Integrated 4 Part Therapy for Autism

There seem to be hundreds of therapies for autism on the market today and "on the market" seems to be the reason – money.

However, there is no real integration of any of these therapies and little information for the "poor" parents with an autistic child (and "poor" is often correct as autism is a "bankrupting disease").

There are four different basic problems with four different therapies needed to solve them and work towards any cure or improvements. These are:

Mercury and other heavy metal toxins

Allergies and food sensitivities

Digestive (gut) problems

Inadequate nutrition

Dealing with Heavy Metal toxicity.

This is the major problem and few doctors really understand it. Measuring heavy metal, particularly in an autistic infant or child is no simple matter. Few MDs are aware that the autistic patients are ALWAYS short in any chelating material in the blood, such as Vitamin C, or glutathione. (At every autism conference, there are several booths, each extolling a different way to get expensive glutathione into an autistic child. Vitamin C is cheaper and better.)

The doctor takes blood or urine sample, and runs a mineral assay, comparing the heavy metals to the nutritional minerals in the blood stream. They believe that this is somewhat accurate, BUT IT’S NOT!

Understand that the function of the liver is to filter these toxic minerals out of the blood so that they cannot get to the brain where they can actually kill brain cells. Once the toxins are filtered into the liver, some are gradually shifted to other safe storage areas of the body. However, with a large load of mercury, such as multiple vaccines, added to what’s already in the liver, the liver may not be able to handle it all and brain cells are damaged or killed. (Check the mother’s mercury level as well.)

The liver is under strict instructions NEVER to release these toxins until and unless some chelation material is present in the bloodstream. A chelating material combines with the heavy metal, and converts it to a harmless chemical that is water soluble, and it can be filtered out via the kidneys and urine pathway.

So, if blood is measured, what is actually measured is only what the liver can release (if a chelate is present, a short time after the chelate is sensed). Blood then may contain at that time and for some time after, a reasonable amount of the toxin. Urine takes this similar amount out of the body after it has been filtered out by the kidneys. (Adults may be measured more accurately by hair analysis.) So, if you followed the above, you can see that with an autistic child it is more than likely any measurement of mercury or lead will show a false negative – that is actually below toxicity.

How can you get a more accurate or at least NOT a false negative reading? Pre-load your child with Vitamin C. I recommend vitamin C for several reasons: It’s cheap; it’s antiviral and antibacterial; and the only bad side effect is diarrhea, even for infants.
