3bmom Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Rachel posted this info on another thread. We have been discussing high levels of Glutamate causing neurological behavior. The articles make a lot of sense in regards to sulfur/methylation disrupting Glutamate levels in the brain. They see this disruption from glyphosate, heavy metals and infections. Another paper links this to the gut and liver. Very interesting! http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/articles/85179098/encephalopathy-mechanism-renew-sulfate-autism Is Encephalopathy a Mechanism to Renew Sulfate in Autism? Seneff, Stephanie; Lauritzen, Ann; Davidson, Robert M.; Lentz-Marino, Laurie Entropy;Jan2013, Vol. 15 Issue 1, p372 This paper makes two claims: (1) autism can be characterized as a chronic lowgrade encephalopathy, associated with excess exposure to nitric oxide, ammonia and glutamate in the central nervous system, which leads to hippocampal pathologies and resulting cognitive impairment, and (2), encephalitis is provoked by a systemic deficiency in sulfate, but associated seizures and fever support sulfate restoration. We argue that impaired synthesis of cholesterol sulfate in the skin and red blood cells, catalyzed by sunlight and nitric oxide synthase enzymes, creates a state of colloidal instability in the blood manifested as a low zeta potential and increased interfacial stress. Encephalitis, while life-threatening, can result in partial renewal of sulfate supply, promoting neuronal survival. Research is cited showing how taurine may not only help protect neurons from hypochlorite exposure, but also provide a source for sulfate renewal. Several environmental factors can synergistically promote the encephalopathy of autism, including the herbicide, glyphosate, aluminum, mercury, lead, nutritional deficiencies in thiamine and zinc, and yeast overgrowth due to excess dietary sugar. Given these facts, dietary and lifestyle changes, including increased sulfur ingestion, organic whole foods, increased sun exposure, and avoidance of toxins such as aluminum, mercury, and lead, may help to alleviate symptoms or, in some instances, to prevent autism altogether.

rowingmom Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Did you see this about Seneff? http://www.alternet.org/food/meet-controversial-mit-scientist-who-claims-have-discovered-cause-gluten-sensitivty?paging=off¤t_page=1#bookmark "I’m a computer scientist. I do natural language processing. I’ve done that for many years, we’ve built dialog systems that allow people to interact with information on the web through natural language, and I’ve transitioned to applications in biology over the past six or seven years." "Recently what I’ve gotten really interested in is processing the literature. So if you take the research literature on some topic, for example glyphosate, you can let the computer use NLP [Natural Language Processing] to help you organize the information that’s in the articles, and help you figure out the story. I think it’s a very powerful method for helping a biologist understand the biology, biochemistry and medical literature, and interpret it."

3bmom Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I had not seen this article. Very interesting. I have heard Seneff speak on Utube in regards to the Glyphosate and chelation of essential minerals. I don't know if her theory is perfect but she connects almost all of my own dots very closely. I know they want to discredit her just like Dr. Huber. Do you know about him? Retired Colonel after 40 years working for our gov't in plant pathology. Internationally known, reported to the Surgeon General, and our FDA is ignoring him about a new pathogen. Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
