New Modeling Technique Shows That Glutamate and Glycine May Cause Autism
Posted by Paul Ericson on December 17, 2009
The Center for Modeling Optimal Outcomes® LLC, a New Jersey based think tank, has developed a new modeling technique for homeostasis that it believes shows a possible cause for autism.
The model appears to show that Autism Spectrum Disorders are triggered by disruptions in the homeostatic relationship of several variables:
“The Center’s Life Sciences group was able to formulate a scientifically verifiable model for the highly probable causal path of autism. Through the application of their model, it became apparent that autism is an outcome of several variables that, when the homeostatic relationship of each one is disrupted, a “perfect storm” scenario results in autism. The application of the model identified several of the variables that account for why boys have a 4 to 1 ratio of instances over girls as well as why not every boy is affected.
While the scientific community will have to validate The Center’s findings, the model for assessing homeostatic relationships indicates the “trigger” behind autism is an imbalance between a pair of amino acid neurotransmitters; glutamate and glycine.
According to The Center’s founder, William McFaul, a retired business person and not a member of the scientific community, “Because of its universal applicability, our Life Sciences group has already used the model as a tool to identify highly probable causal paths for several illnesses and disease entities. Autism was one of most difficult illnesses The Center had attempted to analyze. If it hadn’t been for so many parents insisting that vaccines were responsible for the condition, we might never have found the fact that the stabilizer in MMR and a few other vaccines is hydrolyzed gelatin; a substance that is approximately 21% glycine. It appears that, based on readily verifiable science, the use of that form of glycine triggers an imbalance between the amino acid neurotransmitters responsible for the absorption rate of certain classes of cells throughout the body. It is that wide-spread disruption that apparently results in the systemic problems that encompass the mind and the body characterized in today’s ‘classic’ autism.” He also added, “The use of our model indicates each of the disorders within Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is attributable to different disruptions in homeostasis. We look forward to sharing our findings relative to each disorder with the scientific community.”
Of course the implications of the model are profound. Vaccine researchers and pharmaceutical companies will bristle at the mere suggestion that core vaccine ingredients like MSG and glycine are dangerous. Government regulators at the FDA, CDC and NIH will realize that they have failed adaquately protect the public so will likely try to remain in denial about this. Time will tell if the model can survive scientific scrutinty and produce useful results for researchers. If it persists it may well revolutionize medicine and nutrition.
