THE 4 PRIMARY CAUSATIVE FACTORS
BEHIND THE 4-A EPIDEMICS
Why Is This Happening To Our Children?
What Went Wrong?
INCREASED TOXIFICATION. Over the past 20 years, our water has become
increasingly polluted with hydrocarbons, pathogens, and waste. Our air has been
saturated with mercury from coal burning plants, with I.Q. damaging lead, with
carbon monoxide, and with other pollutants.
In some cities, such as Leominster, Massachusetts, open smokestacks have
created “autism clusters” of extremely high incidence. Furthermore, our oceans
are so full of poison, especially mercury, that it’s now unsafe to eat more than one
can of tuna per week. Also, our foods have been fouled with chemicals,
hormones, and antibiotics to a level that was unheard of 20 years ago.
THE TOTAL TOXIC BURDEN ON MOST AMERICANS IS MEASURABLY HIGHER
THAN IT WAS EVEN TEN YEARS AGO.
FURTHER DECLINES IN NUTRITION . The average intake of essential nutrients –
including vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids – has steadily declined
since the 1980s, and the eating of unhealthy foods has increased. In particular,
there has been an increase in the consumption of saturated fats, hydrogenated
trans-fats, sugars, and refined carbohydrates. Much of this unhealthy food comes
from fast food restaurants, which are significantly more popular than they were
even 20 years ago, and also from processed foods in grocery stores.
Children, significantly more than adults, have been lured into the seductive realm
of fast foods and processed foods. These unhealthy foods have displaced more
nutritious foods in many children’s daily diets. Obvious results of poor nutrition,
such as obesity, are less destructive than subtle metabolic damage, which
contributes to the 4-A disorders.
WITHOUT THE RIGHT NUTRIENTS, THE BODY CAN’T PROPERLY PROTECT,
DETOXIFY, OR RESTORE ITSELF.
THERE HAS BEEN A DECLINE AMONG MANY CHILDREN IN THE BODY'S
NATURAL ABILITY TO DETOXIFY ITSELF. One of the cruelest ironies of the
toxification of children’s bodies with heavy metals is that the metals themselves
hamper the body’s ability to detoxify. Therefore, the toxins from heavy metals that
enter children’s bodies often stay there – and they allow other forms of toxins to
stay there, too. One reason this happens is because heavy metals are particularly
damaging to an important detoxification process known as methylation, which is
responsible for removing mercury and other toxins.
An overload of mercury severely debilitates the process of methylation. Due to this,
the increased presence of mercury, from the environment and possibly
vaccinations, has robbed many children of this protective process.
A growing number of physicians who use the biomedical approach, however, have
learned how to restore methylation, and help kids once again experience proper
detoxification. When the ability to properly detoxify is restored, children’s
symptoms often decline.
THE 4-A EPIDEMICS WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED UNTIL WE LEARN HOW TO
HELP OUR KIDS DETOXIFY.
These 4 fundamental, far-reaching changes created a veritable perfect storm of
physical and neurological insult. It is now time to begin to tame this storm, and to
reach out to the children who were damaged by it, with the healing modalities of
biomedical therapy, combined with behavioral therapy.
