"Adults who were exposed to too much mercury because they ate fish from the Bay of Minamata... They started hand-flapping, they stopped talking...we call that mercury poisoning over [there], but if you poison a kid with mercury to their toxic level of tolerance, it's autism."
Scientist, CEO, author, and human rights advocate James Lyons-Weiler () describes for Stephanie Weidle (@ActiveSinger24) on a Feds for Freedom () podcast about how autism is caused by "a long list" of environmental toxins, which he refers to as "autismogens." "Like there are many carcinogens, there are many autismogens," Lyons-Weiler says. "These autismogens include any number of organic pollutants [including] mercury of both types." The scientist highlights the Minamata disaster in Japan, which saw citizens in the 1950s, in the city of Minamata, Kumamoto Prefecture, fall prey to mercury poisoning following the release of methylmercury into the ocean from industrial wastewater from a chemical factory. The methylmercury bioaccumulated in shellfish and when citizens subsequently ate them, they were poisoned. "Adults that were exposed to too much mercury because they ate fish from the Bay of Minamata after the Minamata disaster...[they] stopped making eye contact. They started hand-flapping, and they stopped talking, it's a one-to-one correspondence. We just call that mercury poisoning over here. But if you poison a kid with mercury to their toxic level of tolerance, it's autism, if it's mercury-based." Partial transcription of clip: "All of the literature up to 2015 showed environmental toxins that are associated with autism. It's a long list. "Like there are many carcinogens, there are many autismogens. These autismogens include any number of organic pollutants. They include mercury of both types. And proof of this is the Minamata disaster in Japan. Adults that were exposed to too much mercury because they ate fish from the Bay of Minamata after the Minamata disaster, [and] well, let's go through the symptoms of autism: you stop making eye contact; you can't speak; you lose the ability to speak; you don't interact with people socially; you act like they're not there in the room If it's severe, you might hand flap and do repetitive motions. "Anybody can identify a kid with autism that way or an adult. The adults that were exposed to high levels of mercury stopped making eye contact. They started hand flapping, and they stopped talking, it's a one-to-one correspondence. We just call that mercury poisoning over here. But if you poison a kid with mercury to their toxic level of tolerance, it's autism, if it's mercury-based.The Environmental and Genetic Causes of Autism https://t.co/4wIwJJ8KHc via @amazon
