The most recent studies in the field of autism demonstrate that the incidence of the condition is rising exponentially in relation to the likelihood of the condition occurring in the population.<\/p>\n
From a toxicological perspective, it is striking just how much certain substances affect the development and growth of the human brain. If we first examine the data available from the United States of America, we see that, as regards the autism spectrum, in 1975, one in 5,000 children had the condition; one in 2,500 in 1985; then one in 500 in 1995; and subsequently the rates were 1 in 250, 1 in 166, 1 in 150, 1 in 110, 1 in 88, reaching 1 in 68 by 2014. This spectrum encompasses severe autism, as well as ReH and Asperger\u2019s syndromes. As a result, in America, 40 per cent of children have an IQ below 70, whilst the normal range is 100.<\/p>\n
The problem is that this decline in IQ is also attributable to environmental factors. One of the main factors is the presence of heavy metals in the human body, caused by pollutants. Autism, which is not a hereditary condition, is a clear example of the environmental pressures on people. It is therefore important to tackle at least the issue of heavy metals, and in this context, zeolite can provide practical help, as we know that it binds them and acts as a natural detoxifier.<\/p>\n
clinoptilolite exhibits the following selectivity when present in an environment containing the following elements: Cs > Pb > NH\u2084 > Na > Sr > Cd, Cu, Zn. As we know, lead is one of the most toxic elements harmful to human health. Consequently, we have an effective tool which, in the future, may be scientifically recognised as a means of addressing the incidence of autism in problem areas, where the environment causes health problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
