Dr Sara Pugh: "[Your blog] says the autism rates are highest in the whole world in California. Yet you'd think it's the most educated, the most healthy and the most wealthy."
Dr Jack Kruse: "Well the reason why it's like that, […] the thesis that I laid out in that podcast, basically that the retinohypothalamic tract is the gun that shoots at melanin targets deep in the brain. I made the comment that anything with the name thalamus in it is a target of the retinohypothalamic tract.
"Well the distal end (in neurosurgery we call things caudal and rostral, rostral being the head, caudal being the tail), the tail end of the retinohypothalamic tract is the human thalamus. What does the human thalamus do? That's where all five senses congregate. They're all there. That's the defect that's in autism.
"What happens in the thalamus in the embryo? The thalamus undergoes what we call neurulation. Neurulation creates the hemispheres above. When you understand autism functionally, it's a defect in POMC biology that eliminates melanin somewhere in that tract so that neurulation is defective. This is the reason why the kids have a huge problem with sensation: being touched, sounds, bright lights, anything like that. […]
"You don't have a sense in your body that doesn't use melanin. When I told people in the blogs in the quantum engineering theory that you have to use light to hear, people couldn't believe it until I showed them a picture of the cochlea and then showed them papers that said I was right.
"Same thing is true with smell. That's why Turing is more right than the guys […] that got the Nobel Prize for the lock and key mechanism for smell. Same thing is true with Pacinian corpuscles and touch. Same thing is true with any sense. Melanin is the key semiconductor for sensation.
"When you understand that autism is a sensory deprivation, or how shall I say, almost a synkinesia or an akinesia of sensory abilities. Most people never take the next step where they go back and say, 'Well neurulation only occurs from the thalamus. So that's the reason why the defects are present between different parts of the hemisphere. That's the reason why there's a spectrum, because wherever the melanin defect is, is where the kid's going to be autistic the most.'"
