For years parents of children with autism have used a variety of vitamins and minerals to help improve their children's symptoms with great success. Studies suggest that intestinal disorders and chronic gastrointestinal inflammation may reduce the absorption of essential nutrients and cause disruptions in immune and general metabolic functions that are dependent upon these essential nutrients. Further, when our biological terrain is overloaded with toxins, our bodies become deficient in minerals and enzymes deficiencies which interfere with the functioning of our vital force.
80% of us are deficient in magnesium and this is needed to make vitamin B effective – a vitamin in which most children with ASD are deficient in. In several studies on the use of vitamin B and magnesium, almost half of the individuals with autism showed improvement. The benefits include decreased behavioral problems, improved eye contact, better attention span, and improvements in learning.
Sea plants are 10-20 times more nutrient dense than land based plants and that is why choosing the correct supplement is important in helping to correct mineral imbalances in the body, particularly with children on the autism spectrum.
At Healing 4 Soul, we use Original Quinton Seawater minerals. These minerals are harvested from a unique plankton bloom in the Atlantic ocean in France, which is the highest area of biological activity in the Atlantic.
We start children with autism on the Original Quinton formula and we have them take one vial in the morning and one vial in the evening – both on an empty stomach for two weeks. This does such a phenomenal job in rebalancing minerals that we receive phone calls stating how much children have improved! Long-term, these minerals support the biological terrain, which is the space in between cells, where most of our body functions are either carried out or supported. This means improved cellular nutrition, detoxification, natural re-hydration, immune system support and intestinal support.
After the initial two weeks on Quinton, we can determine if the person is ready to begin CEASE Therapy. If so, systematic homeopathic protocols and supplements will help to detoxify, rebuild beneficial bacteria and help to address some of the underlying issues for the child’s autism to restore balance.
Some parents elect to utilize infrared sauna for their children with autism and that is strongly recommended, however, please be sure to replenish lost minerals by taking Original Quinton minerals before and after the sauna.
