Your recent Ped Med: Studies eye autistic kids' kin article addressing genetic studies

[Guest guest]

Lidia Wasowicz,

Your recent articles have been very disappointing

because they address issues of genetics that have

already been shown to be, at best, predisposing

factors and not the cause, per se, of the epidemic

increase in a variety of chronic disease conditions,

including, but not limited to, asthma, diabetes,

obesity, MS, gut disorders, IDCM, leukemia, and

other " childhood " diseases besides " autism " and

the related neurodevelopmental disorders on which

you, the major media outlets, the healthcare

establishment, and the federal government seek to

direct the attention of the American public.

Since numerous genetic studies have already been

done and reported repeatedly, and there is a recent

(2006) book, " AUTISM, BRAIN and ENVIRONMENT " by

Lathe that reports the history of those

findings from the 1940s into 2005, it would seem

that, while " instructive, " genetic research has

added little or nothing to:

· Stopping the epidemic increases in " chronic

diseases " being observed or

· Curing or mitigating the damage being observed in

the children and adults that have clinical

symptoms that are known to be " caused " by

" heavy metal poisoning. "

Based on what is known, there is no more need to look

for the " genetic causes " of the clinical conditions

being observed since it is clear that " genetics " are,

at best, a predisposing factor and not, per se, the

cause of the epidemic increases in the chronic disease

conditions being diagnosed.

For example, though a significant percentage of those

with the " Fragile X " mutation have a diagnosis of

" autism " or an " autistic spectrum disorder, " NOT all

do.

With respect to your initial statement:

" SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- A number of studies

have shown parents and siblings of autistic children

sometimes share some of the anatomical and behavioral

anomalies characteristic of autism, even though they

themselves do not have the disorder, " please consider

the following.

1 Factually, in the case studies I've seen, when the

siblings are NOT vaccinated or only vaccinated with

vaccines free of mercury (but not with certain

vaccines whose effectiveness is illusory) AFTER the

child has reached two years of age, though they

share similar genetics because they have the same

2 parents, the siblings do NOT share the anomalies

characteristic of sub-acute poisoning by mercury and

other heavy metals, including the symptom set from

poisoning by mercury and other heavy metals that is

used to diagnose " autism, " and they are " normal, "

" healthy " children.

2 In fact, in pediatric practices that have a signi-

ficant populations of both " vaccineated, " " con-

servatively vaccinated, " and " unvaccinated " children,

the staff recognize the " unvaccinated " and " conser-

vatively vaccinated " children are, on the whole,

healthier than their fully vaccinated counterparts

-- of course their views are just " anecdotal "

reports, but they are " anecdotal " reports by

pediatricians and their medically trained staff who

are trained to spot the differences between " healthy "

and " unhealthy " children.

3 Moreover, I note that, in the case of developmental

lead poisoning by lead in paint and gasoline

(products produced by industries outside of health),

the focus of the healthcare establishment and the

federal government was on getting the lead out of

the environment and treating the lead-poisoned kids

to recover them as much as possible, and NOT on

the genetics of those affected or their parents

or siblings.

4 However, in the case of mercury in the " medicine "

and " dentistry " industries, the focus of the

healthcare establishment and the federal govern-

ment has been on DEFENDING the use and presence

of mercury in drugs and amalgam fillings and in

investigating the genetics of those affected and

their parents and siblings INSTEAD OF on getting

mercury out of medicine & dentistry, and treating

the mercury-poisoned kids and parents to recover

them as much as possible and, in the case of the

adults, to reduce their risk of developing early-

onset " Alzheimer's Disease " and other dementias

and diseases in which Thimerosal has been

implicated as a probable causative factor.

5 You and the other reporters seem oblivious

to the hypocrisy in the different approaches

used when the ox being gored, public health,

is being gored by non-health-related

industries (paint and gasoline) versus when

the public health is being gored by the

healthcare establishment lead by medicine

and dentistry.

6 I am appalled by that hypocrisy as well as

the failure of reporters to ask the obvious

- when the genetics are similar or identical,

what caused the damaged child's disease

conditions that neither his parents nor

other siblings have?

7 I am also appalled by your myopic focus

on the increase in " autism " while the

rates for childhood asthma, obesity,

diabetes, MS, leukemia, digestive

dysfunction, allergies, and other chronic

diseases have increased from background

to epidemic levels (e.g., for asthma, from

" 1 in 10,000 " to " 10 to 25 in 100 " ),

diseases that have filled, and are filling,

the coffers of all facets of the

American healthcare establishment to over-

flowing while robbing the American people

of their healthy children, hard-earned

dollars, and the hope that their children

will have as good, or better, a life than

they have had.

8 How have these " genetic " studies helped

cure or mitigate the harm that has been

inflicted on these damaged children?

9 How are the studies to which you are

alluding different from simply blaming

the parents for causing the problem?

10 How, when it is obvious that medicine's

use of highly toxic, bioaccumulative

mercury compounds without in-depth

toxicological proof of their " in use "

safety at levels 100, or more, times

higher than the worst-case level of

exposure and dentistry's use of mercury-

amalgam fillings without toxicological

proof that these fillings released a

level of mercury that is safe for all

recipients, including those who metabolize

and excrete mercury much less efficiently

than " normal " people?

11 Given the knowing failure of medicine and

dentistry to truly prove the " in use "

safety of mercury in any application at 100

times the normal level of exposure (based

on the proven human toxicity of mercury at

levels below 1 part per billion), it should

be obvious that the reason these studies

have NOT been conducted is that toxicolog-

ical safety at 100X the current 25-microgram

exposure level (2500 micrograms [2.5 mg])

CANNOT be proven BECAUSE toxicity has been

shown at levels more than 10 times lower

than this level (proven toxicity at levels <

1 ppm as per 1970s Lilly memo currently

sealed by the court).

With respect to your:

" The studies were carried out to circumvent

the difficulties inherent in investigations

of brain and cognitive development in

autistic children, many of whom have limited

communication skills, among other challenges,

researchers said.

In one investigation, scientists at the

University of Colorado, Colorado State

University and the University of Denver pored

over three-dimensional brain images of the

children's kindred for signs of heritable

abnormalities.

In comparing the scans of 40 parents with

autistic offspring and 40 without, they

found size differences between the two groups

in a multitude of regions, each of which

regulates behaviors that are affected in autism,

the authors said, " please consider the following:

1 In a nation where most all received mercury-

laced vaccines that have never been proven

safe and many have received mercury-amalgam

fillings that have also never been proven safe

to use, one would expect the differences

observed based on studies in mice by Hornig et

al. (2004), since the parents of children

diagnosed with autism would have similar genetic

dispositions vis-à-vis mercury detoxification.

2 However, genetics does not explain the reality

that American children who are:

· Born to mothers where there is no Rh-compatibility

issues,

· Born after the child affected, and

· Either not vaccinated or minimally vaccinated

are " normal " and very healthy as compared to:

· Their affected siblings or

· Even those older siblings born before the

period from the late 1980s to the early 2000s

when American babies received the maximum

level of Thimerosal exposure was.

3 If the cause were " genetic " then:

· Every child with that " genetic "

make-up would be affected and

· Identical twins would be affected

identically,

but the facts clearly show that this

is NOT the case.

Finally, with respect to your:

" In the first study to show a genetic effect

on human lactation, the researchers

discovered having a certain variant of a

gene -- which some one-third of the U.S.

population does -- can boost by 40 percent

the amount of a needed nutrient that

enters a mother's breast milk, the team

reported.

A shortage of the substance -- a type of

omega-3 fat called decosahexaenoic acid,

or DHA, found mainly in cold-water fish

such as tuna, salmon and mackerel -- has

been implicated in autism, attention-deficit/

hyperactivity disorder, learning disabilities

and other developmental disorders, " please

consider the following realities.

1 Since most American mothers do NOT breastfeed

their children at all much less for the natural

period for humans (2-3 years), what does this

finding have to do with anything disease since

this study showed no linkage between the group

of mothers having this genetic condition and the

health of their babies?

2 Moreover, in practices where breastfeeding is

encouraged and early and blind-faith vaccination

is discouraged, why is it that there is almost

no asthma and no " autism " or other related

neurodevelopmental disorder in the children who

were breastfed and not vaccinated?

3 This finding of no significant level of " autism "

(or " asthma " ) has also been observed in the

unvaccinated children of the Amish, who have

the same level or, because of " inbreeding, " a

higher incidence of many of the disease

conditions that are recognized as " genetic. "

Hopefully, after reading this email

and the book cited, and carefully

considering the realities stated,

you will turn to reporting on those

tests procedures that can and should

be used in a comprehensive differential

diagnosis, which should be given to

every affected child, to determine

the probable causative factors and

the effective " curative " and/or

" mitigative " therapies that are

appropriate for all of the medical

conditions revealed by that comprehensive

differential diagnostic work up.

Respectfully,

Dr. King
