Mercury Toxicity

The symptoms of mercury toxicity mimic many of the symptoms of autism. Higher levels of mercury have been shown to create symptoms that last up to 30 years! It aggravates every other medical condition.

The World Health Organization (WHO) admits that there are no safe levels of mercury exposure. Common exposure comes from vaccines, medications, coal emissions, dental amalgam fillings, and contaminated fish. Even in small amounts, mercury is dangerous.        

The extent of mercury damage to the brain and heart depends on age, sex, and genetic factors. Infants, children, and the elderly are the most at risk. Males are also higher risk due to testosterone increasing mercury’s neurotoxicity.

For more than 80 years, medical doctors have observed symptoms for those exposed to even very low levels of mercury.

Symptoms of mercury toxicity are:

• Excessive irritability/anger

• Timid behavior

• Depression

• Weakness etc

SOME OF THE BIOLOGICAL AFFECTS OF MERCURY

• Can cause lifelong immune deficiency.

• Causes a loss of glutathione

• Resists removal of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans

• Inactivates contacted molecules of glutathione two-fold.

• Reduces antioxidant levels

High Levels Of Aluminum Found In the Brains of People with Autism with Prof. Christopher Exley

Aluminum and Autism

We get toxic metals from the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, vaccinations, and much more. They are also in cookware and in the health care products most people use daily such as deodorants, fragrances, lotions, make-up, and so much more.

It is important to protect ourselves daily from environmental toxins. There are many things we can do such as eliminating the contaminated products we use. We can also take  a natural detoxifier daily that is proven to remove these harmful agents from our bodies. One of the best ways to do this is with Pure Body Extra Strength clinoptilolite zeolite.

Detoxify Heavy Metals with The Most Effective Zeolite on the Market Backed by Science

The company Touchstone, has a proprietary process it uses to bring their natural clinoptilolite zeolite called Pure Body Extra Strength, down to a nanosized particle. This allows detoxification to happen at an intracellular level.

This is important because it must be able to pull the metals out of the tissues and the cells where they reside. This includes. the cells of the brain.

Knowing that aluminum is present in drinking water is extremely concerning. However, studies showing natural zeolite to remove aluminum from water. Here is one example,

Aluminum removal from tap water using natural zeolite.

Animal Studies (using a variety of zeolites) – shows natural clinoptilolite effectively detoxes heavy metals and aluminum in rats: Novel, oxygenated clinoptilolite material efficiently removes aluminium from aluminium chloride-intoxicated rats in vivo. Read the study here.

rofessor Christopher Exley PhD FRSB is a biologist whom has been researching ‘aluminum and life’ for over thirty-six years. During this time, primarily at Keele University in the United Kingdom, he has published over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers and has earned the nickname from his peers of, “Mr Aluminum”.

Christopher Exley is an English chemist known for his research on the health effects of aluminum exposure. He is Professor of Bioinorganic Chemistry and group leader of the Bioinorganic Chemistry Laboratory at Keele University.

Professor Exley is part of the world’s leading group researching the efficacy and safety of aluminum adjuvants used in vaccines, and he himself is known as the world’s leading researcher on aluminum.

He is the author of the book, Imagine You Are An Aluminum Atom: Discussions With Mr. Aluminum. Find Dr. Exley’s website here. Read Dr. Exley’s Medical Blog here.

Environmental Toxins and How You Can Safely Detoxify Them with Dr. Lonky

In this podcast I interview environmental toxin expert, Dr. Stewart Lonky. Educating yourself on environmental toxins is important for everyone’s health, but it is paramount for parents of children with autism. People with autism have weak detoxification pathways so they tend to get backed up with a toxic overload even easier than the average person does. What does this mean to you?

Many health and behavioral issues such as anger, anxiety, lack of ability to focus, and digestive disturbance, are common in children with autism. Heavy metals absorption can be a major contributor to these issues and they can prevent anyone, including your child, from getting well.

Heavy metals such as mercury, lead, aluminum and cadmium are dangerous toxins that can be absorbed by your body. They destroy the neurological system, cause autoimmune illnesses, and are carcinogenic.

How To Safely Detoxify Heavy Metals

Additionally, one mineral in particular, clinoptilolite, a zeolite, has unique properties known for detoxifying toxins and heavy metals including mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum. Zeolite is a natural chelating mineral. This means that it binds to toxins like a magnet, pulling them from your system, and helping your body excrete them safely.

But you need to be careful! Not all zeolites are effective at detoxification. In fact, most are completely ineffective.

When mined, zeolite has already been in the ground awhile, soaking up lead, arsenic, and other environmental toxins and heavy metals like a sponge. If ingested in its raw form, freshly mined zeolite would be too big and too dirty to work properly. In order to remove toxins from inside of the cells it must be small enough to do so. 

This is why I recommend only one specific liquid zeolite. The Clinoptilolite, Pure Body Extra Strength, has gone through a proprietary process to cleanse it of impurities and reduce the particle to a nano-size that is small enough to get into cells. You can read the studies here.

Normally, this remarkable detoxifier sells for $79.95, but my readers can get their first bottle right now for just $5. They’ll even ship it for free.

The Importance of The B Vitamins In Autism

The B vitamins, which are water-soluble, are crucial for a variety of reasons. Nerves cannot function normally without them. B vitamin deficiency along with heavy metal toxicity is among the leading causes of irritability, anger, and violent episodes. It is also commonly a problem among those with anxiety and seizures.

The B vitamins protect the brain from excitotoxicity, and a deficiency in B vitamins causes low taurine levels, reducing the body’s ability to detoxify. B vitamins are essential or crucial to survival, but our bodies cannot make them, so they must be provided by dietary means. The B vitamins also increase cellular energy.

VITAMIN B 1 (Thiamine)

Thiamine is another name for vitamin B1. Thiamine is involved in energy production, normal nerve functioning, and metabolism of carbohydrates and fats.

VITAMIN B 2 (Riboflavin)

Riboflavin is another name for vitamin B2. Riboflavin 5- phosphate is the active form of vitamin B2. Riboflavin is important in normal nerve functioning, building ATP (commonly low with mitochondria dysfunction), increases energy metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and assists in the production of glutathione. It is important for the health of the eyes, mucus membranes, skin, and fetal growth and development. Riboflavin is involved in converting vitamin B6 and folic acid into their active forms. It is naturally found in eggs, meat, and broccoli.

VITAMIN B3 (Niacinamide).....

VITAMIN B5 (Pantothenic acid).....

VITAMIN B6 (Pyridoxine)....

FOLIC ACID OR FOLATE....

VITAMIN METHYL B12....

Natural Solutions For Helibactor Pylori Gut Bacteria

Helibactor pylori, or H. Pylori, are bacteria that are found in the stomach and duodenum (upper GI). We all carry these microbes in our GI tract. These otherwise harmless microbes become problematic when our gut flora becomes imbalanced and the cells of the stomach are damaged. Candida overgrowth is a direct cause of H. pylori problems.

Liver congestion is another culprit. When bile and toxins are frequently pushed back into the stomach, the cells become injured and weak and are then more susceptible to damage from pathogenic microbes such as H. pylori, which in this case can even cause ulcers.

H. pylori is also spread through saliva. Remember this when sharing food or kissing your child on the lips, especially if his gut is weak and he has Candida. By the age of six months, many babies already carry H. pylori.

H. pylori are strong, acid-resistant bacteria. Its resistance is so strong that it can survive stomach acid. This makes the stomach produce more acid, which damages the stomach lining. Their corkscrew shape also bores holes in the stomach lining. These factors cause non-stress induced ulcers.

Symptoms are often the same as those who experience stomach ulcers. The most common symptom is stomach pain, but other symptoms may include chronic migraine headaches, fatigue, lack of nutritional absorption, nausea, vomiting, weight gain due to the rise in cortisol, depression, anxiety, bad breath, sinus problems, joint pain, headaches, and lack of mental clarity. As you can see, these symptoms are many of the same that come from Candida albicans. .......

What You Can Do To Reduce Acid Reflux or GERD

In this podcast episode #99, We discuss acid reflux, (GER), and Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where acid from the stomach comes up into the esophagus. Either way, the acid causes a burning sensation in the chest and throat and can cause damage to the mucosal lining if not worked with properly.

WHAT CAUSES ACIDITY

The most common cause of an acidic body is poor diet. Poor diet leads to poor digestion, which only makes the system even more acidic. Emotional stress also plays a role. Another common instigator of acid reflux is Candida albicans. The overgrowth of Candida or yeast in the gut will release toxins. This toxic waste effects digestion and the ability of the gut to produce hydrochloric acid. Disease, Candida, and tumors all thrive in an acidic environment. The only time we are vulnerable to germs is when our body is acidic. An acidic body also overloads the immune system and can cause problems ranging from headaches and allergies to adrenal and liver trouble.

Supplementation To Assist GERD

Assisting digestion with enzymes and supplementing with hydrochloric acid (HCL), especially with protein based meals, is often helpful to reduce GERD. Take them just prior to eating. For intermittent relief of burning symptoms, chewing on one Dr. Ohhira’s probiotic can help. By opening up the softgel the probiotic is able to work to balance the acidity in the upper GI tract. Supporting the liver and gallbladder is crucial too.

Natural Allergy Elimination For Food, Environmental Toxins And Infections with Di Cicco-Sandre

Many steps but you must first elim the most harmful and inflammatory ones from the diet. Please get my free download of the top 7 foods to avoid and begin removing them slowly from your child’s diet.

Show #98

Working remotely,  

It’s important to work with the root causes then once the toxins and inflammation are out of the way some of the acquired allergies can be eliminated. The allergies may be to much more than food. They can be to various bacteria or infections int he body or to environmental exposure to agents often not previously considered. 

Trapped Emotions that Prevent Optimum Recovery from Autism

Underlying emotional components can be at the root cause for many individuals and they must be cleared so the path to health is open. Please learn more about Clearing Trapped Emotions with the Emotion Code from my interview with Dr. Bradley Nelson on this work.

And the results 

Gut healing-allergy elim after

Yes, there is much involved in gut healing and if we don’t heal up the lining of the gut that is allowing undigested foods into the bloodstream so the immune system reacts to them then it keeps happening. The gut lining has many reasons why it may have holes like I mentioned, candida, glyphosate, mold biotoxins, Lyme. If we don’t get to the core of the issues then it keeps happening. Supplements are required along with the right diet for a long enough period of time, and getting the coinfections cleared. We also must support the organs of detoxification and their pathways during this process. It all takes time. Once all of this is done, or greatly reduced, the allergy elimination can work on eliminating the allergies that were acquired during the time when the gut was ill. Make sense? I hope this helps.

Hi! Some people aren’t interested in energy healing because they don’t understand it. That’s ok. The one thing is that what I do actually heals the gut. So you don’t need to heal the gut before you do the NAET because that’s exactly what I do. Part of why there is inflammation in the gut is because kids on the spectrum have so many food intolerances that everything they eat is causing them inflammation.

Constipation and What You Can Do About It

The health of the colon, or the large intestine, is critical to overall health. Daily bowel movements must release toxic material or it can be reabsorbed into the walls of the large intestine. Constipation allows for toxic re-absorption due to the extended amount of time the waste stays in the bowels. Proper amounts of water are needed to allow for the removal of waste including pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics in animal feed, and carcinogenic agents in the air we breathe. Dehydration and lack of proper fiber can cause constipation.

The bowels effect behavior through toxic reabsorption, but they are also very sensitive to the neurotransmitters in the digestive tract. These brain signaling chemicals include adrenaline, norepinephrine, and serotonin.

Fiber is essential when feces are moving well to keep digestion on track, but contrary to popular belief, if the bowel is constipated and lodged with waste, taking fiber often makes it worse. Fiber acts to further bind what is not moving. If you are constipated, aloe leaf is an excellent choice for getting things moving. More options are listed below. Be sure to avoid binding foods such as gluten, cheese and red meat.

The large intestine also absorbs minerals necessary for our health. An improperly working colon causes nutrient deficiencies. Enemas are helpful to release fecal matter from the lower portion of the large intestine. Coffee enemas will stimulate the nerves in the liver and assist its detoxification processes. Colonic irrigation or colonics are an essential part of health. They gently remove old debris from the entire colon and its walls by cleansing it with distilled or purified water.

Colonics can be done as early as age six, although many children may not agree to this. If they do, be sure to see an Advanced Certified Colon Hydrotherapist. To find and I-ACT certified professional go to, www.i-act.org, or call (210) 366-2888.

The acronym H.O.P.E. is sometimes used to help remember what to do to assist the health of the colon. H.O.P.E stands for:

• High fiber
• Omega-3 oils
• Probiotics
• Enzymes

What You Need To Know When Extreme Symptoms Arise In A Child With Autism

When you’re detoxifying, and your child suddenly goes into extreme anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorders, fearfulness, clinginess, panic attacks, skin rashes that itch severely or even burn or blister in sunlight then this post will give you the common reasons why and some things you can do about it. They can also be why you might be getting derailed in the autism recovery process.

The very first stage in autism recovery begins with gut healing. The first step in stage one begins with diet changes. You must remove the bad foods that contribute to inflammation, and injured gut lining, and feed the pathogenic bacteria overgrowth in your child’s gut such as candida. When you do this the bad bacteria will begin to die off and detoxification begins. You must support this process with binders to help sop up the toxins. You can get your free guide to the top 7 foods to eliminate and learn more about why they are so harmful to eat. 

What most parents don’t know when detoxifying their child with autism

Troubleshooting during detoxification is critical. This is something that took me years to find when I was on my son’s recovery journey. Had I known about it I would have saved myself a lot of time, financial expense, and reduced the stress and even panic that both my son and I lived in for so long. Not knowing what to do is the worst. You know, that helpless feeling of knowing something needs to be done but you don’t know what that something is. The doctor says they can see you in a week or a month but you need answers now. This can be extremely stressful. 

PANS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Syndrome)

First and most commonly it is a sign of what is referred to as PANS. This acronym stands for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Syndrome. You can read the full details on it and listen to my interview with specialist, Dr. Madeleine Cunningham here, but in a nutshell, the symptoms are caused by the immune system attacking the brain. As you can imagine, the symptoms are severe. 

Some symptoms of Kryptopyrroles Porphyrins (KPU)

• Rapid triggered extreme anxiety from the removal of sugars and carbs
• heightened skin sensitivity, especially to sunlight
• cannot tolerate fasting or intermittent fasting
• panic attacks
• bowel issues of either constipation or diarrhea
• hallucinations
• chronic pain
• cannot tolerate low carbohydrate or low sugar diet/candida diet (until heem pathways are balanced)
• very low zinc levels. A common copper to zinc ratio imbalance.
• sleep disruption
• abdominal pain
• back pain
