Autism Causes

Many people believe that autism is the consequence of an infection acquired in the womb. Many metabolic, anatomical and immunologic markers suggest a viral infection. Dr. Klinghardt reported that 72% of the children he sees with neuro-developmental disorders test positively (Western Blot) for Lyme Borreliosis (after antimicrobial provocation). 84% of their mothers test positively when provoked with antimicrobials prior to blood draw. Six out of 6 of his autistic children tested positively for the Borna virus (This virus is transmitted from horses, dogs and cats and causes autism-like neurological problems in horses and mental illness in adult humans. Children have not been studied). Microbes create biotoxins with effects similar to mercury, lead and carbon based chemicals.

The synergistic effect between toxins has only been poorly studied, said Dr. Klinghardt. An LD 1 of lead (one out of hundred rats dies) and LD1 of mercury given at the same time to a rat has an LD100 effect i.e. they all die. There is no computer model that can handle the synergistic effect of hundreds if not thousands of environmental toxins in our children

Autism is a new man made condition –and therefore avoidable in the future.  Occurrence  and severity of autism is directly related to toxin exposure in a child with inadequate genes (those that code for detoxification enzymes, methylation, etc.  Autism is not multifactorial: CNS-mercury plays the key single role in causing autism Most biochemical, developmental, medical and behavioral findings in autism are secondary to mercury toxicity

Natural Health Innovations, Inc. uses Dr. Klinghardt's nutritional protocols along with other modalities in order to assist the body to promote it's own healing.  We use Autonomic Response Testing to check each step in the protocol to determine those deficiencies/nutraceutical agents/frequencies that are proper recommendations for each child.
