00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Welcome to From the Spectrum Podcast.
2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000
This is a podcast about autism.
3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000
It is my goal to explain what is autism.
4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:22,000
I plan to use a mixture of scientific literature, personal experience, and opinion.
5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000
With opinion, I will explain why.
6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
I will show the way I do and give examples.
7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,000
I will provide links to various references for each episode.
8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:41,000
For each episode, we will discuss various aspects of autism.
9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:52,000
For today's episode, I can't help but to be confused and concerned about the direction of autism research.
10
00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Autism research, for the most part, is directed at after autism is developed.
11
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
I can't understand that.
12
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:15,000
There are many theories and maybe the light, or more specifically, the artificial light as a cause is no different.
13
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:28,000
However, the cause of autism must consider the beginning and life on earth forms using light, water, and magnetism.
14
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
And light is the primary controller of the other two.
15
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
It seems to us this is the beginning stage.
16
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Not BPA or vaccines, pesticides, or food fillers, or the climate or pollution.
17
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:58,000
And all of those, what I am beginning to think is clickbait.
18
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:07,000
People, researchers, scientists, etc., want that recognition, that funding.
19
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Want the reception of being valuable and solidify their spot.
20
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
I did not say those other items are not a problem.
21
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:35,000
I am saying the human body and biology in its optimal environment, the environment it evolved and sustained, is incredible and resilient.
22
00:02:35,000 --> 00:03:00,000
I am saying the prenatal condition, the condition of the biological lineage of mother and father, things you've heard, like nutritional deficiencies and vitamin deficiencies, such as iron and the vitamin B's, the folic acid, the synthetic B9, which we will discuss more later.
23
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
All of these are heavily researched.
24
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:13,000
I am saying once you get to that stage of the biological process, many variances appear.
25
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Often it is confounding in the literature.
26
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:31,000
I think these are what show up as a biological implication from the overall abnormal biological development caused by light, artificial light.
27
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:58,000
A change in light from sunlight to electricity and the changes in the light from incandescent to the modern LED, removed as the entire spectrum of the light, except for whatever limited wavelengths that artificial light source provides, be it healthy or unhealthy.
28
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Often when it is isolated, when it is just specific wavelengths, it is unhealthy.
29
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:20,000
When our biology receives the entire spectrum of the sunlight, beautiful things happen, human life happens, and it flourishes.
30
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:31,000
In addition, another confounding part of autism research are the number of genes connected to this modern day health condition.
31
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
There are over 100 risk genes.
32
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Sometimes it causes autism.
33
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Sometimes it does not.
34
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Sometimes it causes autism with other health implications.
35
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:57,000
This says volumes. This says a lot about what is actually going on and where should we actually be looking.
36
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:07,000
This says something else is the driving factor of what has happened and what is happening.
37
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Here are the common or known regions of interest.
38
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Genetic variants, such as mutations.
39
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000
DNA sequencing changes from the genome.
40
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:34,000
This could include changes in just one of those amino acids we've discussed, or changes in nucleotides.
41
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Copy number variants, which involves segments of DNA and consist of two types, duplication and deletion.
42
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Duplication includes extra copies from a genomic region.
43
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Deletion includes a loss of copies from a region.
44
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:10,000
With autism, copy number type does seem to show duplications, particularly regions responsible for brain development and function.
45
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000
That is easy to connect.
46
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000
People understand this.
47
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
People hear or see about this literature and it makes sense to them.
48
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Okay, brain development, brain function, okay, that's a problem with autism development. Yes.
49
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Also, autism and deletions are shown to be involved in neural development, synaptic pathways and functioning.
50
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Remember neurogenesis and synaptogenesis.
51
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Remember autism and the embryo episode.
52
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Also, early episode discussing 16p11.2.
53
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
This is an example here.
54
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Well researched, well understood with autism.
55
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Gene environment interaction.
56
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
This is a hot topic.
57
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:19,000
These include all of those environmental relationships mentioned earlier, including light.
58
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:28,000
The reason why light is greater than the pesticides or the BPA, those food fillers and so forth.
59
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Those things I called click bait is this.
60
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Epigenetics are changes in gene expressions with no DNA sequencing changes.
61
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Genetic predispositions and how it interacts with prenatal environment is a topic.
62
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Prenatal care.
63
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Remember folic acid.
64
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Folic acid was briefly discussed in cause of autism episode at the end.
65
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Folate is crucial for synthesizing nucleotides, DNA and RNA and methylation.
66
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:22,000
The wrong amounts of folic, such as high doses, appears to implicate cell division.
67
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Remember cells divide and give life to living organisms.
68
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Remember autism and the embryo.
69
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:40,000
B12 and folate, which is B9, are human photoreceptors.
70
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,000
A lack of B12 means a lack of myelin.
71
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Remember those roads, cells travel.
72
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Gravel roads is poor myelin or poor connectivity.
73
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Myelin equals the highways, the way that cells can travel more efficiently with more efficiency.
74
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
The problem is known.
75
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,000
The cause is unknown to most, unknown to most.
76
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:24,000
But since they are photoreceptors, they require proper light, specific light, light that we've evolved under.
77
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
This is critical in a gene tied to autism.
78
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,000
MTHFR.
79
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase.
80
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Used for folate and homocysteine metabolism.
81
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Homocysteine makes an amino acid called cysteine.
82
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
It's a building block to sequence other proteins.
83
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
It's an amino acid.
84
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Taken together, light generates life on Earth.
85
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
It creates the living organism.
86
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Light is higher order.
87
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Meaning it is higher upstream and therefore must be the first point of contact.
88
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:20,000
If you troubleshoot a problem, you go in order.
89
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Otherwise, even if you find problems.
90
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Hence, the items just discussed about autism research, such as the copy number, the deletions, the duplications,
91
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:39,000
the altered brain regions and implications, such as those areas for social reward.
92
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,000
You discover a problem at this point.
93
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:51,000
You must go farther upstream to understand what caused that problem at that point.
94
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:58,000
If your cell phone is not charging, you're not going to necessarily replace the battery first.
95
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Maybe you look at the port or maybe you look at the charger.
96
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,000
What is causing the cell phone not to charge?
97
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,000
The MTHFR is involved with methionine.
98
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,000
That unique amino acid with only one codon.
99
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,000
The start signal for proteins and DNA sequencing.
100
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Elevated folic in the exogenous form, which all folic is exogenous, can cause problems here.
101
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
It does not appear folate.
102
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:44,000
The endogenous folate that endogenous B9, I should say, causes problems.
103
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:51,000
But whenever it's supplemented, that synthetic version can cause problems.
104
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:59,000
The problem is folic is added to many things, including prenatal vitamins.
105
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:07,000
And sometime in the 90s, it was added to essentially all grains, all food grains.
106
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Folic acids lower electrons.
107
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Remember the electron transport chain.
108
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,000
This is where it's implicated at a very atomic level in the mitochondria.
109
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Very hard for people to understand.
110
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
The mitochondrial problem.
111
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Well, one problem is redox power.
112
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000
This is changes in oxygen states.
113
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Then methylation problems.
114
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Methylation is a biochemical process regulating gene expression that recruits proper proteins.
115
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Which proteins are needed for that?
116
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Our areas of interest includes roles in embryogenesis and the placenta and epigenesis.
117
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:14,000
In addition, other areas of autism research includes brain connectivity and neurobiology.
118
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
This is interesting to me.
119
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:22,000
But no, I enjoy neurobiology and neuroscience.
120
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,000
I do think this is valuable research and helps understanding autism.
121
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:37,000
However, the more I objectively think about it, I ask, what is the purpose?
122
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:43,000
If understanding, if understanding about autism, then okay.
123
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,000
If for medication, then not okay.
124
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:55,000
The cause is much more valuable and necessary.
125
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Socioeenvironmental or socioeconomic factors.
126
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:13,000
First, see Robert Sapolsky on Peter Atilla Drive podcast around minute 40 or 42 or so on SES.
127
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000
This area does not have value.
128
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Sapolsky's explanation certainly does.
129
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,000
For autism research, it does not.
130
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Early diagnosis and biomarkers.
131
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
These are critical.
132
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:38,000
In the short future, we will have an episode on eye tracking and infants and toddlers.
133
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,000
It is awesome data and this is very valuable.
134
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Early diagnosis equals better outcomes.
135
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Autism and comorbid conditions.
136
00:14:51,000 --> 00:15:05,000
These include other psychiatric conditions like anxiety, OCD, speech and language problems, ADHD, and a side note.
137
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:15,000
We will have a future episode and we will explore autism and ADHD, specifically this other condition.
138
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,000
I don't understand this relationship.
139
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:26,000
How do you have autism and ADHD?
140
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:34,000
However, the comorbid conditions are, of course, not limited to psychiatric conditions.
141
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Much of them include things like epilepsy or GI problems, problems with specific organs like the thyroid, leukocytes, ret syndrome, things like dyspraxia, that poor motor movement, that poor motor development.
142
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:01,000
These things would be comorbid in addition to the autism.
143
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
This research exists.
144
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Also, personalized interventions.
145
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
This is difficult.
146
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Researching what works with different levels of autism is infinite.
147
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Remember, if you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism.
148
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Medications are, of course, a major area of interest.
149
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
I hate it.
150
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
It's harmful.
151
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Our current paradigm is questionable.
152
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Remember the Bidole Act?
153
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:52,000
It's a profit mill and nothing disrupts the profit mill.
154
00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:01,000
How is the U.S. almost times two the health budget of the second modern country?
155
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,000
And three times the average of all modern countries.
156
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Three times.
157
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000
And this is billions of dollars in the health budget.
158
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,000
That budget and our lifespan is flat.
159
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Chronic health conditions are out of control with rapid increases.
160
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:32,000
And four of the top five revenues, the business types, include health.
161
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000
U.S. hospitals is two.
162
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Over-the-counter cosmetics and health, such as vitamins and supplements and all these over-the-counter products, is three.
163
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Our health insurance, the health insurance is number four.
164
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Number five, of course, is big pharma.
165
00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:01,000
But remember, they're number five because of the amount of money they spend in advertisement.
166
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:12,000
If you include centralized money, U.S. banks, five of the top five are actually involved here.
167
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,000
The banks, the centralized money controls everything.
168
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,000
And this is bad news.
169
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Those are the top spots in autism research.
170
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,000
I question what is the purpose?
171
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,000
What are the goals?
172
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000
The hope.
173
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,000
What is happening?
174
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:50,000
The purpose of today's episode, autism's generational increase, and region's of interest ought to be the cause of autism.
175
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,000
You know the stance on the podcast.
176
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Parental melanin, artificial light, and likely something not previously discussed is our non-native EMF,
177
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000
electromagnetic field.
178
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Electromagnetic fields not naturally created from nature.
179
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Remember, light is an electromagnetic strip.
180
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:31,000
This is a natural occurring EMF, but the non-native EMFs, they're probably going to have some interest here.
181
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:38,000
But here is the general outline of what autism research ought to look like.
182
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Group one, the control group.
183
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Now, N is unknown.
184
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:53,000
The number of subjects for each are all unknown, and we will get into that momentarily.
185
00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:02,000
But group one is split into high likelihood and typically likelihood, pretty common in autism research.
186
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:15,000
And this group has no change in their daily life, no change in the process of pregnancy and having the baby.
187
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Group two, again, the subjects, the N equals is unknown.
188
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,000
This is also broken down into high likelihood and typical likelihood.
189
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:44,000
But the change here is the pregnant mother spends certain amount of time, X amount of time, outdoors in the sun to begin with, let's say, eight hours.
190
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:54,000
And this includes morning sunlight, UV sunlight, and sunset.
191
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Likely, the importance here is in that order.
192
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Morning light, morning sunlight might be the most important light.
193
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:11,000
However, the UV will be obtained here, that midday sunlight and then the sunset.
194
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Eight total hours or so.
195
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Group three, subjects unknown still.
196
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
N is unknown.
197
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:28,000
High likelihood group and a typical likelihood group.
198
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Here, proper circadian rhythm for approximately six months before pregnancy.
199
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:43,000
So the mother and the father will have proper circadian entrainment.
200
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:52,000
This is a proper circadian rhythm based off of the latitude, the light and dark cycle.
201
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:59,000
And they will have the eight hours of sun exposure, the morning, the UV, and sunset.
202
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,000
I say eight hours, but whatever is determined necessary.
203
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Once conception occurs, once the mother is considered pregnant, the pregnant woman will continue that eight hours of sun exposure all the way up through delivery.
204
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Now these three groups all have their high likelihood versus typical likelihood.
205
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:28,000
And each group has a different factor thrown in.
206
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Of course, group one has nothing thrown in.
207
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:39,000
And then group two has the, the pregnant mother will spend eight hours.
208
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,000
So we're increasing the sun exposure.
209
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Once conception is known.
210
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:56,000
And then group three is the highest controlled group, whereby they're going to have the circadian rhythm set.
211
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:05,000
No artificial light at night, proper circadian biology is going to be rolling through the mother and the father.
212
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,000
And then they will have the increased light exposure during the day.
213
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:19,000
So proper circadian entrainment and increased sunlight exposure for both mother and father.
214
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:30,000
This is to stimulate that palm seed gene and the melanin, the endogenous neuro melanin to get those cellular functions activated.
215
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:36,000
And then the pregnant mother will continue this sun exposure.
216
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:48,000
This is in hopes we'll reverse the lack of melanin and the biological implications of the artificial light that we've had for over generations now.
217
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Since the, the creation of electricity and artificial light.
218
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:02,000
We are going to try to reverse this and send it back to pre electricity.
219
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Back when the mother and father had no choice about the sunlight or the light exposure, I should say, and the proper circadian rhythms.
220
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:21,000
This was all common until artificial light and the electricity occurred.
221
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Since then, our health conditions has been thrown into a tornado.
222
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Nothing is working. The health condition is not in a good situation.
223
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:45,000
I am saying there's so much funding, so much research and attention in autism on things like the diagnostic side and creating assessment tools.
224
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:52,000
The genetic side and all of those items we listed previously, such as the behavior side.
225
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Why not finding a cause? A stopping side.
226
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Now here are some things that I've loosely created or came up with that could be that need to be pinpointed.
227
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Areas to consider is are there previous shift work? Does the mother and father have previous shift work?
228
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Because this is can really do harm to the melanin.
229
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:22,000
The length of time parents must be off of shift work.
230
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:28,000
I hate to break it to you folks, but humans aren't adapted for the shift work.
231
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:40,000
We are living test subjects because shift work hasn't been around until once artificial light was developed, once electricity was developed.
232
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:47,000
And remember the pros. We have more job opportunities and we have more goods being produced.
233
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:56,000
However, the medical literature and the health implications of shift work are alarming.
234
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,000
This is very alarming.
235
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Remember that melanopsin not discovered until 1998 and leptin in 1994 with all of our human test subjects and we're well into it now generational.
236
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:21,000
And it's normalized. Oh, some people work night shift or oh, some people enjoy working night shift. Okay.
237
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:33,000
And the effect size. How large should these groups be now with the rates of autism, the rates of autism that we're seeing in 2024 today.
238
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:50,000
It would suggest that maybe the effect size, then the subject size could be smaller, at least on the pilot studies, just to see if there are any changes and determine the significance of the changes.
239
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:57,000
And things like OCT scans and labs associated with poor melanin.
240
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:04,000
How long to reestablish proper biology and circadian rhythms? Might it be six months? I don't know.
241
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,000
But people know these things can be determined.
242
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,000
There are people that know this and can determine this.
243
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Not me, but this is for one, wouldn't be difficult for a baseline and to understand modifications for future studies to grow.
244
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:40,000
I suspect there will be a change here in the future of autism diagnosis if group two and especially group three are implemented.
245
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Okay. So the purpose of the study is this.
246
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Send humanity back to a lifestyle before autism just magically shows up in human evolution.
247
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:10,000
It's not complicated. There are there are some comparisons between the Amish, for example, and the modern humans, everyone else and the rates of autism.
248
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:27,000
The Amish have pretty controlled light, light environments and electricity and very few non native EMFs even, which is a topic for another discussion.
249
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:36,000
With the rates of autism and these things spiraling out of control, something has to give.
250
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Something must change, not only in our environment, but in autism research.
251
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Let's research something that could actually fix and reverse these rates of autism.
252
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Doesn't seem that complicated to me. I don't. It doesn't seem like people should be involved here.
253
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,000
And not on the side of developing medications.
254
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:16,000

Thank you for listening to From the Spectrum podcast.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Welcome to From the Spectrum Podcast.
2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000
This is a podcast about autism.
3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000
It is my goal to explain what is autism.
4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:22,000
I plan to use a mixture of scientific literature, personal experience, and opinion.
5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000
With opinion, I will explain why.
6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
I will show the way I do and give examples.
7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,000
I will provide links to various references for each episode.
8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:41,000
For each episode, we will discuss various aspects of autism.
9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:52,000
For today's episode, I can't help but to be confused and concerned about the direction of autism research.
10
00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Autism research, for the most part, is directed at after autism is developed.
11
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
I can't understand that.
12
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:15,000
There are many theories and maybe the light, or more specifically, the artificial light as a cause is no different.
13
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:28,000
However, the cause of autism must consider the beginning and life on earth forms using light, water, and magnetism.
14
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
And light is the primary controller of the other two.
15
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
It seems to us this is the beginning stage.
16
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Not BPA or vaccines, pesticides, or food fillers, or the climate or pollution.
17
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:58,000
And all of those, what I am beginning to think is clickbait.
18
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:07,000
People, researchers, scientists, etc., want that recognition, that funding.
19
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Want the reception of being valuable and solidify their spot.
20
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
I did not say those other items are not a problem.
21
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:35,000
I am saying the human body and biology in its optimal environment, the environment it evolved and sustained, is incredible and resilient.
22
00:02:35,000 --> 00:03:00,000
I am saying the prenatal condition, the condition of the biological lineage of mother and father, things you've heard, like nutritional deficiencies and vitamin deficiencies, such as iron and the vitamin B's, the folic acid, the synthetic B9, which we will discuss more later.
23
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
All of these are heavily researched.
24
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:13,000
I am saying once you get to that stage of the biological process, many variances appear.
25
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Often it is confounding in the literature.
26
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:31,000
I think these are what show up as a biological implication from the overall abnormal biological development caused by light, artificial light.
27
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:58,000
A change in light from sunlight to electricity and the changes in the light from incandescent to the modern LED, removed as the entire spectrum of the light, except for whatever limited wavelengths that artificial light source provides, be it healthy or unhealthy.
28
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Often when it is isolated, when it is just specific wavelengths, it is unhealthy.
29
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:20,000
When our biology receives the entire spectrum of the sunlight, beautiful things happen, human life happens, and it flourishes.
30
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:31,000
In addition, another confounding part of autism research are the number of genes connected to this modern day health condition.
31
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
There are over 100 risk genes.
32
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Sometimes it causes autism.
33
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Sometimes it does not.
34
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Sometimes it causes autism with other health implications.
35
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:57,000
This says volumes. This says a lot about what is actually going on and where should we actually be looking.
36
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:07,000
This says something else is the driving factor of what has happened and what is happening.
37
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Here are the common or known regions of interest.
38
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Genetic variants, such as mutations.
39
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000
DNA sequencing changes from the genome.
40
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:34,000
This could include changes in just one of those amino acids we've discussed, or changes in nucleotides.
41
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Copy number variants, which involves segments of DNA and consist of two types, duplication and deletion.
42
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Duplication includes extra copies from a genomic region.
43
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Deletion includes a loss of copies from a region.
44
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:10,000
With autism, copy number type does seem to show duplications, particularly regions responsible for brain development and function.
45
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000
That is easy to connect.
46
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000
People understand this.
47
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
People hear or see about this literature and it makes sense to them.
48
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Okay, brain development, brain function, okay, that's a problem with autism development. Yes.
49
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Also, autism and deletions are shown to be involved in neural development, synaptic pathways and functioning.
50
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Remember neurogenesis and synaptogenesis.
51
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Remember autism and the embryo episode.
52
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Also, early episode discussing 16p11.2.
53
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
This is an example here.
54
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Well researched, well understood with autism.
55
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Gene environment interaction.
56
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
This is a hot topic.
57
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:19,000
These include all of those environmental relationships mentioned earlier, including light.
58
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:28,000
The reason why light is greater than the pesticides or the BPA, those food fillers and so forth.
59
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Those things I called click bait is this.
60
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Epigenetics are changes in gene expressions with no DNA sequencing changes.
61
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Genetic predispositions and how it interacts with prenatal environment is a topic.
62
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Prenatal care.
63
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Remember folic acid.
64
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Folic acid was briefly discussed in cause of autism episode at the end.
65
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Folate is crucial for synthesizing nucleotides, DNA and RNA and methylation.
66
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:22,000
The wrong amounts of folic, such as high doses, appears to implicate cell division.
67
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Remember cells divide and give life to living organisms.
68
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Remember autism and the embryo.
69
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:40,000
B12 and folate, which is B9, are human photoreceptors.
70
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,000
A lack of B12 means a lack of myelin.
71
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Remember those roads, cells travel.
72
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Gravel roads is poor myelin or poor connectivity.
73
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Myelin equals the highways, the way that cells can travel more efficiently with more efficiency.
74
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
The problem is known.
75
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,000
The cause is unknown to most, unknown to most.
76
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:24,000
But since they are photoreceptors, they require proper light, specific light, light that we've evolved under.
77
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
This is critical in a gene tied to autism.
78
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,000
MTHFR.
79
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase.
80
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Used for folate and homocysteine metabolism.
81
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Homocysteine makes an amino acid called cysteine.
82
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
It's a building block to sequence other proteins.
83
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
It's an amino acid.
84
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Taken together, light generates life on Earth.
85
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
It creates the living organism.
86
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Light is higher order.
87
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Meaning it is higher upstream and therefore must be the first point of contact.
88
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:20,000
If you troubleshoot a problem, you go in order.
89
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Otherwise, even if you find problems.
90
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Hence, the items just discussed about autism research, such as the copy number, the deletions, the duplications,
91
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:39,000
the altered brain regions and implications, such as those areas for social reward.
92
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,000
You discover a problem at this point.
93
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:51,000
You must go farther upstream to understand what caused that problem at that point.
94
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:58,000
If your cell phone is not charging, you're not going to necessarily replace the battery first.
95
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Maybe you look at the port or maybe you look at the charger.
96
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,000
What is causing the cell phone not to charge?
97
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,000
The MTHFR is involved with methionine.
98
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,000
That unique amino acid with only one codon.
99
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,000
The start signal for proteins and DNA sequencing.
100
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Elevated folic in the exogenous form, which all folic is exogenous, can cause problems here.
101
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
It does not appear folate.
102
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:44,000
The endogenous folate that endogenous B9, I should say, causes problems.
103
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:51,000
But whenever it's supplemented, that synthetic version can cause problems.
104
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:59,000
The problem is folic is added to many things, including prenatal vitamins.
105
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:07,000
And sometime in the 90s, it was added to essentially all grains, all food grains.
106
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Folic acids lower electrons.
107
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Remember the electron transport chain.
108
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,000
This is where it's implicated at a very atomic level in the mitochondria.
109
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Very hard for people to understand.
110
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
The mitochondrial problem.
111
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Well, one problem is redox power.
112
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000
This is changes in oxygen states.
113
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Then methylation problems.
114
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Methylation is a biochemical process regulating gene expression that recruits proper proteins.
115
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Which proteins are needed for that?
116
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Our areas of interest includes roles in embryogenesis and the placenta and epigenesis.
117
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:14,000
In addition, other areas of autism research includes brain connectivity and neurobiology.
118
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
This is interesting to me.
119
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:22,000
But no, I enjoy neurobiology and neuroscience.
120
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,000
I do think this is valuable research and helps understanding autism.
121
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:37,000
However, the more I objectively think about it, I ask, what is the purpose?
122
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:43,000
If understanding, if understanding about autism, then okay.
123
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,000
If for medication, then not okay.
124
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:55,000
The cause is much more valuable and necessary.
125
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Socioeenvironmental or socioeconomic factors.
126
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:13,000
First, see Robert Sapolsky on Peter Atilla Drive podcast around minute 40 or 42 or so on SES.
127
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000
This area does not have value.
128
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Sapolsky's explanation certainly does.
129
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,000
For autism research, it does not.
130
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Early diagnosis and biomarkers.
131
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
These are critical.
132
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:38,000
In the short future, we will have an episode on eye tracking and infants and toddlers.
133
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,000
It is awesome data and this is very valuable.
134
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Early diagnosis equals better outcomes.
135
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Autism and comorbid conditions.
136
00:14:51,000 --> 00:15:05,000
These include other psychiatric conditions like anxiety, OCD, speech and language problems, ADHD, and a side note.
137
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:15,000
We will have a future episode and we will explore autism and ADHD, specifically this other condition.
138
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,000
I don't understand this relationship.
139
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:26,000
How do you have autism and ADHD?
140
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:34,000
However, the comorbid conditions are, of course, not limited to psychiatric conditions.
141
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Much of them include things like epilepsy or GI problems, problems with specific organs like the thyroid, leukocytes, ret syndrome, things like dyspraxia, that poor motor movement, that poor motor development.
142
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:01,000
These things would be comorbid in addition to the autism.
143
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
This research exists.
144
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Also, personalized interventions.
145
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
This is difficult.
146
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Researching what works with different levels of autism is infinite.
147
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Remember, if you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism.
148
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Medications are, of course, a major area of interest.
149
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
I hate it.
150
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
It's harmful.
151
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Our current paradigm is questionable.
152
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Remember the Bidole Act?
153
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:52,000
It's a profit mill and nothing disrupts the profit mill.
154
00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:01,000
How is the U.S. almost times two the health budget of the second modern country?
155
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,000
And three times the average of all modern countries.
156
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Three times.
157
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000
And this is billions of dollars in the health budget.
158
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,000
That budget and our lifespan is flat.
159
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Chronic health conditions are out of control with rapid increases.
160
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:32,000
And four of the top five revenues, the business types, include health.
161
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000
U.S. hospitals is two.
162
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Over-the-counter cosmetics and health, such as vitamins and supplements and all these over-the-counter products, is three.
163
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Our health insurance, the health insurance is number four.
164
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Number five, of course, is big pharma.
165
00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:01,000
But remember, they're number five because of the amount of money they spend in advertisement.
166
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:12,000
If you include centralized money, U.S. banks, five of the top five are actually involved here.
167
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,000
The banks, the centralized money controls everything.
168
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,000
And this is bad news.
169
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Those are the top spots in autism research.
170
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,000
I question what is the purpose?
171
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,000
What are the goals?
172
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000
The hope.
173
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,000
What is happening?
174
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:50,000
The purpose of today's episode, autism's generational increase, and region's of interest ought to be the cause of autism.
175
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,000
You know the stance on the podcast.
176
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Parental melanin, artificial light, and likely something not previously discussed is our non-native EMF,
177
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000
electromagnetic field.
178
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Electromagnetic fields not naturally created from nature.
179
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Remember, light is an electromagnetic strip.
180
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:31,000
This is a natural occurring EMF, but the non-native EMFs, they're probably going to have some interest here.
181
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:38,000
But here is the general outline of what autism research ought to look like.
182
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Group one, the control group.
183
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Now, N is unknown.
184
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:53,000
The number of subjects for each are all unknown, and we will get into that momentarily.
185
00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:02,000
But group one is split into high likelihood and typically likelihood, pretty common in autism research.
186
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:15,000
And this group has no change in their daily life, no change in the process of pregnancy and having the baby.
187
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Group two, again, the subjects, the N equals is unknown.
188
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,000
This is also broken down into high likelihood and typical likelihood.
189
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:44,000
But the change here is the pregnant mother spends certain amount of time, X amount of time, outdoors in the sun to begin with, let's say, eight hours.
190
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:54,000
And this includes morning sunlight, UV sunlight, and sunset.
191
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Likely, the importance here is in that order.
192
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Morning light, morning sunlight might be the most important light.
193
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:11,000
However, the UV will be obtained here, that midday sunlight and then the sunset.
194
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Eight total hours or so.
195
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Group three, subjects unknown still.
196
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
N is unknown.
197
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:28,000
High likelihood group and a typical likelihood group.
198
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Here, proper circadian rhythm for approximately six months before pregnancy.
199
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:43,000
So the mother and the father will have proper circadian entrainment.
200
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:52,000
This is a proper circadian rhythm based off of the latitude, the light and dark cycle.
201
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:59,000
And they will have the eight hours of sun exposure, the morning, the UV, and sunset.
202
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,000
I say eight hours, but whatever is determined necessary.
203
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Once conception occurs, once the mother is considered pregnant, the pregnant woman will continue that eight hours of sun exposure all the way up through delivery.
204
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Now these three groups all have their high likelihood versus typical likelihood.
205
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:28,000
And each group has a different factor thrown in.
206
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Of course, group one has nothing thrown in.
207
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:39,000
And then group two has the, the pregnant mother will spend eight hours.
208
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,000
So we're increasing the sun exposure.
209
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Once conception is known.
210
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:56,000
And then group three is the highest controlled group, whereby they're going to have the circadian rhythm set.
211
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:05,000
No artificial light at night, proper circadian biology is going to be rolling through the mother and the father.
212
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,000
And then they will have the increased light exposure during the day.
213
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:19,000
So proper circadian entrainment and increased sunlight exposure for both mother and father.
214
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:30,000
This is to stimulate that palm seed gene and the melanin, the endogenous neuro melanin to get those cellular functions activated.
215
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:36,000
And then the pregnant mother will continue this sun exposure.
216
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:48,000
This is in hopes we'll reverse the lack of melanin and the biological implications of the artificial light that we've had for over generations now.
217
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Since the, the creation of electricity and artificial light.
218
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:02,000
We are going to try to reverse this and send it back to pre electricity.
219
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Back when the mother and father had no choice about the sunlight or the light exposure, I should say, and the proper circadian rhythms.
220
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:21,000
This was all common until artificial light and the electricity occurred.
221
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Since then, our health conditions has been thrown into a tornado.
222
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Nothing is working. The health condition is not in a good situation.
223
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:45,000
I am saying there's so much funding, so much research and attention in autism on things like the diagnostic side and creating assessment tools.
224
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:52,000
The genetic side and all of those items we listed previously, such as the behavior side.
225
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Why not finding a cause? A stopping side.
226
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Now here are some things that I've loosely created or came up with that could be that need to be pinpointed.
227
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Areas to consider is are there previous shift work? Does the mother and father have previous shift work?
228
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Because this is can really do harm to the melanin.
229
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:22,000
The length of time parents must be off of shift work.
230
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:28,000
I hate to break it to you folks, but humans aren't adapted for the shift work.
231
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:40,000
We are living test subjects because shift work hasn't been around until once artificial light was developed, once electricity was developed.
232
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:47,000
And remember the pros. We have more job opportunities and we have more goods being produced.
233
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:56,000
However, the medical literature and the health implications of shift work are alarming.
234
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,000
This is very alarming.
235
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Remember that melanopsin not discovered until 1998 and leptin in 1994 with all of our human test subjects and we're well into it now generational.
236
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:21,000
And it's normalized. Oh, some people work night shift or oh, some people enjoy working night shift. Okay.
237
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:33,000
And the effect size. How large should these groups be now with the rates of autism, the rates of autism that we're seeing in 2024 today.
238
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:50,000
It would suggest that maybe the effect size, then the subject size could be smaller, at least on the pilot studies, just to see if there are any changes and determine the significance of the changes.
239
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:57,000
And things like OCT scans and labs associated with poor melanin.
240
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:04,000
How long to reestablish proper biology and circadian rhythms? Might it be six months? I don't know.
241
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,000
But people know these things can be determined.
242
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,000
There are people that know this and can determine this.
243
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Not me, but this is for one, wouldn't be difficult for a baseline and to understand modifications for future studies to grow.
244
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:40,000
I suspect there will be a change here in the future of autism diagnosis if group two and especially group three are implemented.
245
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Okay. So the purpose of the study is this.
246
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Send humanity back to a lifestyle before autism just magically shows up in human evolution.
247
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:10,000
It's not complicated. There are there are some comparisons between the Amish, for example, and the modern humans, everyone else and the rates of autism.
248
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:27,000
The Amish have pretty controlled light, light environments and electricity and very few non native EMFs even, which is a topic for another discussion.
249
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:36,000
With the rates of autism and these things spiraling out of control, something has to give.
250
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Something must change, not only in our environment, but in autism research.
251
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Let's research something that could actually fix and reverse these rates of autism.
252
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Doesn't seem that complicated to me. I don't. It doesn't seem like people should be involved here.
253
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,000
And not on the side of developing medications.
254
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:16,000
