HPV affects 20 million Americans, and each year, 5.5 million more are infected, usually through promiscuous sex.

brain diseases and gave a lecture on what she had learnt. In one paper
the hypothesis was that autistic children had a faulty detoxification
pathways in the liver. If so they would show higher levels of chemicals
eg pesticides. They tested some 20+ common chemicals - results were
these autistic children had 200-3000x normal levels of these chemicals.
The doctor detoxified these kids eg saunas removed sources of toxins
and provided nutritional support for liver detox pathways eg sulfur.
The kids significantly improved. I don't think enough people know about
this study.&lt;br&gt;

I think it's an important part of the larger picture.  But Dr. George Carlo, who used to head industry-sponsored research on electromagnetic fields, says he will publish a convincing study in April linking autism with EMF exposure.  (BTW, if you are electrosensitive, dealing with your mercury issues can help somewhat.)  In Japan in about 1996, a sudden rise in a condition called "jiheisho" was reported, in which people would shut themselves off from society.  It affected about 2% of all age groups in town after town throughout the country.  It was widely thought to be a "juvenile issue" but that was only because people don't notice as much when an older person shuts himself off.  The social workers who told me about it scoffed when I noted the timing coincided with widespread introduction of digital cell phone service.  Other researchers, however, noticed the coincidence and looked into it.  It was found that in people with "jiheisho" cerebral blood flow was affected by EMF.  If you know someone affected by electrosensitivity, I recommend they join us at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/emfrefugee  We are discussing practical solutions.
