Possible Causes and effects

• Genetic predisposition
• Mercury in vaccines
• Food intolerances

resulting in -

• Abnormal Immune Response (Antibodies to Intestinal cells)

resulting in -

• Damage to small intestine

which leads to -

• Mal-absorption - 'Leaky gut syndrome'

results in -

• Vitamin and Mineral deficiencies
• Peptide overload

which then leads to -

• Brain dysfunction

affecting -

either or both

• Thalamus
• Cortex and ('Higher centres')

Damage to Thalamus causes

• High pain tolerance
• Interruption of speech pathways
• Inability to learn from experience
• Self-harming

Damage to Cortex (Higher centres) causes

• Visual disorders
• Hearing disorders
• Reduced intellect (in some children)

Damage to Thalamus and Cortex (Higher centres) causes

• Speech disorders
• Reduced awareness
• Failure to conceptualise (imagine)
• Loss of ability to "think" laterally
• Social dysfunction
• Ritualisation/repetition
