Not that this should be news to anyone but over 80,000 chemicals are on the market today. Barely 200 of them have been studied for safety.  We have more illness, more autoimmune disease, more cancer and more AUTISM than ever reported in medical history!  We also allow these chemicals to permeate our lives daily thinking they are actually safe when in reality they have NEVER BEEN TESTED FOR SAFETY!  Isn’t it time that we prove something is safe for human exposure than wait to find out that it is toxic or dangerous to our children?? 

The Senate Subcommittee on Superfund, Toxics and Environmental Health concluded that we are merely "guinea pigs in an uncontrolled experiment."  Dr. Sanjay Gupta reported these findings and his professional and personal concerns as a father on a CNN special aired in June. 

Medical research in the field of autism substantiates that our children have mitochondrial dysfunction resulting from epigenetic factors - the very toxins that pregnant mothers and their children are exposed to every day of their lives.  We know that they show toxic levels of pesticides, lead, mercury and other environmental pollutants in their blood and urine samples.  We know that these same toxins are found in the blood of newborn babies.  We know that they are chemicals found in household cleaning products, shampoos, cosmetics, plastics, clothing, and bedding.  We know that continuous exposure to electronics; TV's Cell phones, microwaves, cell towers create electromagnetic radiation that can harm us and our kids.  All this coincides with the dramatic increase in Autism Spectrum Disorders in our country and most of the world!   

More kids are on medications for ADD and other neurodevelopment disorders.  IQ's are affected inversely to the level of toxic exposure in children.  We can no longer assume that our government is watching out for our safety.  HOW MUCH MORE INFORMATION DO WE NEED TO SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL??? 

That is why biomedical investigation as to the etiology of autism is so important since we actually look for evidence of toxicity in our patients.  Over 75% of autistic children (maybe higher) are poisoned and it’s about time we accept that fact and do something about it!

"Some people think we're shaped primarily by genes. Others believe that the environment we grow up in is most important.  But now evidence is mounting that a third factor is also critical: our uterine environment before we're even born."  He goes on to address issues of obesity, diabetes and mental illness and how they are related in part to what happens in utero. 

He speaks of pregnant women and their exposure to chemicals and toxins, pesticides, smoking, alcohol and drugs, which are prevalent in low-income populations.  I disagree!  It's not low-income pregnant women who suffer these toxic exposures it is ALL WOMEN. 

The field of environmental toxicology stresses that we should be more careful about exposing pregnant women.  How can we do this when there are over 80,000 known toxins including lead, nickel, cadmium, aluminum, PCB's, pesticides, dry cleaning fluids, bisphenols and dioxins that need regulation. These chemicals are widely used although they have NEVER BEEN TESTED FOR SAFETY!!

As he says, "the uterus is not a diving bell that insulates its occupant from the world's perils"  I agree with Mr. Kristof that it's now high time to take a closer look at unregulated chemicals that envelop us - and may be shaping our progeny for decades to come.

This is the basis for our work; trying to unravel the biomedical, immunological epidemic that we call AUTISM. 

It is essential for any child being evaluated by medical professionals to have a complete history including how conception occurred (naturally or with hormonal intervention), what mom was doing during the pregnancy, (where she worked, lived, did she have any illnesses, medications, dental work or vaccinations?), and ultimately what were the circumstances of her labor and delivery (was she induced, was the baby delivered with vacuum extraction, forceps?)

With this information we can determine some of the toxic insults that may have affected the baby and how this could potentially lead to the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders later on.

Young teenagers who use acetaminophen (Tylenol) even once a month develop asthma symptoms more than twice as often as those who never take it. This reported by the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) based on data from over 322,000 children age 13 and 14 from 50 countries.   Frequent users also had more eczema, eye and sinus problems - coincidence???

Acetaminophen interferes with glutathione production, the major detoxifying amino acid in our bodies - that is a fact as well.

This article describes an 11 year old girl with a chronic cough ultimately diagnosed as whooping cough or "pertussis".  The real question is that in California the cases have increased 7fold from last year in a population of children who are all vaccinated with DT aP vaccines. 

My question is when are we going to stop pushing more vaccines and ask the salient question - why are all these vaccinated kids getting the very illness for which they are vaccinated for??  Why are vaccines NOT working?? They even go so far as to blame the decreasing use of antibiotics!  Reason being that we may have treated undiagnosed cases of pertussis in the past and that is why the numbers of cases are on the rise. 

Does this make sense to you??  Or is the vaccine ineffective?  Or is the patient population so adversely affected by vaccines due to underlying immune complications?

A news analysis of U.S. health data links children's attention-deficit disorder with exposure to common pesticides used on fruits and vegetables.   

While the study couldn’t prove that pesticides used in agriculture contribute to childhood learning problems, experts said the research is persuasive.   

The concept is that children, being smaller humans than adults, may be absorbing higher levels of pesticides, which are measurable in the urine.  The concept of 'body burden' has been introduced once again in the ongoing argument that exposing our children to toxic compounds in the environment is actually harming their nervous and immune systems.  The kids with higher levels had increased chances of having ADHD and in fact, as we see in practice every day, Autism Spectrum Disorders of all types.  These toxins can be ingested through fruits, vegetables and foods, or by drinking or inhaling them from the air. This information can account for the inordinate increase in the ADHD diagnoses over the past 30 years.  It is also important to realize that studies have looked at pregnant women and the amount of toxic chemicals they excrete.  This clearly affects the fetus while in utero and may also account for the epidemic at hand.   

I have no doubt that we will begin to hear from the 'nay-sayers' who will come up with some reason to disbelieve what is so obvious to most of us.  However, the best we can do is to work to NOT pollute our food supply any more than necessary.  Be careful of eating organic foods thinking that they are all pure and free of toxins. I always think it important to find out what was in the ground or surrounding environment BEFORE the organic farmer moved in.  The toxins remain in the ground for many years and will still be absorbed by the new plants so do your due diligence and find out as much as possible.  Skeptics are criticizing organic foods.  Many of them are backed by agricultural concerns that stand to lose a lot of money if consumers stop buying their toxic products.  Changing labels, packaging and TV advertisements are not the answer to prevention.  They only serve to fool the public!! 

At least the EPA recognizes this study as reliable and well conducted.  "It's unpardonable to allow this exposure to continue," said Margaret Reeves, senior scientist with the Pesticide Action Network, an advocacy group working to end the use of many pesticides.
