Maternal nutrition ties to autism? My plan for healthy babies takes on a
new sense of urgency with this latest research!! Please read if you have
anyone that might go through a pregnancy this year; they need to know this.
This new study about children born less than 1 year after the last child
having three times the incidence of autism suggests to me that maternal
nutrition is compromised after one child. The second pregnancy following too
closely does not give the needed time to
replete nutrients lost during the last pregnancy.
I point out that all planned pregnancies ideally need to be preceded by
ideally a year of detoxification. But, now we can see that also we need to
build expectant mothers up nutritionally with far higher levels of nutrients
found in today's totally outmoded prenatal supplement formulas.
Just more vitamin D alone would reduce this tragic incidence of autism. My
preferred prenatal is Beyond Chelation Improved, as that way we also get
the essential fatty acids and the total spectrum of useful minerals while
gently chelating out toxins with things like garlic and dl methione and oral
EDTA, which alone has 507 references about its efficacy in lowering lead
levels even in occupationally exposed workers on my www.gordonresearch.com
website.
Ideally I always also recommend my "power drink" using organic greens and
Beyond Fiber and Maca and BioEn'R-G'y C, one slightly heaping tsp of each
in 10+ ounces of good mineralized water like Pellegrino. And, for those
willing, add Quinton Marine Plasma to that program. Then you can expect to have
the healthiest possible baby known as Quinton babies, as putting in ultra
trace minerals found only in this sea water based nutrient mineral drink
has been shown to save lives of very sick babies so let them get it from
their mother while in-utero too.

Closely Spaced Pregnancies Linked to Autism Risk
By JENNIFER CORBETT DOOREN
WASHINGTON -- Closely spaced pregnancies were associated with an increase
in the odds of a second child being diagnosed with autism, according to a
study involving California children.
The study, which the journal Pediatrics published online Monday, showed
the sooner conceptions followed the prior birth of a sibling, the greater the
likelihood of the second child having an autism diagnosis.
The study looked at more than 660,000 second-born children in California
between 1992 to 2002. The study measured the time the second child was
conceived relative to the first child, and then looked at autism diagnosis of the
second sibling.
The study found that second children who were conceived less than 12
months after the first child's birth were three times more likely to be
diagnosed with autism than children spaced further apart. Second children conceived
less than two years after the first had almost twice the odds of receiving
an autism diagnosis.
Autism diagnoses were determined by looking at records of the California
Department of Developmental Services, However, researchers cautioned that
additional studies need to be done to confirm the findings.
Still, one of the researchers, Peter Bearman, a sociologist at Columbia
University in New York, said "we see this really profound association" that
remained when other factors, such as the age of the parents were looked at.
"We don't know what causes this," he said.
One possibility is that closely spaced pregnancies deplete the mother of
important nutrients. But the other possibility is that parents are more
aware of the development of a second child and can spot when the child seems to
be delayed compared to the first, Bearman explained. This might allow a
child with autism to be diagnosed sooner.
But the actual number of autism cases seen in the study was less than 1%,
with 3,137 cases out of the 662,730 second-born children that were in the
study.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that as many as 1
in 110 U.S. children have an autism spectrum disorder, which includes
autism, Asperger's syndrome and pervasive developmental disorders.
There's no known cure for autism, which is characterized impairments in
social interaction, communication and unusual behavior and interests, but
therapy and medication can improve symptoms.
Bearman's study didn't include first-borns with autism. Other research has
suggested people who already have a child with autism have a higher risk
of having another child with autism or an autism spectrum disorder.
Bearman explained that several environmental, social and genetic factors
likely play a role in the development of autism.
The debate about one factor - childhood vaccines - still remains. Last
week researchers further discredited a 1998 paper that linked the measles,
mumps and rubella vaccines to autism, saying the paper was based on falsified
data.
Pediatrics' study was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
