Dr. Megson's work RE: Night Blindness

" This study of 60 autistic children and their families suggests that

inserting a G-alpha protein defect, namely the pertussis toxin in the D.P.T.

vaccine, (3) into genetically at-risk children causes autism. This toxin

separates the G-alpha protein from retinoid receptors. Those most at risk

report a family history of at least one parent with a pre-existing G-alpha

protein defect, exhibited in disorders such as night blindness,

pseudohypoparathyroidism or adenoma of the thyroid or pituitary gland (4). "

Re: Night Blindness!

Antionette,

I agree with what you are saying. I left out in my post that I do believe

SCD and good individualized nutritional supplementation are huge pieces to

this puzzle. I am thinking that these mutations or whatever the problem is

can be reversed, corrected, or compensated for in some way. Otherwise, we

all would not see the results that we are seeing.

Our DAN says that with all the measures we are taking for our family, she

expects my children to make a complete recovery eventually. I know she

couldn't say this if genetics were the " final say " in the matter. But with

healing the gut, removing the toxins in our bodies (via SCD or otherwise),

and limiting our exposure to new toxic insults as much as possible, we are

on the road to recovery.

What you say about night blindness relating to all of these digestive

disorders and nutritional deficiencies makes sense to me. My family runs

rampant with digestive problems, and obviously -- since I said it before --

I have night blindness. Maybe the genes / mutations whatever make one more

susceptible to such vitamin deficiencies and the like? Who knows? That is

why this is such a puzzle. But I try not to get stuck here. How it

happened is important to investigate, but I have tried to move past it and

focus on recovery since we all know this is a viable possiblity.

I am so glad for this hope of recovery! Our genes do not determine the

outcome here!
