The following is a link to an article about Autism and genes in the Health New Headlines forum.

My question always is going to be "What cause this genetic mutations? Genetic diseases?" I can't take the answer that is natural evolution.

Here is an interesting article that relates autism to both a genetic component and to vaccinations. I just came across this article because I was researching the ill-effects of fluoride. I am not familiar enough with your forum to know whether or not this article has already been posted. Hopefully this is something new to you all and helpful:

thanks for that link wasabi !

very important info in that testimony yet sadly nothing seems to have come of it
and the vaccinations continue at a clip

I'm still waiting for someone to say "autism" and "Arnold-Chiari Malformation" in the same sentence--or even paragraph.

How true, Lizard!

I actually don't think that vaccinations were involved in my son's autism, but I really don't know. I see his situation as being a combination of several things, one is genetics, another is perhaps genetic predisposition to a certain type of brain injury caused by autoimmune reaction to an infection and also some brain structure anomalies perhaps caused by one or either of these but I don't know for sure and probably never will. I am sure of the first one... genetics.

As I said, I don't know much about autism. From what I have read, there is good evidence to support the idea that "Arnold-Chiari Malformation" does cause autism. But I don't think that "Arnold-Chiari Malformation" alone can account for the 20-fold or more rise in autism in the past 40 years.

I presume most parents will continue to have their children vaccinated. One thing that the consumer health article mentions is the helpful role of the cis form of vitamin A. If autism can be caused by vaccinations of genetically predisposed children, I'm thinking that it might be helpful for nursing mothers to take cis vitamin A supplements and give cis vitamin A supplements to the children who are old enough to receive it. This way, when they get the vaccines the children will have adequate levels of cis vitamin A in their bodies. Could this possibly reduce the damaging effects of the vaccines on G protein pathways?

Is this idea totally silly, or is it worth investigating?

The article also mentions that fluoride seems to worsens the effects of autism. This is because fluoride also seems to have damaging effects on G protein pathways. It is possible that fluoride along with any aluminum and mercury in vaccines would worsen the damaging effects of the vaccine material itself. Fluoride passes through the placenta, so babies would be exposed to fluoride if the mother received a fluoride containing anesthesia or sedative during delivery. Actually, even without the vaccine material, there is evidence that fluoride along with aluminum and mercury can damage brain tissue all on their own.

There is also formalin in some of the vaccines as wellIm a newbie here with a 11 yr old in the spectrum
