ThreeLac Or How Biomed Is Getting Out Of Hand

Are you on the spectrum? Are any of your chldren on the spectrum. Let me tell you about DAN.  have 2 autstc chldren, one of which developed pneumonia, was in and out of the hosptal 3 times and released n the same shape as when he went in to the hospital. After his conventional doctor give him pulmacort and dagnosed him as having reversible asthma he temporarily went blind, a side effect of the pulmacort, I took him to his eye doctor and he recommended I take him to see a DAN doctor. Within 1 week he was completely well of the pneumonia, just by takng probiotics,and  nutritional supplements. I am convinced that he would have died had we not made it to see this doctor and taken another approach. Children with ASD have compromised immune systems and do not respond to traditional meds, such as antibiotics, in this case. Also extreme levels of supplements such as B6 are not toxic to ASD people, we need it! We use it. This is proven. Do your research. Also with the new program of sharing info among autism treatment facilities you are going to in time see exactly what works and what doesn't so be careful what you assume. Pretty soon you may be proven very wrong. And if what you say is true,  about non controlled studies, then why is it that we are seeing remarkable results from these biomedical treatments. Much better results than the stimulant drugs conventional doctors are prescribing, and with little or no side effects. I have autism, both of my children have it. We live the spectrum every day and there are numerous controlled studies that dispute what you say, as well as, prove many DAN principles to be valid. If everyone in the mainstream medical community is convinced they are right about this why not prove it, perhaps through clincal trials and controlled studies. Of course, there are those who skew results of case studies to reflect thier own opinion. Lasyly, God gives exceptional children to exceptional people. It is my right to choose whatever treatment for my children that I want to, as long as it is done responsibly. Complications arise even in mainstream medical techniques, the key is close monitoring.   

Autistic children need supplements. Here's why. Autistic children self-limit their food due to sensory issues and food sensitivities. They also have trouble absorbing enough nutrients from the food they do eat. They do not produce enough digestive enzymes. Their neurotransmitters are imbalanced. 90% of neurotransmitters are made in the gut. The GI tracts in the majority of autistic children are compromised by inflammation and dysbiosis.

 Supplementation has a good risk benefit ratio for these kids with a couple of caveats. First, each supplement should be introduced one at a time, using the great low and slow method. Second, at the beginning of a special diet, it is a good idea to leave out the supplements for a time until the gut has had a chance to heal. Otherwise the supplements may just end up feeding the bad bugs in the gut or irritating the gut further. Third, supplements should be free of allergens and unnecessary fillers. Kirkmans is well known as a maker of supplements safe for autistic children. Other good sources include Pure Encapsulations.

 For a long time I gave my toddler no supplements during the early months of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. I found he benefited from B6; it made his hair thicker. His hair finally grew in the regions where it used to fall out. Now his male pattern baldness is finally going away. Magnesium helped him sleep better. MB12 sublingual spray helped with his balance. Enhansa made him laugh and smile more, initiate more social interactions, made his face more expressive, and made him move faster. Fermented cod liver oil improved his eye contact and made him stop looking at objects out of the corners of his eyes.

 The mito cocktail was an absolute rescusitation for him, since he has an underlying mitochondrial disorder as 4-10% of autistic children are estimated to have. Carnitine made him socially engaged as well as happier and more energetic. CoQ10 reversed his clinginess and fatigue. Creatine monohydrate helped him broaden his play and try more new things. Folinic acid made him less obsessive, less easily frustrated, and less anxious in the face of lots of sensory input.
