Mitochondria

A well-known cause of dementia is dementia pugilistica, or what has commonly been called being "punch drunk." In some cases, the presentation is virtually indistinguishable from Alzheimer's dementia.

In the majority of cases, the development of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia is the result of the acquisition of various risk factors throughout life. PTSD is one such factor.

For the Obama Administration and the mainstream media to accept that autism levels have always been this high is, frankly, wishful thinking and unsettlingly wrongheaded.

This week, the Federal Government's leading immunization advisory panel unanimously approved a sweeping list of vaccine safety research recommendations, several that are linked to the vaccine-autism debate.

If we are going to find the actual environmental triggers to autism, we had better get busy.

Until now, estimates of mitochondrial disease rates have held steady at about 1-in-4000 people. A new study shows that 20 times that number have genetic mutations that could cause the disease.

After years of insisting there is no evidence to link vaccines with the onset of autism spectrum disorder, the US government has quietly conceded a vaccine-autism case in the Court of Federal Claims.
