AUTISM

According to modern statistics, autism strikes 1 in every 88 children.

Worry, overreaction, and nervousness are all classic signs of anxiety disorder, and in order to unravel the causes for each, we must first identify and understand the meaning of each subtype before we can determine the best option for anxiety disorder treatment

Autism Treatment - Diet & Lifestyle Changes

First and foremost, try to eliminate all sugars from the diet. Sugar, which feeds inflammation, causes flora imbalances in the intestines, and blood sugar spikes, is completely toxic to the body, and it includes high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), honey, agave, and table sugar. Oftentimes, sugars hide-out in many popular food items, such as juices, sodas, grain products, bagels, cereals, pastas, pretzels, and pastries.

    1. If you haven’t done so yet, optimize vitamin D levels.
    2. Focus only on fresh, organic, pesticide-free foods.
    3. Avoid all pasteurized milk products. Since natural flavorings and preservatives are an issue with dairy foods, it is an essential  precautionary measure.
    4. Reinforce healthy food choices for a healthier immune system. Overall, biotoxins compete for detoxification pathways, so low-sugar, less starchy dietary suggestions and a stress-free environment can really help ease symptoms.
    5. Avoid exposure to all environmental toxins, which includes pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals (aluminum, mercury, lead). When at home, create a safe environment by making sure you’ve eliminated all potential sources of mold, followed by personalized detoxification screening.
    6. In regards to technology, try to reduce all EMF exposure. When used frequently, cell phones, wi-fi networks, and electrical wiring can cause toxic microbes to release even more biotoxins.
