Autism “Core” & “First Layer” Issues

 

CORE=Diet & Environment & Liver Detox Impairment (100% of these kids) information @ DefeatAutismYesterday.com Also per Dr. Klinghart: Measles, Lyme, Strep, Metals, Yeast & Parasites

  “Unload the Donkey”-Willis

“Remove all environmental exposures so child can tolerate necessary phenols in foods” – It is also prudent to control phenol levels in foods & understand they are cumulative over the course of the day.

ENVIRONMENT: All scented EVERYTHING contains phenol, harms your child & must be removed. “Seeking” behaviors=childs perseverative activities attempting to get “high” off phenols.

 Start a diet designed to reduce immune response to food (7-Day Rotation, Hypo-Allergenic, Sara’s) stop feeding the gut bugs (Atkins or SCD) & maximize nutrition (Huge variety, minimal heat exposed – raw, dehydrated), & add enzymes & Hydrochloric Acid & address “universal” First Layer issues:

 

Please Check with your treating physician prior to starting any supplements. Also, make sure your daily cumulative total (including all multi-vitamin sources) doesn’t exceed recommendations for your child. 

 

HypothyroiD (potentially more than 80%-Willis & Jim)

It has been estimated that up to 80% of autistics are HYPOthyroid (Willis Langford).You can not depend on the lab tests. You will miss many kids with this. Thyroid function is enormously important to re-build the immune systems of these kids. Without addressing this “underlying” issue it can undermine “comprehensive” efforts to hit the “tipping point” that returns them to normal immune/brain function.

There is an inverse relationship between TSH levels & thyroid function. The more TSH you have the more HYPOthyroid you are. Anything over 3 is considered by most recent studies to be a potential indicator of lowered thyroid hormone production (HYPOthyroid)

 

Things that reduce thyroid function (exacerbating HYPOthyroid):

1.) Fluoride (avoid it in all toothpaste & water (check water bottler -not required on label)

2.) Mercury (until chelation challenge proves otherwise assume problem for autistic)

3.) Copper (until lab results indicate otherwise assume high in autistic)

4.) Residue from plastics (h20 bottles) (Pica-putting plastic things in mouth)

5.) It is suspected that other environmental toxins contribute.

 

***Take a moment & think about this…Most if not all of these kids have the above listed issues, therefore probably Hypothyroidism. My son is Hypothyroid despite having a constantly warm body…including his night time/early morning hands & feet. However, he did not pass the Iodine test. So my basic message is since none of the supplemental interventions for thyroid function seem to be contra-indicated you can probably just treat your child for Hypothyroidism & move on!

 

Nutrients required for the support of the thyroid:

B2 in a multiB

B6, B6, B6, B6…(40lb child 50 mg/3 x’s day -Willis)

B 12 see info on Folic Acid B12 Protocol on Day Protocol

Vitamins A (in it’s natural form: Cod Liver Oil) (w/ Arachadonic Acid)

Vitamins C & E

Bovine or pig derived thyroid glandular (all natural) @ any health food store

Glutathione

Iodine

Magnesium

Selenium

Tyrosine

Avoid Long Chain Fatty Acids (Canola, Safflower) can’t break these down

 

Barnes Basal Temperature Test:

Before you go to bed set up a thermometer you can use without getting out of bed or exerting effort (if you haven’t gotten rid of your mercury containing ones and plan to use it shake it down before you lay down, if other kind use per directions)

When you first wake up take your underarm temperature for 10 minutes.

Repeat for 3 days.

If your body temperature is between 97.8 & 98.2 or HIGHER your thyroid function is probably normal…if it is lower you/your child are probably HYPOthyroid.

 

Iodine Tincture Test:

Dab Iodine Tincture ($2 @ drug store) on body in 1-2 inch dot & observe.

If gone within 24 hours, reapply.

Whenever you notice it gone, reapply, or

Before tubby time (same time each day) check for brown spot.

If it is gone.  Reapply after bath.

Repeat daily until brown spot remains through next day’s tubby time.

When you have gotten a brown spot to remain for 24 hours…

You have successfully re-iodized your child.

Repeat at first of every month (or whenever you will remember). 

 

PST  (Phenol-SulfoTransferase Enzyme Deficiency)

 (potentially more than 80% - Dr. Rosemary Waring)

 “He” is poisoned by his own metabolic waste & food/environment phenols.” –Willis

Symptoms of PST

Thirst is excessive

Night sweats

Bedding smells weird

Eyes havedark shadows

Cheeks & Ears are occasionally red

Treatment of PST:

Avoid Environmental Toxins (requires this enzyme)

Avoid Tylenol (disables this enzyme further)

Avoid Salicilates & Phenols=(require this enzyme)

Feingold Diet/Sara’s diet (reduces need for this enzyme)

Glycine (helps w/ high serotonin) (increases bile) (glycinated minerals help)

Epsom Salt Bath

Glucosamine (be careful can produce Glutamine which is excitotoxic)

Condroitin Sulfate

Taurine

Glutathione (transdermal/IV/oral has some gut healing benefit)

MSM

NAC (low dose)

ALA (low dose)

 Detox: sauna, hat bath, massage, moderate exercise

 

PyrolurIA  (potentially more than 20% of autistics -Pfieffer)

                                                                       (up to 60% potentially per Dr. Woody McGuiness)

 

Symptoms of Pyroluria: (general, do not have to have all)

Body: Fatigues easily, thin except heavy waisted,

Brain: Anxious, Depressed, devastated by stress, reading disorders

Ears: Sensitivity to loud noises

Eyes: Light sensitivity

Skin:  generally pale, body tans, face doesn’t

Sleep: more prone to disorders, “night person”, minimal dream recall

Stomach: don’t like to eat breakfast

Males: prone to rages/Females: up & down

 

Treatment for Pyroluria: (Must have daily supplement!!!!!)

B6, B6, B6, B6 – (more than 200 mg a day from all combined sources-ask DR.)

Zinc -seek advice from DR but generally at least 30 mg/day- more watch copper

Arachadonic Acid (Cod Liver oil is contra-indicated w/o adding animal fat first)

Glycine plays potential role (HEME) (glycinated minerals will help)

Testing: Kryptopyrole: Urine should be frozen for better test (Pfieffer - $40)

 This diagnosis has an excellent/quick response to daily nutrient treatment.

 gut dysbiosis (Potentially more than 80%)Jim @ WHM

 Dysbiosis equals micro-flora/yeast/bacteria imbalance in the gut.

 “Sugar of all forms feeds yeast… Fungus/yeast/mold feeds: fungus/yeast/mold…Avoid corn, peanuts, cashews – worst offenders…Yeast has infinite reproduction/multiplication capacity when given proper environment. While environment remains fertile, killing more yeast/fungus than will be produced is not probable. Mold feeds yeast: Avoid corn/peanuts/cashews

Main contributors to yeast overgrowth: antibiotics & birth control.  One round of antibiotics wipes out 8 pounds of bacteria. Moms tend to be low in PROGESTERONE because fungus converts it to PREDNIZONE, but tend to be high in estrogen” – Jim @ WorldHealthMall.com

 Symptoms of Yeast: (any combination)

Stomach: bloat with meals

Acid Reflux

Bowel: constipated and/or diarrhea

Blood: Hypoglycemic,

Anemia

Cholesterol High

Triglycerides High

Blood Pressure High

Pulse Rate High

Body Temperature: Cold Hands & Feet

Ears & Nose ITCH

 Treatment for Yeast: (these are Jim’s product suggestions)

Atkin’s Diet or The Specific Carbohydrate

Syclovir (not pregnant women can cause pre-term labor) (otherwise Hypoallergenic & Non-Toxic)

1 tsp/day for Adults 1/2 tsp/day Children

Look for die-off & reversal of symptoms

Animal Caps (not for pregnant women)

Ultra I & II (used to be Cal/Virum) (II contains good copper-rids bad copper)

Ultra II daily basis (helps copper/zinc ratio)

Daily Probiotics (Ultrablend) is what he sells

Dietary Approach: (His belief is more Atkins & less SCD)

Avoid high glycemic index foods & moldy foods:corn/peanuts/cashews(Nuts?)

Carrots are fine &(despite the high glycemic index) are very anti-fungal

 

To Add soon:

Liver Detoxification Impairment (100% per Edelson & Cantor)

Necessary Tests: PhaseI vs Phase II in order to better suggest herbal supplementation, because otherwise all “liver detox enhancer” could potentially  enhance the side your child is weak in & create further imbalance, exacerbating the problem!86% High Phase I/OK Phase II - 14% OK Phase I/low Phase II

Metalithionine Protein Impairment (Metal Accumulation)

Hyper-Insulinism

Fatty Acid+Protein+Carbohydrate Mal-digestion  

Universal supplement starting place guidelines
