Autism  David Christopher, M.H.

I receive many inquiries about autism including what is a person to do to protect their children from this devastating syndrome.  First I have to explain what autism is and what it is not.
“Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impairs a child’s ability to communicate and interact with others.  It also includes restricted repetitive behaviors, interests and activities.” -Mayo Clinic. Besides this definition let me list what is the medical mainstream view of autism.



Medical view:
*It is a psychiatric disorder
*It is not an epidemic.  Rather current diagnosis is better today and it is an ancient disorder.
*It is genetic
*It is not environmental
*It is not due to toxins
*It does not include intestinal disease
*Exclusion diets are not helpful
*Regression is extremely rare
*There is no recovery

Commenting on their views from the last mentioned to the first, I have heard of recoveries and I have witnessed improvements. Regression is not rare but is the norm.  In other words they were not born with the condition but developed it. Exclusion diets are extremely helpful. A majority of autistic children have accompanying gastro-intestinal disease. Damage to brain cells in autistic children follows the same pattern as all other reported environmental toxic damage. It cannot be genetic, at least according to the top geneticists in the country.  If going from one child in ten thousand to one child in one hundred in three decades doesn’t qualify as an epidemic then what does?  It is definitely an epidemic unprecedented in the history of the world, whether they want to admit it or not.  If their “newspeak” is correct in terms of  it being an ancient disease and increases are solely due to improved diagnosis, then of the 10 billion people who lived on the earth prior to 1930 over one billion people would have been autistic according to present percentages.  Shouldn’t we ask, “Is it possible that not one physician ever came in contact with even one of those autistic individuals? “ That is highly unlikely due to the preciseness of disease description of physicians of earlier centuries.  Finally, it is recorded in the medical texts starting from the 1930’s “that autism was a psychological disorder found only in the children of well-educated and wealthy people.” That is disproven today.  However, we can point out the correlating fact that in the late 30’s only rich people could afford the mercury and aluminum laden vaccines.  Only when the vaccines became affordable did autism show up in the middle class.  In addition, only when the vaccines were mandated did autism show up in poor families. Similar to lead, mercury and aluminum are environmental toxins.  It doesn’t matter whether you breathe them in, absorb them from water through the skin or have them injected into the body through needles they all cause nerve damage.

In conclusion, I tell everyone I can that autism is extremely difficult to treat and should be avoided at all costs- so do not let anyone inject toxins into your children. If they already have been damaged then fruit juice cleansing and metal pulling routines as explained in Dr. Christopher’s Three Day Cleanse book are advised.

Super Thick Coconut "Yogurt"

Vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, no bake/raw, nut-free, oil-free, soy-free
 
This “shortcut” coconut yogurt is as simple and fresh as it gets! I occasionally buy coconut yogurt from the grocery store, but when I want something that is super fresh and without any added ingredients I will make this version for a fun treat. Granted, it's not a true yogurt since there's no fermentation, but I love how quick this version is. I often take the shortcut by purchasing frozen coconut meat (found in the freezer section of some health food grocers, like Organic Garage or Whole Foods) rather than buying young coconuts. Once the meat is thawed it just takes a minute of blending to create a yogurt with a texture similar to Greek yogurt. If you are well-versed with young coconuts and a cleaver, feel free to scoop out the flesh the old-fashioned way too! I recommend making this recipe in advance so it has time to chill in the fridge. Thanks to Gena from Choosing Raw for the recipe inspiration!

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups fresh young Thai coconut meat (or thawed Young Thai Coconut Meat, see headnote)
  • 1/2 cup coconut water (or use filtered water in a pinch)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (reduce for a less tart flavor)
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon probiotic powder, optional (you can empty probiotic capsules, if desired)
  • pinch of pink salt or fine grain sea salt
  • liquid sweetener to taste (I use 1 tablespoon natural cane sugar)
Directions:
  1. Add all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend on low, gradually increasing the speed to high, until super smooth. Keep blending until it’s not grainy anymore. Adjust sweetness to taste by adding sweetener if desired and blending again. I add a tablespoon of cane sugar and blend on high to pulverize it in my Vitamix.
  2. Spoon the yogurt into an air-tight container and chill in the fridge for at least a couple hours.
  3. Serve with granola and chia seed jam, parfait-style, if desired. Or simply enjoy alone. This yogurt is also great mixed into vegan overnight oats or added to smoothies! I’m not positive on the shelf life because we usually enjoy it within a couple days, but I imagine it lasts at least a few days in the fridge in an air-tight container.
 
Tip: In the photo, I made parfaits with strawberry-raspberry chia seed jam paired with a granola that I’m testing for my next cookbook (in the meantime, check out my Lightened Up Summer granola and the granola clusters in the Oh She Glows Cookbook)
