The Forbidden Approach to Reversing Autism [Episode #17]

 A whopping 70-80% of the function of our nervous system is input to the brain.  The brain’s output is important as well, of course, and does tell the various parts of the body what to do to maintain optimum function, but the vast majority of its job is to receive information; it’s listening, hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling.  That’s why the connection between the world and our body and our body and our brain is so critical.  And that’s why, when that connection is disrupted, as is the case with autism, things have the potential to go horribly awry.   One in 53 children in Utah today are diagnosed with autism; one in two predicted by the year 2020. One in 20 males born today will be diagnosed with autism.   The team at Teach Autism predicts a 230% increase in adults with autism in the next eight years.   These are some staggering statistics and need to be addressed.   The medical community is addressing them; however, the proposed treatment consists of medications to manage some of the symptoms of autism and behavioral modification therapies to manage, and in essence script, the behavior—what the illness looks like to society.  It does not address the underlying reasons for the disorder; nor does it hope to fix or cure the actual problem at hand.   These are our children we’re talking about—our future.  There has to be a way.   There is.   First of all, the “causes” of autism are many and varied, and are almost always cumulative.  Just as in the case of POTTENGER’S CATS, discussed in an earlier blog post, we are now generations and generations malnourished, exposed to environmental and pharmaceutical toxins, and ultimately, genetically compromised, even from before birth.  Those causes are all things we can be aware of during our years of childbearing.  But what if you already have a child with autism?   There is hope.   I know we talk a lot about “healing and sealing the gut.”  That is because it is the single, most critical aspect of health and healing.  Without a healed and sealed gut, you cannot absorb nutrition; you cannot excrete waste; you cannot fight infection; you cannot restore and rebuild that connection between the world and the body and the body and the brain that needs so badly to take place in an autistic person.   The GAPS diet has helped so many to finally get on the road to recovery, including people with autism.  It takes the dedication and perseverance of the entire family, but it can be done, and has been.  My challenge to you?  I don’t even need to challenge you.  If you are a parent of a child with autism, you will do whatever it takes to get your child well.  Allow us to provide the RESOURCES that can set you on that path today.  Download A Transcript of this Episode: Click Here
