What is Autism? Is there a cure?
___________________________________________________________

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. – Psalm 121
___________________________________________________________

“Our son Samuel was a bright, cheerful, bubbling 1 year old, always playing and happily interacting with family members. Then he got his MMR vaccination and he began to immediately withdraw from the rest of us. In fact, he lost his appetite, and then he lost his speech and began to stare at his toys instead of playing with them. Our son was not born retarded but he was beginning to exhibit all the qualities of a mentally retarded child with extra complications. We cried and cried and when we took him to his pediatrician, we received no help at all. Finally, after hours and hours of prayer and research, we found out what many suffering parents and children have since found out: Samuel became severely autistic through the high level of mercury present in the vaccine and he needed intensive medical and therapeutic intervention in the hope for a cure.”

Thousands of cases such as the above mentioned testimony is surfacing all over the world, from New Zealand to India to Japan to the U.S. etc. Autism is often accompanied by extreme cases of digestive disorder; sleep disorder and many other complications. There is a wide spectrum of autism. Many are at risk for self-injury and injury to others around them. The medical community at large is dead against accepting the truth of the cause and treatment necessary to help victims of mercury poisoning from vaccinations. Pharmaceutical companies pressure legislators (bribery is nothing new in this fast decaying world) into telling lies so as to support the steady criminal income derived from selling these high mercury content vaccines to hospitals and clinics all over the world.

Recently, the truth has been leaking out little by little. However for many victims it has come too late. At least many others may be helped if they heed the warnings of this article and other information sources to help prevent autism. The news has been recently informing the public that pregnant women and even little girls should not eat fish containing mercury because it will cause developmental delay in their children. When pressed for the whole truth of how the mercury in the vaccines is causing direct damage to the recipients, the medical organizations and pharmaceutical companies state that there is no correlation between the two. However, they defy plain logic, for why then would they caution little girls of mercury toxicity from fish way before they ever have a child. The same poisonous mercury is pumped into babies since birth through the vaccines. The injustice is beyond imagination! For the sake of money, greedy stockowners in pharmaceutical companies, medical professionals as well as the manufacturers themselves are destroying innocent lives all over the world.
As far as a cure, only Jesus Christ can cure any disease or disorder. All methods and means employed successfully are a gift from Him. There are a lot of things that may help improve the functionality of the victim but only God can cure the person. With God’s help, there are a number of things that are imperative if one is to help an autistic person.

First, know and believe that there is hope! For those of you who have tried many things and are frustrated, please do not give up. It is not merely a pep talk that we are giving her but a practical truth and reality: With God all things are possible

The links give below contain some very useful information but we do not follow all that is stated on the web but prayerfully do what God tells us to. Thus many harmful pitfalls can be avoided in this still, experimental stage of treating the autism spectrum disorder. There is a tiny percentage of the medical community called DAN doctors (Defeat Autism Now) who are treating these children. However, it is a wide spectrum and each child is different in his/her problems and needs. There is no universal guarantee that everything will work for everyone. That is why each child and his/her family needs Jesus Christ to give them the love and the patience they need for the child with the perseverance and self-sacrificial effort to lead them victoriously in this very difficult journey. Many, many caretakers (parents especially) keep going in circles with little or no progress because they do not rely on the Lord for help. It should be noted here that many parents are also simply selfish and lazy and the child ultimately suffers for this.

Many people are quick to write off autistic children and other patients to an institution for life. It is such a monstrosity to not give each individual human being the dignity of a second chance. Especially, for one who is not able to defend his or her self. Treatment options for recovery should be aggressively pursued on behalf of those who cannot speak up for themselves. If one trusts in Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior and believes in His love for the person with the disorder, then there is HOPE!

God will protect you from those who will seek to exploit you at this vulnerable time. God is able to supply the finances necessary for some of these expensive supplementations programs and treatments. The following treatments (given with associated links) are helpful in treating autism on the road to total recovery by God’s grace:

“Now unto him [Jesus Christ] that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us …”

PSALM 23:1 = MAZMUR 23:1
A Psalm of David

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
