Autism, Stem Cells and What the World URGENTLY Needs to Know: The Body Ecology Perspective by Donna Gates for BodyEcology.com Are you worried about the health of your children? Autism now affects 1 out of every 150 children born, but there is something we can do about it. Stem cell therapy is a new autism treatment that in addition to diet and lifestyle changes can heal our youngest generation and those to come. As you know, I created the Body Ecology Diet to heal systemic fungal, viral and bacterial infections. It has become clear over time that the Body Ecology program provides healing for many different kinds of physical problems. In fact, most of the health problems we suffer from today are fungal (or yeast) based...even cancer. This is certainly true for children who are suffering from an infection we now call autism. Spreading the word that autism is both treatable and preventable is a major goal. Doctors and scientists are not exactly sure why children develop autism, but the st...

July 11, 2008 STEM CELLS: THE FINAL PIECE OF THE AUTISM PUZZLE? By Kent Heckenlively, Esq. It’s a discussion I’ve often had with my wife Linda over the years. As I share with her the latest findings about how to rid our daughter’s body of heavy metals, and bacterial and viral infections my wife asks the inevitable question that her years of training as a speech therapist compels her to ask: How much damage has been done between the time of injury and the time we addressed these problems? Because she works as a speech therapist in the rehabilitation unit of a major hospital she has seen the damage done to the brain by car accidents, strokes, and cancer. She has seen startling recoveries, understands the value of hope, but also knows that many times the dream of complete recovery goes unfulfilled. It has been with great interest that I’ve been investigating the idea of stem cells as a treatment for autism. In 2007 an article entitled “Stem Cell Therapy for Autism” was published in the ...

University of Virginia, Department of Family Medicine, P.O. Box 800729, Charlottesville, VA 22908, USA. dlross7@hotmail.com Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder currently affecting as many as 1 out of 166 children in the United States. Numerous studies of autistic individuals have revealed evidence of cerebral hypoperfusion, neuroinflammation and gastrointestinal inflammation, immune dysregulation, oxidative stress, relative mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotransmitter abnormalities, impaired detoxification of toxins, dysbiosis, and impaired production of porphyrins. Many of these findings have been correlated with core autistic symptoms. For example, cerebral hypoperfusion in autistic children has been correlated with repetitive, self-stimulatory and stereotypical behaviors, and impairments in communication, sensory perc...

1: J Transl Med. 2007 Jun 27;5:30. Links Stem cell therapy for autism. Ichim TE , Solano F , Glenn E , Morales F , Smith L , Zabrecky G , Riordan NH . Medistem Laboratories Inc, Tempe, Arizona, USA. thomas.ichim@gmail.com Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of neurodevelopmental conditions whose incidence is reaching epidemic proportions, afflicting approximately 1 in 166 children. Autistic disorder, or autism is the most common form of ASD. Although several neurophysiological alterations have been associated with autism, immune abnormalities and neural hypoperfusion appear to be broadly consistent. These appear to be causative since correlation of altered inflammatory responses, and hypoperfusion with symptology is reported. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are in late phases of clinical development for treatment of graft versus host disease and Crohn's Disease, two conditions of immune dysregulation. Cord blood CD34+ cells are known to be potent angiogenic stimulators, havi...

Dear Friends and Family, As you may know we are in the process of trying to raise money for my son Cameron age 4, to be able to receive adult donated umbilical cord stem cell treatments for autism. This procedure is not done in the united states except for a few select government approved clinical trials. We need to raise $25,000 in order to be able to get the treatment for him and will have to travel outside of the US to get it done. This treatment is showing great promise for recovery of autism. To me these stem cells are the perfect gift from God. He is the creator and man has now learned to use these "gifts" to help us with many health ailments. Our hope is that God will use us to be pioneers into this process to help pave the way for this to be approved here in the United States. We will be "blogging" our process on Cameron's website www.cameronsjourney.blogspot.com We will be doing many fundraising events over the next few months and I hope that you...
