Autism - What Causes Autism and How Can You Prevent It

Autism is a neurodevelopment disorder that causes delays in social interaction, language as used in social communication, and/or imaginative play, that originates prior to 3 years of age, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

What causes Autism? This question is still answered with open-ended possibilities. Autism in laymen terms is an otherwise healthy person that cannot either speak in a given language format, interact with others in a social setting, or becomes emotionally triggered by very normal functions of others around them.

Autism studies have found a distinctive link with people diagnosed with autism and their unusually high heavy metal content in their blood. Mercury and lead seem to read high in their blood count. The body's ability to defuse or expunge certain metals causes a build up or high concentration of these metals and the link suggests that this build up of heavy metals seems to block certain social solving skills in the brain.

Retention of these heavy metals in the body creates a severe imbalance in the ratio of active to inactive glutathione, the body's most important tool for detoxifying and excreting metals. Glutathione works as an antioxidant, which regulates the potentially destructive process of oxidative stress caused both by normal metabolism and environmental contaminants. Autistic children showed a significant impairment in every one of five measurements of the body's ability to maintain a healthy glutathione defense.

Autism has increased 10-fold from 6 in 10,000 in the 1980s, to about 60 in 10,000 today. Boys are higher candidates than girls of having autism. Since the discovery link of heavy metals in autistic people, there are some studies that suggest that if you can reduce or aid in expunging metal content from the body through the skin's pores using a special cream, testing has shown to produce some very significant, almost immediate results.

So how does these heavy metals get into the body? One very elusive method that we seldom hear about is through vaccines. The preservatives that were placed in the vaccines were found to have adverse affects that could account for some of this metal build up. As of 2002 these preservatives have been removed.

Our food supply is also a big contributor of metals. Fish and shellfish can contain high levels of mercury. Women would are of child bearing age are warned to avoid these foods if they are anticipating pregnancy. Green leafy plants can retain levels of lead from the soil. So, basically you can come in contact with several ways of ingesting these offensive metals.

The intake is not as much the problem, as the releasing of these essential minerals. If a person cannot release these minerals, then the build-up appears to cause or at least contribute to the symptoms of autism. Autism is not something to be ashamed of, understand that your child is relying on you to get the help they need asap, for a more responsive life.

Bottom line is to have a child tested as soon as you notice certain behavioral problems that just aren't normal. For instance,

- autistic children will avoid eye to eye contact

- they don't interact with other children well, they like playing alone

- they don't form words, or mimic your coaching words

- they can be sensitive to normal sounds, like that of a vacuum cleaner

- they tend to want to line up there toys in straight lines and become upset if they are rearranged

- they can indicate they are hungry, yet when food is given, they reject it

- they may want an item but not accept it from you by hand, they prefer to pick it up themselves when they decide the time is right

While some of these symptoms, done separately, may not suggest autism, it's the collection of a larger group of items listed that tend to send signals that testing would be advised. When asking your doctor if they think your child is okay or normal, please alert the doctor to have your child tested for high levels of heavy metals and explain some of the child's odd mannerisms. Doctors don't have the same perceptions as you simply from a doctor's visit. Being more verbal with your concerns for your child as soon as you notice their different behaviors could greatly improve by treatments as early as possible.

Doctors in general do not consider testing for autism before the age of 3 years, but if you have seen some of the behaviors listed above, remember, you can suggest to the doctor to do some testing for autism earlier than your child's 3rd birthday.

President Bush recently signed the Combating Autism Act of 2006 bill on December 19, 2006. This bill, widely applauded by autism activists groups, authorizes nearly $1 billion over the next five years to combat autism through research, screening, early detection and early intervention. The new legislation will increase federal spending on autism by at least fifty percent. Please support their efforts whenever and wherever possible.

The Amazing Miracle Food That Really Works

Anti-aging, weight management, natural immunity, and detoxification of pollutants in our bodies are all topics of concern for us in the 21st century. Can it be that one substance provides a solution to all of these issues? According to news reports from Cornell University, the New England Journal of Medicine and the U.S. Governments center for Disease Control, to name a few, it seems there is. This substance is colostrums. Colostrum is a thick yellow fluid, rich in protein, growth and immune factors, produced by human mothers for approximately 72 hours after giving birth. Bovine colostrum, colostrum from cows is 100 times richer in immune factors than human colostrum. Even better, it is not species specific which means it can work in humans and lower mammals. The powerful immune and growth factors contained in colostrum brings the body to a natural state of health and well being. The following are some of the benefits of colostrum.

Anti-Aging

After puberty, the amount of immune and growth factors in our bodies begins to decline. As we age, we become more vulnerable to disease. We have problems with loss of muscle tone and weight gain and our skin becomes elastic. An aging person exhibits lower levels of growth hormone than a younger one. By the age of eighty we produce, basically, no growth hormone. Colostrum stimulates cellular and tissue growth, repairs and helps to reverse the damage done by disease and the natural aging process and aids in the renewal of skin and bones. This makes colostrum an invaluable tool in the fight against premature aging.

Weight Management

Fad diets, fasts, yo yo dieting and rapid weight loss result in the loss of lean muscle instead of fat. Colostrum contains IGF-1, the most powerful growth hormone in our bodies. The growth factors in bovine colostrum and Leptin assist the body in an increase of metabolism, a greater ease in building lean muscle and a reduction of fat. It also affects the neurotransmitters in our bodies which improves mental acuity. If you tend to eat when stressed or depressed, colostrum also aids in this regard.

Natural Immunity

Colostrum contains proteins that function as antibodies. These are the most powerful immune factors found in colostrum. A number of recent clinical studies have shown colostrum to contain antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. Although colostrum, as a dietary supplement, is relatively new to the United States, physicians in India have used colostrum as a treatment for thousands of years.

Detoxification of Pollutants

In an optimal environment, where we get enough sleep, eat well, exercise regularly and put no toxins in our bodies the body is a very efficient mechanism. When these conditions are not met toxins build up in our bodies. Taking colostrum can result in a significant amount of cellular energy. This energy is used to expel the waste stored outside the cells. This waste leaves the body from whatever channel that is available. Sometimes you can experience cold or flu like symptoms when first taking colostrum, depending on the amount of toxic buildup. Make sure to get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water and eat simply while detoxifying.

Colostrum is a food. With the exception of allergic reactions in persons known to be allergic to cows milk, it does not have any side effects at any level of consumption. It has no known drug interactions. In addition to adult consumption, it can safely be consumed by children and pets. However, according to tests conducted at Cornell University, true colostrum is colostrum from the first milking after the birth of the calf and collected within six hours of its birth. As always, use due diligence in deciding which products to buy.

British Prime Minister Gambling's Latest Antichrist? Oh Please

As a journalist with respected website Poker Pages and co-presenter of a show on Holdem Radio, Amy Calistri is clearly no mug but her recent assessment of Gordon Brown's U-turn on supercasinos suggests that she knows Vegas rather better than she does the shires of Britain.

One of Prime Minister Brown's first acts upon succeeding Tony Blair last month was to effectively consign to the scrapheap the Labour government's proposals for a wave of British supercasinos. In Ms Calistri's eyes, this places the Scotsman firmly alongside US Senator Bill Frist in the gambling hall of shame. Frist it was who drove the controversial Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act into existence in 2006, effectively imposing a ban upon on-line poker.

"The UK has its own gambling Dark Ages' poster boy..." Calistri rages in a Poker News article on July 24th. "The UK's gaming reform experiment was seven years in the making and was poised to be an interesting counterpoint to current US policy. But what took seven years to plan took one man only four months to unravel. And in that context, the UK's gaming policy experience is starting to mirror our own; the exercise of one man's will."
At least Calistri sets out her own agenda early in the report, stating that, pre-Brown, "The global envy of US gambling minded citizens and free market philosophers was heightened by the UK's apparent rational response to online gaming; seeking to legislate and regulate the terrain."

Okay, so if you're a laissez-faire capitalist, Brown's intervention is heavy-handed and regrettable. People far more qualified than me in economics, however, could debate both sides of the free market hot potato all night.

Where Calistri really wanders from reality, however, is in lumping Brown together with Frist as the villains of the piece and painting a picture of the British Premier as a dinosaur out of step with the Society around him.

Amy, you need to visit Britain for a while. If I tell you that defending my country's current Government comes as easily to me as advocating the abolition of Christmas, you'll get an idea of how wide of the mark I think you have strayed.

Far from Gordon Brown isolating himself with his decision to sideline the supercasinos, I doubt that there was any better way he could have ingratiated himself with his electorate. The only people passionate about the casino boom in the UK were those who stood to pocket most of the profits. Even as online gambling booms this side of the Atlantic, the impetus for supercasinos here has been generated solely by Labour politicians, anxious to ingratiate their party with anyone with money to spend, regardless of how it may be generated.

We already have modest but successful casinos in the UK, you see, along with legal sportsbooks ('bookmakers', we prefer to call them in Britain) and legal online gaming. So nicely catered for are we, indeed, that the only thing that comes close to irking your typical Brit gambler right now is the legal minefield he enters by playing poker in his local bar. Even there, compromise is being reached and progress made.

So with their gambling urges already taken care of, there has never been any great clamour for supercasinos among Britons. On the contrary, in fact. At heart, most people this side of the Pond, I suspect, feel more comfortable with gambling as a sideline activity in our cities than as one of the cornerstones of that buzz phrase 'urban regeneration'.

Forgive us if we are cynical towards the notion of towns being revitalised by gambling. It's just that we read about protest marches in Macau, whose own casino boom has meant hardship for the poorer sections of the population, who find rents and property prices spiralling beyond their means. Or isn't 'regeneration' supposed to apply to them?

Then we read the censure of Louisiana's civic leaders in the leader column of a local newspaper, after they too sought the 'regeneration' dollar:

"Louisiana officials frittered away the 1990s by focusing on expansion of various forms of gambling as a cure for Louisianas economic woes. Alas, gambling has not delivered the promised pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and Louisiana continues to lag much of the country in economic development.

"Louisiana would be much better off today if we had spent the past decade paying attention to more fundamental reforms to grow business, such as investing in education, reforming our tax laws, streamlining state government and dramatically tightening our ethics code."

We read, we ponder and we think "no thanks". In our Old Country gamblers' hearts, we know that while Las Vegas might call us like Mecca, it is not dubbed 'Sin City' for nothing - "the flashiest, blackest hole in the universe," poker blogger Pauly calls it. When its promoters tell us that there is only one Vegas, we utter a subconscious 'Amen'.

All Gordon Brown has done is catch this mood and give it voice; something of which his wretched predecessor (yes, America: you've got him totally wrong, too) was singularly incapable.

He has not piggy-backed ill-conceived legislation on the shoulders of port security measures he knew were guaranteed safe passage. He has not ushered in his whims under the nose of a sleeping nation in the dead of night. He would not have us believe that while some forms of online gambling are the work of Satan, others - which just happen to be accompanied by lobbying muscle or the whiff of vested interests - are as pure as the driven snow.

While he mightn't be Amy Calistri's type of guy, he is no more deserving of comparison to Bill Frist than he is to Uncle Fester.
