Treating autism- the recovery- involves a lot of factors. You must prevent triggering autoimmune reactions and upsetting the gut, by removing environmental antigens. You must normalize the bacteria imbalance in order to restore the ecology of the gut, provide specific nutrients to repair and optimize cellular structures and function, investigate and treat the PANDAS symptoms if necessary. You must chelate heavy metals preferably with chelating nutrients which work slower than chelating drugs but have no side- effects. It is important that you help the child learn functional communication and promote adaptive living skills by introducing behavioral intervention. When the child has recovered sufficiently conduct QEEG to determine brain function. Exercises that promote cerebellar/motor cortex communication and optimization must be prescribed, also neurotherapy is needed to redress abnormal brain patterns, and reading and speech therapy must be initiated. There were made researches which reached at the conclusion that there exists a relationship between maternal diet and the birth of an affected infant. It was seen that folic acid may prevent the majority of neural tube defects. This is a soluble vitamin, which can be found in many fruits, leafy green vegetables, cereals and legumes. It was seen that women who have one infant with a neural tube defect have an increased risk of recurrence, and studies also showed that a 72% reduction in risk of recurrence is obtained by periconceptional folic acid supplementation. Seems that primary occurrences of neural tube defects may also be prevented by folic acid either as a supplement or in the diet. Also, a randomised controlled trial discovered that a multivitamin supplement containing 800mcg folic acid was effective in reducing the occurrence of neural tube defects in first births. Studies showed that 800 mcg of folic acid may prevent neural tube defects and Down Syndrome in Northern Europe where the ultra violet (UV) radiation is low, but in other regions, where UV radiation is higher, this may not be effective. Seems that white skinned people are more prone to folic acid being destroyed in subcutaneous tissues by UV, and that is why people in the high UV regions of the world are dark skinned, and the melanin pigment filters UV and affords protection against folic acid being destroyed. It is known that on the active transport of folate across the blood-brain barrier normal brain development and function depends. Some studies that were made support the contention that normal methylation is vitally important for the prevention and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders and autism as well.
