Autism is a complex mental condition that affects children in early childhood. So far, there is no one who has provided a comprehensive explanation of this disease. This post will provide some of the core principles of autism.
As stated by the CDC, recently diagnosed people with autism should not be laboratory tested. This includes allergy testing, celiac antibodies, neurochemical or immunologic abnormalities, intestinal permeability, vitamin levels, stool analysis, mitochondrial disorders, urinary peptides, erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase studies, and thyroid function tests.
This entire list includes some basic tests, but the same applies to those which are more complex ones such as glyphosate or nagalase.
Do not be surprised if your doctor thinks you are a bit strange because one very harmful chemical affects every sphere of people’s lives. It’s glyphosate, a highly dangerous compound that resides almost everywhere. How it affects the brain can explain why this condition is presented as such an acute regression.
Glyphosate Resides Almost Everywhere
Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides.
The top genetically modified foods in the U.S. include corn, soy, cotton, papaya, alfalfa, sugar beets, and canola. Around 70% of processed foods contain GMO ingredients.
There can be an even greater percentage because the presence of genetically modified ingredients is not labeled on food. After the introduction of GMO glyphosate-resistant crops in the 1990s, the use of glyphosate significantly increased.
Every year, more than 1.2 billion pounds of pesticides are being used in U.S. agriculture. Not long ago, Food Democracy Now warned people of the high levels of this herbicide in some of the kids’ favorite foods, including Ritz crackers, Cheerios, Kellogg’s cornflakes, Oreo, and many others.
Glyphosate and AMPA (its toxic metabolite) were found in more than 75% of the rain and air samples from the Mississippi Delta.
Many independent research organizations have found the presence of glyphosate in all prenatal vitamins, childhood vaccinations, newborn formulas, and breast milk.
Glyphosate – History of Disease
According to the World Health Organization, the Round-Up pesticide not only can cause fertility problems, stomach inflammation, liver damage, or endocrine problems but it can lead to autism. Some European studies have emphasized these facts:
- International Agency for Research on Cancer, WHO
“…in a long-term combined study of toxicity and carcinogenicity in rats given glyphosate at normal doses, inflammation was observed in the stomach mucosa…” - The University of Caen, Institute of Biology, Paris, France
“Taken together, these data suggest that Roundup exposure may affect human reproduction and fetal development in case of contamination.” - Bradberry SM et al;Toxicol Rev 23(3): 159-67 (2004)
“Ingestion of > 85 ml of the concentrated formulation is likely to cause significant toxicity in adults. Gastrointestinal corrosive effects, renal and hepatic impairment are also frequent and usually reflect reduced organ perfusion.” - The University of Caen, Institute of Biology, Paris, France
“despite its relatively benign reputation, Roundup was among the most toxic herbicides and insecticides tested.” - International Agency for Research on Cancer, WHO
“Case-control studies in the USA, Canada, and Sweden reported increased risk for NHL (non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma) associated with exposure to glyphosate.” - California Environmental Protection Agency/ Department of Pesticide Regulation
“Effects at 30,000 ppm included central lobular hepatocyte hypertrophy in males, central lobular hepatocyte necrosis in males, chronic interstitial nephritis in males, and proximal tubule epithelial basophilia and hypertrophy in females.” - WHO/ International Program on Chemical Safety: Environmental Health Criteria 159, Glyphosate, (1994).
“The results/ suggest that acute toxicity at lethal doses may occur due to the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation.” - Cattani D et al; Toxicology 320: 34-45 (2014)
“Taken together, these results demonstrated that Roundup might lead to excessive extracellular glutamate levels and consequently to glutamate excitotoxicity and oxidative stress in rat hippocampus” - Richard S et al; Environ Health Perspect 113 (6): 716 -20 (2005)
“The study tested the effects of glyphosate and Roundup at the lower nontoxic concentrations on aromatase, the enzyme responsible for estrogen synthesis. The glyphosate-based herbicide disrupts aromatase activity and mRNA levels…” - WHO, IARC Monographs Volume 112: evaluation of five organophosphate insecticides and herbicides (March 20, 2015)
“Glyphosate also caused DNA and chromosomal damage in human cells… one study in community residents reported increases in blood markers of chromosomal damage (micronuclei) after glyphosate formulations were sprayed nearby.” - PMID: 17486286
“Roundup exposure may affect human reproduction and fetal development in case of contamination…” - PMID: 1257596
“Glyphosate is toxic to human placental JEG3 cells within 18 hours with concentrations lower than those found with agricultural use…” - PMID: 22120950
“Maternal exposure to glyphosate disturbed the masculinization process in the offspring and promoted behavioral changes and histological and endocrine problems in reproductive parameters… - PMID: 22120950
“Roundup… could contribute to Sertoli cell disruption in spermatogenesis that could have an impact on male fertility…”
How is Glyphosate Related to Autism
Does glyphosate lead to autism?
According to the data on the prevalence of autism, thirty years ago, the autism rate was 1:2000 while nowadays it is 1:48. Stephanie Seneff, the senior MIT researcher, claims that these rates will continue to rise and nearly half of all children will be autistic in 2025. This is not a result of a better diagnosis of autism, but the increased rate of GMO crops.
Seneff found out that glyphosate disrupts the liver enzyme P450, an important enzyme that detoxifies drugs and toxins that the body comes in contact with.
On the right picture, you can notice Bayer’s Prenatal 1 results, which show glyphosate contamination, tested by Microbe Inotech.
The production of vitamin D, an important vitamin that fights off disease-provoking proteins, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases involves P450. This compound is named globulin component macrophage-activating factor (GC-MAF).
When some pesticides are found in the body, the immune system is unable to produce this compound. This is one of the most potent mechanisms of defense, which the body naturally produces it. Unfortunately, glyphosate targets this specific P450 compound.
Zen Honeycutt, from Moms Across America states that glyphosate is found in newborn formula and childhood vaccines. So, he tested these prenatal vitamins and the results were alarming. These prenatal vitamins were loaded with pesticide-laden vitamins.
Glyphosate was even found in breast milk as a result of the mother’s poor diet habits. It was also present in a bottle-feeding diet because of the soy/corn-based formula.
Enfamil’s Prosobee contained 170 ppb of glyphosate. The California EPA discovered that:
“Effects at 30,000 ppm included central lobular hepatocyte hypertrophy in males, central lobular hepatocyte necrosis in males, chronic interstitial nephritis in males, and proximal tubule epithelial basophilia and hypertrophy in females.”- The University of Caen, Institute of Biology, Paris, France
“Taken together, these data suggest that Roundup exposure may affect human reproduction and fetal development in case of contamination.
Glyphosate kills 5.2 parts per million white shrimp (approximately 6-week human embryo).
However, human embryos are more developed than shrimp, but it is important to point out how toxic and dangerous this chemical is.
Prenatal vitamins, poor diet habits, and flu shots during pregnancy increase the amounts of glyphosate in the body.
Most autistic children experience gastrointestinal problems before they have the glyphosate-containing MMR vaccine.
So, do these children have liver problems or are they unable to produce GC-MAF enzymes to reduce inflammations? It couldn’t be worse than injecting a high level of glyphosate into an already weakened immune system.
This bypasses the liver function and the toxins go directly to the brain.
Glyphosate – Brain, Extremely Toxic Combination
According to a breakthrough finding, the P450 enzyme is easily destroyed by glyphosate. This process is especially prevalent in the brain.
The body produces an endocannabinoid anandamide neurotransmitter, which enables the neighboring neurons to run smoothly.
The brain contains over 100 billion neurons, which transmit over 20 quadrillion bits of information every second. These neurotransmitters play an important role in this particular process.
One specific neurotransmitter is anandamide also known as endocannabinoid. It takes part in 13 different regions of the brain and it is involved in the neurotransmission process in regard to depression, pain, appetite, fertility and cognition, and memory. For proper execution of these actions, it binds tightly to the CB1 receptor.
According to a recent study at the University of Michigan, the P450 enzyme is highly expressed in the 13 brain regions in case of stress and inflammation due to alcoholism.
This is a result of the conversion of Anandamide to a potent anti-inflammatory molecule 5,6-EET-EAs. It acts as “super CBD” because it activates the CB2 receptor 300 times more than the CB1 receptor and is 1000 times stronger than the CBD. This is a revolutionary discovery because scientists used to believe that P450 detoxifies but it turned out that Anandamide-converted 5,6-EET-EAs activates CB2 receptors more actively.
These CB2 receptors activate microglia and kill the compounds which cause the inflammation.
These heavy metals include aluminum, copper, mercury, and many others.
Can you imagine what happens in the body when a child gets this particular MMR vaccine, full of glyphosate and neurotoxins such as aluminum? So, by pesticide injection, you bypass the liver and this destroys the 5,6-EET-EAs enzyme thus affecting the brain’s work.
In this case, the brain can defend itself from these toxins and that’s why in autism, it is permanently occupied with heavy metals. Plasma, hair, and urine tests of autistic children indicate an alarming amount of heavy metals. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend these tests.
So, a glyphosate injection via CDC-scheduled vaccines activates neurons and inflammation. It does not clear the toxins, but glyphosate activates neurons along with glutamate. In this case, they both serve as neurotransmitters. Because glyphosate is a glycine mimetic, it can activate brain cells.
The United States Patent 6630507, points out that cannabinoids from plants act as antioxidants and that’s why cannabis oil can reduce inflammation in the brain. So, cannabinoids protect the brain.
Although there are hundreds of results with cannabis oil for autistic children, for whom it successfully worked, but these children still have damaged livers. In this case, they still have weak immune systems and are unable to eliminate the accumulated toxins.
So, it turns out that cannabis oil is only a temporary solution that can protect the brain from circulating toxins. The question is, how do we can repair the liver so that it starts producing the P450 enzyme?
Fortunately, the liver has the ability to regenerate. If it receives the correct signals, it can regenerate for a short period of time.
What’s Next?
Thousands of parents have formed private discussion groups and public movements.
One particular group is the MAMMAs, whose participants work on legislation in Texas to see autism as a treatable condition.
Make sure you avoid GMO food at all costs and harmful vaccines because both of them are full of pesticides.
For more information about cannabis and autism, visit the MAMMAs on Facebook.
You can also donate to the Israeli study, which currently works to prove that cannabis can help these children.
Also, join in the March Against Monsanto, which has taken part in 38 countries and 428 cities around the world.
If can avoid these highly dangerous poisons, you will be able to remove all those diseases.
One more thing, do not undertake any treatment before you consult your doctor.
