Autism is a debilitating disease. The fact that it affects children makes the impact even more heartbreaking. As we have seen, there is a considerable controversy as to isolating what the root cause is and how to address the problem. Some professionals claim it is merely a genetic propensity and while we can identify genes that might be the cause, we do not have the ability to alter those genes and stop them from manifesting the disease.
Others believe strongly that there is nutritional component, or rather, a lack of nutrition component. Malnutrition due to poor eating habits certainly appears to play a major role in many of today's childhood diseases including Diabetes and ADHD. None should wonder that eating foods rich in carbohydrates, preservatives and other chemicals, and not eating adequate amounts of fresh vegetables and fruits containing natural vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, digestive enzymes, etc. will have a profound affect on a growing fetus.
With the rise of childhood obesity, and the lack of nutrition in most prepared foods that form the basis of a child's diet in the U.S. today, the brain, which requires a major share of nutrition consumed each day, will undoubtedly become starved of the very energy nutrients to maintain proper health.
As we have explained, at the root is efficient energy production. The brain's 100 billion brain cells (neurons), and about ten times that many, or one trillion, support cells (glia) all require oxygen on a second-by-second basis. Poor nutrition affects the body's ability to process oxygen as well as to control the natural by-product of energy production we call R.O.S. or "reactive oxygen species". (Another term for R.O.S. is "free radicals".) Free radicals, it is believed, can damage DNA. Therefore, poor nutrition, and the body's increased inability to deal with free radicals, may also have an adverse affect on the brain and exacerbate autism's symptoms.
As we have explained, early childhood immunizations are not, in themselves, possible coconspirators in permitting this disease to establish a foothold in the brains of children. However, it is clear that the levels of Mercury present in the vaccines is high enough to present a cytotoxic response that may temporarily or permanently damage brain cells. Why the F.D.A. and the medical community have not shown greater concern about this is a mystery. Conspiracy theorists can make all sorts of claims about profiteering from the pharmaceutical and medical community, though there is no proof that this is true. Yet, the manufacturers of these vaccines are aware of the toxic side effects of mercury.
Here is what the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has published about the dangers of mercury poisoning:
"The nervous system is very sensitive to all forms of mercury. Methylmercury and metallic mercury vapors are more harmful than other forms, because more mercury in these forms reaches the brain. Exposure to high levels of metallic, inorganic, or organic mercury will permanently damage the brain, kidneys, and developing fetus. Effects on brain functioning may result in irritability, shyness, tremors, changes in vision or hearing, and memory problems. Short-term exposure to high levels of metallic mercury vapors may cause effects including lung damage, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, increases in blood pressure or heart rate, skin rashes, and eye irritation.
"How does mercury affect children? Very young children are more sensitive to mercury than adults. Mercury in the mother's body passes to the fetus and may accumulate there. It can also pass to a nursing infant through breast milk. However, the benefits of breast feeding may be greater than the possible adverse effects of mercury in breast milk. Mercury's harmful effects that may be passed from the mother to the fetus include brain damage, mental retardation, incoordination, blindness, seizures, and inability to speak. Children poisoned by mercury may develop problems of their nervous and digestive systems, and kidney damage." (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, 1825 Century Blvd, Atlanta, GA 30345 CDC Contact Center: 800-CDC-INFO)
It only seems logical that if infants are going to be immunized with vaccines laden with mercury to prevent possible future diseases, that every effort should be made to help detoxify the infants brain of this mercury.
Many "experts" argue vehemently that oxygen will cause more damage to the brain. This is a silly argument. The brain requires more than one forth of the oxygen we breathe. It is the body's inability to efficiently neutralize metabolic wastes that may cause problems. Supplementing a child's diet with plant vitamins, plant minerals, essential amino acids, natural enzymes and healthy foods will minimize any possible damage. In fact, nutritional supplementation in combination with oxygen therapies may become the catalysts for substantial positive outcomes. Certainly the initial clinical research bears some truth to this combined approach.
Dr. Gary W. Goldstein, president and CEO of the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, which specializes in children's developmental problems, agrees: "Here there is no scientific rationale, and there's actually a school of thought developing that ... breathing in too much oxygen can actually damage brain tissue."
Kirsten Scharnberg, writing in the Baltimore Sun, added: "In the case of children with autism, considered the fastest-growing developmental disability in the U.S. today, advocates claim some stunning results: transforming nonverbal children into fluent speakers; helping children hypersensitive to outside stimuli become calm enough to attend public schools; changing kids once adverse to any personal interaction or touching into affectionate toddlers."

"Oxygen is needed in the body. We can be without food and water for a lengthy time.
We can be without oxygen only for a few seconds...it is the spark of life."
Dr. Charles H. Farr, M.D., Ph.D.: O2 Therapies
"Oxidation is the source of life.
Its lack causes impaired health or disease; its cessation, death."
Dr. Eugene Blass, Ph.D.: Oxygen Therapy: Its Foundation, Aim & Result
"All chronic pain, suffering and diseases are caused from a lack of oxygen at the cell level."
Dr. Arthur C. Guyton, M.D.: The Textbook on Medical Physiology
"Oxygen plays a pivotal role in the proper functioning of the immune system."
Dr. Parris M. Kidd, Ph.D.: Antioxidant Adaptation
Oxygen plays a vital role in proper metabolic functions, blood circulation, the assimilation of nutrients, digestion and the elimination of cellular and metabolic wastes.
Sufficient oxygen helps the body in its ability to rebuild itself and maintain a strong and healthy immune system. You know how important water, vitamins, minerals and enzymes are to your health and vitality. Although you can actually exist without food for about 40 days, and water for about seven days, without oxygen, life ceases to exist in only minutes.

What happens if your brain loses some oxygen?

Brain cells start to die


Is there such a thing where someone can feel like there is no oxygen in their brain?

yes. when someone feels light headed or dizzy, that is a sign of the lack of oxygen to the brain. since your blood is what carries oxygen, anytime there is a loss of blood to someones brain it does not get enough oxygen and that is when people pass out.


What will happen to a person who loses too much oxygen and is then revived?

You have established in the question that too much oxygen has been lost, so this means that there will be some degree of impairment due to brain damage. How much impairment will depend on how little oxygen the brain received, over how long a period, and on the temperature of the brain.


If caught by surprise and suffocated how long would it take an adult to pass out?

Oxygen is needed to keep the brain functioning. Once the oxygen is cut off, in a matter of seconds a person and pass out.


What does too much carbon dioxide do?

Prevents your brain from receiving enough oxygen causing you to pass out which can be fatal.


Why does locking your knees make you pass out?

It blocks the blood flow in your body causing a lack of oxygen to your brain.


Why does capillary change color as it passes by your body cells?

Capillaries change color as they pass by body cells as the blood they contain loses oxygen. Oxygen-rich blood has a brighter color than oxygen-poor blood.


What causes a person to have a brain gray out not quite a black out?

To the extent of my understanding, a gray-out is caused by oxygen deprivation to the brain. When a person blacks out, he or she loses consciousness completely. A person can gray out without blacking out if their brain is lacking oxygen for a period not quite long enough to cause unconsciousness, such as in a high-G roll or loop in a plane when the gravitational force sucks the blood from the brain.


How much need the oxygen human body?

Because oxygen is used to burn glucose, the fuel preferred by the brain. At rest, you use about 20% of the oxygen you breathe to keep your brain running.


Can you safely choke someone till they pass out?

Safely? No. You can do it, but it's not safe. You pass out because of lack of oxygen to the brain. Anytime the brain becomes hypoxic you run the risk of minor to severe brain damage. Many people have died because of this practice and they are usually teenagers.


Will you pass out before you die when holding your breath?

Yes you will pass out before you die from holding your breath. Your brain wont be getting oxygen so it will temporarily shut down but when you pass out you will begin to breath again.


How does lack of oxygen to the brain cause seizures?

The brain needs oxygen in order to function. A lack of oxygen to the brain can cause brain damage. Brain damage can result in seizures.
