| Genetics - Is The Goliath In Autism Research About To Fall? |

| BLUF: [ET via Zero] Genetic diseases aren’t responsible for epidemics," Dr. Arthur Krigsman, a specialist who treats children with ASD around the world, told The Epoch Times. "There’s something in the environment that’s triggering a gene that otherwise would be silent. There is no gene responsible for an epidemic." Also of interest at this link: Excerpt: Biomedicine The more obvious biomedical basis for the absence of autism in the Amish community is the fact that throughout many centuries they have rigorously followed organic farming and have been consuming only organic produce grown mostly on their own farms, by themselves. Their food is therefore pesticide free and is consistently sustained as such over many generations. And the Amish continue to maintain the same till today. This practice reveals what may be interpreted as their belief and understanding of biomedicine as "food being medicine". This mindset and conditioning is again in alignment with their reverence for the land, respect for the values that they uphold, one such value being living in harmony with the forces of nature and viewing their food as being divine and pure. As the rest of the world is dealing with the rise in the debilitating symptoms in autism at least partially precipitated by genetically modified and pesticide-laden food, the Amish have been protected from the same. Perhaps we really "are what we eat.? |
