Hi Raw,I think if you take a longer look around my blog you will understand WHY I regard aspergers/autism/fibromyalgia/food chemical intolerance as genetic – it is based on the sheer quantity of abstracts and papers I have read on the subject.Genetics is not an excuse, it’s a fact that needs to be dealt with. The genetics involved in autism/aspergers make people extremely vulnerable to neurotransmitters and plant toxins that are found in food. Removing the bad foods (i.e. going on failsafe) makes a huge amount of difference – most people’s genetics can then scrape by. Of course some people’s genetics are so mangled that isn’t possible.Unfortunately these aren’t conditions that eating raw food will cure.

I agree that there is a genetic component, but I don’t think it is the whole story. Some people will be predisposed (perhaps genetically) to having problems with gut bacteria, vitamin deficiency, and toxin elimination (necessitating chelation). I’ve come across too many people who say “it’s genetic” like it’s an excuse… and refuse to take any responsibility for their (or their families’) well-being. I can see you’re not like that, but it does happen. Because there aren’t many “official cures” for genetic problems, a lot of people assume there’s nothing that can be done. Even something as simple as diet gets overlooked, even though it can have a HUGE impact.

No! I totally agree!
