Biotoxins and Autism
A genetically-susceptible subset of Autistic children can suffer toxic injury to the brain and immune system not only as a result of exposure to heavy metals, but also as a result of exposure to “biotoxins” such as indoor molds. These toxins activate the immune system, creating a Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). This lecture presents symptoms of CIRS, an on-line screening test and lab studies. Treatment amplifies the response to both biomedical and behavioral interventions.
