In this edition we are going to talk about supplementing diets with vitamins and minerals to help relieve autistic symptoms.
Did you know that:
The Southwest Autism Research Center studied 400 people with autism over thirty years ago. Of those people, 48% had chronic diarrhea or constipation, conditions that prevent the body from properly absorbing nutrients.
Dr. Emar Vogelaar studied 20 children with autism in August of 2000 and found that over 50% of them were deficient in vitamins A, B1, B3, B5, biotin, selenium, zinc, and magnesium. They were also deficient in amino acids and essential fatty acids.
But when looking at supplements it is important that the information you receive is accurate, as shown by this study...
Dr. William Walsh studied 500 children with autism and found that over 99% of them had a higher Serum Cu:Plasma zinc ratio than was normal. This showed that autistics should avoid taking supplements that contain copper and should take more zinc to improve the immune system.
Many parents all over the world with autistic children have reported that their children's symptoms have improved, as has their general health when certain vitamins and minerals were introduced.
In The Essential Guide To Autism, a book I recommend, there is more in depth information on supplements that are beneficial to children with autism, also strategies and tips on starting up a successful supplement regime.
I hope you have found this information useful.
In the next article we will be covering the best autism treatment options available and what you should know about them.
