Details : Damaged Myelin Sheath and Exposed Nerves

The myelin sheath is an insulator which protects our nerves from electrical impulses while simultaneously causing those impulses to travel faster. When the myelin sheath surrounding and protecting the nerves becomes damaged by the viruses introduced into the body by vaccinations, or by the Lyme disease bacteria if a child has been exposed to that, two things happen…

1) The nerves are damaged by the viruses and bacteria, and

2) further damage is inflicted on the myelin sheath by the autoimmune response that develops as the immune system unsuccessfully tries to attack the bacteria or viruses.

So what is the consequence of nerve damage and a damaged myelin sheath?

Pain.

On a scale of 1 to 10, the pain level in a severely autistic child is a 9. The spinning, the head beating, the repetitive motion, is all an unconscious attempt by the child to overload their sensory system so much that it shuts down and dulls the pain.
