in humans. In particular, aluminum in adjuvant form carries a risk for autoimmunity, long-term brain inflammation and associated neurological complications and may thus have profound and widespread adverse health consequences.

Eggs-actly What the Doctor Ordered
I want to take a moment here and
thank all the chickens around the world for giving us such a great and powerful
superfood; the incredible egg. There’s too much cholesterol in eggs, you say?
Bah! That’s bad science propagated through ignorant outlets promoted by
companies who profit from low fat diets. These are the same brilliant
scientists who told us butter was bad and to switch to margarine. Now we know
how bad that advice was. Yes, all you low fat egg substitute wanna-bees and egg
white omelet eaters, you’ve got it all wrong. Historically, all over the world,
eggs have been considered a nutrient rich food. It’s only when scientists
discovered cholesterol that this basic staple was quickly vilified without
completely understanding the role of cholesterol and by misunderstanding the
true cause of heart disease. High cholesterol is an invented condition that
never needed a savior.
Not all eggs are created (and
processed) equal. When a chicken lays an egg, the outer surface is covered with
a natural “bloom” sealing the egg and helping prevent bacteria from entering. However,
before the eggs get to your supermarket (even the organic ones), they are
subject to a chlorine bath, or rinsed in lye, and most get a mineral oil
coating. The egg shell is a porous membrane much like our skin. What goes on
the outside of the shell can leach into the egg inside. Personally, I’m not a
fan of eating chlorine, lye, or petroleum derived mineral oil. Washing a freshly
laid, dirty egg covered with a stray fluffy feather, with vinegar just
before use is a much better cleaning method.
From here on out, when I used the
word “egg” I am referring to an egg laid by a pastured, free range chicken who
clucks in nature’s sunshine and whose diet consists of broad leaf weeds, bugs,
and worms. Look for a local farmer’s market or check out www.realmilk.com for a farm or co-op near
you. Of course Google can assist in the search as well.
Not only is cholesterol important
but the egg is a good source of protein, vitamin A, D, and E, thiamine,
riboflavin, folate, pyridoxine (B6), cobalamin (B12), pantothenic acid,
choline, calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, zinc, selenium, and copper. It has
lesser amounts of vitamin k, niacin, magnesium, potassium, and manganese. That’s
one heck of a vitamin pill. And the best way to eat them: Raw! Have you
forgotten about Rocky and his workout drink? Now, I’m not about to do that.
However, I do put a raw egg in my homemade breakfast smoothie: ½ an avocado, a
banana, big spoonful of organic yogurt, some fruit, and a raw eggs. Over the
top nutrition and you will never taste the egg or feel its consistency.
So what about that cholesterol
business? Science was just dead wrong. Time Magazine had it as their cover story
in June, 2014. Cholesterol is vital for
building healthy sex hormones and hormones that actually protect against heart
disease, not cause it. Vitamin D needs cholesterol for proper utilization. Bile
is critical to the digestive process and absorption of dietary fats. Bile salts,
made by the liver, require cholesterol. It is vital for proper brain and nerve
function. Cholesterol is critical to repair of damaged cells. When science
declares that there is too much cholesterol in your blood vessels, this is not
a finite disease but rather a symptom of cellular breakdown. It is your blood
vessels that are weak, losing their integrity, and thus cholesterol comes to
the rescue…acting like a Band Aid.
Instead of gobbling up our nutritious eggs and fats, our medical doctors
and pharmaceutical companies have strung us out on statin drugs designed to
lower cholesterol. These statin drugs come with a long list of side effects. The
most common side effect is muscle pain and weakness due to the depletion of
Co-Q10. Add to that,
neuropathy, heart failure, dizziness, cognitive impairment, cancer, depression,
pancreatitis and an increased risk of raised blood sugar levels and the
development of Type 2 diabetes.
It’s time to throw that bad science out in the recycle bin. It’s time to
reclaim our health and eat our eggs without guilt. It’s time to give our body
much needed nutrition that it has been denied. That is, of course, unless you
prefer ill health and all the side effects from statin drugs.

Vitamin A: Beauty or Beast?
One doesn’t have to look far to
find information demonizing high levels of vitamin A as being toxic. This
erroneous information is dutifully paraded about in front of pregnant women
warning them about birth defects. It’s been reported that high levels of
vitamin A can cause osteoporosis and be a precursor to hip fractures. Other
side effects include fatigue, irritability, nausea, and excessive sweating.
Nonetheless, vitamin A is
essential to health and life. Our vision (and eye health in general) is dependent
on vitamin A. Night blindness is a direct result of vitamin A deficiency.
Adequate levels of vitamin A are imperative for embryonic development and
proper transcription of the DNA (conflicting the data cited above). Cleft palate and harelip are results of vitamin A deficiency.
Strong bones and teeth, healthy skin and mucous membranes, the thyroid and
adrenal gland, rich blood, and the immune system are all reliant on vitamin A.
Measles is a result of vitamin A deficiency. Wound healing depends on vitamin A. So, does vitamin A harm or heal?
In 1919, vitamin A in egg yolks
was the first fat soluble vitamin to be discovered. In 1924, it was found that
vitamin A in butter or cod liver oil could help prevent xerophthalmia (dry
eyes) in children. By 1947 though, science had moved in, created, and accepted
a refined, synthetic chemical structure resembling vitamin A and began mass
producing it in the laboratory. However, Vitamin A is not one isolated,
man-made molecule. It is a family of compounds consisting of carotenoids (not
just beta carotene but also alpha and gamma), and a group of retinoids. It is
always found in nature buddying up to its synergistic fatty acids, enzymes,
trace minerals, chlorophyll, and other vitamins. Vitamin A is really a mosaic
of several interwoven complexes.
Herein lies the folly of the misguided,
research claiming vitamin A can be harmful. We must make, and understand, the distinction
between lifeless, isolated, inert, molecules made in a laboratory by a finite
thinking man and a live, whole food, independently active, vitamin A complex
perfected by an infinitely wise Mother Nature. Yes, synthetic vitamin A can be toxic as can be any artificial
supplement, pharmaceutical, or additive. I would not recommend this at all. On
the other hand, vitamin A from a whole food source such as raw butter from
grass fed cows, egg yolks from pastured chickens, and liver and organ meats
from free range animals are indispensable!
Accutane is a synthetic form of retinol used to
treat acne. It has been pulled from the market due to its mounting health
concerns. Though the FDA refuses to ban the drug, they issued an alert that
Accutane contributed to suicidal thoughts and actions. Some children whose mothers took
Accutane during pregnancy were born with nervous system defects, brain damage,
and congenital heart disease.
The vitamin A complex, unlike the
synthetic version, is so vital to life and our bodily functions that nature has
created a storage system for it. Excess vitamin A gets stored in our fat cells.
It is a survival mechanism. When supply becomes low (in tribal times when poor hunting
conditions produced little to no yield) we have a reserve tank. Strenuous exercise,
periods of physical growth, stress, infections, and pregnancy/lactation quickly
deplete vitamin A stores.
Do you eat raw butter, cod liver oil, or organ meat
regularly? How many eggs do you eat in a week? In a day? Raw eggs are best. I put
one in a blender with some yogurt, a banana and other fruit, and ½ an avocado.
That makes a great smoothie and you will never taste the egg or feel its texture.
Well, what about the vitamin A in
a carrot, sweet potato or other orange fruits and vegetables? The difference
between vitamin A in animal products and that in plants is that animal sources
contain retinol and plant sources contain carotene. Retinol is converted to
vitamin A and is immediately available for the cells to use. Carotene, in
contrast, must be converted to retinol first and that conversion ratio is poor.
The accepted ratio of how many units of beta-carotene are needed to produce one
unit of vitamin A is 6:1. What this means in English is that you have to eat an
awful lot of fruits and veggies to obtain even the daily minimal conversion. Carotenes
also need the assistance of fat, zinc, iron, vitamin E, and a thyroid hormone
called thyroxine to be converted to retinol. I am not telling you to ditch the
carrots. The carrot has infinite nutritional value. The moral to the story here
is that a balanced diet including clean meat/organs/fat is vital to maintaining
health.
Raw butter may be found by searching through www.realmilk.com for a farm or food co-op near you. I highly recommend cod liver oil from www.greenpasture.org. It has not been refined and does not have synthetic vitamins added to it.
