Beavers"To: emfguru -------------------------------------------------- .......Another "suspicious" illness that derives from neuroendicrine disorder??? EMF induced??? Don is justified in asking that question - it seems to me...... Do you suppose that any "responsible" government or medical "person" will look into the possibility.....???

In my opinion there is adequate evidence that EMF exposure over a certain level is also starts a "disease process that elevates their immune system to a dysfunctional level." Regards Don Maisch TITLE: Medical Board Says Autism Epidemic may not be Autism SOURCE: PR Newswire- Mar 31 9:17 AM ET A statistical study commissioned by MAT: Medicine for Autism Today projects that the population of children with special needs/learning disabilities will be growing at a rate three times faster than the general pediatric population by next year. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/000331/ny_mat_med_1.html News item excerpt: There is strong anecdotal evidence that a large subset of children with "acquired" autism, where symptoms do not emerge until after the child's first birthday, suffer from a disease process that elevates their immune system to a dysfunctional level. "We are calling this epiphenomenon "NIDS" -- Neuro-Immune Dysfunction Syndromes," [says Dr. Goldberg]. "An increasing number of studies in national journals are linking the regulation of the immune system with nervous system diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis and even Alzheimer's Disease. Cognitive function, memory, and fatigue may all be controlled by small molecule immune modulators." added Galpin.

He is the President of the NIDS Medical Advisory Board and is on the clinical teaching staff at both UCLA and Cedars-Sinai Hospitals. He has seventeen years experience in evaluating and treating children with disorders that fall within the evolving spectrum of "NIDS", including autism, ADD/ADHD and chronic fatigue syndrome. Dr. Goldberg possesses a patient panel of over 400 with varying NIDS conditions. This patient base has provided the NIDS Board with several preliminary findings relative to immune dysregulation and brain blood flow patterns through NeuroSpect analyses. - Dr. Jeffrey Galpin, Associate Professor at the University of Southern California and Infectious Disease specialist. -- end -- _______________________________ EMFacts Consultancy PO Box 96, North Hobart, 7002 Tasmania, Australia Phone: (03) 62430195 Fax: (03) 62430340 Email: emfacts@trump.net.au ICQ: 30814841 Web: http://www.tassie.net.au/emfacts/ ______________________________ Archive provided courtesy of WaveGuide, http://www.wave-guide.org Reprinted with permission of Roy Beavers, http://www.emfguru.com
