Causes of ADHD
What Are the Causes ADHD?
There is a wide range of opinions of this subject but basics seem to center around a number of common factors.
Prenatal environment
- Parental psychopathology is associated with the risk of autism.1
- Heavy metal burdens of lead, mercury and uranium.2
- Maternal smoking during pregnancy is linked to high fetal testosterone (FT), and an increased risk in offspring for autism.
- Genetics.3
- Increased testosterone in mothers of children with autism.4
- Mercury amalgams in the mother.
- Amalgam, consists of 50 % elemental mercury and a mixture of silver, tin, copper and zinc.
- Minute amounts of mercury vapor are released continuously from amalgam.
- Amalgam contributes substantially to human mercury load.
- Mercury accumulates in some organs, particularly in the brain, where it can bind to protein more tightly than other heavy metals (e. g. lead, cadmium).
- Mercury vapor is more neurotoxic than methyl-mercury in fish.
- Mercury from dental amalgam may lead to nephrotoxicity, neurobehavioural changes, autoimmunity, oxidative stress, autism.
- There may be individual genetic or acquired susceptibilities.
- Mercury levels in the blood, urine or other biomarkers do not reflect the mercury load in critical organs.5
- Mercury content of childhood vaccinations containing Thimerisol - too many too soon.
Significantly increased adjusted (sex, age, vaccine type, vaccine manufacturer) risks of autism, speech disorders, mental retardation, personality disorders & thinking
abnormalities.6
- Allergens, toxins and sugar content of food.
- Being male - males have a higher incidence.
