Autism, ADD, ADHD and Aluminum Poisoning

Note: Dr. Mercola will be on Dr. Oz's show tomorrow, Tuesday...
Here's the link for the Trailer:

I  blended a bit of research and experience in a comment I left this morning on Dr. Mercola's Comment Section under his article on what to eat for good skin....

Please bear with the condensed attempt to tie fungus/Candida together with several health issues, as there is a space limit in comment sections. As I've read more about aluminum poisoning and realize the correlations with Candida, I am amazed and appalled at the complexity of choosing non-aluminum foods and personal care products, (staying away from beverages in tin cans), etc. Salts and baking powder and baking soda and the bakery foods and processed and restaurant foods with aluminum in them are so widespread, that not only do I want to grow and buy organic, staying away from hormones and antibiotics, but I now need to go one more level deep in awareness to avoid the many problems of aluminum poisoning.

Here's a link for you that will put you in another dimension of awareness. This writer had aluminum poisoning, and shares her story and others, how cheating works, what happened when an Alzheimer's patient stopped eating, drinking and taking his meds, etc. Absolutely fascinating and critical to know....

This will address Autism, ADD, ADHD, Candida, Aluminum Poisoning, Gluten problems, etc., if just briefly. Feedback welcome.

We are a gluten-based society, with wheat as a staple. When people get a Candida overgrowth, and it goes into the fungal stage, going through the intestinal wall, allowing bits of our diet...to enter the body and be treated like an allergen, we have problems. I am suspecting that if the Candida problem is not addressed, the new seeds and grains we use will end up in the same way, as allergens. Aluminum poisoning through vaccines and deodorants, etc. (breast cancer had a high incidence of the upper, outer margin near underarms) causes Candida to flourish. Heavy metals shelter Candida and make it harder to get rid of. Cilantro used with Chlorella to eliminate heavy metals may be helpful to detox. If you do a SEARCH on Youtube on Chemtrails, you'll hear about aluminum being dumped on us,-proven with testing-along with other toxic metals. Flouride is  a toxic byproduct of aluminum manufacture. I read where Prozac is 20% flouride, and the drugs being pushed on us have heavy metals. There is a correlation with psoriasis and heavy metals and parasites. If fungus flourishes with heavy metals, perhaps a detox is the answer. I've seen it work, but somehow the chemtrails and flouride dumping HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED. Did you know the FDA has NO safety guidelines on the amount of aluminum in vaccines our little ones are getting, especially important as they now get 17 vaccines in a short period of time, setting them up for autism, ADD and ADHD. Aluminum hijacks the iron carrier system, inhibits mercury excretion and crosses the blood brain barrier. Males are more vulnerable. PROTECT OUR CHILDREN...SPEAK OUT. There is no long term study testing safety of the number of vaccines pushed on our young. Drugs, steroids, antibiotics, sugar, meat and dairy, and stress all create acidic environments that fungus (Candida), cancer, virus, bacteria and parasites love. Dr. Mercola has a great list with sun, exercise (oxygen) etc. skin care products, etc. for health and balance.

Caution with the number of vaccines allowed, insistence on SAFE vaccines or NO vaccines, prevention with diet and exercise and nutritional food supplements, juicing, etc. is recommended.

ADHD: Hyperactivity findings.

Here is an article on ADHD by Dr. Stephen Chaney on the drug side effects, and the causes of Hyperactivity....


Each year between 3 and 10% of school aged children
hare diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD), also known as hyperactivity.

Most of these children are currently being treated with
drugs.

And these drugs have side effects - ranging from
relatively minor (loss of appetite, weight loss,
insomnia and mood swings) to major (suicidal thoughts,
psychotic behavior and drug abuse).

So it is only natural for parents to ask whether there
is a more natural approach that they could follow and,
more specifically, whether diet could make a
difference.

To answer that question lets start by looking at just
one aspects of children's diets - the increasing
prevalence of artificial food colors and preservatives
in the diet.

The average child today is consuming over 10 pounds of
food additives every year!

The idea that food additives - specifically artificial
colors and preservatives - might be responsible for
hyperactivity was first raised by Dr. Ben Feingold over
30 years ago. He devised the Feingold Diet - a diet
that was free of artificial food colors, preservatives
and other artificial food additives.

Some small scale clinical studies suggested that the
diet might be successful and millions of parents used
the diet for their hyperactive children with great
success.

But the medical authorities pooh-poohed the Feingold
Diet. They pointed out that when parents are putting
their child on a special diet they are also giving that
child more attention - and it might be the parent's
increased attention that decreased the child's
hyperactive behavior.

They also pointed out when you eliminate food additives
from the diet you are decreasing the "junk" food and
increasing fresh fruits and vegetables - in short the
child's diet is much healthier.

So eventually the Feingold Diet lost popularity - but
the idea that artificial food colors & preservatives
might trigger hyperactivity has refused to go away.

In fact, a couple of recent studies have substantially
strengthened the link between artificial ingredients
and hyperactivity.

The first study was a meta-analysis of 15 previous
studies looking at the effect of artificial food colors
and preservatives on hyperactivity (Journal of
Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, 25: 423-434,
2004).

This meta-analysis concluded that artificial food
colors & preservatives caused an increase in
hyperactivity in 28% of the children tested.

Almost all of the children in those previous studies
were selected for the study because they had been
diagnosed as hyperactive (ADHD).

However, a more recent study looked at 297 children
from Southampton England who had not been diagnosed as
hyperactive (Lancet, 370: 1560-1567, 2007).

After an 8 week elimination phase in which artificial
food colors and preservatives were removed from their
diets, they were given a one week challenge consisting
of fruit juice containing one of two different mixtures
of four artificial food colors and the preservative
sodium benzoate or a placebo.

The amount of artificial food colors and sodium
benzoate
in the fruit juice drinks was designed to match the
average amount found in the English diet (which isn't
all that different from the American diet).

Once again, the results were clear. The amount of
artificial food colors and preservatives found in the
typical child's diet is enough to trigger hyperactivity
in many children.

So what does that mean to you if you have a hyperactive
child?

Could the simple act of eliminating artificial colors,
flavors & preservatives from your child's diet
eliminate hyperactivity and give you back that calm,
sweet child that you love?

The available data suggest that removing artificial
food additives from your child's diet can make a
difference in their behavior, but I tend to side with
experts who suggest that a holistic approach is best.

Eliminating food additives from your child's diet is
important, but also make sure the diet is a healthy
one, that your child is getting all of the nutrients
that they need and that they are getting all of the
attention and support that they need.


To Your Health!
Dr. Stephen G Chaney
