Re: Is hereditary autism curable?

[Guest guest]

nope. i have autism running rampant in mine family, cool visual, people have

the funniest phrases. we've nine diagnosed so far, most of them the kids

and abouts three more mentally retarded and emotionally disturbed that is sure

as day autism, it just wasn't diagnosed as that back then so at ripe old age

a correct diagnoses has been achieved. i've a great uncle as well whose

diagnosis is MR, and had he been born 60 years later he' de be autistic, but

whose

going to bother changing his diagnosis now, at this time, what point would

it make?

anyhow, three of our last kids aren't vaccinated at all, actually organic

whole food eating vegans, you know just in case vaccines have something to do

with it. alas no, just like the rest they are as autistic as the rest. why

we're here? well not for the healthy vibrant never hardly get sick autistics

but

for the rest of us who have other issues that some biomedical intervention,

diet changes and other remedies do help with. anti virals and biomeds have

helped us with other issues, regulate moods, make sensory issues more

tolerable,

helped with gastro issues, helped with autoimmune or just plain strengthened

the immune system, helped with some anxieties but alas never made a dent in

our autism. now the younger ones after we've gone completely holistic and

alternative, age two and a half, three and four, are completely non verbal, no

eye contact, in their own worlds, never been vaxed, not so much as tylenol

ever entered their bodies, healthy, hardly ever get sick, diagnosed as severe

to

moderate autism, classic kanners is refferede to describe them quite often.

main difference with the rest of us we're the ones often being rushed to

hospital for seizures, gastro issues, asthma, poor motor difficulties,

tourrette's all kinds of issues and they are very healthy autistics, healthy

maybe

more calmer, but still as autistic as the rest of us. not one has speech or

language unless barking is a language, not that they ever won't speak, i never

said a word until age nine so it's not a big deal. no one in our family ever

spoke before age five anyhow.

we've had autism go back to way back when great grandfathers were called

odd, and unmarried strange aunts and uncles were 'schizophrenic' or 'nervous'

since birth, mentally disturbed and so on, a new pregnancy will cause worries

because a new birth would raise the question " would the curse take this

child?' because you just never knew if a child would suffer the family curse. i

had

an uncle who had to travel to another town because he couldn't get anyone to

marry him, because they would worry about our family curse and nervous

silent children there's something to that as that would be my cousin Wanda who

died at the ripe young age of 15, autism with cerebral palsy, same family

another sister passed on at age 27, adhd, ocd, angry, moody, terribly shy

Betsy.

seizures are a bitch to navigate through.

any hows we visit here in hopes we can find something for other ailments we

don't bother to stop autism because in our family it would entail a complete

halt in reproduction.

sorry i couldn't be more positive. the best we ever did was make peace with

autism. it's just part of our lives, and we wouldn't know anything else.

we've never had 'normal' so that would be strange and foreign to us.

My kids were not vaccinated. They all had mild autism at birth (and

we did a home birth, so they did not receive any vaccinations at

birth). Other people in my family, from my grandfather to my mother

to my brother, as well as people in my husbands family, all have mild

autism and some have been diagnosed with mild autism. Not all of them

have been diagnosed, but I can tell they have it. I am having serious

doubts as to whether our problem is curable or if it might be

something genetic which cannot be cured.

, my sisters son was diagnosed with autism at two and my daughter

was diagnosed at 3. I rarely talk to my sister but have encouraged her

to look into biomedical treatment. My daughter has made huge gains with

addressing leaky gut, yeat, viruses and heavy metals. I hope some day

we will have a complete recovery. Alzheimers, bi-polar, chronic fatigue

and chemical sensitivities all run in my family. I know we have the

genetic component but I believe you can treat the body and dramatically

improve ones life. Many days my daughter does not even look like she

was ever diagnosed with PDD-NOS. The slow and painful work is slowly

paying off here. Melinda

My son has a genetic dx, classic Kanner's autism [from birth], severe,

low functioning. He is recovered now. He was a vaccine-injured kid.

> My kids were not vaccinated.

There are other causes [antimony, lead, viruses, etc], but it might be

more difficult to find out which is the cause for your child.

Everyone [even DAN doctors] told me my son was one of the

" non-curable " ones. I decided to not believe them, and he is now

recovered. I guess it is your decision, whether to try biomedical or

not. Enzymes can be helpful, even if some of your child's issues are

genetic. So there can be *improvement*, even if there are certain

genetic components [fragile X, Down Syndrome, etc].

Good luck.

It may not be " curable " but the symptoms can be greatly alleviated.

Honestly, I think the majority of autism cases that are termed

hereditary are not. It is easy to assume if a child had issues from

birth that he was " born with it " but what if there was an

environmental assult prior to birth? My mom was given medication

shortly before I was born that has mercury in it. Her health went

downhill ever since I have always had issues (was termed retarded in

1st grade). Now I know it is aspergers. My older sibling have no

issues. I believed the mercury in her body was physically passed on

to me and in turn passed on to my kids (after I added to the mix).

I believe I and my kids will always have issues but the symptoms of

autism are greatly reduced through supplements, enzymes and an

additive-free diet. The issues go from being obvious to a mild

irritation that can be ignored for the most part.

As for proven genetic autism cases, I have known kids with Fragile X

that have responded to diet just like any other autistic kids.

Sorry it's been so long since I posted... things have been a little nuts. We

took (4, ASD) to the emergency room last night for severe wheezing and

trouble breathing. They gave him a breathing treatment and some medicine and

sent him home. We did a follow up with the pediatrician today. She thinks that

was he has isn't asthma, but something that presents as similar, is based on an

viral infection, and can be outgrown over time. She really wants him to get a

flu shot this year, and is willing to reserve one of the very few thimerisol

free vaccines for him. I really thought I had more time to make a final

decision regarding more vaccines for him (he was fully vaccinated before his

diagnosis, but does't have anthing due until he's 5 now.. we put off the 4 year

old booster since they're optional until 5) Does anyone have any experience

with this viral-triggered wheezing? Any advice you can give me? Also, any good

resources for vaccine info in maryland would be greatly appreciated!

I'm so conflicted since is doing so well. His language has really

exploded, he is starting imagintive play, he's interacting and starting to show

empathy for his peers. I REALLY don't want to risk a regression! But, I don't

want to risk his health in other aspects either!

Thanks!

,

We have a 4.5 yr old grandson who has had no vaccines. He is the

healthiest of the 5 grandchildren [2different families]. His older

brother was a lead/mercury child and very much on sprectrum at age 2.

This brother is almost 7 now and recovered. Their mom had watched as

her younger sister went down the tubes. The final blow for her sister

was booster at age 6[only dt and polio in her day]. She also had had

her first mmr within a year or so of the booster. I don't perceive

that vaccines protect anybody from anything and would never feel

comfortable authorizing one again. imo, giving that booster or flu

shot is the riskiest thing you could do.

It is such an awesome resource for vaccine info.

You will hear it said many times on that forum, " You can't take it back, " so

research as much as possible, until you are truly comfortable in your

decision.

For my son, trying to eliminate viruses in his brain was MUCH more

difficult, frustrating, and time consuming than eliminating metals.

If he is having this sort of difficulty with viruses [wheezing etc],

why inject him with some?

To boost the immune system, I used vitamin C, colostrum, and

astralagus root. To eliminate viruses, I used vitamin C [has both

effects], Virastop enzyme, and olive leaf extract.

Now, if my kids get a cold, which isn't often, it lasts for maybe 4 hours.

My ex husband is aspergers and severe ADD, I am seriously mercury

poisoned on the spectrum, and my son is severely autistic. My

daughter is recovered from PDD-NOS with almost no autistic features

at this point, unless she eats a lot of sugar or dairy, or otherwise

has biomedical issues that need to be addressed.

She still sings to herself a lot at home, and talks a lot about her

schedule: what day of the week various holidays will be on next year

and the year after, whether someone's birthday is the actual day of

their party or another day that week, etc. - but she's functionally

about as social, verbal and imaginative as a person can get at 5

1/2. She recovered using the diet and enzymes.

As for me, no one actually believes I'm ASD, but I have a really

horrible life story to prove it. But currently, using enzymes and

off gluten, I think I'd probably be considered indistinguishable as

well. And it runs throughout my family of origin also, on both

sides, although no one is as severe as my fully vaccinated son,

where they're unable to work or communicate in some capacity.
