Dr. William Shaw on the Effects of Toxic Chemicals
Dr. William Shaw speaks about autism and the effect of toxic chemicals. Substances of concern include both well known and lesser publicized threats such as heavy metals, pesticides, cigarette smoke, land fills, pet shampoos, perfumes, and nose and eye drops. He shares how to avoid these hazards and detoxify after exposure.
Dr. William Shaw on the Multifactorial Causes of Autism (part 1)
Dr. William Shaw speaks on the multifactorial causes of autism. The hypotheses discussed include neurologic disorder due to genetic causes and systemic disorder affectingbrain function due to toxic exposures, nutritional deficiencies, vaccine overuse or vaccine abuse, gastrointestinal dysfunction, food allergies, and genetic vulnerabilities.
Sulphation and Autism: What are the links?
The evidence so far is incomplete but is certainly in accordance with the view that while defects in sulphation may not be the prime cause of autism, they are responsible for much of the dysregulation of biochemical and physiological processes. Perhaps the full answer may lie somewhere in the complex interactions of the autoimmune system with neuronal development. Autism may then reflect either in utero damage from maternal cytokines or perinatal damage caused by the actions of infections and vaccinations on a child with faulty autoimmune responses.
