There are many contributing factors in autism spectrum disorders. One factor that is often mentioned is mercury toxicity from vaccinations. Research has shown that mercury in the tissues can negatively affect the brain.  I would like to explain how vaccines can initiate inflammation which can affect the brain and how we think. By the time a child reaches school age on average they received 36 injections, some of these injections contain multiple vaccinations. When the body's immune response is activated by a vaccination, there is an inflammatory response that leads to excess cellular death and waste.

As a child reaches the age of two, they have received the majority, almost half of the 36 injections, that they are required to receive. When we initiate an inflammatory response over and over again for two years we create excess cellular waste in the body, that can congest the brain. If a child happens to have an ear infection from the inflammatory response created by the vaccine, they are prescribed antibiotics, sometimes repeatedly, for recurring ear infections.  Antibiotics also create excess cellular death and add to the waste that is building in the body and brain.

This excess waste contains parts of dead cells that have misfolded or clumped together with cholesterol and other debris. As it builds it can block off tiny lymphatic vessels that can be smaller than a strand of hair. New research shows that up to 48% of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is absorbed by the lymphatic system. When the lymphatic system is congested, the reabsorbtion of CSF is compromised and acidic cellular waste builds in the brain limiting cognitive function.

 Many children with autism have not had vaccinations. Inflammation from repeated ear infections, antibiotics, colds, viruses, injuries like falls, all add up to limit circulation and function in the body. There are many ways to detox acid waste from the body and brain. Manually activating the lymphatic system can be very affective and accomplished by a parent. The best results are seen when emphasis in therapy is placed on whole body lymphatic activation rather than concentrating on detoxing only the brain.
