There are hundreds of products today that help to improve autism (and make money for someone). My Neuroliminal Training is one. There are also many so-called charities making millions. Why am I the only one "pushing" a cheap prevention of this horrible problem?
Autism is all too often "a family bankruptcy disease". There's no money in prevention, but I believe that this is a much more important goal.
Many years ago, I learned from Linus Pauling and Carl Pfeiffer about toxic minerals and Vitamin C. This old knowledge applies to this new problem very nicely. It seems that Vitamin C combines molecularly with all minerals in the bloodstream making them into mineral ascorbates. This ascorbate combination is now water soluble and is filtered out by the kidneys and expelled in urine. In the ascorbate form, toxic minerals such as mercury and lead do not harm brain cells!
In my practice, because I was not an MD, I could not prescribe drugs to chelate out such minerals, so I used vitamin C instead to take out copper in some schizophrenics and mercury in some depressives. It works somewhat slower than the the expensive drugs such as EDTA, but it's inexpensive and sucessful with the added benefit of better resistance to colds flus and other infections.
An often overlooked fact about the liver and the "Brain Blood Barrier" is that the liver filters and stores toxic material, including mercury and lead. If, and only if there is some chemical that can take out these toxics, the liver cannot and will not release it back into the bloodstream for removal. This means that any blood, urine, or hair mineral analysis of toxics will show much less toxic minerals that are actually in the liver and affecting the person. Such "false" negatives of mercury have been used in court to try to "prove" that mercury in vaccines is not the "culprit". To get anything like a true reading of toxic minerals, it is necessary to "pre-load" the person with vitamin C, or some chelating drug. Vitamin C and/or Glutathione are the two chemicals used by nature for this.
Big Pharma keeps lying about the mercury in vaccines and keeps getting caught in these lies. My advice is simple: Never allow more than 1 vaccination at any one time. MD's and hospitals want to give all at once as it's more economical (makes them more money) to do so. Each of the vaccines has only a small amount of mercury used as a preservative, but the combined amount is often too much, particularly if the infant already has near toxic mercury levels in the liver. The above vitamin C regimen will lower the residual mercury so that the liver can again filter it out of the blood and keep it from the brain.
Actually the first step in perventing autism is: Get the mercury out of the pregnant mother as much as possible, so that the baby is born much less toxic. This gives that infant's small liver a chance to filter out any new mercury in vaccines and other sources without brain damage. No brain damage, no autism! However, remember that Vitamin C and all other chemicals take out ALL minerals so the nutritional ones have to be put back in!
That's it. It's that simple, it's affordable and it's effective. If the vitamin C is started later in the pregnancy, double or even triple the amounts. Add a dose at bedtime, etc.
I buy 500 tablets of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) at Costco or Walmart in 1 gram tablets. If the woman is allergic to corn, she may have to use Calcium Ascorbate which is non-allergenic generally. It's more expensive however.
While we're on the subject of vitamins, those "pre-natal" vitamins prescribed by most MD's today are not even close to the amounts of individual vitamins really needed today for pregnancy. I have used a multi vitamin mineral pill called VM-75 made by Solgar for some 30 years and haven't found an equal as good. (I get nothing from Solgar and even have to pay retail for my VM-75). This is much better than most pre-natal supplementals prescribed by MD's and if you add 1 gram of calcium and 1 gram of magnesium, you'll replace the nutritional minerals taken out by vitamin C.
Not so simple. There are at least four needed therapies for real initial progress. After these are done, then behavior techniques and learning is easier. These therapies are:
In the 2007 tests of 11 autistic kids using Neuroliminal Training (NT), only one did not improve significantly during an 8 week volunteer test, Even that one child improved somewhat, To see the data and comments for the last test Click here . Since that time, over 250 CD packages have been sold and only 3 have been returned under the guarantee! If no noticeable improvement within 60 days of usage, return the CD for refund.
The correct gut bacteria are absolutely essential to good digestion. If you take an antibiotic, some of it goes into the gut and kills some essential bacteria, while not affecting fungus or yeast. In a really healthy person, maybe you can re-grow that necessary bacteria colony, but probably not. Maybe, that particular area is taken over by fungus or yeast cells. The gut can’t work at normal efficiency and not enough necessary nutrition is getting thru. Does the term “Leaky Gut Syndrome” sound familiar? It occurs a lot in autistic infants because the stress of mercury toxicity actually damaging brain cells and normal growth requires much more nutrition in amino acids and vitamins than usual. So, in this "emergency", the gut is allowed to let pass more material (leaky in effect). This causes the brain to mistake good amino acid chains for bacteria and the brain forms a food allergy as part of the immune system.
The new allergy(s) causes even more stress, requiring more nutrition and there's a downward spiral. Do you now understand why the gluten free milk free diets seem to work? Those are the first foods a baby gets!
Increasing good nutrition is the only real way to stop this Leaky Gut Syndrome. It is difficult to get autistic babies and children fed with good food, but it is very important as you can see from the above.
This along with the mercury problem is the hardest to do correctly. There are many opinions on this and there are some solutions. We know that the B and C vitamins and some amino acids are needed most for stress.
I have a chemist friend who has concocted a “rub-on” sort of lotion that can provide various vitamins and amino acids, but it’s not cheap and is still out of the reach of most autism family budgets. He has developed such a regimen for getting necessary nutrition into gastric bypass patients and many such surgeons use his suppositories and lotions. I’ll have more information on my website if I can get him to sit down and start some web pages of his own.
If you can get pills into an autistic child, go with at least a 50 mg B complex daily. If not, get capsules, open them up and mix the powder into juice. You can do the same with vitamin C and even dissolve Acidophilous into yoghurt or bottled milk.
Do not use the cheap “protein” food. That’s just powdered milk and egg. Get the real mix of amino acids that has the “predigested” form. It’s more expensive, but it provides real nutrition, no matter what the condition of the gut. In my former practice, I delighted in reversing senility (a few of which had been diagnosed as Alzheimer’s) with such a diet.
Here’s what I recommend: Start with 5 capsules of Acidophilous (found in your health food store's refrigerator). Wait for two days and if gas and cramps are not too bad or gone, go up to 10 capsules. Try to take with some milk product (got to feed the troops going to war). If no serious gas or cramping occurs, go up to 20 capsules every other day for 2- 3 times, depending on the color and smell as described below. This is what I recommend for an adult, modify for a child.
Here’s the fun part. You have to monitor the color of the stool. It’ll start out pretty dark and smelly. As you progress, it will get lighter and less smelly (less yeast and more good bacteria). By the 5th or 6th dose, it should be yellowish brown, or orange brown and be much less smelly. That's the "good" look and smell.
Repeat whenever any antibiotic is taken that can get into the gut.
There is no one therapy that does it all, And, to complicate it further, like most “mental” problems”, it’s not simple to diagnose, In the younger ages, autism is easily confused with mental retardation, or brain damage.
The range of symptoms can be from simpler ADD/ADHD to very severe impairment of speech and other malfunctions, EEG Biofeedback has been shown to be very effective in greatly improving all such cases in a much shorter time than other means, In all such cases, if EEG BF improves symptoms, so does the Bate Neuroliminal Training. The human brain is amazing and tends to be self-fixing of all brain problems, if given a chance.
To many clinicians (myself included) autism is the far end of the ADD/ADHD continuum, Many of the same symptoms may occur with autistic kids as with ADD/ADHD kids and additional symptoms are probable, Again, individuals are different and there is no set of exact autism symptoms, Like ADD/ADHD, the diagnosis of autism is difficult to distinguish from ADD/ADHD with many differing symptoms common to both. The diagnostic autistism "guidelines" used by psychiatrists and psychologists are mainly for insurance purposes and can be wildly different between clinicians.
A new and very useful test has come to my attention, This test was designed to measure ongoing improvement for Autism primarily, but might also be used in serious ADD/ADHD cases. It's called the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) and it's available free at: ATEC, Clicking on this takes you off this site, so be sure to bookmark, or use the return arrow if you use it.
There's also a test developed by Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre, It's the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistim traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4, Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher, The test is not a good means for making an autism diagnosis, however and many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger's report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives.
