In a newly published research study, Tissier and colleagues at the Universite ‘ de Strasbourg, France, identified wild hamsters that were eating primarily corn monoculture diets and exhibiting siblicide and maternal infanticide. Cannibalism was one of the theories for the decline of their population. Mother hamsters fed exclusively corn would take their pups, place them together with the stashes of corn they had stored in the cage, and start eating their young. Siblicide was also observed. Only 5 percent of the offspring of the females fed corn survived. The rest were eaten. For the other group fed a varied diet, 80 percent of the babies survived. However, supplementation of corn diets with just vitamin B3 (niacin) prevented the aggressive cannibalistic behavior.[1] Read more.

Posted February 28, 2017
I believe that the first vitamins used clinically in “mega” doses were vitamins C and niacin (vitamin B3). Megadoses of vitamin C were used intravenously by Dr. Fredrick R. Klenner of North Carolina to cure polio and other viruses. Megadoses of niacin were used by Dr. Abram Hoffer to successfully treat schizophrenia and many other diseases. Dr. Klenner’s results were ignored, but the dramatic findings of Dr. Hoffer could not be ignored. It was his clinical results with niacin that launched the megavitamin revolution. Read more.

In a clinical trial sponsored by the National Institute of Child Health in Hungary in collaboration with Merck, researchers indicated in 2014 they were going to test the original 4-valent Gardasil vaccine to treat recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), a rare disease in children caused by HPV types 6 and 11, which also cause genital warts. The study was designed to enroll children as young as 1 year old with RRP and administer three doses of the HPV vaccine to “assess response to vaccination.”8 The trial was first registered with the U.S. government’s clinical trial database in November, 2013, with an estimated completion date of February, 2017.

Four clear, replicable, and related discoveries explaining how autism is triggered are forming an undeniably clear picture of autism’s causation, and possibly ways to alleviate the symptoms, too.
