Re: Mounting research is finding a VERY strong link to Autism.....

[Guest guest]

, my daughter has similar challenges to yours.  We are using and

seeing an Environmental Allergist and I am seeing great improvements in her

ability to function around such chemicals in a limited amount which is an

improvement from before.  Since begining treatment my daughter has made huge

gains.  Finding a doctor that treats chemical sensitivities is not easy and

finding a good one maybe even more difficult.  Please feel free to contact me if

you would like to talk.  I will send you my phone number of the list if you are

interested.  Sheri

Date: Thursday, September 24, 2009, 2:05 AM

 

I am a 27 year old male, and I've had the SPECT scans done

back in 2006.

I've had all sorts of severe troubles for years and years- and it has taken me a

long time to finally begin figuring out what is causing 'me' problems.

I've been seeing Dr. for over two years.

It has taken a long time to figure a lot of this out but after many different

courses of anti-biotics, pro-biotics, Valtrex, Acyclovir, Lamisil, Diflucan,

Nizoral, etc, etc... and sticking to a strict diet... It has taken me a long

time to realize that I can not tolerate chemicals, exhaust, synthetic odors,

fabric, cleaners, etc.

I couldn't tell any difference with the meds such as listed above- but sticking

to a diet that is without dairy, wheat/gluten, mostly organic, oats, fish,

etc...

And avoidance of the things that cause me triggers, I have been doing much

better.

Over the past many months I've come across more and more studies linking autism

with chemicals... which 'I' believe is a huge over-looked factor concerning the

illness.

I'll post some links below-

I want to point out that over the years I myself have never been diagnosed with

Autism, but looking back I have had many of the symptoms of the illness. I've

had trouble my entire life.

I am actually in the process of checking out , Arizona as a potential

place to live because the air quality is supposed to be very good and there are

supposed to be few allergens there as well.

I have to wash my clothes in a natural laundry soap that we make, I can't

tolerate anything but purely natural cleaning products, I can't tolerate diesel

exhaust, smog, pollution, even news papers, regular shampoo, conditioner,

chemical fertilizer, normal window cleaner, new carpet, and furniture... newly

remodled places, paint, etc, etc...

I have some suggested reading for anyone interested.. .

One is the book by Dr. Pall; Explaining " Unexplained illnesses. "

The other is Overcoming Autism: Dylan's story, By Cristin Fergus.

The studies linking chemicals to Autism are listed below:

I can share more information on what I've had to change and what I have to avoid

and maybe post a link for making your own laundry detergent, as well as places

to buy natural cleaners that work ok, and don't cost too awful much.

Hi Javan,

Can you tell me how you " feel " or react to these chemicals? You said

you " can't tolerate anything but purely natural cleaning products " ,

does this mean you react physically? I can't tolerate perfumes, my

stomach gets upset.

TIA,

Argie

In addition to many of the products uses/recommends, I have found an

all natural all purpose cleaner at Costco and also they have two types of

laundry detergents that we've been using.neither aggravates my allergies.

Subject: Mounting research is finding a VERY strong link to

Autism.....

OK- Let's see I'll try responding to all the questions and comments.

The products I use and the places I get them are:

If you know what 'Trader Joe's' is, and know where one is, they sell a green

'all purpose' spray natural cleaner that works fairly well and isn't very

expensive and I have no reaction to it at all.

They also sell shampoos and conditioners, as well as other bath products and

they seem to all work well for me.

The other place I go to is 'Lowes' hardware store believe it or not- in

their cleaning chemical section they have a few cleaners I can tolerate...

Made by 'greenology' called 'Organic bathroom cleaner' that is

antimicrobial. The bathroom cleaner and the all purpose cleaner they have

are the same chemicals, lol so either one is good.

Another at Lowes are a couple of the bathroom products made by 'Method' in a

light baby blue bottles for toilet and a sink cleaning product...

HOWEVER- although 'Method' claims to be a natural cleaning brand there are

several products they have that I can't tolerate- and there are doubts that

ALL their products are as all natural as they claim.

You can also use a scrub brush and mix baking soda, white vinegar, and

believe it or not 'Oxi-clean laundry cleaner'. I can totally tolerate

Oxi-clean powder you scoop because it is actually all natural... However not

all their products I can tolerate and are all natural, just the laundry

product with the scooper- their are also generic brands that have the same

ingredients but are less expensive.

For the automatic dish washing machine I use 'Seventh Generation' lemon

cleaner... For hand soap and for washing the dishes by hand I use the brand

'Earth Friendly Products'- which comes in pear, almond, grapefruit, etc.

I also have to use all natural lotions, I have found 'Nature's Gate' to be

pretty good and well priced. Some of these things you can find at a health

food store or find on www.Vitacost.com.

I want to mention too that these products can be used to clean the floor as

well. That is what I have to do.

For nice fragrances in the home or on clothes I have to use all natural

essential oils... I often use Cinnamon leaf because it has a nice smell, and

I don't really mind if I smell like a girl as long as it means I can

tolerate it well and not feel awful!

Bottom line- if it is synthetic I generally cannot tolerate it... even

things I wouldn't have previously suspected I've realized cause problems for

me. An example would be I have to put the shoes in another room I don't go

into because of the typical strong rubber odor/fumes, and newly replaced

fiberglass screens are a problem as well. Typical hairspray, mousse,

newspapers, cardboard, (although made from trees both use chemicals in

manufacturing them), etc.

Over time as the body begins to heal from them a person is less likely to

react to them- and symptoms improve but it can take time!

I will leave a link for making your own laundry detergent that I use...

Although I've had to make some modifications to it to make it work more

effectively.

1-However use 1 bar of IVORY soap, non-scented.

2-AND use 2 cups of Borax and Washing Soda instead of 1 1/2 since it makes

it more effective.

3-ALSO- when use it to wash your clothes add 1 scoop of Oxi-clean powder as

well... and if you want you can use 1 cup of white vinegar.

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/yt-Al4EK59ta9A/how_to_make_homemade_laundry_de

tergent/

The physical effects I experience when I am exposed to chemicals are

-fatigue,

-problems with my memory, concentration, focus, thinking...

-I ache in my spine and back, sometimes get headache,

-I get depressed, anxious, even rageful, angry and agitated, for no reason-

I just feel rage shoot up in my body within a short amount of time.

-I feel dizzy, light headed...

-my blood pressure is often low.

-I have been tested for having low Natural Killer cell function.

-I can make marks on my skin, such as my stomach, inner arms, etc., if I

just use a blunt object and push and drag across my skin without actually

scratching myself. A red mark appears and within about 10 seconds it starts

to sting... and the red mark might remain for 5 min., up to 30 min.

-My nostrils will also swell shut... I often can't breathe out of one or

both of my nostrils and they will be entirely clear of mucus... the

allergist says that is an allergic, inflammatory response.

I hope that helps.

Hi Kristy- thanks for the input.

I did a little research and was looking for the 'all purpose' cleaner you

found/use at COSTCO, and the only one I could find online was the 'SIMPLE GREEN'

all purpose cleaner- which I wanted to say a few things about, but first.

I've had the NeuroSPECT scan done at UCLA-

You can actually see pictures of 'my' brain and results on this web site where I

posted them.

http://www.ei-resource.org/myblog/SPECT-Scan-of-Multiple-Chemical-Sensitivity-MC\

S-Patient-Brain.html

I had the scan done back in 2006, and have been working on treatment, first with

Dr. Goldberg, then with Dr. ever since.

I just want to put out examples that I have had tests, brain scans, loads of

blood work and drug and nutrition treatment for a few yaers...

I don't know a whole lot about your difficulties and such- and I'd like to learn

more.

After getting my NeuroSPECT scan done I was told I have the same scans and

problems they find in Autistic patients.

After doing a lot of research and work with doctors I've come to find out that

my condition seems to 'mostly' be driven by diet and ESPECIALLY chemicals,

fumes, pollution, smog, etc.

When you come into contact with breathing in fumes of different kinds, perfume,

diesel exhaust, regular fabric softener, paint, glue, etc., etc., etc.- Do you

find yourself having any melt-downs or extreme crying spells, or totally

uncontrollable flashes of anger and rage?

I'm just trying to get an idea as to how severe the problems you deal with are.

I am not sure if you were talking about the 'SIMPLE GREEN' all purpose cleaner

or not... but I have tried using the 'SIMPLE GREEN' and I can honestly say it

makes my condition much worse... I cannot tolerate it whatsoever. I know it

claims to be natural and biodegradable, but I find that it effects me just as

much if not more than regular cleaner. I have total and utter meltdowns using

it... I find myself incredibly depressed, very OCD, unable to think clearly,

very agitated, and as extreme as it sounds, sometimes suicidal... it is THAT

painful on many levels.

There are strong links of chemicals and environmental pollution playing a part

in Autism as it turns out. Since I have the blood work similar to other

patients, the SPECT brain scans, many of the same problems, and react to the

same food- I am trying to provide somewhat of an adult perspective as to how

many of these autistic children likely feel- and MORE importantly, what will

likely work for them as well.

An adult guinea pig in a way... someone that can provide feedback as to how they

are feeling, what this 'Neuro-immune' disorder feels like and what works and

doesn't work for me.

Unfortunately there are a lot of products and things out there that 'claim' to

be all natural, and 'green,' but really are not, or are grossly exaggerated.

I would just love to help a lot of the mothers get the chemicals out of their

children's lives to help them improve. Unfortunately it is very difficult to

always know what is environmentally 'legit' and what isn't. Since many of the

children cannot entirely give proper feedback it can be very difficult to figure

out what is working and what is not. If there is something I can gain from

having to deal with this illness it is the knowledge I've gained to help others

not suffer like I've had to suffer.

In no sense of the imagination do I intend to come off offensive with your

Kristy- especially considering I don't now how severe your condition is, but

while a product might not cause a person to have a dermatological reaction, or

Histamine-1, anti-body allergic response on the outter portion of their body,

that however doesn't necessarily mean it does NOT also cause Neuro-inflammation

in the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system)- of a documented

Neuro-immune sick patient.

It is an easy mistake for many to make since many consider it to be one and the

same... The immune response has several layers and the immune response on the

skin, throat, and airways is vastly different than the one in the brain and

central nervous system. A 'typical' allergic reaction involves Mast cells

releasing histamine, while an immune response in the central nervous system

involves glial cells that release pro-inflammatory cytokines causing

inflammation and slight swelling and brain dysfunction as a result.

So in essence I am trying to put together a list of things I have found to be

Neuro-Immune NEUTRAL... and not adding to the problem.

I would love to learn more about your symptoms and trouble in detail Kristy.

Thanks so much!

Sheri,

Does do extracts for soy? Or foods for that matter? We are doing them

and they help ALOT. But I am still wondering I should still cut out soy

altogether. Also, are you doing histamine and serotonin? Your daughter is

doing so well, and we are still working out the " bugs " with mine...

Also, if you want some good shampoos and conditioners without essential oils and

safe for chemically sensitive people(really really hard to find!) we use

www.magickbotanicals.com. Awesome products!

Oh OK. That is great. Yeah I've had argued with family members over the Simple

Green- them telling me it shouldn't bother me because it is all natural. It

took me a long time to convince them it was making me VERY ill!

Thanks so much for your input Kristy.

Do you mind telling me what type of reactions you experience, and do you have a

child with Autism?

Hey Sheri-

I can't tell you how relieved I am knowing that I'm not the only one (not that I

want anyone else to suffer) but that It does seem as though we are onto

something that is commonly overlooked.

I no longer talk with Dr. Goldberg, but are these things brought to his

attention? It seems like this is a really large piece of the puzzle that is not

being addressed- which is at the peril of ourselves and the children.

I wish someone would bring this to Dr. Goldberg's attention if he is not aware

of it already. REMEMBER it is TWO pages- lol the first time I read it I didn't

realize there were more than one page.

Would someone mind explaining to me what the histamine and serotonin is supposed

to do- or how it works? I've never heard of this treatment and I'm interested

to learn more.

Also about the drops or doses to help get over allergies?

I've heard bits and pieces of information in the past but no one actually

explain to me what it all is and does.

Thanks so much!

to do- or how it works? I've never heard of this treatment and I'm interested

to learn more.

Also about the drops or doses to help get over allergies?

I've heard bits and pieces of information in the past but no one actually

explain to me what it all is and does.

Thanks so much!

Oh Kristy I'm sorry to hear about that. But I am also glad you too are finding

things that work for you... and I have found the same to be true for me also,

the more i avoid things that bother me the easier time I have identifying the

items I can tolerate.

BTW- do you know the exact name of those products you were talking about at

COSTCO? I might check them out myself.

Thanks
