METAL TOXIC POISONING
The symptoms of toxic heavy metal poisoning and the symptoms of autism, PDD,
Aspergers, & ADD/ ADHD are very similar. Toxic metals could be the cause of those
symptoms. Memory loss, increased allergic reactions, high blood pressure,
depression, mood swings, irritability, poor concentration, aggressive behavior,
sleep disabilities, fatigue, speech disorders, high blood pressure, cholesterol,
triglycerides, vascular occlusion, neuropathy, autoimmune diseases, and chronic
fatigue are just some of the many conditions resulting from exposure to
toxins.
Heavy metals originate
within the Earth. However, we have opened Pandora’s Box by spreading these
toxic metals throughout our environment. As levels rise in our air, water, and
topsoil, they also rise within our bodies, contributing to chronic diseases,
learning disorders, cancer, dementia, and premature aging.
Heavy metals poison us by disrupting our cellular enzymes, which run on nutritional minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and selenium. Toxic metals kick out the nutrients and bind their receptor sites, causing diffuse symptoms by affecting nerves, hormones, digestion, and immune function. There seems to be a higher level of heavy metal toxicity in children in the Autistic spectrum. The evidence suggests that some children in the autistic spectrum build up more of these toxic metals because of an inability to excrete them. When they become lodged in the brain the brain does not function normally, causing autistic symptoms and learning disorders.
The relationship of the heavy metals and children with autistic symptoms is being researched from every angle thought of. One team of investigators reported damage to the intestinal mucosal layer , in the form of increased permeability, in over 40% of autistic children tested. This gastrointestinal dysfunction would allow greater amount of toxins to penetrate the gut barrier into systemic circulation, and thus increase the toxin burden in children unable to properly process this onslaught of toxin agents.

The heavy metals most often
implicated in human poisoning are lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium. Some
heavy metals, such as zinc, copper, chromium, iron, and manganese, are required
by the body in small amounts, but these same elements can be toxic in larger
quantities. Once in the body, they compete with and displace essential
minerals such as zinc, copper, magnesium, and calcium, and interfere with
organ system function. Toxic heavy metals may lead to a decline in the
mental, cognitive, and physical health of the individual.
The degree to which a
system, organ, tissue, or cell is affected by a heavy metal toxin depends on the
toxin itself and the individual's degree of exposure to the toxin. The
specific sources of exposure, where the metals tend to be deposited and the
adverse health effects of each metal are identified through the following link..
Today, heavy metals are
abundant in our drinking water, air and soil. They are present in virtually
every area of modern consumerism-from construction materials to cosmetics,
medicines to processed foods, fuel sources to agents of destruction, appliances
to personal care products. It is very difficult for anyone to avoid exposure to
any of the many harmful heavy metals that are so prevalent in our environment.
Our chelation program
may help to lessen the negative impact that these agents have on human health.
Oral chelation therapy is effective in treating heavy metal poisoning. Children
with lead poisoning should be careful to be in lead-free environments while
chelating.
One of the most important revelations after many years of research it was description of the thimerosal molecule and
the fact that thimerosal can settle in vaccine vials. It is far denser than
other molecules in the vaccines due to the heavy mercury atom. Thimerosal may
settle to the bottom of a 10-dose vial of vaccine so if the vial is not shaken
properly, or not at all, some unlucky children could have received up to 10
times the dose of thimerosal. That immunization may change your child's
performance for their entire life.***Inorganic mercury
contained in vaccines may be undetectable in urine, hair, or blood
testing.Very high copper can cause a psychotic break from reality, a type of schizophrenia.
