Autism spectrum disorder has no single known cause. Given the complexity of the disorder, and the fact that symptoms and severity vary, there are probably many causes. Both genetics and environment may play a role.
Genetics. Several different genes appear to be involved in autism spectrum disorder. For some children, autism spectrum disorder can be associated with a genetic disorder, such as Rett syndrome or fragile X syndrome. For other children, genetic changes (mutations) may increase the risk of autism spectrum disorder. Still other genes may affect brain development or the way that brain cells communicate, or they may determine the severity of symptoms. Some genetic mutations seem to be inherited, while others occur spontaneously. Environmental factors. Researchers are currently exploring whether factors such as viral infections, medications or complications during pregnancy, or air pollutants play a role in triggering autism spectrum disorder.

I have found that most people who fall for pseudoscience and conspiracies cannot tolerate when I present actual science to them. They insult me because of it, but I'm not going to stop. I present the facts in as impersonal a manner as I can--this is how we learn to communicate when we become scientists. Not that you would know anything about that; you'd have to actually study scientific subjects in university to learn that method of communication.
And you have issues.
The lack of evidence of *any* causal link between vaccines and autism is not, in fact, evidence of a cover-up. There really and truly is no link. Millions of dollars have been wasted trying to find one; this money would have been better spent researching the real causes of autism.
The source of cow fetuses is from pregnant cows that are slaughtered for food use, and possibly from cows slaughtered for rendering. It is standard practice to test for the presence of prions, as well as several other pathogens. Fetal calf serum used for cell growth comes with certificates and there are rigorous standards for its production. This is a link to an organization that works to ensure serum quality. Also, FYI, several committees have met to discuss issues related to the ethics of collecting fetal calf serum--yes, they do recognize that fetal calves can experience pain. The horribly irony here is that there is often concern over humane euthanization of fetal animals, which never seems to carry over to the discussion of murder of fetal humans.
Same for dogs...rabies.
The dog cells, MDCK, have been used for decades. They do not contain the rabies virus.
“Al in adjuvants is trivial compared to Al in cans, cookware, food, most anything made of metal today.”
But that goes into the gut, not the blood stream. In the gut it’s subject to additional oxidation by stomach acid. In the gut it also has a much lower absorption rate. Aluminum cans are mostly coated now and cookware is anodized or bonded.
Alzheimer’s research has shown a close link between metal deposits in the brain causing elevated Amyloid beta proteins, brain inflammation and Alzheimer’s.
One could say vaccinations induce Alzheimer’s in infants. Some get it, others don’t. It all comes down to case by case pathophysiology of the metals in the vaccine.
It’s the medical profession’s Faustian deal. And they know it. Yet they continue to follow an antiquated and ridiculous dogma. The rate of ASD far surpasses the combined rates of the diseases the vaccinations are intended to protect against. And most of those diseases are treatable and have far lesser impacts than ASD.
Why? Well a few reasons...
1) its being diagnosed and looked for. 40 years ago a kid with high to mid functioning autism would just be labeled odd, or developmentally delayed or both.
2) There is no doubt in my mind that Autism is a combination of biology and environment. Somewhere during the last 100 or so years, while we were creating and releasing all sorts of man made chemicals into the environment that had never before been seen, without a damned clue what their possible impacts could be, one, or a family of them, has gotten themselves into the bloodstream of women, (as well as men), exposure to these chemicals in a developing fetus with the right genetic disposition results in Autism. No studies have proven this yet, but the general distribution of Autism clusters highly supports it... Rates higher in California for example that Minnesota etc.
I have ZERO doubt, when all is said and done, we will find that exposure to certain chemicals, during crucial brain development stages, by individuals with certain generic characteristics results in the bulk of Autism Spectrum Disorders.
The only other cause, that I can think of is a yet unknown viral infection, that is relatively benign to the host, but hostile to brain development of a fetus.
All those things...
....but all the things brought out about the dangers of some vaccines you ignore and take the word of the drug manufacturers. There’s a lot of money grubbing despicable people out there. Be careful who you put your trust in.
Perhaps what you call professional dogma is simply common sense. I’ve read of the link between Al and Alzheimers. The quantities you speak of are ug or less in vaccines versus daily exposure to mg quantities in the diet and sources in cookware, cans, and food. Some fraction of the dietary exposure is absorbed into the bloodstream on a daily basis—this is how nutrients keep us alive, they get absorbed into the bloodstream. So, we are looking at a thousand fold difference in exposure from a few vaccines versus daily exposure in food ,etc.
Oh, and Alzheimers and autism, in fact most diseases, have strong genetic links. They run in families and people with autistic children are told repeatedly, stop having kids. Kids that have never had a single vaccination are subject to autism too.
Have you considered the constant exposure to electronic gadgets? Cell phones being one of the worst. And as far as exposure to toxicants, nothing even comes close to what is in the air in large urban areas exist. The mass migration to cities over the last century is strongly associated with too many diseases to list, autism being one of them.
To review: Genetics. Several different genes appear to be involved in autism spectrum disorder. For some children, autism spectrum disorder can be associated with a genetic disorder, such as Rett syndrome or fragile X syndrome. For other children, genetic changes (mutations) may increase the risk of autism spectrum disorder. Still other genes may affect brain development or the way that brain cells communicate, or they may determine the severity of symptoms.

I’m sorry for your misfortune, I really am, but everybody suffers misfortune and sometimes it is not other people’s fault. This is just one example that occurred in my family and I know we are not unique: My sister at a year and half, fell in her crib with a blind cord around her neck and strangled to death. Nobody I know attempted to blame another person, the company that made the product, or some unknown force. My father never quite recovered from that and once in 50 years did he ever mention it.
I lost my sister at her age 8. Leukemia. In 1960 it was thought to be from strontium 90 in the milk from above ground nuclear testing. My father’s eyes would well up with tears whenever he saw a similar looking little girl till the day he died 46 years later. Didn’t blame the government. They were doing what had to be done to win the Cold War.
Can blame a private corporation who don’t think it’s ok to make certain there product won’t hurt the small percentage (and not that small) who they push their product on.
It is science... It’s not difficult to explain the neuroscience behind how it works, or to fit it into the current model of evidence based medicine. It’s also interesting how consciousness functions in the same manner as quantum physics and particle physics.
It is more science than psychology and more science than most of psychiatry.
I’m in an academic setting and do not like all the pseudo science that is happening. That’s why I have dedicated my focus to gaining a scientific understanding of the process.
You asked, “So, do you talk about it to the patient? And then he or she falls back or forward? How does that work?”
I prefer to work with total strangers so my mind does not interfere by creating expectations of what I am going to discover when working with a person. I don’t even want to know their name. No pre-interview. No communication at all prior to working with a person.
What I can do is not important. What’s been discovered by doing it is important as it explains the gaps between psychology, medicine and religion. It brings all of them together in one easily understandable body of knowledge.
The demonstrations that knock people over from a distance are for one purpose only, i.e. to show that the soul exists in the physical and to show how and where memories are stored, processed and retrieved. The rest is just details to provide further understanding. It also shows why people have gender identity issues and what causes the chemistry of attraction in relationships.
For example, if I take hold of a memory where a person is angry at someone and pull the memory away from the person, they move forward as though I’m pulling on a rope tied to the person.(Yes, even though their eyes are closed and I’m standing many feet from them.) If I then ask them “Would you like to forgive this person?” As they say “I forgive .......” their physical body snaps backward as though the rope just broke as they let go of their anger attachment to the person who they felt wronged them.
In other words, I demonstrate why Jesus taught what He did.
There is another demonstration where I select a person and have them imagine an object between us, while I’m facing away from them so as to not see their eyes. When they say they have the object visualized and know the exact location, I ask them to turn away from me so I can’t see their eyes. (Often I will tell them where they first visualized the object, where they moved it, and where they finally left it.) this is somewhat difficult in front of groups as I must sort the subject’s thought frequencies from all the observer’s thoughts who are often trying to visualize imaginary objects to fool me.
I merely hold out my hand and walk toward them, stopping when my hand hits their imagined object. Thoughts manifest physically, just not as physical as most objects we perceive. This is why Jesus warned us to watch out thoughts as if we thought about it we were just as guilty as if we had done it.
The next demonstration shows the power of prayer and how it changes a person’s perception of reality. That’s how I perceive consciousness as physical, i.e. by prayer and meditation to raise my own consciousness to a level where thoughts at a lower level of consciousness are perceived as physical.
If people want to understand the neuroscience, whether it be the interface between the soul and the dermatones with their associated afferent neurons in the physical body or the process of changing the action potential firing rates of the cerebral cortex neurons in the brain to the gamma frequencies. The demonstrations explain how placebos work, and why they often don’t work. It explains why “Mindfulness Meditation” is an excellent tool. What causes phobias, PTSD, predisposition to cancer, MS, and other autoimmune disorders. (And why religion is critically important)
My comments on autism are for the most part, what I have discovered while working with autistic or Aspergers individuals. Most people think backwards and think that the physical body creates consciousness. In actuality, consciousness creates the physical body. While there is a feedback process where consciousness learns and grows from the physical body’s experiences, consciousness does not need the physical body to survive. However, the physical body dies when consciousness detaches from it.
I think my mother watched the Wizard of Oz while she was 3 months pregnant with me. No wonder I’m terrified of tornadoes and flying monkeys and Hillary Clinton. Quick! I need those memories to be released from my soul by some guy wearing a Winnie the Pooh outfit while he offers to do my taxes : - ),
You may have missed the part where I explained that she is 9 years old now and perfectly fine.
Your explanation is not clarifying the science of it for me, but thank you for taking the time to reply.
Because, as I stated in post 201, "There are reams we don't know about women's reproductive health." And, of course, about autism and how maternal health/fetal development are involved in the incidence of autism, if at all.
And you may have missed that my post refers to that same now-protected child when she starts going out into the world, especially the world of work, which will be some years from now. That is why her coping skills need to be developed now, not after she experiences intense frustration and rage when she gets out there and discovers how disorderly and challenging society can be for the differently abled. I speak from family experience here. Our family denied the impact of ASD on two individuals, who then struggled greatly as adults after leaving the protection of home and parents who had understandably catered to their uniqueness in a way the world outside cannot be expected to.
There is not a drug, a natural remedy of any sort, that does not have adverse effects on some portion of the population. Nothing is ever going to be 100% safe, ever. This is life.
Yes, when she was a toddler, she liked order and some quiet time alone and being she had 2 triplet sisters and an “older” sister who is only 11 months older, I understood why she liked to get away from the chaos. I lived in their household for a while, and it was crazy at times. 4 little girls, all toddlers, and even with a devoted stay at home mom, it often looked a lot like herding cats.
And Lili copes just fine, she’s not “differently abled”. She’s not quite the scholar her honor student sisters are, but she does quite fine in school and at church and gets along very well with other kids – no rage or intense frustration.
Of her sisters, one, the oldest is the super honor student, and I mean super smart, at 10 years old she is reading on a HS level or above and loves reading and studying US history (ever since she was about 4 years old, she’s told everyone she wants to be POTUS one day), one of the triplets is more of the socializer and at bit of a comedian, always hamming it up including her canny ability to mimic accents, especially Brit (she’s a bit of a Anglophile) but she’s also a budding athlete, the other sister is quite sensitive and sometimes more prone than any of them to melting down sometimes, but shows some real artistic talent. Lili is a lot like her dad, more so than any of her sisters or her half-brother. She loves putting together some rather complex Lego models with her dad and even some more advanced robotic kits. She also loves animals and science and says she’d like to become a veterinarian. She’s going to be just fine. That’s not denial, that’s just accepting her for who she is.
Right something not being 100% safe equates to not needing a vaccine at all and doing nothing is obviously not 100% safe either.
My kids when they entered college were told that they needed certain vaccines. These were probably flu vaccines as they told those who required them to take the vaccines that they would not. That they were their father’s children and as I got Guillain Barre they didn’t think it was wise for them to chance it. They miraculously no longer required to take those vaccines. AMAZING.
Looks like we’re not going to agree on this. My iPhone thumb is acting up so I’m going to end it. Nice chatting.
Sounds like a great bunch of kids. Impossible for me online to see what you see; just reflecting on the denial we experienced in our situation. I was tripped up by your wording, “perfectly fine.” Call me crazy, but none of us ever is. Apparently, you weren’t being literal about it.
Best of luck to you and family, and blessings of the season.
