The Truth about Vaccines:A quick refutation

[Catholic_Lady]

The question is, do autistic people just happen to have methylation issues, or do methylation issues make someone more prone to developing autism? My opinion is the latter. We already suspect that toxins during pregnancy increases the baby's chance of developing autism. Also, babies conceived during the winter months are more likely to be autistic - a possible link to vitamin D deficiency in the mom at time of conception. Though as far as I know, Vitamin D doesn't play a role in methylation specifically, but it does play a role in the immune system. Immune system also helps our bodies deal with toxins.

If you like the methylation hypothesis (and based on the vid it appears to have validity) you need to go back and watch the vid you linked again. The problem is more likely that the methylation issue begins with the mom and a decreased ability of transport folate into the cell to drive production of SAM. But then you have to ask, why an increase now?

What toxin/which toxins? Just a thought, if it is toxins, why didn't the rate of autism jump in the 60's, 70's and 80's when the US was dumping toxins into the environment willy nilly? Or is this some new unidentified toxin? (which eliminates Hg and thimerosal)

Also, if a toxin, why isn't the whole brain effected? Toxins don't discriminate: http://www.nature.com/news/brain-scans-s...es-1.21484

Yes, methylation issues are genetic and can be passes down. One of them being a disorder of the mthfr gene.

I don't think there's an increase in ppl with methylation issues. I think there's an increase in toxicity in our environment that make the ppl with methylation issues more susceptible than ever, since they have a decreased ability to properly detoxify.

As for what is toxic, I don't think anyone can say exactly which ones they all are yet. Obviously smoking, drinking, and drugs can be included in that group. Heavy metals, Herbecides, pesticides, bpa, bleach and other cleaning supplies, and pollution are suspected. Also, having a disease like the flu or other infections are toxic as well and can also increase the chance of autism in the baby if the mom has it while pregnant. Hence why vitamin d plays a role here, considering it's good for your immune system.
