The Cause and Treatment of Autism
By Dr. Janine Romaner
Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder are primarily visible in all facets of behavioral
and learning disabilities. However, because there are also a number of chronic physical
weaknesses and deficiencies, there can be extensive positive changes developmentally
and socially by improving the physical health of your child.
There may be a hereditary
predisposition to Autism which can be triggered by hazardous neurotoxins ingested
or injected, originating from environmental and other sources.
The incidence of Autism has increased to epidemic proportions.
In the US alone Autism
cases have exploded from 1 in 10,000 in 1985 to 1 in 150 today. California alone
reports a 273 percent increase since 1988. Having worked extensively with children
diagnosed with Aspbergers (mild Autism), Autism or various developmental delay syndromes,
I am convinced that Autism is largely an iatrogenic condition. "Iatrogenic" means
treatment induced.
Increasingly there is evidence that childhood vaccinations can
pose a serious risk when administered to an infant or baby, and can trigger the onset
of Autism.
Unfortunately, this topic is riddled with politics and financial implications,
with deliberate attempts to hide the seriousness of the vaccine-
Vaccines are injections that contain weakened amounts of the disease
germ the injection is meant to protect against. The premise is that this stimulates
the body to produce antibodies, or proteins that defend the body from an invasion
by harmful germs. The idea of vaccines to prevent disease can be traced back to 1796.
In 1943 Leo Kanner (child psychologist) announced his discovery of 11 cases of a
new mental disorder, shortly thereafter known as Autism.
As stated by Neil Miller
in VACCINES, ARE THEY REALLY SAFE & EFFECTIVE? "These first cases of autism in the
United States occurred at a time when the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine was
becoming increasingly available.
By the 1950s and 1960s, parents from all over the
country were seeking help for their autistic children. The growing numbers of children
suffering from this new illness directly coincided with the growing popularity of
the mandated vaccination programs during these same years…
"The same correlations
between autism and childhood vaccination programs may be found in other countries
as well."
Parents are often told that nothing can be done other than putting their
child on drugs. THIS IS NOT TRUE. When the underlying triggers, weaknesses and deficiencies
are identified through tests, and are addressed, we repeatedly see improvement in
the child's learning ability, speech, social skills, immune system function and overall
physical and emotional health. The younger the child begins treatment, the better.

Some of my patients have even had their "Autism" diagnosis removed by their former
medical doctor. Most Autistic children have also sadly experienced much fear and
invasion in health practitioners' offices, and seldom are treated like the beautiful
beings they are. So it is understandable that they would tense in fear, anticipating
being pricked or having to ingest medications that can have harmful side effects.
However, it is very possible, as we have witnessed, for the children to enjoy returning
for health-
Dozens of mothers
have brought their children in for an initial appointment and said, "My child lost
his/her speech right after the MMR vaccine." Coincidence? Let me give you some information,
and you decide.
From THE NATURAL MEDICINE GUIDE TO AUTISM, by Stephanie Marohn: "Age
15 to 18 months is when children get the MMR vaccination. So, just at the time when
they are experiencing maximum cranial growth and development, especially in the speech
areas, they are given a vaccine, which is a potential trauma and a potential poison
to the system. All of the components of the vaccine are foreign substances… The vaccine
often causes a low-

Thimerosol is not the only vaccine-
While there are extensive studies
on dangers posed, here is one brief quote from, VACCINES, ARE THEY REALLY SAFE AND
EFFECTIVE, by Neil Miller: "The diptheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccines are usually
combined into a single formula (DTP or DTaP). Components of this triple shot are
'stabilized' using formaldehyde -
Neil Miller also writes these statistics:
Only 30% of the doctors and
nurses in the United States get flu shots.
Do doctors think the Hepatitis vaccine
is necessary? Only 13% say "yes."
Do doctors report vaccine reactions? Miller's studies
show that 18% do not.

By "screening"
the organs and systems using minute electrical stimulation (similar to an EKG), we
can determine energetic levels of toxicity, organ function, metabolic and neurotransmitter
imbalances, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and locate exact underlying toxins.
Natural homeopathic and herbal formulations, as well as specific pharmaceutical grade
vitamin, mineral and enzyme nutrients are tested to create a personalized program,

SOME UNDERLYING CONTRIBUTORS COMMON TO AUTISM
Some of the chronic underlying contributors
commonly found can be any combination of the following:
Ø Infant vaccinations (DPT,
MMR and others).
Ø Excessive yeast often stemming from antibiotic treatment for repeated
ear or other infections. If there is underlying metal toxicity in the system, yeast
often develops in order to protect the organs and nervous system from the damage
metals can cause. Yeast overgrowth releases toxins that can slow brain function down.
Ø Metal Toxicity: elevated levels of heavy metals can impair brain or nervous system
function. Metals can be ingested from a variety of sources. One common source is
vaccinations in which thimerosol (methyl mercury) has been used as a preservative.
A less significant source can come from amalgams (silver fillings) in the pregnant
mother's mouth. Metal toxins from amalgams (an amalgamation of 5 dissimilar toxic
metals) can cross the placenta barrier and be absorbed by the fetus.
Ø Neurotransmitter Imbalances
Ø Unusual blood flow patterns in the brain
Ø Nutritional Deficiencies: some of the children are very particular about what they
will eat. If there is overgrowth of yeast in the intestines, nutrient absorption
is blocked in an already digestive-
Ø Digestive Enzyme Deficiencies: This is revealed in pancreatic, liver and intestinal
function primarily, but can be substantially improved or corrected with the appropriate
combination of digestive enzymes or alkaline salts, diet, and re-
Ø Food Allergies: These often originate from a porous lining of the intestines through
which food particles escape, causing antibodies to form.
Ø Acidic blood, rather than alkaline
Ø Other toxins such as pesticides, environmental pollutants, and more.

CLEAN FOOD GROWS A HEALTHY BODY
Supplying your child with sufficient
nutrients is crucial for healthy mental, emotional and physical function. This is
especially true while a child is growing their body.
It is also vital to avoid processed
foods toxic with pesticides, herbicides, dyes, and chemicals. Most parents are unaware
of the serious damage to essential organs caused by these neurotoxins, and many famous
fast food chains deliberately target their marketing to children beginning at age
2 ½.
Healthful eating habits may prove to be a learning process for families presently
unaware of the severe effects on health caused by neurotoxins.
My approach is to
assist each child and family with the next step(s) they can take, and at the pace
they can be taken. I believe there is a kernel of gold in the hearts of each of these
children, and it continues to be my privilege to work with them.
