Autism Rates Jump Again, As Diagnosis Improves The number of children diagnosed with autism jumped 23 percent between 2006 and 2008, according to the latest federal estimate. Now, 1 in 88 children has been diagnosed with autism, according to figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The rapid rise prompted calls to declare the developmental disorder an epidemic. “This is a national emergency in need of a national plan,” Mark Roithmayr, president of the advocacy group Autism Speaks, said at a CDC media briefing Thursday. But CDC scientists weren’t about to go that far. Instead, they said that most if not all of that startling increase could be due to better recognition of the disorder by parents, doctors and teachers.  Read More Dr. Jay’s Note:  From 2002 to 2008, the number of children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder has risen 78 percent and now one out of every 88 children in the U.S. will be diagnosed with autism. The ‘experts’ continue to claim that this increase is mainly due to better diagnosis techniques. I don’t buy it! These increasing rates should trigger epidemic alarms. As with all diseases, Autism is triggered by excess stress. We continue to poison our children with fake & heavily processed foods, chemical filled drinking water & an ever increasing vaccination load that contains known neurological toxins. To think that these acts don’t carry negative side-effects (genetic triggers) would be naive at best. Your best defense? Make informed decisions about your child’s lifestyle & healthcare. Educate yourself about what is going into our children (food, water, drugs, shots, etc.) so that you can be mindful of possible side effects. Investigate all options as there are almost always natural alternatives. Knowledge is power!

Few Allergies in Unstressed Babies, Swedish Researchers Find A new study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows that infants with low concentrations of the stress-related hormone cortisol in their saliva develop fewer allergies than other infants. Hopefully this new knowledge will be useful in future allergy prevention. The study is published in the December paper issue of Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. The incidence of allergies in children has increased over the past few decades, especially in the West. In Sweden, 30 to 40 percent of children have some kind of allergy. A combination of environmental and lifestyle factors during pregnancy and early infancy are thought to be responsible for the sharp rise in allergic diseases. “Psychosocial factors and the stress hormone cortisol are associated with allergic diseases,” says Dr Fredrik Stenius of the Department of Clinical Research and Education at Stockholm South General Hospital. “Our study found that children with low salivary cortisol levels as infants have a lower prevalence of allergies during the first two years of life, compared to other children.” Read More Dr. Jay’s Note:  Since allergy symptoms are a response to excess stress, then it is clear that when you lower the overall stress level allergies will become less frequent. Learn & practice healthy, holistic lifestyle choices that can not only decrease your overall stress load but will also increase your ability to adapt to your daily stress in an efficient way.
