    Environmental Insults leading to ASD

    First Insult: Vaccine and Mercury (Hg)

    1 day old   HepB#1                               = 12.5 mcg Hg (4 mcg/kg)
    2 mo old    HepB#2 + DTaP + HiB        = 62.5 mcg Hg (12.5 mcg/kg)
    6 mo old    HepB#3 + DTaP#3 + HiB    = 62.5 mcg Hg (12.5 mcg/kg)
                                                                ______________________________
                                                     Total:  = 187.5 mcg/kg in 1st 6 months of life
                                                                = 36.5 mcg/kg in 6 months of life
                                                                = 0.20 mcg/kg/day on any given day
                                                                   in the first 6 months of life

    Recommended EPA Limit = 0.1 mcg/kg/day

    Second Insult: Infection, Antibiotics, and Yeast
    Infection --> Antibiotics: kills good and bad bacteria --> imbalance in normal
    flora of the gut --> Overwhelming Yeast Infection
    Repeated infections --> worsening yeast infection leading to Inflammation,
    Maldigestion, and Malabsorption

    Third Insult: Casein and Glutein

    Disabled DPPIV enzyme --> casein (from animal milk) and gluten (from wheat
    and other grains) undigested --> bloodstream --> behave like opiates in the
    brain (false neuro-transmitters)
  • changes in perception, mood, and behavior
  • craving the foods they are addicted to
    Bind to cells --> confuse perception/response and inhibit immune response
    Urinary peptides (opiods) can be measured in the urine, and have been
    detected in the brain.

    Fourth Insult: Measles Vaccine

    At 12-15 months of age, first MMR vaccine

    Combination of measles and mumps virus (in MMR) promotes persistent
    measles infection in individuals with wounded immune system.

    Measles vaccine virus have been detected in the intestinal wall (Autistic
    Enterocolitis), intestinal lymph nodes and cerebrospinal fluid (Measles
    Encephalopathy).

    Measles vaccine virus induces production of antibodies against myelin basic
    protein and neuroaxillary filament protein (increased autoimmunity).
