Autism and the Environment? With Dr. Gordon’s Commentary

The senate hearing is beginning to realize we have poisoned our planet and the toxins now in everyone are not causing just autism but they are contributing to every degenerative condition. Yes, the vaccines are bad, and YES we predispose us to the bad outcome by the nutrient deficiencies, including Omega 3 oil, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Iodine, the correct methylated form of folic acid and marginal levels of B12.

The attached picture of children born without limbs due to Thalidomide makes this statement very relevant. What we are seeing with childhood epidemic of obesity and diabetes, which clearly has some roots in BISPHENOL A and the resulting epigenetic changes with methylation issues etc. This leads me to send this statement to you now.

We know we are toxic and yet Big Pharma will continue to treat everything with another poison admitting tremendous “side effects” and ignoring the causes.

“We should also look back to the history of drug regulation.  It took the Thalidomide epidemic for us to take action.  Perhaps autism is the equivalent for environmental chemicals”

Please realize that, as Google’s “Ten Americans’ video” has proven, it is far more than just lead or mercury. Realize that vaccines are just another piece of the toxic soup our children are exposed to while getting dangerously depleted toxic foods that supply calories without nutrients.

I have explained the problem and provided answers in emails to you that work with my over 10 hours of webinars explaining my FIGHT program. Also now there are hours of recently recorded conference calls on topics from autism, aging, memory loss to Diabetes. I have provided useful answers that work; admittedly some are expensive and some are inconvenient, liking changing the diet and exercising,  but at least you do not need to be wandering around wondering why your patients are so sick and why our children cannot learn and why America is losing its world power status.

We are all in this together. We are in TOXIC AMERICA, watch CNN two one hour specials with Dr Sanjay Gupta on my website and start your detoxification today.

US Senate Hearing on Autism: It’s The Environment Not The Gene Pool

“We should also look back to the history of drug regulation.  It took the Thalidomide epidemic for us to take action.  Perhaps autism is the equivalent for environmental chemicals.” 

By Anne Dachel
We woke up to a different world on Tuesday, August 3, 2010.  With barely any notice, the autism community heard that the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Children’s Health would be holding a hearing entitled, “State of Research on Potential Environmental Health Factors with Autism and Related Neurodevelopment Disorders.”

As someone who follows autism in the news, this was a shock.  I’m used to stories like the recent series published on the Psychology Today blog by Dr. James Coplan.  He couldn’t make it any clearer.  Autism is something that has always been around–we’ve just expanded the definition and doctors are better at recognizing it.  The numbers haven’t increased.  

We’re all so used to hearing about the genetics of autism.  The explosion in autism is a mystery and no one seems in too big a hurry to solve it.  We’re told we just need more autism awareness and we’ve been conditioned to accept the reality of one percent of children being on the spectrum.  

So today was different.  Members of the U.S. Senate would be hearing about how the environment is linked to autism.
