With heavy metals planted at the exact nodes in the brain where the damage occurred, the fever would heat up the metal particles, and they in turn would bridge the interrupted break points in the neural network. In other words, metals, being highly conductive of both heat and electricity, would complete what has not been working in ASD (autism spectrum disorder) kids since the first year of their lives. Okay. But then what would cause the temporary connections of the neural network to continue to work for a week after the fever had dissipated?

Again, the answer is heavy metals. Metals consist of a different material makeup than brain tissue and blood. They would retain the heat produced by a fever longer, thus keeping the electrical pulses working well after the fever was gone. But once the heat of the metals matched the body temperature of the brain, the temporary, bridged connections would no longer work, and the full-blown symptoms of autism would return.

The week that I heard the news, I contacted Elise Babbitt-Welker, the communications manager at Kennedy Krieger Institute. I told her what I believed was the answer to the riddle.

She said that the Institute had received many inquiries to its study and that she would pass on my “heavy metals angle” to Dr. Zimmermann’s team of scientists.

In an e-mail, Ms. Babbitt-Welker wrote: “This phenomenon has been widely reported on by parents, clinicians and researchers alike, but this most recent research was the first to study the association using a controlled scientific methodology. That said, [with it] being a study with only 30 children, he and his fellow researchers know that more research is needed to confirm the findings as a real potential relief from autism.”

Many people do not realize just how many different types of depression there are, and atypical depression is one of the most common. Atypical depression is considered as being a type of major depression which tends to cause greater functional impairment than other forms of depression, and it also usually tends to occur earlier in life than most other forms of depression.

Bipolar depression is also known as manic depression or bipolar affective disorder. This is a highly complex and very serious mood disorder. It is characterized by extreme highs, which are known as a manic episode, followed by severe lows, which are known as depressive episodes. Bipolar depression usually begins whenever a person is a young adult and then continues for the remainder of the person’s life. In fact, it is believed that 1 in 10 people actually suffer from Bipolar depression. Unfortunately nobody knows what causes Bipolar depression but it is believed to be at least somewhat genetic.

You should not expect depression to have any favorites as it can strike anyone at any time, and there have also been many famous people throughout history that have been victims of depression. One of the most famous of these personalities was none other than Abraham Lincoln who fought with depression as well as with suicidal thoughts during his life, which at one point caused his friends to closely keep watch over him since he was seriously affected by his depression.
