Aleni Prokopius speaks out on vaccines and a cure for autism in NaturalNews interview

Spending thousands of dollars on lab tests, Aleni Prokopius discovered that her newborn son was contaminated with trace amounts of heavy metals including mercury, which is used in the vaccine preservative Thimerosal.

In this interview with Aleni Prokopius, you'll learn how vaccine injections can expose some children to one hundred times the methyl mercury of other children, depending on how the medical practitioner prepares and administers the vaccines.

Aleni also explains how she worked to try to reverse autism and restore normal neurological function to her son through chelation and dietary changes. There's a protocol for natural health restoration that's widely circulated in the community of parents who deal with autistic children. What worked for Aleni was a combination of detoxification and health restoration based on an organic, natural lifestyle.

At age four, Aleni's son had a total vocabulary of only twenty words and was considerably impaired, but after the detox and dietary changes explained by Aleni, he experienced a full recovery -- a "cure" for autism. Today, many years later, Aleni's son is six years old. He excels in school and martial arts and is no longer identified as being "autistic." By any honest assessment, he has fully recovered from autism.

did her child have demonstrated high levels of Mercury?

Vaccines used to have Thimiserol, but they mostly don’t anymore.

But that is Ethyl Mercury, not Methyl Mercury. Methyl Mercury is naturally occuring and organic in nature.

I have family members with symptoms of Asperger’s. And am convinced Dr.’s truly do not know what causes it, but that it is hereditary.

I am convinced it is a failure in the autoimmune system, and that the doctors have confused the issue by lumping patients with a wide range of similar symptoms in the same label. “Treatment” for one does not work for another. Suggesting a failure in a looped system (ie. gut to brain messenger system) which does not always happen at the same point.

I am not a medical professional, but have some direct knowledge of the subject.

Methyl Mercury
People usually become exposed to methyl mercury by eating contaminated fish, and methyl mercury can accumulate in the body when contaminated fish are consumed regularly over time. Exposure to high levels of methyl mercury is toxic and can cause mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and seizures in children exposed to methyl mercury before birth. Methyl mercury is passed from the mother to the fetus before birth and to infants through breast milk. The developing brain (before birth) is the most sensitive to damage by methyl mercury.

Ethyl Mercury
Prior to the removal of thimerosal from childhood recommended vaccines, infants were exposed to ethyl mercury by intramuscular injection during vaccination, not by ingestion. Furthermore, infants received thimerosal from childhood vaccines that were administered days or months apart. In contrast, methyl mercury exposure, primarily from foods, tends to occur over a longer sustained period of time.

Newborns with elevated levels of heavy metals in their bodies probably receive those levels from their mothers.

There have been warngings for about ten years now, that eating certain kinds of fish can cause those levels to rise dangerously.

I’ve known families with infants demonstrating autistic symptoms, who have put their baby on a chelation program and later developed into normal children. Chelation appears to be a viable treatment for autism but as to vaccinations being the cause, I don’t think so. The statistical correlations aren’t there to back up such assertions.

Numerous studies have been done on whether vaccinations cause autism in children. Blaming it on vaccines appears to be false.

At the same time, the levels of heavy metals in our atmosphere is rising due to the increasing industrialisation of India and China. Burning coal to generate electriciy produces massive amounts of airborne mercury. This heavy metal settles on the oceans where it enters the lowest level of the food chain. Mercury also settles over land where it can enter the food chain via browsing, grazing mammals.

What we eat, I believe can have cumulative affects on the human body. Amounts of heavy metals that will not produce a visible affect on the adult human body would disasterously affect newborns. Since autism seems to run in families, with multiple children in a family being affected, perhaps contamination of the food chain is the culprit.

A solution may be to have women of childbearing age undergo chelation prior to prenancy, and then follow a strict diet regimen excluding some foods known to have high levels of heavy metals.

Constantly blaming childhood vaccinations when there is no statistical correlation is delaying a workable solution IMHO.

>>I have family members with symptoms of Asperger’s. And am convinced Dr.’s truly do not know what causes it, but that it is hereditary.<<

I agree with you. A parent who was not told how to act has no clue how to tell his/her child how to act. It’s being called “Autism Spectrum” or Asperger’s.

Get the kids off the meds then give the parents some ideas of how to teach their kids how to act and you have about half of the patients with those diagnosis, cured.

[Texas Fossil]

For 3 generations? I do not think so, this is a physical problem.

I have issues with the meds, but that is not the cause.

Trust me.

I doubt you have been directly involved, and this is not a Child, but an adult.

[netmilsmom]

I worked Psych. There are actual cases of both disorders.
However, many diagnosed can be changed totally with behavior modification.

It’s over diagnosed and used as an excuse by many parents as to why his/her child does not behave.

[Texas Fossil]

“It’s over diagnosed” (I agree recently)

And mis-diagnosed

And un-diagnosed

They simply do not understand this stuff.

In my family’s cases, they are all Male, are all different from birth, but problems really appear approaching adulthood.

No clear diagnosis, but symptoms.

I have been fighting this battle for past 17 years.

Have read dozens of books looking for a clue, but am 100% certain it is a physical problem, not behavioral. (although I am convinced that the two are not totally isolated)
