    I could not even begin to guess why Austism is affecting boys at a much higher rate. (4x greater, 1 out of 94 births) There are so many theories....noone knows yet. Here is one of many possibilities... There must be something about boys that makes them more susceptible. Also if adults are exposed to the same triggers that cause Autism...

    Alison, No doubt....every Autistic kid should be gluten-free and casein free in my opinion. Most show improvement while on this diet....also a diet free of chemicals such as food dyes. The thing is...mercury inhibits enzymatic function. People with mercury toxicity will more than likely lose their ability to digest gluten and casein. This would not...

    My first thoughts are also that there may be some fungal issue involved.....most likely Candida (as already mentined). Two reasons...first the "refractory Sprue" diagnosis. Second...the craving for damp musky places. There is some research suggesting that those who do not heal on a gluten free diet may have Candida and the immune system is continuing...

    Mia, I'm sorry you're feeling confused....its gotta be frusterating for you. I know the feeling all too well...unfortunately. I hope you can get a more clear picture on Tuesday. If not.....I would be concerned that this Dr. might not be the right one for you?? You should feel more certain about your diagnosis, treatment and prognosis by...

    Oh...I missed the first 20 minutes so I'm not sure if it was explained...but what is Bill Cosby's involvement in all this?? I also didnt know that Toni Braxton had kids....let alone a child with Autism. I could not imagine how much strength that one woman must have....with all 3 of her kids born with Autism. I think one child would be very challenging...

    I think in general women are more affected by autoimmune disease than men. I never compared Celiac to Autism. Some of the kids with Autism do have Celiac but the majority do not...so I dont know that there is a connection. Theres alot we dont know about Autism so anything is possible. I've been following more closely the newest link between...

    No....they didnt discuss possible causes AT ALL. Which is one of the reasons I was totally infuriated by the whole thing. Yeah...the first thing I saw when I turned it on was that message stating that there is "No known cause". This is exactly what I'm talking about. I agree with you...they DO know some of the triggers but they arent taking more action...

    I would have to agree with this. The Aspartame in your diet coke is toxic. I would guarantee that you'd feel better (in alot of ways) if you did what this poster suggested and ditched the diet cokes. Yes...it could be damaging your brain...and no it isnt good for your intestines...or any other part of your body.

    I watched the show. I feel alot like that one lady...I think its DEPLORABLE and infuriating that this is not getting the national attention that it deserves. I cant even comprehend why our government isnt taking more aggressive steps to research and determine the triggers of Autism. CLEARLY....this is an epidemic....this is very serious stuff and I...

    OMG...thanks for posting this Alison! I ran into the other room and it was on as soon as I turned on the TV. I watch CNN alot. Its commercial right now...I'll be watching. If it started at 9...I guess I must have missed about 20 minutes?? Thanks again.

    EVIE!!! I was wondering where you'd been. I was hoping all is well with you. It sounds like you're doing good and not needing a pacemaker would be great!! I hope you get good news next week! Will be thinking about you. Yes....I am still doing my "scientific" thing. Guess what though....I got diagnosed and I'm getting treated. My doctors...

    Andrea....my number is the same. All the info. just gets transferred to my new phone. I never change numbers.....just phones. I love this new phone. The best part is it opens up and has a full alphabet on the inside....for texting. I hate texting because of having to push the numbers so many times to get the correct letter....its a pain......
  13. Rachel--24
    Donna, You definately have more patience then I do. I would seriously wanna punch that allergy lady by now! Laura, This sounds like a good idea. I need to not only record what I'm taking but also how much. I need to keep track of the doses since I have to keep increasing them. Even though I'm taking only about 8 things...its easy...

    OMG...that would be hilarious!! I totally gotta find a mask like that and bring it to work!! Theres a handful of customers that send me running from their perfumes. One lady in particular...she knows her gallons of super toxic perfume bothers me but she doesnt care....she'll come stand right next to me...then laugh and apologize as I'm covering...
  15. Rachel--24
    YEAH....there will be no STOPPING me!!! He's crazy....he messes with me every day. Tells me stuff to try and get me all upset and bent out of shape. I used to fall for it cuz he always does it with such a straight face. I'd be all freaking out...yelling and getting mad....then he would just burst out laughing. Now I dont fall for it anymore...
  16. Rachel--24
    Good news! I'm glad you are getting some relief....hope you continue to improve! Laura...I'm glad you had such a good time and didnt get sick!!! Hmmm.....lets see....out of all those people you listed.... I think I'm only familiar with Geraldo!! I think I've probably seen John Kerry's name on bumper stickers maybe?? Is Chris...

    Andrea...it looks good to me. Something like this should work for you guys. I'd research whats available and see which one seems to be the best as far as tolerance and results. Another one is called HMD. I've never looked into this one but Scott had tested me for it and recommended it after my first ART session with him. Anna chose NDF for me instead...
  18. Rachel--24
    Yeah...I was pretty much in the same boat (with nothing to keep me afloat ).....that was over a year ago. Thank God I've gained those 10 lbs. back!! Believe it or not I never even wore bras till I was in my 30's! I hated them...I wasnt too concerned that I wasnt really "needing" to wear bras. I was happy to not deal with them. Anyways...

    Thanks....it might have been a blessing....I've learned alot in the past few years as a result of this illness. I do use chlorella. The Dr.'s just started me on some stuff to help get toxins out, support my kidneys and liver, natural chelator, minerals, etc. It only been maybe 2 weeks since I got started. Later on I'll have to take stronger chemical...

    Wendy, I agree with what your practitioner is saying about the liver. This is what my Dr.'s tell me as well....that my livers ability to detoxify is impaired due to an over abundance of toxins. I never had Hepatitis or any kind of liver disease but I suddenly got too many toxins for my body to cope with...histamines became a problem...as well as...
  21. Rachel--24
    I think that GI sucks.....he obviously isnt very informed about Celiac. You might not have Celiac but I'm sure that you do have a reaction to gluten regardless. It might be helpful to get gene tested at some point. I dont have Celiac but I'm not able to eat gluten so it makes no difference to me at this point...I just stay on the diet as if I were...
  22. Rachel--24
    Holy Cow.....TV shows, movies, songs, characters, celebrities, etc. He's got an AMAZING ability to remember each and every detail of what he hears, reads and watches on TV. Usually he'll be telling me all about who's in what movie and quoting lines from movies or singing songs from commercials or TV shows. I've never been able to figure out what...
  23. Rachel--24
    I dunno about smarter...but definately more compassionate. There are kids working at my store who are on the autistic spectrum. Most are "high functioning".... the one who is probably the most Autistic is my favorite. I just have such a strong liking for this boy...I'm very protective of him. Other people are bothered by him because he tends...

    LMAO Rinne, You're not alone with the cheese lust! I LOVE cheese. Ever since I ate a block of swiss cheese last year I have not been tempted again. I still have "cheese lust" but the "cheese fear" is more powerful at this time.
  25. Rachel--24
    Andrea, The kids dont have any amalgams right?? They are not having any more exposure to mercury so should not get worse. Time will not make things worse for them. The videos were about mercury from amalgam fillings. NDF is expensive...$100 per ounce. I think since none of you are having high toxicity you could probably find cheaper ways to...
