now in this video I’m going to talk about autism and what I personally would

recommend to parents who have a child who developed autism now there are

certain things that unfortunately I can’t really talk about for various

reasons related to this topic so I’m going to keep this fairly basic but this

is what I would recommend for a child who is suffering from autism first

question is what is different about an autistic brain in a normal brain one big

thing is this there’s a defect in autophagy autophagy is a condition where

the cells are cleaning up old damaged proteins it’s like a recycler so if

there’s a defect in the ability to clean up damaged brain tissue or waste

products in the brain or some by-product in the brain that shouldn’t be there it

can leave the brain overly excited and create a lot of cognitive problems

there’s also a high incident of low vitamin D in autistic children low

folate which by the way low folate allows the cells to be damaged very

easily because folate helps protect the DNA from being damaged so you having a

lot of damage in the brain and a lot of free radical damage and oxidative stress

you’re also getting some dysfunction in the myelin that’s the outer covering

around the nerves and brain neurons so we’re getting a dysfunction of that

myelin and there’s usually always are we related intestinal problem with these

kids over 90% of the time they have big swollen bellies now there’s actually a

connection between the digestive system and the brain it’s called the vagus

nerve and the vagus nerve works like this the information going down to the

gut from the brain there’s only 10% the information coming from the gut to the

brain is like 90% so the freeway brings a lot of information from the gut

up to the brain so I really think there’s this missing connection in the

gut that needs to be restored which could be contributing to a lot of

problems in the cognitive area now one thing that is known is that a lot of

symptoms do occur after breastfeeding when the child is put on formula however

a lot of kids get autism roughly about age four but sometimes they get it

earlier now in these formulas they have a lot of things that children can be

allergic to from soy from the protein in the milk like casein to all sorts of

other chemicals not to mention the glucose and the sugar and all the other

things they put in there so the first recommendation I want to say is try to

breastfeed your child as long as possible okay I’m not talking about till

age 16 I’m just talking about a few years okay

next thing is that you must read gluten from the diet you are probably already

doing this but gluten just literally tears up the gut in these children and

creates all sorts of inflammatory responses and that can actually greatly

affect the brain chemistry next one rid casein it’s a very common allergy and a

lot of times they put this in the formula you want to avoid gluten and

encasing okay grains and milk products you may find a huge benefit just from

that alone next thing you want to do some type of detox for heavy metals

specifically mercury you can watch other videos on that but mainly I want to just

talk about what remedy I would recommend is silica so look there’s a really good

natural remedy to kind of counter that selenium is also one as well in fact

this is essential selenium will bind to a certain protein

and act as a very powerful antioxidant and it will help to lower the effects

the negative effects from heavy metals especially mercury zinc is essential for

certain parts of the brain to function especially those one

that are involved with autistic behavior the next thing is essential and if you

don’t know about this you need to study up on it putting your child on the

healthy keto plan why because we know there’s damage in the brain so you must

use an alternative fuel I would definitely recommend also exogenous

ketones and MCT oil for sure you can watch my videos on that but going on a

keto plan a low carb diet will allow the brain finally to get fed so ketones can

bypass the damaged part and feed the neurons directly glucose cannot do that

so this is very very important and you’ll probably see huge changes just from that

alone now as far as fasting goes it’s very difficult to have a small child

fast but at the very minimum maybe you just do three meals and no snacks that

would be very beneficial because of the benefits of fasting on your brain are

huge you can actually regrow new neurons when your fasting and maybe you just do

two huge meals that are very nutrient dense and that might work as well you

want to have this child consuming nutrient-dense foods it might be very

difficult so you might have to do some type of powdered green drink because a

lot of times they don’t like eating vegetables but they need the folate okay

also they need a vitamin D vitamin D is really important in the brain it’s

essential for the immune system and there’s a lot of inflammation going on

in the brain as well also a vitamin C is very important and I’m not talking about

synthetic ascorbic acid I’m talking about the full vitamin C complex very

very very important if you have not seen my other video on the brain and brain

chemistry and what to do to support a healthy brain I put it right here check
