Toxin-induced autism has been an epidemic since the late 1980’s showing that numerous autistics have high levels of mercury within their bodies. Detoxification via a cold laser has been found to drastically increase the amount of mercury removed from an autistic patient than with any other method. A lessened ability to excrete toxins is directly associated with autism. Having mercury present in the body also increases the effects of other toxins found in the body. Detoxifying the body via the cold laser method is ideal for those with autism.
