It is all terrifying. Astonishing how the majority simply shrug their shoulders. Something is horribly wrong.

It is metals. Mostly chronic mercury from the "products that must not be named" and lead.

The remedy is chelation with the Andy Cutler protocol which is long, difficult and tedious. But everything else is treating symptoms. I just published this article about lipoic acid which chelates mercury. https://www.maybeitsmercury.com/alpha-lipoic-acid-ala-mercury-chelation. What we need is some chemist who is an expert in pharmacokinetics, to come up with a chelator with a longer half-life, (and does not have a crapload of side effects) or some engineer, to invent a medical device pump of some kind to administer it.

In the early 2000's, Dr. Castellanos, head of the NYU Child Study Center said, "The idea that not all children are born perfect, is a very hard one to deal with," this said before a possible vaccination link was found for those on the autism spectrum.

I was a third grade teacher at the time, when deficit based labels were suddenly being given to different learning children: ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger's Syndrome, and autism.

I was fresh back to teaching after raising family, and this new view and focus was amiss in what I saw in my classroom.

My response to Dr. Castellanos in my mind and writing at the time was, "Indeed, it is an idea that either states and accepts that many, many children are imperfect, or it is the driving question that compels us to look deeper."

These different-learning children were definitely increasing in number and had since the times earlier when I was teaching elementary school. However, what I saw in them were deeper understandings of the themes in language arts, social studies, math, among other talents, and a quiet reclusiveness in most cases, excepting the ADHD children.

I had been a different learner since childhood (ADD), and saw that it had been and was running in my family. Temple Grandin,one of the very earliest children diagnosed with autism, and myself were not given the MMR vaccinations.

Dr. Andy Wakefield, 20 years ago, was told by parents that their children, affected by the MMR vaccinations, were bending over, leaning their stomach against something, their bodies in rebellion.

Those were, yes, the signs of vaccination-induced very difficult autism. However, in my experience the number of children, very unfortunately, having that type of autism, is far less than those that I have seen on this autism spectrum, even those directly labeled with autism itself, this and other spectrum differences, genetically passed down.

I redefine ADD, attention deficit disorder, as attention differently directed, directed to the openness of the right brain, receiving insights, inspirations, using our intuition, thinking in patterns, preferring hands on activities often, the arts, for some their right brain a blank slate that easily memorizes what heard or read. Too much left brain input, and we turn away, to not be overwhelmed, children distracting themselves to something else, or looking out the window.

The right brain is open like a satellite dish to receive inspiration of wholeness and connection for the good of all, and the left brain is linear in numbers and letters meant to shape all of that into benefits for the world.

There have always been increasing numbers of those with these different learning styles and abilities, for the world needs much more just than just left brain thinking, thought by Bacon and Descartes to be the answer for humanity. Take a look at our world. Is it working?

Please see my website with many papers about all of this: www.HeartCenteredMinds.com, and my YouTube talk from 2011, Spectrum Learning Differences, Not Disorders. 1:10.

Attention Differently Directed applies to all on the autism spectrum, each individual with their own mix of spectrum characteristics, coping skills, and intelligence abilities.

Sorry one more. My substack: Our Wise Intelligences; I need to use again, perhaps.

Thank you, Leo, and others.

Now do an analysis of government spending in school districts based on how many young boys just acting like boys have been pronounced to be ADHD. I think you’ll find that the promise of more government largesse has driven much of the increase.

Before the increase in vaccinations for children, ADHD and ADD were linked to mouth breathing as 18% less oxygen is absorbed, leading to sleep deprivation despite a 10-hour night's sleep. Symptoms of sleep deprivation and ADHD are similar. Mouth breathing is linked to sugar consumption and processed food (sugar and flour, which is a long-chain sugar) triggers mouth breathing to exhale the excess carbon dioxide released with the metabolism of carbohydrates.

Totally understandable, as someone who has been in health and nutrition research for over 60 years...The human brain is being bombarded with toxic chemicals coming from every direction from our food, drugs, vaccines, etc., which damage the glands in our brain, which contribute to our ability to think, remember and contribute to one's emotional development. It is no wonder that are all those childhood disorders. Our toxic commercial world is a major contributor.

How much are government payments once an autism or ADHD diagnosis is made contributing to these diagnoses? I have no doubt vaccines are causing many of these but payouts may be inflating the numbers.
