Studies on Toxins Found in Vaccinations and Solutions Regarding Exemption and Injury

California is the first of the 50 United States to pass a law for mandatory vaccinations. This law, SB 277, requires children to be vaccinated to enter public or private school. Many parents do not realize that they still have a choice, and informed decisions are crucial to the health of their child. There is much documented research on the heavy metals and other toxins in vaccines that cause neurological problems at any age (see studies below). Toxins, when injected, bypass the body’s detoxification pathways, and go directly into tissues and vital organs.

Written Exemptions

Many doctors will write an exemption for vaccinations. The HIPPA privacy policy does not require them to label the reason why. Call around to various doctors, (not necessarily pediatricians), until you find one who will do this for you. Your best bet is a medical doctor who practices holistically. You can find a list at, American Board of Holistic Integrative Medicine (www.abihm.org), or
Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (www.aihm.org).

An Alternative to Exemptions  

Parents are collaborating to home school together. If one mom needs to work on specific days, then the others can fill in. By working together working moms can still do this. It also gives a community of support and keeps your child in a social environment, rather than isolated at home.

How To Create A Positive Dental Experience For Your Child with Autism with Josalyn Sewell

In this post, and others linked to, you will learn some great ideas for parents on how to help guide dental appointments for your child with autism. This is all about how to make a dental appointment a positive experience for the parent and child.

 

Some tips and suggestions for things to do at the office like using a weighted blanket or the use of the dentists heavy lead apron that they use to cover you when you get an x-ray, but you don’t need to have to be getting an x-ray to use it. The weight is very calming for most kids on the autism spectrum. Noise cancelling headphones can also be helpful.

There are several toys, weighted blankets, head phones, and more in my podcast page where I interview sensory processing expert Lindsey Biel, on Sensory Processing Disorders to help you and your dentist to have a greater understanding about what is going on with your child and what they can do. These home-care tips can be used in the dentists office too, as well as helping the dental office to prep for the child’s visit.

Autism and Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is on the rise. One in every four children on the autism spectrum tests positive for Lyme disease. It is the fastest growing vector born infection with 300,000 new cases per year. This number is said to likely be an underestimate. It continues to be under diagnosed due to the center for Disease Control’s inadequate established bands or markers used for detection in blood tests.

Lyme disease is usually contracted through a tick bite. some of these ticks can be as small as a poppy seed and go unnoticed. Lyme can be passed in utero from a mother to her child, as well as in breast milk. Lyme can also be passed from mosquitoes and head lice. 

Symptoms of Lyme disease can mimic other disorders such as:

• Attention deficit disorder (ADD)

• Learning difficulties

• Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)

• Depression

• Alzheimer’s

• Schizophrenia

• Multiple sclerosis

• Chronic fatigue

• Fibromyalgia

• Heart conditions

• Bell’s Palsy (facial drooping)

TESTING FOR LYME

As mentioned above, detecting Lyme through the standard “blot” blood test is minimal, at best. It is common to get a false negative. This means the blood test tells you that you do not have it when you actually do. So what do you do?

Best practice is to wait until your child’s gut is healthy, toxins have been reduced greatly, and his immune system is strong before testing. The chosen test “said to be the number one bio-energetic screening in the world” is ASYRA. No blood test is needed and their accuracy is known to be superb from one test. You can learn more at, www.asyra.co.uk. One resource for ASYRA in the U.S. is in California at, Immune Matrix.

LYME TREATMENT

The bacteria that cause Lyme disease can keep changing form and re-infect. Each must be treated specifically. Multiple infections suppress the immune system, so multiple systems must be treated. Lyme decreases immunity so secondary fungal, bacterial, and viral infections appear. This happens even easier if heavy metals and toxins are in the system.

Do not use traditional methods of heavy metal detoxification such as DMSA or EDTA when Lyme is present. Mercury can inhibit Lyme. If a heavy metal detoxification process allows re-absorption of toxins back into the body during the excretion process, like these chelators do, then the mercury released into the system may activate the Lyme disease. Lyme has multiple co-infections. It is systemic, gets into the intestines, and makes you intolerant of carbohydrates and develop sensitivity to gluten, casein, and sugar.

Lyme infection does not leave easily and multiple systems are affected. Antibiotics alone have been disappointing in the treatment of Lyme disease. Autism and Lyme commonly exist in one individual. A broad based treatment which affects all co-infections and assists the body on multiple levels is necessary. Energetic frequencies, nutritional therapies, and the occasional need for anti-parasitic medicine and antibiotics all need to be reviewed, so that you can may make educated decisions for your child.
