Natural Remedies for Autism

I just came across an article that has left me with immeasurable hope for family members of autistic children, including our own grandson. I hope and pray E.C. will print the link. It's an interview with Maija Hahn, pres of R.E.A.C.T. whose 3 children regressed after vaccines. She began researching after losing trust in the medical establishment. “These kids' brains are inflamed—chronic encephalitis, can be autoimmune encephalopathy— that inflammation is much like a stroke.”

Please help get this interview out to the world. Our babies and parents deserve all the help we can offer. Thank you E.C., you're my go to!

Hi, I am looking for more information on the Studies of Jeff Bradstreet and his protocols to treat autism. I have been doing a lot of research on natural methods to treat autism and am interested in learning more to help my son.

Greetings. Please, where can I learn more about the protocol for reversing Autism with Turpentine? What is the protocol, please? Also, being that turpentine is derived from Pine trees, can I use Maritime Pine organic essential oil instead of store bought turpentine? Please advise. I have a beautiful and very sweet autistic boy that because of his autism and ADHD, has great, great difficulty in concentrating and therefore learning. I want to help him. Please help us.

TREATING AGGRESSION, CRITICAL THINKING, ANXIETY AND DISINTEREST/CONCENTRATION IN AUTISM

From personal research, Mitochondria, chemical imbalances, low glutathione, heavy metal toxicity and toxicity in general cause the above biomedial issues with children with autism.

Could someone provide some guidelines to alleviate these challenges as they affect academic studies as well as home life.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Karyn, that was an amazing story and one with a happy ending, something we could use more of. I am seeing a girl that has a 4 yr old boy such a sweet little guy and she thinks he is showing signs of Autism. I am trying to read all I can and offer advice and support for her and Felix. I would do anything to be able to help him get well. Where can I get a copy of your book for his mom? Thank you so much. Chris

Hi Bill

thanj you for the information. I have read your book and I like it however it is intimidating grabbing any supplement mentioned and give ing to a 3 year old who has mild symptoms of autism …what dosage is ok and when is best time during the day to give these supplements and which ones are better for a child who is three and which ones are not safe …. He does not speak only barely says hi and bye and mom and dad but he doesn't not pronounce the letters in those words well … he does not play with other kids and is into himself … does not respond when you call him and does not make eye contact etc. He bites his dad quite often.

please if you could provide some insight as to dosing I would greatly appreciate it and if you could also let us know if bentonite taken orally or betonite clay bath is good for getting rid of toxins .. also which test is beta test to administer to see where he is at and what is his main issue to solve be it fungus or metal toxins such as mercury or lead or aluminum or parasites or Candida …

Many thanks

Excellent article! Please view Dr. Andrew Moulden's work in Tolerance Lost -Brilliant how he explains and clearly shows how mercury ( thimerasol ) & aluminum are causing ischemia - strokes in babies.

Moulden explains : Hg & Al have positive electron charges .Red blood cells, which are negatively charged, are neutralized by the Hg & Al . The human heart is not strong enough to push blood through over 60,000 miles of circulatory system. The positive electromagnetic force of the earth ( Zeta potential )moving through us assists the heart to help each red blood cell squeeze through the capillary.
.
When blood cells are neutralized they aggregate then clot causing strokes that prevent critical oxygen getting to the brain cells. The genius Dr Moulden clearly illustrates how brain damage occurs and is manifested on the child's face with, for example, a slight sagging in the corner of the mouth or a lazy eye.

Dr Moulden's conclusions were so powerful that he never lost a court case as an expert witness for MMR vax injured kids and was subsequently warned to stop his crusade. Two months later, he was assassinated in 2013 by Pharmafia just two weeks before he was to release his next brilliant work called Tolerance Found, debunking Germ theory and giving parents around the world a simple protocol to heal their injured children.

Please watch this essential series on YouTube and send thanks to his family.Dr Moulden gave his life with 15 years of education &research for the love of children and their families.

Yes, definite link between mum taking antidepressants while pregnant and child having autism - personal experience. More big Pharma maiming of innocent children and families.

This is an arbitrary view not based on fact. Methylmercury is best OUT of the body. The tissue does what it can to isolate it until it can be removed. I will say it is likely a great idea to have a plan for detox available before and following any type of high dose b12 for intents of mercury mobilization, and not to do it without a plan, for myself anyways. I personally tend to try to open up the detox pathways with many means.

But don't sit here and tell people there's nothing you can do for Autistic children, whilst simultaneously spreading fear and doubt about removing heavy metals from the body.

Nothing you can do.

Sounds quite the opposite from most peoples' stories. If they're such bogus, why are there so many success stories?

Follow this guy's advice and don't act, you won't see results.

To answer the question of the person asking how a child can take many supplements is possible and many different ways to give it to them, they are used to taking supplements and when something works for them, they ask you for the supplement. Thank you.

I'm wondering how you get an autistic child to be able to swallow so many supplements.

Make cheap GcMaF at home: https://youtu.be/5IxrJM4lKkk. Book title is Immune for Life. Author is Mary Ferrari.

Autism is a complex issue requiring a complex course of treatment. Turpentine is one tiny piece of a huge jigsaw puzzle called autism.

Study the work of Dr. Jeff Bradstreet and you will begin to unlock autism's many secrets.

The very first primary bit of truth about autism is that the child's immune system has been shut down by the presence of NAGALASE .autistic kids invariably show massive levels of nagalase.

What is nagalase? It is an enzyme produced in nature by a fertilized human egg. it provides absolute protection from the immune system.in fact nagalase enzyme is the only substance in the universe which is genetically coded to fit into human DNA and shut down the immune system. it is ONLY found in a fertilized human egg.well at least until science took over. Almost 60 years ago science found a way to duplicate natural occurring nagalase and subvert it into a weapon that literally shuts down immune system function. Since the 60s nagalase has been added to several vaccines and many different viral species including most forms of cancer to make them unstoppable.able to over run your body and suppress your immune system .Dr Jeff Bradstreet and colleagues discovered the truth of this and paid for it with their lives.

Study nagalase and its counterpart GCMAF and you will be off to a good start. Japanese researchers working on the immune system found the on switch which fires up a deactivated weak immune system and supercharges it by a factor of 30 times its resting state. It's a human protein all healthy people make called GCMAF .this is the exact opposite of nagalase and it blocks the effect of nagalase creating health where sickness used to prevail. Dr. Bradstreet used gcmaf on 1100 autistic kids and 85 percent improved while 25 percent fully recovered from autism.

He used diet correction, corrected intestinal dysbiosis, got rid of candida such as the turpentine cure does, clear out biofilm with serrapeptase systemic enzyme then hit the bad microbes with colloidal silver, and chelate out the heavy metals with EDTA and herbs like cilantro, etc then replenish good bacteria with prebiotic such as primal defense ultra or better yet bravo yogurt a blend of 42 species which kill off the harmful species unique to autism. The intestinal microorganisms of healthy kids and autistic kids are different as nite and day.

Researchers gave fecal samples from autistic kids to monkeys and they soon turned autistic. a huge effort must be made to correct and monitor the intestinal tract otherwise no progress can be made. Autistic kids who receive fecal transplants from healthy kids often start doing great. Doctors don't do simple common sense treatments often enough in my opinion.

Again, study Dr. Jeff Bradstreet's work and it will take you a long way on your journey

Hi Cindy,

a Book you may consider buying is one by Jeff Bowles

”The miraculous results of extremely high dose Vitamin D”

he speaks of people being cured of all disorders

Where can you get oxygen treatment or what exactly is it titled under? I'm in Florida and am interested in finding this treatment for my family.

I think prozac may have sped up dental problems I have faced over the years and lithium ruined my skin and devastated my memory. It was an overload of zinc.

Thank you! I have used kefir and separately add L.Reuteri but I haven't been consistent with this lately, when I see improvements I tend to slacken, I will make it part of our daily nutrition now. I really appreciate this site, so much real and helpful information.

Thank you for your post.

With regards to autism, a link between gut bacteria and improvement in autistic symptoms has been established.

Homemade milk kefir is an excellent source of many strains of good gut bacteria, some of which have been proven to improve autistic symptoms. The commercially available store bought kefir contains only a few strains of bacteria, while the homemade version from real kefir strains contains 26 or more strains. It is also much cheaper than buying probiotics in pill form. The kefir digests much of the lactose in milk, so it should be tolerated in smaller amounts even by those with lactose intolerance.

Hello Tintin, thanks for your post on DE.

My question is, how old was your child when he first started taking the DE and how much did you give him? Are you able to put the DE in juice so that a child could better drink it?

Thanks so much,

Con

I started taking this for myself as a natural way to heal my gut issues, my hair and nails love it, I have to cut my hair every couple months as opposed to the previous annual haircut because of slow growth...

The greatest outcome, however, was giving it to my family and finding my child who has autism start to communicate more easily overnight and his focus was clearer when we would take it, it has been a couple years now that we have taken it as a family everyday and he is highly functioning now, a happy child.

I do credit DE with helping his body heal (we also included good fats, healthy foods and lots of fun activities in his journey of health also).

There have been successful fecal transplants for autism. Autism symptoms reduced nearly 50 percent two years after fecal transplant. Check out youtube videos for do-it-yourself transplants. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190409093725.htm

Digestive enzymes, probiotics, fermented food and magnesium seem to help.

What is DE for heavy metal testing?

Your post is an perfect example of why I love this site. I myself believe that the underlying cause of autism is linked to Candida overgrowth, toxins, and the health of the parents, so I applaud the research and effort put into it. Thank you!

Thanks for your information. My son has autism severe learning disabilities, and has terrible meltdowns He has Fish oils, but now going to try the evening primrose oil.

C: Most all nutritional supplements have dosage recommendations, so just follow those guidelines as labeled and you'll be fine. If I may back up a bit, I would suggest a good healthfood store brand Multiviatmin/Mineral with any additionals like green foods, digestive enzymes etc. This will provide a good amount of Vit-D as well as many other nutrients needed by the body. As for supplementing Fish Oil, I get more benefit from eating Salmon, Mackerel, or Sardines regularly and take a supplement of Flax Oil. Coconut Oil is highly recommended for improving brain health and keeping fungal infections suppressed so do consider this also. Back to Vit-D, when the weather is suitable he can Sunbath as well as Grounding or Earthing where one lays upon the soft grass on a warm day to help pull out bad energy & stress.

Hi - I have a 23 yr. old son who has grown up with high functioning autism. I understand that Vit. D and Fish Oil would benefit him. Can anyone tell me the recommended dosage for each? Thank you.

If anyone is interested, in Marrero, Louisiana there is a doctor who runs a hyperbaric oxygen therapy center - Dr. Paul Harch.

Dear Jennifer,

I think adults typically start with 1/2-1 teaspoon of DE, so I wouldn't start with more than 1/8-1/4 teaspoon for a child. And that amount could easily be added to oatmeal or yogurt, I think. I believe it can be constipating so you would want to watch for that.

If DE doesn't agree with your child, there are many things you could like use instead. What are you trying to treat with it?

~Mama to Many~

Would love any insight on this & DE for kids (Aspergers specifically). I have began taking DE after ordering it to treat what seemed like signs of hook worms in my dog (he was like a new puppy within 10min of ingesting it so I was sold! ) I felt the positive effects that same evening so I decided to make my son (he's 8) a drink with 1/2 a tablespoon instead of 1 TBS I take & I think it was too much BC he was nauseated & eventually threw up but I have read so much about it that seems to be exactly what he needs for the gut issues & allergies. I can't find an ounce of info on giving DE to children period let alone taking it to treat the gut in someone on the spectrum so that in combination with it making him sick has been discouraging but I feel like the research & benefits match up so well it's mind boggling to not have more answers!

I have a nephew with autism that saddens me every day because his potential as a human being was taken away. One in 48 children here in the US are struck on the autism spectrum...and here is more evidence that drugs do play a part in this devastating disease - please share the info with others you know..would you take an antidepressant if your unborn child had an 87% chance of contracting the disease?

I am just wondering if Terri Rivers protocol does work, I am fighting trying to help my non verbal 6 year old son. He does not talk nor does he have a great attention span.. Please I'll try anything if its safe. Please help me help my boy.

I have been using cd and turpentine for my son and would love to join the group! So happy to have heard about the group, it might make things easier! Please send me details!

Are we talking about the same turpentine you use to dissolve paint?

Ah senior moment now I remember, my parents buy 25kg magnesium salts from the dead sea as farmers use it for salt lick and is cheapest to buy from farming shops, in New zealand its marketed under the name of prill and they bath in it three times a week as dad researched it is much better to take transdermally as can't OD either.......it is a safe way to take it and a safe product and can put 2 litres of the salts in a bath for adults, , , , , , but would have to reasearch dose for kids as dad didnt bath my kids in it saying something along the lines of it can leach something else from you (maybe calcium??????) it has feed mum and dad of osteo arthritis and gives them energy etc but have not tried on my autistic kids, I'm doing coconut keifer at the moment.

I wonder if ozone will help then as a bath and drinking, I got a pink and white ozone machine for $20 with free shipping to new zealand and I got in room plug in ozone generators and you smell the oxygen in the room. Asians use ozone to clean all their fruits and veges of pestesides..... can't remember now originally why I got on here to post a comment as got distracted by the oxygen thing....

To Gavin from Manganui, Northland, New Zealand:

I found an article online about Dr. Abram Hoffer saying that schizophrenia could be cured by large amounts of niacin and vitamin C. He was curing/managing them before drugs were developed. Niacin or B3 will help those on the autistic spectrum as well. I also read the GAP book but my daughter is older and it is a challenge to get her to cooperate with any kind of diet. She has Asperger's. Vitamins, supplement, probiotic, etc. are helping.

Hi Bill,

I was reading about Kerri Rivera's CD protocol when I saw your post. I was also happy to see that your are from the Philippines. Our son is 4.6 yrs old diagnosed with ASD when he was 2 and we have been trying the NIDS protocol for 9mos now. However, the improvement is very little considering how expensive the medications and consultations are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Jen

Hi Carla...The current thinking on Autism and all ASD disorders is that these problems are all caused due to massive infestation of the child with parasites, candida and associated bacteria. It is the waste toxins that these pathogens produce that interferes with a babies brain development which is the main causes autism. See this research by Dr William Shaw. These constantly-produced toxic poisons from parasites and pathogens are what cause the learning, behavioural and social problems in the child. The treatment and cure for all ASD disorders is to kill off all the parasites, candida and other pathogens in the child's body thus removing all the dangerous toxins causing brain development problems as well.

Some months ago I was contacted by the father an autistic two year old boy who was in a private autism group trying to cure their children. He was following Kerri Rivera's protocol to cure autism which roughly involves the following protocols:

MMS(Chlorine Dioxide Protocol) as promoted by Andreas Klacker and Jim Hubble

MMS Enemas

Hulda Clark Parasite Protocol

No Anti-oxidants

Diet

The father of the autistic child had been on Terri Rivera's protocol for many months. He contacted me because he had read my book and wanted to know more about the Turpentine Protocol. He said that Terri's protocol had improved his two year old sons behaviour, learning etc by 80%(according to his ATEC scores) but that he could get no further improvement with Terri's protocol. I advised him to include and use 1/4 to 1/2 tspn turpentine mixed with castor oil and molasses or honey for taste.

Terri Rivera's protocol has so far cured 121 children from autism(with ATEC scores of less than 10) which is highly commendable. And it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. However, the cure is not consistent, because many people seem to have problems making progress. Terri Rivera has an autistic teenage son who has been on her protocol for 10 years and is still not cured. I have identified two reasons for this inconsistency -- Terri's protocol seems to be weak at getting rid of large parasites and is also not very good at getting rid of candida or bacterial biofilms. Turpentine is much better at doing both these tasks. The father has now stopped using the Chlorine Dioxide Protocol and is just using the turpentine protocol because he told me it was better with far less side-effects. His son also continues to improve. I am still advising and helping the father and the private autism group.

From my own research , here is a simple document that I wrote that describes additional protocols that will help to reduce both Herx or die-off reactions as well as reduce pathogenic poisons and will also help to reduce detox symptoms. As a group, all these simple protocols in the document are designed to more quickly heal the child's brain to normal social behaviour, learning etc.

Adjunct Nutrients to Help Minimize Detox, Herx Reactions and Poisons and to Help Proper Brain Development and Healing (wrt Learning, Social and Behavioural Problems)

Autism chelation therapy detox results and reaction 19/03/14: My daughter 5 is recovering from ASD, we do a lot to assist her function at optimum that is eg Gluten free, casein free, sugar free, no processed foods. With great results. Therapies.

We came across Bentonite clay on-Line and its ability to remove toxins from the body got me very interested. As the majority of those with ASD have difficulty removing toxins and heavy metals.

I gave her half a tsp on the 1st evening and noticed that she was more talkative the next day and less repetitive. On evening number 2 I put 1 tbs into a bowl and mixed it with putrefied water into a paste, and we did a body mask, and left it on until it dried (5min) in the bath I noticed little places of red where the clay had been on the longest , she really enjoyed her bath and was making sighs of relief (she usual hates bath and never lets me wash her back so this is notable) after her bath My daughter lent in and put here nose to mine! This is also something she never does, I asked her how she feels she remarked much better. and her speech became clearer , and more varied she asked questions.

Ok so any result like this is very encouraging but I think I got a little to excited to quickly, later that evening she was vomiting and she continued to vomit close to an entire night, she was in pain and had a fever at first I'am thinking its a bug but now I am thinking she was detoxing too fast. My advice to parents is to start very small as kids with ASD have a huge load of toxins, metals ect to offload.

The autism group that I am involved with follow Kerri Rivera's protocol against autism. You can join the blog on her website here for more information about this protocol:

Kerri Rivera's CD Autism Forum

Kerri Rivera's protocol roughly involves the following:

* Using the MMS(Miracle Mineral Solution -- Chlorine Dioxide) protocol on a daily basis on the autistic child or adult, as promoted by Jim Hubble and Andreas Klacker.

* Using MMS enemas.

* Using Hulda Clark's Parasite Protocol.

* Using other medications like Theralac to promote good gut bacteria.

* Avoiding antioxidants.

* Diet.

Kerri Rivera has also claimed that her protocol has already cured at least 100 autistic children.

I was contacted by a father from a private autistic group who had read my book on candida and was interested in what I had written about turpentine and biofilms. He had been following Kerri Rivera's protocol for his autistic son for some while. He then told me that his two year old son's autism had improved by about 80% according to his ATEC scores while using MMS and Kerri's protocol. But that his son seemed to have reached a plateau and his son was now not improving much at all. I then advised that perhaps the one thing missing in Kerri's protocol was something that removed candida and bacterial biofilms more efficiently and quickly - so I advised implementing gum turpentine as well into the protocol for this reason. Without removing biofilms, it has been my experience that it becomes very difficult to get rid of well-established systemic candida problems. He implemented the turpentine protocol within Kerri's protocol on a daily basis with his young son and, after only a month, his son is excreting more parasites and biofilms consistently in his stools and the boy now continues to markedly improve.

The dosages of turpentine that the father is currently using for his son is 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon turps, depending on the age of the child. Turps is taken together with castor oil(1 tspn to 1 tablespoon, also dependent on age) together with sugar or molasses or honey. The castor oil is there to help the child to achieve 3 major toilets a day in order to help clear out parasites, candida, biofilm and toxins more quickly from his system. The father has now also formed his own autistic group and we have both been helping others wanting to cure their autistic children using both the Kerri Rivera Protocol and the Turpentine Protocol. Turpentine appears to be very powerful at removing parasites, candida, other pathogens and biofilms.

Dr William Shaw, in Great Plains in Kansas, is another researcher who has been successful in his own medical approach and treatments against autism and autism spectrum disorders. He uses a new medical approach and believes that autism arises and is caused mainly from toxic waste products from both bacteria and candida. Unfortunately, his treatment seems to be hideously expensive.

Any one who has a child or adult with autism or anger or depression should have them treated at a oxygen healing place where they do hyperbaric treatment. They must bring them down to at least 40ft level. It is an amazing thing. The results after the first hour to hour and a half. I have had so many results in my family that I do not have time to list them all. My son had a lot of anger and dark thoughts and other symptoms. It dramatically changed in 1 visit. I can't explain the calmness he showed after. Same with my stepdaughters son. Who always cried a lot and threw fits and was angry every morning. She was loosing her mind because he constantly said I hate you. He went into a deep level treatment and he became a better kid. He isn't perfect but no longer says I hate you. Much easier to handle. I have many more stories like my brother n law having a level 4 prostate cancer. it wasn't responding to normal chemo. He was scheduled for surgery and We talked him into going into the oxygen treatment. He went 3 times then went to surgery 3 days later. The doctors were shocked that the pear size tumor was crumbling and not alive. They removed it and he is cancer free.

WARNING!

I would strongly advise against prescribing B12 to children without first consulting both your GP and a local medical clinic. B-12 (or methylcobalamin) produces the highly toxic methylmercury as a part of it's action. Methylmercury causes neurodegeneration and, by strongly binding to proteins, is highly toxic towards tissues. The organomercury compounds are best left in the cell tissues where the body can isolate and deal with them. The only reason methylcobalamin is used in medical treatment is to help improve the strength of the peripheral nervous system for the disorder peripheral neuropathy. The best thing (I speak from both scientific research and personal experience here) for anyone with Autism is a wide and varied lifestyle, a good TLA or other support staff in school and positive attention. There is little else that you can do. This support will often help autistic children develop compensatory methods for dealing with problems. Speak to a local autism support trust, and they will help you more. Be careful not to get dragged into expensive (and more often than not, bogus) medical treatment, as a great majority of them are completely irrelevant.

Hi Debbie, I have a 5 year old autistic child and I am keen to try biomedicine for him. Can you tell me which biomedical doctor are you seeing for your son? Thanks.

Hello, my autistic son dropped his ATEC scores from more than a 100 to 3 in less than a year using MMS. Autism/ASD recovery is possible at any age, my son is almost 16. It is never too late.

Apologies to anyone who sent an email to sadesade(at)hotmail(dot)co(dot)uk, email was wrong. I can be contacted on sadesade(at)live(dot)co(dot)uk.. my mistake the other email that I gave was wrong.

Dear Jane and Kathy, Thank You ever so much for the wonderful feedback. Should yourselves or anyone require any useful suggestions or tips please feel free to contact me. I do also have a website which I am unsure of if I am allowed to post it on here so I will not do so. It is not a website about autism, only one about loving parenting. In short it is exactly the way I parented and still do to this day.

I can be contacted on sadesadea [at] hotmail [dot] co [dot] uk. I think that is acceptable.. I hope.. And understandable for some as I know we are not allowed to post emails on here too. If I have breached any rules apologies, not quite sure if I have.

That was a beautiful testament to a mothers love. It bought tears to my eyes. You are a great example of how parents should be!

What a beautiful post, thank you Teresa. It was very inspiring and brought tears to my eyes. Kudos to you for the wonderful job you have done with your children. Many blessings to you and yours.

I noticed a few posts on autism on this site and I wanted to share my own experiences in this in case anyone can take anything from it and find it useful.

I have 15 year old autistic twin girls. From the age of 18 months their behaviour and development was noticeably different to other childrens. Their speech was delayed, their comprehensive abilities and their ability to communicate was markedly different to other children of the same age. They had all the classic traits of "autism" and most ppl in my life began asking me "what is wrong with your children?" to which I would reply, "There is nothing wrong with my children"

I cannot even begin to list all the ways they were different, from hand flapping, to lack of speech, lack of empathy, no eye contact, loathing physical contact, lining things up, strict rigid patterns for time keeping, routes to places, not liking certain foods because of the textures etc.. Food touching each other.. Lacking basic understanding of social normaties, sensory overload from lights and sounds etc.. No comprehension of sarcasm, humour and many other things.. I could go on...

They attended speech therapy, were on the special needs register at nursery and school .. Had extra support in school.

From the time I had realised they were different, I was supporting them and engaging with them myself alongside the school and the speech therapist. I had decided early on when I noticed their differences that I would re-train them so their rigid patterns would not interfere or reduce their life to eating the same food or walking the same path day after day.. Never wanting to go anywhere different or to eat anything different or to try anything other than what they always knew. Stuck in repeat patterns for the rest of their lives. I wanted for them to be independent free spirited adventurous beings with a zest for life and a capacity for boundless Love and exploration.

I turned to my doctor so I could get extra support and kept getting passed from one department to another who all told me I was in the wrong department. In frustration I decided I had had enough. I decided to keep doing what I was doing and go it alone, as by the age of 4 speech therapy had stopped and there was only minimal basic support in school at this time.

I treated the twins just as I treated my eldest child, able bodied and able minded. I instilled the same values in them as I did my eldest.. Taught ALL my children that they were highly intelligent evolved beings with a capacity for great things and that all they had to do was believe in themselves.. As I already did. That they could create anything and do anything they put their mind to. I reinforced and still do that they are amazing beings and are mega talented and super!

All of my children including the now 15 year old "autistic" twins (aside from their little quirks they still have) are highly intelligent, independent, talented, free thinking individuals. The twins, tho a little more gentler in nature than other children of the same age.. are as and in some ways more focused and evolved than others of the same age including many adults. For anyone who knew them when they were babies and young children, the difference is amazing. No one would ever believe they are/were autistic unless they knew them as young children and saw their progress.

I am sharing my experience for others and to say .. Take hope.. It's not the end of the world. Anything is possible if you can dream it and apply it. Never ever see your autistic child as disabled or as handicap.. See them as able minded, in fact more able minded than others in some ways.. Appreciate their differences and work with them.. Talk to them.. Appreciate them and explain things to them as you would any normal child and allow them to take the lead as you would any other child. Treat them as your shining children.

Further evidence that Autism and Autism Related Disorders have a direct correlation with The Modern Lifestyle (Environment). As opposed to a "genetic" cause, that "has no cure" and the patient must take prescribed medication "for the rest of his/her life".

Autism: Brain inflammation due to nutritional problems

Autism can be cured by nutrition and detoxification! As described by Dr Mark Hyman in his book:

http://drhyman.com

... "This is what we did with Sam:

• Cleaned up his diet of all allergens, sugar, empty calories and refined processed foods.
  
• Got rid of yeast with antifungals
  
• Removed toxic intestinal bacteria with a special antibiotic called xifaxin.
  
• Added healthy bacteria with probiotics
  
• Helped him digest his food with enzymes
  
• Added zinc, magnesium, folate, B12, B6, vitamins A and D, omega-3 fats
  
• Added coenzyme Q10 to help his mitochondria return to normal
  
• Helped him detoxify and reduce oxidative stress
• Added high dose B12 (with a special form called methyl B12) to boost his detox system.
  
• Gave him chelation medication DMSA and detoxifying nutrients to help him get rid of the heavy metals.

After 3 weeks on this program Sam showed dramatic and remarkable improvements..."

Those of you mentioning detoxing heavy metals are on the right track. Chelating metals is very important to do, but many of the supplements being promoted for chelation are not safe. Warn anyone against dabbling with heavy metal chelation as, when done improperly causes redistribution of the metals and more problems for your child.

You can safely chelate your child for heavy metals. Encourage you to check into the Andy Cutler protocol (aka AC Protocol), which uses a very low oral dose of DMSA and/or ALA. You can do this protocol on your own, without a doctor and is quite cheap

For more information, you should join the Autism-Mercury Yahoo Group and/or Fight Autism and Win Yahoo Group or Google the book Fight Autism and Win.

Also recommend methyl B12 shots which you can learn about in an ebook Autism the Road to Recovery or watch the author's Youtube videos.

Also suggest any parents check out diatamaceous earth and cleansing for parasites.

I believe there are several factors involved in the increase of autism, adhd and pdd's.

Environmentally: cell phones and cell towers emit electromagnetic waves which have been proved (in non-corporate funded studies) to disrupt the brain of a fully formed adult. I do not believe there are studies involving forming fetuses. Television programs for children have become sensory overload. The pictures change at a rapid rate and there again, studies show that youngsters under 3 who watch these programs have less of an attention span.

Dietary factors include a myriad of changes over the last 25 years, including Bovine-growth hormone in cow's milk, affecting anything made with cow's milk not clearly marked "No BGH". Combine BGH with genetically modified organisms and it's a wonder our kids and ourselves have digestive disturbances. Knowing which foods are not tainted with GMO's is a bit trickier, because the USDA and the FDA do not see GMO's as a health issue. California and Vermont have tried to require labelling, but I believe the bills didn't pass.

Vaccinnes have alot more in them that we are unaware of. If a parent doesn't want his or her child immunized, shouldn't that be their right? There's always homeopathy (which has no side effects) to qualify your child for school.

I see many children on the spectrum given heavy-duty prescription drugs, while diet is not considered. School lunches are full of processed, gluten-rich, genetically modified foods and bovine growth hormone meats and milk.

I honestly believe that as a parent of any child, it is imperative to give them the most nutritious foods, the healthiest communities and the most loving homes.

The government needs to get out of the way or do the right thing for our children and that starts with funding REAL scientists, not just the ones who are working for BIG BUSINESS. That means regulating GMO's, pharmaceuticals and processed foods by an administration who is not beholding to the drug companies (as IS the FDA).

Perhaps alpha lipoic acid would be effective in helping autism due to its' natural ability to chelate heavy metals.

Candida can easily be cured with organic virgin coconut oil. When you start, you'll probably experience the die off period because the oil is killing the candida. Starts out with a teaspoon and work your way up 1 to 2 tablespoons a day. I cured myself with it. I now take 2 tablespoons of organic virgin coconut oil every day. I use it in my hair and my skin. My hair look so much healthier and my skin feels so soft.

I agree, dietary changes have made a difference for my daughter, even at the age of 20, when she began the gluten free/casein free diet. She is also corn free. Parents might think their child is too old to benefit. I wish we had started younger. A gluten free diet is not very hard anymore.

Hi, Sunnie here again, could you please let me know where there is a Hyperbaric oxygen therapist clinic in Perth, Western Australia. I would like to try it for my son. I look forward to your reply.

Many thanks, Sunnie

Piracetam increases communication across the corpus callosum (between the left and right hemispheres of the brain) and has been shown to be effective in treating a range of neurological disorders.

From Wikipedia:

There is very little data on piracetam's effect on healthy people, with most studies focusing on people with seizures, dementia, concussions, or other neurological problems. However, a two week regimen of piracetam was found to enhance verbal memory in healthy college students in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Article cont'd.

Dear Llfiles, I just ordered DE for my son to detox heavy metals. Will let you know if I see any results... please do the same if you try it.

We've been talking about the relationship between diet and children with autism and ADD. It is entirely possible that a specific diet could help a child with these diseases (for lack of a better term), but it definitely won't compeltely cure them. I'm studying neuropsychology, and I hope to help find some help for the parents of children with autism in the future, but for now diet will only help so much.

Vitamin C (abscorbate acid) and iodine (lugols) are excellent to remove heavy metals from the body. Iodine will also remove flouride and murcury.

Has anyone used DE to treat heavy metal poisoning in autistic children?

@Shiva.. Can you please tell me what probiotics you are giving to your son... I am searching for probiotics in India.. It will be very helpful.. Also please let me know what anti fungal medicine you are using... Thank you for your help.

To Alfred from Perth, here is a chocolate flavored smoothie that your child may like. It's much better than chocolate and packs much needed nutrients:

1 banana

1 apple

honey to taste

1/2 cup of chocolate soymilk (I use Silk brand) & 1/2 cup of unsweetened regular soymilk

Blend everything with a little bit of ice. It tastes just like a chocolate ice cream smoothy!! Hope he likes!

Hi, My son is 4 years and he is having acute sensory issues... We are giving him probiotics and anti-fungals. His speech is improving little by little... I am thinking of b12 protocol very seriously.

Alfred, A Multi B-Vitamin alone at least once a day creates powerful hunger drive. But it is kinda stupid to use only vitamins when they need minerals as cofactors for enzyme production (which may be a major problem with this boy). Enzymes create and maintain the body's energy or metabolism, so any vit/min deficiency will reduce E. Find a good High potency with foods plus. At least 2 daily. If he is uncomfortable with pills, try some VitaminWater or any other nutritional "drink" or "fortified" foods or drink. When I was an adolescent, I got good lasting energy from the fortified cereal Total.

Also the vitamin-like nutrient DimethylGlycine (DMG) boost energy production as well as immunity and has been used successfully in the treatment of Autism for many decades. It may be necessary to have a health care professional monitor the DMG for dosage purposes but otherwise DMG is quite safe with anything under 2 grms daily; I traditionally use 500 mg daily.

Hope this helps and good luck.

Alfred, a great book to get is the "Gut and Psychology Syndrome" by Dr. Natasha McBride. She had an autistic child and actually cured him. She is a neurosurgeon. She devised a diet which starts out with the kids just eating home made chicken broth (high in calcium). Foods are added in after the "intro diet" and amazingly the kids do start to eat the foods. A lot of autistic kids have gut and digestive issues. She also recommends probiotics, digestive enzymes, fermented cod liver oil and others in the book. She has some great videos on youtube as well which are worth watching.

A lot of these kids are gluten/casein intolerant so the diet does not have these. They may be added in later once the child can tolerate them.

Alfred, I used to babysit an autistic child and I remember the difficulties of trying to get him to eat anything healthy. 7 Year olds are usually finicky anyways but being autistic just makes it more difficult to get them to understand the improtance of healthy eating.

There is a hazel nut chocolate butter in the US called Nutella that tastes just like chocolate but has a little protein too. It isn't exactly "health food" since it has lots of sugar but since your son is already eating chocolate most days it might help a little. I put it on pancakes, toast, sandwiches, crackers, apples, pears, etc... Though you might want to stear clear of gluten since there is evidence that it is bad for autism. It's worth a try.

It's wonderful that he eats avocado's though. They are very healthy. If he eats mashed potatoes you might try to sneak some blended steamed cauliflower into his taters. Also add some plain yogurt instead of milk and butter. If he likes anything mashed or blended you can try to add things that won't really change the taste but will enhance the nutritional value. There is a great cook book called "Deceptively Delicious" by Jessica Seinfeld. In this book she shows how you can sneak healthy veggies and fruits into foods kids love. It might help you out. I know my kids don't have a clue that I add avocados to thier brownies or broccoli to thier spaghetti sauce:) I love it and have come up with many great recipe's of my own using the same idea.

My son aged 7 was diagnosed with autism at age 5. One of the side effects of his autism is that he eats a very limited selection of food. He eats no meat, potatoes for vegetables, apples, bananas, watermelon, strawberries, avaovados and pears for fruit. Cheese once a month, a small amount of yoghurt, no milk and chocolate everything. When he has a lack of appetite he only eats chocolate or starves. He has to be given a tonic every day to encourage him to eat just one small meal a day. For this reason it is very difficult to put him on an elimination diet. We have tried the failsafe diet, but he starved himself for 3 weeks. In the end he was screaming from hunger, but would still only eat his preferences. Does anyone have some advice as to how to break through this problem? The most nutritious food he ever gets in is avocado toast (not every day) or potato chips (hot) not every day either. Does anyone know whether there is a Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy centre in Perth, Australia.

Alfred

Hi, my son is ADHD and asperger's too. Could you tell me how yr daughter has changed?

It should be made clear however that piracetam is very much not a natural substance, and is as much a drug as related racetams such as keppra, and further departures down the racetam family tree like tylenol. Piracetam is, as far as we know, a pretty safe drug - I myself have consumed upward of 10g of piracetam in a single setting with nothing except maybe some very mild stimulant effect - but for those interested in exclusively natural solutions, piracetam is NOT it.

Here is an excellent article on autism and magnesium. I give my son magnesium chloride baths as well as epsom salt baths regularly. This is called transdermal magnesium (through the skin) and is better absorbed than in supplement form. I have also just ordered magnesium citrate in powder form as well to give him (and myself). That type of magnesium was recommended in a book I was reading on magnesium.

My son definitely had lots of antibiotics in his first year (being a 26 week prem) and other medications which would have caused the gut problems.

http://lampoflife1.blogspot.com/2010/09/autism-and-magnesium.html

A good website on transdermal magnesium is magnesiumforlife.com

Also a good way to get magnesium into you transdermally is to swim in the ocean. If you live near the ocean swim/paddle in the water at least 30 minutes each time.

Hi Susan, I put the lugols in my son's milk (1-2 drops) - you can't really taste it. You also need to supplement with vitamin c (taken separately) and selenium (I crush brazil nuts). I also sometimes put it on his skin. His speech is definitely improving.

My son was on a lot of antibiotics when he was young. Antibiotics unless taken with probiotics can cause an outbreak of candida/yeast in the body. Dr. Orian Truss (google him) found that his candida therapy helped many diseases including autism.

He was also given Prednisone a lot for croup like symptoms. I have since discovered that Prednisone drastically depletes the body of magnesium and also ventolin does the same. So a deficiency of magnesium was treated with something that would deplete more magnesium in the body.

Read Dr. Brownstein's book on iodine.. It is worth reading. Your whole family should be on both iodine and magnesium.

Debbie - how do you give the iodine? Do you use Lugol's in a drink or do you put it on topically? I've been reading a lot about it lately and am very curious. Thanks, Susan

I have also added iodine and magnesium to my son's protocol as I read that no autism protocol should be without them. Of course do your own research.

Iodine will take heavy metals, flouride & bromide out of the body. It will also kill off bad bacteria/candida/yeast. It is good for IQ if given early enough.

Magnesium is also needed by the brain for learning and many other body systems. Many autistic kids are magnesium deficient. It also is very calming if your child is anxious. "The Magnesium Miracle" is a very good book.

That's so awesome, I'm checking it out right now! Thanks so much Susan.

Angie

I ran across this website thanks to my father and it is such a wonderful resource! I just wanted to reach out to all of you asking questions about autism. I host a weekly Internet radio talk show about autism called The Mother Cub Show where I interview many of the experts (including people like Donna Gates). I am also the mother to an 8 year old son with autism who is making tremendous progress every day! GAPs diet, flax oil, coconut kefir, probiotics & enzymes are key! Please check out website (www.mothercub.com) for blogs and archived shows. Best of luck to all

I notice that wholistic doctors are able to test for such metals and toxins. You would need to google and find one in your area.

Hi Warjov, also chlorella and spirulina that I am giving to my son also detox the body from heavy metals. There is much info on that. They also contain most minerals and vitamins and are regarded as a "food". They also help the body digest fats.

I am going to also start the B12 regimen. There is much info on that. I had started with and will start again. Thanks for the reminder Connie.

Yesterday afternoon I also put some iodine on my son's arm to see how deficient he was in it. This morning it was completely gone, no trace so obviously there is a problem there. Funny though he woke up around midnight and seemed more alert than usual and even said things he never says before (not sure if related to the iodine or not). Iodine levels can raise a child's IQ level and low levels will also lower IQ so I am thinking that may be an issue with my son. Maybe you could look at that as well. I will have to check where I can get iodine levels checked.

I am putting more iodine on him today and see if it also vanishes quickly. It is meant to stay on the skin for 48 hours if you don't have a deficiency. His vanished within 9 hours.

Hi Warjov ; In addition to the brilliant suggestions made here to you, I hope to add another. There is a Dr. Neubrander, drneubrander. Com, who has been working with kids along the spectrum for decades. He uses a wide variety of therapies, and if you go to the website, you can choose from 150 videos of parents that describe their results, with an achingly poignant honesty. Dr. Neubrander reports that 94% of his patients respond in a positive way, some dramatically, to subcutaneous injections of methylcobalamin, a type of vitamin B12, at approx. 1mg. Given every 3 days. (some children need it more often.) He's written very specific directions about this protocol that may be followed by other doctors, should they be curious. It may be worth a search.

Hi Warvoj, have you read the book Gut & Psychology Syndrome by Dr. Natasha McBride. She cured her son of autism by following a special diet. I have still to read it but it may be worthwhile for you to read it to see what she says about blood tests. She is also a neurologist.

Also I am reading "Excitotoxins, the Taste that Kills" by Dr. Russell Blaylock who says that MSG and Aspartame are responsible for many disorders and learning problems (they cause cell death). There are some foods you can take that are "glutamate blockers" and tumeric is one of them. Also people are in danger if their magnesium levels are low. Everyone should read this book. I first few pages are enough to scare the daylights out of you.

Vitamin C also chelates heavy metals. Also there are some good youtube videos if you google "gaps diet" or Natasha McBride where there are some real cases of kids totally turning around and they have some valuable information.

I am still having problems with my son, his speech is still very delayed. He is a bit better but way below what it should be for a 4 1/2 year old. I am going to take him to the mineral baths to get some minerals into his body and I have just bought some iodine (important for IQ) and magnesium chloride to put in the bath water to get his magnesium levels up.

Hello Debbie from Melbourne:

I saw where you are using garlic, turmeric and cilantro. I'm using that with my son. He's 9 with aspergers. I'm also adding raw cheese (both cow & goat). I can't buy raw milk in my state because it's illegal, so I'm settling for the cheese. I have notice some changes for the better, which makes me think that he may have some heavy metals in his blood.

I would like to get a blood test for him, but most doctors really don't know what to look for and will order a regular blood test, which won't tell me anything. Does anyone know what I need to tell them to look for in the blood test?

In Yeshua's arms,

Warvoj

Hi Angie, my son is 6 years old (PPD-NOS, ADHD diagnosis along with developmental delay and speech delay). We just started the GFCF diet and supplementation. We are going to have heavy metal test and yeast test in October. We are seeing a new DAN! Doctor in Cool Springs. Very excited and praying for recovery as so many people have had success with the biomedical approach. Thanks for the info regarding Vitamin C and coconut kefir. I will definitely look into those as well.

Hi Kaz, There is not a lot of evidence re studies done on this subject, but it is now a big business so I don't think we will see many independent studies done on this. There are many IVF children being treated by natural therapists so I suspect there are more problems than we will ever know about. I started to take more notice after a relatives (IVF) child was diagnosed with autism. There are a lot more mild (for want of a better description) cases of autism but parents have found success with very early intervention. In Australia there is (or was, I'm not sure if it is still available) help of about $12k for continuing therapies but only for young children. This is because the earlier the intervention the better the results. Unfortunately my relative found out about this after their child was just past the cut off age. If people do go ahead with IVF they need to take as best care as they possibly can with their diet, supplements etc. Plus extra care for their baby/child particularly their gut health. There is a fantastic book called 'The NATURAL WAY TO BETTER BABIES by Francesca Naish' it is nothing short of fantastic. She also has other books and she is in Sydney.

A very simple way to get the answer would be if there was a study done where the Dr that diagnosed the child with autism answered the questions was the child was vaccinated, IVF or not vaccinated. We would then see if there were true links. A very simple study to do but one I don't think will ever happen. All the best, Maria

Kaz, according to a Dutch research babies born from IVF have 50% more chance of birth deffects. They have also discovered recently that babies born from frozen embrios are heavier and bigger than other babies. I don't agree with these ways of procriation but well, I suppose everybody has to know for themselves! I don't agree with a lot of things in this world, which doesn't mean people shouldn't do them! Other problems with IVF is that we are creating a generation of infertile people. They now know that boys born from infertile fathers have a lot of chance of being infertile themselves. And the first IVF baby in Britain is a girl who needed IVF herself in order to have her child. I am not sure whether we are solving problems or making more problems..... Just think that it used to be greatly the survival of the fittest, now is everybody's survival but won't we end up creating a very weak society? And it is not only IVF........ I find it rather worrying!

Im just wondering there has been a big push to link autism with vacinations but discovered some information on the net on various studies where there was a suggestion that children born through IVF are more likely to suffer autism, gastro intestinal disorders, childhood allergies, increased sickness and hospital stays and developmental delays compared to children concieved naturally. Seeing the comments regarding milk and dairy allergies and then improvements in children when reduced, and comments made about gastro problems. Has the autism and IVF link been made by autism charities or a study done to see how many children who have autism or autism spector disorders where born through ivf?

Debbie-

The GAPS diet sounds amazing. I went to Natasha Campbell-McBride's web site and spent a good couple of hours reading and taking notes. We're introducing the diet to our son right now.

Thank you for your comments and for listing the things you've tried. I'll be asking his Dr. If we can do some tests to check vitamin B levels and high peptide levels. A friend told me the same thing so I'm really wanting to do this.

I don't understand the science behind it all. I am searching for more information on why bad bacteria causes such an imbalance. I do understand that foods that are low on the glycemic index are the best since bad carbohydrates convert into sugar and sugar is bad for autism.

I have so much to learn and would love to hear any other ideas or information anyone has to offer.

Looking forward to hearing how your sons progress is going.

Hopeful, have you heard of the GAPS diet. You can google "GAPS diet Natasha McBride youtube". Natasha McBride was a Nurosurgeon whose son was autistic. She studied nutrition to help him and in the end cured him. She found autism is actually related to GUT issues. Does your son have digestive issues? It is related to the gut issues. Once you heal the gut you can slowly heal your son. Lots of info on youtube from MANY parents who SAVED/are SAVING their children. Children who were non verbal suddenly started speaking and stopped many "autistic behaviors".

The GAPS diet add in fermented foods, probiotics, digestive enzymes and vitamins and minerals. Lots of home made broths (to add back in the calcium and minerals into the diet). Fermented cod liver oil is also added to the diet.

Autism is curable disease. Don't listen to people who say otherwise.

My son has developmental/speech issues and we are still working through the ins and outs of the diet for him (I am doing it as well).

Perhaps if B3 cant get to the brain due to some chemical abnormality in the digestive system.. The need to ingest the nicotine through cigarette smoke, might be some cell survival response. It might be worth finding the type of B3 they administered in the trial. If you google B3 and Schizophrenia you might find it.

Mercury poisoning can happen through environmental exposure, like a broken thermometer, or by occupation, or by the merthiolate (aka thimerasol) or mercurichrome that my mom used to rub into my scrapes and cuts (in the 70s), and then some of my accumulation traveling through the womb to my child.

I do believe--from the reading I've done--that genetics or a genetic disposition does play a good part in ASD, but I can't disregard heavy metal poisoning as a plausible cause where my son's symptoms are concerned.

Hi Hopeful in Pasadena,

You may want want to visit the autism-related Yahoo groups online, particularly the Autism Bio Medical Discussion (abmd) group. There are parents and ASD adults posting on that 'board about diet changes, medicated therapies, as well as natural ones.

I'm a member of the abmd group as well as several others, a couple specific to CA, and I do not use prescription drugs to help my son. He is high functioning and his symptoms are considered 'mild' by the psychiatrist who diagnosed it.

HTH, Sheila

Thank you for posting all of these rays of hope. My 3 year old son was diagnosed with high functioning autism 6 months ago. It has been such a new world for us that has led us to feel overwhelmed and hopeless.

I heard about the gluten/casein free diet, and didn't understand how this could help Autism. In addition, the vitamins/minerals make sense. This site has helped me understand more and given me hope and motivation to do it. I am willing to try anything that is not prescription drug for my son's well being. Thanks!

Thank you for the information about vitamin B3. My brother is Schizophrenic, and yes nicotine is a must for him. Also, he too suffers from toe nail fungal infection. I will look into getting some b3 for him.

When I worked in the Schizophrenic ward many years ago.. All the patients diagnosed as "Schizophrenic".. craved cigarettes, I now see, this craving was was the bodies need to take on vitamin b3.. The nicotine gets converted to b3... Latest research is suggesting that high doses of b3 have a very benificial effect on Schizophrenics.. In one university trial it claimed to eradicate the disease. It might be worth mentioning that virtually all the patients in the Schizophrenic ward and the Psycho geriatric unit had fungal infections of the toe nails.. This cant be just coincidence. A fungal infection in one part of the brain might be called Schizophrenia and in another Parkinsons, and another Alzhiermers. The observation must sugest something is going on.

Hello, I've started doing Ted's protocol for Autism for my 4 year old daughter. Just wanted to get feedback on someone that has tried. What to expect and what results did you get.

Thanks

Angie, my son is 4, has developmental delays including speech. I had great success with Vitamin C. It can chelate the heavy metals including flouride from the body. He went from singing one or two words in a song to singing the whole song (trying anyway) after about 2-3 weeks of having Vitamin C every day... About 3-4 grams per day). His speech also seems improved.

Also cilantro (corriander), garlic, tumeric all chelate heavy metals from the body so all our food has them in it.

I am also trying Evening Primrose Oil & Cod Liver Oil both have had great results in getting EFA into them... good speech results good concentration.

He also has a probiotics and digestive enzymes every day which helps digestion.

We went GFCF as from yesterday to see if that helps him. He has always had digestive issues and I think it is related. I have heard of Donna Gates.... We are looking at her diet and the GAPS diets from Dr. Natasha McBride as well.

He had a blood test recently which showed high folate and high B12 levels .... anyone know what that means? I did read it may mean high level of bacteria in stomach but need to investigate further.

Has anyone else heard of Donna Gates? She found some interesting conclusions similar to what you were talking about. She is the founder of the Body Ecology diet. I have been following her for about a year now. I tried young coconut kefir and cold pressed flax seed oil on my son for about 2 weeks and saw tremendous results! It's expensive so if you can find the instructions on her site to make the coconut kefir, then I recomend doing that. If anyone else has any information on Autism cures please post!
