The Phosphorus/Calcium Connection And Autism

[Guest guest]

I've been a member here for quite a while, but never posted because I

couldn't understand much about how enzyme treatmnts/diets/whatever

worked - from the enzyme perspective... However, things started

to " click " for me yesterday as I was reading up on Phosphorus and

Calcium:

1) their connection to each other, ( and a host of other " family

members " , like salt/sodium, hormonal changes in the thyroid, [ if I

have that right ], gut flora, Vitamin D, etc., etc., etc.. ),

2) their control of the growth and the activation of just about

everything else, ( ie: bones, teeth, kidneys, the gut, etc. ), in the

body, ( which is why the genetic researchers are going nuts about

this new gene they found that " controls " sensory input ), and

3) how the imbalance of Calcium and Phosphorus can even cause

everything from learning disabilities, suseptability to lead/metals

toxidity, heart attacks, loss of kidney function, gut problems, and

much, much more...

I don't know if this is the correct board on which to ask my

question, but has anyone else ever checked into what the imbalance of

these two simple things do to the body or is it just me who has found

that an over-abundance of phosphorus in the body is like pouring too

much fertilizer on a plant which will FRY it's innards and " outards "

from the nerve cells all the way to the " brain " cells and perfectly

explains why that when this is done to kids they TURN/BECOME autistic?

I'm not out to insult everyone with my questions, I'm simply needing

someone who understands all of this to tell me if I'm off on a wild

goose chase - or if this all sounds logical...I'm still reading up on

this so see that there are a couple of articles explaining how this

works, ( They are way too technical for me. I have to let my brain

rest from what I read yesterday before I move on to them. ), but

since we all know there's a " dairy problem " , wouldn't it be logical

to say that we have to go to the " root " of the problem, rather

than " out on the limbs " /branches, ( Pun intended. ), trying to fix

it?

In other words: we have to go to that which in the body CONTROLS the

flora in the gut,( and almost everything else in the body! ), rather

than trying to control the gut, etc., ourselves - which could still

leave the phosphorus imbalance frying everything inside. In short :

if the gut flora, etc., is fixed by enzymes, but the phosphorus

levels are still out of control and, therefore, still draining the

body of the necessary calcium needed to control everything else and

protect the immune system, then we aren't fixing much.

The problem is still there - with the imbalance of the calcium and

phosphorus levels....that's if I'm reading all of the information

correctly. I'm never good at analogies, but from what I'm reading

that would be like trying to stop someone from bleeding by putting a

bandaid on a small cut on their ankle while leaving the huge gash on

the top of their leg unattended..

That said,( and, again, no insults intended, this is just how I

learn. ), has anyone tried calcium suppliments - which will control

the phosphorus overload - and stop the nerves and other cells

from " frying " ? ( Though you have to be careful with the calcium

suppliments, because even some of them have lead in them..) I also

read last night where a guy started taking Calcium suppliments in the

hopes it would stop the pain in his back/bones from an old football

injury, but to his surprise, what happened instead was that his

asperger symptoms began to disappear...

Ok, before I run off too much at the keyboard explaining things

everyone else may already understand or that don't apply here, I'll

leave my questions, explanations, and excitement at that and see what

y'all's replys are. There's much more to this I haven't even covered

yet. I'd just like to know if I'm on the right track here, if anyone

else has noticed this correlation, and if not, then what the heck are

the scientists doing?!?!??! This is soooooooooooooo simple!
