Asperger Syndrome Remedies

"Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder, and people with it therefore show significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported.[1][2]
Asperger syndrome is also called Asperger's syndrome,[1] Asperger (or Asperger's) disorder,[3][4] or just Asperger's;[5] it is named after the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger who, in 1944, described children in his practice who lacked nonverbal communication skills, demonstrated limited empathy with their peers, and were physically clumsy.[6] Fifty years later, it was standardized as a diagnosis, but questions about many aspects remain.[7] For example, there is lingering doubt about whether it is distinct from high-functioning autism (HFA);[8] partly because of this, its prevalence is not firmly established. The exact cause is unknown, although research supports the likelihood of a genetic basis; brain imaging techniques have not identified a clear common pathology.[1]"

[YEA] 10/26/2009: Vanessa Kay from Binghamton, New York writes: "In mid summer, a good friend of mine referred me to ACV. He had been having serious health problems concerning lyme disease and Shingles, which are now completely cured by nutrints. Anyways, to my point...we are conditioned not to believe that a $3.50 bottle of liquid can resolve nearly all of your health problems, but its true. I have seen serious self-improvement both physically and mentally here.
I have struggled with a cognitive condition named aspergers syndrome throughout my life. For right now, all you need to know about this condition is that there are many ADHD and OCD symptoms associated with it. For the past three years of my life, I had been actively pursuing a pharmeceutical solution to my problems. However, I could not find anything that did not lead to serious problems with anxiety and depression. Apple cider vinegar seemed to solve many of my issues. I can now pay attention in class or sit in the library reading for durations as long as four hours. At first i wasn't sure why, now I think that its the vinegar. These issues have not completely gone away, nor ever will they, but they are now much more manageable.
I originally followed my friend's advice on taking vinegar because i was told that it led to weight loss. This is also true. For the past 2 months or so, i haven't been able to keep up with a near-daily exercise routine that I used to be on the very top of. Normally i'd gain weight like nuts but if anything, i've lost...my appetite seems to be smaller in a positive way on days that I drink the vinegar. Family and friends have also comented that my 'baby face' has gone away since I started taking it.
At any rate, ever since I started taking hte vinegar, I have felt much healthier, happier, more stable, and more confident in both appearance and personality. I strongly reccommend this stuff. Its totally worth the somewhat unpleasant taste a few times a day!"
10/26/2009: Janice from Coloma, Mi replies: "Are you using just vinegar or are you putting baking soda or honey in with it?"
10/29/2009: Vanessa from Binghamton, New York replies: "I haven't tried mixing any of that in. However, I take fish oil twice a day, which also seems to be useful. Have you tried using honey, baking soda, or anything else that you have deemed as effective?"

1 BETTER BUT NOT CURED
[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 10/29/2009: Vanessa from Binghamton, New York writes: "Hello all,
I am a nineteen year old who was diagnosed with a mild case of aspergers syndrome at a young age. As of now, I am trying to figure out ways to cure it, particuarly the associated ADHD and OCD symptoms. The inability to sustain attention and fidgitiness are the main aspects that I feel throw off my life. I take the following supplements, some for aspergers other for physical appearance:
-Cinnamon
-Fish Oil
-Apple Cider Vinegar
-Hair, skin, and nails formula
-I just started Magnesium Zinc
After reading all of these articles, i'm thinking about throwing more in, maybe Vitamin C and/or flaxseed oil? But I don't want to be takingso many supplements at once as to throw my body off. Any recommendations as to what would be ideal for me?
Oh, and to help out anyone else in my situation, ACV and Fish oil really help. Magnesium seems to as well but I can't guarantee anything since I just started taking it. ^_^"
11/03/2009: Vanessa from Binghamton, New York replies: "Don't use the magnesium, it doesn't seem to be working well. I've been less focused, which may be a coincidence but that surely means it isn't helping the situation. Also it leads to a lot of gas and time on the toilet. Not worth it..."
12/15/2009: Tinyrobdavis from Ne Castle, Indiana Usa replies: "Hi Vanessa,You might want to add 1000 mg of calcium a day and about 400 mg of vitamin c
Also I would highly reccomend reading the book "Healing the New Childhood Epidemics - Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies" By Dr. Kenneth Bock, MD
I believe my son has Asbergers or something on the Autism Spectrum. I am awaiting his evaluation. However this book was rreccomended to me by a group of parents with autistic children, some of whom have been entirely cured using the healing program in this book. You may also want to investigate a casein/gluten free diet. I will hold you in the light as you follow your path to healing.Warmly,
Robin"
12/16/2009: Lisa from Thousand Oaks, Ca, USA replies: "Hi Vanessa, Google Dr. Mark Hyman and he has quite a bit of video online talking about the connection of diet and autism, ADD, etc. He has a book of his own but you can learn quite a bit from just listening to him online. He tells his own story but also cases of where he has turned people around who have these "diseases" just through nutrition, diet, and body chemistry. It's very good work and I believe this holds a lot of keys that the medical profession does not give credibility to so you must do your own work in this area. I do wish you the very best and will be interested if you check into this and if it gives you any "keys". Lisa"
01/05/2010: Erin from Lafayette, In replies: "Vanessa, I agree with the others that have stated a gluten-free/casien-free diet. My best friend's son has Asperger's and there is a HUGE difference when he does get milk products as to when he doesn't. I never was able to convince her to take him off of gluten too, as she felt like she was "punishing" him, but baby steps I guess. So instead of trying to add stuff in to make you feel better, try taking a few things out and see what happens. Good luck!"
