Alternative therapies for autism
This page is designed to help you find help and solutions that improve the symptoms of autism. You can use this reference page to explore many and diverse therapies that have helped others. New products and theories appear all the time.
There are many different therapies that have helped many people with “mental issues” ranging from ADD/ADHD/autism to depression and even schizophrenia. Some (such as EEG Biofeedback (also known as Neurofeedback (NFB)) or End Point Titration (EPT) or Hyperbaric (oxygen tanks), etc., which now have cheap alternatives, are not included. Google these “names” if information is desired about them is.
C. Liquid Zeolite: A newer method taken by mouth (and relatively expensive). This is actually a form of lava rock that is very porous, and this porosity attracts heavy metals (mercury, lead, copper, etc.), binds to them, and carries them out through the urinary/renal pathway. The reports are excellent, but it is marketed through a kind of MultiLevelMarketing (MLM) scheme that makes it more expensive. The base retail price is about $50, but if you become a distributor, it drops to $33 or so. You can get more details by Googling “zeolite”.
D. Glutathione Supplements: There is a (new to me) supplement specifically designed to increase glutathione levels in the body. Glutathione is a natural combination of amino acids that is a powerful antioxidant with several other interesting properties:
It is an important part of the immune system that is often overlooked by scientists. Glutathione detoxifies the body by drawing out toxins, including mercury and other toxic minerals. (Similar to chelation therapy, but with most other toxins and minerals.) It is not well absorbed when taken as a direct supplement. This is important because there are many supplements containing glutathione that are generally ineffective.
Low levels of glutathione are found in all autistic children, as well as many other sick or toxic individuals. These low levels do not allow for proper excretion. This explains why hair, blood and urine tests of mercury (and other minerals) do not accurately show what is stored in the body.
