  1. Research studies, such as a Portuguese study (" Mitochondrial dysfunction in autism spectrum disorders: a population-based research study," Dev Medication Child Neurol. 2005 Mar; 47( 3 ):148), have actually recommended that there is a link between autism spectrum disorders and mitochondrial disease (likewise called mitochondrial dysfunction). The research study in Portugal took a look at 69 autistic children and discovered that 5 of them had some type of mitochondrial abnormality. A study in the United States by Dr. John Shoffner, a geneticist, and neurologist backed these results by concluding that approximately around 20% of people with autism have markers for mitochondrial disease. What is Mitochondrial Disease or Dysfunction? Mitochondrial Disease is a set of hereditary disorders of the mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells which are utilized by the body to convert oxygen and food into energy. The mitochondrial disease can go undetected and not cause any symptoms at all, it can also cause:-. The weak point of the muscles. Developmental hold-ups. Heart problems. It is an uncommon disease which can be present at birth or can take place later, maybe being set off by a health problem or fever. Mitochondrial Disease and Autism. The link in between mitochondrial disease and autism hit the headings in 2008 when 9-year-old Hannah Poling's household won settlement in the popular "Poling Vaccine Lawsuit" after claiming that their daughter's autism was triggered by the 9 childhood vaccines that she got. Hannah Poling struggled with mitochondrial diseases, like her mother, and went on to establish symptoms of autism within two days of receiving the 9 vaccines. Some people will argue that it was the vaccines alone that caused Hannah's autism, others will argue that it was the mercury preservative, thimerosal, in the vaccines which triggered the autism, and still, others will argue that it's all just a coincidence. Geraldine Dawson, the Chief Science Officer at "Autism Speaks", is of the viewpoint that these youth vaccines stimulate the immune system and can put tension on the performance of the body's cells, therefore intensifying the signs of mitochondrial disease and triggering autism symptoms like developmental regression. The Vaccine Court settled Hannah's case out of court and this does not truly prove anything, simply that the household was able to encourage them that there was some sort of link in between Hannah's autism and the vaccines she got. The New Researcher magazine gotten in touch with scientists into mitochondrial disease who described that kids with the disease are more risk of muscular and neurological abnormalities because their cells have increased energy requirements and can be harmed if they don't receive sufficient energy. Insufficient energy can lead to encephalopathy (altered brain function and structure) which can eventually trigger symptoms comparable to

  2. autism. The scientists concluded that although the research study is small, a subgroup of patients with mitochondrial disease might be at threat of autistic regression with fever. 2005 Mar; 47( 3 ):148), have recommended that there is a link in between autism spectrum conditions and mitochondrial disease (also understood as mitochondrial dysfunction). A study in the US by Dr. John Shoffner, a geneticist, and neurologist backed these results by concluding that up to around 20% of people with autism have markers for mitochondrial disease. Geraldine Dawson, the Chief Science Officer at Mitochondrial Rescue "Autism Speaks", is of the opinion that these childhood vaccines promote the immune system and can put tension on the functioning of the body's cells, thus getting worse the signs of mitochondrial disease and triggering autism symptoms like developmental regression. The New Researcher magazine gotten in touch with researchers into mitochondrial disease who described that children with the disease are more threat of neurological and muscular abnormalities because their cells have increased energy needs and can be damaged if they don't receive enough energy.
