Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi Patty, Look at my family: Mother (celiac disease, neurological problems that could be related to ASD and depression) Father (celiac disease, diagnosed ADD six years ago) 4 years old (celiac disease, ADHD, irritability and some ASD like behavior) KiKi 22 months old (Celiac disease, ASD) Talked for the first time in her life just a week ago! Is smiling and laughing for the first time too! Xena 17 months old (adopted) neurological problems related to hyperekplexia and cerebral palsy Please note that Celiac Disease (an auto-immune diseases that destroys the intestinal lining of the intestines causing malabsorption and abnormal permeability (leakey gut) of the intestines.....as it has been discovered in our family is much more than just GLUTEN...the gluten free diet DID NOT WORK! SCD does! On day 22 and already seeing improvement in many different ways in ALL OF US! And it has only been 3 weeks! Antoinette SCD entire family day 22 Re: Adult ADD Hi Patty! IMHO ADD is on the spectrum. You may have noticed that in numerous families with autistic children, they usually have a sibling with ADD or ADHD. Coincendence? Possibly, but I doubt it. Our DAN, Dr. Megson, informed us that our kids have a genetic predisposition for ASD (this was a conclusion she made after a thorough interview with my husband and is particularly related to a night-blindness gene that I have). Our oldest, Margeaux's, manifestation is ADD. SCD has drastically changed her in just 3 months. She was the first one to respond in behavior, focus, and improved bowels. Is she the perfect child? No! Do we still have a long journey ahead of us? Definitely! But the difference in such little time has been nothing short of amazing. Within weeks she dramatically changed. Her attitude was more compliant and obedient. She was less aggressive and manipulative with other family members. Her handwriting improved. The number of items accidentally broken in house due to her impulsive behaviors is now nill (whereas before it was nearly every day). And I know it is the diet. We started this diet with them in November of 2005. Margeaux began to calm down. At the end of November, we had all the holiday stuff to do. On the day we put up our tree, I was unable to do all my cooking, so I caved and ordered pizza. Within 1 hour of eating that pizza, Margeaux was bouncing off the walls (talking non-stop, impulsive behavior again, touching everything, being really bossy). She broke so many Christmas decoration items and other household furnishings that I vowed to never weaken again. On December 1 we went strictly SCD (although I am still working on getting my supplements legal . . . almost there). She is now my greatest helper, and a sheer joy to be around! Hope our story helps convince you. Living through her change definitely convinced me. Jeni Lynn (gastrointestinal problems) SCD 3 weeks mom to Margeaux, 5 yr.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Since we're talking theories here, may I would like to add another possibility to the mix. I developed ASD and speech problems after an additional round of vaccinations when moving from Richmond Virginia to overseas as a little girl. I suspect living in that area predisposed me to low glutathione, as the body uses glutathione to detoxify all sorts of contaminates entering the body. My father also had a part time job on weekends at while finishing his degree. So, got a bunch of shots, and Whamo, instant problems surrounding cognition. My brother was also diagnosed as ADHD. Then, living on a superfund, the melt off and toxin exposure occurred instantly causing autism, and I mean instantly! Perhaps these poisonings, whether from vaccinations, pollution, what have you, the mix that is causing glutathione to go down and further damage, perhaps this is changing our DNA that we pass down to our children. Research is showing that metals like mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic can change DNA, as they have mutagenic properties on cells. Especially liver and immune cells. And we all know, the first metal exposure causes upheavals in the intestinal flora and suppresses the immune system. So a new susceptability is being passed down. It is not strictly genetic, it is DNA Damage. Really, I see parents who suspect autism using SCD pre-conception, through birth and beyond as a possible preventative...keeping the muscosal layer healthy from the get go, strong and surly, and limiting exposures as best we can to toxins. Just wanted to give another spin on this theory. While autism would seem genetic in our small family history, it exists no where else in the older generations, like a ton of people. There is a genetic link, a new kind, I think.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Antoinette, I just want to clarify. Autism/speech problems do not run in my family, no where in my family. I had a vaccination reaction. It was clear cut, I was 6, high IQ, then whamo, I couldn't speak clearly, I scrambled my words and sentences, got things backwards, and socially...So did my brother, and when my mom was pregnant, she was using a medicene in the 70's that clearly causes ADHD and ADD. Its genetic damage, and its the genetic damage that gets passed on. This is my belief. Summer Bunce ajbunce@...> wrote: WOW! EVERY ONE OF US ARE OR HAD SPEECH PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 What was the medicine from the 70's that causes ADHD and ADD? My Mom has ADD bigtime, I have it worse, and my son has autism. ALso my Mom gave me tuna every day for lunch in elementary school. I was straight A's til 8th grade, then started getting less and less able to focus. I still did fairly well but ADD has always been bad. Then when I got the Rhogham shot in pregnancy and flu shot, I went over the edge and had to quit my job. Both shots have mercury or did at that time. We grew up in a town with steel mills. My theory is that you have genes that do not easily chelate poisons, and that that is what is getting magnified (the amount of poisons). _____ From: pecanbread [mailto:pecanbread ] On Behalf Of Gertrude Snicklegrove Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 4:03 PM To: pecanbread Subject: Re: Adult ADD AND MORE!

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Carol, My mom use to mention it alot, but I don't remember the name of the medicene...it was catchy though. Also, most steel mill towns are superfund sites, whether you know it or not. Cadmium and arsenic, in addition to the mercury and lead, alter DNA replication. Tuna also can have mercury, although the tuna these days has higher mercury than when we were children. Those shots you received still have mercury. People take them because they think they are immuno-depressed, pregnancy, aids, cancer, etc. When in reality, one is furthering the mechanisms of immuno-suppresion. A healthy immune system can take care of a little old flu, and if not, needs some strengthening, not weakening. Attacking the symptoms, is useless in the long run. How about, your genes are similar to other persons, but simply withstood much more toxin insult before breaking down? How about you then pass down this altered inability to handle toxins...just a little bit altered. Your child passes it down, but still, environmental insult is key to this genes expression. What I am getting at is the insult is working with genes. Nothing is " only " environmental, " only " genes, only anything. There is a direct, researchable relationship. Companies like Arsarco and Allied Chemical and Merck should stop funding research that shows the " genetic " link. The genetic link, through environmental change, selectivity and catastrophe, despite the research validating it, will be dismissed, especially in lieu of constant relaxation of already extremely loose laws concerning pollution from the big factories. Do you know they make pretty inexpensive and easy to install caps for smoke stacks to catch most of the mercury and lead? What in the world! Who is benefitting from relaxing the laws? Who is benefiiting? Definitely not special needs, and definitely not the whole population, and definitely not indigenous wildlife, not the water, that's for sure. Makes me wonder how these doctors living in these towns make such casual genetic remarks from experience...why is the rest of the genetic line healthy, living over 100 with no health problems??? It is not like they are personally gauging pollution in their own communities. How many other people map out their family histories? I notice the rest of my family grew up on family farms, pastured, cleaner air and water, old fashioned food like SCD. If this is true, it still doesn't take away the fact that SCD is recovering so many of our kids perfectly, getting their livers to work, and their metals to do down. I believe my family had perfect genes to chelate poisons. I believe they were damaged by chemical and metal insult, like any humans or animals. Living at a superfund site, yes, my children developed autism, but other children developed no autism! They developed instead celiac disease, UC, fungal infections. In other words, everyone developed something, the symptoms were different. Perhaps damage in the previous generations is inherited to some degree, like my own vaccinaton reaction, and that is the difference the researchers may find between celiac, immune depression and autism. How many generations the direct poisonning takes before the final autism diagnosis, is hard to say. Still I see SCD as the main way out of this hole, the way my great grandmother ate. Pastured animals on unchemical treated land, because of this, getting the adequate omega 3 to 6 ration (perfect in pastured animals), getting the right amounts of organic selenium (which bonds and inactivates the metals from causing further oxidative damage), vitamin e, and all those other nutrients only pastured animals, milk and eggs can give. The butter. The fruits in season. The vegetables in season. The cleaner air. The water. Much different then the plastic world of processed food and municipal water, air, and medicenes we have become legacy holders too. The question is, what do we have left to give to our children. What land, what air, what water, what food, what art, what sense of being in this world, being whole, being perfect. What are we going to leave, besides symptoms, to our families? Is it our fate to suffer silently because the rest of society is not concerned? Aren't they concerned over other auto-immune issues, diabetes, thyroid, pancreas, cancer, even waistlines?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Carol, My mom use to mention it alot, but I don't remember the name of the medicene...it was catchy though. Also, most steel mill towns are superfund sites, whether you know it or not. Cadmium and arsenic, in addition to the mercury and lead, alter DNA replication. Tuna also can have mercury, although the tuna these days has higher mercury than when we were children. Those shots you received still have mercury. People take them because they think they are immuno-depressed, pregnancy, aids, cancer, etc. When in reality, one is furthering the mechanisms of immuno-suppresion. A healthy immune system can take care of a little old flu, and if not, needs some strengthening, not weakening. Attacking the symptoms, is useless in the long run. How about, your genes are similar to other persons, but simply withstood much more toxin insult before breaking down? How about you then pass down this altered inability to handle toxins...just a little bit altered. Your child passes it down, but still, environmental insult is key to this genes expression. What I am getting at is the insult is working with genes. Nothing is " only " environmental, " only " genes, only anything. There is a direct, researchable relationship. Companies like Arsarco and Allied Chemical and Merck should stop funding research that shows the " genetic " link. The genetic link, through environmental change, selectivity and catastrophe, despite the research validating it, will be dismissed, especially in lieu of constant relaxation of already extremely loose laws concerning pollution from the big factories.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Just jumping in . . . I agree with Summer. The research I have been doing as well as the guidance I have gotten from our DAN points to the idea that this puzzle is genetic as well as environmental. I was told by our DAN, after asking me questions about my vision and the way I see light, that I have a mutation in some of my genes (I can post their general location after I look it up again and if there is interest). This mutation causes night-blindness and there is a strong correlation between this type of mutation and ASD in families. My daughter, Margeaux (who is add), also has a physical feauture which lends itself to this theory as well. She has accessory nipples (one that is particularly prominent). Dr. Megson says that when there is are mutations in these genes that strongly correlate with ASD it is not uncommon to find acessory nipples in the family. Apparently the gene that causes accessory nipples when it is mutated is located in close proximity to these " night-blindness " genes. Therefore, when one is mutated sometimes the other is mutated as well. With all that being said, it is still environmental factors which set off ASD (except for a tiny, small subgroup of ASDs). I have read that the mutated genes (which are originally mutated from environmental factors and passed down) are the pistol. Environmental toxins in our food, homes, and vaccines are the trigger. And, as Summer was saying, everyone manifests differently when the trigger is pulled which is why there is a spectrum rather than everyone ending up with autism. But it does seem that the higher the exposure to concentrated toxins, the more likely it is you will manifest more severely. I have also been told that hormones have a lot to do with this which is why boys are 4 times more likely to get ASD than girls. Apparently, estrogen provides some degree of protection for the brain against mercury and such. The opposite is true for boys. Their testosterone magnifies the toxicity of mercury. This leads us down the path towards puberty when we get surges of all these raging hormones. Many times it is this window when kids manifest or symptoms worsen (especially boys) which is why you sometimes see things like you said where it hits you in middle school. Anyway, this is what I am digging up. And I thought I would add my bit to this interesting thread.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hey Summer! Me too. Perfect vision (probably better than average because I can see very clearly at extreme distances). But at night, I am blinded by the light of oncoming vehicles when I am driving. And my vision temporarily blacks out in spots after being exposed to a camera's flash or a glimpse at the sun. Dr. Megson says that in the vast majority of her ASD patients, one or both of the parents have this " night blindness " problem. Jeni Lynn Re: Adult ADD AND MORE!

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Jeni Lynn, That is an exact description of my night time vision. And I receive plenty of vitamin A through my diet. My husband always kids around, because he doesn't understand why I have such great vision and such terrible night vision. Actually, one time I went to the eye doctor, and he told me my vision was technically better than 20/20, if such a thing could exist! I can see very clearly up close and very far distances as well. Goodness, it is kind of funny to compare all this with ourselves too, we usually just post about our kids. heehee Summer Knopp jlknopp@...> wrote: Hey Summer! Me too.
