While it can certainly seem a bit overwhelming, the more we find out, the more we can protect ourselves and our children from potential hazards. Here are a few of the research findings of the EWG
Organic Acid Test: The All-In-One Test For Autism
A very common treatment for Autism is diet modification and mineral supplement. However, before such changes are made, it must be determined what state the body is actually in. While many tests can detect different bodily conditions, the Organic Acid Test (OAT) is becoming increasingly more common. Why choose to get the Organic Acid Test when testing for Autistic Body conditions?
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?

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.
