Autism Therapies, and Autism Prevention

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

There are hundreds or maybe thousands of new products on the market to

help autism patients. But, since there's no money in it, there's been

very little or no attention given to PREVENTING autism.

 

Here's a very simple therapy that does just that:

 

At the start of pregnancy (or even before), start taking a minimum of

4000 mg (4 grams) of vitamin C, split into 2 grams with breakfast and 2

grams with dinner. (I get 1 gram tabs at Costco pretty cheap.)

 

At lunch take a large megavitamin such as Solgar's VM-75 or an equal

with good minerals as well as extra vitamins. BTW, the so-called

" pre-natal " vitamins " prescribed " for pregnant women are actually more

expensive and less effective than " standard " equivalents. VM-75 is much

better IMO.

 

Since vitamin C in these amounts acts as a mineral chelator, it will

gradually take out any mercury, lead, and other toxic heavy metals that

cause autism. Just eating tuna fish (a staple for pregnant women it

seems) gets mercury into the body. The increasing use of coal in power

plants also puts mercury into the air and soil. This mercury added to

that in vaccines is the CAUSE of autism in general.

 

If this toxicity is removed over the length of the pregnancy, the liver

will be better able to filter out new mercury, and autism should go down

to the 1 case in 10,000 of not so long ago.

 

Do you know any pregnant woman? If so, pass this on. It's cheap

insurance, and as an added benefit, the woman won't get colds and flus

while carrying the baby.

The following is the article I was writing when I suddenly realized that

it is very simple to prevent autism, and wrote the above. Sometimes the

simple ideas are the last to be found to work. I think that the above

would have been found by Linus Pauling or Carl Pfeiffer had the autism

" epidemic " occurred during their lives.

 

Please pass this on to anyone you know with autism in the family. It is

very long and you can also find it at www.drbate.com/Articles/Integrated

INTEGRATED 4 PART THERAPY FOR AUTISM

 

There seem to be hundreds of therapies for autism on the market today

and " on the market " seems to be the reason -- money.

 

However, there is no real integration of any of these therapies and

little information for the " poor " parents with an autistic child (and

" poor " is often correct as autism is a " bankrupting disease " ).

 

There are four different basic problems with four different therapies

needed to solve them and work towards any cure or improvements. These are:

 

Mercury and other heavy metal toxins

 

Allergies and food sensitivities

 

Digestive (gut) problems

 

Inadequate nutrition

 

 

Dealing with Heavy Metal toxicity.

 

This is the major problem and few doctors really understand it.

Measuring heavy metal, particularly in an autistic infant or child is no

simple matter. Few MDs are aware that the autistic patients are ALWAYS

short in any chelating material in the blood, such as Vitamin C, or

glutathione. (At every autism conference, there are several booths,

each extolling a different way to get expensive glutathione into an

autistic child. Vitamin C is cheaper and better.)

 

The doctor takes blood or urine sample, and runs a mineral assay,

comparing the heavy metals to the nutritional minerals in the blood

stream. They believe that this is somewhat accurate, BUT IT'S NOT!

 

Understand that the function of the liver is to filter these toxic

minerals out of the blood so that they cannot get to the brain where

they can actually kill brain cells. Once the toxins are filtered into

the liver, some are gradually shifted to other safe storage areas of the

body. However, with a large load of mercury, such as multiple vaccines,

added to what's already in the liver, the liver may not be able to

handle it all and brain cells are damaged or killed. (Check the

mother's mercury level as well.)

 

The liver is under strict instructions NEVER to release these toxins

until and unless some chelation material is present in the bloodstream.

A chelating material combines with the heavy metal, and converts it to a

harmless chemical that is water soluble, and it can be filtered out via

the kidneys and urine pathway.

 

So, if blood is measured, what is actually measured is only what the

liver can release (if a chelate is present, a short time after the

chelate is sensed). Blood then may contain at that time and for some

time after, a reasonable amount of the toxin. Urine takes this similar

amount out of the body after it has been filtered out by the kidneys.

(Adults may be measured more accurately by hair analysis.)

So, if you followed the above, you can see that with an autistic child

it is more than likely any measurement of mercury or lead will show a

false negative -- that is actually below toxicity.

 

How can you get a more accurate or at least NOT a false negative

reading? Pre-load your child with Vitamin C. I recommend vitamin C for

several reasons: It's cheap; it's antiviral and antibacterial; and the

only bad side effect is diarrhea, even for infants.

 

Since vitamin C only lasts four hours, I would load up to 1 gram

(1000mg) every four hours for every 50 pounds of child. If, or when,

the child gets diarrhea, lower that amount until just below the point

where diarrhea starts. (That's called " bowel tolerance " ).

 

If the patient shows toxic for heavy metal, start chelating and continue

until tests show a level way below toxic. This may take up to a year or

more. Remember that this is very slow and safe, and it takes a long

time to get all of it out of storage and released into the blood. I've

seen continued high heavy metal toxicity 6 months or a year after

starting this chelation.

 

There are many different chelators on the market and some of them are

advertised as fast. I'm not convinced that these really are that fast,

or they just get the toxin out of the liver, and leave it in the stored

fatty areas. I still recommend vitamin C as the cheapest and best

chelator for the reasons above. For chelation purposes, I used 10 grams

per day in split doses for adults, and modified that for children, often

using bowel tolerance as a measure.

 

If every pregnant mother were tested for toxic minerals at start of

pregnancy and started chelation if toxic, it could easily end this

autism " epidemic " . I believe that if pregnant women took 4 grams of

vitamin C and a good multi vitamin all thru pregnancy, they would have

healthy babies!

 

Here's some good news -- using vitamin C this way, your child or even

infant will NOT get colds or flu while on these amounts of vitamin C.

Nor would pregnant women.

 

 

Allergies & Sensitivities

 

Every child with ADD to Autism has more allergies than the average kids,

and they develop more than the average amount of food and chemical

sensitivities due to " Leaky Gut Syndrome " .

 

Here's the downward spiral progression. It starts with huge stress.

Stress is additive, so start with mercury (leading cause of autism

today), add in a genetic tendency towards allergies, and " normal " living

stress. This additive amount requires extra vitamins and amino acids

just to handle the effects.

 

However, the autistic infant or child is a very picky and difficult

eater and in our culture today, malnutrition is a given for most

children. Too often, the only food wanted by an autistic child is not

what they need for. Fast food is not good nutrition!

 

In order to get more needed nutrition, the brain tells the gut to open

up a bit and let more amino acids thru to the bloodstream. This allows

longer strings of amino acids (peptides) to enter the blood.

Some of these peptide strings are so long that the brain thinks that

they might be dangerous bacteria, so it develops " sensitivity " to

whatever caused that long string to get in. This is called " Leaky Gut

Syndrome " . Since some of the first foods fed to infants are milk and

bread, it's easy to see why the GFCF (Gluten Free Casein Free) diet

helps so many. The Leaky Gut Syndrome was responsible!

 

Also see that these new allergies add more stress to the mix, and the

spiral continues downward?

 

Allergy testing and cure is very expensive and difficult to get correct

at best. In 2000, I first proposed the theory " Raising the SMR

brainwave somehow changes the brain affect from allergens " . This theory

is the only viable theory today as to how EEG Biofeedback (NFB) and

Neuroliminal Training (NT) work, and there are many stories that confirm

this theory

 

My favorite story concerns twin boys about 9 yrs old. The mother was

concerned about using NT as the boys slept in the same room. I assured

her that only good was possible, and about 2 months later she reported

that the one was cured of ADHD and the other no longer had ragweed hay

fever!

 

Personally, my wife and I have been using one or another NT CD. as I

have developed and improved them, for 5 years. I no longer suffer from

Rheumatoid Arthritis (Peanuts), nor neuralgia (Soy), nor Hay Fever

(Ragweed) and overweight (wheat). My wife had a headache within a

minute or less of eating any form of corn. She now eats corn on the cob

and popcorn without a problem. At 64, she lost enough weight to again

wear bikinis, (and she can and does).

 

Most people continue to use the NT CD's long after the particular

problem has been solved, and I have to believe that the longer it's

used, the more allergies are solved. That's certainly been the case for us.

 

For this part of the therapy, of course I recommend the Autism CD

package. EEG biofeedback, or Neurofeedback (as it's often called now)

will also work, but it's so expensive as to be prohibitive for autism

with over 200 visits to a clinic required. Compare that to $147 total

cost for NT.

 

 

Digestive (gut) problems

 

First realize that your internal body and your digestive system (gut)

are completely separate, and must be so to work as designed. The gut

has bacteria and toxins that are poisonous to the internal body.

Compare the two systems to a doughnut. The gut is the hole, and not

really a part of the body, but a doughnut isn't really a doughnut

without a hole.

 

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?

 

Antibiotics can be good things, but they are not all good. Every time

anyone takes any internal antibacterial pill or capsule, they should

start an Acidophilous regime after they stop the antibiotic.

 

Here's what I recommend: Start with 5 capsules of Acidophilous (found

in your health food store in the 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.

 

Repeat whenever any antibiotic is taken that can get into the gut.

(Shots and external don't count.)

 

Inadequate Nutrition

 

This along with the mercury problem is the hardest to do correctly.

There are many opinions on this, and there are beginning to be some

solutions. We know that the B and C vitamins and some amino acids are

needed most.

 

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 autistic 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.

 

The above is the first step toward sufficient nutrition to stop " Leaky

Gut Syndrome " , which results in even more allergy stress, requiring even

more good nutrition.

 

If you do all the above steps together, I guarantee that you will see

amazing progress. I guarantee " noticeable improvement " just from my NT

Autism CD package within 8 weeks, or your money back. This integrated

therapy will make for even more progress, and make it possible for some

behavior therapy towards normalcy to really work.
