Placental respiration is maintained until the lungs are functioning and cord closure is finalized only after an optimal blood volume is provided by placental transfusion (PT). Premature cord clamping can incur major injury. The circumstances of premature birth and Cesarean section birth increase the risk of major blood loss from premature cord clamping. The smaller the preemie, the larger the portion of feto-placental blood volume is in the placenta, and larger amounts of PT are required to establish function of the preemie’s lungs and other vital organs during transition from placental life support. The germinal matrix is extremely active metabolically providing neurons for growth of the cerebral cortex and is extremely vulnerable to ischemic damage resulting from inadequate PT. At cesarean birth, especially if it is elective and the uterus is not contracting, the factors that effect PT (uterine contraction and gravity) are absent, and they may be reversed. If the neonate is held above the mother’s abdomen, blood may flow down the vein into the placenta that is further distended in the flaccid uterus by the arteries; the result is massive blood loss. The resultant hypovolemic shock may be compounded by persistent fetal circulation and multi-organ dysfunction, retraction respiration and brain infarction.","PeriodicalId":363866,"journal":{"name":"Medical Veritas: The Journal of Medical Truth","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129495290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Other symptoms include abdominal pain, constipation, growth failure, vomiting, and chronic gastroesophageal reflux. It is believed that the bowel disease present in children with autism contributes to many of the cognitive problems that these children experience, at the very least impeding their ability to maximally benefit from the many behavioral interventions available. When endoscopy is performed in ASD children with unexplained chronic gastrointestinal symptoms, a pattern of diffuse lymphonodular hyperplasia and multifocal non-specific acute and chronic enterocolitis emerges. These findings have been noted in the entire course of the gastrointestinal tract, from the esophagus to the anus. Potential consequences of this gastrointestinal pathology include brush border enzyme deficiency and malabsorption. Dietary components can exacerbate the inflammation. Treatments aimed at reducing the degree of inflammation in the GI tract is often successful in reducing the amount of abdominal pain experienced by the child which translates into more normal sleep patterns and improved in the educational environment and during therapies. Common treatments broadly include restrictive diets, anti-inflammatory medications, digestive enzyme supplementation, antibiotics, and probiotics. Individual patients may additionally benefit from anti-reflux therapy and conventional treatments to treat ongoing constipation. © Copyright 2005 Pearblossom Private School, Inc.–Publishing Division.

An attachment disorder occurs due to traumatic disruption or other interferences with the caregiver-child bond during the first years of life. It can distort future stages of development and impact a person’s cognitive, neurological, social and emotional functioning. It may also increase the risk of other serious emotional and behavioral problems. Some traumatic events include: abandonment/loss of family; neglect; abuse; physical illness, including malnutrition and physical problems such as recurring ear infections or other painful medical conditions; and inadequate group care/out-of-home care. A baby being adopted may have come from a situation where the baby was prematurely separated from the birth mother and/or in a situation of long-term deprivation where the baby’s needs were not able to be met. In these instances the child’s innately trusting nature can be damaged. The reactions can become programmed into the child’s brain and become part of the child’s intrinsic neurological makeup. In the early days with an adopted child, the adoptive parent must make sure that parent and child are not separated, the child is not frightened, and the parent is seen as the ultimate protector of the child’s safety and security. For the child’s neurological system to begin to heal and work properly again, the child must first experience the feeling of total trust.

Once these sulfhydrylcontaining (-SH) amino acid/tripeptide concentrations are returned to normal, the TH1/TH2 ratio will normalize and said chronic TH2-cell activation would cease.

This interview explores the science behind these applications. Methods: HBOT is defined as a pharmaceutical and its pharmacologic effects are reviewed in the context of the author’s historical application of HBOT to neurology, including autism. Results: HBOT has a powerful drug effect in acute brain injury through inhibition of the acute inflammatory reaction of reperfusion injury (the injury caused by return of blood flow after blood flow interruption—e.g. cardiac arrest at birth, near-drowning, etc.) The author’s successful use of HBOT in divers with delayed treatment of brain decompression sickness led to the application to other types of chronic brain injury, including autism. HBOT is suggested to have common pharmaceutical actions on the pathology of chronic brain injury, including autism, that are reinforced by the author’s proof of effectiveness in an animal model of chronic traumatic brain injury. Some of the author’s 25 autistic patients seem to have significant birth insults that contributed to the diagnosis of autism. HBOT appears to be effective for these insults years later. Other physicians are now duplicating the author’s findings in autism. There appears to be no identifiable body of information on HBOT in combination with chelation therapy. Conclusions: HBOT appears to be effective in the treatment of autism. The pathological targets of treatment are unknown at this time. © Copyright 2005 Pearblossom Private School, Inc.–Publishing Division.

Autism comprises a major portion of these disabilities and is epidemic. Autism occurs more frequently after complicated or difficult births that indicate the use of ICC. The clinical features of autism indicate lesions of the auditory, speech and language areas of the brain to be fundamental. Hypoxic-ischemic birth injury to the inferior colliculi (part of the auditory circuit) could account for the later development of autism. Mercury toxicity from vaccines as a cause of autism is controversial and is still under investigation; mercury accumulation in brain nuclei already damaged by hypoxia-ischemia (in the same manner that bilirubin accumulates in dead tissue but does not stain living tissue) may have led researchers to attribute the damage to an incidental finding and miss the real cause. There is considerable evidence that the autism epidemic will end when the current custom of clamping functioning umbilical cords ends.","PeriodicalId":363866,"journal":{"name":"Medical Veritas: The Journal of Medical Truth","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121542800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) receives 11,000 reports of serious adverse reactions, including death, to vaccines annually. The FDA estimates that less than 10% of serious adverse events are reported. Grieving parents of otherwise healthy children who have died from unexplainable causes following mandatory vaccinations have rallied together forming advocacy groups questioning the safety of vaccines. In recent years the components of vaccines, some of which are known to be carcinogens and neurotoxins, and their unknown long-term effects on children, have many wondering if vaccines may be a contributing factor to the increase in chronic childhood illnesses. This review of the literature investigates the possible relationship between the increasing number of childhood vaccines and concomitant increase in incidence of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus in children throughout the world. The biological mechanisms involved in the human immune system are not fully understood. While the evidence remains inconclusive to accept or reject a causal relationship, the hypothesis is plausible and warrants further investigation.","PeriodicalId":363866,"journal":{"name":"Medical Veritas: The Journal of Medical Truth","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128419989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
