Smart Cookies step by step biomedical intervention

Smart Cookiesstep by step biomedical intervention

• Biomedical intervention involves
• Working out what is different in the
  biochemistry of an ASD individual
• Biochemical abnormalities disrupt brain
  chemistry and lead to ASD symptoms
• Treating abnormalities can improve behaviour,
  social ability, anxiety, reflux, hearing,
  infections, quality of life. Improves response
  to learning techniques, psychology and speech
  therapy.
• Abnormalities run in families but lead to
  different symptoms fatigue, ADHD, arthritis,
  depression, bowel and hormonal problems.

2
Preliminary Pathology tests

• Urine amino/ organic acid tests
• Faecal microbial analysis
• IgG 93 food allergy panel
• Other tests can be done after these issues are
  addressed and a nutritious well balanced diet has
  been maintained for around 9 weeks
• - e.g. Metallothionein, IgA/ IgE, DPPIV, heavy
  metals, liver detoxification profile
• Metabolic profile will change with adequate
  nutrition and good gut bugs.

3
Urine organic/ amino acids

• Indicate obvious genetic disease
• (e.g. Phenylketonuria)
• Indicate protein malnutrition/ kidney problems/
  extent of infections
• Done by most pathology labs in Australia

4
Faecal Microbial Analysis

• Find out what is living in the gut most ASD
  individuals and other family members have
  abnormal flora
• BIOSCREEN www.bioscreenmedical.com
• Test includes anaerobes and pathogens not
  assessed by other labs.
• Common problems Clostridium, Streptococcus,
  Candida
• Produce nerve toxins, auto-antibodies, alcohol,
  toxins that disrupt brain function. Can induce
  ASD symptoms in mice.
• Treat with a combination of antibiotics and
  antifungals to prevent colitis and worsening of
  the problem. A die off reaction will be seen.
  Specifically treat spore formers like
  Clostridium.
• Put good bugs back into the gut
• Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, E.coli DAIRY FREE
  probiotics
• Feed them good food!!!

5
IgG food Allergy Panel

• Food allergies need to be addressed at the same
  time as gut bugs.
• Bad bugs kept away by secretary IgA antibodies -
  low levels found in ASD individuals and families
• Secretary IgA is not produced if IgG antibodies
  are present in the blood
• IgG antibodies normally fight pathogens inside
  the blood can be generated to different foods
  when gut is compromised.
• Eliminating IgG foods and IgG triggering bugs
  will allow secretary IgA production and gut
  protection.
• Secretary IgA can be stimulated with probiotics
• BAD BUGS WONT GROW BACK !!!
• ARL Analytical Reference Laboratories
  www.arlaus.com.au
• Best not to send overseas for this test
• Changing diet before fixing gut bugs encourages
  allergy to develop to new foods
• Most common allergies milk, wheat, soy, eggs,
  cola, yeast
• Also in other family members with different
  health problems (ADHD, weight problems,
  depression, fatigue) runs in families!!!

More on immune dysfunction

• High IgG antibody levels cause autoimmune
  diseases (e.g. arthritis, diabetes, MS).
• Auto-antibodies to milk and Streptococcus toxins
  may attack brain cells in ASD
• IgG levels increased by vaccine link between
  vaccine, autoimmune diseases and ASD
• Wastes zinc and amino acids, impairs liver
  function
• Imbalance in sIgA/IgG possibly occurred at birth
  if IgG was triggered in baby before good bugs
  were introduced sIgA switched off/ IgG switched
  on
• Vaccine could then be final assault to trigger
  autoimmune disease.
• Predisposition to autoimmune disease in families
  Prospective mums should get their allergies
  tested!!!

7
Diet/ Nutrition

• Poor stomach acid, bile flow, digestive enzymes
  and increased gut permeability effects
  nutritional status and digestion
• Incompletely digested proteins from gluten (found
  in wheat, oats, rye, barley, spelt, triticale)
  and casein (in all dairy products) have a similar
  chemical structure to natural neurohormones
  otherwise called opiates/ endorphins (like
  heroin/morphine)
• Very potent small amount makes you feel elated,
  large amount bombards senses and switches off
  some brain signals leads to social deficit
  problems, lack of creative play etc.
• Inhibits pain response increases stimming and
  self harming behaviours.
• Addictive!!! You will get withdrawal reaction
  from avoiding them be strict and be wary of
  play dough, toothpaste, pet food.
• Read Dr Shaws book on line or order it from
• www.greatplainslaboratory.com
• Mostly avoiding gluten/ dairy and IgG allergens
  is not good enough
• a little goes a long way

8
Chemical and food sensitivity

• Toxic assault from chemicals and heavy metals may
  trigger ASD
• All ASD individuals are sensitive to chemicals
  and have poor liver detoxification
• Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome in adults
  exposed to workplace chemicals triggers
  development of ASD symptoms.
• Chemicals are nasty - keep perfumes, natural gas,
  pyrethroids, treated pine, solvents, chlorine out
  of the house!!!
• Natural and artificial chemicals in food need to
  be avoided during the 9 weeks and during other
  biomedical intervention protocols to reduce side
  effects.
• Salicylates, amines, MSG, colours, flavours,
  preservatives all require detoxification
  processes that do not work well in ASD.
• Salicylates can act like adrenaline and trigger
  behavioural problems they deplete zinc,
  increase gut permeability, reduce sulphation and
  induce hearing and auditory processing problems
  can effect speech
• Amines can act like dopamine and trigger
  addiction/ behavioural problems
• Chemical sensitivity can be reduced by specific
  minerals and amino acids once a balanced diet is
  in place

Basic Nutrition/ supplementation

• Blood sugar disorders
• Come with poor liver function. A high starch/
  sugar, high GI diet can increase hyperactivity
  and seizures in epilepsy
• Avoid eating everything made from rice!!!
• Ensure enough protein and fiber is eaten
• Meat is important on a low allergy diet. Choose
  nutritious flours like bean flour, amaranth and
  quinoa
• Supplements are important but not harmless
• Fish oil, cod liver oil, multivitamins, minerals,
  probiotics are good but do not provide protein,
  amino acids and fiber essential to good health.
  High levels of some vitamins can cause serious
  side effects.
• There is no magic pill avoid quack formulas
  that offer unrealistic outcomes

10
Conclusions

• Consider the order of your biomedical
  intervention
• improve health and you will improve outcomes
• Rule out genetic disease with amino/organic acid
  tests
• Assess and address gut bugs
• Investigate and eliminate IgG food allergies
• Eliminate gluten and dairy products
• Remove environmental toxins
• Learn about food chemicals
• Design a nutritious low GI diet
• Add some good supplements to improve nutritional
  status
• Assess other interventions when behaviour and
  health have improved
