Having a child born with an
abnormality is every parent’s worse fear – but what if you knew that
problems such as autism, ADD, ADHD and other disorders were actually
caused by a breakdown in a biochemical process and could be reversed.
Some Background Information
Several years ago health researchers
led by Dr Paula Bickle, made a breakthrough when they found that
youngsters with autism all had immune problems, high levels of toxicity
and alcohol in their bodies and were lacking in most of the amino acids
– especially taurine; they also lacked a number of important vitamins
(particularly vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid) and many minerals –
particularly magnesium, copper and zinc. These nutrients are essential
for the necessary biological reactions (which convert methionine to
taurine) which eliminate toxins and, very importantly break down sugar.
It is this sensitivity to sugar
(along with a number of other toxins) and toxic build up that leads to
hyperactivity and behavioral problems including madness. Another
typical sign is the presence of dark circles under the eyes –
indicating an allergic reaction.
Remarkably the researchers were able
to reverse 14 of the 16 cases of autism through changes to their diet –
which involved increasing their protein, fresh fruit and vegetable
intake, eliminating sugar and through supplementation with essential
nutrients.
This same treatment process can be
applied to ADHD and ADD – a milder form of the same problem. Here's a
summary of some natural and nutritonal treatments tha can be applied to
ADD, ADHD and Autism.
Diet
Total elimination of sugar – this is
for the whole family and not the child – you need to set an example;
this includes all forms of refined sugar and processed or simple
carbohydrates.
Eliminate or significantly reduce
dairy and grain – this is a source of allergies that the child will be
very sensitive to – use soy as an alternate source of food.
Increase the intake of protein to
replace the missing amino acids.
Nutritional Supplements
Supplements can help by providing
the necessary nutrients to make the biochemical reactions start to work
again; they are also needed to repair the damage caused by this toxic
build up and to help children absorb nutrients.
Supplements include:
Plant derived colloidal minerals –
these are over 98% absorbable and provide all of the minerals required
for normal functioning.
Multi-vitamin / Amino acid formula
in liquid or tablet form – vitamins and protein are required for
correct metabolism, to replace the amino acid deficiency and to rebuild
the body.
Digestive enzymes to assist the body
in digesting protein; the damage caused by sugar and other toxins will
lead to very poor absorption of food.
Antioxidants are required to reverse
the affects of toxic damage caused to the body by the poor metabolism
of sugar.
A chromium/vanadium supplement will
assist in helping to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
There are many other diseases and
health challenges that affect children but we focused on these
particular issues because they have such devastating affects on family
and school life. These diseases can be treated or at least controlled
and improved and it doesn’t involve getting our children addicted to
DRUGS.
Drugs such as Ritalin and Prozac
only subdue the child while the problem goes unchecked. They result in
drug dependency and significant side effects such as a worsening of the
condition when the child is off the drug, drooling, drowsiness and
explosive and violent emotions. There have also been no long term
studies into the health risks associated with putting young children
onto a dangerous drug.
Summary
1. Childhood diseases such as
autism, ADD and ADHD result from a biochemical malfunction that results
in a toxic build up in the child and their inability to metabolize
sugar.
2. Diet and lifestyle changes
require the total elimination of sugar and increase in protein and
fresh fruit and vegetables.
3. Natural treatments involve
supplementing with plant derived colloidal minerals, a
multivitamin/amino acid, antioxidants and digestive enzymes. These will
repair the damage, get the body functioning properly and ensure that
the child is receiving good nutrition.
