LINKING ACETAMINOPHEN TO ADHD AND AUTISM
Three recent studies found links between the prenatal use of acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and also ASD (autism spectrum disorder) diagnoses.
The first study utilized rodents to discover that acetaminophen use can inhibit testosterone production which critically disrupts brain development.
NEURONAL CONNECTIVITY LEVEL AND PRENATAL ACETAMINOPHEN USE
The second study followed 345 children from birth to age 11. At birth, the acetaminophen content in the mother’s meconium was collected and analyzed to assess prenatal exposure. Of the meconium samples analyzed, 199 contained acetaminophen. Of the 345 children in the study, 33 (10%) were later diagnosed with ADHD. MRIs of the children whose meconium contained acetaminophen demonstrated a lesser amount of neuronal connectivity, a causative factor of hyperactivity in children.
In the third study, researchers in Boston measured acetaminophen levels in the umbilical cord plasma of 996 mother-infant pairs. Of the 996 infants, 257 (26%) were later diagnosed with ADHD and 66 (6%) were later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The researchers determined a direct association between umbilical cord acetaminophen levels and ADHD and ASD diagnoses.
TOXIC CAUSES OF ADHD AND AUTISM
These studies support what Dutch physician Tinu Smits M.D. discovered in his own practice. After treating over 300 autism cases, Dr. Smits discovered that various toxins tend to accumulate in children with ASD. He found that 70% of the accumulated toxins came from vaccines, 25% from toxic medication or other toxic substances during the prenatal or early natal periods and 5% from other diseases. Dr. Smits developed CEASE therapy to treat his patients who suffered from ASD. This approach incorporates isotherapy, a form of homeopathy that utilizes the causative substances themselves in a homeopathic preparation to erase toxic imprints.
TREATING ADHD AND AUTISM WITH ISOTHERAPY
For the last 10 years, I have also incorporated isotherapy into my practice to treat children with ADHD and ASD. I have personally witnessed some remarkable symptom reversals. Among the most memorable occurred in a 15 year-old autistic boy who could not read. After determining that the culprit was a specific vaccine, he underwent isotherapy. Within months, the boy began to read. Recently, his mother came into the office for an appointment and reported that her son was heading off to college this year.
It is my hope that studies like the ones mentioned above will spark further research on the true causes of ADHD and autism and in doing so, end the current autism pandemic. If you are interested in learning whether isotherapy may be right for your child, please call Renaissance Health Centre at 702-258-7860 to schedule an appointment today.
