Scientific Link to Autism Identified

JACKSON, N.J., Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ — During its research into the application of neuroscience in business, a New Jersey based think tank, The Center for Modeling Optimal Outcomes®, LLC (The Center) made an inadvertent and amazing discovery.
The Center examined the neuroscientific dynamics of logic and emotion in decision making while researching neuroscience in business. They found unique corollary relationships between various brain chemicals (neurohormones, neurotransmitters, etc.). This apparent pattern led to a new path of research for the team outside of business. By looking at extensive scientific literature they discovered a cascade of hormones that emanate from the brain (hypothalamus). This same pattern of correlations was again apparent throughout the cascade. The group added a research biologist and started to test the pattern on genes (proteins). It remained consistent. The Center then called upon advisors from chemistry and physics to see if the pattern would apply in physical sciences.
To the amazement of the group, it became apparent that this pattern of corollary relationships could be applied to scientific processes for maintaining equilibrium (homeostatic relationships) throughout all of science; from subatomic particles to chemistry as well as between biological substances.
While the entire scientific community knows that homeostasis exists, this tacit knowledge has not been converted into a step-by-step, replicable model. The Center identified precisely such an explicit process.
Challenged by several of The Center’s advisors, members of the team decided to test the efficacy of the model to determine if the disruptions that cause autism could be identified.
After careful review of countless scientific studies, meeting with several renowned scientists to discuss their findings, and then applying the modeling process to numerous hypotheses, 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.”
According to Linda Oliver-Perrier, The Center’s spokesperson for their Life Sciences group, “The details of the disruptive process are somewhat complex and not conducive for explanation in a press release. We have posted a more detailed explanation on our web site,www.TheCenterNJ.com/lifesciences.html.” She added, “Undoubtedly, this finding based on the application of the model for homeostasis will cause immense controversy. Our Life Sciences group is prepared to meet with members of the scientific community to explain the model as well as the variables that create the ‘perfect storm’ that results in autism.”
McFaul added, “The Center is seeking to affiliate with academic centers to provide its model for homeostasis to the scientific community for use as a tool to enable researchers to identify root causes of illnesses and disease entities. The Center is a think tank that creates models. We are not an operating company with the resources to educate individuals or organizations on the application of the models we create.

Vaccines Cause Autism, News From Scientific Think Tank States.
Curtiss Lee Linderman Sr

American Chronic
Sound and Reproducible Science Implicates Vaccines in the Autism Epidemic
In 2003, The Center for Modeling Optimal Outcomes LLC, began researching the neuroscience of business and how applying this tactic could possibly enhance business practices. What they found during their research has possibly shaken the very foundations of vaccine science and toxicology.
This New Jersey based think tank sent out a press release on the seventeenth of November 2009 that states that their studies, which implicate vaccines as the cause of autism, are “Grounded on a solid foundation of the laws of physics and chemistry.” One of the aspects of this research that I find most notable is that this is a non-conflicted think tank that was not even looking into these issues for the purpose of obtaining information regarding the causation of autism. This was, for all intents and purposes, an accident.
By mid 2005, two years into their research, The Center for Modeling Optimal Outcomes LLC had gained great knowledge and made some very substantial findings. They began by researching brain chemicals (neurohormones) that were seemingly involved in logic and emotions. These are of course two areas that have a direct link to productivity in the workplace. With their findings however, they were forced to take two very different paths in the study. One was of course continuing the business model aspect of their research; the other is the reason for this article.
The aspect of the research that we are going to address is regarding life sciences. Particularly “unraveling the complexities of neurohormone disruptions associated with several neurodevelopmental diseases…” to include autism. What these scientists inadvertently found was referred to in this press release as “truly amazing.” The group began using their model to identify specific causal pathways that certain diseases and illnesses are affected by, that cause disruptions in communication in pairs of bodily substances and cells. Meaning that they have found that if the homeostasis (balance) of certain classes of cells associated with these bodily functions are disrupted, the outcome could be autism or other related diseases. The inability of some cells to absorb the critical substances necessary for the brain to function normally can mean that this inability manifests itself in different ways and in different severity. This is particularly pertinent to the autism community primarily because this can explain the different levels of diagnoses evident within the autism spectrum (i.e. classical autism, regressive autism, PDD-NOS, Aspergers, ADHD etc.).
There seems to be many different lines of thinking within the scientific community as to how cells “uptake” the substances that are needed. The confusion primarily lies within the prevalent belief that most substances bind to cells and when needed, these cells create a “port” with which to gain the intracellular communication necessary. This group found that various mechanisms are utilized by cells to absorb the necessary substances needed, to include: osmosis, diffusion, phagocytosis, pinocytosis, pumps and conventional absorption. The hypothesis is that something environmental is creating a situation whereby these cells are unable to absorb substances or communicate in the way that they need to, thusly manifesting at times as a nuerodevelopmental disorder or disease.
Now what is truly amazing is the conclusion that has been reached as to why and how this is happening. You see; this neutral group with no ties to the pharmaceutical or mainstream medical industries has determined that vaccines and their ingredients are to blame. With the help of notable researchers and doctors that are known within the autism community, this study has resulted in some damning results. With the help of research from; Dr. Andrew Wakefield, Dr. Russell Blaylock, Dr. Martha Herbert and others, this group of non conflicted researchers have stumbled upon the proof to reinforce what the autism community has been talking about for quite some time! Vaccines cause autism!
So what could possibly be affecting our bodies on this cellular level within the vaccines? Toxins and allergens that are creating that which we in the autism community have spoken about for some time now: excitotoxcity! Apparently they have found that the gelatin that is prevalent in many of our vaccines, are causing this huge problem. When looking into Dr. Wakefield´s research regarding the MMR vaccine, “the results were beyond (their) expectations.” It seems that since 1979, just prior to the massive continuous rise in autism diagnoses, hydrolyzed gelatin was added to the MMR vaccine as a stabilizer.
MMR is not the only vaccine containing this gelatin. Here are the vaccines that contain this gelatin and the amount in each:
DTaP 0.0015 mg
Influenza 0.025 mg
Measles 14.5 mg
Mumps 14.5mg
Rubella 14.5 mg
MMR II 14.5 mg
Varicella 12.5 mg
Shingles 15.58 mg
Rabies < 12 mg
So here are the challenges that the medical researchers are facing: “Do certain classes of cells absorb substances? If so the entire science of toxicology will change.” If the balances or homeostasis between certain classes of cells that are associated with these important bodily functions are compromised, does this manifest itself as an ASD? These researchers believe it does and they have spoken at length with one of the world´s leading researchers regarding this issue: world renowned neurosurgeon and neuroscientist, Dr. Russell Blalock. Dr. Blaylock´s work explains how the inability of our cells to absorb crucial substances can create this situation that doesn´t allow the brain or the body to work properly. He calls this, Immunoexcitotocity. This imbalance is primarily caused by the toxic substances that our children are being subjected to while visiting their doctors early in life and being injected with these causative agents via so-called “life saving vaccines.”
William McFall is also quick to point out, (no doubt knowing the response that this research will create from the mainstream medical profession) that “We are not opposed to vaccines. Science has irrefutably proven their value. We are merely asking the medical research community to evaluate our model for homeostasis in order to ensure the ingredients in vaccines are not disrupting the body´s processes.”
Make no mistake; this is a huge breakthrough for those of us in the autism community. We have stated time and time again that our children became autistic after being vaccinated. This is not a coincidence as is consistently stated by the medical community and now we have a think tank that is not conflicted in any way that is publically stating just that. They have worked with those researchers within the autism and vaccine research community that we trust.
We, as a community, must ensure that this information gets into the mainstream press. This will be of monumental importance and as I am sure we all know, this will also be very difficult to achieve. We are all well aware of the conflicts of interest that the mainstream press has. A relentless push to have our media outlets, our representatives within our governments and our healthcare professionals, read and understand the implications of this data is crucial.
I certainly hope that all of us within the autism community will do our part.

The blogger below debated the validity of these scientific claims:
A new nonsense afoot
Read this one today. It starts with several paragraphs of garbage masquerading as science-speak (e.g., “By looking at extensive scientific literature they discovered a cascade of hormones that emanate from the brain (hypothalamus).” Really? Gee. That’ll be a huge surprise to all those endocrinologists out there.
Then it gets to the “point,” which appears to be that some vaccines contain gelatin and that gelatin is 21% glycine. It goes on to state the following, quoting a guy identified as “not a member of the scientific community” (clearly; he’s actually someone who once had oversight of an enormous office complex or something) with, mind you, not an iota of evidence, information, reference, or anything else to support it:

I have NO idea what “responsible for the absorption rate of certain classes of cells throughout the body” is even supposed to mean.
At any rate, glycine is most active in the spinal cord. Spinal cord, brain stem, retina. It’s biometabolized from another amino acid, serine. It’s actually required along with glutamate to co-activate NMDA receptors (and has been tried intravenously, therapeutically for related disorders), but serine does this even better. It’s in a million products we ingest and take and foods we eat (stay away from that ostrich and crab, people!). It’s required for appropriate infant development in good-sized amounts and produced endogenously (i.e., we make it ourselves, from serine), and it’s been used repeatedly and frequently and intravenously for decades in pre-term and low-birth-weight infants as a supplement to encourage growth:
Of all the amino acids, the ability to form adequate amounts of glycine is likely to be the most critical during fetal and infant life.

This “study” from The Center for Modeling Optimal Outcomes®, LLC is just so much silly pseudoscience.
The central hypothesis in the press release is that somehow two biological compounds, glycine and glutamate, can become imbalanced (lack homeostasis) and this somehow is causal in autism. The press release doesn’t explain how the alleged “lack of homeostasis” is causal. The press release blithely alleges that glycine and glutamate “control the rate of cellular absorption”. But absorption of what? The press release does not explain. How is this alleged “lack of absorption” is causal in autism? Again, the press release does not explain.
What the press release does intimate is that the “lack of glycine and glutamate homeostasis” is caused by vaccination, specifically the minute quantities of hydrolized gelatin (containing glutamate) in some vaccines.
But when you stop and think for a moment, that’s just silly, too.
Glycine and glutamate are found in most proteins. For example, a cup of chicken broth (even Campbell’s chicken-broth based soups) has orders of magnitude more glycine and glutamate than a vaccine dose, yet we have seen virtually no reports of children becoming autistic after drinking even large quantities of chicken broth.
What about the difference between oral ingestion and injection? Consider a common but underrecognized source of “injected” materials — the lowly mosquito. Each mosquito bite injects a small amount of saliva (which contains an anti-coagulant – and a small amount of glycine and glutamate).
Hmmmn. Gee, if children “suddenly became autistic” following a vaccination, and if the culprit is indeed the glycine / glutamate disruption, wouldn’t you also expect autism diagnoses to be higher following the mosquito season?
