LIKE!or rather - dislike :(My flu shot happened before I even got pregnant. And my baby was still poisoned. If he's not mercury poisoned, how come he's getting better with chelation????Sent from my iPhone

In recent years, my immune system has been working relatively well,... I have rarely missed a day of work due to any type of "illness", other than dental woes, for the most part. That said, I could be considered a bit of a latent mercurial time bomb, as I am still sporting at least a dozen mercury-containing amalgams in my teeth. I had several more in the years that I was pregnant with my children. Back in those years, there was thimerosal in childhood vaccines, but some of our kids may have gotten an extra whammy from the mercury vapor emitted by maternal amalgams, which DOES cross the placental "barrier", by the way, and sequesters itself in the fetus's fatty organs and tissues. :-(AasaSubject: [Autism] Immune Disorders and Autism - NYTTo: Date: Saturday, August 25, 2012, 10:45 PM

But there is always a flippin "trigger" to "flip on the" inflamation. geezWhy do none of these "experts" ever mention that. It could be the aluminum or ethylmercury in the vaccine whether the mom's flu shot or the baby's first-day Hep B.

An Immune Disorder at the Root of Autism

By MOISES VELASQUEZ-MANOFF

IN recent years, scientists have made extraordinary advances in

understanding the causes of autism, now estimated to afflict 1 in 88

children. But remarkably little of this understanding has percolated

into popular awareness, which often remains fixated on vaccines.

So here’s the short of it: At least a subset of autism — perhaps

one-third, and very likely more — looks like a type of inflammatory

disease. And it begins in the womb.

It starts with what scientists call immune dysregulation. Ideally,

your immune system should operate like an enlightened action hero,

meting out inflammation precisely, accurately and with deadly force

when necessary, but then quickly returning to a Zen-like calm. Doing

so requires an optimal balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory muscle.

In autistic individuals, the immune system fails at this balancing

act. Inflammatory signals dominate. Anti-inflammatory ones are

inadequate. A state of chronic activation prevails. And the more

skewed toward inflammation, the more acute the autistic symptoms.

Nowhere are the consequences of this dysregulation more evident than

in the autistic brain. Spidery cells that help maintain neurons —

called astroglia and microglia — are enlarged from chronic

activation. Pro-inflammatory signaling molecules abound. Genes

involved in inflammation are switched on.

These findings are important for many reasons, but perhaps the most

noteworthy is that they provide evidence of an abnormal, continuing

biological process. That means that there is finally a therapeutic

target for a disorder defined by behavioral criteria like social

impairments, difficulty communicating and repetitive behaviors.

But how to address it, and where to begin?....

The answer is relatively simple. Too many (high-falooting) asses would be on the burner(s) if any of those possible triggers would be seriously considered.IMHO,AasaP,S., Don't forget,...the 'flippin' trigger' could also include the additional mercury some kids get from their mothers' mercury-containing amalgams.Subject: [Autism] Immune Disorders and Autism - NYTTo: Date: Saturday, August 25, 2012, 10:45 PM

I never thought I was sensitive to EMFs, but I sure do feel better when I am away from them!

In both places, my kids were able to access the Internet for a bit, but access was spotty and far between. We did some hiking, canoeing, and kayaking, some of my favorite activities, and I felt well throughout all of these activities.If one can feel the frequency of EMFs in one's body, please let me know what this might feel like. I am not too happy with the wide-screen TV that my hubby installed in the bedroom, which is really too small for that size of a TV.Aasa To: "EOHarm " <EOHarm > Sent: Monday, August 27, 2012 9:44:56 PM Subject: Re: Fw: [Autism] Immune Disorders and Autism - NYT

I am sensitive to emfs. I haven't used a cell phone since 2010. 3G started my

sensitivity. 4G made it worse.

We had to get a doctor's note for my son w autism to plug in his lap top at

school. He feels the wi-fi as sensations & gets a headache from it.

My daughter gets migraines from wi-fi.

I think they are insane with all these new towers.

This is not healthy for anyone. Check out Environmental Health Trust

Dr. Devra 's work. Cell phone use causes brain cancer. Kid's brains are

thinner than adults. Compare as w vaccines, adult dose compared to a child's.

Cell phones were never studied. They tested 30 mins of use & produced them.

Wi-fi is even worse. Radiating your environment for a convenient internet

connection. Causes cancer, neuro diseases.

heart attack, & strokes. Blood thickens in high emfs.

http://environmentalhealthtrust.org/

http://www.magdahavas.com/category/electrosmog-exposure/schools/

There is a legislative bill to study this.

http://kucinich.house.gov/uploadedfiles/kucini_103_xml.pdf

HR 6358 Cell Phone Right To Know Act:

examine, label, and communicate, adverse biological effects associated with

exposure to electromagnetic fields from cell phones, and other wireless devices,

and for other purposes

Of ALL of the things you should never do is have a tv (much less that large) in the bedroom. You should also avoid having a digital alarm clock facing you while you sleep and not within ten feet of you. Sometime when I accidentally leave my cased laptop in the corner of my room (farthest away from my body, I will wake during the night and not realize until the next day that I have left it in the room. The feeling is like this dizzying feeling that goes through your head. I suspect my last dentist did not remove an amalgam filling before placing a new cap. This was before I even knew what an environmental dentist was so I never told the dentist who did that work that I wanted it out. I did have all the rest done a couple of years later. I can feel those stinking smart

meters when they are doing the "meter reading." To: "EOHarm " <EOHarm > Sent: Monday, August 27, 2012 9:35 PM Subject: Re: Fw: [Autism] Immune Disorders and Autism - NYT
