TACA Talk About Curing Autism - Resources

DAN! Conferences

September 16 - 17, 2000
San Diego, California
Number of Attendees: 1,300

Editorial: Most of the attendees were parents, I would say 80%. There was a practitioners day on September 15th where doctors did attend. Some doctors did come to all days, I am not sure on the statistics here. The mood was extremely comforting (despite some of the devastating information provided to the crowd.) All were in a mood to learn and on a mission for their children. I enjoyed the nurturing part of this conference! One mother said "I don't want to leave here! I feel supported here. I will go back into the real world on Monday and have to fight again." This captured the mood.

FACT: 87 children a day in the US alone are being diagnosed autistic. Autism costs $8 billion a year and rising.

Handouts: An excellent 92-page DAN conference syllabus was handed to each parent. I would fax Autism research institute to see if you could BUY this document. It had speaker notes (most of the items are documented here) and relevant articles and studies. Autism Research Institute Fax#: (619) 563-6840.

Dr. Rimland - Opening: parent of autistic child - www.autism.com/ari

We should all strive to improve our children's health by providing supplements. We should present vitamins and minerals to replace the individual child's deficiencies and replace what the body needs. Not to use drugs.
Over 100,000 people each year are killed by prescription drugs. There is an overuse and misuse of drugs in the US.
Page 22 an excellent hand out on the parent evaluation of drugs used to treat autism vs. supplements. This is available on www.autism.com/ari. VERY INTERESTING on the negative feedback on drugs vs. the positive feedback on non-evasive supplements.
60 Minutes will be airing a special show by Rick Rollens of the MIND Institute between October 15 - December 15th. Be sure to watch the Autism Research page for the exact date. This is not to be missed!
Editorial: Dr. Rimland was very moving. We all gave him a standing ovation for his support and efforts for the past 35 years. He is incredibly motivating and genuinely work towards finding help and support for our kids. He strives to receive recognition that autism is a neurological disorder that needs biological treatment and attention to helping our kids. We are not imaging our children's symptoms!

Dr. Sidney Baker A Clinician's Perspective -
www.sbakermd.com & www.medigenesis.com

Dr. Baker is an excellent speaker. He has a practical, real life approach to viewing patients needs and finding results.
His complete speaker notes are in the conference syllabus
Anti-fungal - he believes in a yeast free diet and a low, simple carbo diet
Drugs do not work well on children with autism. They suppress the immune system. Reactions are usually unpredictable and odd.
Food: Be Gluten and casein free. Avoid chocolate, cheese, banana, citrus (are PST inhibitors an enzyme for digestion,) IgG reactive food avoidance
Nutrients and metabolics: These are universally missing in children with autism: B6 and magnesium, DMG (with folate is an antidote to hyperactivity,) Zinc, Selenium, Code Liver oil (A & EPA), Flax oil or flaxseed powder, and calcium (they gotta have this if casein free.) We must supplement these in our children.
There are almost always sensory issues individually to each child and need treatment. These sensory issues include; auditory, visual, tactile, taste, smell, immune

Summary:

Apparently diverse therapies are not as unrelated as they first appear

Treatment requires tailoring - beware of the off the shelf formula and one size DOES NOT FIT ALL!

What I now know comes from watching kids and listening to parents

I have developed a structured, organized way of listening and remembering

Dr. Andrew Stoll - Omega 3 Fatty Acids in Autism

Body cannot make Omega 3 - it must be supplemented or from food
Omega 3 comes from the mother via the placenta and finally from breast feeding
Omega 3 NEED to be in infant formula to encourage proper brain growth!
Three types of Omega 3

2 found in fish oil

DHA is most important

EPA - helps with anti flammatory issues

Typical US diet has 20:1 Omega 6 to Omega 3. Japan is 3:1 - we need to get it as close to 1:1 as possible. (Omega 6's are the bad kind, they deep fried food kind of fatty acids.)
Omega 3 are needed to prevent heart disease.

Omega 3 dose information:

fish oil is preferred to flaxseed oil at this time

usual dose - 2 x's a day is best. Helps with food absorption. 1.5-10 g/d (3-5 g/d typical) Omega 3 fatty acids

Read labels carefully - Omega 3 are not universal. Get best quality

Get the highest content of EPA as possible

Antioxidants Vitamin C & E may prevent Omega 3 degregation

If GI upset - divide dose

Potential Adverse Effects for Fish oil

gas disturbances

fishy after taste

Spread out dose to avoid. And use nitrogenated process cod liver oil in the manufacturing process for less smell and taste - www.omegabrite.com (800)4 OMEGA has a brand that is tasteless, odorless and is high quality.

Dr. Paul Hardy 2 kids w/ ADD - 1 just graduated from medical school - www.hardyhealthcare.com

His SLIDES are on his web site.
During pregnancy - supplementing with essential fatty acids is crucial for proper child development.
If you breast feed, supplement with OMEGA 3's.
We need to provide infant formula with OMEGA 3 supplementation for essential brain development.
Maybe a future rollin IV therapies of OMEGA 3 - this is not proven in studies yet. Watch for more news hear.
There is some thought that some autistic and PDD children who may have bipolar disorders. This is just a theory. Mostly this affects PDD NOS diagnosis.

3 features of bipolar disorders

Jekyl and Hyde behaviors

Severe sleep disorders or unpredictable sleep patterns

Positive family history

Essential fatty acids are best eaten or supplemented (this will increase dopamine when received into the body and lowers when not present. Dopamine increase attention.)
Cod Liver oil left 1960 modern medicine - no one knows why. It should be replaced as a mandatory daily supplement.
Deficiencies in Vitamins Minerals

B6 Zinc

Folic acid magnesium

A calcium

C Iron

E Selenium

Supplement first so they can UTILIZE Omega 3's.

Omega 3 Deficiencies:

Dry skin dry hair

dandruff white bumps on elbows, thighs, bottom

easily broken nails excessive thirst

bedwetting hyperactivity

tanturms asthma

stuffy or itchy nose white pasty skin

Great Smokies Labs does Omega testing

A 50 Child w/ PDD study concluded:

Omega 6 is striking out Omega 3 (bad oil vs. good oils i.e. deep fried food vs. cod liver oil)

They should be equal.

Enzymes work as a digestive Omega 6 first then Omega 3

It needs to be reversed to be beneficial.

Give Cod liver oil w/ maple syrup to disguise the taste daily

source: www.omegabrite.com or (800) 4OMEGA - tasteless fish oil

Early recognition and treatment is important

Treatment at any age is good - it is never too late to get results

Important area requires more research

Dr. Jane El Dahr Basic Training - Immunology 101

Her complete speaker notes are in the conference syllabus
Editorial - This presentation needs to be on tape. I have heard it TWICE and it is still hard to read. I have the tape and it is easier to understand. I recommend getting her tape to understand what the immunology system does and how things are going wrong in our kids.

Dr. Jeff Bradstreet & Dr. Jane El Dahr

Dr. Bradstreet - autistic son - www.gnd.org

Pioneering research in blood coagulation and rheology research in Autism.
Thrompophili = propensity to form blood clots - is now being found in some children with autism
Usually a protein C & S deficiency
APC resistant (Leiden Factor V)
Increased Lipoproteins
Increased PA-1 , and other issues
This will these children run the risk of early heart disease, strokes or blood clots. More research is being done as we speak / type.
Currently, there is no cocensus on treatment - watch out for www.gnd.org for more studies.

Dr. Stephanie Cave Immunization - The Practical Issues

Editorial: This was an incredible presentation. I cried 3-4 times. My anger in how the medical community has treated all of our children will be with me forever. Be careful about vaccinations and do not give in if your gut says no. Be your childs best advocate!

Little Tip: Dr. Cave works with Dr. Amy Holmes in Baton Rouge, LA

Autism rates

1970 - 1/2000 births

1996 - 1/500

2000 - 1/150 (they think)

Are we better at diagnosing or is there an environmental link? (My vote - LINK!!)

They treat 300 children with autism in their practice

Immunization - the good news

we have stopped polio

vaccines accomplished more than we dreamed

but have we paid a stiff price for success (YES!)

She does not suggest we return to the past

She is concerned about the growing number of chronically ill and disabled children including a wide range of autoimmunity issues. There are more issues here than ever in the history of medicine. Is this the price we are paying?

Immunizations - the bad

We are pushing these on children that are too young

Underdeveloped immune systems

the safety studies and vaccine practices need to be seriously reevaluated for today's issues

Issues: are we giving too many shots in a short space of time?

Do we have a clear idea of the side effects of the vaccines that ingredients have not been studied or have thimersol, mercury, aluminum and formaldehyde. (note: aluminum is more toxic then mercury.)

Note: 1991 - 1999 25X the recommended amount of mercury was used in EACH vaccine. Mercury eliminates bile and cause stool issues. Mercury is also in FLU SHOTS.

Autism

is genetics the main factor ?

Are vaccines involved?

What part of the inefficient liver detoxification systems play?

Are the dietary peptides center stage?

Do bowel toxins play a major part?

NOTE: Mercury toxicity and autism produce the same side effects!

Immunization Issues

MMR Vaccines - where persistent measles infections are in the GI tract

Autism epidemic has escalated in past 9 years

The Hepatitis B vaccine was introduced in 1991 - given on the day of birth - this vaccine contains thimersol and mercury as a preservative.

Studies show that the mercury blood level of newborns before the shot is fine and is higher after the vaccine.

High diet of fish and Rhogam pregnancy drugs and amalgam fillings and FLU vaccine will provide too much mercury toxicity to the unborn child.

Immunization next steps

We still do not have all the answers

Why does it happen to one child in a group (NOTE: Some vaccines are shipped in a vial with 10 doses. Nurses remove the proper dose from the vial. If the vial is not shaken properly all the mercury settles to the bottom and the 10^th child gets the largest dose of mercury!)

The CDC has NO plan to remove mercury from all vaccines. Hopefully in the near future the CDC will follow through with a clear plan for removal of thimerosal from all vaccines. When this happens, I feel that the vaccines that will be available can be given safely on a reasonable schedule within the existing laws.

Practical Suggestions for Vaccines

Use thimersol free vaccines - KNOW and verify the batch number before the vaccine is administered. (you can wait until this happens and vaccinate later.)

Do not vaccinate ill children

Space vaccines over 6 months. Do NOT give 6-9 organisms in one day

Give Vitamin C before and after the shots

Use the DTaP consistently (this is mercury free)

Give a form of natural vitamin A - the RDA before the shots and give it continuously to keep the system strong

Separate the MMR into three shots NOT ONE starting with measles component at 12 -15 mos. Follow with mumps at 18-21 mos, and rubella at 24-27 months. A minimum of 6 month increments.

Monitor children for adverse reactions. Report these immediately. (NOTE: Doctors only have reported 10% of the vaccine related injuries or side effects. These are greatly under estimated and not reported to the CDC).

Consider giving hepatitis B vaccines to children older than 2 and not in daycare

Hold Varicella if not mandated by law until the child is 10-12 years of age if the child is not shown to be immune to chicken pox.

Consider checking vaccine titers before giving booster shots at 4-5 years of age. (this is a great idea! This is a blood test. Only 5% of the children need boosters - but we give them to all children! Your doctor should support you here!)

Keep children on a nutrient rich diet

Limit environmental exposure as much as possible

PRAY

Editorial: There is too much controversy here and not enough action. Write your congress persons and senate representatives and demand action to make vaccines safe for all children - not just a select group! WE are not vaccinating any more PERIOD. There are not ethics here because the people responsible for vaccination safety are illegally linked to the pharmaceutical companies making the vaccines. (OK, I will stop now - this makes me mad!!)

Dr. Kenneth Boch The Clinical Use of Transfer Factor in children with autism

See conference syllabus.

Dr. Woody McGinnis - autistic son

Metals & Autism - a focus on mercury
Primary metals that are issues: mercury, lead, cadmium, nickel, tin, and lead
Sources of metals to our kids

amalgams & fish

power plants and coal pollution

fluorescent street lights

batteries

medical and consumer (there are over 200 products with metals. READ LABELS)

FISH: 75 micrograms (millionth of a gram) per pound. Average 1 Tuna sandwich a week could give this to you! AVOID fish!

Metal toxicity may effect 60,000 people a year

Toxic Mechanisms

membrane damage

protein distortion

calcium block

nutrient depletion

oxidative distress

immune suppression

detoxifier depletion

Metal vulnerability

specific chemical composition

absorption and handling

exposure

age / gender / genetics

nutritional and immune status

stress and toxin levels

Guess what, Autism and metal toxicity have the SAME SYMPTOMS (this is not proven but a strong suggestion.) Editorial - this is CRAZY. There is not way to know if your child is truly autistic or damaged by metals!

DAN and CAN support this issue and are sponsoring additional research

Tunnel vision is a key marker for metal toxicity

Cell protectors - things we can do to help

glutothione

B6, magnesium and Zinc (B's and folic acid go together)

nutrients

Metalothionen (protein induced by ZINC = these are mercury and cadmium protectors.)

Tempted Cysteine

perspective 50-75 mg

exitotoxic properties

aggravated candidas ALL BAD! BE CAREFUL!

known auto oxidation may generate toxins

cysteine binds with mercury and goes to the brain

Taurine (great alternative)

low in autistics

acidosis loss 200-500mg day for kids

calcium absorption

brain and eye protection

Supplements that are key

Zinc is imperative - we must stay on top of this

Vitamin c - 250-1000 mg /day

Vitamin e - 150-250 IU daily

Selenum 50 mg day

Plenty of calcium (get from Kirkmans lab - 75% of all calcium supplements ADD METALS!!

Chelation Perspective - DMSA

encouraging

it may not help and could hurt some kids and make things significantly worse

strengthen child first

start very slow

PHF levels are high in autistics - this indicates a strong link between metals and autism.

Secretin Panel Dr. Bradstreet, Dr. Warner, Repligen Contact, Dr. Goldberg & another Dr.

Everyone must do an ATEC test w/ Dr. Rimland - no charge. It is the only test that gages childrens learning and growth during recovery. Shows an accurate depiction where they are.
Secretin: synthetic secretin is the best choice.
Some children take 1 - 3 doses to see any change
Dose given over 5 minute period
Long term goal: to get away from interveneous secretin to transdermal.
Seizures issues; Dr. Bradstreet - no side effects or seizures in all doses provided
Hyperactivity and stimming are the most common side affects. This typically calms down after 2-3 weeks and good results follow.
How long to take secretin: not sure. This may be similar to insulin needs
Thing that must be in place before secretin: GF CF diet, off all medications 1 week before and no antibiotics.

Dr. Mary Megson - www.megson.com

Her #1 goal - DO NO HARM - these are very fragile kids and we all need to proceed with caution
Theory regarding children with autism is that their neural pathways are blocked to the brain
They are not stupid and have a high IQ - they just have a geneotype that is susceptible markers to these issues. Markers and environmental issues push it a long to autism.
Markers include: diabetes, color blindness, night blindness, cancer, arthritis, thyroid, milk allergies, irritable bowl syndrome, and heart attacks in the family history
Natural secretin releases CCK which increases bile and vitamin absorption of A,D,E, and K
Vitamin A:
- promotes growth
- reproduction of retinol
- maintain epitherital cells (brain and eyes)
- immune function

Are these kids absorbing A,D,E,& K - no

NEED the 1tsp RDA cod liver oil every day

Doses: 2-5 yrs ½ tsp day

5-10 yrs ¾ tsp day

10+ yrs 1 tsp day

She feels autistic kids love to swim because of deep pressure
Clay colored stools = amino deficient / do analysis. Supplement w/ Taurine and possible glycine problems.
She recommends CCK sulfates supplements - use Epsom salts in baths daily
G Proteins switch on the cell wall for learning and memory
Vitamin A turns on T Cells to fight infection (asthma also gets better)

What happens to a 15-18 month year old is:

leaky gut

wheat and milk intolerance or allergy

immunity issues

reoccurrence of infections

typically Vitamin A deficient

THEN they get their MMR or other vaccine and NOW there is a problem

Fat soliable Vitamin A is extremely important
Yeast proteins work to block pathways as well
Senses are confused or out of order
G Proteins

modulate signals

have family histories

then the 15-18 mos MMR or DpT shot

These children produce too much adrenaline - exceedingly abnormal amounts - it is not normally modulated - They are LIVING Picasso.

By treating there immunity issues and supplementing correctly with Vitamin A and Omega 3 - we can move them to a better life.

Dr. John Pangborn autistic son

See conference syllabus
Extremely technical but worthwhile

Dr. Sudhar Gupta IVIG Treatment Therapies

Extremely technical but worthwhile

Dr. Paul Shattock autistic son

This was a humorous, accurate discussion of the medical communities view of ignoring autism vs treating autism. Paul Shattock is very witty - each slide had a picture of Pinochio or a flashing "RATS" sign across the screen. He had us laughing about very serious issues.

Gulf war was the most toxic war in history
The US is the land of the free - we are free to do what we are told
Vaccine related issues are there - the medical industry refuses to see them. Key evidence was presented in 1997 and has since been unrecognized.
Dr. Rimland quote "The medical establishment is the biggest enemy of autism since day 1" - BOY is he right here!
The Sunderland Protocol

Remove Casein over 3 weeks

Remove Gluten over 3 months

Test other food allergies and sensitivities (common foods that cause problems: corn, soy, tomatoes, avocado, beef.)

Test: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, allergies (IgG, IgE)

Parasitic Organism - yeasts and others

Supplement what the body needs NOT blindly! Common supplements needed are: Zinc, Calcium, magnesium, A, C, B1, B3 and B6.

Sulphation issues: use epsom salts

Enzyme activity: betaine hydrochoride

Fatty acids: evening primrose oil, fish oil, cod liver oil, Flax seed oil (do one new one every 30 days.)

L-Gluthamin - correct intestinal imbalance, intestinal nutrients

5-Hydroxy tryptophan (5HTP)

Get pigment free / phenols free

Salicylate - free

Megadose of B6 & Magnesium

Dimethylclycine (DMG)

Secretin

Lisa Lewis & Karyn Seroussi - Dietary Interventions - www.AutismNDI.com

Leaky gut issues set the stage for food allergies
Yeast free diet? Most say yes and see results

Yeast allergy or build up or Candida are the most common allergy

Pattern - GOOD candidates for GF CF Diet

genetic predisposition

load triggers abnormal immune

frequently ill and antibiotic use

candida or gut damage

inability to process gluten or casein

improperly digesting food and food then escape gut

Kids that respond to a GF CF diet

late on set autism (not born with it autism)

insensitivity to pain ALL RESPOND TO DIET VERY WELL

constipation and / or diarrhea MUST DO A 3 MO. MINIMUM ON DIET

self limited diet

Autism diet before intervention

carbo loading

milk over dosing

deep fried load

Why defend this diet? Why not get healthy?

How do you feed them & start?

start w/ GF / CF foods they already eat

replicate favorites in a GF / CF fashion

Try ethnic GF / CF foods

Switch it around: Breakfast for dinner and Dinner for breakfast

Be sneaky on getting nutrition into the diet

back to basic with unrefined foods

Buy in bulk and get a freezer

Child is a self limiter if:

eats only a few foods

wheat or dairy based is their diet

food type or consistency dependent

food eaten is more on appearance and less on taste

fussy regarding smell, texture or temperature (OT will help this)

Feed them / Deceive them!

study their liked foods and duplicate them GF / CF

Use GF / CF breading

Fry in oil (if they tolerate it)

Serve in fast food containers! (Most fast food chains will give you free, clean ones for deception purposes!)

Muffins, Snacks and Cookies - sneak in nutrition like:

extra eggs (if tolerated)

nuts - protein

protein powders

dried fruit - iron

flax - EFA's and fiber

calcium powder

Ideas

Make little foods for little hands

fun to eat and hold foods

Cookies

Add calcium

nuts

flaxseed powder

Are you baking impaired?

Lots of mixes (see www.AutismNDI.com for a list of great GF / CF vendors)

in spring watch and load up on passover foods (that are GF / CF)

Test for celiac disease

How long do you do this diet?

3 months minimum - longer for an older child

until the gut heals

FOREVER -

Diet Mistakes:

98% vs. 100% GF / CF diet is a big difference!

Trace amounts of the wrong foods make a big difference

When mistakes happen use dye free Benadryl or Alkaselser Gold, Enzemaid (Kirkman Labs) Serenade or Activated Charcoal

When starting the diet - do it over three period

Remember side affects are a good thing and the diet is working

Dr. Amy Holmes - (autistic son) Removal of Mercury as a Treatment for Autism

Mercury loves to live in soft tissues: liver, kidney, fat, GI tract or Brain

Test to find mercury posioning:

urine organic

hair test Note: several will show positives and 1-2 will show negatives!

urine prorphyme There is NO accurate test for mercury toxicity!!!

immune test

estoertic test

ARI www.autism.com/ari will have her complete findings and materials on the web site soon

Abnormal Mercury levels - Symptoms:

diluted pupils

sweaty hands and feet

knee jerks

slightly cross eyed

rashes or eczema

elevated heart rate

Slight estropia

Not found unless exposure to mercury is recent:

hi blood

hair in mercury

packed RBC mercury

hi urine mercury

Challenge test are useless for diagnosing mercury ! (This is contrary to other doctor inputs!)
Chelation drugs cannot challenge tightly bound mercury
Tightly bound mercury is making trouble for these kids - not the loosely bound mercury
Protocol for Mercury Removal

Stop mercury exposure

clear out loose mercury

Go in and get and clear out tightly bound mercury in the brain

Stop Exposure

remove amalgam fillings

stop all fish intake PERIOD

use thimersol free vaccines

watch thimersol exposure (ear drops, eye drops)

Remove Loosely bound Mercury:

use DMSA (safe for kids)

Half life of DMSA & Kinetics of mercury dictate dosing schedule - every 4 hours

Contrary to other doctors - DMSA does not cross the blood brain barrier to remove tightly bound mercury

Small frequent doses every four hours

round the clock every four hours for three days

off four days

round the clock every four hours for three days

off four days - repeat for SIX MONTHS

Removal of Tightly Bounded Mercury:

Use Alpha Lipodic acid

This will cross the blood brain barrier

DMSA aids in elimination

Dose low levels every four hours (same as loosely bound mercury removal process for 6 months to two years!!!!)

Side Effects

increased negative behaviors (big time)

diarrhea

nausea

fatigue

Uncommon side affects

declining blood counts

liver and kidney impairment

copper retention

Duration of Treatment

Loosely bound: 1-6 months DMSA alone 3 days on / 4 off

Tightly bound: 6 mos - 2 years DMSA + ALA 3 days on / 4 off

Improvements

language

self help

interaction

no self stimmy behaviors

gain attention and focus

decreased self abusive behaviors

EDITORIAL: This is conflicting information then what Dr. Woody McGinnis provided. I am concerned that there are NO accurate tests, the symptoms are TOO CLOSE to autism (so what is it - autism or mercury toxicity??? AND no long term tests have been done on young children on the affects of chelation. Chelation has been around for children only 2 years!) We are waiting a minimum of six months to look further into this issue!

Dr. Andrew Wakefield Vaccine Connection to Autism

Dr. Wakefields speak is about the same as in the June conference. Please see June conference notes for details on what his studies are based on. These notes contain new information.
It is estimated that 3⁄4 of children with autism have bowel and intestinal issues
July 20^th - autistic entercolitis has become official in the medical journals (YES!! Two years ago - this was not an excepted term!) Its is now a real syndrome.
More and more of his research is pointing to a vaccine link to environmental autism. (this does not apply to children who appear to be autistic from day one.) He asked how many in the audience felt their child was NOT autistic from day one - 80% of the crowd stood up.
He is preparing more and more proof that vaccines are an issue. The medical community is beyond reluctant and hostile and reviewing this further. Studies are being done on the outside of the establishment - not on the inside.

He does not have a cure for MMR removal in the autistic child.

WHERE TO BUY
