Increasing Developmental Disability Percentages
Increasing Developmental Disability Percentages, Notably In ADHD And Autism, Result In Concern In The US
Date: 7/4/2011 9:34:32 PM ( 13 y ) ... viewed 44159 times The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has not too long ago performed a study that concerned tracking the progress of developmental disability percentages amongst United States young children, along a period of 11 years, from 1997 to 2008. Astonishingly, though healthcare therapies for prevention and handling of the countless disabilities, like autism, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), have improved considerably over the years, the research noted a continuous increase in the prevalence of these issues, whilst approximately 12.8% of United States youngsters experienced a specific form of developmental disability in the 1997-1999 interval, that amount rose to 15% in the interval between 2006 and 2008, and that indicates roughly ten million impacted US children.
This staggering figure has led Dr. Coleen Boyle, head of the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities at CDC, to claim that the research is simply showing a health problem which needs to be tackled, and that "Children are our future, and many of these children can grow up to be very productive citizens, so we need to invest in programs to help facilitate their development." The examination reveals the actuality that ADHD and autism are the foremost issues to have elevated in prevalence amongst kids.
While autism diagnoses have jumped 0.19% in the 2006-2008 period of time, when contrasted to to 1997-1999, and ADHD diagnoses have grown from 5.7 to 7.6 between the mentioned periods, many additional developmental issues that may be managed or halted are also impacting kids.
Dr. Boyle's study has taken note of numerous mental disabilities, learning problems, seizures, cerebral palsy, in addition to many other debilitating disorders that have affected children in the 1997-2008 time span, according to parents' reports.
The specific causes of these deficiencies are still the subject of much controversy, as the scientific community has yet to attain an agreement. Even though there are crystal clear indicators that autism, for instance, has a major genetic component, numerous elements like inadequate nutrition, heavy metal poisoning, fetal exposure to harmful substances, pesticides and drug use are quoted as feasible causes.
This shortage of scientific Agreement, and the lack of clarity concerning the dynamics of autism and its many forms, has proven to be a great reason for many controversial ideas. One of the important ones says that one can see a positive correlation between the beginning of autism and the vaccinations toddlers go through as part of typical immunization against hepatitis, polio and many other possible infections.
Whilst the medical community rejects these statements and endorses the use of medication to target the signs and symptoms of autism, many real life examples have proven that starting a healthy, natural lifestyle based on a raw food vegan diet which strives to rejuvenate the good bacteria in your gut, aid the immune system and cleanse the system, can prevent, and in some instances, also reverse autism in its earlier stages.
