The Different Autism Treatments

This is an interesting article as the different methods, treatments, as well as therapies are discussed in quick detail for those who have children with autism. I found some activities mentioned such as "horse back riding" very interesting and something I did not know of before. Take a look guys! http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/radical-behaviorist/201001/wading-through-the-minefield-autism-treatments

Autism treatment

Science hijacked to support alternative therapies. Researchers' fears about misuse of their work come true Very interesting article http://www.chicagotribune.com/health/chi-autism-science-nov23,0,6519404,full.story

Qigong Massage for Autism treatment

I am a mother and a practitioner and I am looking at taking Qigong Massage for Autism next week. I was wondering if others have tried this or were interested in learning more about it. www.qsti.org is the website. It has some compelling videos of recoveries with young children. The treatment is basically 10-15 minutes a day for 5 months or more. So the parents learn the treatment at home and work with a practitioner once a week. It was developed in Oregon so most likely anyone who is familiar with it would live in that area. I live in Massachusetts so I am in the first class to take this on the east coast. There is an information night next week 8/18 if people are in the greater boston area and want to learn more about this therapy.

L-Arginine, a potential major new factor in autism treatment support

Oxalates, acidic compounds found in foods like spinach, beets, chocolate, peanuts, wheat bran, tea, cashews, pecans, almonds, berries, and many others, can form crystals commonly known as kidney stones. However, less people know that those crystals can have an impact on Autism and Aspergers in children.

Recent studies show that about 36% of children on the autism spectrum have significantly high levels of oxalates. High levels of oxalates could have an impact on motor skills, expressive speech and language, sociability, sleep quality, imagination, anemia, and more.

Hopefully, there are natural ways to lower oxalate levels. Nutritional supplements such as calcium citrate, N-Acetyl glucosamine, Vitamin B6, Probiotics Supplements, Omega-3 fatty acids and L-Arginine could all help to lower oxalate levels.

One of the most popular L-Arginine supplements at Spectrum Supplements is the product called ProArgi-9 Plus. http://www.spectrumsupplements.com/content.asp?node=804&pgid=613&lang=en">Click here for more info about his product.

Dimethylglycine (DMG) and Trimethylglycine(TMG) are a derivative of the amino acid glycine found in beans and liver. DMG and TMG have been reported by thousands of families to be quite beneficial in children with autism and pervasive developmental disorder, and this is why dimethylglycine is often used for http://blog.spectrumsupplements.com/blog/special-needs-children/autism-and-aspergers-in-children/" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-decoration: underline; ">Aspergers in children. DMG and TMG supplements could help with autism behavioral traits such as speech, learning, social skills, eye contact, aggression and depression.

DMG and TMG supplements are popular because they are generally safe, inexpensive and are beneficial in about 50% of people suffering from autism.

TMG provides methyl donors that are often deficient in individuals on the autism spectrum and special needs children. DMG can be formed from TMG upon the loss of one of its methyl groups. However some children tolerate DMG better than TMG.

The way DMG and TMG act is by strengthening the immune system. Those supplements, especially DMG, are also beneficial to reduce seizure activity, a problem sometimes seen in autism and Aspergers in children. Both DMG and TMG supplements intake should be balanced with folic acid and vitamin B12.
