Faulty Logic

Response to Merlin: Just take it easy now.

 
You said:

I am not really into temporary responses and put my son thru various meds, diets, etc., till they discover all those genes that show damages and then we will see.

MY dream is to get you to see that if you don't intervene now, it will be too late for your son to benefit from advances.

Let's use the example of Cystic Fibrosis. There is a single gene and we know where it is. Perhaps in time we will be able to replace the gene. But even then, it won't fix the damage already done to the lungs - it will just keep more damage from occuring. So the best thing a CF patient can do is to do what you call "temporary responses" to minimize the lung damage. Then when the genetic fix comes along, the lungs are in the best shape possible.

The same can be said for kids labeled autistic who have digestive issues, etc, that affect the way the brain develops. When the genetic fix comes along, it may prevent further mercury damage, opiate effect, etc., but it won't undo what has already been done to the brain. Your best hope is to keep the brain from being further damaged and to keep the brain as flexible as possible by therapies such as chelation, SI, diet, enzymes, etc (of course choosing the ones applicable to that individual). That way when drugs come along to compensate for any genetic issues, the brain and the body are in the best possible shape to benefit from these drugs.

There is a difference between dreams and goals. Goals are based in reality.

By the way, I use the term "genetic issues" instead of "faulty genetics" because I don't believe the genetics are faulty - they are just incompatible with the unnatural existance we live in today, where we inject poisons into newborns and eat foods colored with petroleum products (which is what yellow dye essentially is). It's like saying that if a nuclear bomb exploded over your house and one of you survived, the others had "faulty genetics." They didn't have faulty genetics - the survivor just had lucky genetics.
