Cindy thanks for this information. In the body choline acts to lower homocysteine levels and you are right it only provides symptom relief it doesn't address the cause. High levels of homocysteine are found in people with Autism and Alzheimer's (see table below). Homocysteine is toxic to your circulatory system. Aluminum is a neurotoxin that kills brain cells resulting in the Autistic brain. Aluminum inhibits the enzyme MS which converts homocysteine to methionine which is not toxic. (explanation below).MsCindy wrote: One very intriguing link that my research keeps leading me to is a lack of choline in the diets of pregnant mothers (primarily due to many people not eating eggs any more apparently) that causes a severe lack of choline in the developing fetus. Some mothers and babies seem to be more prone to the deficiency and also its negative effects. Supplementing different types of choline with children is not a cure - there is no cure for severe autism. But with many kids it makes them calmer, more verbal, and more engaged. But very interestingly, choline deficiency is strongly linked to Alzheimer's in much of the newest Alzheimer's research too!
Research has reached a tipping point and Aluminum is a causal factor of Alzheimer's and Autism. The good news is silica water is effective at removing aluminum from our bodies. Silica water treats the cause of Autism and Alzheimer's. People with Alzheimer's and Autism are experiencing increases in cognition, language, behavior after drinking silica water.
My husband Dennis N Crouse is a chemist and for the past several years has been researching the connection between Aluminum Alzheimer's and Autism. Here is a write up he did which explains why choline provides symptom relief. "Aluminum in the body creates a characteristic biochemical fingerprint that can be measured by taking a blood sample. This fingerprint is made by aluminum inhibiting the activation of the enzyme MS (methionine synthase) that converts homocysteine to methionine. Based upon this biochemical fingerprint aluminum is suspected as a causal agent for autism as summarized in the following table." "In 2017 an analysis was performed on the brains of 5 individuals with confirmed ASD(Autism spectrum disorder), 4 males and 1 female. The mean and standard deviation (in parenthesis) of aluminum content across all five individuals for each lobe were 3.82(5.42), 2.30(2.00), 2.79(4.05) and 3.82(5.17) mcg per gram dry weight for the occipital, frontal, temporal and parietal lobes respectively. These are some of the highest aluminum levels in the brain yet recorded." Dr Chris Exley and his team at Keele University performed the autopsies.
