---William Hazlitt Dear
Friend, When
I was in school, deciding what to do with my life, one
of the things I wanted in training as a therapist was to
understand the most complex disorders. I
always believed if I could understand what was considered to
be complicated, simple disorders would probably be a piece
of cake. That
thinking served me well. By
understanding the brain as a whole and brain ailments in
general, I grew to realize, the problems created because of
one disability can be very similar to others. First,
realize the brain can heal. Second, understand that the
memory and mental disorders we study are all variations of
negative effects to the same organ--the brain. The
brain, responds similarly to healing processes, no matter what
the disorder. And amazingly enough, many of the brain's ailments
come from similar sources, toxins and trauma. So
if I discuss head injury or epilepsy and you check in only because
you know someone with a stroke, don't stop reading just
because you think these problems are so different. They're
not. For
example, today I will discuss Autism. Again
I invoke you, stop thinking these disorders are so very different
and learn about the lesser problems like ADHD by understanding
the greater problems like Autism. Many
believe Autism to be simply a severe manifestation of
a highly toxic insult of mercury to the brain. Thus
the importance of avoiding or removing toxicity from contact
with the brains of all of us cannot be There
are many lost and far away patients who have suffered just
from alcohol toxicity, which can cause a horrible disorder known
as Korsakoff's syndrome. Patients
with this syndrome are as vegetative as severely Autistic
children any day. Don't
think for one minute that what is helpful to Autism possibly
be helpful and applicable to their In
that light, today I present the testimony of a family with an
Autistic child who began taking these great liquid nutrients called
Biometics. ***************************************** *
What Autism Teaches Us About Memory Loss I
wanted to briefly share a story that someone shared with me—so
here is a testimony by Dr. Russell Thomas: This
young lady has been caring for a special needs son diagnosed
with Autism. He
has been taking the products now for a couple of months with
immediate results with improved sleep and more gradual results
in the area of concentration, attention and broadening language
skills. He
has been a little slower to get results with behavioral control.
That is, until the past few weeks when [Biometics'] Daily
Harmony was added to his regimen. His
mother recounted the following story which happened last
week: dinner. is
a cherished preference. The
waitress, unfortunately was not aware of this and kept touching
the young lad. He became increasingly agitated and irritated
until he became unmanageable in the restaurant. Bad
got worse in the parking lot and he went into a full rage,
attracting much unwanted attention. The
mother and father were ready to throw in the towel on the
meal and return home when mom remembered that her son
had not had his Biometics that day. They
were on their way to the grandparents home and happened to
have the products with them. So
mom sends dad on a mission across the street to get some water
to mix up the products, including Daily Harmony. Within
15 minutes the boy was calm, laughing and they were able
to return to the restaurant to finish their meal not only in peace,
but also in a light, enjoyable fashion. The
boy's mother went on to tell me that this has never happened
before. She and her husband just knew that they would
miss the meal and spend considerable time and effort trying
to calm their son. Obviously this did not happen and they
were elated! The
mother then proceeded to note other recent improvements in
her son since adding the Biometics, citing increased language production
(*low verbal production is also a hallmark of Autism),
decrease in agitation, and an improved awareness of his
surroundings not previously observed. The
later result was also noted by the young boy's speech therapist,
who was blind to the fact that he was using the Biometics
products regularly. Finally,
she added that the young boy had noticed a blinking light
on top of a tower next to their house . . . they have lived
there over 2 years, but he just noticed it since taking the
Biometics! People
often ask, "Does that stuff really make any difference? There
is a proud mother of a special young boy somewhere in rural
North Carolina who thinks so! She
has declared that she will never be without them for her son!
Let us never give up sharing these incredible products with
others. You
never know whose life is going to be dramatically changed and
improved because you overcame yourself, opened your mouth
and shared these products with someone else! I'm
proud to be a part of such an important mission and to be associated
with the very best people this country has to offer. ************************************************ Now
let's review a Palm Beach Post News report from 5/1/05. *
More of What Autism Can Teach Us: Families Hope, Critics Scoff
--Stephanie Horvath The
number of children diagnosed with Autism has risen dramatically. Six-year-old
Alexis Winter was mugging for a photographer in living
room on a recent Monday night when her mom, Theresa, a
request "Give Mommy a kiss," Theresa said. Alexis
tore her brown eyes, magnified behind her glasses, the
camera and gave her mother a distracted peck For
most parents, that would be unremarkable, one of countless kisses
from their child. But for Robert and Theresa Winter of Boynton
Beach it's a hard-won reward. Six
months ago Alexis, who is autistic, never hugged or kissed them. and Autism,
a developmental disorder that affects a child's communication
and social interaction, afflicts an astounding one
out of 166 children in the U.S. ************************************************* Ms.
Horvath goes on to explain Autism--that those with Autism
are withdrawn, speak very little, avoid eye contact, and
struggle to show affection and have relationships. She
also tells what we have all heard: That there is no known cure
to this ailment which fits among the memory disorders because
of its affect on communication. Her
news is that many parents of Autistic children are trying
out Chelation and finding success. Dr.
Andrew Levinson, who has treated over 1000 autistic children
in the last 5 years, reports that many children experience
reversals of Autism with Chelation. Chelation
has been around for decades and may assist Autism because
it detoxifies the system. Some
doctors believe Autistic childen can not detoxify heavy
metals on their own because they are low in glutathione. Jim
Adams, an engineering professor, has found that the Autistic
child secretes three times as much mercury as healthy
children after receiving Chelation. However,
as in all things there are many different opinions. Not
all doctors agree with these findings. And
of course the Chelation process is not covered by insurance
and is rather expensive. The
article goes on to remind readers that behavioral therapies
are the strongest method for assisting Autistic children. One
of the most interesting points is that Dr. Levinson now
has the attention of main stream doctors, who regularly contact
him to learn what he is doing. Chelation
is delivered by pill, cream, shot, or intravenous infusion. Dr
Levinson believes other doctors are interested because, "It's
kind of hard to argue with the results." ************************************************* How
wonderful that we are finally learning--our brains require a
lot of help because of toxins. to,
the more nutrients and I
spent many years in therapy with Autistic children and these
results to be nothing short of fascinating, reports
on the topic of Autism. In
addition, this news solidifies: There are similar issues the
brain is involved. they
may be minor compared to Autism, the needs of the brain for
purity and brain nutrition are becoming extremely evident. Thank
God we are moving toward healing instead of just masking
problems of the brain with drugs thus creating problems
and cycles of destruction. And
thank you for learning about the brain so you can help and
spread the news that brains do heal! In a way, changes--well--they've
only just begun! Catch
you next time. Sorry to miss last week. I took a fall and
could not sit long enough to write--healing you know. This
time I was lucky, it was not my brain, just my aching back. S
