Yoga breathing improves lung function in healthy volunteers.
PMID: Holist Nurs Pract. 2019 Jul/Aug;33(4):197-203. PMID: 31192831 Abstract Title: Definition of a Yoga Breathing (Pranayama) Protocol That Improves Lung Function. Abstract: This study tests the hypothesis that yoga breathing (pranayama) improves lung function in healthy volunteers during a 6-week protocol. A randomized controlled pilot study demonstrated an improvement in peak expiratory flow rate and …

This evidence suggests that mercury may be either causal or contributory in the brain pathology in autism spectrum disorder.
PMID: Acta Neurobiol Exp (Wars). 2012 ;72(2):113-53. PMID: 22810216 Abstract Title: Evidence of parallels between mercury intoxication and the brain pathology in autism. Abstract: The purpose of this review is to examine the parallels between the effects mercury intoxication on the brain and the brain pathology found in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This review finds …
The results show an association between the apparent level of mercury toxicity as measured by urinary porphyrin biomarkers of mercury toxicity and the magnitude of the specific hallmark features of autism.
PMID: Biometals. 2010 Dec ;23(6):1043-51. Epub 2010 Jun 9. PMID: 20532957 Abstract Title: A biomarker of mercury body-burden correlated with diagnostic domain specific clinical symptoms of autism spectrum disorder.

Mercury stimulates VEGF and IL-6 release from human mast cells which could disrupt the blood-brain-barrier and permit brain inflammation.
PMID: J Neuroinflammation. 2010 Mar 11 ;7:20. Epub 2010 Mar 11. PMID: 20222982 Abstract Title: Mercury induces inflammatory mediator release from human mast cells. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Mercury is known to be neurotoxic, but its effects on the immune system are less well known. Mast cells are involved in allergic reactions, but also in innate and …
Autism lymphoblastoid cells exhibit a reduced glutathione reserve capacity in both cytosol and mitochondria that may compromise antioxidant defense and detoxification capacity under prooxidant conditions, as induced by thimerosal.
PMID: FASEB J. 2009 Aug ;23(8):2374-83. Epub 2009 Mar 23. PMID: 19307255 Abstract Title: Cellular and mitochondrial glutathione redox imbalance in lymphoblastoid cells derived from children with autism. Abstract: Research into the metabolic phenotype of autism has been relatively unexplored despite the fact that metabolic abnormalities have been implicated in the pathophysiology of several other …
