Barrie, ND: " My own recent study of a large autistic clinical

database shows that children with autism had elevated levels in their

bodies of several chemicals known to be neurotoxic. The children have

genetic variations, which interfere with the proper detoxification of

those chemicals. With over 2,000 patients in the database, my paper is

one of the largest studies to show that environmental factors

interacting with associated genetic components may be contributing to

the causation of autism.... " My report showed on average the amount of

lead and mercury in the children's blood was 50 percent higher than

normal. Their genetic changes (SNPs) were related to what is called

Phase I and Phase II detoxification -- specifically the CYP and GST

family of genes. This defect reduced the children's ability to remove

excess toxins from their bodies.

" These autistic children also had a several fold higher level of bad gut

bacteria and reduced levels of beneficial gut bacteria. Bad gut bacteria

can produce neurotoxic amines and cause a " leaky gut " which allows toxic

substances to more easily enter the circulatory system ... "

Chemically injured groups such as Gulf War vets and civilians who have

become sensitized to neurotoxins, show the similar variations in the

ability to detoxify.
