A Gluten Free Diet Can Affect Autism!

Autistic children often have lower levels of detoxification enzymes and antioxidants and may therefore be more susceptible to environmental toxins and food chemicals such as gluteus. Autistic children have significantly lower mean levels of detoxification/antioxidant enzymes making it much more difficult to break down glutens. There is no universal treatment for autism, but treatment programs and diets should address the three systems of the body that are compromised in autism which is the immune system, nervous system and digestive system.The triggers of this disease are on the rise. More susceptible kids come in contact with triggers such as gluten. Kids exposed to toxins such as mercury, lead, pesticides, and second hand smoke have higher levels of autism. Some studies have reported many nutritional deficiencies in autism patients. Numerous studies have reported that supplemental nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, vitamins, and magnesium may provide moderate benefits to autism patients. Avoidance of glutens and other food chemicals may also provide some relief to autism patients. Evaluate the Diet Rebalance the nervous System Improve Intestinal Health Allergies and intolerances to food and food additives may also play a role in autism. Elimination of potentially allergenic foods such as gluten has been tried on autistic children with mixed results. A Norwegian study found that 10 children with autism on a gluten-free diet for 1 year improved on autistic traits, cognition, and motor skills to a much greater extent than 10 children given a standard diet. Other studies have reported that children with autism have a significantly higher rate of increased intestinal permeability (”leaky gut syndrome”) compared to controls.I read that some researchers have suggested that oral probiotic bacteria supplements may be helpful in treating autism. The effect of refined sugar, food additives and gluten on autism patients is controversial, some studies showing that sugar and food additives can trigger worsened autism symptoms. A review of 16 studies with autism children found that sugar challenges were associated with worsened symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity in 4 studies, little change in 11 studies, and improvement in Autism symptoms in 1 study. Diets free of food coloring, food preservatives, and gluten have been widely used to treat children with autism since they were introduced in the 1970s. I also read that a meta-analysis of 15 double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in patients with autism reported that artificial colors such as tartrazine significantly increased autism symptoms. Of the 15 individual studies, 5 stated that food colors and gluten were associated with significantly increased autism symptoms, 8 showed that food colors and gluten were associated with no significant increases in autism symptoms, and 2 showed that food colors an gluten were associated with no significant decreases in autism symptoms.Besides gluten and food colors, other dietary components that could possibly worsen autism symptoms include food preservatives such as benzoate, nitrates, and monosodium glutamate as well as food that naturally contains salicylates (such as almonds, oranges, raspberries, apples, cherries, grapes, peaches, strawberries, cucumbers, plums, and tomatoes).Autism appears to involve a broad range of genetic, prenatal, social, developmental, nutritional, and environmental factors and it is unlikely that only 1 single cause will be found for either disorder. Multiple treatment modalities are probably needed to treat patients with autism and may include nutritional, environmental, pharmacologic, and psychosocial interventions.All children born to this wonderful planet have obstacles to overcome. To children with autism, these obstacles may appear more difficult. These beautiful and wonderful children require tender coaxing back into the world so that they might experience the magnificence that life has to offer.Authors:Andrew Van Vooren, a husband and family man whom firmly believes in natural colic remedies for infants.

Natural Cures - 9 Health Problems That Can Be Treated Using Pyramid Energy

The interest in natural cures is on the rise. More today than ever before. Just as “going green” is the big buzzword for clean energy, and organic is the buzzword for fresh food, natural cures or natural home remedies are just as big now.Below I have listed 9 basic health problems that can be treated using natural, clean energy that can be obtained from pyramids. Before you think that I am a new age freak or some sort of a kook (I might be a kook, kooky-freak, freaky-kook, etc…) for believing in pyramids, please hear me out.First, everyone knows that natural sunlight is good for us. We also know that certain types of light, like ultra-violet light actually kills bacteria and that electromagnetism promises health benefits as well.Pyramid energy over the years has shown to be beneficial to mankind in many ways. It has to do with the solar activity, electro magnetism, the benefits of prismatic or UV light due to the slope angle of the walls or architectural design of pyramids.Pyramids can preserve meat, turn milk into yogurt, sharpen knives and offer many other benefits as well that fall under the category of natural cures or natural home remedies. When Kirlian photography is used, corona discharges are even present just like all living things that are photographed using this technique.I have heard that even NASA has tested and experimented with them. Pyramid space is VERY SPECIAL SPACE! Even our stealth bomber’s design has all kinds of pyramid-type angles that allow it to be invisible to enemy radar. Here below are some health benefits of pyramid energy:1.) Poor Eyesight - there are courses available that work on strengthening the muscles that shape the eye. The correct shape of the eye is what brings it into focus. Pyramid energy has reportedly helped people to improve their vision.2.) Hearing - some basic hearing problems could be improved and sharpened through this free amazing energy.3.) Acid Reflux Disease - digesting your food can get harder as you get older. And young people as well as older people have had trouble with acid reflux. I know from first had experience that pyramids make the stomach’s digestion process become active.4.) Insomnia - millions of Americans suffer from lack of sleep. The soothing of the brain and the relaxation of the legs can help solve this symptom. I slept very well having my large pyramid next to our bed when we had a larger bedroom at one time.5.) Chronic Pain, Arthritis - I saw slides in church from a missionary man stationed in South America that had chronic back pain. He got relief from sleeping in a pyramid that a native man of that region had built.6.) High Blood Pressure - also called hypertension, the number one killer supposedly can be lowered just as meditation is used to lower blood pressure. The secret is stress release.7.) Cavities and Gum Disease - cavities are caused from bacteria. Certain light kills bacteria just like the ultraviolet light used in barber shops to clean combs and scissors. Licorice root has also just been discovered to cure the bacteria that causes cavities. I have also had success curing cavities using pyramid energy. Hopefully, even gum disease can be treated.8.) Stop Acne, Zits - zits die in their tracks. This works great. I energized Vaseline which I keep in a smaller pyramid. If you rub a little on a zit that won’t pop, the whitehead turns black and goes away. Again, it has to do with light or pyramid energy that kills bacteria.9.) Heal Sores and Broken Bones Faster - I used to drive a milk truck and had to work 14 - 15 hour days. The winter weather and the wet road dirt from handling milk crates all day gave me severe open cuts around my finger nails that were extremely sore if I even lightly pressed on them. I was able to heal the extreme soreness overnight with pyramid energized Vaseline.My cats almost went vegetarian. They used to be chronic about getting into the garbage for chicken bones. After I built my indoor pyramid they only ate their dry cat food. I heard of a a similar story about a dog becoming a vegetarian after his owner built a pyramid doghouse for it to sleep in.Every home today needs a natural cure healing center. Just as every home today is not complete without a computer and the internet, no home should be without a free green energy source like pyramids can offer.—Lee Cusano has been involved with pyramid energy for over 20 years. He has discovered first hand how they can be beneficial to mankind. Lee offers a free report titled “The Real Secret To Long Life”.
