The Autism Explosion – and What You Need to Know About It!

12th September 2009 by David Gore Graham B.Sc.

1 in 38 boys born today will have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and 1 in 63 of children of both sexes born today will have ASD. These are frightening statistics from two recently published studies on children in the US. This is a 159 fold increase since 1994. That is a whopping 15,900% increase in 15 years, most of it in the last few years! This is 3 times more than the recent prevailing belief that the rate was 1 in 150. 25 years ago it was 1 in 100,000. Everyone having a child, or who already has a child with ASD, needs to understand the causes of this terrifying epidemic and take the appropriate precautions or actions.

It appears that there are multiple culprits, and when combined, they create the conditions that cause the problem. They are all within your control both before and after birth. In fact Dr Klinghardt, a leading expert in ASD, says that he can predict which children will suffer from ASD by examining the environmental conditions of the pregnant mother and the early days of the new born. Currently, 10-20 times as much money is being spent on genetic research to find reasons for this epidemic, than is being spent on research into the effect of environmental conditions. There is a clear correlation between the increase of ASD with:

a) The increase in childhood Vaccinations;
b) The rise in popularity of cell phones and WiFi devices in the home,
c) The increase in the toxic load on pregnant mother and child.

Vaccinations both trigger the immune system of the newborn, causing damage, and also leave the child with a toxic dose of the heavy metal mercury that is used as a preservative.
Electro Magnetic Frequency (EMF) causes damage to cell membranes and decreases the intracellular communication by disrupting micro-tubular connections between the cells. EMF also increases the deposits of heavy metals into your cells, which in turn increases intracellular production of free radicals, also causing damage to cell itself. Toxins in your food and environment, together with modern diets, increase the toxins in the body, increasing inflammation.
There are two circumstances to be addressed-
· What to do to prevent your child getting autism in the first place.
· What to do if you have a child suffering from ASD.

In fact, the steps required for the Mother, to prevent her having a child with ASD, are the same as the steps needed to be taken for the child diagnosed with ASD.

Steps in the prevention of ASD:

1. Vaccines

• From the day you become pregnant do not have any vaccines (this includes flu vaccines). None! Use natural methods to deal with any condition.
• Once born, do not allow your child to have any vaccines, preferably at all. If you must have your child vaccinated, then wait until they are 1 year old. Do not, and I repeat, do not allow your child to have the Hep. B Vaccine, which is usually given right at birth. See page 116 of my book Wellbeing Matters for a discussion of this topic.

2. EMF Radiation

Reduce the amount of EMF radiation in your home and surroundings. EMF radiation comes from the following sources:

• Mobile and cell phones. Pregnant women should not use cell phones even for sending and receiving text messages.
• Cordless phones. These are similar to cell phones and should not be used.
• Computer WiFi. Use ethernet cables instead of WiFi. If you have a modem provided by your ESP make sure the WiFi is disabled. Also your neighbors WiFi does not respect the physical boundaries of your property.
• Electrical outlets. Make sure your bedroom is free from strong EMFs. It is recommended that you turn of the electricity at the circuit breaker before sleeping at night. You can shield your bed with fabrics that are Radio Frequency (RF) shielding, or if building a house put aluminum foil in the walls that will shield out unwanted EMF. Meters are available for a reasonable price so you can test your bedroom for EMF and it may be that moving your bed is sufficient.

3. Removing toxins.

• It is important that the mother create as toxin free an environment for the growing fetus. This means eating a diet that is low in non-fibrous carbohydrates (refined grains such as white bread and pasta, potatoes in all their forms, and all sugar and sugar substitutes. Increase intake of Omega-3, probiotics, etc. Take activated zeolite to remove heavy metals from yourself and the fetus. Read chapters 4 and 5 of my book Wellbeing Matters for more details on what to do.
• Make sure that there are as few toxins in your environment as possible. This includes drinking pure water, removing mold or toxins in your home, and using only natural cleaning materials. Please read Chapter 3 of my book Wellbeing Matters for more information on removing toxins from your environment.

4. Increase Vitamin D levels in your blood.

• The presence of Vitamin D receptors in brain tissue in early fetal development indicates that Vitamin D is very important to the developing brain. As I have written about elsewhere, most people have a profound lack of Vitamin D brought about by the modern fear of the sun (evidenced by the slathering on of sun screen at every opportunity). All pregnant women should have Vitamin D levels of 50-60 ng/ml. Ask your doctor to check this and get more sun if it is too low. If there is little sun where you live while you are pregnant then a Vitamin D3 supplement may be called for. This may be the most important of the 4 causes of ASD and one of the simplest to do something about. See the article below concerning Vitamin D.
  

Relief of Your Child’s ASD Symptoms:

1. All the steps above need to be applied to your young child’s environment. Yes, it is inconvenient but the health of your child can be significantly affected. The healthier the child and the stronger the child’s immune system the less likely they will suffer from ASD and the less the severity of the symptoms.
