Autism Treatments

If you are seeking medical autism treatments, you have come to the wrong place. There are natural treatments for autism that can make a significant difference in the life of your child.

Parents aren’t sure what to do and the medical community doesn’t necessarily know that taking a natural approach to treating autism works and can be life changing.

The four most important autism treatments you can do to help your child’s body to function properly again:

1. Decrease the toxins coming into the body
2. Help heal the gut
3. Get the metals and other toxins out
4. Increase Nutrients

Decrease the toxins coming into the body. Toxins are anything that creates stress on the body because they are difficult for the body to release. In our society, we get toxins in faster than our bodies can get rid of them.

For children, it is even more difficult especially when you are talking about heavy metals such as mercury. The following list is representative of the things you can do to bring the toxic load of your child down and is the first step for autism treatments.

Remember, natural cures take time and so does change. Take one at a time until you are able to incorporate most of what is here.

What not to do:

• Do not eat casein that is in dairy products. Just removing this from the diet has shown major improvements.
• Do not eat gluten that comes from wheat.
• Do not eat common food allergens. Usually this is dairy, wheat, soy, eggs, and corn. Rice Milk is a good substitute.
• Do not eat foods that have additives such as artificial colors, artificial flavors, preservatives,or artificial sugar like nutrasweet (aspartame) , hydrogenated/partially hydrogenated oils also know as trans fats.
• Do not eat sugary foods. Especially foods with high fructose corn syrup. Cutting out the sugar can best be done with low glycemic eating.
• Do not use aluminum pans, aluminum foil as the aluminum leaches into the food adding more metals.
• Do not use the microwave. This chemically alters food and makes digestion difficult.
• Do not use flouridated toothpaste. . Flouride is a potent neuro-toxin. Natural toothpastes will do an effective job at preventing tooth decay without being poisonous. There's a reason fluoride toothpaste has to say on the label "contact poison control" if swallowed (see for yourself).
• Do not renovate while you live at home. New paints, new carpets, and sealants all produce toxins that are very hard for the body to process.

What to Do:

• Get mercury fillings removed with a mercury-free dentist. A list by state is available at www.iaomt.org.
• Switch to only natural and organic foods
• Remove conventional household cleaners. There is a natural version of every household cleaner. Conventional cleaners like 409, Ajax, etc. are filled with toxins that your children ingest and have to process. Natural cleaners are significantly less toxic.
• Keep toxins in your house down by adding a HEPA air filter to the house or at minimum, your child’s room.
• Question your child’s need for a vaccination, ensure they are Thimerosal-free. However, many have high levels of aluminum.
• Use fluoride-free toothpaste
