From my research I have concluded that regressive autism, in most cases, is the result of bottle feeding followed by vaccines.
Bottle feeding
Bottle feeding is a risk for diarrhea (colitis, Crohn’s disease), reflux, ear infections, respiratory problems, diabetes, sleep apnea and enuresis; disorders concomitant with regressive autism. Kanner’s 65 year old correlation between autistic children and refrigerators seems to support bottle feeding as a factor in regressive autism. (The refrigerator is used to prevent the contents of the baby bottles from spoiling.)Vaccination
There is information which agrees with parental reports that their child started regressing following vaccination. Diarrhea and ear infections are both complications of measles and adverse reactions to MMR vaccination. In addition, although the cause of colitis is unknown, colitis attacks can be caused by respiratory infection. Since pertussis, mumps and measles are respiratory infections DpT and MMR could cause an attack of colitis.Obstructive sleep apnea
The combination of bottle feeding followed by a respiratory infection can result in sleep apnea. Sleep apnea underlies diarrhea (colitis, Crohn’s disease), reflux, ear infections, respiratory problems, diabetes, sleep apnea, enuresis and gout. Additionally, oxygen deprivation can injure the brain.Gender sensitivity
Boys are diagnosed with regressive autism four times as often as girls. The historic profile of sleep apnea (and gout) patients is: “Older overweight men, and women after menopause.” In other words, historically, women are not as susceptible to sleep apnea as men. Irritable bowel syndrome and premenstrual syndrome seem to be manifestations of sleep apnea, said episodes being initiated because of the fluid retained by the ladies bodies.I surmise that fluid retention increases girls’ vulnerability to sleep apnea such that a simultaneous respiratory infection could initiate sleep apnea, which in turn sets off regressive autism. Possible mandatory respiratory infections could be Measles, mumps and pertussis are all respiratory infections, and frequently exposure to them is mandatory.
The problem is “How can the fluid retention/respiratory infection synchronization be demonstrated? A confounding factor would be children who develop “sleep apnea of immaturity”. Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch
