"We found impairments in white matter in the main tract connecting the right and left hemispheres of the brain in children with either autism, ADHD or OCD, when compared to healthy children in the control group," says Dr. Stephanie Ameis, first author on the study and clinician-scientist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health's (CAMH's) Campbell Family Mental Health Research Institute. This particular white matter tract, the corpus callosum, is the largest in the brain and among the first to develop"






You remember all that blathering I did a couple years ago about connective tissue? Ok, so you've slept since then.

Anyway, I've been posting for years that autism is a connective tissue defect, and this article proves it. (The white matter they talk about IS connective tissue in the brain, btw...)

Sulfur is used by the body to repair and form connective tissue. If you cannot break it efficiently down you cannot process enough for a child to get what it needs to form regulation brain structure.

I have also guessed that 20% of the population has a sulfur processing deficiency in some form (you can be affected anywhere in the process from sulfur to sulfite to sulfate). 9% of women and 5% of men report unusual reactions to alcohol- which has a ton of sulfites. This would probably correspond to the numbers of children with spectrum disorders, once you factor in the number of people that never had kids or has more than one ASD child.

My spouse's mother has a sulfa drug allergy, and my spouse has Aspergers.
I have a sulfite intolerance and I and my kid are Dyspraxic. Different intolerances form different brain disorders. The high IQ is caused by ramped up connections in some parts of the brain and disconnects in others.

This means that processed food really is causing a large portion of brain disorders. It also means it has made humans smarter, since sulfur has been used since Roman times, but has also caused much of the disability and violent behaviors.

Would humanity be better off without these preservatives? I know I am. I hate the thought that I may not have been who I am without them, but I may have also been happier and more productive without the struggles I had in school and now, physically.

I think this also means that some of these disorders could be treated with focused steroids that act on connective tissue, but could not be cured, unless the parts of the genome that affect mineral adsorption and usage could be chopped out and repaired, and since that is something that has far far far too many variables, means it will NEVER be fixed in humans. (Thus the worst news ever part of the headline)
Each mineral used by the body would have it's own section(s) of code that regulate it. Also, other substances used by the body like folic acid disregulation may cause other mental disorders, so the whole thing turns into a jumbled ball of strings....

Anyhow. Don't care much if you read this or understand or care. Just wanted to get it out of my own head.


PS. It could also mean that once they figure out what causes what that they could reverse engineer it to figure out what intolerances parents have that they don't know they have, and help people be healthier there, too. Just a thought. Might cut heart attack and stroke rates, among other things.

PSS. Also, sulfur kills bacteria, which is why they use it in food. It also kills GOOD bacteria, which is probably causing a whole host of other problems as well.

It's because connective tissue disorders are variable disorders, one day something can function and the rest of the time, it doesn't or not well, anyway. It can affect many things or one thing.

Autism is just like that. It's why it's taken so long to figure the difference in Bipolar, ADD, and Aspergers, and Autism because they all CAN have similar affects, and there is a thousand symptoms that vary daily in the person and across the spectrum. Your connections find new pathways, but if there is no functioning connection the signal never gets through, so it has to be an effect of random connections being affected to different stretchy degrees, just like ligaments in Ehler-Danlos can work one day and be too stretchy the next.
