The Real Causes of Autism
Autism, like ADD, just means that the brain is traumatized in a certain way.
Autism occurs when the damage sustained by the brain either occurs in specific areas, or occurred at the time these areas were developing.
Autism can occur for several reasons. I have been brainmapping this condition and I've watched this issue slowly unfold.
One, we have archaic ways of testing for Lyme disease, which can be passed in utero to the infants, and lies there undetected. A vaccine to a sick child can overtax their system resulting in autism. But who knows which is the straw that breaks the camels back when it's hiding so well?
We need insurance companies to cover tests that work, not that suit their purposes of not detecting illness they have to pay out for.
We also have archaic tests for detecting neurotoxicity. Parents need to know which tests work best. Phthalates, styrene, benzene, lead, etc. These all damage the brain and we need to address this before vaccination and even pregnancy occurs.
I see the encephalopathy, the brain damage that occurs from Autism every day, and the harm from vaccines, Lyme and neurotoxicity. It doesn't show up in the cheap Western Blot and other testing.
If you want to only get it treated and tested so that it's covered by insurance, you're out of luck. And your prognosis will be very poor.
We are long past the time to do something about this! We need to mobilize and tell our doctors and health officials to get on the ball and get to the bottom of this!
And protect the doctors and researchers and testers who get the answers. come up with the treatments that work, and are piecing together the puzzle.
