I've been reading sites.. Researching.. And it's noticable that more people seem to have more illness and rare disorders and sickness's more then ever before..
More virus's to contend with....
The assault on the body, the auditory system, the sensory system, the immune system, the brain and this most surely has to be effecting our health..
Our lives.. Our planet..
It's just totally amazing what one can find out there by reading and researching....
Everything is much louder theses days..
The air and water is more toxic theses days.
It's just so hard to try to stay healthy..
but it does help to keep informed on what one can to to try to protect their ears and ear health..
Their body health because all things do work as a unit in trying to heal..
And the body has a natural inclination for wanting to do that...
I was reading an articule in Time Magazine.. I'm a big reader of Time and they had May 15 2006 called.. New Insights Into The Hidden World Of Autism...
It says like many people with Autism, Hannah is so acutely sensitive to sound that she'll catch every word of a conversation occuring elsewhere in the house, which may account for much of her knowledge.
She is allso hypersensitive to visual output..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This disorder effects the auditory system in some way, the brain, the sense's..
Also written .. The Curious Incident.. Dr Thomas Insel , Director Of The National Institute Of Mental Health ( NIMH ), which funds most of the autism research , remembers a time when the disorder was rarely diagnoised . "
When my brother trained at Childrens Hospital at Harvard in the 1970's , they admitted a child with autism, and the head of the hospital brought all the residents through to see, " says Insel.
" He said, You've got to see this case, you'll never see it again......
Also at the Center for Children's Enviromental Health and Disease Prevention at the University of California at Davis, toxicologist Issac Pessah is studying hair , blood , urine and tissue samples from 700 familys with autism.
He's testing for 17 metals, traces of pesticides , opioids and other toxicants.
In March Pessah caused a stir by releasing a study that showed that even even the low levels of mercury used in vacines perserved in thimersol,
long a suspect in autism, can trigger irregularites in the immune- system cells- at least
in the test tube...
Oh and I just want to say I have the results of that study that was published that shows what happens..
Explain's what they saw in detail....
But from the enviromental side..
There probably no one trigger that causeing autism from the enviromental side, " says Pessah, " and there is no one gene thats causeing it "..
Yes.. I've been reading about that enviromental triggers and then I think of that town in
Texas what a high rate of autism..
I think it was by a coal power plant..
I can't remember the exact details but I found it highly interesting reading...
And The Body Burden Series.. Is fascanating reading as well...
http://www.bodyburden.org/All this does have an effect on our auditory health..
Just how much so besides what they do know..
More research needs to be done on this...
For sure....
To add to the thread above...
Whats In You ??
We don't know the effect it has on our health but scientists do have
suspicions...
