What causes autism? Exploring the environmental contribution

No one can question Dr Landigan’s authority on this topic, as the head at Mt Sinai Medical Center in NYC. He has the lab in his facility that does the $4900 panel of toxins, the test NO ONE HAS EVER PASSED, and all kids average 6 times higher levels than their parents.
Please search Google for the video Ten Americans that will convince you to start every suggestion I have made now for years. Please DETOX NOW; use whatever you believe in and this involves your pregnant daughter. You will be facing the 25% chance that her child
will have a lifelong health problem when born unless you learn serious detoxification. BioEn’R-G’y C, Total Body Detox, ZeoGold, Beyond Fiber, EDTA baths, Beyond Chelation-Improved, the list is long that I use but the rewards are published and are all available in my PowerPoint presentations. References are available from Longevity Plus from my latest article on chelation and health.
The Archives Of Internal Medicine published that ALL CAUSES OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY are tied to how LOW your BLOOD LEAD LEVEL are throughout life and there is no safe level for lead mercury etc. This article points out that we finally will need to start measuring these toxins in patients, as otherwise everyone has a favorite whipping boy to attack, as the cause. Of course that is like saying that you can restore a 1930 Duisenberg with just new battery and new paint job.
There is no substitute for my FIGHT program. Every thing other than trauma must be multifactorial but based on the doctor’s experience and or beliefs, he calls everything Psychiatric or metabolic or neoplastic or genetic or a tooth must come out, or sell the house, or divorce the mate. Everything is MULTIFACTORIAL but no one wants multifactorial and clearly health insurance cannot handle it, as it is too hard to fight a war on several fronts. So we do not stress eating organically or exercising. We all need a magic potion.
This abstract may help change that paradigm; all standard diagnoses today for insurance purposes are too narrow and ignore all the obvious contributors to suboptimal health. No wonder we have an epidemic of poor health. I keep getting healthier by the day and my total program in on my website. Of course, no one will do all that I do but I suffered ill health long enough that I do not have time to visit it again.

Excerpt:
Purpose of review: Autism is a biologically based disorder of brain development. Genetic factors – mutations, deletions, and copy number variants – are clearly implicated in causation of autism. However, they account for only a small fraction of cases, and do not easily explain key clinical and epidemiological features. This suggests that early environmental exposures also contribute. This review explores this hypothesis.
Recent findings: Indirect evidence for an environmental contribution to autism comes from studies demonstrating the sensitivity of the developing brain to external exposures such as lead, ethyl alcohol and methyl mercury. But the most powerful proof-of-concept evidence derives from studies specifically linking autism to exposures in early pregnancy – thalidomide, misoprostol, and valproic acid; maternal rubella infection; and the organophosphate insecticide, chlorpyrifos. There is no credible evidence that vaccines cause autism.
