Epidural,
Pitocin, MAO-A Theory of Autism May
13. 2011. This brilliant
theory by researcher, Elaine DeLack, hypothesizes that insufficent
levels of Monoamine Oxidase-A (an enzyme in the brain and liver) may
be the initial trigger for autism. This theory connects many of
the dots in the autism puzzle including such factors as genetic
predisposition, vaccines, allergies, social deficits, and now the role
epidurals and pitocin may play in the unrelenting increase in the
incidence of autism.

Autism
Rate Now 1 in 10 Boys? May
13. 2011. The incidence of
autism may be much higher than previously thought in the United States
and elsewhere in the world, according to a rigorous, comprehensive
study of the condition conducted in South Korea, researchers reported
Monday.
In the first study to take a
broad-population look at the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders
. types of autism ranging from severe symptoms to the milder
Asperger's syndrome . researchers found a rate of 2.64 percent among
South Korean children. That's 1 in 38 children, a rate far higher than
the estimate of 1 in 110 children for the U.S. by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
Because the incidence of autism is
approximately four times greater in boys than girls, the rate of
symptoms of autism would be approximately 1 in 10 boys. More
Autism
Parent Survey
Thanks to
everyone who generously shared their heartfelt stories in our autism survey as to what parents and caregivers believe may have
triggered their child's autism. I apologize
for the delay in posting the data and will do so over the next couple
of months.
A few years ago, Autism
Coach conducted the same survey. The old survey results may be viewed by
clicking here.
Evidently, no-one had bothered to ask parents what they thought caused
their child's autism and this survey was included in the Wikipedia entry
for Autism for several years.

Drugs
in U.S. Drinking Water
March 10, 2008.
Associated Press investigative reporters have found a vast array of pharmaceuticals in the
country's treated drinking water, including antibiotics, anti-convulsants,
acetominophen, ibuprofen, mood stabilizers, and sex hormones in the
drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans. These
concentrations are measured in parts per billion, but the their presence
is worrying scientists about their long-term consequences. Individuals
within the autism spectrum are particularly sensitive

Why
is there virtually no Autism in the U.S. Amish communities?
In a ground-breaking piece of investigative journalism
published in the June 30-July 14, 2005 issue of Rolling Stone magazine,
the noted environmental activist, author, and radio show commentator,
Robert Kennedy Jr., about how public officials fudged numbers and refused to
release the epidemiological raw data conclusively proving that
vaccines caused an epidemic of autism in the United States.
Kennedy also
noted that the mercury-based preservative, thimerisol, is still being
allowed in pediatric flu vaccines, other pharmaceutical products, and in
vaccines shipped abroad, causing millions of children in around the
world to develop autism (including 1.3 million children in China alone,
where autism did not exist until they started receiving vaccines).
In an independent study of autism amongst an Amish population in the
United States which does not allow vaccinations, there is virtually no
autism - of the four Amish children out of the entire population studied
who were diagnosed autistic, all had been vaccinated, some prior to
adoption. More

Mirror
Neuron Research May Lead to New Treatment for Autism
November, 2007. The latest research
on mirror neurons, published by the Society for Neuroscience, may lead
to new treatments for autism. Mirror
neurons are used to imitate others and acquire language.
When you perform a voluntary action, such as picking up a pencil,
a set of .command. neurons activate.
When you watch someone else pick up a pencil a subset of these
neurons, called . mirror. neurons activate.
It is believed that mirror neurons enable us to learn through
imitation. In autism,
however, the mirror neurons do not typically activate, when observing
activity, leading to the implication that people with autism primarily
learn by doing and do not tend to learn by watching others. The
latest research includes retraining the brain to activate the mirror
neurons so that learning by imitation may take place. More

Parent
Survey Indicates Enzymes
Benefit Children
According to a survey of 260 parents using
the enzymes, Peptizyde and
Zyme Prime, over a seven month period, 90%
of parents observed sustained behavioral improvements in their children.
Virtually all of these parents saw improvements within two weeks of
starting these enzymes.
Peptizyde breaks down gluten and casein proteins commonly
found in wheat and dairy products. Some experts in autism consider
gluten and casein to be problematic for autistic children.
HN-Zyme Prime is
a complementary broad-spectrum enzyme, which helps to promote proper
digestion and assimilation of all foods, and provides some benefit for
children with phenol sensitivities.
These two enzymes complement each other when used
together and are acceptable for special diets such as
the Gluten Free/Casein Free diet and the Feingold diet.
Peptizyde
and Zyme-Prime are available from Autism Coach.

Independent Study Shows 100 Fold Increase of Glutathione in Neurons

October 26, 2009. A
paper presented by Parkinson's Disease researcher, Gail Zeevalk, at the
Neuroscience Conference in Chicago, attended by over 20,000 researchers
from around the world, shows that our Liposomal
Glutathione increases levels more tha 100 fold compared to any
other form of gluathione testesd. To view the abstract for the paper in
Microsoft Word, click here.
Gluathione is one of the most
potentent natural detoxifiers, helping to remove heavy metals and
other toxins from the body. In a study by Dr. Jill St. James at Arkansas
Children's Hospital, children within the autism spectrum were found to
have significantly lower levels of glutathione than neurotypical
children who also participated in the study. Until now,
glutathione was not absorbed well orally and had been administered intravenously or
absorbed through the skin with trans-dermal cream.
However, our new form of glutathione provides quick and
efficient absorption by enclosing the glutathione molecule within a
tiny membrane called a liposome. Liposomes have been shown to have a 90%
absorption rate. More
A ground-breaking
independent study was conducted using our Liposomal
Glutathione with a special breed of mice genetically engineered to
develop atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). This study
has shown that the Liposomal Glutathione significantly reduced oxidative
stress, blood cholesterol levels and cholesterol deposits in the mice
when taken over a 2 month period. Reducing
oxidative stress is believed help minimize neurological damage in autism
as well. More

Houston Enzymes

We are please to offer the
full product line of Houston Enzymes, the most effective enzymes for
individuals on the autism spectrum, in our opinion. These enzymes
come in capsules that can be swallowed, or the contents of the capsules
opened and mixed into foods, or there are good tasting chewable forms of
these enzymes. The majority of individuals within the autism
spectrum maldigest their food and undigested gluten and casein proteins
can actually form opiates that bind to sites in the brain, interfering
with neurological development. The Houston Peptizyde enzymes help break
apart these proteins so they do not form opiates.
Trienza Chewables provide a
tasty alternative to the popular Trienza which combines three enzymes in
a single supplement: Peptizyde, Zyme Prime, and No-Fenol.
Zyme Prime primarily digests carbohydrates, and fats, and No-Fenol helps
to digest phenloic compounds which can also be problematic for
individuals within the autism spectrum. More

Tried and Tested Flu
Supplement Kit
When my daughter, Amy,
started college away from home last year, and being an overly protective
mother, I sent her to college with supplements to help her fight off
colds and the flu.
In mid-September, one of her friends on campus was quarantined for a
week with what was diagnosed by clinicians at U of M as the
H1N1 influenza, otherwise known as the "Swine Flu." A
day or two after my daughter visited her friend (she visited him the day
before he was quarantined) she started develop flu symptoms, but then
she took the supplements I sent with her, the symptoms went away and she
did not develop the flu! Last year, she stayed cold free most of
the winter while in a dormitory full of students who have travelled
from around the world to attend U of M.
We are offering the
supplements she took as an all-natural Flu Kit.
They include four products: Olive Leaf Extract, Vitamin D3,
Liposomal Gluathione, and our Corn Free Vitamin C crystals. The
glutathione is soy based, everything else is soy free.
Olive Leaf Extract has anti-viral,
anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties and has worked magnificently
for our family over the past year in beating down emerging colds.
If you can afford only one supplement to prevent the flu, this would be
the product I most highly recommend.
There are many studies
showing the VItamin D reduce susceptibility to the flu and the severity
of the flu. Our form of Vitamin
D3 is a form that is more easily used by the body.
Glutathione
and Vitamin C provide a
potent anti-oxidant combination. Glutathione is one of the most
powerful anti-oxidants and supports of the immune system that our bodies
naturally produce.

Flu Kit, click here.
Vitamin
D Theory of Autism
May 1, 2009. According to
Scientific American, one of the latest theories on the cause of autism
is that flagging levels of Vitamin D in pregnant women and young
children could be the elusive factor explaining the rising rate of
autism. Our bodies produce Vitamin D when we are out in the sun,
but those of us who do not expose their skin to direct sun light or have
more darkly pigmented skin living in northern or cloudy areas may not be manufacturing enough Vitamin
D. Some researchers theorize that supplementing with
Vitamin D may help improve symptoms of autism. To view the
Scientific American article, click
here.
Vitamin
D3

We are now offering a high quality form
of Vitamin D, in the more absorbable form of Vitamin D3.
Supplementation of Vitamin D in individuals deficient in Vitamin D may
improve symptoms of autism. Vitamin D, in
doses of 2000 IU or more has anti-viral properties and has demonstrated
ability to prevent and fight the flu. More

Alpha
GPC for Brain Connectivity

Alpha GPC is a phospholipid metabolite found
concentrated in neuronal membranes. Alpha GPC supports brain function and learning processes by
directly increasing the synthesis and secretion of acetylcholine. Alpha
GPC protects neurons and improves signal transmission by serving as a
precursor to membrane phospholipids. Strengthening
the membranes encasing the neurons increases the speed and accuracy with
which information is transmitted, reducing timing delays and reducing
distortion of signals. Sensory distortion and timing delays are
believed to be the amongst the root causes of autism. The better
neurologically connected, the fewer the symptoms.

Citicoline Scientifically Proven to Increase Energy Supply in
Brain

We are pleased to offer Citicholine,
a supplement that has been extensively tested by scientists and shown to improve brain function in people of all
ages.
In a study conducted in 2007 at McClean
Hospital in Belmont, Massachussetts, Dr. Perry Renshaw showed that
Citicholine improved brain function in middle aged people. The
researchers took a group of volunteers and put them in an MRI to measure
the energy needed to make our brains work. Then they told the volunteers
to take Citicoline every day. After six weeks the volunteers were put
back into the MRI to see if there were any changes. "The
unanticipated and somewhat remarkable result that we found was that the
brain energy supply... is actually increased in critical brain regions
by this supplement," said Renshaw. More
Special Supplements for Your Child

Detoxification Supplements
Based on current research in autism
indicating that heavy metal toxicity may be a primary cause of
autism,
Autism Coach offers
several supplements that promote the removal of heavy metals. Our Liquid
Liposome-Enclosed Glutathione provides a 90% absorption rate of this
powerful anti-oxidant. Raising levels of glutathione supports methylation which is one of the primary metabolic
pathways used by the body to detoxify. We are also offering Folinic
Acid as a separate supplement to support methylation and stimualte
the production of dopamine. Herbal
Detoxifier includes alpha
lipoic acid, which binds to heavy metals, and milk thistle, which helps
to ensure these metals are removed from the body. Pro-C.
provides a high dose of vitamin C which helps to
unbind and remove heavy metals in a form buffered
with zinc, calcium and magnesium to be easier on the stomach, in
combination with other potent antioxidants. Another new supplement
is Cal-Mag
Butyrate , which includes butyric acid, a precursor to the brain's primary
calming neurotransmitter, GABA, which is frequently deficient in
autistic children.
Phosphatidyl Serine
Phophosphatidyl Serine is
a supplement that helps to regenerate damaged nerve cells, reverse defects in nerve cell message
transmission, and establish new receptor sites in the brain.
Phosphatidyl Serine benefits memory, learning, concentration, mood, alertness,
sociability, and improved reaction time.

We are pleased to offer two of the
highest quality probiotics on the market, Culturelle,
a potent form of Lactobacillus, and Saccharomyces
boulardii. Both of these probiotics populate the
intestinal tract, crowd out pathogenic organisms and pathogenic forms
of yeast, such as Candida, and support normalization of intestinal
function.
We are also offering Vinpocetine,
a supplement that has long been used in Europe and Japan for
neurological support but is not as widely known within the U.S. There
are many studies supporting the neuro-protective properties of
Vinpocetine and the observation of improved cognitive functioning.
My family has used this for several years - this was one of the
supplements that seems to work especially well for our son - where we
could see a noticeable improvement in alertness. We have found it
to provide optimal neurological support, when taken with natural
licorice, such as our new Licorice Syrup.
Studies have shown that licorice has many beneficial properties,
supporting the production of hormones in the intestinal tract and brain,
including secretin. It also has anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and
anti-inflammatory properties.

Chlorella
supports detoxification and elimination of heavy metals. It also provides beneficial nutrients. Our Yaeyama
Chlorella is amongst the the purest forms available. In our
years of trying different brands of Chlorella and green algae products -
we have found this particular chlorella to possibly be the most
effective we have used.

Our Co-Q10 is
another supplement that has been consistently shown to provide
immune-system and neurological support over the years through studies
and use within the autism community. We offer a high-quality,
high-potency form to provide optimal benefit.

Most Vitamin C that is an added to
supplements and food products is derived from corn. Our
corn-free form of Vitamin C
is a water-soluble powder. This product would work well mixed in orange
juice (or another citrus drink) in combination with our liquid Liquid
Liposomal Glutathione to support detoxification.
