Guest guest Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 The DSM has no real meaning today with regard to virtually all " mental " problems. It keeps getting added to in the effort to get doctors paid for what they do by insurance. Diagnosis for most mental problems is impossible since there are no " real " tests available as in physical problems where we can measure blood and urine and even hair. We can't measure brain cells, or thoughts. The traditional measurements are word tests like the MMPA, and many others, but they are only good to a small extent, and depend on too many factors to be anything but " maybe " . So, to measure ADD or Autism, there are some older tests that are somewhat useful - free versions are found at: http://drbate.com/content/testing_diagnostics.shtmlThere's a further problem. The ADD/ADHD symptoms are virtually always part of Aspergers, and there is no clear division between. The line is whether there is brain damage or not. and we have no definitive tests to determine this. Then, how much damage has been done by mercury or other toxic minerals, or physical damage is impossible to determine with any accuracy. Add to that the INDIVIDUALITY of each affected person, and it is literally impossible to diagnose with any accuracy just where the child is. The doctors have to " guess " , and they really don't know, but no doctor can admit that. All of the above is further complicated by the insurance rules, and so to get paid for doling work, the DSM was invented, and keeps growing. Realize that few MD's have any real training about autism or ADD/ADHD in Med School, and little or no training in anything except drugs. And it is now known that drugs do not cure these. The problem is mostly toxicity from mercury, aluminum, lead, etc. It doesn't show up in blood, urine or hair in autism patients. The liver filters out these toxins and stores them unless it is overloaded. But it releases these IF, AND ONLY IF, there is a chemical in the blood ;that can combine with such metals ;and take it out of the body. The two " natural " chemicals are ascorbic acid vitamin C, and glutathione. If these are not in the blood, then any measurement gives a " false negative " , because the liver can't release them back into the blood. (This has been Big Pharma's legal defense, but now the facts are becoming known to defense lawyers, and the government is paying out millions (or maybe billions) in compensation secretly. The curve of mercury pollution in our culture matches very closely the rise of autism (all forms) in our culture - coincidence " I think not. Vaccines containing either mercury or aluminum are a major cause of autism coupled with too much mercury in the mother during pregnancy. Big Pharma has consistently lied about mercury being " out " in drugs. Vaccines still contain it. So, from the above, it is thought by most persons that there is " NO CURE " for all forms of autism. This is simply not true. The former Pfeiffer Clinic in Chicago literally cured hundreds of cases of autism, and those children are now doing well as adults or near adults. There is a similar inexpensive set of therapies that duplicates the Pfeiffer therapies, but is done at home, thus affordable for mid and low income families. An article describing these four therapies is downloadable free at: http://drbate.com/content/integrated.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
