Autism, could it be preventable?

NBC Nightly News, the other night had a segment about Autism and how 1 in 50 children are now being diagnosed. Having delt with a candida infection personally (from extreme use of Antibiotics ), and reading about heavy metal toxicity (mercury, etc.), parasites, etc., and the SAD, it seems pretty obvious to me why the #'s keep rising every year! Last time i heard it was 1 in 77, now 1 in 50! It's because AMERICANS ARE EXTREMELY TOXIC!
The GAPS book, Gut & Psychology Syndrome, as well as numerous autism forums online, detail how autistic children are suffering from at least heavy metal toxicity, candida overgrowth and a leaky gut. Once the children are treated for these conditions, they greatly improve on the spectrum, if they're not cured completely. But many parents are unaware of these treatments, and only know about the GF/CF diet, which these forums would tell them, doesn't go nearly far enough. (Of course, the money is in selling the parents GF/CF foods!)
A few weeks back, there was a study I saw on another news segment stating that folic acid taken by the mother, is proven to reduce the risk of autism by some big %. I scream BS, because folic acid is added to all kinds of foods, and has been for a long time, and yet the #'s keep rising. When will the AMA fess up that autism is due to heavy metal toxicity (particularly mercury), poor gut flora being passed down from generation to generation, getting worse each time, as well as leaky gut and high levels of candida in a HUGE % of our population (due to the overuse of Antibiotics ).
From my studies, it looks to me like seriously detoxing prior to conceiving, could go a long way towards curbing this insane trend. I'm curious as to others' thoughts?

This is a reply to # 2,048,059Someone should research Dectin -1 polymorphisms in autistic and ADHD children and their mothers. It's possible that the inflammation associated with candidiasis could cause abnormal fetal brain growth, or alternatively simply causes cognitive disability directly all by itself.
If they find that to be true, the Feds may make an effort to find an actual cure for candidiasis. - Re: Autism, could it be preventable? joegrane

Thank you for the post. You make excellent points.
These statistics support your thought.
Autism Research Institute treatment parent ratings 2009
http://www.autism.com/index.php/treatment_ratings_asd
"Detox. (chelation)" 74% report "got better", 3% report "got worse", 23% report "no effect"
The 74% rating is the best of all of the many dozens of listed interventions.
Mainstream medicine is in denial because they are part of the problem! They inject kids and pregnant moms with vaccines containing mercury as a preservative. They put "silver" Amalgam fillings in our teeth which contain 50% mercury! These contribute to the overall body burden of mercury. Mercury then damages the body's detox system and levels of other toxins rise.
This old group at yahoo has been helping parents with detox of their autistic kids for over ten years.

There are many remarkable reports at the website of one of their long time moderators.

You'll get a feel for what these parents endure from this powerful update from one of their active members.

Folic acid feeds into the folate cycle which feeds the methylation cycle which feeds transsulfuration. These are very important for production of the body's natural detox chemicals. So there is a plausible link between folic acid and detox. The use of methylfolate might actually be even more effective for some people since it directly feeds into the methylation cycle. There is a theory that some people don't convert folic acid into methyl folate as robustly as others.
The issue of detox of a woman who might become pregnant is very tricky. There have been many discussions of this topic in the yahoo chelation groups. Please become informed before messing with detox supplements or Amalgam removal! This post is one of the more memorable ones on the topic.

Jan, the moderator of Yahoo's Fight Autism and Win group as well as coauthor of a book by that title addresses the issue of the increase in the rate of autism at her site.
