Urinary<BR/>porphyrin levels determined by high-performance liquid chromatography were<BR/>compared between diagnostic groups including internal and external control<BR/>groups. Coproporphyrin levels were elevated in children with autistic disorder<BR/>relative to control groups. Elevation was maintained on normalization for age or <BR/>to a control heme pathway metabolite (uroporphyrin) in the same samples. The<BR/>elevation was significant (P < 0.001). Porphyrin levels were unchanged in<BR/>Asperger's disorder, distinguishing it from autistic disorder. The atypical<BR/>molecule precoproporphyrin, a specific indicator of heavy metal toxicity, was<BR/>also elevated in autistic disorder (P < 0.001) but not significantly in<BR/>Asperger's. A subgroup with autistic disorder was treated with oral<BR/>dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) with a view to heavy metal removal. Following DMSA<BR/>there was a significant (P = 0.002) drop in urinary porphyrin excretion. These<BR/>data implicate environmental toxicity in childhood autistic disorder.<BR/><BR/>Publication Types: <BR/> Comparative Study<BR/><BR/>Mesh Terms:<BR/> Administration, Oral<BR/> Adolescent<BR/> Autistic Disorder/diagnosis<BR/> Autistic Disorder/etiology<BR/> Autistic Disorder/urine*<BR/> Biological Markers/urine<BR/> Chelating Agents/administration & dosage<BR/> Chelating Agents/therapeutic use<BR/> Child<BR/> Child Development Disorders, Pervasive/diagnosis<BR/> Child Development Disorders, Pervasive/etiology<BR/> Child Development Disorders, Pervasive/urine*<BR/> Child, Preschool<BR/> Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid<BR/> Coproporphyrins/urine<BR/> Environmental Exposure/adverse effects<BR/> Environmental Exposure/analysis*<BR/> Female<BR/> Humans<BR/> Male<BR/> Metals, Heavy/antagonists & inhibitors<BR/> Metals, Heavy/poisoning<BR/> Metals, Heavy/urine<BR/> Porphyrias/complications<BR/> Porphyrias/urine*<BR/> Porphyrins/urine<BR/> Retrospective Studies<BR/> Succimer/administration & dosage<BR/> Succimer/therapeutic use<BR/> Treatment Outcome<BR/> Uroporphyrins/urine<BR/><BR/>Substances:<BR/> Biological Markers<BR/> Chelating Agents<BR/> Coproporphyrins<BR/> Metals, Heavy<BR/> Porphyrins<BR/> Uroporphyrins<BR/> precoproporphyrin<BR/> pentacarboxylic porphyrin<BR/> Succimer<BR/><BR/>PMID: 16782144 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]<BR/><BR/><BR/>Thanks Ken!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314537101656048652.post-36558532764995696952008-02-07T16:46:00.000-06:002008-02-07T16:46:00.000-06:00How do you define "recovered" as it relates to chi...How do you define "recovered" as it relates to children with autism? I asked Ashley Reynolds this question several months ago, and don't recall seeing an answer. I think it's important that two sides that don't agree on an issue at least define certain critical words the same way. <BR/><BR/>Also, does the SUNY Buffalo study that Tricia cites support the idea that chelation cures autism? She seems to think so. If Tricia is right, then what reasons can you give, other than "huge conspiracy", why the mainstream medical community doesn't embrace chelation as a cure for autism?<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Ted!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314537101656048652.post-24333417848883278382008-02-05T00:07:00.000-06:002008-02-05T00:07:00.000-06:00Did you say something again ANB?Here's more scienc...Did you say something again ANB?<BR/><BR/>Here's more science for you to study:<BR/><BR/>http://www.vaproject.org/thrower/mmr-briefing-20070430.htm<BR/><BR/>I remember Dr. El-Dahr in that video-hopeful and courageous; clearly someone who is working to improve this situation from within academic medicine despite the oppressive culture. <BR/><BR/>Check her credentials:<BR/>http://www.som.tulane.edu/medciar/faculty.html#jane%20el-dahr<BR/>Jane M.S. El-Dahr, M.D.<BR/>Professor and Chief, Section of Pediatric Immunology, Allergy & Rheumatology, Department of Pediatrics, Tulane Hospital for Children <BR/><BR/>Maybe U of Missouri's own Dr. Miles and Dr. Cooperstock could be mature adults here and address the concerns of the fourth estate in the local academic community by having a round table with Dr. El-Dahr from Tulane-that would be a great peer to peer discussion on what these kids really need and even further societal good would move through this debate.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Each year more recovered children are making those with their heads in the sand on this look even more foolish. Autism is treatable, part of the treatment is a detoxification protocol-as the cutting edge of clinical care produces more recovered kids there will be a "failure to treat" legal liability that will befall those who continue to neglect the molecular genetics and basic science indicating the slow kinetics of heavy metals in these kids and the chronic GI issues of many deep in the spectrum.<BR/><BR/>These kids keep getting vaccines in some pediatrics practices even after there are early concerns for autism, precautionary principle would say to pull out the 18 month old showing signs of autism from the CDC schedule.<BR/><BR/>SIMPLE LOGIC: An environmentally sensitive child should not receive injected aluminum adjuvants or mercury containing preservatives once clinically identified.<BR/> <BR/>My specialty is going to make aluminum adjuvants look really bad in the next decade in the metal-impaired population with Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. <BR/><BR/>This is all going to catch up to the CDC, IOM, and the turncoats in the AAP that said 9 YEARS AGO to get the thimerosal out but are still allowing it in pregnant females as a KNOWN TERATOGEN in flushots. I don't image pregnant women with a known tetratogen of radiation when much less damaging imaging modalities are available. So why are OBs giving flushots with thimerosal, why isn't flumist the only allowed vaccination-admission of guilt?<BR/><BR/>Wouldn't a 6 month old kid rather have a painless flu inoculation into the nares instead of a shot with thimerosal? Too bad we can't ask the ones that may have been able to talk had they not gotten the critical load of mercury that their genetics couldn't handle.<BR/><BR/>Vaccines are associated with neurodevelopmental delays in linear fashion as reflected in the data discussed Simpsonwood. This is a grayscale phenomena that mimics the association of radiation to cancer and thus becomes impossible to pin down to one exposure or one toxin or one vaccination-thus the whole CDC schedule is suspect. I have plastered this all over this blog. No one in medicine can debate me or Haley or Ayoub or Engley on the lack of real safety of alot of this. Many are coming to know exactly how this is happening and how to prevent it. There are much safer vaccine schedules that exist beyond the hubris of the CDC's mandate. Smart pediatricians are starting to listen because of discussions like this in increasingly smaller segments of society that have still have democratic fundamentals. <BR/><BR/>For the transparency that our federal government is trying to deny, here is a copy of the IOM transcript on MMR:<BR/>http://www.whale.to/vaccines/IOM.pdf <BR/>At least the IOM did the right thing on this prior vaccine safety cover-up (that one's a doooozzzie):<BR/>http://www.sv40foundation.org/IOM.html <BR/>Notice how many decades it took for that one to get fleshed out? Some of the most trusting white sheep of medicine still believe the CDC because they are afraid to question dogma; definition of academic sheep.<BR/><BR/>EFFIIIMD<BR/><BR/>Simple-stupid: MEDICINE NEEDS TO SPARE THE MOLECULARLY INFIRMED FROM THE FRONTLINES OF THE ID WAR.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314537101656048652.post-35877279512016736912008-02-04T16:02:00.000-06:002008-02-04T16:02:00.000-06:00But some researchers did attempt to replicate Wake...But some researchers did attempt to replicate Wakefield.

Are you saying that in the universe of all live virus vaccines there has not been one child chronically infected with them in a way that created an adverse neurological event on a long horizon? <BR/><BR/>For those in search of more information take a peak at this investigative journalist's work on some of the issues:<BR/>http://www.kindredmedia.com.au/info/a_dragon_by_the_tail_/282/1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314537101656048652.post-51072495655166079962008-02-04T06:27:00.000-06:002008-02-04T06:27:00.000-06:00What is your take of Dr. Wakefield?
