Naturally Recovering Autism with Karen Thomas

The Methylation Cycle with Dr. Bob Miller

The Methylation Cycle

Methylation is a type of gene expression. There are hundreds of different methylation reactions in the body. Most commonly noted is its role in the body’s ability to detoxify. Eighty five to ninety percent of people with autism are known to have reduced methylation. Methylation is required to produce glutathione.  

When there is heavy toxic burden on the liver it has a strong demand for the body’s master antioxidant glutathione. When glutathione level drops low enough, the sulfur metabolism becomes disrupted. The methylation cycle (part of the sulfur metabolism, or detoxification) can become partially blocked and deplete some or all of several important sulfur containing metabolites including S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAMe), cysteine, glutathione, taurine, and sulfate. This can create such a weakening in the system that it allows disease to develop.

It is crucial to assist the liver. A few of the many symptoms of methylation disruption are associated with liver disruption. Liver Detoxification Pathway Elixir is an excellent choice for liver support and detoxification. Glutathione can also be taken in supplemental form.

MPR elixir is a liquid sublingual supplement which optimizes the enzymatic activity related to methylation pathway repair and stimulates repair of any damaged DNA controlling the methylation pathway.

Do you or your child have any symptoms of liver and methylation disruption such as:

• lowered immunity
• hearing trouble and ear infections
• headaches
• depression
•  irritability
•  fatigue
•  ADHD
• skin problems (itching, acne, hives, rashes)
• sinus and tonsil issues
• tooth decay and gum disease
• viral infections
• parasites
• thyroid imbalance
• protein synthesis
• respiratory issues
• poor assimilation of nutrients
• digestive difficulty

The Sulfation Pathway In Autism with Dr. Stephanie Seneff

The Sulfation pathway is often disrupted in children with autism. It is a major pathway in detoxification. It is also involved in a variety of biological processes including hormone regulation, molecular recognition, cell signaling, and the ability of viruses to enter cells. Molecular recognition is crucial in the body’s ability to bond to assist the ability of the immune system to recognize foreign agents to signal the immune system to respond accordingly, such as antigen-antibody, and strengthening protein interactions. People with autism tend to have difficulty with protein synthesis.

Damage to tissues in the body from oxygen is called oxidation. Mitochondria, the cells energy, and DNA, the genetic expression can be altered if too much oxidation exists without enough ANTI-oxidants. This disruption is known to alter the neuron pathways of the brain.

Glutathione is the body’s major anti-oxidant. Children with autism have low levels of glutathione which is compounded in the liver. The liver is the organ of detoxification and it is often congested in children with autism.  A cell’s ability to absorb, or “uptake” glutathione relies on multiple amino acids inside of cells. Reduced glutathione production inhibits the body’s ability to detoxify environmental toxins such as heavy metals, and contributes to the weakening of the lining of the digestive tract, also known as leaky gut. Leaky gut allows undigested food particles to enter the bloodstream causing the immune system to become over-responsive and create an allergic response to foods that may otherwise be harmless. Leaky gut also reduces the body’s ability to absorb the nutrients from the foods we eat.

Emotional Clearing Technique with Sobyl Bunis

Emotional clearing technique is a natural way to remove emotional patterns that have been embedded into the neurological system. Any incident that has been strong enough to cause the psyche to hold onto it will be locked into the subconscious patterning and control our conscious decisions and reactions.

Growing up with autism can create issues around self esteem, “Something is wrong with me,” or acceptance, “people don’t like me,” or “others must control me because I’m not capable of doing things on my own.”

Parents and siblings of children with autism also have issues they carry that control their responses to their environment. Luckily, there is a gentle, natural and effective way to remove old issues around emotions that were “embedded” into our hard-drive causing our neurological system to react in specific ways when we have similar experiences later on in life.

Please watch this very important and informative interview with Cornell University graduate and doctor of chiropractic, Sobyl Bunis, who has specialized in Emotional Clearing Technique for over two decades. This technique is important to remove old patterns that can prevent us from getting better both physically and emotionally. Learn what you can do about it.

How To Protect Yourself From Glyphosate Damage to the Gut and Brain with Dr. Zach Bush

Glyphosate is a poisonous chemical known to contribute to the symptoms of autism. It is commonly known to be in such weed killing agents such as Round-Up. Today, this has moved far beyond the dangers of glyphosate being sprayed just in our yards, but is now known to be purposely sprayed on the crops of food that we eat, and is in the water we drink.

Currently, 2 billion kg, (5 million pounds), of glyphosate are used on our soil as an antibiotic and as a drying agent on grains.  As a water soluble chemical, glyphosate finds its way into rivers, lakes, and rainfall which lands everywhere. It is also known now to be found in the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. (Please see the link to my podcast interview with Dr. Stephanie Seneff below for more on this.)

In this interview with triple board certified Doctor Zach Bush, a specialist in the gut microbiome and the cellular communication network, we dive deep to educate you on what glyphosate can do to damage the delicate and protective microbiome in the gut, the digestive lining, kidneys, and brain messengers such as serotonin (for mood stability).

We also show you what you can do to greatly help protect yourself and your family from these dangers. Doctor Bush has created a simple liquid product called Restore that helps to strengthen the integrity of the protective tight junctions in our mucous membranes, so that they are no longer vulnerable to these dangers. It also helps to heal the damage done. Please watch the video for more

Myofunctional Disorders and Sleep Apnea with Barbara Tritz

Have you ever wondered may be contributing to the underlying causes of your child’s sleep disorders or behavioral outbursts? Irritability is one of the first behaviors to show up along with lack of ability to focus. For these reasons children are often mis-labeled with ADHD, or ADD, but this is often due to sleep deprivation.

As a registered dental hygienist for 38 years it was only in the last 5 years that Barbara Tritz, RDH, has become educated and specialized in Myofunctional Disorders and the health and behavioral issues associated with them. Barbara, like all moms, had to find an answer to her own daughter’s digestive issues that arose only after she had her orthodontic braces removed.

What are Myofunctional Disorders?

Myofunctional Disorders are Orofascial, meaning “of the face”. They often relate to disorders in the mouth that create problems with eating, drinking, speaking, and breathing. Dysarthria, tongue thrust, tongue tie, sinus issues, narrow palate, and breathing difficulty can also cause infants, children, and adults to become mouth breathers. When we breathe through our mouths, it effects the palate, jaw, tongue, tonsils, and adenoids. This also effects our ability to sleep deeply. Lack of sleep, or sleep apnea, can create many health and behavioral issues associated with it, including lack of memory, cognitive decline, and irritability and anger.

Studies on Toxins Found in Vaccinations and Solutions Regarding Exemption and Injury

California is the first of the 50 United States to pass a law for mandatory vaccinations. This law, SB 277, requires children to be vaccinated to enter public or private school. Many parents do not realize that they still have a choice, and informed decisions are crucial to the health of their child. There is much documented research on the heavy metals and other toxins in vaccines that cause neurological problems at any age (see studies below). Toxins, when injected, bypass the body’s detoxification pathways, and go directly into tissues and vital organs.

Written Exemptions

Many doctors will write an exemption for vaccinations. The HIPPA privacy policy does not require them to label the reason why. Call around to various doctors, (not necessarily pediatricians), until you find one who will do this for you. Your best bet is a medical doctor who practices holistically. You can find a list at, American Board of Holistic Integrative Medicine (www.abihm.org), or
Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (www.aihm.org).

An Alternative to Exemptions  

Parents are collaborating to home school together. If one mom needs to work on specific days, then the others can fill in. By working together working moms can still do this. It also gives a community of support and keeps your child in a social environment, rather than isolated at home.

How To Create A Positive Dental Experience For Your Child with Autism with Josalyn Sewell

In this post, and others linked to, you will learn some great ideas for parents on how to help guide dental appointments for your child with autism. This is all about how to make a dental appointment a positive experience for the parent and child.

 

Some tips and suggestions for things to do at the office like using a weighted blanket or the use of the dentists heavy lead apron that they use to cover you when you get an x-ray, but you don’t need to have to be getting an x-ray to use it. The weight is very calming for most kids on the autism spectrum. Noise cancelling headphones can also be helpful.

There are several toys, weighted blankets, head phones, and more in my podcast page where I interview sensory processing expert Lindsey Biel, on Sensory Processing Disorders to help you and your dentist to have a greater understanding about what is going on with your child and what they can do. These home-care tips can be used in the dentists office too, as well as helping the dental office to prep for the child’s visit.
