Reversing Autism and ADD
8:03:00 PM
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.
Drugging Our Youth
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
- 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.
- Diet and lifestyle changes require the total elimination of sugar and increase in protein and fresh fruit and vegetables.
- 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.

How To Maintain A Daily Balanced Diet?
6:06:00 AM
A balanced diet is of great importance in our daily meal, as it assures a healthy and long life. How to maintain a balanced diet. It is easy to do the same, provided, you understand the composition of a balanced diet. Incorporate foods that provide all the essential nutrients, such as fat, protein, carbohydrate, fiber, minerals and vitamins helps in the maintenance of a balanced diet.
It is easy to adhere to a balanced diet, by following the food pyramid. The five food groups in the food pyramid provide all the necessary nutrients. Cereals and millets form the base of the pyramid. Vegetables and fruits form the next step of the pyramid. Vegetables and fruits provide phytonutrients, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins. Animal foods and dairy products lie parallel to each other, on the next step. Fats and oils form the apex of the pyramid, as they are restricted.
A balanced diet, as the name indicates, creates equipoise in the system and prevents any kind of associated problems. It provides relaxation to the physical and psychological state of the individual. It enhances the performance and cognitive thinking of the individual. It helps in the maintenance of body weight. Thus, it averts a number of complications, such as obesity, atherosclerosis, and hypertension and so on. A balanced diet keeps blood glucose and cholesterol levels in the normal range, thereby proving beneficial to the system.
Ensure a balanced diet by inclusion of all the foods with the major nutrients, in various combination's. Combination of foods helps in the mutual supplementation of certain nutrients. For instance, bread provides carbohydrates, whereas beans provide protein. Butter is a rich source of fat. A glass of milk makes the above said meal, a balanced one. Both the quantity and quality of the meals play a vital role in the sustenance of a balanced diet. Eat a balanced diet to prevent deficiency disorders, such as anaemia, rickets and so on. Growth and development is affected by an improper diet. In the case of children, eating a balanced diet, in a single go is difficult. This situation is overcome by spreading the foods of a particular meal, to a few hours, based on the child's capacity to complete.
Maintenance of a balanced diet ensures variety and breaks the monotony of a meal. It also creates interest and makes the meal, more appetizing. Optimum growth and health are the prerequisite of every individual. Achieve the same with a balanced diet.
