Oh and no doctor or actual scientist would be interested in testing you or looking at your "findings". You have a sample size of one so this wasn't a controlled or statistically meaningful study to start. Since you had no autism diagnosis to start with your results are meaningless with regard to the condition. Other explanations like you were never really on the spectrum and this is all psychological or placebo are highly plausable. I mean seriously you want to be a doctor but you have no clue how science is done.



Mmhmm, so my email conversation with Dr. Stephanie Seneff (computer science researcher/autism researcher) was a figment of my imagination. My conversations with my GP - same thing. Must be 3 for 3 with the ND I've discussed these things in a bit more depth with.

What is the point of your responses to my posts? What value do they bring to the conversation? I've been sharing the exact same thing, consistently, for ~9 years - because it's true and more recent medical studies confirm it - but you're still free to say "I don't believe you," and then exit stage left instead of cluttering up threads with the same ol' same ol' "I don't believe you despite medical studies saying exactly the same as you have for the last 9 years."

Hmm, yes.. I figured out the cause of my ASD symptoms and how to treat and manage them and I have no idea how science is done.. yes, must be that.


I think you should be banned for dispensing medical advise without a license or degree.


You can think whatever you want. I've never claimed to be a doctor, in fact, I've fully disclosed consistently for 9+ years that I am not a Medical Doctor and that I am simply sharing what I have learned and done that works for me and that I believe I am far from the only one it can help. Since Doctors and ASD researchers have begun to catch up to what I've learned, I also now defer to their expertise and share links to the studies they've done that pinpoint exactly what I've been sharing. I'm sure this helps those who suffer from the symptom/trait of only accepting information from credentialed sources.


So listening to my doctor instead of some new age internet jackwagon is a trait or symptom of autism. Interesting.


No. I said that some people have the trait/symptom of only accepting information from official or credentialed sources.

Pretty sure that petty insults are against the forum rules, btw. Disagree with me all you like, but there's no need for petty name calling.

They got it right.


"Yes, I believe autism is a genetic condition." is not evidence that it is.

Gibberish article of speculation and self-comforting beliefs vs. evidence of anything.

"May be caused by," is not the same as "is definitely," or "is only." In fact, the end of this study acknowledges that environmental factors may be in play. At least they're onto something and admit they don't yet know the answers.

All three say it's mostly or primarily genes. Do you believe they have nothing at all to do with it?

Interesting how 20% of the cause, according to them, can be treated and reduce symptoms by ~95%. Paretos law, I suppose!

Inheritable != necessarily genetic. We also inherit our gut flora from our mothers.

I don't know. What I do know is that I haven't altered my genetics, only my gut flora, and the results on ASD symptoms are profoundly positive.

Web MD article says only one percent was found due to maternal factors.

What are they claiming the other 99% are?

Book stores? I bought some at Chapters. There are many, MANY, more books about autism that I've never even heard of never mind read.

You've been here a long time. How many forum regulars have you cured?
