From Autism to Alzheimer’s to Parkinson’s — You Can Reverse Brain Disease
You’ve probably seen several stories in the mainstream media lately about autism. The incidence of the disease is growing at an astronomical rate and it’s gaining a lot of attention.
I’ve said for years that autism is likely caused by childhood vaccinations. Now, even the Wall Street Journal has come out and said there could be a connection. The article even went so far as to say that some patients have seen tremendous results with chelation therapy.
I was stunned when I saw the article, but it was nothing compared to the results doctors are now seeing with many other alternative treatments. And what you may find especially surprising is that the underlying causes of the childhood autism epidemic are the same causes of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
And what if I also told you there’s an amazing treatment now available that can reverse autism and most adult brain diseases as well?
Would you believe me? I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t. After all, I didn’t believe it at first.
I heard about the connection when my wife and I went to Boston recently to attend an incredible seminar by Dr. Amy Yasko. She’s been treating autism for years with amazing results, including virtual remissions. In her new book The Puzzle of Autism, Dr. Yasko has offered a comprehensive theory for the explosion in autism we’re seeing today.
Autism has skyrocketed from one in thousands many years ago to one in 150 today. In fact, the California Department of Developmental Services reported a 273% increase in cases from 1987 to 1998. Dr. Yasko’s explanation for the epidemic is twofold: genetics and environment.
First, there’s the genetic factor. Dr. Yasko has found that 100% of autistic children have a defect in a biochemical process called methylation. Methylation is one of the most important processes in your body. It essentially is the way your body takes folic acid and uses it to help every cell in your body function and survive. Part of its job is to help cells repair and divide.
Methylation also helps protect your cells from toxins. But when the process doesn’t work properly, the cells’ ability to fight toxins is greatly hindered. So if toxins are kept to a minimum, most people with this defect will never experience any adverse effects. In fact, 20% of the population has this defect, but nowhere near that number have a related brain disease.
However, when the body is overloaded with toxins, that’s when the trouble starts for a person with the defect. His or her body simply cannot handle the overload the way it would if the defect weren’t present.
Since we’re seeing a major increase in the number of autism cases, there must be an increasingly active source of toxins coming from somewhere. But where?
Many thought it was coming from our food supply, especially considering the problems with processed food. If food were the cause, though, we would see autism worldwide. But it’s largely confined to industrialized nations.
It’s also likely that many of these children would be born with autism, but that’s not the case. Every case of autism comes on suddenly, either in infancy or early childhood. So there’s another source of toxin entering the child.
The only other known source of widespread toxin exposure for infants and young children is from vaccinations. Vaccines are filled with toxins. The very science behind vaccinations is to inject you with a toxin or pathogen so your body will build up antibodies against it. This can work for pathogens. But every dose of vaccine also includes other toxins. The most notable toxin included is mercury, which is one of the deadliest poisons known to man (especially to an immature brain). Drug companies add the mercury, in the form of thimerosol, as a preservative.
Most people’s immune systems can detoxify the thimerosol. But the defect compromises this ability. And the poison itself further destroys the function of remaining methylation pathways. The vicious cycle of brain, gut, and immune damage begins.
Integrated physicians have known for some time that mercury and heavy metals were the cause of most brain diseases. And chelation therapy was the best treatment we had to offer, but it simply didn’t work well enough to reverse the condition completely. Now, an ingenious friend of mine has figured out how to get mercury out of the brain.
My friend Rashid Buttar, MD saw his son quickly slip into a “developmental” disorder at about 16 months. It was equated to a “moderate” case of autism. Dr. Buttar was unaware that his ex- wife had taken the boy for vaccinations.
His son lost his 15-word vocabulary and degenerated into an autistic syndrome. Dr. Buttar is highly skilled in heavy metal poisoning. He tested his son for mercury and the first three were negative. This would lead most doctors to falsely believe mercury was not an issue. However, Dr. Buttar continued to pursue the mercury connection.
Through the process, he developed a novel system for delivering DMPS through the skin. (DMPS is the premier mercury-chelating agent — it’s far more effective at removing mercury than the more well-known chelator EDTA.) Called TD-DMPS (for transdermal), Dr. Buttar believes its effectiveness is related to the continuous low-dose absorption through the skin.
Using TD-DMPS, his son was regaining his speech within eight months. At 42 months he had a 500-word vocabulary. By age five, he had fully recovered and became the youngest person in history to testify before Congress (about autism!). I recently met Dr. Buttar’s son and he seems like a normal, intelligent little boy.
And this was no isolated incident. My good friend and neural- therapy mentor, Dietrich Klinghardt, MD has seen some amazing results using TD-DMPS. Dr. Klinghardt introduced the German- manufactured DMPS research into the integrative medical community in the United States some 15 years ago. His protocol for autism is simple. He first removes allergens and toxic foods (i.e., gluten, dairy, processed foods). Then he adds sublingual B12 and folate (to restore methylation), and RNA products by Dr. Yasko (to restore cellular metabolism). He also adds TD-DMPS to dump the mercury. He reports success in 100% of the children he’s treated with this protocol.
Dr. Klinghardt told me of German studies years ago tracking radioactively tagged DMPS injected just below the skin. Your skin is rich in nerves, which transport the DMPS backward into the spinal cord (central nervous system) and into the brain. Your nerves have proven to be a magnificent way to bypass the blood-brain barrier for removing toxic metals buried deep in the brain.
And the best part of this whole story is that the exact same mechanism may work to treat many degenerative diseases of the brain, including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. All are connected to heavy metals. It’s a well-known fact that mercury can cause any known neurological disease.
I told you a few months ago that adults getting the flu vaccine every year for five years had a substantially increased risk of getting Alzheimer’s. Now we know why. Alzheimer’s, in particular, is intimately related to mercury. A few atoms of mercury have been shown in the lab dish to turn a healthy neuron into a disordered tangle of fibers identical to the pathology of Alzheimer’s.
TD-DMPS is a powerful chelator, not only of mercury and lead, but also of nutritional metals like zinc, copper, and molybdenum. If you decide to try TD-DMPS, make sure you’re followed professionally and take a balanced mineral supplement to replete the good minerals.
Your integrative doctor can order TD-DMPS from College Pharmacy at 866-828-8203.
You should also avoid vaccinations! Virtually all are laced with metals, preservatives, or other poisons. It’s far easier to treat your flu than your dementia, or your child’s autism.
If you’re interested in treating autism, I highly recommend both the TD-DMPS lotion and also Dr. Yasko’s fantastic treatments. |
