Excitotoxicity In Children With Autism Exacerbated By Heavy Metal Toxins [Episode 145]

from Naturally Recovering Autism with Karen Thomas · host Karen Thomas, Founder, CEO

What is Excitotoxicity? Excitotoxins are toxins that will excite the neurons in your brain. They can also be referred to as neurotoxins because they damage and destroy the brain and spinal cord. What most people do not realize is that these toxins are in the foods they commonly eaten every day. The problem with these toxins is that they will excite brain cells to death. They literally die. This causes the brain to secrete glutamate and aspartate (excitotoxins), which cause negative behavioral changes. This can cause faulty wiring of the brain, especially during its developmental stage... What is Glutamate? Glutamate is an amino acid and a neurotransmitter for the brain. It helps stimulate brain cells, which help neurons to communicate. It all sounds good until it is too much of a good thing. When these neurons get over-excited, it can cause seizures and even kill brain cells... Click Here or Click the link below for more details! https://naturallyrecoveringautism.com/145
