Isn't the link Mercury? Genetics don't cause epidemics, do they?

Hi Zurama,

 

Please read through the mito action article, it explains a lot..

 

I think having an underlying mitochondrial condition (like a mitochondrial DNA

mutation) predisposes some people/kids to disease  b/c they are much more

susceptble to environmental toxins like mercury .. in other words they're

saying there is a sensitive population (1 in 200).   Environmental factors

play a big role as well. There's a relationship between environmental factors

and susceptiblity of the individual to disease.

If you read Dr. Pall's theory (NO/ONOO) you will see that a metabolic disorder

develops as a result of the abnormal biochemistry. It probably occurs in all

individuals to some extent; the children who have spontaneous remissions very

little and those who are very ill and end up with brain damage have more.

What is the relationship between Autism and Mitochondrial

Disease? Many children who exhibit ASD symptoms may actually have underlying

mitochondrial disease

So, what is the relationship between autism and mitochondrial disease?

Find out, read this excellent guidance by MitoAction.org entitled:

" Has Your Child with Autistic Symptoms Been Properly Screened for a Subset of

Mitochondrial Disease Known as OXPHOS?

…Probably Not " (click on the link below, then title)

http://www.mitoaction.org/autism

An Excerpt:

" Some geneticists believe that the rate of mitochondrial disease may be as high

as 1 in

200 live births,1 and the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF) states

that every 30 minutes a child is born who will develop a mitochondrial disease

by age 10.2

Thus, many children who exhibit ASD symptoms may actually have underlying

mitochondrial disease; unfortunately at this time, they are “undiagnosed,â€

and many doctors are unaware of the emerging research. AMD can occur when

there are problems within the process known as oxidative phosphorylation. "

Listen to this Update on Mito Treatment Approaches

Dr. Anselm is a member of MitoAction's medical advisory committee and practices

in Child Neurology at Children's Hospital Boston. Her research is focused on

clinical presentation of children with mitochondrial disorders and their

response to therapy with different medications and vitamins / supplements.
