FW: Hope for Autism and ADD?

[Guest guest]

From Pamela Valenti:

Here we go again.

Another researcher working in a vacuum.

Neuro-immune dysfunction can be triggered by toxic exposure... by

poisons...such as insecticides...solvents...petrochemical based products

and heavy metals.

www.google.com

....type in 'immune dysfunction toxic exposure'.

Strangely, there's no mention of this vital factor in the article below.

Pesticide poisoning ...research in... linked to immune system

malfunction...with concomitant fungal overgrowth on the bodies of

frogs.... not to mention bizarre deformities...excluded from Dr

Goldberg's list of risk factors.

A mis-print...an accidental omission perhaps?

Mr Goldberg gave an address on his research in Sydney three or

so years ago...his visit funded by a pharmaceutical company.

Is it possible Dr Goldberg is unaware of that other major insult to the

immature immune system... vaccination?

Is he not aware of the class action pending in the USA? Of the links

between thimersal in the form of mercury... a component of routine

vaccinations?

Could parents of hundreds of children with vaccination triggered autism

be more informed than Dr Goldberg on this issue?

If mercury, formaldehyde and aluminium, not to mention phenoxyethanol

(anti-freeze), human aborted human tissue, chick embryo and egg, washed

sheep red blood cells, pig pancreatic hydrolysate of casein, monkey

kidney cells and so on...ingredients of most routine vaccinations are

not immuno-suppressant... what indeed would be?

Something wrong with this picture?

www.google.com

...type in 1997 Physicians Desk Reference vaccine ingredients.

Dr Goldberg writes of success in his treatment protocol.

Drugs mask symptoms..rarely 'cure'.

What long-term studies are en train?

Dr Goldberg....we'd like to introduce you to Dr Wakefield

et al...

Neuro-Immune Diagnosis and Treatment Gives Hope To

Children With Autism, Attention Deficit Disorder and Other

Diseases

Children Once Thought of as Having " Untreatable "

Developmental or Behavioral Disorders In Reality Have a

Medical Disease; New Protocol Has Already Helped Many

Patients

TARZANA, Calif. (July 8, 2002) - Doctors and researchers on

the cutting edge of medical research are now bringing hope to

many of the 500,000 children in the United States diagnosed

with autism and many of the more than 2.5 million with attention

deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder

(ADHD) or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). By treating these

and other diseases as neuro-immune dysfunction syndromes

() and looking upon them as medical rather than

developmental disorders, Goldberg, M.D., F.A.A.P, and

his colleagues at the Neuro-Immune Dysfunction Syndromes

Research Institute (-RI) have seen dramatic improvement

and normalization in children previously deemed medically

untreatable. During more than 20 years of evaluation and

research, Dr. Goldberg has reduced or eliminated symptoms in

numerous children throughout the United States and helped

return cognitive function to normal and near normal states in

many.

The Epidemic

Autism is far more prevalent today than it was in the early 1980s

when one in 10,000 children were afflicted with the disorder.

Today, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates that one

in 250 children are diagnosed as autistic. Treating these

children and others with similar disorders can cost more than

$60,000 per child, per year, according to parents whose children

have the disorder. The number of children with ADD and ADHD

disorder also has increased dramatically in the past two

decades, with estimates now topping two million, according to

the NIH.

" Autism has migrated from a rare disorder to one that is now 10

to 20 times more likely to be diagnosed. It's scientifically

impossible for an epidemic to be caused by developmental,

genetic or " brain damaged " conditions, " said Dr. Goldberg.

" Without a doubt, this is a disease process masquerading, or

being misinterpreted, as a " developmental " disorder. We need

to stop assuming that the symptoms are a result of birth or

genetic defects or psychological problems and start looking at

the immune connection. "

Dr. Goldberg says that, not only are these disease states

treatable, but also over time, children's symptoms are reduced

and they recover significant cognitive function. " Treating these

children not only increases their quality of life, but decreases the

current and future sociological and financial costs to our schools

and communities, " Goldberg said.

How it Works

According to Dr. Goldberg, patients are genetically

predisposed to having a dysregulated immune system. The

immune system malfunction can be triggered by a virus,

intrauterine, prenatal or neonatal stress, combination of other

stresses, illnesses or trauma and accounts for the cognitive

processing and other deficits seen in many of these children.

However, while there is likely to be a genetic pre-disposition in

many of these children, this is not a genetic disorder as thought

of in the past. Recent research supports the likelihood of an

autoimmune connection in many of these families.

Diagnosis for is simple: an immune panel run through

blood testing and a NeuroSPECT scan which measures blood

flow to the brain. In many instances, testing reveals high titers for

a number of herpes-like viruses, fungal or Candida overgrowth

and multiple food sensitivities or allergies, which are usually

secondary to a very activated immune system. A child's blood

work frequently shows lowered counts of natural killer (NK) cells,

an imbalance in certain immune cell ratios, as well as low ferritin

and elevated lymphocyte counts, with no apparent physical

illness.

NeuroSPECT scans of children with show reduced blood

flow to portions of the brain, including areas of the temporal

lobes, which affect social skills, auditory processing and

language. Other " autistic " symptoms correspond to areas of

dysfunction seen in the frontal lobes and the cerebellar area.

Research & Treatment

By regulating and cooling down the immune system and the

targeted use of FDA approved drugs, Dr. Goldberg and other

specialists working with these children have seen dramatic

improvements. Many children have returned to fully normal

functioning, often near or at the top of their classes

academically.

Extensive clinical work over the past five years supports the

-RI hypothesis that many developmental disorders are

actually immune-mediated diseases affecting the central

nervous system.

" Research on other diseases such as Alzheimer's and multiple

sclerosis has proven that the immune system plays a very

powerful role in cognitive function, " said Galpin, M.D. a

clinical associate professor of medicine at the University of

Southern California and a renowned AIDS researcher. Drs.

Goldberg and Galpin, along with the Scientific Advisory

Board of leading medical researchers, professionals and

specialists from the field of immunology, infectious diseases,

nuclear medicine and pediatrics are calling for the trials of new

immune modulator drugs to be applied to adults and children

with these disorders in an accelerated, expedient manner.

" There is so much more that can be done to help these children, "

said Dr. Goldberg. " While the medications currently available

help reduce symptoms, the most promising research for the

future is in the area of immune modulator drugs. These drugs

should be extremely effective in regulating immune system

dysfunction when used on these children and adults with related

disorders. "

The Neuro-Immune Dysfunction Syndromes Research Institute

has embarked on a fundraising campaign to implement these

new therapies and make effective medical treatment available to

all afflicted children. For more information on the campaign or
