I am amazed but not surprised , and now we are being focused on normalizing autism. If you are trying to help your autistic child you must HATE them. Just embrace their wonderful quirkiness and “learn to love them”. Could be compared to just embrace that limp caused by polio. Thank you for your work.

It is NOT surprising to me. Glutathione metabolism was my research area when I was a member of an Biomedical Autism Think Tank in the early 2000s. In the book, Children with Starving Brains by Jacquelyn McCandless MD published in 2002, The section Concepts for Near-Future Research listed Glutathione as a leading topic to address in future autism research. My research was quoted describing the many roles of glutathione: "Adequate levels of glutathione are needed for many aspects of immune response including: lymphocyte reactions, T-cell proloferation, T and B cell differentiation, cytotoxic T-cell activity, and natural killer cell activity. In the absence of adequate glutathione to offset oxidative stress, a vicious cycle is perpetuated that reduces immunity and allows opportunistic infections to proliferate and this in turn increases TNF-alpha and other inflammatory cytokines, and this increases oxidative stress which further depletes glutathione and the downward spiral follows. Low glutathione impairs immune system function which leads to frequent infection; poor infection response leads to inflammatory response and oxidative stress, which in turn lowers glutathione."
Babies need adequate glutathione for immune response and protection from toxins and oxidative stress!!!

And here's another novel thought.

How about calling for some real research into how to fix these problems? Hundreds of thousands of children are already injured, and more and more are injured every day. Autism Speaks has estimated that a child is diagnosed with autism every 20 minutes. The current recovery rate for autism hovers somewhere under 10%. Research into cures, treatments, therapies, even effective educational techniques has flatlined for at least the last 15 years. There hasn't even been any effective research into addressing some of the co-morbidities with autism, such as GI issues, allergies, and epilepsy. The biomedical approaches are good, and when they work, they work well. But they have not been successful with a majority of kids and adults on the spectrum.

The vaccination issue is critical, but it is only the start of how to address the autism epidemic. At some point we have to figure out how to genuinely help (and it won't be cheap) those who are already damaged. Those costs will only grow as the epidemic grows.

Thanks Ginger ,great job,good news and fascinating article about [GST] deficiency identified in blood spot sample results,and yet five years of more silence about additional ,available medical evidence laughing at the "Industrialised /Medicalised Mantra" That all vaccines are safe and effective ?
Have the [CDC] and [IACC] got issues? do they have problems? . Are they getting henpecked by the [WHO-Europe ] or something? Or have the accountable and responsible "Glutes" seized up again and just gone into another wee synergistic, but big long awkward, spasm of silence!
Explains why some folk get improvement in conditions where there is inflamation .
good advice available at Alliance for Natural Health .

Sandy Miller,

Vaccines can cause autism, but they are not the only cause of autism. We know that there are several causes of autism. Further there are unvaccinated children with autism.

What this paper shows is that there are a subset of children that are born with a predisposition to be easily poisoned. Those children when vaccinated often regress into autism.

If your grandchild was born with this inability to process toxic compounds out of his body, there are many sources that he can become poisoned by. Vaccines are one of those sources, but foods calmer air pollution, and other medications, are all sources of poisoning for children born with this inability to detoxify their bodies.

What is exciting about this paper, is that we can know at birth which children are at risk of regressing into autism with a simple blood test. And those children can be screened out and treated with much greater care so that they never suffer the neurological regression that can be induced via toxic exposure like vaccines.

Great work Ginger...

I believe you also did the chart for the "Wakefield Witch-hunt" a few years back that I am sure everyone has seen many times.

W. John Martin,
Interesting study. What it does not say is whether those affected children were vaccinated. If they were (and they probably were as most children are), then the next question would be whether those children would have been normal if never vaccinated.

Unless the body of the paper states that the affected children were not vaccinated, the study does not prove that vaccines did not cause or trigger the autism or mental retardation in these children.

The obvious study is to check biomarkers before and for-an-extended-period after vaccination. If the markers get worse, then vaccination increased the risk of autism.

Of course this is the reason that pharma/doctors/CDC don't want biomarkers -- because it will be immediately obvious that vaccination makes them worse. It gives feedback on the order of weeks/months, instead of the years of delay waiting for an autism diagnosis.

I agree with Laura, though -- this study would be highly unethical, given the abundant information about how harmful vaccines are. But for parents who ignore the existing evidence and trust their pediatrician, tracking biomarkers in their children would be a strong incentive to stop vaccinating as they see them decline with each round.

So, once the damage is done, how do we go about reversing this? Chelation?

Super thanks Ginger - would such a small infant have enough GST to rid its body of all the toxins flooding in from the vaccines,obviously not.

MMR RIP

Here’s a novel thought:

Instead of pre-screening to try to discern which newborn might be at greater risk of being more overtly poisoned and more overtly made chronically ill, severely and permanently disabled, and prematurely killed via vaccination, stop poisoning ALL babies via vaccination once and for all.

Promoting the pre-screening of newborns and infants prior to vaccination perpetuates the vaccine propaganda, i.e. that for the vast majority, injecting them with known toxins, neurotoxins, carcinogens, immune and nervous system destroyers, endocrine disruptors, viruses and retroviruses of human and animal origin, food proteins, detergents, industrial chemicals, and many other ingredients for which the human body has absolutely no need or use, is somehow beneficial, protective, and health-inducing.

More studies are not needed. The evidence is in and it is crystal clear. Vaccines have altered and destroyed the health, development, well being, fertility, longevity, transference of immunity from mother to child, independence, and lives of billions at this point in time. Are we waiting for the trillions mark before we demand an end to this Vaccine Holocaust?

What biomarker test result would induce you to poison your newborn or infant via vaccination?

It's interesting that the message coming out from the top of all these health organizations is consistent, but conflicting info keeps erupting from the peripheries. The head of the CDC is saying "everything's fine!" , for instance, but the underlings somehow are still coming up with autism prevalence statistics. It seems the whole thing will have to collapse in a heap at some point!

The New York Department of Health should know, by the way, that you can't measure Hg body burden by looking at hair samples. The more toxic the person, the lower the Hg tends to be in the sample. Andy Cutler wrote a whole book on this, "Hair Test Interpretation, Finding Hidden Toxicities." There is also a journal article or study by Dr. Amy Holmes about this.

"Yet here we are five years later, and no newborn screening panel is being offered by my local docs. What about in your neck of the woods? No phone call from our pediatric practice saying, “Mrs. Taylor, Dr. HeadInTheSand would like you to bring Chandler in so we can check his glutathione levels.” I keep checking CNN for breaking news, but Gupta got nothin'."

It gets tiring .. but .. none-the-less .. it is worth repeating over and over again .. that being …

"The greatest power of the press .. is their power to IGNORE".

Which explains WHY it should surprise no one that Laura "keeps checking CNN for breaking news, but Gupta got nothing".

Trust me .. CNN & Gupta BOTH have known all about this breathtaking .. "breaking news" .. which is exactly why they IGNORED IT.

As the trite saying goes .. if a tree falls in the woods .. and .. no one tells you the tree fell … it didn't fall.

Brilliant, Ginger.

Wow! Thank you, Ginger! This is fantastic reporting.

I think you need to make another bunny meme! Love the last paragraph of the paper. Yes, it is "poetic," unfortunately, it is also "buried."

In phased biomarker development, this is Phase 1. In Phase 2, we line up all the putative biomarkers, lifestyle, genetics, demographics, and in this case MEDICAL RECORDS to see if in training sets (cases vs. controls) we can learn PREDICTION MODELS that we test with independent test sets (cases and controls not included in the model training). We then use multicenter validation trials.

Part of the issue, however, is that the biomarkers are AFTER diagnosis. We are focused on biomarkers to predict risk pre-diagnosis, pre-vaccination.

Great summary Ginger.

Ginger- big slice of awesome!

Thank you!

We have the science !
They have lies, more lies and Colon Boil.
