Get FITT detox for autism
Heavy Metal Toxicity & Autism
Many of the symptoms seen in autism have been associated with heavy metal toxicity. Elevated levels of Mercury, Cadmium and Lead have been found to have accumulated in people’s bodies adding to the general toxic load.
A number of treatments including heavy metal detoxification have proven to be helpful in restoring good helath. An accumulation of heavy metals may often reduce immune function leading to frequent bacterial and viral infections.
There is much evidence showing that heavy metal toxicity is an important factor in people suffering from autism. Exposure can occur in many ways, a few examples are given below:
▲ Mercury is released into the air from power stations burning coal;
this air is then inhaled.
▲Babies get exposed to mercury from the mother’s dental amalgam fillings.
▲Vaccinations of course are another source of mercury.
▲53% of autistic children are born to mothers who are blood type Rhesus negative and who received the antibody immune globulin which up until 2001 contained mercury. The injection currently may contain traces of mercury from the early part of the manufacture process.
