Horse Shit Cures Autism

[Guest guest]

Here is an article I found at http://www.amug.org/~a203/horse.html which

claims that Arizona horse shit cures autism. Does anyone here know if the

claims are true?

(PHOENIX, AZ, 2/9/96)

A California couple, Judd and Winona Cleaver, transferred to Arizona by

their company, received what appears to be a medical

miracle in the bargain. Their son, , who had just gone through several

days of testing at UCLA, confirming the diagnosis of

autism, seems to have inexplicably and completely recovered from his

autistic condition with the move to Arizona. This report was

soon followed by two other similar reports. Recovery from autism is

considered very rare and had researchers puzzled.

Was some unknown environmental factor involved? Bradley , M.D., heading

an investigation team from the Center for

Disease Control arrived with the task of finding the answer. Dr. Bradley and

his team finally isolated what they are guardedly

calling an unsuspected environmental agent in Arizona which may have very

well be a cure for autism.

" We knew that the microorganism which causes Valley Fever was a soil-bourne

pathogen, rare outside Arizona and a few other

desert habitats. We were just guessing at first, of course, sort of tongue

in cheek, but we wondered whether or not there could be

some other organism in the Arizona soil which could account for 's

recovery. " Bradley went on to say, " When we found that ,

like many moving to Arizona, the Cleavers and the other two families had

selected and bought homes made from adobe (a type of

sunbaked bricks made from Arizona soil) we felt we might be onto something.

That was about all we had to go on at first, though. "

After months of testing the soil around the Cleaver home turned up nothing,

one of Dr. Bradley¹s team, microbiologist Pam ,

began examining adobe bricks themselves and how they are made.

discovered that the the soil used requires a binding agent

which gave adobe the added strength to last hundreds of years. In examining

the Adobe bricks in the Cleaver home,

confirmed what Arizona old timers already knew: the & quotsecret ingredient "

was Arizona horse manure.

Could common horse manure contain some agent or microorganism which could

explain the autism cure phenomenon? Well, as it

turned out yes and no. After extensive testing it seems that only Arizona

horse manure contains this promising property.

Double blind studies were done with other families with autistic children,

moving half into adobe homes and an equal number of

carefully matched controls into homes built of other materials. The study,

just concluded, left no doubt: Arizona horse shit seems to

almost completely eliminate autistic symptoms.

Long time Arizona horse rancher, Clyde Barton whose family sold horses to

the Army and prospectors moving West in the early

days, recalls that his family's horses probably built half the homes in

Phoenix in the those days. " Why, the first stop anybody

wanting to build an adobe home made was to our corrals to see how we were

fixed for binder. "

Barton still remembers that the corrals were located in present day downtown

Phoenix, on the site of the Arizona Department of

Developmental Disabilities. " I wouldn¹t be surprised it there weren't tons

of horse shit there still. " , stated Barton.

In a recent press release, Dr. , leader of the Center for Disease

Control team, confirmed it officially.This conclusion comes

as no surprised to officials in Arizona. According to an unidentified but

highly placed official in Arizona State government, " We

have never had a single reported case of autism in the entire history of

Arizona. Any autism you find here would have had to been

imported by commies, bleeding heart liberals or other such riff-raff from

California or one of the other 49 subversive states. In

Arizona ... let me repeat ... autism does not exist! "

It is the Arizona health plan, AHCCCS, which is being used as a model for

current Medicaid reform. All of those with autism

should experience a miraculous cure, because we all will be getting plenty

of Arizona horseshit.
