A Story of Hope | “My Son’s Diagnosis Was Removed”

We occasionally get letters or comments from parents that have seen improvements in health with diet. To help provide hope to so many still in the trenches, I’ve decided to make more of an effort to share some these comments (with their permission, of course). Many of us don’t have it all figured out, but we cling to the hope and words of progress. Everyone’s journey is different, diet changes may not reap huge changes for all, but it is absolutely helping some. Like this family, glutamate and diet have been a huge piece to our puzzle. [...]

Autism & Sensory Processing Disorder

Autism & Sensory Processing Disorder

This is not a comprehensive list, simply some articles I have found along the way. See immune function, mitochondrial dysfunction, microbial imbalances, seizures, ADHD, speech & language, movement disorders, sensory processing disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, methylation, metals, and EMF’s tab for additional information related to glutamate and autism. Favorite article on the role of glutamate in autism: http://www.holistichelp.net/blog/how-to-increase-gaba-and-balance-glutamate/ Great article linking autism symptoms to excess glutamate and glutamate dysfunction: http://www.ageofautism.com/2011/03/autism-and-glutamate-dysfunction-avoid-the-cause-race-to-the-cure.html Amazing flowchart on how free glutamate affects autism spectrum disorder, by Carol Hoernlein of MSG Truth http://www.msgtruth.org/images/Theory%20of%20Autism-Simplified.pdf Here is a great video on methylation and the role of glutamate in [...]

Why Are More Males Affected With Autism?

Why Are More Males Affected With Autism?

While there are many theories on this, I found the glutamate and immune activation connection to be the most interesting. Often you will hear children with autism have experienced some sort of trauma (prematurity, stroke, etc.) or substantial changes to immune function, leading to immune activation (vaccines, illness, and it is now linked that mothers immune activation can trigger immune activation within the fetus, and so on) that parents believe may have triggered or caused their autism. Both trauma and immune activation cause an increase in glutamate. “It was initially thought that autistic children had fewer glutamate [...]
