The incidence of autism in children has been steadily rising over the past 50 years.

What has changed?

One significant correlation that we are aware of is the connection between elevated levels of toxic heavy metals and autism, as well as other learning-based disorders.

So join me on today’s #CabralConcept 2945, where I go over the link between toxic heavy metals and autism and discuss what we can do to better understand it. Enjoy the show and feel free to share your thoughts!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. What Did The Research Show

A study analyzed mercury levels in 254 Texas counties, revealing that for every 1,000 pounds of mercury released into the environment, there was a 17% increase in autism rates.

2. How Are Children Exposed to Heavy Metals

Children can be exposed to heavy metals in various ways, including prenatal exposure from the mother during pregnancy and daily environmental exposure.

3. What Can We Do

To address elevated heavy metal levels, women planning pregnancy can undergo mineral and metal testing and explore heavy metal detoxification methods. Similarly, both adults and children can undergo heavy metal testing and follow detox protocols to reduce oxidative stress.
