[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, It is most common in the first born because they acquire 2/3 of mom’s toxin burden in utero. Due to high metabolic rate of the fetus and demand for calcium, Mom goes through temporary state of osteoporosis while pregnant. This allows the release of a lifetimes worth of toxins, most commonly lead that is stored in bone.  But this is just part of the picture. Nearly all kids with autism have a gene variant called MTHFR that is involved in many important processes, not the least of which is detoxification. Folate acts through this pathway and many believe the use of synthetic folate found in most drug store prenatal vitamins is implicated in the development of autism. The reason is that Pp with MTHFR variants cannot properly utilize synthetic folate. It actually blocks real, dietary folate from the receptor and prevent real folate from getting into our cells.  As a result, kids with autism are completely unable to detox and they hold on to toxins passed on by mom. Good news is that activated forms of folate, including the prescription form called leukovorin, can help many of our kids.  Many success stories there.  You can ask your doctor to test for MTHFR status, but if your child was born with a “stork bite” or “sugar bug” at birth, you can be pretty confident what you’re dealing with. I write none of this with the intention of making moms feel guilty or depressed.  I hope it empowers some one to learn more and to help their child to live a healthier life[/quote]
