Autism / Autism Spectrum Support Group
Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.

Health Alert: Mercury Poisoning
We have been talking a lot about lead dangers lately, but some say the concerns shouldn't stop there.
WBTV's Barbara Pinson is on your side with this health alert tonight.
-------
Lead is dangerous, but mercury poisoning is worse.
Some doctors say they're almost always found together.
Yesterday I met a young man who suffers from both.
His parents say he went from saying his ABC's to not speaking at all because of mercury, which they feel he got not from toys, but from his childhood vaccinations.

Very interesting report. I wonder if every autistic child was tested for lead and mercury, what the ratio would be of those that have the poison in their body to those that don't.

From what I understand, once a body is burdened by any toxin, it can no longer properly detox other exposures, so theoretically, if a child is exposed to high levels of mercury, then, when it is exposed to lead (or aluminum, or antimony) or any other of the many toxins that are in our environment, then they will not be able to detox those either and will then store them in their bodies....

I got my sons blood checked for lead it was a 3.They say if its 10 then something needs to be done.Now I learned anywhere from 0 can create neurological problems.My son had a hair analysis done a year ago 95% toxins.Mercury didnt show in his hair analysis because he cant release it.Im in the process of removing toxins.I was scared of DMSA, so I chose to wait.I think now there are better ways than DMSA.The problem is the medical doctors will say normal readings but thats not really the case.Im just learning.Autism turns us all into fighters and we cant give up.Actually we are playing doctors and its not fair!Great video I wish other people dont disregard the fact that mercury is toxic and given to babies. No matter how they look at it -its harmful and they still defend vaccs.Probably to save the US from being attacked from third world countries.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
