New findings regarding autism

[Guest guest]

Dr. Mark Geier and his son, , were in town to testify before

the Kansas Senate regarding Kansas Bill Subject No. 537, authored by

Senator Hensley. The bill reads as such, " Children 8 years

old or under and knowingly pregnant women; shall not receive vaccine

containing mercury; exemptions; actual or potential public health

emergency or actual or potential bioterrorist incident. Penalties

and civil liability listed. " http://www.kslegislature.org/legsrv-

While in town, Dr. Geier and were invited to speak at the

Autism Asperger Resource Center. As this was an impromptu visit,

they did not have handouts but did have their computer with

powerpoint. I frantically wrote and wrote to take notes. Since then,

I have found a similar presentation (that they had given in the

recent past) online at http://www.autismmedia.org/media4.html

You will find it very valuable to go listen to all four segments of

this talk

They feel they have found a definite link in high levels of

testosterone and autism (which are affected by mercury from

vaccines). That is simplifying it too much to make that general

statement, but it all has to do with a genetic link that prevents

normal metabolism of certain enzymes that eventually affect

testosterone levels (increasing them). Testosterone binds to

mercury and increases levels left in the body. Autistics cannot get

rid of mercury in their urine like " normal " people. It's a vicious

cycle that makes more sense when you listen to the video.

I do have written notes that may fill in some of the gaps that

aren't in this video presentation if you would want them. Just let

me know.

Oral chelating therapy has been used in the past by many

(successfully and unsuccessfully because it binds loose mercury but

not imbedded mercury), but Dr. Mark Geier recommends an additional

treatment to this protocol. He has treated eleven children (ages 4-

9) from November 2004 through February 2005 using Lupron Depot

(there is an eligibility assessment for enrollment in the test

program). Lupron decreases the body's production of testosterone.

Testosterone suppression might increase the efficacy of chelation to

remove mercury. MARKED RESULTS HAVE COME ABOUT in the test

subjects. Cognitive and sociability have improved dramatically in

the children being tested. He presented pictures and school reports

of pre- and post- treatment children. One 9 year old student went

from nonverbal, flat affect, who couldn't even balance to sit in a

swing, who was only able to master a hand full of skills on his

school assessment, to becoming a talking, communicative student who

has mastered 90% of the skills for his age level at school now,

and " asks " to be pushed in the swing.

Administering Lupron does not come without its problems. The

question arises " What happens to a child receiving Lupron when

he/she is supposed to naturally be going through puberty? " Because

this study has only gone on for a short time, that question cannot

be answered yet in how to handle that. They are currently doing

trials on 13 and 14 year olds. Also, the question arises, " When do

we stop administering the Lupron, or can we/should we? " It is also

costly, about $1500/month but HMO's currently pick up on the cost.

On July 7, 1999 the American Academy of Pediatrics and the US Public

Health Service issued a joint statement calling for the removal of

thimerosal from vaccines, prompted by a risk assessment from the

FDA. However, they are working very slowly at acting on this

recommendation. Currently, six states have legislation banning

vaccines with thimerosal (Missouri, Iowa, California, Delaware,

Illinois, and New York). England has banned it since August of

2004. The incidence of new cases of autism in these areas has

rapidly decreased.

They are suspiciuos that this finding could even have implications

with diseases like Alzheimers' where it has been proven in the

brains of corpses that they had elevated levels of heavy metals.
