101 Things I Wish I Had Known And Understood

AY.org presents... Dana Gorman, M.S. founder

AY.org presents... What I wish I had known & understood about

A.U.T.I.S.M. when I started my journey over 6

This presentation has been made possible by my son’s journey with A.U.T.I.S.M. His name is Kellen & his nickname is “Gecko”!

First...

We DO know what causes

A.U.T.I.S.M.!! ! Summit #2: Bierman, Carlo, Cowden, Derksen, Duncan, Gorman, Klinghardt, Steenblock, Usman+++

Second...

People with A.U.T.I.S.M. begin to THRIVE every day Step by Step

Thriiive.com I am saying people vs. children because there is

NO age limit

for the damage from eurotoxicity to be reversed.

I am saying THRIVE vs. Recover because our children will

remain “Neuro-diverse” after neurotoxin induced illhealth is resolved....

& thank GOD for tha

I am celebrating my son’s perfection...recognizing his neurotoxicity is keeping him from Thriving!

The goals of “Recovery” & “Cure” challenge his

Third...

Understanding & Healing

go

Hand in Hand!!!

Unders ta ndinstarts g... with the   

TRUE definition of

A.U.T.I.S.M

This definition begins with knowing our children with

A.U.T.I.S.M. are in a state TOXIC

which results in “Encephalopathy” or Chronic Brain

N.I.C.E. (Neurotoxin Induced Chronic Encephalopathy) or

Autism: A Neurological

Disorder?

Are we really simply

labeling a cluster of symptoms Autism & assuming it is a neurological disorder in it’s origin when more likely than not the dysfunction originates with toxin/microbe overload?

NEUROTOXINS

NEUROTOXINS contribute to a high

TOTAL BODY BURDEN

TOTAL BODY BURDEN

When contributors are tracked they correspond directly with the AUTISM

TOTAL BODY BURDEN

Father’s Pre-Conception Profession & Health (esp. computer, construction & dentistry)

Mother’s Pre-Conception Profession & Health (esp. medical careers & dentistry)

Parents, Family & Child’s Energetic Burden (stress & more)

Parent & Pregnancy conditions re: stress, EMF, nutrition, exercise, including labor & delivery conditions

Fish consumption: cumulative esp. pregnancy & child. The larger the fish the higher mercury - Tuna esp. high!

Dental Situation: metal fillings, dental work esp. during pregnancy, also focal lesions (root canals & tonsils)

Exposure to Construction &/or MOLD with the combination being the worst!

Genetics Profile of parents resulting in level of toxic burden at conception & child’s capacity to detoxify incoming toxic burden.

Breast feeding is the best option but transfers toxic burden to child (this can be bound w/ chlorella)

Vaccines & Antibiotics esp. # of doses relative to weight of child This is also true for the mother pre & post pregnancy

Child’s habits regarding: food, sleep, exercise, stress, EMF, activities, etc.

Pregnancy & Child exposure to EMF, Cell Signals & Broadband Over Power Lines (not common yet)

But what is making OTAL BODY BURDEN high that it creates inflammati brain & sets the stage for

new insults & toxin re-circulation require the MASK

Most of our children deal with daily exposures that force them to wear their mask...

exposures can include: EMF

SMOG Exposur STRESS & Negativity & Smells e

SCHOOL & ABA White/Flouresc ent Light

FOOD/Exc itotoxins Stimulus from any source

TV & Video

ct most of our kids off the day without the mask only to adopt it wh their daily burden eclipses their detox capacity.

A.U.T.I.S.M.

EMF (Electro-Magnetic Fields) is disturbing the sleeping environment... The simplist semi-solution is to sleep 3 feet from electrical sources!

has three very U.T.I.S.M.

specific visible characteristics:

1.) Neurological deficits from chronic insult 2.) Characteristic habits from daily toxin exposure & recirculation 3.) “Seeking” behaviors designed to CREATE this state

Neurological deficits from chronic insult can be the last deficiencies Diminished I.Q. to rebound & may include: Lack of Speech Ch ron Ch ron ic I ic I nsu nfl a m l t= ma tio n

Lack of Coordination

Lack of Reactions:

sneezing, tanning, coughing, yawning, startling, sniffing, laughing, crying, fever,

Characteristic habits from daily toxin exposure & re-circulation

can look like this...

Homeostasis is what we all crave!

“Seeking” behaviors designed to CREATE this state are harder to spot, but can look like this if he were trying to get “high” off the smells/toxins in bed

LymeInducedAutism.co m

Inflammation...the grandaddy of keeping other treatments from being successful!!! ...& most of it is coming from Stress & Stimulation!

NOT ENOUGH of something or TOO MUCH of something in our kid’s bodies. Let’s just give some examples:

Item:

Too Little:

Too Much:

Amino Acids

Glutathione, GABA, Taurine, Metalthionine

“Dietomorpins” or opiodes from food, Glutamate

Minerals/Metals

Pyroluria (Zinc & B6) Schizophrenia - Lithium Magnesium, Selenium

Hemochromatosis: Iron Copper, Mercury, etc.

Sugars/Carbs

“Sugars That Heal”: Glucosamine, Aloe, Beta-Glucan, Xylitol, Inulin

Enzymes

Dietary Enzymes, Enzymes that break up cellular tissue, Enzymes that stimulate metal binding, PST

High Glycemic Index Foods: Sugar, HFCS (fructose), Aspartame

This initiates decay of food Mold-derived digestive enzymes

Pretty much any vitamin tested in the body of a child with Autism will be deficient in a percentage that is higher than in typical people

ALL food & nutrients/vitamins that your body does not successfully metabolize has to be detox

Microbe (Bugs)

Acidopholis, Bifidus ...these are the two most common of a long list of beneficial bacteria. There are also beneficial funguses & viruses!!!

Strep, Staph, Measles, Lyme, E-Coli, Tetanus, Mumps, Diptheria - Active infections of almost all the vaccines are routinely found in body parts of our kids (gut, brain, tonsils, teeth,etc.

Fats & Fatty Acids

Essential Fatty Acids, DHA, Omega 3,6 & 9 balance

Partially Hydrogenated Oils, Fat in food w/o ability to digest

Vitamins & Nutrients

oftentimes used by the body as PROTECTION! FAT, Cholesterol, Pathogens, Tumors

Now it is time to fly through some “Take-

diagnostics available to parents is what comes out of our children. POOP should SINK! If it doesn’t than your child is not digesting fats well enough. clear enough toorsee through (if

From a Neuro-Sensor perspective... SCHOOL is one of the WORST environments!!!

Every data point that requires processing up-regulates neurological

Our children lear with neurologica efficiency when they have SINGLE FOCUS! Everything they sense - hear, see, smell, feel away from this focus,

Neurological Efficiency is optimized when FOCUS is rotated amongst the senses.

For healing to occur, your child must have a normal (98.6 or higher) resting body You can do the Barne’s Temp Test, or temperature.

you can simply take temps before lunch & dinner.

1/6/7

Step 1: Buy a bottle: $2

Hypothyroid & Iodine Test Step 3: Every few hours check for it to be gone. The sooner within 24 hours it disappears, the more severely IODINE deficient you/your child is. Keep applying until it “sticks” for 24 hours. Iodine Deficiency by default = HYPOthyroidism!

Step 2: Apply a dab to skin & let air dry

Warning: this IODINE is TOXIC if swallowed or taken internally! DO NOT TAKE by MOUTH & KEEP out of REACH of CHILDREN!!! This is what Dr Derksen put me on...seemed effective! This is a link to someone selling it

Watch Lithium levels! Anju

This was what it looked like after only an hour!!!

It will be gone w/in 4 hours...oops! I haven’t been taking the Thyroid Complex to left!

Ubiquitous MERCURY exposure accompanied by chronic MOLD results in exponential accumulation of BOTH. This results in an overburdened immune & neurological system & opportunistic microbes thriving & setting up habitats...

I think of the mercury sortof frying a little path & creating dead microbes only to be surrounded & covered by the “winners” of the microbial race to be the “king of the hill” of the heap of microbial/toxic debris.

HYPOTHYROID (potentially more than 80%-Willis & Jim) Link to original paper on Core Issues

It has been estimated that up to 80% of autistics are HYPOthyroid (Willis Langford).You can not depend on the lab tests. You will miss many kids with  this. Thyroid function is enormously important to re-build the immune systems of these kids. Without addressing this “underlying” issue it can  undermine “comprehensive” efforts to hit the “tipping point” that returns them to normal immune/brain function. There is an inverse relationship between TSH levels & thyroid function. The more TSH you have the more HYPOthyroid you are. Anything over 3 is  considered by most recent studies to be a potential indicator of lowered thyroid hormone production (HYPOthyroid)   THINGS THAT REDUCE THYROID FUNCTION (exacerbating HYPOthyroid): 1.) Fluoride (avoid it in all toothpaste & water (check water bottler -not required on label) 2.) Mercury (until chelation challenge proves otherwise assume problem for autistic) 3.) Copper (until lab results indicate otherwise assume high in autistic) 4.) Residue from plastics (h20 bottles) (Pica-putting plastic things in mouth) 5.) It is suspected that other environmental toxins contribute.   ***Take a moment & think about this…Most if not all of these kids have the above listed issues, therefore probably Hypothyroidism. My son is  Hypothyroid despite having a constantly warm body…including his night time/early morning hands & feet. However, he did not pass the Iodine test. So  my basic message is since none of the supplemental interventions for thyroid function seem to be contra-indicated you can probably just treat your child  for Hypothyroidism & move on! NUTRIENTS REQUIRED FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE THYROID: B2 in a multiB B6, B6, B6, B6…(40lb child 50 mg/3 x’s day -Willis) B 12 see info on Folic Acid B12 Protocol on Day Protocol Vitamins A (in it’s natural form: Cod Liver Oil) (w/ Arachadonic Acid) Vitamins C & E Bovine or pig derived thyroid glandular (all natural) @ any health food store Glutathione Iodine Magnesium Selenium Tyrosine Avoid Long Chain Fatty Acids (Canola, Safflower) can’t break these down BARNES BASAL TEMPERATURE TEST: Before you go to bed set up a thermometer you can use without getting out of bed or exerting effort (if you haven’t gotten rid of your mercury  containing ones and plan to use it shake it down before you lay down, if other kind use per directions) When you first wake up take your underarm temperature for 10 minutes. Repeat for 3 days. If your body temperature is between 97.8 & 98.2 or HIGHER your thyroid function is probably normal…if it is lower you/your child are probably  HYPOthyroid.  

YOUR GUT IS FULL OF BUGS!!! Lots & Lots of creepy, crawling BUGS!!! The key is providing the environment for the “Good Guys”!

Spectrum” our children are is dependent on many factors...

Movement on this spectrum is inevitable!

When it comes to the How do I get this stuff BRAIN out of here? there are two specific you must assure are optimi 1.) Brain Drain (stuff co out) 2.) Brain Uptake (stuff g

ronic STREP & swollen TONSILS may be venting your child’s brain from draining & acting as a focal lesion!

This may also be blocking the uptake of essential nutrients in the

Getting things IN & OUT of the Brain is a huge underrecognized obstacle for healing our Successful strategies could include: Tonsil children! removal, Pulsed Magnetic Fields, CranialSacral (hard head = #1), finger accupressure with nutrients, lymph drainage, alternating ice on head & heat on feet, head stimulus, alternating right & left movements, neural therapy, laser, etc..

This is my son getting his bi-weekly IV He regularly tests for the Bemer-3000 (pulsed magnetic) & the Alpha-Stim (electric stim) during the chelation portion of his IV (stimulates uptake)

The total cost for this intervention in money is less than $20 & in time less than an hour! Combined with being in the dark & quiet...this will down-regulate/de-stress the neurological system like nothing else I know of. Do a round of deep pressures first.

This is what a homemade “TUBE” looks like with my son inside! We learned this technique at FuturesUnlimited.com

My son in his TUBE!

What’s in a TUBE???

I am simply showing you how you hang the tube you just made with the top knot right next to the hook & thru the big “hoop” of fabric you just created... (tutorial)

On numerous occasions our son has produced this strange flushing of his forehead with the white mid-point. We celebrate his symptoms as they are rarely un-accompanied by improvement after

Drooling: Hypersalivation

Our son had not drooled for years...he is now 7. He started again about 6 months ago...at the same time he was becoming much more aware of his surroundings. I am not overly freaked out about this...it is not his only sign of being neuro-”diverse”...but I always want to know WHY??? Anju...Acetylcholine??? I consider it a symptom of neurotoxicity but feel symptoms are a very specific reaction to stuff when it is coming through the first time or coming back out (my hope now) after having been sequestered. When we are successful motivating the toxins to become displaced in the hopes of escorting them all the way out of the body...they oftentimes recreate symptoms of original exposure.

Cilantro (cut, stems in a cup of water in the fridge - best storage technique same for asparagus)

Breakfast: Getting stuff we want in our kids is one of the greatest challenges we face. This recipe for “green stuff” & eggs with runny yolks provides you with a delicious system for getting LOTS of the stuff they need in... Raw Egg Yolks are excellent chelators & sources of protein. Garlic is an excellent chelator & one of the only “Universal” Anti-microbials. It is active at killing: parasites, viruses, bacteria & fungus, but only in its most active form which is within 30 minutes of crushing. Cilantro is a phenomenal mobilizer of toxins. Avacado is an excellent source of essential fats & more. It’s just a great way to start the day! ...& my son loves it!

PST: Phenyl-Sulfur Transferase Deficiency This is the enzyme we use to break down Phenols. When you smell something it contains phenols that must be broken down. There are also phenols in our food that must be broken down with this enzyme. Below you will find a list of what to look for and what to do... PST

(Phenol-SulfoTransferase Enzyme Deficiency) (potentially more than 80% - Dr. Rosemary Waring)

“He” is poisoned by his own metabolic waste & food/environment phenols.” –Willis

Treatment of PST: Avoid Environmental Toxins (requires this enzyme) Avoid Tylenol (disables this enzyme further) Avoid Salicilates & Phenols=(require this enzyme) Feingold Diet/Sara’s diet (reduces need for this enzyme)

Avoid Bananas, Apples & Grapes (esp. red)

Symptoms of PST Thirst is excessive Night sweats Bedding smells weird Eyes have dark shadows Cheeks & Ears are occasionally red

Glycine (helps w/ high serotonin) (increases bile) (glycinated minerals help) Epsom Salt Bath Glucosamine (be careful can produce Glutamine which is excitotoxic) Condroitin Sulfate Taurine Glutathione (transdermal/IV/oral has some gut healing benefit) MSM NAC (low dose) ALA (low dose)  Detox: sauna, hat bath, massage, moderate exercise

Stem Cells were done by my son twice with Dr David Steenblock

Guidelines for Non-Toxic Living from

adapted from Our Little Place 1.) Avoid, get rid of, and don’t buy things you can SMELL (scented products too!) 2.) Avoid ALL fabric softeners & dryer sheets 3.) Avoid ALL pesticides, fungicides, herbicides & fertilizers 4.) Use only unscented non-toxic cleaning & personal care products (Miracle II) 5.) Drink and bathe in filtered (no chlorine) water 6.) Eat organic & raw food. Avoid microwaved, processed food & NutraSweet & MSG 7.) Wear only natural fiber clothing: 100% cotton, wool, silk, linen (w/o flame retardant) 8.) Use only natural fiber bedding: same as above (including bed if possible) 9.) Avoid: MOLD & New Construction: plastics, particle-board, plywood, glues, inks, paints, foam rubber, vinyl, carpet, synthetic rugs, varnishes, solvents, etc. 10.) Open windows whenever possible & incorporate good air filters & humidity controls 11.) Incorporate healthy houseplants that remove toxins: Philodendrons,          Spider, Aloe Vera, English Ivy, Golden Pothos & Boston Fern                         (AND cover soil with 2 inches of “fish tank rocks” to inhibit MOLD) 12.) Move all beds so there’s 3 feet between your head and power outlets or wires                         with electrical activity per Dr. Klinghardt (Stetzer Filters can help too!) 13.) Minimize use of cell/cordless phones & wireless information transfer-internet 14.)  GIVE AWAY EVERYTHING you don’t NEED! It creates a breeding ground for all the stuff you are trying to eliminate: dust, mold, microbes & is hard to clean! 15.) Start the day with a POSITIVE thought & write it on drinking bottle of water! Eg. I am HEALING today! (Remember: You ARE what you THINK you are!)   “The most polluted and dangerous air of all is the air you and your loved ones are breathing every time you go anywhere in your car!” …Dr Joseph Mercola

SUNBATHE for

HEALTH!!!

Our hea ling children are notoriously low in Vitamin D which is created cks simply block this production & your bodies natural response to the sun...TOXIC at wo rst & allergenic at best (titanium dioxide). Best Option: multiple ions in the sun, with maximum skin exposure. Start in the winter to build up a tan if possible. For longer exposures & between 10 & 2... long sleeved T-shirt & a hat! ...approximate
