HHV-6 and Autism
Editor's Note: autism is a tragic example of what happens in science when power trumps truth. Because of the powerful nature of the HIV establishment, the role of HHV-6 in AIDS has been politically minimized. Because the role of HHV-6 in AIDS is basically being covered up, or made to look unimportant, children with HHV-6/autism are deprived of the benefits of HHV-6 treatment. HHV-6 is an iceberg. AIDS is at the tip of it. At the bottom of the iceberg one can find CFIDS, autism, ADHD and a whole variety of supposedly mysterious diseases. They're mysterious because of the politics of HIV and HHV-6. And those politics are not mysterious at all. Children with autism are the ultimate victims of these politics. Parents of autistic children try to learn everything they can about autism to change the destiny of their children. But if they don't understand HIV/HHV-6 politics, they'll never truly know what has happened to their children.
In most cases, “autism” like behaviors are caused by the break down of the child’s immune system; allowing viruses, candida, fungi and parasites to set up shop in our beautiful children’s body and brain. A better name for this condition is Neuro-Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (NIDS). http://www.not-autism.org/about
"The HHV-6 and measles viruses are etiologically linked to autism because they are related to brain autoantibodies and demyelinating diseases." http://overcomingcandida.com/candida_and_autism_2.htm
"Reports of HHV-6 and autism are abundant. Many children have high herpes titres, sometimes to that of 4-6 times of normal, often correlating with autism symptoms or seizures." http://www.canlyme.com/autismlyme.html
"Lauren [a child with autism] also had a huge variety of blood tests, which gave some amazing results. In basic terms it showed that Lauren’s natural killer cells were very low which shows there is a problem with her immune system, she also came up as having the HHV6 Human Herpes Virus. Lauren was over 250 times the acceptable limit. Speaking to Dr Goldberg on the phone about Lauren’s results he said it was literally one of the highest results he has seen." http://www.autismfile.com/articles/issue1_11.htm
"We learned, by having blood tests and immune panels prepared from our son John's blood tests (something no physician before had thought to do), that he had high HHV6 titers and low Natural Killer (NK) cells, a condition which is not caused genetically, but which is a disease probably brought on by genetic susceptibility. However, John is now curable! Treatment began a year ago, and despite two setbacks due to illness in the process, John is improving very steadily. The life described in the beginning of this short presentation has dramatically changed, in too short a period to be attributed to maturity. We have a relationship with him. We all laugh and play together now. He always listens and sometimes follows simple directions. He doesn't mess the floor anymore. He has been sleeping through the night since December. His HHV6 titers are down. Dr. Goldberg expects John to mainstream in the next two years. With your help, it could be sooner." http://www.whale.to/v/smythe.html
The symptoms of the “quiet” ADD child (who is likely connected to this phenomenon) is not consistent with the past training or processes used to “explain” and address the “hyper” ADD child. It seems likely that the cognitive defects described in adults and children with CFIDS may be thought of as milder, later-onset form of ""autism", as they are similar in symptomatology and possible etiologies. The continued exploration of an immune-dysfunctional epiphenomena, and the potential etiologies linked to it, is a door we must walk through if we expect to change the future of this generation of children! http://autisticconjectureoftheday.blogspot.com
