Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hi, Is there any treatment available for Autism and related disabilities? Autism is lifelong developmental disability that occurs by itself or in association with other disorders that affect the function of the brain, and characterized by severely impaired social interaction and communication skills and restrictive or repetitive movements, interests, and behaviors. This child was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. She is on lots of vitamins and mineral supplements. Parents follow gluten(wheat) and casein (dairy) free diet. The child also gets treatment for yeast, the level of which increases every now and then. She has a weak immune system and is allergic to pretty much everything. Doctors suggest removal of heavy metals from the child's body using DMSA, DMPS (available methods of chelation) etc. Balancing these vitamins and minerals needs lots of professional monitoring and is a very expensive process. There are side effects to some of the treatments doctors suggest. Some of the natural chelators like `glutathione' are extracted from plants. I would like to find out if there are any treatments available in `ayurveda' for this. A feed back will be really appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
