The Link between Immune System Deficiencies and Autism / Seizures Auto Immune Diseases
It should be increasingly apparent by now, that the overwhelming hypothesis about Vaccine/Heavy Metal Toxicity/Excitotoxin interaction as the vehicle for the development of many Autoimmune Diseases, is that they are all effecting the body's natural ability to protect itself. That the victims of these diseases are suffering from a multitude of interrelated Immune Function attacks.
Here we will discuss some of the Immune Building/Boosting Therapies which have largely been proven effective in the past for the treatment of other widely acknowledged Immunological Disorders.
Interestingly, before Hepatitis A vaccines were given to travellers, they were administered Gamma Globulin Therapy in order to boost their immunities. According to Wikipedia, the therapy is still used to treat those who have been exposed to the Measles virus and Hepatits A, as well as those who are unable for whatever Immunological reason to product Gamma Glubulins themselves.

Successful Treatments on the brink of new applied usage for Gamma Globulin Therapy
Another intriguing addition to this discussion, is the fact that we know that sufferes of Alzheimers have unusually high deposits of the heavy metal Aluminium in their brains. Well recent studies into the various uses of Gamma Globulin Therapy has revealed that a therapy known as IVIG/Gammagard is effectively halting the progression of Alzheimers sufferers.
One could hypothesize that the link between the heavy metal toxicity in the brains of these patients and their suppressed immune function due to this factor, as well as other toxins consumed as discussed elsewhere on this site - could be the reason that Immune Supportive therapies such as Gamma Globulin Injections are proving effective.
Off-label uses
If these early testing phases conclude that this therapy and other Immune System supportive therapies like it are in fact improving the lives of these patients, it will be further confirmation for the Scientists and Doctors who are asserting a direct link between toxicity levels and Immune Suppression/all autoimmune diseases including Autism and vaccine induced seizures etc.

Gamma Globulin Therapy / Immunoglobulin Therapy
- Immunoglobulin therapy. Also called gamma globulin therapy, this treatment can be a lifesaver for people who have an antibody deficiency. Immunoglobulin consists of antibody proteins needed for the immune system to fight infections. It can be either injected into a vein through an IV line, or inserted underneath the skin (subcutaneous infusion). Treatment with intravenous gamma globulin is needed every few weeks to maintain sufficient levels of immunoglobulins. Subcutaneous infusion is needed once or twice a week.
- Gamma interferon therapy. Interferons are naturally occurring substances that fight viruses and stimulate immune system cells. Gamma interferon is a man-made (synthetic) substance given as an injection in the thigh or arm three times a week. It's used to treat chronic granulomatous disease, one form of primary immunodeficiency.
- Growth factors. When immune deficiency is caused by a lack of certain white blood cells, growth factor therapy — such as granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (Leukine) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (Neupogen, Neulasta) — can help increase the levels of immune-strengthening white blood cells.

"The use of hyperimmune antivaccinia gamma-globulin for the prevention and treatment of smallpox. MARENNIKOVA SS.
"Abstract Smallpox prophylaxis studies having shown that the classical Jennerian type of vaccination may in some instances prove inadequate to prevent the development of the disease or may be contra-indicated for certain persons, attempts were made to evolve a method which could supplement or replace such vaccination. Investigations reported in this paper have demonstrated that the administration of gamma-globulin obtained from the sera of various animals hyperimmunized with vaccinia virus gives highly effective results in the prevention of different forms of experimental vaccinial infection. Encouraging results were also obtained with this gamma-globulin given prophylactically to 13 persons who had been in close contact with smallpox patients during an outbreak of this disease in Moscow in 1960. The author suggests that hyperimmune antivaccinia gamma-globulin of animal origin may also prove effective in the treatment of postvaccinal complications."

Immune Therapies and Insurance Coverage
Because immunological therapy for the treatment of autism is considered experimental, most insurance companies and HMO's will not cover these (substantial) medical expenses. Since virtually every company will cover expenses due to immune deficiencies, it is essential that the physician document the fact that the child has a significant immune deficiency. Because some insurance companies may not even cover the laboratory tests for the diagnosis of immunodeficiency, the wisest course is to contact a clinical immunologist.
Clinical immunologists are often physicians who are working part-time in the treatment of patients and part-time in research activities as well in a large medical center or medical school. These physicians may be of assistance in getting insurance coverage for therapies, which are based on an immune deficiency diagnosis-such therapies might not be covered with an autism or PDD diagnosis.
When medical plans and HMOs are reluctant to provide even testing, it may be necessary to begin a letter writing campaign, which includes scientific books (such as this one) and articles (referenced herein). If education does not help, it is sometimes necessary to bring in letters from an attorney, to show that you are very serious about pursuing testing and treatment. You may want to consider contacting the news media about your dilemma.
