Alternate Therapies for Autism (and All Mental Problems)

This article is designed to help you do research finding help and

solutions to improve autism (and other mental problems.) You can use

this reference article to search further on many and various therapies

that have helped others. This is a very confusing subject, with lots of

" expensive products " and lots of Big Pharma lies and lots of MD's who

don't know as much as they should. Too much money is involved, and

finding inexpensive " at home " ways to normalize an autistic child or

solve other mental symptoms isn't as simple as it should be. This

article tells you how and where to research information. It

basically follows orthomolecular medical theory.

There are many different therapies that have helped many people with

" mental problems " , ranging from ADD/ADHD/Autism to depression, and even

schizophrenia. The best up to recently has been Neurofeedback/EEG

biofeedback. That therapy has worked to solve mental problems for

nearly 50

years. Used with HEG (brain oxygen therapy), it has slowly done

wonders. The problem is that it is horribly expensive, costing so much

that only very wealthy families can afford it for even ADD/ADHD. 

(average cost for ADD/ADHD is $5000 in a NFB clinic.  Compare to $147

for NT (below).

 

Hyperbaric Oxygen Immersion Tanks have also improved autism symptoms, but

this therapy is so expensive that HEG biofeedback replaced it as less

expensive some years ago. Both therapies are expensive, and generally

only for the wealthy.

 

The newest and certainly the least expensive " brain training " method is the Neuroliminal Training (NT) system .

This has now been shown to be an excellent and inexpensive alternate

to both the very expensive Neurofeedback (NFB) training, and Hyperbaric

Oxygen therapy. Results are very similar to the combination of those

two therapies. For a fraction of the cost of those, it offers an

affordable and much better alternative to those and, of course, to

Ritalin and other dangerous drugs. Both NFB/EEG and NT work to

eliminate allergen affects causing mental problems of all types. For

more info: http://drbate.com

 

Allergies and allergy stress are always part of all " brain problems " ,

There's a simple and free (except for some detective work) way to detect

them. Even if you use the NT or NFB Training, this is a good idea!

For the ADD to Autism continuum (as well as depression and

schizophrenia), there is a good possibility that mercury or other toxic

minerals may be the real underlying problem. These mineral toxins MUST

be gotten out of the body. There are various old and new methods of

doing this:

     a. Vitamin C in large doses: This has two advantages;

it's relatively cheap, and it's good for overall health. In my former

practice, I used it with excellent success in many schizophrenia cases.

In general, it is very safe, unless the patient has an allergy to corn

(not that unusual). For smaller children, I would recommend 1 gram

(1000 mg) at each meal per 40 pounds per child. Overdosing only causes

diarrhea, and it might be necessary to work up to this amount if such

occurs. The only form of Vitamin C that takes out toxic minerals is

ascorbic acid NOT any ascorBATE forms. Read labels!

     b. Injecting chelating chemical: A therapy where a

chelating drug (EDTA) is injected into a vein for an hour or so in a

clinic office. This is also quite expensive. Not recommended.

     c. Zeolite in liquid form: A newer method taken by

mouth. This is actually a form of lava rock that is very porous, and

this porosity attracts heavy metals (mercury, lead, copper, etc) binds

to such, and carries it out via the urine/kidney pathway. You can get

more details from www.Zortho.com. (If you use " Dr Bate " on the opening

page, you'll get a discount.)

..

     d. Glutathione Supplements: There are several chemical

companies that sell glutathione products at a high price. Glutathione is

a natural combination of amino acids which is manufactured in the body

of normal humans, but in autism and other cases, the mercury which

causes brain damage also " cripples " the glutathione manufacture, so it

cannot remove the mercury. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant with

several other interesting features:

          - It's a major part of the immune system often overlooked by scientists.

          - Glutathione detoxifies the body by taking poisons, including

mercury and other toxic minerals out. (Similar to chelation, but most

other toxins as well as minerals.)

          - It's not absorbed well when taken as a direct supplement.

This is important as there are many supplements that contain glutathione

that are not generally effective.

          - Low levels of glutathione are found in all autistic

children, as well as many other sick or toxic persons. These low levels

do not allow excretion well. This explains why hair, blood, and urine

tests of mercury (and other minerals) do not show accurately what is

stored in the body.

          - Again not cheap, but this seems to be worth the price if you

can afford it. For more details email at  max4metals@.... Prices are coming down.

There's

a new therapy (to me) that many people swear definitely helps.  It has

to do with alkalizing the water you drink.  The theory is that this

lowers " inflammation " in the body.  It is relatively expensive, but in

testing it has shown promise.  Again, email Cavanaugh at max4metals@...

Most

autistic infants and small kids are very " picky " , and simply won't eat

what they need in nutrition - thus developing " Leaky Gut Syndrome " . I

have a chemist friend ( Cafarelli) 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 many autistic budgets.

He has developed such a regimen for getting necessary nutrition into

gastric bypass patients, and many surgeons use his suppositories and

lotions.  If you need his products

or want more information, contact him by email at

" Dcafarellicomcast (DOT) net " .

There's a therapy called VibroAcoustic Therapy (VAT) that has had good

success in Europe with ADD-Autism as well. This is low frequency full body

vibrations at different frequencies, and the basic idea is to lose

stress, which works for all disease. It clears the mind and enables

effective connectivity to the subconscious. It's sort of an inner body

massage that is important for cell metabolism. It is not cheap, but

good if you can afford it This would be a good complimentary therapy to

Neuroliminal Training as both lower stress, and VAT works fairly fast,

while NT is slower. I learned about it first hand from Avigail Berg-Panitz.@.... She practices in the North Palm Beach FL area.

 

There's a company that advocates a special " Body Ecology Diet " , This

has had good success with autism and virtually all other health issues.

It includes many products designed to effectively make the human body

work better and more efficiently. It includes some very good probiotics

as well as others that help get rid of yeast overgrowth & the

" Leaky Gut Syndrome " . Again, not cheap, but worth it, if it is

affordable for your family. For more information: http://www.bodyecology.com

 

What do digestive enzymes have to do with ADD/ADHD and autism? A

" leaky " gut syndrome " produces more allergy/sensitivity, and enzymes

with meals break down the food better lessening the need for the " leaky

gut " . This has helped many ADD/ADHD as well as autistic persons.

     

a. There is a bulletin board sponsored by Kirkman

Labs that has a forum on special digestive enzymes. Join at: enzymesandautism-subscribe@

yahoogroups.com.

     

b. Another company that has an excellent line of

enzymes is New Beginnings. In addition to the enzymes, they have a lot

of Gluten/Casein Free Nutritional Supplements, and a " purified source "

of cholesterol (see below). Info and catalogs at http://nbnus.com

 

At an Orlando conference, I also learned that many autistics have low

cholesterol, and supplementing with two egg yolks a day may improve many

symptoms. This is certainly easy and cheap to try. If the person has

an allergy to eggs (not uncommon) then a " purified " cholesterol may be

obtained from the New Beginnings supplier above that is non allergenic.

 

For autistic (and ADD/ADHD) children, there's a lot of evidence that a

gluten free and dairy free diet can help considerably. Google gfcf for

more info. (The Caveman Diet above includes this and also cuts out many more of the

commonly allergenic foods. Try it for a week or so, then switch to

gfcf.)

 

The latest research also shows that supplementing with

fish oil can dramatically improve the ADD-Autism set of problems. There

have been many " phony " fish oil capsules on he market, and

supplementing with Krill oil is now the recommended supplement. This

also may be obtained from Zortho.com (see above).

 

There's a drug therapy called LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone).

While it is a drug, it seems that in low doses, it can significantly

decrease many disease problems (symptoms) in autism, HIV/Aids, cancers,

etc. For more information http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.

org Some good

results for autistics have been reported.

 

Another new nutritional " therapy " consists of supplemental

glyconutrients. A company called Mannotech is marketing these by an MLM

(which I hate), and they apparently are helping with some ADD-Autism

symptoms. For more details on glyconutrients - a new found essential

nutrient - check out both Mannotech and glyconutrients by googling them.

 

There's also a therapy technique called EFT (Emotional Freedom

Technique) that has also shown some good results with ADD/ADHD,

depression, etc. This was put together by Craig, and his website

containing lots of free and almost free information may be found at http://www.emofree.com

 

Some have had good results with NAET (Nambudripad Allergy Elimination

Technique). However, results are mixed, and Dr Nambudripad has been

unhappy with many practitioners who do not follow her technique

carefully. There is further information at http://www.naet.com/

subscribers/index_ns.html

 

There's a system similar to NAET called Bioset. There's a book " Food

Allergy Cure " by Dr. Ellen Cutler, which explains using Bioset to remove

allergies. This can also be done at home as the book explains " How

To " . Check your local library and see if they can order it for you, or

you can probably get it from Amazon.com. Google Bioset.

 

Don't forget a very important way to improve all mental " diseases " .

one of the oldest, cheapest & effective " remedies " of all -

magnesium! It's been known for years as the " calming chemical " . In our

culture we seldom get enough and this deficiency may worsen many mental

problems. It's safe as if you overdose, like vitamin C, you only get

diarrhea! Milk of Magnesia and Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulphate) are two

very old good products that are often overlooked today. For autistic

and ADHD children in particular, try baths using Epsom Salts. It's

helped a lot of kids and adults. I prefer Magnesium Citrate daily for

supplemental use.

 

Last and certainly not least is my " Integrated 4 Part Therapy for

Autism and other Mental Problems " at: http://drbate.com/content/

integated.shtml

You can also get a free copy of the full book " The Health Revolution " by signing up for my free newsletter on that home page.

While the above article was written for Autism, virtually all above

will at least help in virtually any mental disease from a headache to

schizophrenia or severe depression.
