*Alternate Therapies for Autism (and All Mental Problems)*
This article is designed to help you do research finding help and solutions
to improve autism (and other mental problems.) You can use this reference
article to search further on many and various therapies that have helped
others. This is a very confusing subject, with lots of "expensive products"
and lots of Big Pharma lies and lots of MD's who don't know as much as they
should. Too much money is involved, and finding inexpensive "at home" ways
to normalize an autistic child or solve other mental symptoms isn't as
simple as it should be. This article tells you how and where to research
information. It basically follows orthomolecular medical theory.
There are many different therapies that have helped many people with
"mental problems", ranging from ADD/ADHD/Autism to depression, and even
schizophrenia. The best up to recently has been Neurofeedback/EEG
biofeedback. That therapy has worked to solve mental problems for nearly 50
years. Used with HEG (brain oxygen therapy), it has slowly done wonders.
The problem is that it is horribly expensive, costing so much that only
very wealthy families can afford it for even ADD/ADHD. (average cost for
ADD/ADHD is $5000 in a NFB clinic. Compare to $147 for NT (below).
Hyperbaric Oxygen Immersion Tanks have also improved autism symptoms, but
this therapy is so expensive that HEG biofeedback replaced it as less
expensive some years ago. Both therapies are expensive, and generally only
for the wealthy.
*The newest and certainly the least expensive "brain training" method is
the Neuroliminal Training (NT) system *. This has now been shown to be an
excellent and inexpensive alternate to both the very expensive
Neurofeedback (NFB) training, and Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy. Results are
very similar to the combination of those two therapies. For a fraction of
the cost of those, it offers an affordable and much better alternative to
those and, of course, to Ritalin and other dangerous drugs. Both NFB/EEG
and NT work to eliminate allergen affects causing mental problems of all
types. For more info:

Allergies and allergy stress are always part of all "brain problems",
There's a simple and free (except for some detective work) way to detect
them. Even if you use the NT or NFB Training, this is a good idea! Check

For the ADD to Autism continuum (as well as depression and schizophrenia),
there is a good possibility that mercury or other toxic minerals may be the
real underlying problem. These mineral toxins MUST be gotten out of the
body. There are various old and new methods of doing this:
a. Vitamin C in large doses: This has two advantages; it's relatively
cheap, and it's good for overall health. In my former practice, I used it
with excellent success in many schizophrenia cases. In general, it is very
safe, unless the patient has an allergy to corn (not that unusual). For
smaller children, I would recommend 1 gram (1000 mg) at each meal per 40
pounds per child. Overdosing only causes diarrhea, and it might be
necessary to work up to this amount if such occurs. The only form of
Vitamin C that takes out toxic minerals is ascorbic acid NOT any ascorBATE
forms. Read labels!
b. Injecting chelating chemical: A therapy where a chelating drug
(EDTA) is injected into a vein for an hour or so in a clinic office. This
is also quite expensive. Not recommended.
c. Zeolite in liquid form: A newer method taken by mouth. This is
actually a form of lava rock that is very porous, and this porosity
attracts heavy metals (mercury, lead, copper, etc) binds to such, and
carries it out via the urine/kidney pathway. You can get more details from
www.Zortho.com<http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=6BEwk&m=JrLmthPV63dBIj&b=lnLncWcuq_dnsCLUSN4sMw>.
(If you use "Dr Bate" on the opening page, you'll get a discount.) .
d. Glutathione Supplements: There are several chemical companies that
sell glutathione products at a high price. Glutathione is a natural
combination of amino acids which is manufactured in the body of normal
humans, but in autism and other cases, the mercury which causes brain
damage also "cripples" the glutathione manufacture, so it cannot remove the
mercury. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant with several other
interesting features:
- It's a major part of the immune system often overlooked by
scientists.
- Glutathione detoxifies the body by taking poisons, including
mercury and other toxic minerals out. (Similar to chelation, but most other
toxins as well as minerals.)
- It's not absorbed well when taken as a direct supplement. This
is important as there are many supplements that contain glutathione that
are not generally effective.
- Low levels of glutathione are found in all autistic children,
as well as many other sick or toxic persons. These low levels do not allow
excretion well. This explains why hair, blood, and urine tests of mercury
(and other minerals) do not show accurately what is stored in the body.
- Again not cheap, but this seems to be worth the price if you
can afford it. For more details email Mary at max4metals@aol.com. Prices
are coming down.
There's a new therapy (to me) that many people swear definitely helps. It
has to do with alkalizing the water you drink. The theory is that this
lowers "inflammation" in the body. It is relatively expensive, but in
testing it has shown promise. Again, email Mary Cavanaugh at
max4metals@aol.com
Most autistic infants and small kids are very "picky", and simply won't eat
what they need in nutrition - thus developing "Leaky Gut Syndrome". I have
a chemist friend (David Cafarelli) who has concocted a "rub-on" sort of
lotion that can provide various vitamins and amino acids, but it's not
cheap, and is still out of the reach of many autistic budgets. He has
developed such a regimen for getting necessary nutrition into gastric
bypass patients, and many surgeons use his suppositories and lotions. If
you need his products or want more information, contact him by email at
"Dcafarelli@comcast.net<http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=6BEwk&m=JrLmthPV63dBIj&b=5i4KqFV4rqAmZ8zs5VHEig>
".
There's a therapy called VibroAcoustic Therapy (VAT) that has had good
success in Europe with ADD-Autism as well. This is low frequency full body
vibrations at different frequencies, and the basic idea is to lose stress,
which works for all disease. It clears the mind and enables effective
connectivity to the subconscious. It's sort of an inner body massage that
is important for cell metabolism. It is not cheap, but good if you can
afford it This would be a good complimentary therapy to Neuroliminal
Training as both lower stress, and VAT works fairly fast, while NT is
slower. I learned about it first hand from Avigail Berg-Panitz.@gmail.com.
She practices in the North Palm Beach FL area.
There's a company that advocates a special "Body Ecology Diet", This has
had good success with autism and virtually all other health issues. It
includes many products designed to effectively make the human body work
better and more efficiently. It includes some very good probiotics as well
as others that help get rid of yeast overgrowth & the "Leaky Gut Syndrome".
Again, not cheap, but worth it, if it is affordable for your family. For
more information:

What do digestive enzymes have to do with ADD/ADHD and autism? A "leaky"
gut syndrome" produces more allergy/sensitivity, and enzymes with meals
break down the food better lessening the need for the "leaky gut". This has
helped many ADD/ADHD as well as autistic persons.
a. There is a bulletin board sponsored by Kirkman Labs that has a forum on
special digestive enzymes. Join at: enzymesandautism-subscribe@
yahoogroups.com <enzymesandautism-subscribe@yahoogroups.com>.
b. Another company that has an excellent line of enzymes is New Beginnings.
In addition to the enzymes, they have a lot of Gluten/Casein Free
Nutritional Supplements, and a "purified source" of cholesterol (see
below). Info and catalogs at
http://nbnus.com<http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=6BEwk&m=JrLmthPV63dBIj&b=JGJ7JTfcyT43mI4gCnX96g>
At an Orlando conference, I also learned that many autistics have low
cholesterol, and supplementing with two egg yolks a day may improve many
symptoms. This is certainly easy and cheap to try. If the person has an
allergy to eggs (not uncommon) then a "purified" cholesterol may be
obtained from the New Beginnings supplier above that is non allergenic.
For autistic (and ADD/ADHD) children, there's a lot of evidence that a
gluten free and dairy free diet can help considerably. Google gfcf for more
info. (The Caveman Diet above includes this and also cuts out many more of
the commonly allergenic foods. Try it for a week or so, then switch to
gfcf.)
The latest research also shows that supplementing with fish oil can
dramatically improve the ADD-Autism set of problems. There have been many
"phony" fish oil capsules on he market, and supplementing with Krill oil is
now the recommended supplement. This also may be obtained from Zortho.com
(see above).
There's a drug therapy called LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone). While it is a
drug, it seems that in low doses, it can significantly decrease many
disease problems (symptoms) in autism, HIV/Aids, cancers, etc. For more
information http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.
org<http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=6BEwk&m=JrLmthPV63dBIj&b=LVRWK6fUIqXniqH33xbSBg>Some
good results for autistics have been reported.
Another new nutritional "therapy" consists of supplemental glyconutrients.
A company called Mannotech is marketing these by an MLM (which I hate), and
they apparently are helping with some ADD-Autism symptoms. For more details
on glyconutrients - a new found essential nutrient - check out both
Mannotech and glyconutrients by googling them.
There's also a therapy technique called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
that has also shown some good results with ADD/ADHD, depression, etc. This
was put together by Gary Craig, and his website containing lots of free and
almost free information may be found at
http://www.emofree.com<http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=6BEwk&m=JrLmthPV63dBIj&b=6hBmUo9lVutQo.kc1mc0Xw>
Some have had good results with NAET (Nambudripad Allergy Elimination
Technique). However, results are mixed, and Dr Nambudripad has been unhappy
with many practitioners who do not follow her technique carefully. There is
further information at http://www.naet.com/
subscribers/index_ns.html<http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=6BEwk&m=JrLmthPV63dBIj&b=imMrNxFp2CSKtJVI3XkLyQ>
There's a system similar to NAET called Bioset. There's a book "Food
Allergy Cure" by Dr. Ellen Cutler, which explains using Bioset to remove
allergies. This can also be done at home as the book explains "How To".
Check your local library and see if they can order it for you, or you can
probably get it from Amazon.com. Google Bioset.
Don't forget a very important way to improve all mental "diseases". one of
the oldest, cheapest & effective "remedies" of all - magnesium! It's been
known for years as the "calming chemical". In our culture we seldom get
enough and this deficiency may worsen many mental problems. It's safe as if
you overdose, like vitamin C, you only get diarrhea! Milk of Magnesia and
Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulphate) are two very old good products that are
often overlooked today. For autistic and ADHD children in particular, try
baths using Epsom Salts. It's helped a lot of kids and adults. I prefer
Magnesium Citrate daily for supplemental use.
Last and certainly not least is my "Integrated 4 Part Therapy for Autism
and other Mental Problems" at: http://drbate.com/content/
integated.shtml<http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=6BEwk&m=JrLmthPV63dBIj&b=2PQu4dPO_Bce3Su10TCLYA>
You can also get a free copy of the full book "The Health Revolution" by
signing up for my free newsletter on that home page.
While the above article was written for Autism, virtually all above will at
least help in virtually any mental disease from a headache to schizophrenia
or severe depression.
