- There is much debate over the etiology of
autism. Is it genetic or is it environmental?
- I believe that both genetics and toxins play
their role in autism. I personally agree with
Julie Matthews' reference in her book
Nourishing Hope For Autism that:
- "Genetic weakness coupled with one or more
environmental assaults results in the
manifestation of autism." (Deth)

"Many of us believe that in the
past few decades corporate
influence has turned the
vaccine program into more of
a profit engine than a means
of prevention."

| The following information has been adapted from the book Healing and Preventing Autism by Jenny McCarthy and Jerry Kartzinel, MD: By looking at your family tree (parents, grandparents, siblings, etc.) you can see where family illness comes from. Families with an autistic child report finding genetic traits either from the Methylation Tree or Common Autoimmune Tree, or both. If any of these disorders are found in your family, see them as warning signs of possible risk of your child developing autism. The Methylation Tree includes: Dementia Autism, ADHD, ADD Schizophrenia Bipolar Disorder Alzheimer's Depression Alcoholism Constipation Suicide The Common Autoimmune Tree includes: Leaky Gut Chrohn's Disease Fibromyalgia Chronic Fatigue Inflammatory Bowel Disease Lupus Celiac Disease Multiple Sclerosis Diabetes MBP antibodies Rheumatoid Arthritis Graves Disease Addison's Disease Thyroid Disease |
