Dr. Smith's Bi-monthly "HealthQuest e-News" (HQN) Newsletter

SYMPTOMS:

A general description of symptoms Is: "severe emotional disturbance, often seen in children, with an inability to relate socially and mentally with others. May throw temper tantrums, may no longer talk, and may sit and stare for long periods of time. Some may be born with a high intelligence quota, or being gifted on a genius level, in a specific area, such as mathematics, music, etc. If this applies, they are called, "autistic savants." More detailed, medical descriptions or symptoms are available online, if desired.

TERMS DEFINED: ROOT CAUSES, CONTRIBUTING FACTORS, SYMPTOMS
There are root (or direct) causes for Autism and other behavior and learning disabilities, and there are contributing factors. Contributing factors adversely affects the areas of the body producing the symptoms due to the root cause. Contributing factors accelerate the process of cellular and tissue destruction towards death. Thus, making the heath challenges worse (more severe and sooner) than it would, otherwise, have been.

A basic law of physics is "cause and effect." Autism, or any health challenge is an effect. So contrary to public health information distributed by our medical industry that there is no cure, it is possible to heal the body of any health challenge, until the cells and tissue reach cellular and tissue decay or death. Often I find in my practice, new clients have been told that they have reached that point of no return, however, within a few weeks on a their clinical nutrition program they begin to experience healing, symptoms begin to leave and realize that what they were told by their physicians actually meant was their was no cure available through drugs or surgery, the standard treatment protocols of medicine.

Symptoms are the way the body communicates to the Brain that immediate attention needs to be focused on identifying and correcting the cause or serious consequences will soon develop.

Preventive Health Care is a proactive system to identify and correct causes before the body has progressed to a clinical state where it has to use "symptom" to get your attention to take action.

ROOT CAUSES - INTRODUCTION
Throughout this newsletter I have shared information I consider essential and that which has been overlooked, as a standard, in the treatment of Autism. What is important, first, in assisting the body in healing, no matter what the health challenge, is a basic understanding of healing from a clinical nutrition and naturopathic perspective. Therefore, it is important to first lay a foundation of knowledge in nutritional biochemistry and the innate (autonomic) healing system of the human body.

"Ninety-five percent (95%) of all illnesses and diseases are caused by malnutrition (and toxicity) with five percent (5%) caused by hereditary factors and/or trauma (mental, emotional or physical accidental injury or abuse)." These statistics were included in one of my textbooks when I was studying for my degree as a Naturopathic Doctor (N.D.) in 1988.

My clinical experience, since 1981, has led me to add toxicity. Though long-term ingestion and exposure to toxic substances, also, leads to malnutrition, both short- and long-term ingestion or exposure poisons the body, and in time, when not instantly fatal, damages and destroys healthy cells and tissues, then the entire organ and gland. (For a better understanding of this statement, refer to Further Reading at the bottom of this section of the newsletter.)

ROOT CAUSE: MALNUTRITION

Malnutrition and Toxicity are at the root cause of Autism. Americans tend to think of malnutrition as third-world country starvation, but this is a false assumption. 98.5% of American's are unhealthy due to malnutrition and toxicity.

When you read my article "What Is Inside Our Cells Is Proof Drugs Don't Heal," and its accompanying Diagram on the Cell Metabolism Pathways, you will observe that there are only nutrients inside our cells (proteins, carbohydrates, fats/oils, vitamins, minerals and water).

The contents of the human cells do not include the names of the chemicals in drugs so how can these chemicals heal the cell, they can't. Simply speaking, Drugs manipulate the nervous system so you do not feel the pain of inflammation (infection) produced by malnourished, toxic, damaged, decaying cells and tissue. If you can't feel the pain, you are not motivated to correct its cause.

Therefore, only nutrients have the ability to heal, repair and regenerate, i.e., grow new healthy, cells. What interferes with the regeneration of new cell growth are biochemical factors (malnutrition and toxicity), physical trauma (accidental injury) and bio-electrical interferences. Toxic substances include chemicals (drugs, food additives/preservatives, pesticides/herbicide spraying), heavy metals, and parasites (germs and worms), to name a few, from ingesting or exposure to these pollutants in our air, food, water, clothing, hair/skin personal care products and cleansing and maintenance products used in yards, gardens, home and work places.

Infants are born with malnourished states in various areas of the body and toxicity which can include the brain, which have been passed onto them by their parents at conception and the mother's diet and lifestyle practices during pregnancy and delivery are contributing factors.

ROOT CAUSE: TOXICITY

One Root Cause from Toxicity is through Vaccinations: Chemicals, heavy metals and parasites are the substances in vaccinations. In both my YouTube videos and a number of articles I have explained why the original theory of vaccinations does not work effectively today, i.e., to inject the body with a virus, for example, forcing the body to develop anti-bodies to the virus. Thus, having these anti-bodies present at the time of exposure in the future.

Infants in the first 12 months are still developing their immune systems. Those who are fed anything, other than mother's milk, exclusively, for the first 12 months, will not receive the mother's anti-bodies, to develop a strong immune system.

The medical practice of vaccinating infants with toxic substances, like metals (mercury, aluminum, etc.) and germs (viruses, bacteria, etc.) under the erroneous assumption that an infant's immune system is going to develop anti-bodies on their own, in reality, causes their under-developed immune system to crash (stop developing) or damage cells and tissue, preventing them from completing their development.)

This occurs more immediately in malnourished infants, however, even if an infant is born with a relatively strong constitution, symptoms free and functional organs and glands, the infant can develop autism or other health challenges, after their developing immune systems are dramatically assaulted by these toxic substances in infant and childhood vaccinations

In the state of Texas, as may be the case in all states, vaccinations are required by law only if the parents plan to enroll the child in a public school. The website, www.autism.com has information per state on how to avoid vaccinations. Above you have read about the Supreme Courts setting a precedent in a case that proved that vaccinations can cause autism.

A Big Flaw In The Theory of Vaccinations Today
Vaccinations can also cause health challenges for adults. Let's look at the flu vaccination. The medical theory is that injected (or oral) vaccinations, that contains viruses, will stimulate the body to produce anti-bodies, so that the next time the person is exposed to a virus, they will already have the anti-bodies to fight the new virus. Though this may appear sound in theory, there is a flaw in application, and not just because of Louis Pasteur's deathbed confession that germs do not cause disease.

The flaw is the above theory is this: According to the "U.S. Statistical Abstract of 1992, 98.5% of Americas are unhealthy." An unhealthy body is not strong enough to develop sufficient anti-bodies, or even, handle the germs, metals and chemicals in vaccinations and often become sick from the flu vaccination. So, in my opinion, it is a miracle that infants and toddlers survive a series of up to 11 vaccinations in their first few years of life.

CDC Vaccination Schedule for Infants and Children

Here is a summary of the Vaccination Schedule, as of December, 2009, from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for the 11 licensed childhood vaccinations.

With the addition of vaccinations for Hepatitis A, B, and annual Influenza (Flu), today an infant from 0-18 months is scheduled to receive 26 dosages/injections from 10 of the 11 vaccinations (repeating vaccinations at specific intervals during these months). That is up to 26 times the infant's body is assaulted with chemicals, heavy metals and germs before they reach 1 1/2 years of age. With 18 of these dosages/injections received by age 6 months.

It is no wonder that now (and finally) the Supreme Court has ruled that vaccinations can cause Autism. We should outlaw the above Schedule.

OTHER BIOCHEMICAL ROOT CAUSES:

In addition to the above, there are some specific biochemical and biological causes that lead to Autism and other behavior/learning disabilities:

Low pH
Mineral deficiencies (Refer to section below titled, "Other Overlooked Autism-Related Factors.")
Weak adrenal function
Weak kidney function
Hormone Imbalance (refer to Blog article for an introduction on this topic)
Brain infections
Leaky Gut Syndrome (loss of intestinal flora). Refer to my blog article on "Dangers and Alternatives to Root Canals, Implants and Filling Cavities" for an introduction on this topic. I also explain how Probiotics help, but they are like giving someone a bucket,who is on the lake sitting in a boat with a hole in it. Probiotics do not fix the problem and when you stop them, just like when you stop using the bucket, you still have the same problem as you started and you sink.
Toxic Bowels - there are specific parts of the bowels (colon/large intestines) that have a direct affect on the brain.

I listed rather than provided the details about the above root causes as these will be explained in detail with those who contact me for testing to identify which of the above causes relate to the individual needing help to improve brain function.

CONTRIBUTING FACTORS:
Contributing factors are not "direct causes." They are factors that contribute to the cause by accelerating destruction (degeneration, decay and/or premature death) of the cells, tissue, organ, gland and/or body systems. This then leads to premature death of the person, when its vital organs have more decayed/dead cells and tissues than healthy ones AND the body is no longer able to adapt and manage its malnourished states and the amount of toxic substances within.

Contributing Factors include, but are not limited to:

Electro-Magnetic Fields (refer to Bio-Electrical System section of this newsletter below)
Lifestyle Factors: anyone who has done serious research on autism is aware of most of these factors and you can google for a list. So let me just highlight some key factors:

Sleep: the human body requires eight hours for adults (approximately 21 years or older), where as infants to teens require up to 12 hours. I remember as a teenage all they way through my high school years, my parents not understanding why I just could not get out of bed till noon on Saturdays. (Saturdays, the only time in our culture where a child or teen has the opportunity to get the sleep required fro healthy biological function. However, that is just one out of seven days actually required.).
Sleep is required for:

detoxification, which is waste and harmful stomach breakdown, so when you wake up you can eliminate this matter from body openings - from eyes to anus/bladder.
repairing damage cells and tissue, that are not too malnourished or damaged by physical injury or toxicity to be repaired.
regenerating (or growing) new, healthy cells, when macro- and micro-nutrients, including pure water, has been received that day or within the week and are available. Nutrients are the building blocks to grow new cells. The body requires nutrients from whole foods and whole food supplements for cellular and tissue regeneration, otherwise, it cannot grow new cells and repair current injured or damaged cells and tissue. (To understand nutritional supplements, please read the section below on "Three Ways Supplements are Manufactured Today")

Sunlight - because of computer games, television and indoor sports, children are not receiving sufficient sunlight to convert it into Vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for the immune and nervous system, and many other biological functions. I have written an extensive newsletter on Vitamin D Deficiency, which you can locate in the Archives To Past Issues (See Quick Links To Dr. Smith). It will inform you about everything you need to know about the importance of sunlight.
Other Key Lifestyle Factors I want to emphasize are presented in other sections of this newsletter, such as Electro-Magnetic Fields, Food-Chemistry Based Diets, Therapeutic Whole Food Supplementation, and reducing toxic exposures to chemicals and heavy metals at home, schools and the work place.

HEREDITARY CAUSES
Hereditary can be a causal factor, also, however, the root cause is still the same. Parents pass their toxicity, like Mercury, a heavy metal, or parasites (viruses, bacteria, yeast) and malnourished states to their newborns. My "Infertility" blog mentioned above also shares information about how mothers today are not properly educated in how to replenish nutrients in their body after each pregnancy, which can then lead to weaker off-springs the more children they have.

CONCLUSION OF CAUSES
Experts often look for a single cause of autism, or any illness or disease, without looking at the body as a whole, and understanding how the body functions (operates, heals and repairs itself), what it requires to heal and sustain health, in addition to, what interferes in its ability to do so. Interferences, such as the outside influences (food and environmental pollutants) and other interferences to its ability to function, like electro-magnetic fields (EMF), which interfere with the communications between the brain and the cells.

This is one of the reasons that it took so long for vaccinations to be recognized as a contributing cause of autism, after all, look at the number of infants and children, that do not develop autism after vaccination. (Though a closer look, one could find other health challenges these infants and children are suffering from from vaccinations. The chemicals and metals in vaccinations can adversely affect any part of the body, attacking first the areas with inherent or acquired weakness.) An acquired weakness is an area of the body that become permanently weak due to the person's unhealthy lifestyle practices.

Consider this, which came first the mosquito or the swamp? The swamp, of course, attracts the mosquito. As I report in my article on parasites, which is also briefly discussed on my blog, parasites are attracted to malnourished, decaying and dying cells and tissue for the purpose of consuming the damaged/dead cells and then changing the cells structure to a substance that can be returned to the earth as food for the soil. This process is called decomposition.

During the above process, however, parasites are not discriminatory as they consume healthy cells, too, which is why Louis Pasteur thought germs caused disease. He confessed his error in this theory on his death bed. However, by that time the standard of medical practice was too well established, based on his theory, and considering the financial gain of pharmaceutical drugs, his confession was not well publicized or acted upon.

Germs, like all toxic substance, contribute to disease, but they are not the original source of disease. Malnutrition is what causes all diseases and dysfunction, whether it is the brain, heart or the whole body. Sound rather simplistic, yes, but truth is simple. Toxicity, whether through germs, chemicals or heavy metals, contribute to damaging healthy cells/tissue and accelerate the degeneration and destruction of malnourished cells and tissue.

When a person's health (no matter what the age) is already in a weakened state from malnutrition, vaccinations, in a sense, are like the straw that broke the camel's back. There were many causes (or other straws), that contribute to weakening the malnourished state. This is why autism (or any dysfunction or disease) can be complicated to identify all the causes, especially, for those starting from the false assumption of looking for a single cause.

Therefore, in conclusion, the first step is to test the individual biochemistry, detoxify toxic substances, remove from the environment or dramatically reduce all pollution of air, food and water, balance electro-magnetic fields in your home and office, and use neuro-integration (or neuro-biofeedback) to balance the brain waves and retrain them to function properly again.

Become educated in the principles that govern the healthy function of the human mind and body and develop a principle-centered, healthy lifestyle to live in harmony with these laws (principles) to improve and maintain health, vs. engaging in lifestyle practices each day that work against the principles and further promote disease and premature death. We learned as a child the injury we cause to ourselves when we try to defy the law of gravity. Violating, through ignorance or rebellion, the biochemical and bio-electrical laws causes injury (called illness and disease) internally.

What Is Inside Our Cells Is Proof Drugs Don't Heal!
Parasites (Germs and Worms)

MINERAL DEFICIENCIES/EXCESSES:

Our bodies need Minerals in order to function. So no matter what the health challenge, every client requires a Tissue Mineral (Hair) Analysis to identify and correct all mineral deficiencies and excesses. Clients who present themselves with any symptoms or health challenges in the following areas are provided a Tissue Mineral Hair Analysis to determine mineral deficiency and heavy metal contamination as a priority over or along with other biochemical testing (blood, saliva, urine, or stool).

brain dysfunction
Emotional imbalances
hormone imbalances: female/male, adrenal, thyroid, etc.
cardiovascular system
protein deficiency and/or inability to metabolize protein and/or transport protein to the cells.
musculo-skeletal system
slow or inability to heal, just to name a few.

Minerals build skeletal and soft tissues, regulate processes, such as heartbeat, blood clotting, regulate internal fluid pressure, nerve response, and transport oxygen, hormones and other substances, such as insulin, enzymes, etc., to/from organs and glands to/from the cells.

There are specific minerals for transporting specific hormones, enzymes, etc.

Zinc Deficiency and Autism
For example, Zinc is required to transport 69 enzymes and Zinc deficiency is a key factor in Autism, Behavior/Learning Disabilities, Male/Female Hormone Imbalance, Cardio-Vascular System Dysfunction, and Eating Disorders (Anorexia and Bulimia).

Hormones Require Minerals For Transportation To Cells - Example in Hypothyroid
Another example is to transport thyroid hormones, requires a sufficiency and ratio balance of Sodium and Potassium. Women, more often than men, are being diagnosed with low (Hypothyroid) thyroid function. Thus, their physician will prescribe Synthroid, or another thyroid drugs, based on abnormal thyroid levels in the blood.

However, blood testing alone does not provide all the biochemical information necessary to determine the cause and what is needed to correct the symptoms of low thyroid (or hyper-thyroid) function, and may result in a taking drugs that destroy a perfectly healthy-functioning thyroid, when the cause, mineral deficiency, is overlooked due to a lack of obtaining a tissue mineral hair analysis, along with blood chemistry tests.

Through clinical nutrition analysis of both tissue mineral hair and thyroid blood chemistry levels, my clinical observations has been that hypo- (low) and hyper- (high) thyroid dysfunction can be caused by:

the thyroid gland production being too low or high, which suggests a glandular dysfunction.
deficiency in the minerals to transport the thyroid hormones, being produced, to the cells.
or both.

How Mineral Deficiency Leads To Hormone Imbalances In The Blood
When minerals are not sufficiently present to transport thyroid or other hormones and substances to the cells, the thyroid hormones, for example, collect in the blood and distorts the blood thyroid hormone values. This leads the physician to diagnosing hypo- or hyper-thyroid, yet the real diagnosis lies in mineral deficiency, alone, or in both thyroid glandular dysfunction AND mineral deficiency (or excess). In other words, Hypothyroid can be caused by either or both, low hormone production AND/OR sodium and potassium deficiencies.

The above Hypothyroid - Mineral Relationship applies to all organs and glands and the substances (hormones, enzymes, etc.) they produce that require sufficiency in the specific mineral required to deliver these substances to the cells and tissue.

HEAVY METAL DETOXIFICATION & ITS RELATIONSHIP TO MINERALS AND AUTISM

A Tissue Mineral Hair Analysis (TMA), also, identifies heavy metal toxicity, such as mercury, aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, etc. Have you ever observed the reaction between a metal and a live electrical wire. In times when a telephone pole falls across the street, people are advised to stay in their cars as the rubber in the tires ground the electrical currents. If they are outside their car and touch metal, they would be electrocuted.

If you were standing on a metal ladder, putting up a TV antenna on the roof of the house (if they even do that anymore) and a live, electrical wire was exposed and you touched it, you would be electrocuted. When using battery cables to jump start a battery, you are warned to not let the metal cables touch each other. These are all examples of how metals and electricity interfere with (or react to) each other, with danger consequences. The brain is the human battery. It stores electricity. Heavy metals are not only toxic to all cells of the body, they are attracted to the brain and cause interferences in brain function.

Now add to this metals that are surgically implanted in the body, This can cause electrical discharges in all directions throughout the body and can result in static electricity being stored in the tissues or other adverse metal-electrical reactions -- all of which can lead to a myriad of mental and other health challenges.

Another key factor in Tissue Mineral and Heavy Metal Testing that is overlooked in relationship to autism or any other symptoms of heavy metal toxicity, is the fact that All heavy metals contain minerals. Minerals are so important that if the body is mineral deficient, it will hold onto toxic heavy metals and use the minerals in them. I call these "junk" minerals.

However, this is like having a car that is so old that even junk yard parts are not available anymore, so a good mechanic has to do some creative Southern Engineering on a similar part from another car to make a part that will work in the old car. Once done, the old car may get you from point A to Z, but it's a rough ride with a lot of mis-firing, and electrical detours along the way.

Similarly, when the body is forced to use "junk minerals" in toxic heavy metals a myriad of other health challenges will ensue -- not only are the toxic heavy metals being deposited in cells and tissue, the longer they exist in the body, which cause their own related health challenges, the junk minerals do not function like pure essential minerals from food sources so it can cause neurological mis-firing and detours, delivering substances to places they were not meant to go, missing delivery in the places the substances were meant to go, etc. Can you see how challenging it is not only for the brain, but the whole body, to function when mineral deficiencies and heavy metals are present.

Some nutritional practitioners are aware of the importance of heavy metal detoxification, and give their patients/clients metal chelators and other supplements to remove metals, like mercury, from the body. However, what some do not know is that the body is not going to release all of the metals, when the body is mineral deficient.

The number one priority of your biological, biochemical and bio-electrical processes is to keep your body functioning to the highest degree possible -- and it is a higher priority to the body to use minerals, even junk minerals from metals, than it is to detoxify metals from the body, no matter how toxic they are, when minerals are deficient. So attempting to detoxify metals, without correcting mineral deficiencies first, is not only ineffective, but can have some adverse consequences by causing more severe mineral deficient-related health challenges due lowering the availability of even the junk minerals that are removed through heavy metal detoxification programs.

Another factor over-looked in Tissue Mineral Hair Analysis (TMA) is the importance of retesting at least twice a year to monitor progress mineral hair analysis and have patience. It can take a months, even a couple of years, to re-establish mineral sufficiency in children and 2-5 years in adults. Some people are not aware of this fact, and some of those who do, do not have the patience to stay the course and accomplish this goal, much to their regret down the road. Remember, your body cannot function properly without mineral sufficiency.

Mineral Sufficiency Restoration Requires "Whole Food" Mineral Supplements
A person cannot eat enough mineral-rich foods to re-establish mineral sufficiency when their Tissue Mineral Hair Analysis (test values) indicates clinical level deficiencies. It is also important to know that mineral sufficiency can only be re-established by consuming "whole food" mineral supplements. such as our therapeutic "clinically-formulated" whole food mineral supplements, which are dispensed only through doctors, like myself, and only after obtaining a Tissue Mineral Analysis (TMA) to identify which minerals are deficient. Therefore, the Synthetic or Isolated mineral supplements sold to the public and through other health care professional unaware of the "whole food" factor will not restore mineral sufficiency, but actually suppresses symptoms through manipulating mineral metabolism and cause a more severe mineral deficiencies.

False Assumption About Mineral Deficiency Assessment & Treatment
True or False? Taking an Iron Supplement, even a whole food Iron Supplement, will raise Iron Deficient levels indicated in a Tissue Mineral Hair Analysis?

The answer is False. Taking a whole food iron supplement will only raise iron levels in the blood, not in the hair, i.e., in the cells. A Hair Analysis is a scientific test for cellular mineral deficiency and toxic metals. Blood testing is not a cellular test. Taking a Iron Supplement when Iron is deficient in the cells will only cause a more severe iron deficiency. Think of Hair Analysis like the Children Playground Teeter-Totter. A Teeter-Totter has a high and low end. If the low end represents Iron Deficiency and putting more weight on the low end of the Teeter-Totter board represents taking an Iron Supplement, you can easily visualize how an Iron Supplement will not raise Iron deficient levels in the cells. More weight on the low end of a Teeter-Totter only keeps the low end "low."

Therefore, to raise mineral deficiencies at a cellular level as indicated on a Tissue Mineral Hair Analysis, you must take the specific corresponding mineral or vitamin that will raise iron levels. As in this example of the Teeter-Totter, to raise the low end of the board, you must put weight on the high end, which causes the high in to go down and raises the low end.

Eight False Public Assumptions About Vitamin and Mineral Supplements
I have identified eight false assumption that the public, and even some nutritional practitioners have about vitamin and mineral supplements. In the Personal Education Program (PEP) Consultations our clients receive, I cover these assumptions. When you understand the principle of biochemistry above as it related to restoring mineral sufficiency, it is clear that one of these assumptions is that taking multiple-mineral and multiple-vitamin supplements are safe, effective and will raise deficient levels. This is fiction. Think again about the Iron Deficiency / Teeter-Totter Example above. Now think what all the minerals in a multiple mineral supplement may be actually doing to the body of those who take them.

FIVE PROTEIN-RELATED FACTORS - ANOTHER MISSING LINK IN AUTISM

If you have research causes and treatment of Autism, you know about the importance of amino acids in relationship to neuro-transmitters. However, there are four protein-related factors overlooked in those attempting to restore protein sufficiency, in addition to the fact that minerals are as equally important in neuro-transmission as protein.

Most people read information about protein and autism and think only of protein deficiency. However, a clinical nutrition analysis of Tissue Mineral Hair Lab Reports identifies four important factors in relationship to protein:

deficiency and/or excessive levels of protein,
protein metabolism (absorption, assimilation, etc.). There are other factors that interfere with or cause protein metabolism dysfunction, including taking isolated and synthetic amino acids.
transportation of proteins to the cells, linking proteins to other substances requiring protein for their function.
protein imbalance - taking individual amino acids, can cause an imbalanced level in other amino acids. Amino Acids should only be taken under professional guidance, if they are needed. A healthy approach is to consume whole food proteins.
utilizing protein within cell structure. A TMA Lab Report may indicate that the client has a sufficient level of protein, that their protein is being efficiently metabolized and transported to the cells, however, the cells may not be able to utilize the protein it receives or eliminate its waste.

Any one or more of the above protein-related factors can adversely affect neuro-transmissions.

Another frequently over-looked fact about taking amino-acids is that taking isolated amino-acids manipulates the biochemistry, they do not heal at a cellular level. Thus, they become a contributing factor in protein metabolism dysfunction. (#2 above).
