Stop eating dangerous genetically modified (GM) foods! That’s the upshot of the Lyme Induced Autism (LIA) Foundation’s position paper released today.

The patient advocacy group is not willing to wait around until
research studies prove that genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
cause or
worsen the
many diseases that are on the rise since gene-spliced foods were
introduced in 1996. Like the American Academy of Environmental Medicine
(AAEM) earlier
this year, the LIA Foundation says there is more than enough evidence
of harm in GM animal feeding studies for them to “urge doctors to
prescribe non-GMO diets” and for “individuals, especially those with
autism, Lyme disease, and associated conditions, to avoid” GM foods.

Dr. Jannelle Love, founder of the Autism Relief Foundation, is quoted in Kimberly Wilcox’s excellent article:

“It is known that children on the Autistic Spectrum suffer
from fragile immune systems, significant digestive and brain
inflammation, and the environmental toxin overload. Putting foreign
entities such as GMO foods into such a fragile child may indeed cause
further deterioration and perhaps block the delicate biochemical
pathways needed for appropriate functioning and possible recovery.”

The LIA Foundation calls for physicians and patient advocacy groups
to explain to patients the role that GM foods may play in disease and
to distribute non-GMO educational materials, including the Non-GMO
Shopping Guide, which makes it easier to find brands without GM
ingredients. (See www.nonGMOGuide.com).
They also called for a moratorium on all GM foods and for “Research to
evaluate the role of GM foods on autism, Lyme disease, and related
conditions.”
