The Basic Steps Towards An Autism Cure

Autism improvement (or cure) has two stages
1. The first stage consists of finding and solving the “physical” portions of autism.
2. The second stage consists of behavior training and other education.
This article is devoted to the first stage. That stage has three distinct and separate therapies involved:
1. Finding and solving the cause of the “brain damage.
2. Solving the nutritional puzzle(s).
3. Solving the allergy problems.
The Brain Damage Problem
While mercury is a major cause of brain damage, there are other causes such as a birth or pre-birth accident, or even very poor nutrition by the mom during pregnance. Drug addict moms are also sometimes responsible.
At present there’s little that can be done for the actual physical damage other than increasing oxygen to the brain. Neuroliminal Training does this by increasing brain blood flow by subliminal messaging during sleep..
However, Mercury poisoning from the huge increase in infant and child vaccines combined with more and more in our environmnt.
Huge Pharma, the FDA, and the Bush government knew a long time ago that the mercury (used as a preservative to lengthen shelf life) was causing brain damage in infants. The big increase of cases from 1 in 10,000 to the present 1 in 150 or so corresponds to the use of mercury and the increase of “required” infant vaccines, that loads so much mercury in this mix that the liver simply cannot take it all out of the bloodstream, and the brain blood barrier can’t stop it from the brain circulation, and it does this physical damage killing brain cells.
(And then, the FDA (controlled entirely by Huge Pharma) spent a lot of money trying to make any drugs approved by the FDA, not subject to lawsuits. How’s that for a “double play”?)
Here’s another tiny known fact about mercury poisoning.The toxins stored in the liver cannot be gotten out of the liver unless there is some way available to “neutralize it, and then excreting the combination out of the body.
Blood testing has been used by Huge Pharma to “prove” that mercury “wasn’t” the source. They are well aware that if no chelating material is in the blood, there will be tiny or no mercury present either. A false proof indeed!)
This brings us to the first step in finding out how much mercury or other mineral toxins are stored. Start at least a week prior to any blood or urine tests, and two months prior to any hair analysis. Load the person with about 1000 mg (1 gram) of plain old vitamin C for each 10 pounds of person to be tested. There is completely no danger of overdosing, as the only effect is diarrhea. Split doses in two or three or more doses per day.
Now, be sure to take the sample of blood or urine within 2-4 hours after taking the Vitamin C.
The next step is chelating (means grab onto) the mercury (and all other minerals), render it non-toxic in combination, and water soluble so that it is filtered by the kidneys and taken out of the body.
There are several other chelators, some very high-priced, and somewhat faster than Vitamin C , but I like it because it also confers protection against viruses and bacteria in these big doses, and it’s cheap.
FYI, the cheapest Ascorbic Acid works just as well as the most expensive form, however, if the person is allergic to corn, then you might want to use Calcium Ascorbate, which is unlikely to cause allergic symptoms.(Those persons who think they are allergic to vitamins, are only usually allergic to corn, and can use Calcium Ascorbate!)
Autistic infants are virtually always low in another “natural” chelator called Glutathione. This is part of the autism picture. The problem is that it is very difficult (and expensive) to supply and keep it in the body. Vitamin C is easy.
Unless the mercury stored in the liver and other locations is taken down to very safe low level, the brain damage might continue. Thus the above is a critical first step in solving the autism puzzle. Without solving it, the rest of the puzzle is much more difficult.
The Nutritional Problems
These toxic minerals have a massive amount of stress to the body.This additional stress (you guessed it) requires even more nutrition. The “normal” digestive tract contains bacteria that may be deadly if it gets into the bloodstream. The digestive system is designed so that doesn’t happen. It breaks down food into basic molecules, sugars, fatty acids, and amino acids in particular.
Protein is just a collection of various amino acids – the building blocks of all animals as well as bacteria and viruses. The system breaks these down to only a very few amino acids in what is called a peptide string. This makes sure than any bacteria or virus or yeast cannot get into the bloodstream as they are all much larger than the “usual” peptides coming thru in a “normal” system.
With this stress, the brain realizes that it MUST get more nutrition, so it opts for increasing the input all from the gut. This means that bigger and larger peptide strings are able to pass into the bloodstream.What’s called a “Leaky Gut Syndrome” is the result.
Some of these bigger peptide strings might resemble a virus or bacteria, and the brain puts up a “danger signal”.Now a food allergy is developed (or technically food sensitivity). (The “usual” first foods for infants are milk and bread products, thus the casein free, gluten free diets often improve some autistic symptoms.)
The Leaky Gut Syndrome causes another very important problem. It often grants the natural bacteria colonies that help digestion to become overrun with yeast. The overuse of antibacterial drugs contributes as most are made from fungus/yeast. The “healthy gut” has a balance of bacteria and yeast.
So, we now have a vicious downward spiral. This is a common story with autistic children.
The first step is obviously to begin getting enough nutrition so that the Leaky Gut Syndrome is no longer needed. This means starting a vitamin mineral program and cutting out high carb sugary foods, replacing those with good home cooked meals, high in protein, and fiber along with those vitamins and minerals.
It’s hard to get away from “junk foods”, but it’s necessary if you want to really help an autistic child.Better health for the whole family is a good result. You know what to eat – good meat, fresh fruits and vegetables.
Clearing up the food allergies
As mentioned earlier, mineral toxicity causes huge stress on the brain and body.These LeakyGut formed allergens are added to whatever “born in” allergies are present making a huge amount of stress that requires even more nutrition to just handle. Anything that lessens this stress is valuable indeed..
Most of these so-called “brain allergies” are unsuspected by the person with them. Unlike the environmental allergies, causing visible symptoms such as hay fever, hives, etc, these only affect the brain, and most mental problems are due to these and the resulting stress.I was very surprised when I found that any allergy can be responsible for anything from insomnia to schizophrenia and bipolar depression.

There are lots of ways to solve allergy problems, ranging from the very expensive Neurofeedback clinics, the slightly less high-priced allergy clinics, all the way to many “alternate” therapies, including Neuroliminal Training (NT), one of the most effective, yet inexpensive therapies available. It’s extremely easy, done at home, and consists of “sleep therapy using a special CD that actually does the same thing as the expensive NFB clinics – name raise one special brain wave that seemingly changes the affect on the brain by allergens.
