Chelation and Autism;
Food sensitivity is another possible cause of autism. Where does it come from? Is it from the usage of mercury in infant and childhood vaccines? Only in the past few years was this practice discontinued. So, we've literally poisoned millions of children with good intent! Protecting them from dangerous childhood diseases has caused much worse problems. This is where the chelation and autism connection starts.

Food sensitivity is another possible cause of autism. Virtually every known mental problem may be caused by a normally harmless allergen - a simple food that has been "recognized" by that person's immune system as "dangerous".Chelation and Autism are not needed for this problem.

This seems to be caused by what is called "leaky gut syndrome". A major theory in this cause is that the malnutrition of the mother prior to birth and while feeding after birth opens the entrances from the gut into the portal vein too much in the attempt to obtain more needed vitamins and minerals and enzymes, etc.

The leaky gut opening allows larger particles through the gut walls. Instead of digested single amino acids, or simple combinations of a few amino acids, longer chains of amino acids are allowed through. These larger than "normal" collections of amino acids may then be recognized by the immune system as possible viruses, bacteria, or even parasites. This particular collection of amino acids is now a distinct allergen to that person, even though it is actually harmless, and may even be "good food".

Mercury and Toxicity

The first step is diagnosis of this problem. Is mineral toxicity involved? There are several different ways to diagnose mineral toxicity. In my opinion the best way is a mineral hair analysis.
Most MD's prefer a 24 hour urine collection. Actual blood tests, urine and saliva tests are not as reliable for mineral toxicity.

It seems that all toxic minerals are stopped from getting into the brain by the filtering and storage facility of the liver. A large amount of mercury getting to the brain would be very dangerous, so the liver stops it and stores it, and then gradually releases as small amount as possible back into the bloodstream so that it can be excreted.

Supposing that the hair analysis came back showing large amounts of mercury. What to do next? The answer is some form of chelation.

There are several drugs that do this for minerals.
In the blood stream, these drugs (EDTA and others) literally grab onto minerals, and allow them to exit the body through the kidney.
