Did you realise that autism has increased in the USA from 1992 to 2002 by 1700%? The Daily Mail (July 9th 2007) a UK newspaper reported that one in fifty eight children now have autism. It has been said by some that this explosive rate of autism is time-related to the increased numbers of vaccinations: There has been much debate centred on the assertions made that autism is linked to vaccines. Many doctors, scientists and parents of autistic children have voiced concerns.

The way I see it, the bottom line is if governmental health authorities insist on giving so many vaccinations to children (some thirty-odd) then this toxic assault on such a young and developing nervous system could well have side effects...The whole vaccination thing should be at least treated with much suspicion when considering its history has been shown to be rooted in monumental fraud.

Two famous impassioned parents, actors Jim Carrey and partner Jenny McCarthy continue to voice their opinion and demand to seek answers in their campaign for the truth about vaccines as parents of a child who was considered autistic.

It has been shown, however, that autism may be reversed using appropriate naturopathic measures.

Autistic individuals do not have a gene that is normally present to detoxify the body. This can be shown, for example, in samples taken from an autistic individual's hair, which shows a much higher heavy metal concentration than normal. Heavy metals can get into their cells and cause havoc... One highly effective solution to this is chelation therapy. This involves using compounds called chelating agents that bind to heavy metals such as mercury and lead which can then be removed them from the body.

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy managed to successfully reverse their son's autism by using chelation therapy. In addition to this they gave him a diet that was organic food free of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. They also made sure that the diet was casein free, gluten free and contained anti- fungals to prevent yeast growth. Other supplies given contained B vitamins such as vitamin B-12 and a good intake of omega-3 fats.

With this, play and speech therapies, their son Evan recovered from his autism. There are many good websites that give much detail on how to use naturopathic methods to reverse autism.
