AUTISM AND AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDERS
Seagreens® are natural health products. These complete natural vitamins with their nutritional balance, contribution to digestion and the immune system and central role as a natural detox for heavy metals, has attracted wide interest among those who are concerned with the management of Autistic Spectrum Disorders.
(ASD)
Whilst autism can vary widely in individuals there is some anecdotal evidence that Seagreens® natural health products may prove helpful where there is evidence of the following:
· Inability to bind and remove heavy metals
· Deficient amino acids
· Mineral imbalance
· Thyroid disorders, hypothyroid
· Dysfunctional digestion, dysbiosis, acidosis
· Compromised immunity, candida
· Disturbed fatty acid metabolism, electrolyte imbalance
· Dry skin, listless hair, poor circulation
· High levels of free radicals, heavy metals, amino acids and minerals
A previously unreleased confidential report from the US Centres for Disease Control reports that an exposure to more than 62.5 micrograms of mercury within the first three months of life more than doubles a child’s risk of developing autism. The US legal firm Waters and Kraus, who are representing many families in a class action indicated that in many cases the firm evaluated, the affected child had received more than 62.5 micrograms of mercury in paediatric vaccines in the first three months of life. (16)
In 2000, Sallie Bernard and colleagues linked the mercury based preservative Thimerosal (49% ethyl mercury) not only to autism but to related syndromes such as ADHD (17)
Thimerosal is used widely as a preservative in vaccines, antitoxins, tuberculin tests and desensitisation solutions. It may also be found in soap-free cleansers, nose, eye, and ear drops, eye ointments, topical medications, antiseptic sprays, cosmetics (including makeup removers, eye moisturisers, and mascaras) and cleaning fluids for contact lenses.
UK regulators have recommended phasing out the use of thimerosal in vaccines (18)

Autistic children often have increased levels of cadmium, mercury, aluminium, arsenic, lead and other common toxic metals. At the same time, they may be deficient in some important minerals like zinc and iron and yet have unusually high levels of others like copper. They appear to have problems transporting minerals in and out of cells and in binding and removing the toxic metals. They may be unable to produce the appropriate protein metal transporters or metallothionines (MTs) which in turn may be due to difficulties in metabolising amino acids critical in the production of MTs.(14)
An American study of 503 autistic children found 99% with metallothionine deficiency . (15)
WhileSeagreens® natural health products themselves contain all the naturally occurring foundation minerals and trace elements, including traces of the heavy metals there is nevertheless a net extraction of these elements from the body through a variety of mechanisms, The tiny amount of arsenic in Seagreeens® natural health products (0.0116mg), for example, is in a form not absorbed by the body. Strontium is not the radioactive kind, but the same as is found naturally with calcium in milk.
“IT MAY SEEM STRANGE TO BE SINGING THE PRAISES OF SEAWEED AS A VALUABLE SOURCE OF MINERALS, THEN SAYING HOW IT CAN BE USED TO REMOVE METALS FROM THE BODY. THIS IS A PARADOX OF A NATURAL SYSTEM, WORKING BOTH WAYS AT THE SAME TIME, REMOVING IMBALANCES, RESTORING THINGS THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE, SOMETHING THAT NO MODERN WONDER DRUG HAS EVER MANAGED TO ACHIEVE”. – Marine biologist – Sonia Surey-Gent
“in order to function well the body has to have a constant supply of certain vital nutrients: zinc, magnesium, selenium, molybdenum and other minerals and trace elements, hundreds of enzymes, many amino acids and essential fats – all the substances which our autistic children are deficient in” (19)
Seagreens® natural health products - Nature's natural multivitamin can help as they provide daily optimum nutrition via a combination of natural whole food supplementation and gentle natural detox.
