About this episode
This episode discusses the potential root causes of autism related to detoxification issues and genetic factors.
AUTSIM - What is a potential ROOT CAUSE of Autism? Can it be helped? What I see again and again is an inability to detox caused by failures in the Transsulfuration Pathway. This is your pathway that converts homocysteine to glutathione. If you have MTHFR or 16 other Gene SNPs, you will have problems with this pathway. In little children with these SNPs, when exposed to high levels of toxins, such a mercury found in certain vaccines, or even acetaminophen (which drastically decreases glutathione levels), they will not be able to detox these toxins fast enough. They have MAJOR inflammatory responses that may cause permanent damage. Functional Glutathione and the balancing of your methylation is the ONLY way to help and prevent it. Take a listen.
