Taurine is a calming neurotransmitter, and
GABA is the “good” neurotransmitter. Together, when used at the right dose and timing, they usually stabilize mood about 90% of the time. Further tweaking can be done based on neu- rotransmitter test results. The goal is to increase the neurotransmit-
ters that are low and decrease those that are too high. Activated B12 (Methylcobalamin) given as an injectable, bypasses the gut, passes through the blood-brain barrier, and goes to the brain to do what they are supposed to do. MethylB12 by itself can alleviate mood swings, depression, and anxiety. On some occasions, if above measures
have been exhausted, prescription medications may have to be administered. You will need to consult a “seasoned” Autism Specialist to be able to achieve the best outcome.
Treating the Gut
As Dr. Michael Gershon’s book says, “the gut is the second brain.” The precursors of our neurotransmitters originate from the gut. They have to be activated by the beneficial bacteria and B12 before they get to the brain where they are utilized. Healing the gut should be ad- dressed on the first visit. This starts with GFCF diet, probiotics, zinc, colostrum, anti-fungals, digestive enzymes and sometimes Betaine Hcl. If ova and parasites are revealed by the stool tests, they have to be treated usually for a lon- ger period of time than ordinarily treated, even if the parasites are known to be non-virulent. For yeast, however, stool cultures and yeast markers may not be positive for about 40% of the time. In these cases, the best way to know if there is overwhelming yeast infection is to try the 7 different antifungals. Yeast is hard to grow in a culture medium; therefore if they do not grow in a petri-dish, it doesn’t mean there is no yeast infection.
Restore and Replenish
The Individualized Optimum Nutrition (ION profile) urine and blood test mentioned above reveals the levels of fatty acids, amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins and intracellular minerals. Deficiencies should be replaced ac- cordingly. Nutrition is the key to metabolism. If some essential nutrients are deficient, certain metabolic pathways cannot function effectively. If some nutrients are too high, they may exert a negative feedback effect, limiting the produc- tion of certain substances. Many times, en- zymes are mutated or dysfunctional, disabling the metabolic pathway. In these cases, we may have to bypass
these pathways and provide activated vitamins and nutrients such as methyltetrahydrofolate
