The Rising Tide of AutismBy Craig Stellpflug NDCHealing Pathways Medical ClinicTempe Marshall Newhouse Jersey , AZCopyright 2009 Craig Stellpflug. Permission is hereby granted to copy and distribute this article but only in its entiretyWhen I first entered the field of neuro developnt about 15 years ago the number of children with autism was about 1 out of every 650 children. Since then we have witnessed a drastically rising tide in the incidence of autism. Recently the Schafer Report and the CDC announced a staggering new figure; 1 out of every 91 children are now affected by autism. This is a 7 fold increase in a very few years.What is autism?Autism is a neuro developnt disorder. It is not a dical disorder that can be diagnosed with an X-ray or MRI and then treated with drugs or surgery. Though it was once considered to be a Psycho-social disorder it doesnt fall under psychological disorders either, and cannot be treated with psycho-therapy or psychotropic drugs. Autism is a condition where sothing has gone awry in the developntal order of the brain. I call it a disorder of the brain. Neuro developnt is about how the brain develops, what goes wrong with the brain and -most importantly- what do to correct the developnt of the brain. Keep in mind that every child is as unique and individual as a snowflake and there is no cookie cutter therapy for autism that works for every child. Even in normal child developnt there are as many different forms of normal as there are children. That is why autism is a spectrum disorder with features that range from mild to severe. In the typical onset of autism, the developntal milestones in the child have a regression. Language skills regress, the brain bees severely disorganized and processing skills drop. For most of the children with autism, sensory perception bees disoriented, inappropriate and often overwhelming. Neuro-chemically Marquis Flowers Jersey , opioid receptors in the brain bee tivated by exogenous opioids ing from the intestinal trt. The ninges of the skull bee contrted, putting pressure on the brain, spinal cord and srum causing toe walking, neurological regression and other aberrations in the child developnt. Because of regression in visual functions, the child with autism cannot see appropriately from the fine detail central vision of the eye and they develop hyper-peripheral vision. This peripheral vision aberration, when stimulated by spinning objects and hand flapping, generates endorphins in the brain. These over-stimulating endorphins only further the childs desire for more sensory play and developntally cause further delays and setbks in the developnt.Children with autism sotis have so amazingly developed skills. The child with autism often perseverates Margus Hunt Jersey , or bees fixated, on either a skill that they hone to an unusual height of perfection or they fixate upon particular subject knowledge such as trains or submarines or animals. The examples in the movie Rain Man (the card counting ability and toothpick counting incident) are very real and not exaggerated. These highly developed skills in so children with autism are tually intensified abilities of normal human developnt. For the child with autism they are coping chanisms from sensory overload and are often gained at the expense of and exclusion of social skills and other normal developnt abilities.Cortical spillageAs the brain and central nervous system (CNS) develop the body insulates the neuro pathways with layers of a fatty substance called myelin. Myelin is an insulating agent in the brain and CNS that keeps the neuro-chemical synapses in the nerve pathway and prevents the signals from orting out Myelin also helps aelerate the neuro chemical firing in the nerve pathways rehing speeds of around 195 mph!In the child with autism there is often a large amount of cortical spillage with a high incidence of Tourette Syndro. These two conditions are related because of either a myelin ortage andor injury to the myelin of the brain.In cortical spillage the nerves signals leak out from the pathway and energize other parts of the brain causing general problems with mobility and manual functions. For instance, a child with cortical spillage will not be able to move his hand without engaging other body parts like the feet and toes. Hypertivity in autism can be caused by the cortical spillage and in ft, hypertivity can be caused by a myelin deficiency in any childs brain. The more localized myelin problem in Tourette Syndro will cause a specific tic, body movent or noise like a grunt or a squeak.What is the cause of autism?Using data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a researcher from the University of California, Los Angeles Leon Hall Jersey , found that in 1999-2000, inorganic rcury was detected in the blood of 2 percent of won aged 18 to 49. This level has risen to 30 percent of won by 2005-2006.The debate rages over vaines as a cause of autism. Scientific data indicates that, Yes vaines can be a precipitating ftor in autism. But even before the vaines are administered to a child the child can be already predisposed for autism because of its mothers toxicity during fetal developnt. Fetal and chorionic blood samples taken before birth ow the developing fetus to be almost twice as toxic as the mother. The administration of toxic vaine adjuvants into the human body over the past four decades along with the ever growing toxic environnt we are exposed to has produced several generations of toxic mothers that pass the heavy tals on to the child. This is pounding the toxicity in the next generation and can explain why our rates of autism are still climbing even after rcury was reduced in child vaines. However, rcury has been recently added bk into the flu vaine in the amount of 25 mcg per dose. This exceeds the safe limits set by the EPA at 0.1 mcg per kilogram of weight. This toxic vaine is being rended wholesale for pregnant mothers and children. In other words a child (or
