Take special note of the comment…”LeapFrog has substantive and certified testing results from a third-party lab that verifies the Leapster2 carry case well exceeds all safety requirements, in both the United States and Europe.”

Safety requirements. Hmmm, does this mean that there are safe levels of toxins? In other words, the level of toxins is not enough to do harm.

Constantly we hear about drugs that were previously approved and are now unsafe, some even being removed from the market all together. This includes over the counter “natural remedies” as well. All were considered safe at the time of their release.

So, what is meant by safe?

The bottom line, any toxin is too much. This is because of the ability for toxins to accumulate. It is virtually impossible and unethical to have a clinical trial on how much toxin a child will absorb from a toy.

Why not create toys with no toxins. We can put men on the moon. Is this beyond our ability to solve?

The only way to deal with this is to avoid those toys.

Our bodies can defend us to a limited extent. However, it is much different in children.

A child rarely gets all the nutrients they need to mount a defense against a toxic attack. If the child has any of several diseases or conditions, including but not limited to autism, they are at greater risk of absorbing and accumulating the toxins in their bodies.

The ability for their bodies to make glutathione (the main defense against toxins) is limited by both their bodies and their lack of intake of the nutrients. ( The North American / much of Northern European Diets are depleted of many essential nutrients).

A former pediatric nurse, I have several hundred children, all of them grown up, several not with us any more, none of my own. My ulterior motive in this is only the health and welfare of our children.

Good health to you and yours.

More importantly, if you want to help prevent your child from getting autism, there is a potential to increase glutathione with suppliments and prevent this from happening.

Likewise, if your child has Autism then they too have low CG Syndrome. Studies show that boosting their glutathione helps with many seeing drastic improvement.

Check out the posting on Autisim Research. Once done, come back and learn how you can boost your intercellular glutathione.

Go to GlutathoneDiseaseCure.com to learn how to boost your glutathione like the study talks about.

It also mentioned IV glutathione being used and found beneficial.

In the post it mentioned GSSH. What is GSSH and what is the epsom salt thing?

It is my understanding that Glutathione is designated by the letters GSH. Oxidized glutathione is designated in literature by GSSH or GSSG

GSH, the smallest intracellular thiol molecule (a thiol is a compound that contains a sulfur and hydrogen atom which is the SH of GSH), has incredible reducing capacity (takes something toxic like say, mercury and reduces it to something the body can get rid of), serving as a potent antioxidant (the GSH sacrifices it’s hydrogen which attaches to the oxidative free radical, much like a marine throwing himself on a live grenade to protect his friends) along with dozens of other functions, like giving up its SH when needed for other things.

The GSH levels are regulated and a fine balance exists between GSH synthesis (creation or manufacturing) and oxidation (think of this as cellular rust).

Once GSH sacrifices it’s self to save the cell and eliminate the insurgent oxidative free radicals, it is converted back to GSH by glutathione reductase that utilizes other intercellular chemicals that convert GSSG to GSH.

It also may interest you to know that the SH in GSH is the sulfa-hydroxyl that binds the two cystine molecules together. Cystine is toxic. Bind two cystine together and you get cysteine.

Cysteine is the precursor to GSH synthesis.

Not all cysteines are equal. It needs to be bioactive cysteine to boost intercellular glutathione.

There are several dietary sources for cysteine. It is fragile and cooking kills it. Also it is essential to eliminate the foods that kill GSH like MSG and fluoride in water.

There are several supplements for boosting GSH. Some are not recommended for children although the people pushing them will say otherwise. There is one in the PDR that is ok for kids and is even in a clinical trial at this posting.

So where does the Epsom salts fit in? Well, our skin is one of the largest and most often forgotten organ of our body.

Our feet, which have a lot of blood vessels, have the ability to absorb as well as detoxify our bodies. Smelly feet are the sign of a detoxifying body.

Although controversial as to effectiveness, there are machines you soak your feet in exposing them to some kind of machine. When your done, the color of what ever toxin is most prevalent in your body will be the color of the water when your through.

People claim they feel better once using it.

It probably will not work for our young ones with autism because of having to sit still for a while. The point is, it offers some clues as to how and why the Epsom’s salts work. It is not just the skin but most likely the feet where the benefit comes from.

Good Health to all.
