Autism is a topic that is being given much study. Much is yet to be learned. There is undeniable evidence that autism is not just something a child is born with but is in many instances an acquired condition. Much research and legal battles focus now on the connection between autism and immunizations (SEE Appendix: Autism/immunization information harvested from many sources.) Many cases appear to have nutritional causes as well. (SEE Appendix :Evidences of nutritional deficiencies in people with autism.) IN summary the mercury contained in the immunizations cannot be excreted by infants due to physical and metabolic immaturity. The saturation of mercury in the brain and nerves appears to create autism. Many adults also appear to suffer other neurological problems due to mercury either ingested, absorbed, and form dental fillings. Heavy metals such as mercury can be chelated out of the body either via intravenous chelation or via oral chelation (SEE Get Well@Home plan Heavy metal detox) Nutritional deficiencies can be remedied somewhat by providing a well balanced diet. Consisting of fruits, grains, vegetables and nuts. Many Autistic individuals suffer from malabsorption syndrome. It appears that adding particular supplements can be beneficial. Chemicals found in dairy products are irritating to many individuals' digestive tracts. Nearly one third of the population is dairy intolerant to some extent. Autistic children have responded and progressed very well when all dairy products were eliminated from the diet.

Dietary:
Simple foods prepared from natural sources are best. A well balanced diet will provide more of the varied nutrients required. Avoid stimulating substances like spices, and caffeine in any form. Dairy products are best left out of the diet due to their ability to irritate the intestinal linings and contribute to malabsorption.

Exercise:
A consistent plan will help to burn nervous energy and will help to keep more oxygen circulation to the brain. It provides a point of focus and connection for the subject.

Television:
Television viewing may be detrimental. Today's TV programs are done with three cameras with a barrage of constantly changing scenes and camera angles. This causes information overload and contributes to a worsening of most behavior problems.

Sleep:
The hormones produced during sleep are important to brain function. The lions share are produced before midnight. Get the subject to bed early!

Water:
Drinking ample water is critical for brain function. Detoxification is reliant upon sufficient fluid intake. Dehydration leads to lowered brain efficiency. 10 glassed daily for an adult weighing 110 pounds or more. For children; factor by bodyweight.

Education:
Autistic children generally fare better when involved in a consistent educational program.

Nutritional supplementation:
Essential fatty acids are critical for proper brain function. Studies show that infants who nurse generally have a higher IQ (10 points higher) than bottle fed babies due to the increased levels if EFA's in breast milk. We have seen significant behaviour changes in adults and children after 3 days of ingesting 1 tablespoon Barlean's Flaxseed oil per 100 pounds of bodyweight.

160-320mgs of Manapol Powder daily taken with food or drink can benefit most subjects, especially when taken with Flaxseed oil. Vitamin B-Complex is very beneficial when taken daily.

Digestive enzymes:
Plant based digestive enzymes can help break down food properly for better absorption.

L-glutamine take daily with meals can help absorption problems by healing irritated mucous membranes in the digestive tract.

Prebiotic/probiotic preparations like MegaFibe LT can help by improving bowel health.

Vitamin C can help to reduce heavy metal levels. It works best when taken with NAC (N-Acetylcystene) and Super Green Phyto complex. Also the pectin in apples can help to bind and remove metals.

Vitamin B-12 1000mcg weekly for adults 500mcg weekly for children.
