best treatment for autism

[Guest guest]

I have some people emailing me off list on what is the best course to take, but

I like to share with everyone. I have actually wrote a book, and will one day

publish it. I am not sure why I keep putting it off, since I finished writing

it 3 years ago. But, anyhow, I want to share some tips because many did this

for me.

After 6 years of research, I would have to say that mercury is the main

contributor. But. . . many report dumping mercury and other toxins when they

treat for worms, viruses, bacteria, etc. so chelation is not the only way. Some

people report that treating for pathogens rids more toxins than chelation. I am

not voting, just repeating. If I had to do it all over again, with my same

knowledge now, I would skip some treatments that were too much too soon.

Recovery is quicker when you go slower. I would also focus more in homeopathy.

Getting the immune system rebalanced is very difficult, and I had to learn to

and still do, ignore the junk medical reports in the newspaper and the typical

thinking that bacteria can be killed with a couple of weeks of antibiotics in

unhealthy folks. Chronic conditions are a totally different thing. They need

chronic (long-term) treatments.

Mercury is not acting alone. There are pathogens involved, pleomorphic without a

doubt. Pleomorphic means the pathogen changes to overcome and adapt to it's

environment. This is the only thing that can explain why our children respond

for a few days or weeks or even months to a treatment, and then the symptoms

return. Also, this explains why they fluctuate in and out of symptoms. I think

the mercury's lead role is that it hampers our bodies, allowing these

pleomorphic pathogens to take over. When we are healthy, they can not. They

are not as strong as HIV, which is also pleomorphic. And keep in mind that HIV

takes years to create symptoms, which is often seen in other pleomorphic

pathogens.

Also, keep in mind about opportunistic infections. These are germs we all have

all the time, but our immune system fights them off unless we have immune stress

or something weakening our immune system. Common ones seen are Strep.,

Clostridia Diff., yeast, protozoa of many different types, etc. The Pleomorphic

pathogens are Lyme, Bartonella, Mycoplasma, XMRV, and more of course. Those of

you who know about Herpes, you know that it comes and goes. They call it latent

when you don't have the bumps or cold sores. Anyhow, there are many

Herpes-types of viruses that don't cause any bumps at all, but are associated

with chronic fatigue, mood swings, immune system issues, etc. Many people test

positive for Lyme who don't have symptoms, which we would refer to as having a

latent infection.

Having said that, symptoms can only come from a few things: two main things are

inflammation blocking blood flow and digestion issues. If you look at many of

our kids, in reality they are kind of like drunk people. They slur their words,

are clumsy, are smart, but can't keep their thoughts together to carry out

everyday tasks (also notice many have green tinge to their skin around their

nose and mouth which means low oxygen). So, it's complicated, but this is all

due to lack of oxygen and nerves communicating. If you Google, you will find

that those with autism always measure having abnormally low blood flow in the

brain, which is reflected in those machines which show blue or red or yellow

colored images indicating blood-flow. Thus, get the blood flowing to the brain.

You can do this short-term by treating for inflammation, blood-thinners, blood

vessel dilators, etc. Long-term will be to kill the pathogens causing the

inflammation, which will take a long time because since their immune systems are

weak, they will need much more help than a smidgeon of anti-microbials.

The other thing causing symptoms is this. The body needs many nutrients to work

correctly. Due to damage, genetics, poor digestion, and microbial and toxin

loads, the nutrients are not being absorbed into the cells, and mostly not into

the brain cells. This could be from inflammation, pathogens consuming the

nutrients, pathogens disrupting the nutrients, toxins taking the place of

nutrient receptors, and uneven digestion.

Neurotransmitters tell our brain how to work. Amino acids make our

neurotransmitters. Digestion makes and absorbs our amino acids and nutrients.

Thus, our digestion is a main dictator of our neurotransmitter balance. Uneven

digestion means uneven neurotransmitters. Keep in mind that psych meds are

meant to lower or increase certain neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters tell us

our moods, and one only has to ponder on the female's menstruation's affect on

moods to understand how we can be deeply effected. Thus, get the digestion as

even as possible, which is currently being done by probiotics (only certain

brands will noticeably work), digestive enzymes, and many supplements that aid

in digestion and decrease the gastro lining's inflammation which of course is a

main reason for the digestion problems. These are short-term; long-term is to

rid the toxins and pathogens. Keep in mind that all the body systems are too

over-whelmed to rid toxins, which is why they are stock-piling in the first

place. Thus, support for the liver will be needed, but is actually done by all

kinds of gentle things. Also, keep in mind that the body can not rid the

pathogens and toxins when it's not working correctly which is similar to why

people can not overcome an infection even on antibiotics if their immune system

is overly stressed.

My trick was to help the body in lots of of ways to all add up. So, we went

totally organic in food and products, removed carpeting, and avoid all smells

(car exhaust, perfumes, candles, etc.). This lowers their toxin input. It's

more difficult to rid toxins when they keep stock-piling them from food and

their environment.

The digestion is treated with several long-term, gentle things, from probiotics,

to digestive enzymes, to gentle anti-inflammatories (fish oil, turmeric, and

there are many). Then what you have to do is add the correct nutrients. They

can not absorb nutrients correctly, so you need to buy certain vitamins and

multivitamins. Your doc will have a company he likes. Most B vitamins seem to

be needed in addition to the multivitamin choice, as well as Vitamin D. Some

also like to give lots of Vitamin E. Each doc has their own views. Anyhow,

then gentle, slow-acting antimicrobials seem to work best, since too much will

overwhelm them, causing the release of more toxins then they can rid, so they

will then be recirculated -- yikes! So, this is why people take nerve

protectors and binders to absorb toxins.

It appears that all pathogen types need to be treated (worms, virus, protozoa,

bacteria, etc.) Every health practitioner has their own ways, and one way is not

really better than the other. You have got to get the fine tuning down. For

example, if you stop giving your child wheat, but allow him to have soda pop,

don't expect change. Plus, your child may be getting wheat and you don't know

about it. I have caught teachers giving my children wheat even after I had docs

notes for them not to. So, that is another issue. I had one babysitter who

kept giving my child apple juice even after I told her he was allergic to

apples. She denied it, but I tasted his sippy cup to be sure, and then she

said, " It's only a little bit. "

Ok, let's see what else. Most antimicrobials will bring worse symptoms before

they rid symptoms. Most stop when they see a worsening, and say, " See, it

didn't work. " But, this is why you always learn about everything you do, so you

know what to expect from each thing. For example, sometimes fish oil kills

bacteria, causing some to get tics. a person may panic and stop, not knowing

the good it's doing. Or they may not know that the research on fish oil showed

it took months to show a decrease in ADHD symptoms. So, one may give it a few

weeks, see nothing and give up on it, not knowing it works slowly over time.

So, the real issue in being successful is reading your butt off and asking your

doc lots of questions so you know how to use what you selected, correctly.

Now, there are those with genetic issues impeding progress, so I am not saying

that all should get good results. But, I will say that most can get good

results. As I have said many times, the real way to get success is to seek out

those with success. There are many health practitioners now who are doing

autism recovery. Just want to add that there are always exceptions in that

everything needs to be done correctly, and that some will be allergic or not

tolerable to a certain treatment. This is why it's always best to remind

everyone to seek out a knowledgeable health care practitioner to get direct

advice.

I know that finances are a big problem, but with searching and planning, most

will be able to manage getting their goals met; it may just take a lot longer

than if they were loaded with money, of course. If you want my take on HBOT or

stem cells or other any kind of treatment, I think it still comes back to doing

what the successful practitioners say to do. Some will always respond well and

some will not, and a good practitioner will hopefully guide you with their

knowledge. Anything with the ability to reduce inflammation, increase oxygen

flow, and kill pathogens and rid toxins, can help if it can be done safely.

Thus, not so much the treatment choice, but more the practitioner choice and

doing the treatment correctly. My method was doing many small things together

to get the body assisted to work correctly.
