Autism and Inflammatory Triggers

Posted by on May. 1, 2012 at 7:36 PM

Every autistic patient that has been seen in the past twelve years has two things in common: toxic accumulation accompanied by immune interference with metabolites in the detoxification pathways along with metabolic immune, toxic immune and food related immune sensitivities. What are the key immune triggers? Toxic accumulation from the inability to break down and digest food, the inability to excrete microbial metabolites and the inability to excrete other toxins such as adjuvants (immune stimulants) in vaccines such as thimerosal and aluminum, all trigger immune activation. What does this mean exactly to your child?

If at any point in time the child is unable to adequately eliminate the heavy metal adjuvant toxins from vaccines, or the heavy metal exposure he/she receives in breast milk, then it will begin to accumulate in the child. When it reaches a certain threshold, the immune system will begin to remember it and for that toxin, that immune “recognition” interferes with the body’s ability to methylate and thereby process and excrete that toxin.  Please read more in details here http://chronicfatigueandnutrition.com/add-adhd/autism-inflammatory-triggers/

hey, you can do whatever you want... but toxicity and autism are two entirely different things.

Quoting Sheriff6:

People need to check out DAN pricing. We go in Austin and I can tell you in six months we probably have not spent 5,000 but I really don't care the cost I'd sell my house to get just the results that we have gotten so far even without any more improvement, but am hopeful for recovery.

Please don't tell me there are no recovery for autism, because there are way too many people with video proving otherwise. Do kids recover? Obviously not but that dose not mean we wont believe that it can't happen. Read Son-Rise.

Please I don't mean to offend, but what bothers me is they are seeing a huge connection between the gut and autism symptoms, and so when you make a blanket statement like there is no connection it is misleading. If you were around our grandson he has all the classic signs of autism.

So then during my several months of research before his parents acknowledge that there was a problem, I kept seeing the gut/autism link pop up all over the Internet. Could there be several reasons kids have autism.? Maybe? So when new parents come to this web site and see a blanket statement that there is no tie between it this might cause them to not even investigate that avenue.

I sware to tell the truth, the whole truth with my hand on Gods word that when we started treating our grandsons digestive issues the autism symptoms have lessened in a huge way and we have a reponsive child who hugs gives kisses, who plays with toys correctly now, who is aware of his surroundings, etc.... The evidenceis overwhelming that many of our chilren have a digestive disorder which is a huge part of the problem. They very well may have a gene that predisposes them to autism also. No one knows yet,

Are you a scientist? Doctor? If diet and biomedical are helping some of the children. I want parents to know because it has played a huge part in getting our grandson back and even more than that he hurts. He was having these disgusting poops that we could see chunks of food in. We knew his stomach hurt so we wanted to know why and the test that we got back from the laboratories that the DAN doctors wanted ran, showed us there were huge problems inside his little body.

Another thing here that bothers me is the bashing of DAN. Yes it is expensive, no, insurance dose not cover it, but that is not DANS fault. Every person that we see at the Johnson Clinic in Autin has a child on the spectrum, so just like all of you they don't care a hoot about autism they just care about the bottom line. Unless you've been to one and had a bad experience please don't bash them. And the person that has the friend that has spent 12k, are they getting good results? Why do they keep spending their money?

I would hope that every child that presents with autism symptoms that the standard protocol would be to look inside our children. I've talked to several parents of Autisitc chilren who say their child has never had a blood, urine, fecal test, that they are sent to OT,ST, ABA but if their is a physical cause that is hindering your child from behaving in a NT way wouldnt you want that addressed also?

Anyway, hugs to all of you because I know how hard it is!!!!!!

Of course I'm not that is why I won't say a blanket statement about what is or isn't since at this time the only one that truly knows the ends and outs the is and isn't is God.

I used the autism book by Robert sears. My son was severly autistic....started the biomedical treatments and now he's moderate. He looks at me, he communicates basic needs sometimes. It amazing the difference. I'm not saying it will work for every child, or even that ever family should try to treat autism by trying to lessen symptoms. I know many high functining autistic children who are doing great. For example that child from I love lamp posts. I thought to myself, gosh if that was how my son was functioning.....anyway. However, that is not my son. My child was not able to do the most basic things. The biomedical approach did...is working for my child. Please feel free to send me a letter if you want advice. I've been doing biomedical for a year now.

I think that those with severe cases of autism are more likely to try the biomedical approach. I use a naturalpathic doctor that was trained as a DAN Dr. Our visits are covered by insurance. The supplements are not. The supplements aren't that expensive because I shop around for the best price. He does not use any treatment that is not natural.

I have seen a great deal of improvement in my son. He is still severely autistic, however his tummy feels better and he is responding to therapy more.

I'm not expecting a miracle. I just feel the need to do something. He always had tummy problems, so it seemed like a good idea to try biomedical treatment.

uhm.... if it's a toxicity thing - I don't believe it's "autism" toxicity and autism are two separate things.

this to me is a realistic attitude about it.

I have GI track problems and my son and I are gluten-free and have done holistic vitamins and all sorts of stuff.

we are both for SURE healthier - it didn't however "cure" us of autism or being quirky. but we feel better and our stomaches don't hurt anymore LOL
