Cocaine Cures Autism?

Researchers have found that addiction among autistic individuals is rare. A newer study in Sweden suggests people with autism of average or higher IQ seemed doubly more likely to get addicted to drugs or alcohol as their friends are. The danger is greater for those who have ADHD.

In a study published in the journal Neuron, researchers from 3 US universities looked into the role that a certain brain protein, known as FMRP, acts in preparing the stage for developing addiction for cocaine. This same protein has played a role in the development of autism spectrum disorder.

Alcohol and most drugs of abuse share one thing: they alter the chemical balance in a part of the brain where intense sensation is produced.

Though researchers do not suggest a link between autism and cocaine addiction, they do indicate the two may stem from the actions of one protein, for FMRP is playing a role in cocaine addiction, if it's at normal levels in the brain; it plays a similar part in the development of autism, if absent or at uncommonly low levels.

Scientific Evidence that MMR Vaccine Does Not Cause Autism

Although I am on Wakefield's side and can't help siding with him, I have to tell the cold facts as they stand: Andrew Wakefield's study is hopelessly biased on account of the financial interest involved, if MMR vaccine got discredited. In addition, he was paid to provide advice to a lawyer building a case against vaccination manufacturers on behalf of parents of kids with autism. Andrew's study gave the proof his lawyer required to build a case. There are obvious conflicts of interest here. With all this "ammunition" that he handed over to the "enemy," it's no surprise why Andrew Wakefield lost his medical license, on the grounds of being found guilty of serious professional misconduct by the GMC.

Neuroplasticity Can Cure Autism of Your Child

Since the human brain is highly plastic, the brain of an autistic child can change and become stronger, capable of learning and overcoming limits in fantastic ways. The brain as an information system, organizes all of our thoughts, emotions, and movements. The brain's job is to create order in the day-to-day confusion and convert the constant onslaught of stimulation into useful information. The brains of autistic kids seem to have a hard time in organizing actions and perceptions and making sense of both themselves and the world. But with effort and right guidance the autistic child can learn to distinguish sounds and other stimuli in time.

22 Medical Studies are Plausible Proof Vaccines Cause Autism

Here is a partial list of some medical studies I found at activistpost website: 17.  A study published by the US National Library of Medicine  conducted by the University of Texas Health Science Centre suspected that persistent low-dose exposures to various environmental toxicants including mercury, that occur during critical windows of neural development among genetically susceptible children, may increase the risk for developmental disorders such as autism. 18.  A study conducted by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology  at University of Pittsburgh’s School of Medicine showed that Macaques are commonly used in pre-clinical vaccine safety testing. Collective Evolution does not support animals testing, we feel there is a large amount of evidence and research that already indicated the links to vaccines in which some animals have been used to illustrate. The objective of this study was to compare early infant cognition and behaviour with amygdala siz...

Peer Reviewed Proof Whatsoever that Vaccines Cause Autism

After a decade of serious research and many large scale studies in several countries, the scientific and medical communities, with their emphasis on peer review, are unanimous in their finding no solid evidence supporting a link between vaccines and autism. The evidence at hand indicates that vaccinations are not causing autism, don't contribute as the cause of autism, and have no absolute future role as the trigger of autism. More proof: in March of 2005, Japanese scientists reported that after having withdrawn the MMR vaccination for a small part of the population, cases of autism had not fallen, but rather, increased for that segment.

Incidence Rates and Causes of Autism

CDC now estimates 1 in 68 children will have autism in the US, with the prevalence being 1 in 42 for boys and 1 in 189 girls, which yield a gender ratio of approximately 5 boys for each girl. There are still no causes defined for this growth of cases of autism. Parents everywhere can't help to wonder why the increase. Even when the preservative had been dropped from vaccines, rates of autism continue to climb. Is someone poisoning our food, our water supply, or the air we breathe?

Can CRISPR Cure Autism?

In the latest study, published by researchers from the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Texas, and GenEdit, have adapted CRISPR-Gold technology in order to treat autistic symptoms in mice. Beating the Autistic Odds with CRISPR One of the major highlights of the new research is the fact that CRISPR-cas9 could be a way to edit certain genes that relate to fragile X syndrome, which is a single-gene disorder frequently connected with autism, and autistic symptoms were improved on. Research provides additional evidence that conveyance of CRISPR-based therapeutics may be effectively accomplished via gold nanoparticles. Mutations in the FMR1 gene is the cause of Fragile X syndrome. This gene plays a key role in encoding the protein, FMRP, the regulator in the production of different proteins and contributes markedly to the development of synapses. Most of the time Fragile X occurs because of a mutation, which results in the enlargement of a part of the...
