It is FACT! Poverty and lack of good, consistent health care can increase risk to certain diseases. For instance, TB has increased in inner city areas due to poverty and illegal immigration. This is not an anti-immigrant statement! If we are not aware of these trends, we cannot improve the situation!.

Can anyone help me?????? Nell- I just finished the book and will likely re-read it and take notes this time. I also emailed Tenna for a recommendation of a MH close to me. I’ve been fully emersed in Candida talk for over ayear since I’ve been trying to heal myself and never heard of the Aluminum…maybe this is why I haven’t been able to heal myself. Very good book and it left me wanting to learn much more from Tenna.

I'm not sure I believe vaccines cause autism, but I do believe there is a strong possibility there is a link between the two. I still think more research needs to be done. Autism is certainly on the rise and the numbers just continue to increase. There is actually a really great debate about the possible link between vaccines and autism at www.opposingviews.com/questions/are-autism-and-vaccines-linked. Multiple experts from both sides debate the issue, and there is a guy named Kevin Leitch who is really taking on some of the groups who believe the two are linked. Really informative debate!

Thanks for posting. Interestingly enough, I have researched this information and it is also related to endometriosis! Had not heard about aluminium which is good to know. Sugar and gluten definitely feed the candida... Regarding tippy toe walking, that seems a bit much. My oldest daughter did this constantly. To the point that the pediatrician recommended some exercises so the Achilles' tendon would not "atrophy," but she eventually grew out of it and has never been even remotely linked with autism. One of my other daughters did it too, but not as much and is also very healthy. Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

I will check out the book soon. My 11 year old is on the spectrum and also has Non Verbal Learning Disorder. I have a love/hate thing with vaccines. I do believe that they can be helpful, but it has taken lots of chelation therapy to get the toxins out of his body. These same toxins that his brother's body eliminates quite easily. Go figure. Personally, I think that autism is one way to show us how different all of these kids are and how a single treatment won't work for everyone. What works for these kids is for someone to really find out the problem that this individual child is having and then go after it. There is no "one size fits all" in autism.

Sugar is the number one substance that feeds the candida. It is also a substance (not a food, as it goes straight into the blood stream and not through the digestive system), that greatly affects behaviour. It is also a very addictive substance. It is very likely that the sugar in the soda has an equal or greater impact on the drinker than the aluminium in the can.

I just finished the book this weekend. Thank you. I've passed it on to a friend whose son is on the autistic scale. Regarding the poster who claimed my first sentence was crap. I do take offense to this. I didn't specify which undocumented/illegal people/immigrants live in my area. Mexicans are not the only country who wish to live here. Not everyone gets vaccines and that is their personal choice. Not everyone attends school for that matter (think adults) Just because health care is "free" doesn't mean you use it or have access to it. Tiffany. I just finished the book this weekend. Thank you.

My son tested Very high for aluminum (his highest toxicity) and we have worked hard to get it out. He also has horrible yeast issues, is intolerant to gluten, corn, has issues with soy (because of copper) and is lactose intolerant. However, he was adopted from Russia and had a horrible stomach bacteria that had to be treated with medications that were high in aluminum. He also had parasites so he had to take flagyl (VERY high in aluminum). All vaccines are high in aluminum as well so we stay away. My favorite book is Doris Rapp's book because it helped me discover his intolerances when allergy testing did not help.
