Amino Acid Therapy And Autism
Amino Acids are the ‘building blocks of proteins. From them, we get neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters, or lack thereof, are often the cause of many psychological conditions including anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. When the body lacks serotonin, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine, it effects the messages between nerve cells.
There are 20 amino acids. 10 of them are considered to be non-essential amino acids and 10 are essential amino acids. The difference between the two are that non-essential amino acids can and are produced by the body, whereas essential amino acids are not able to be produced by the body and must be obtained from the foods that we eat. But, What do Amino Acids Have To Do With Autism?
Sleep Issues And Autism: The Link and Treatment
We’ve discussed many symptoms of Autism that seem to be very common amongst children. From stomach issues to hyperactivity, the list of symptoms is very long. One that we haven’t yet discussed is sleep. Several studies show that children with Autism have a higher chance of developing sleep issues than those children who do not have Autism. Why is this? And more importantly, what can be done to calm this symptom and assist in the treatment of the symptomatic disorder?
Preventing Autism: Part III – What to Do After Giving Birth
Part Three of our study of Autism Prevention takes a look at the things that you can do right after baby is born to ensure healthy body function and neurological wellness.
Preventing Autism: What to do before conceiving
Over the next 3 weeks, we’re going to take a look at the ways in which Autism may be able to be prevented before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and after pregnancy. With the rising number of Autism cases throughout the world, it makes one wonder where we can start the process of not only healing those who are afflicted with Autism, but possibly prevent it from occurring in the first place
Autism Symptoms VS Autism Treatment
It’s important that when your child is diagnosed with Autism that you do not take it as a forever-sentence of turmoil and pain. There are a great deal of success stories surrounding many treatment options. Below are some of the treatment options that are currently being utilized for Autism treatment:
Negative Ions And Their Effects On Autism
Ions occur naturally in the atmosphere. There are two types of ions; Positive Ions and Negative Ions. Though their names suggest that we should avoid the Negative Ions and seek out the Positive Ions, the opposite is the case. Positive Ions, unlike their name suggests, have been shown to increase the risk of obtaining infection because they inhibit the body’s ability to clean the air that we take into our respiratory system. Negative Ions, on the other hand, have been shown to improve a number of human conditions such as depression, allergies, and insomnia. What does this mean for Autism?
The Picture Exchange System: A Method of Communication For Children With Autism
Words often escape individuals, especially children with Autism. Social interaction and communication are often trouble areas. Where we don’t think twice about asking someone to hand us a specific item, people with Autism find this seemingly simple task to be almost impossible, or at the very least, highly difficult. The Picture Exchange Communication System, or PECS, focuses on a child’s ability to communicate using methods other than speec
The Homotoxicology Process
Last week, we explored the basics of Homotoxicology. (You can catch up by reading last week’s post). The focus of homotoxicology is to rid the body of harmful toxins in order to promote self healing. The Homotoxicology method of treatment believes that the body possesses the innate self-healing mechanism and can treat and prevent illness, and that disease is the culmination of toxins in the body.
