Re: Autism & Vit. D

[Guest guest]

re Vit D

I entered the fray on Vit D and autism in an unusual way, as i was searching the

effects of

vaccine aluminum on metabolism. As a good friend of mine, a retired pediatrician

was

defending false shaken baby cases, he asked me to review some xrays and in short

order, i

realized that the textbooks and peer reviewed science on what constitutes

" battered child

fractures " was nothing more than nutritional deficiencies, Vit K, C and D.

So here is where it got real interesting. It appears that a large number of kids

with bruises,

bleeds in the head, SIDS, fractures are a combination of vaccine reactions setup

by horrible

nutrition policies by our old friends at the AAP, FDA, etc etc

The prevalence of Vit D deficiency in the US is epidemic, a black mom, who

breast feeds

will have an infant with Vit D def, almost a guarantee.....sun is the major

factor, mom and

baby.

of course the AAP wasn't happy enough endorsing mercury, they had to restrict

sunshine

in the first 6 months and call for sunblock after that. Sunscreen reduces Vit D

skin

conversion by 97%

Even in white moms who breastfed, their kids have a very high prevalence of D

deficiency,

in the neighborhood of 4-20%, depending on the study.

There is ample evidence that what mom takes while pregnant and what baby takes

in

multivitamin is FAR TOO LITTLE. Mom may need as much as 6,000 D3 and baby 2,400

D3

daily. The AAP endorces 400 IU daily, just doubled the recommendation after

years of

criticism, still not nearly enough, especially for those at risk.

Aluminum is a notorious inhibitor of Vit D and K metabolism on many

fronts.....the signs

and symptoms of Vit D deficiency and aluminum toxicity are in fact very similar.

Early

infancy hypovitaminosis D presents as hypocalcemia, spasms, choking, seizures,

failure to

thrive, gut distenstion/dysmotility, myoclonus, etc. This of course includes

SIDS. So I have

no doubt that the doses in vaccines is contributory. Doses of aluminum hydroxide

at 60

mcg/kg is known to be bone and brain toxic. Via vaccines, kids get 75 and 250

mcg/kg at

birth and at 2 months from the vaccine schedule!

One Boston study looked at 380 health newborns and found D deficiency in 40%. Of

those

kids that tested positive, xrays showed 30% had demineralized bone and 7.5% had

overt

rickets! This is appalling and another proud moment for our pediatric

community.

I am not convinced that Vit D is an independent risk factor for autism, but

rather a

biomarker for aluminum effect.

Regardless, I would suggest sunshine in the summer and Vit D3 year around. Cod

liver oil

has some D, so balance with what you are giving your kids from all sources.

Sadly, only

about 30% of dairy has any Vit D in it at all, the fortification has been

apparently pulled

back, unbeknownst to many.
