Autism

[Guest guest]

Dr. Ernest Pecci, Ph.D., in Northern California, has done phenomenally well

with autistic kids - by working with their diet.

Isn't that a wonderful book!? It's a great beginner's

intro to homeopathy too.

 

And it's nice to hear you seem to be having success

with your current " energy " treatments of this child,

as you outlined in your post.

You seem to be doing quite well with what you have

done so far (congrats!)

 

As you are reading the book Impossible Cure, I am

certain you know this, but for those that do not, what

Allopathic Medicine (what MD's do) defines as " Autism "

(and related disorders with medical diagnosis) is

usually indicative of a deep seated, chronic,

disharmony in the patient. And as such, it's way

beyond what any beginner should attempt to treat with

homeopathy.

 

I cannot say enough good about homeopathy, it's a

wonderful, profound, miraculous healing modality. But

I often hear it said that homeopathy it cannot harm

someone and that's just not true, especially when one

is treating a chronic complaint. Homeopathy is a tool

and in competent hands it can work miracles, but just

like any other tool, it can help or harm depending on

the the skill of the wielder.

 

I will get down off my homeopathy soapbox now ;-)

 

As to what more you might do, my training is in

Traditional (TCM, acupuncture and

herbs) and Classical Homeopathy, both of which have

their own unique diagnostic protocols that take years

to learn, and both of which would view an Allopathic

Medical diagnosis of " Autism " as being a very

deep-seated chronic situation requiring careful

management and much expertise. So not much help to

you there.

 

I bet there's something that could be helpful and

supportive in the paradigm of flower essences,

unfortunately that's not one of my modalities so

somebody else will have to weigh in on that.

 

If you have some time to spend on this, I would look

closely at the diet of the patient and then do

research to see if there are any aspects of diet that

might be helpful. Seems to me I have heard that a

diet relatively free of known allergens has been

helpful. And that would fit one TCM category of an

Autism-like presentation.

 

Seems to me I have heard that some forms of body work

have been helpful, but I have also heard that one of

the problems of Autism is sensory overload, so I would

research carefully on that before attempting any sort

of " treatment " other than your energy work.

 

I am sorry that I don't remember right now who it is,

but there's a woman on this list that seems to be

quite well educated and experienced in the standard

Allopathic treatment of Autism, perhaps she can weigh

in with some good ideas of supportive treatments.

 

And just as an aside, we all who are not MD's must

remember that we do not diagnose or treat disease (as

defined by the various medical boards) we treat or

assist individuals.

 

Hope something in here is helpful in your situation.

This is great Anna, my partner (who has two

autistic boys and babysits for others that have

autistic children) and I make vests weighed down

with flax seed and lavender. It has been found

that some weight on an autistic child helps them

stay calm and focused. The lavender also helps

them stay calm too. We are starting to

incorporate some rosemary into the bags too.

 

Oh yes, this is a nice side part of our business

because with her contacts in the local school

system we are able to sell these to the school

district as well as individual parents.

 

The prognosis so far with all the ppl using them

say they like the ones we make more than the ones

with actual weights in them because the flax

seed, lavender flowers and rosemary do not bruise

the child as the weights do.

 

My partner is the person who does all the sewing

and she just buys regular children and teen size

vest patterns and makes the vests. To put in the

flax seed, she makes two and sews them together

and then separates it into pockets along the hem,

mid way and on top of the shoulders. I make

muslin bags filled with the mixture according to

her dimensions and since the areas for them are

velcro'd shut she just adds the right bags when

she sells the product.

 

So there is another idea for you. Not homeopathy

or essential oils but so far seems to be working.

I am not a scientist, hehe, but we have 3

classrooms so far and some students are using the

bags and some are not. The teachers are seeing

improvement in those that are using them.

Usually they are the worse case scenarios though.

 

I will tell my partner about that book so she can

get it and read it. She is very knowledgeable

about the subject. Her boys are 13 and 11. It

was a 1 in 10, 000 chance that her third child

would have it too but they were lucky and their

daughter does not have it.

 

 

Please keep us posted as to what you discover as

you work with this child. I for one am very

interested in this topic.

Hi Anna,

 

I took a Nutrition class a few years ago and my teacher stated that autism can

be " caused/triggered " by allergies to gluten, and that if you catch this allergy

early enough, you can greatly reduce the symptoms of autism. She said that she

treats a patient who is now (well, then) 8-years-old and has autistic

tendencies. The allergy was caught early enough so that the girl is not

outwardly autistic. She stays completely off wheat, but occasionally will have

cake at a party and will soon after start to exhibit autistic symptoms, but then

they pass after a few hours. So the cake has to be really good to make it worth

the reaction.

 

I never met the girl so I can't tell you if this story is accurate, but I can

tell you that my teacher felt very strongly about people's allergic reactions to

gluten. She also spoke a lot about celiac disease.

 

If you should explore this possibility and find it helpful (or not), I'd be

really interested to know.

 

Cheers,

I, too, have been reading many many articles on how autism can be caused by

an allergy to gluten or other common things like corn. There is a great book

called the No Grain Diet by Dr. Joseph Mercola that tells how to get rid of

all grains in your diet, and then, after your system is cleared for a

certain length of time, some people can start slowly adding back certain

grains. You will know instantly if these grains effect you, and then you can

stay away from them, but possibly add others back. Like, my friend suffered

from migraines so much that she would actually go blind in one eye and then

she even started loosing memory of time!! Nothing the doctors gave her

helped. One doctor finally suggested a food allergy, so she went to an

allergist and found that she was allergic to gluten, corn, and something

else. Dairy if I remember right. She cut these out of her life and the

migraines stopped. Finally, after being free of these things (she has to be

SO careful, as corn syrup is hidden in so many foods) for almost 2 years,

her husband and daughter ordered a pizza to their home. She watched them eat

it, and was just longing for a bite. She figured she had been " clean " for

over a year so how could just one slice hurt. She ate it and she said it

tasted sooooo good. Then, within a half hour, she was in the bathroom

throwing up for over 2 hours! She hasn't touched grain or corn again, and

that was over 5 years ago. So, some people's system, once cleared, can go

back to the occasional little bit of grain, and others cannot. I hope you

find something that helps.

Thank you Al for talking to me. Also, appreciate the feedback from

other members. It's so nice to see lot of caring folks on this

newsgroup.

 

Here's some background:

 

- My son is 5 yrs old. Had a regression at 2.2 with a flu shot. Lost

his language and began lot of self stimulatory behaviors. Also,

suffered from severe constipation (no stool for 5-6 days, picky

eater - very limited diet, increased asthma, etc. )

- First, we tried the Gluten & Casein Free diet. It didn't help. Now

we are on organic food, no restriction otherwise.

- We have been doing ABA for 1.5 yrs and has definitely helped in

terms of following directions, etc.

- We dabbled with Biomedical intervention (DAN) and didn't persist

with it as the medications seemed extreme and worried what other

damage they might do.

- We started Homeopathy about 6 months ago - No constipation anymore,

not picky eater anymore, definitely more connected and detoxing.

- His asthma is a BIG problem. He doesn't know how to blow his nose

and that leads to stuffiness and eventually cough and wheezing.

- Our pediatrician is a wholistic doctor and has been giving us

Chinese medicines for cold, etc and we are having some success in

slowing down stuffiness.

- I am the dad and am really interested in exploring TCM. As Al

mentioned, making him healthy would be a great start. I will

definitely see Al soon and in the meantime if people have

ideas/suggestions, I am all open.

 

BTW, We are also looking at Sequential Homeopathy....Appreciate any

feedback

 

Thanks,

Well, if there is a serious dampness in the gut, the first thing I

would go for is a top-of-the-line probiotic supplement such as Dr.

Ohhira's Professional (not the original); or LB17 (Osumex). I am not

selling any of these products or in any way connected with these

companies. A relative of mine has tried the latter product who has

" mental " issues and the result was a normalization of these challenges.

Howdy. Another thought I had about autism: If the child was

vaccinated a few years ago, mercury preservative would probably have

been in the vaccine. I hope I don't have to tell anybody here what a

deadly poison that is.

 

Okay, you may ask why every child who is vaccinated doesn't develop

strange mental/neurological conditions such as autism, just for

starters. I would suggest that the children who don't immediately go

downhill after injections simply are better constituted to start with,

a matter that A. Stone kind of touched on, indirectly.

 

Some say (I don't know their qualifications) that harmful yeasts

harboured (in excess) in the intestines have a sort of symbiotic

relationship with mercury. That is to say, the body attempts to

protect itself from the poisonous mercury by surrounding it with the

yeast; and mercury is known to be an anti-fungal. A kind of stable

situation, in a negative sense.

 

So, when people with severe intestinal dysbiosis take medicine or

probiotics to clear up the yeasts, the body is, temporarily, more

exposed to the mercury, which in turn would exacerbate its toxic

effects on the brain.

 

Just passing it along. I do think in any case that these ideas need

to be examined and not dismissed out of hand.

 

P.S. Since mercury & selenium are, I am told, antagonists, perhaps a

child having low levels of that mineral may be more at risk of

suffering mercury poisoning.

 

Hope that this might be helpful.

Detoxing with Vitamins and Mineral supplements, strict diet and a programme

with an efficient Educational Kinesiologist is the way I'd go - you would

need to google EK to see if there is anyone in your area. Oh and no more

vaccinations - please.

 

Best,

I have heard that Znatural (zeolite) can assist with Autism and other related conditions, ADHD, Aspergers etc, you need to ensure you get the original patented formula from the spirit of sunshine group though as there are other makes which will not work as well. xKindest Regards Dawn AltoftMargaretta House

Autism, Diet and Supplements

By Donia Alawi, health teacher and nutritionist

 

I read a book when I was 18 years old titled " Son

Rise " . It was about a family's struggle to heal their

6 year old son from autism. It was later made into a

movie for television. I was so moved by the story that

this disorder has been of a special interest to me and

has a soft place in my heart. Recently, I got a

wonderful message about how our products have helped a

young boy. This following message just made my day:

 

" I am very proud to say my son Adam Jones is recipient

of the Temple Grandin Award. This is a NATIONAL award

recognizing his achievements in the category of

Autism. He is 4 years old, and was formally diagnosed

with Autism at the Age of 2. Guess what guys???? He

has been eating organic wild blue-green algae for the past year and he

LOVES it!!!...Joni Jones " .

 

I've had requests in the past from many parents to

share the information I have learned about autism and

alternative methods. Following is a summary of that

information.

 

Some of the contributing causes of autism:

 

Sidney Baker, M.D., is well known in the field of

clinical studies for children with autism and related

disorders. According to his research, autistic

children tend to exhibit central nervous system

abnormalities and immune system weaknesses because of

metabolic disturbances. For example, through urine

tests they show low levels of certain amino acids

(tryptophan) and a disturbance of the methionine

metabolism. Another contributing factor to autism can

be digestive malfunction and bowel flora imbalance (p.

139).

 

In general, clinical studies have found autistic

children to have difficulty removing toxins from their

bodies, making it more likely than for normal

children, that toxic metals can accumulate in their

bodies. A hair mineral analysis can be useful for

identifying toxic metal overload. Twenty-four hour

urinary mineral profiles and whole blood mineral

profiles, if they can be obtained, in combination with

hair mineral analysis provide one of the most thorough

pictures of nutritional status (Baker, p. 139).

 

Food-related disorders, such as poor digestion and

assimilation and food allergies or intolerances, can

also be contributing factors in autism. Food

allergies, although certainly not a cause of autism,

can cause certain symptoms such as pathological growth

of yeast, fungi, and/or bacteria in the bowel

contributing to behavior problems (Baker, p.139).

 

Dr. Baker also believes from his clinical studies that

deficiency of Vitamin B6 and magnesium may be

contributors to autism. Vitamin B6 and magnesium are

needed by every cell in the body to stay alive (p.

139).

 

Diet and autism:

 

A healthy diet is essential for autistic children.

First and foremost, foods containing sugar, phosphates

and other additives should be avoided totally. These

substances have been shown to interfere with proper

brain function. Foods such as wheat, corn, milk, eggs

and chocolate must be avoided because of the

possibility of food intolerances and allergies as

contributors of autism. Dr. Rimland documented

hundreds of children whose behavior greatly improved

when cow's milk, wheat, eggs or other common foods are

removed from the diet (p. 118).

 

A healthy diet is based on whole foods organically

grown. Fruits, vegetables, fresh juices, fresh soups,

brown or basmati rice plus yams and oily fish are good

sources of nutrition that can add to children's bodies

whatever they're missing in complex carbs, amino

acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.

 

Supplements and Autism:

 

Whole food supplements are essential to strengthen the immune system

and give the autistic child's body needed concentrated nutrients.

Following is a list of recommended whole food supplements.

 

To help with digestion and assimilation:

 

• Acidophilus (http://tinyurl.com/24ajq ) and bifidus

(http://tinyurl.com/26rur ) – should be micro-blended with a whole

food like organic wild blue-green algae to help feed the good bacteria

(probiotics).

 

• Plant based enzymes – (http://tinyurl.com/mkwo ) should be

micro-blended with a whole food like blue green algae – because the

algae supplies minerals – enzymes don't work without minerals. (Use

them with cooked foods to properly digest meals and in between meals

to assist clearing /cleaning of the lymphatic system).

 

To help with nourishing the body:

 

• Organic Wild-crafted blue green algae (http://tinyurl.com/g1iz and

http://tinyurl.com/iw4k ) - (high in the Vitamin B-complex plus

necessary essential amino acids and fatty acids).

 

To help reduce oxidative stress:

 

• Organically grown wheat grass powder (http://tinyurl.com/6j9t5 ).

 

• Coenzyme Q10 (http://tinyurl.com/f1f7 ) micro-blended with organic

flax oil (better emulsified with the flax oil).

 

• Oraganic Wheat sprouts (http://tinyurl.com/6vxtu ) micro-blended

with organic wild blue green algae and red algae - a great antioxidant

supplement that supplies the antioxidant vitamins from FOOD - not from

isolated/synthetic substances.

 

According to Dr. Rimland, autism is a biological

disorder, not an emotional disorder (Gazella, p. 29).

Many medical doctors such as Dr. Rimland and Dr.

Baker, believe that a nutritional approach may help

this biological disorder and allow autistic children

to communicate and cope more normally.

A year ago, I attended the annual conference of the Weston A. Price

Foundation in Washington D.C. They had a speaker there by the name of

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. She is a Russian Dr. who practices in

the U.K. She has a book called Gut and Psychology Syndrome. It is

about using a special diet similar to SCD and probiotics to cure the

autism spectrum disorder. Her own son was diagnosed with autism and

was at the time, on a school field trip out of the country. She said

he didn't even have to follow the diet all of the time anymore! I

would recommend looking into it.

 

Best of luck!

Dear Ikku Iqbal,

A Loving Atma Namaste!

 

The protocol for healing Autism is given in message 1002 and updated in message

2950 in the PHQandA message archive. A copy of said

message is enclosed for your easy reference.

 

MEDICAL INFORMATION: AUTISM

 

" Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during

the first three years of life. The result of a neurological disorder that

affects the functioning of the brain, autism and its associated behaviors

have been estimated to occur in as many as 1 in 500 individuals (Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention 1997). Autism is four times more

prevalent in boys than girls and knows no racial, ethnic, or social

boundaries. Family income, lifestyle, and educational levels do not affect

the chance of autism's occurrence.

Autism impacts the normal development of the brain in the areas of social

interaction and communication skills. Children and adults with autism

typically have difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, social

interactions, and leisure or play activities. The disorder makes it hard

for them to communicate with others and relate to the outside world. In

some cases, aggressive and/or self-injurious behavior may be present.

Persons with autism may exhibit repeated body movements (hand flapping,

rocking), unusual responses to people or attachments to objects and

resistance to changes in routines. Individuals may also experience

sensitivities in the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and

taste. Its prevalence rate makes autism one of the most common

developmental disabilities. Yet most of the public, including many

professionals in the medical, educational, and vocational fields, are still

unaware of how autism affects people and how they can effectively work with

individuals with autism.

 

Autism is a spectrum disorder. In other words, the symptoms and

characteristics of autism can present themselves in a wide variety of

combinations, from mild to severe. Although autism is defined by a certain

set of behaviors, children and adults can exhibit any combination of the

behaviors in any degree of severity. Two children, both with the same

diagnosis, can act very differently from one another and have varying

skills. Therefore, there is no standard " type " or " typical " person with

autism. Parents may hear different terms used to describe children within

this spectrum, such as: autistic-like, autistic tendencies, autism

spectrum, high-functioning or low-functioning autism, more-able or

less-able. More important to understand is, whatever the diagnosis,

children can learn and function productively and show gains from

appropriate education and treatment. The Autism Society of America

provides information to serve the needs of all individuals within the spectrum.

 

What Causes Autism?

Researchers from all over the world are devoting considerable time and

energy into finding the answer to this critical question. Medical

researchers are exploring different explanations for the various forms of

autism. Although a single specific cause of autism is not known, current

research links autism to biological or neurological differences in the

brain. In many families there appears to be a pattern of autism or related

disabilities— which suggests there is a genetic basis to the

disorder—although at this time no gene has been directly linked to autism.

The genetic basis is believed by researchers to be highly complex, probably

involving several genes in combination.

Several outdated theories about the cause of autism have been proven to be

false. Autism is not a mental illness. Children with autism are not unruly

kids who choose not to behave. Autism is not caused by bad parenting.

Furthermore, no known psychological factors in the development of the child

have been shown to cause autism.

 

A brief observation in a single setting cannot present a true picture of an

individual's abilities and behaviors. Parental (and other caregivers')

input and developmental history are very important components of making an

accurate diagnosis. At first glance, some persons with autism may appear to

have mental retardation, a behavior disorder, problems with hearing, or

even odd and eccentric behavior. To complicate matters further, these

conditions can co-occur with autism. However, it is important to

distinguish autism from other conditions, since an accurate diagnosis and

early identification can provide the basis for building an appropriate and

effective educational and treatment program. Sometimes professionals who

are not knowledgeable about the needs and opportunities for early

intervention in autism do not offer an autism diagnosis even if it is

appropriate. This hesitation may be due to a misguided wish to spare the

family. Unfortunately, this too can lead to failure to obtain appropriate

services for the child.

 

What are People with Autism Like?

Children within the pervasive developmental disorder spectrum often appear

relatively normal in their development until the age of 24-30 months, when

parents may notice delays in language, play or social interaction. Any of

the following delays, by themselves, would not result in a diagnosis of a

pervasive developmental disorder. Autism is a combination of several

developmental challenges.

 

The following areas are among those that may be affected by autism:

1. Communication - language develops slowly or not at all; uses words

without attaching the usual meaning to them; communicates with gestures

instead of words; short attention span.

2. Social Interaction - spends time alone rather than with others; shows

little interest in making friends; less responsive to social cues such as

eye contact or smiles.

3. Sensory Impairment - may have sensitivities in the areas of sight,

hearing, touch, smell, and taste to a greater or lesser degree.

4. Play - lack of spontaneous or imaginative play; does not imitate others'

actions; does not initiate pretend games.

5. Behaviors - may be overactive or very passive; throws tantrums for no

apparent reason; perseverates (shows an obsessive interest in a single

item, idea, activity or person); apparent lack of common sense; may show

aggression to others or self; often has difficulty with changes in routine.

 

Every person with autism is an individual, and like all individuals, has a

unique personality and combination of characteristics. There are great

differences among people with autism. Some individuals mildly affected may

exhibit only slight delays in language and greater challenges with social

interactions. The person may have difficulty initiating and/or maintaining

a conversation, or keeping a conversation going. Communication is often

described as talking at others (for example, monologue on a favorite

subject that continues despite attempts of others to interject comments).

People with autism process and respond to information in unique ways.

Educators and other service providers must consider the unique pattern of

learning strengths and difficulties in the individual with autism when

assessing learning and behavior to ensure effective intervention.

Individuals with autism can learn when information about their unique

styles of receiving and expressing information is addressed and implemented

in their programs. The abilities of an individual with autism may fluctuate

from day to day due to difficulties in concentration, processing, or

anxiety. The child may show evidence of learning one day, but not the next.

Changes in external stimuli and anxiety can affect learning. They may have

average or above average verbal, memory or spatial skills but find it

difficult to be imaginative or join in activities with others. Individuals

with more severe challenges may require intensive support to manage the

basic tasks and needs of living day to day.

 

Contrary to popular understanding, many children and adults with autism may

make eye contact, show affection, smile and laugh, and demonstrate a

variety of other emotions, although in varying degrees. Like other

children, they respond to their environment in both positive and negative

ways. Autism may affect their range of responses and make it more difficult

to control how their bodies and minds react. Sometimes visual, motor,

and/or processing problems make it difficult to maintain eye contact with

others. Some individuals with autism use peripheral vision rather than

looking directly at others. Sometimes the touch or closeness of others may

be painful to a person with autism, resulting in withdrawal even from

family members. Anxiety, fear and confusion may result from being unable to

" make sense " of the world in a routine way. With appropriate treatment,

some behaviors associated with autism may change or diminish over time. The

communication and social deficits continue in some form throughout life,

but difficulties in other areas may fade or change with age, education, or

level of stress. Often, the person begins to use skills in natural

situations and to participate in a broader range of interests and

activities. Many individuals with autism enjoy their lives and contribute

to their community in a meaningful way. People with autism can learn to

compensate for and cope with their disability, often quite well.

 

While no one can predict the future, it is known that some adults with

autism live and work independently in the community (drive a car, earn a

college degree, get married); some may be fairly independent in the

community and only need some support for daily pressures; while others

depend on much support from family and professionals. Adults with autism

can benefit from vocational training to provide them with the skills needed

for obtaining jobs, in addition to social and recreational programs. Adults

with autism may live in a variety of residential settings, ranging from an

independent home or apartment to group homes, supervised apartment

settings, living with other family members or more structured residential

care. An increasing number of support groups for adults with autism are

emerging around the country. Many self-advocates are forming networks to

share information, support each other, and speak for themselves in the

public arena. More frequently, people with autism are attending and/or

speaking at conferences and workshops on autism. Individuals with autism

are providing valuable insight into the challenges of this disability by

publishing articles and books and appearing in television specials about

themselves and their disabilities.

 

Is There a Cure?

Understanding of autism has grown tremendously since it was first described

by Dr. Leo Kanner in 1943. In the medical sense, there is no cure for the

differences in the brain which result in autism. However, better

understanding of the disorder has led to the development of better coping

mechanisms and strategies for the various manifestations of the disability.

Some of these symptoms may lessen as the child ages; others may disappear

altogether. With appropriate intervention, many of the associated behaviors

can be positively changed, even to the point in some cases, that the child

or adult may appear to the untrained person to no longer have autism. The

majority of children and adults will, however, continue to exhibit some

manifestations of autism to some degree throughout their entire lives.
