How to Support Spooky2 Rife
Spooky2 was developed in 2013 using the theories of Royal Raymond Rife that appropriate frequencies can help eliminate cancer viruses and pathogens from our bodies. The machine features a comprehensive frequency database to facilitate healing for many health conditions.
This week we feature an interview with Sebastien Mercier who has been using Spooky2 to diagnose and treat Lyme disease. He details how Rife therapy helped him decrease symptoms significantly as he successfully became symptom free.
Spooky2 software is at the core of our powerful and versatile Rife system, capable of controlling up to 126 generators simultaneously and independently. John discusses various transmission modes and hardware as well as giving an introduction to Spooky2. In this episode he also introduces its basic functions.
At a remote healing session, recipients experience deep relaxation, ease of pain and tension relief, emotional reconciliation, spiritual renewal and physical sensations such as heat, coolness, tingling or vibrations.
Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen is a powerful symbol that allows Reiki energy to transcend time and space, making it particularly helpful when dealing with emotional issues.
Aura Cleansing
If your aura seems out-of-balance, online aura cleansing could be just what the doctor ordered! By clearing away negative energies that are hindering your physical, mental and emotional well-being.
If the clairvoyant Keen psychic you speak to senses that your aura needs cleansing, they may recommend an aura healing ritual to return it to its original state of health and harmony. They will guide you through this method that involves visualizing and eliminating unwanted energy from your energy field while attuning to guidance from spirit world or higher self.
Reiki therapy is not only used for detoxing purposes; it can also be used to mend relationships. Reiki energy can soothe emotions so that you can see situations more objectively and appreciate other people’s perspectives on them. Furthermore, it can be used to harmonize relationships among friends, lovers, or family members.
Practitioners believe that electromagnetic fields surrounding our bodies, cells and organs offer new healthy instructions for how they should function. This theory stems from an understanding that our health depends on more than physical matter – its composition plays a significant role.
One way to cleanse your aura is through exposure to natural light. Walking barefoot in nature utilizes earth’s inherent electrical charge to realign our energetic fields and reduce free radicals. A great way to do this is taking a bath using Himalayan salts or crystals like amethyst, larimar, selenite or moonstone into the water and visualizing that energy washing away any negative feelings while giving nourishment for growth in return.
Utilize the Reiki distant healing symbol to send Reiki treatments directly to someone in need of an aura cleansing. As this symbol crosses time and space boundaries, you can send this healing energy anywhere around the globe. To begin using it yourself, write your intention on an index card and place it before yourself before moving your dominant hand over an image to invoke Reiki symbol. Hibiki or intuition may provide additional guidance.
Visualization
Visualization is an emotional remote healing method that uses visualization techniques to bring energy in from within yourself and focus it on positive aspects of life. Visualization may help calm yourself while bringing awareness of positive aspects in your life that you might otherwise overlook, while controlling thoughts and emotions could prove especially useful if dealing with chronic stress or trauma in the past.
Reiki symbols are sacred emblems used by Reiki practitioners to activate and direct universal energy. They may help heal emotional and mental ailments such as anxiety and depression while also increasing intuition and spiritual awareness.
They draw upon ancient Chinese symbols and the principles of reiki, an alternative medicine practiced since early 1900s Japan by Mikao Usui. When using energy healing sessions with Reiki symbols to connect you to universal energy sources and absorb its benefits through your chakras, energy healing sessions help alleviate blockages while restoring balance in your system.
Some of the most well-known reiki symbols include Cho Ku Rei, Sei Hei Ki and Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen. Each offers distinct healing properties. Cho Ku Rei, for example, is widely recognized as being used to increase or decrease one’s Reiki energy. Furthermore, it acts as protection and healing on an earthy level.
Sei Hei Ki is used to address mental and emotional conditions such as fear, anxiety and anger. It works by harmonizing both sides of the brain – logical and creative sides – simultaneously. Furthermore, it can enhance affirmations practices to make them more powerful.
Hon sha zesho nen, or distance healing symbol, can be used to send Reiki energy across distance and time, helping individuals reexamine past events from an enlightened perspective and project healing intentions into the future.
One of the easiest and most powerful ways to use Reiki is visualization. This simple practice can have immense advantages for both physical and emotional well-being, and even help connect you to loved ones who may not be physically present – simply write their name on paper with a brief account of what happened, draw a distant healing symbol over it, and send Reiki in their direction.
Mantra
Many people find that using mantra as an emotional remote healing technique produces remarkable results. A mantra is any sound repeated aloud or silently over and over until its vibrations penetrate a listener, often used by spiritual traditions as meditation or prayer; researchers such as Herbert Benson have discovered that repeating any word or phrase, religious or not religious can trigger a relaxation response in recipients.
HSZSN is a symbol that allows Reiki practitioners to connect with people, places or objects at any point in time or space – past, present or future – regardless of world, galaxy or dimension. Furthermore, this allows access to Akashic Records that contain information about individual souls; healing past karmic events as well as trapped emotions which might still be negatively affecting one’s current health or well-being can then take place through these channels.
An essential element of Reiki sign emotional remote healing is using the dai ko myo symbol to channel energy toward an individual or situation, especially when working remotely with difficult people or circumstances that you cannot physically heal yourself. By employing this symbol, it helps remove negative energy associated with situations and attract positive energy through vibrational healing.
When sending energy to another person or situation, using the sei he ki symbol – representing harmony – can be useful in helping balance right and left brain activities, emotions and intuition. Sometimes when this symbol is sent out it brings faster information for goal attainment or helps bring in people that can assist on one’s journey.
Many reiki practitioners utilize the power symbol when performing Reiki remotely. This symbol serves to bless medication and remove any negative energies that might have come in contact with it; similarly it’s often used with food to ensure it nourishes our bodies well.
Prayer
Prayer is a form of meditation used to bring in and direct healing energy into their bodies and communicate with the universe. Many have used Reiki to heal physical, emotional, and mental ailments while experiencing peace, spiritual enlightenment, and increased clarity as a result of practicing it.
Reiki practitioners are taught symbols that correspond with specific healing intentions, life force frequencies and properties associated with them. While healing energies exist regardless of whether symbols are utilized, experts believe using symbols greatly amplifies, accelerates and expedites their effects in aiding in the healing process.
Cho ku rei is widely believed to enhance other symbols by channeling their energies effectively, helping clear karma, promote spiritual development, and heal relationships. It is one of the most potent symbols as it addresses both physical and spiritual healing – it can often be found during couples reiki sessions.
The hon sha ze sho shen, or HSZSN, symbol allows practitioners to transmit healing energy across space and time, helping individuals examine past events with greater insight while sending healing energy into future events.
An distant Reiki session begins by holding up a photograph of the recipient while visualizing cho ku rei, sei hei ki and hon sha ze sho shen in their mind’s eye, followed by repeating their name three times to ask that Reiki flow towards them.
Reiki is an holistic healing system, effective on all levels – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Reiki physically heals cells and organs already in existence with new healthy instructions; research supports this claim that it’s not chemicals but electrical/magnetic fields surrounding our bodies that determine how cells and organs function.
LF-MFs help block pain signals, stimulate diseased nerves and muscle tissues to create muscular rhythm, improve blood circulation and lymph return, reduce edema, and speed soft tissue healing.
To use, just remove the protective film from electrode pads and apply them directly over any painful areas. Make sure the power switch is in the “on” position, then press 1ch button.
Product Description
Low frequency electric pulse therapeutic instrument is a device which uses modern electronic science and technology to generate low frequency electrical pulses that are then transmitted through electrodes to target nerves underlying muscle pain in areas like shoulders, waists, backs, arms legs and feet due to overuse, exercise or work related activities. This form of treatment has proven highly successful at relieving muscle pain caused by overuse, exercise or work related activities resulting in overuse, exercise or work related activities, such as shoulders waist back arms legs feet (OWBAF). It has also proven its efficacy against chronic pain from conditions like arthritis sciatica sciatica or back pain (CVIVI).
The device can be used at home with no professional training necessary and has no adverse side effects or complications. Additionally, it may be combined with other treatments to increase effectiveness; recommended usage times: twice daily for 15 minutes each session and should not be used on pregnant women or those experiencing feverish temperatures (above 38 degrees Celsius).
TENS units work by sending an electrical current via electrodes into subcutaneous nerves in order to disrupt pain signals sent from your body. Frequencies usually range between 20-50Hz; however, lower frequencies have limited effects due to resistance from skin resistance limiting penetration of signals – known as Gate Control Theory.
Higher frequency stimulation has been shown to deliver more intense muscle stimulation and an amplified response from nerves than low frequency signals, reaching deeper into muscle fibers for enhanced interferential currents (or ICF).
Electrode Placement-the device guidance will offer instructions for where and how to place the electrode pads. They should be placed on clean, dry skin which is free from dense hair growth and does not moisturizer over time. Maintaining their adhesion over time is advisable to maintain long term success with these electrodes.
The device offers five automatic treatment modes and can also be operated manually, using its function buttons on the host for selection and monitoring its current status with its LCD.
Functions
The device uses sophisticated electronic science and technology to produce electrical pulses which are delivered by electrode pads onto peripheral nerves in order to achieve therapeutic purposes. It may help relieve sore and aching muscles in shoulders, waists, backs, legs and feet due to exercise or daily household/work activities, alleviating their associated discomforts.
For improved effectiveness of EMS treatments, amplitude (the intensity) and pulse width can be adjusted on individual stimulation waves; some devices also allow frequency of stimulation pulses to be altered within a pre-set range – higher frequencies will increase power of each contraction produced while shorter pulse durations may help decrease sensation associated with treatment for some patients.
Some EMS devices also provide the capability of combining pain relief and muscle stimulation through interspersed stimulation mode, for instance RS Medical’s RS-4i Plus allows users to run 35 minutes of high frequency 4900 and 5000Hz INF treatment before switching over for 30 minutes of low frequency 71Hz NMES therapy.
Combining NMES and INF treatments has proved immensely effective at managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) among cancer patients. Studies have demonstrated how using both treatments together can significantly decrease CINV symptoms, allowing cancer patients to remain active throughout chemotherapy treatment sessions without suffering as much from symptoms of nausea or vomiting.
Utilizing a small hand-held controller, the user can easily select their desired treatment mode and intensity of each pulse. An LCD clearly displays your settings; simply press “Manual” for manual mode selection from modes 1 through 5 which automatically returns intensity back to its starting level upon each change in mode.
This device offers a manual mode which activates electricity when pressing either 1ch or 2ch buttons, energizing both left and right hand muscles at the same time. This feature makes the manual mode particularly helpful if you plan to operate electrical stimulation for extended periods.
Safety
This device uses low-frequency electric pulses to stimulate acupuncture points and prevent nausea and vomiting in chemotherapy patients. Studies have also demonstrated its efficacy at relieving pain for cancer survivors. Furthermore, studies suggest its utility for migraine reduction, improving musculoskeletal function, relieving anxiety/depression symptoms as well as blood circulation improvements and relieving chronic numbness symptoms. It is safe and easy to use – nurses without prior acupuncture experience may use it successfully too – simply follow instructions in manual to apply stimulation at specific acupoints relevant for their condition.
EMS devices rarely deliver enough electricity to cause harm (see contraindications below), however if electrodes are placed over sensitive areas or blood vessels it could potentially produce discomfort; as a precautionary measure therapists are advised to test out their unit on themselves before administering to patients.
Select an electrode of appropriate size and shape for stimulating muscles or acupuncture points. A stimulation patch too small could result in leakage onto other muscles affecting muscle contraction; on the other hand, an electrode too large may produce uncomfortable sensations, including burning or pain sensations. A circular self-adhesive electrode with a diameter of 3 cm would be the optimal choice.
There are various modes and parameters available on this device that can be adjusted depending on your desired effect. Frequency adjustments can be made between 10-60Hz by changing the base or spectrum level; similarly, amplitude can also be altered, which affects strength of muscle contractions; it’s best to start out at lower intensities before increasing intensity to get your desired response.
Remembering the EMS device produces stimuli unfamiliar to its client is crucial, since they may mistake it as pain even though it is harmless; to reduce unnecessary anxiety the therapist should make them aware of this fact as soon as possible and assure them it is completely safe procedure.
Warranty
This device features 12 automatic therapy modes for pain relief and muscle stimulation, making it suitable for all ages and approval numbers: 225AABZX00193000. However, please be aware that using it with cardiac demand pacemakers, artificial heart lungs or any other implanted metallic or electronic equipment could result in malfunction and injury to either party.
The device creates low-frequency electrical pulses to stimulate nerves underlying the skin to block pain signals, known as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). The pulses also initiate your body’s natural painkillers such as endorphins and cortisol to fight discomfort.
This product comes with a two year manufacturer’s warranty against manufacturing defects; however, this doesn’t cover accessories like wire pad applicators. Furthermore, this offer only applies if purchased and operated in the USA and the manufacturer disclaims any other responsibility regarding this device.
Proton beam therapy is used to treat certain forms of cancer. Compared with standard radiotherapy, proton beam therapy causes less damage to healthy cells while potentially decreasing side effects and potentially reducing side effects.
Before beginning treatment at the proton centre, you will undergo tests to help plan out the best strategy for you and create a custom mask or mould to help stay still during radiation sessions.
High Energy Protons
Protons offer targeted radiation of specific tumors while sparing normal tissues – making it particularly effective against tumors in sensitive organs like the brain or lungs, where conventional radiation could lead to radiation toxicity.
Proton beam therapy offers the same cancer-destroying dose while sparing surrounding healthy tissue from being affected, making it possible to target microscopic tumours that are difficult to target with conformal x-rays and treat lymph nodes that contain cancerous growths.
Before radiation therapy begins, a health care team will scan your body in order to create a detailed map of the area to be treated. With this data in hand, clinical oncologist and physicist collaborate on planning your treatment; marking where they want the radiation directed while also marking healthy areas that must be avoided and the radiation oncologist may request the assistance of the physicist in ensuring its safety and efficacy.
As proton beam physics differ from that of x-rays, treatment plans must be designed specifically to optimize its results. An effort is made to minimize any side effects on tumor targets or normal tissues surrounding them – known as beam optimisation – with various techniques such as collimation and tracking used by physicists to maximize its efficacy.
Another strategy to increase proton dosage involves using a pencil beam scanning nozzle to increase total proton dose, which has the added advantage of increasing patient throughput in one treatment session and requiring a more accurate beam-aiming system to minimize damage to healthy tissues caused by stray particles.
A third method involves employing double-scatter techniques, which use two layers of mirrors to reflect and scatter radiation and prevent any stray particles from reaching the tumor site. Although more difficult to implement, double scatter techniques can increase efficiency while shortening treatment times significantly.
Protons and deuterons offer exciting possibilities for radiosurgery applications. Many groups have successfully utilized this approach to treat animals as well as human patients using protons or deuterons as energy source particles.
Precision
Proton beams deliver the same amount of energy to tumors as an X-ray beam but with more accuracy. Less radiation is absorbed by healthy tissues or organs, potentially enabling higher doses to be delivered. This is especially helpful when treating tumors near crucial structures like spines, lungs or eyes.
Proton beam therapy may also be effective at treating cancers that do not respond well to standard radiotherapy, such as tumors in the head and neck region, since it produces less adverse side effects in this region.
Before starting treatment, an evaluation visit with your team will be necessary. This may take several days and involve CT or MRI scans that help the team plan your proton beam treatment. In addition to that, masks or body moulds may need to be worn if the area being treated involves your head or neck; you will have to remain still during this part of the process, which may cause anxiety; they will try their best to assist as much as they can such as providing ways of keeping you still or giving medication as needed.
Your treatment will take place in a special room equipped with a machine called a gantry that moves around you, so as not to feel confining or uncomfortable during treatment. However, stillness must be observed as your radiographers leave the room but will still be able to see and hear you through a video screen located elsewhere within the building.
Each treatment session typically lasts one hour, and you may receive three to eight treatments every week over three to eight weeks. While these sessions may seem time consuming and tiresome for children needing sedation during treatment sessions, most soreness will subside after just a few days after completion of these sessions – the affected area will usually recover soon enough!
Safety
Proton beam radiation therapy, more commonly referred to as proton beam therapy, offers an innovative form of cancer therapy using a beam of protons that targets tumor cells directly while sparing surrounding healthy tissues, potentially reducing side effects and side-effects.
Researchers developed a technique for increasing the efficiency of proton beams by minimizing particle loss, enabling clinicians to administer similar doses with reduced energy usage. Their solution utilizes a wedge device similar to what’s found at Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment and could potentially also be applied in applications such as head and neck cancer radiotherapy treatments.
Proton beams are generated using particle accelerators known as cyclotrons. Each of these particle accelerators produces proton beams of various energies depending on its intended use, allowing clinicians to tailor doses precisely against tumor shapes and sizes – this new approach to energy tuning offers great promise when treating patients who move during radiation treatments.
Proton beam therapy requires patients to lie on a comfortable table that is then moved beneath a machine. On day one of treatment, the patient will undergo a simulation test designed to ensure that the proton beam is accurately positioned over their tumor site; this positioning will then be repeated throughout treatment sessions so consistency is ensured. After this step has been completed, they will receive an immobilization mask designed to immobilize and protect from outside radiation during their therapy regimen.
Once the patient is settled in, a care team member will mark the area they plan to target with proton beam therapy and create an imaging map which can guide actual treatment. They may also design an immobilization device specifically tailored to help keep patients still during this process.
Time
An electromagnetic tracking system guides the proton beam directly to its target tumor site, where it stops inside it to deliver high doses of radiation to it without harming nearby normal tissue or having adverse side effects compared with traditional x-ray radiation therapy. Protons have significantly less of an effect on nearby healthy cells compared with their more conventional counterpart.
Therapy sessions typically last seven weeks. Each treatment session typically lasts 30-60 minutes and you will be asked to lie still throughout each treatment session on a cushioned table beneath a machine while being monitored with CT scan or x-ray images before each treatment session begins. Young children may receive general anaesthetic prior to beginning.
After your initial dry run (when all aspects of treatment have been reviewed), you will be provided with a treatment plan which outlines a timeline and schedule of your treatments. Your physician will explain what to expect from these sessions as well as answering any queries that arise during them.
Your treatments will occur five times weekly for three to six weeks at our center for an hour each time, while being positioned on our patient couch ensuring consistency of each session. We take special care in recording every precise movement of each treatment in our records to ensure its success and ensure consistent care delivery.
Proton beam therapy is administered by a radiotherapy team consisting of specialists in radiation oncology. As opposed to conventional external beam radiotherapy, proton beam therapy targets directly at the tumour for reduced damage to healthy surrounding tissues; additionally it can treat cancers close to vital organs, such as brains, spinal cords, eyes or hearts.
Clatterbridge Proton Beam Therapy Centre provides proton beam therapy treatments to people suffering from cancers such as uveal melanoma (eye cancer) and oesophageal or stomach cancer, as well as those suffering recurrent or residual benign meningiomas. Results of a recent trial demonstrate the viability of high energy proton beam therapy as an alternative treatment, offering better long-term tumor control and survival rates than existing therapies for meningiomas.
Parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder frequently turn to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies as a source of treatment, with studies suggesting up to 95 percent of families using such methods for anxiety, GI issues and sleep disturbance.
However, many methods may not be safe or have uncertain evidence of efficacy; some such as chelation and hyperbaric oxygen therapy could even prove harmful.
Art therapy
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy which utilizes art media as the main medium of expression and communication. This therapy can help individuals with autism better regulate their emotions and develop social skills while encouraging creativity and problem-solving skills. Art therapy may serve as an alternative therapy approach alongside cognitive development or behavioral interventions and can take place both individually or as part of group sessions.
Art therapy offers more than fine motor skill development to individuals with autism; it also increases focus and sensory processing improvement, helps with self-expression, and provides an indescribable sense of accomplishment. Finding a seasoned art therapist who understands their needs as an autistic child or adult is of utmost importance.
Art therapists utilize various art materials to encourage exploration and creativity, as well as offering structured art activities that follow a predefined framework to reduce over-stimulation and promote feelings of control, independence, and structure in patients.
Individuals with autism often struggle to read facial expressions and body language, making forming relationships difficult and social engagement challenging. If they lack verbal capabilities this makes socialization even more challenging; art therapy allows these individuals to communicate without needing verbal interactions as it provides a safe platform to express emotions in an anonymous and controlled environment.
Many individuals with autism find coping with emotions challenging, making social situations challenging to navigate. Art therapy provides an effective solution for helping identify and regulate emotions in a controlled environment – improving social functioning as well as developing an effective coping strategy to use in future situations.
Art therapy is a versatile form of emotional and developmental treatment, from anxiety to self-esteem. It can even help strengthen relationships and relieve stress. Art therapy may even reduce suicidal thoughts while increasing libido; additionally it increases concentration abilities and sense of purpose by strengthening fine motor skills or offering visual storytelling opportunities such as sculpture.
Occupational therapy
Occupational therapy is an integrative approach that seeks to unlock the full potential of people living with autism by developing functional skills and overall quality of life. This process begins with thorough assessments, tailored treatment plans and therapeutic techniques tailored specifically for each person; additionally it requires collaboration among healthcare providers and caregivers for maximum effectiveness.
Occupational therapy not only reduces symptoms but also focuses on teaching new skills. For instance, occupational therapy can assist children in learning to take turns and understand nonverbal communication; additionally, occupational therapists teach children how to interact with peers and navigate social situations – skills which will allow them to build meaningful relationships while leading more independent lives.
Occupational therapy (OT) can also aid sensory processing and motor control for children, helping them learn to regulate their arousal levels through play or develop self-care skills such as bathing, grooming or eating independently. Pediatric OT serves the goal of increasing independence while improving quality of life; often used alongside applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy or speech and language therapy treatments.
Autism is a complex disorder with many effects on children and families, including difficulty communicating, low self-esteem and anxiety. Autism symptoms can also present challenges for schooling and work environments, creating obstacles in both these areas. Luckily there are therapies available that can reduce these issues; two of the most effective ones being ABA and OT therapy.
Both occupational therapy (OT) and applied behavior analysis (ABA) are highly customized forms of therapy, beginning with assessment and goal setting. While ABA primarily targets behavioral change such as increasing ability to wait one’s turn on the playground, OT addresses skills necessary for daily functioning.
Occupational therapy (OT) is an integrative set of interventions designed to manage the core symptoms associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Occupational therapy stands out from other therapies because it addresses both cognitive and physical aspects of functioning simultaneously, using evidence-based practices tailored specifically for each person using an interprofessional team comprised of physical therapist, speech pathologist, and social worker.
Relationship development intervention
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practices are increasingly being employed alongside more traditional treatments, like behavioral therapy. These practices can help alleviate symptoms while providing a more holistic approach. Therapies available include herbal medicine, massage therapy and acupuncture – however it is always advisable to speak to a healthcare provider first before embarking on any course of treatment.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can impact people in various ways. Many with ASD need support services to assist with the daily challenges they face; such services might include special education classes, social skills training programs and housing/employment assistance. Some individuals require medication and dietary supplements while more intense therapeutic interventions such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) have been found effective at encouraging desired behaviors while discouraging undesired ones; studies have also proven ABA’s efficacy at improving various skills among those diagnosed with ASD.
Relationship Development Intervention, or RDI, is another alternative therapy for autism that emphasizes parent-child relationships and their core deficits of autism. Parents receive tools they need to foster a healthy parent-child bond while increasing motivation and self-directed learning of children with the disorder. RDI stands out among other autism interventions as it can also serve as an adjunct therapy such as ABA therapy.
RDI is a family-based intervention that can be done at home. It teaches caregivers and their child’s caregiver how to interact and play together in ways that support emotional, social, cognitive development as well as reciprocal interactions with other children. Although evidence on RDI remains limited, its efficacy has been reported.
Many individuals with autism have turned to alternative treatments such as acupuncture and fish oil supplements as a means of managing their symptoms, including acupuncture and fish oil supplements. While these may provide some temporary relief, they can also be harmful; in fact, some have even died after trying these unproven approaches. While others have found integrating holistic approaches has shown better results.
Gluten-free diet
Autism experts often hear anecdotal reports from parents claiming their child’s symptoms improved after adhering to a gluten-free diet; however, medical researchers have been unable to link gluten with autism. A gluten-free diet (one that excludes wheat, barley, rye) and casein (a protein found in dairy products) similar to celiac disease treatment can also be followed to address autism symptoms.
The general consensus among experts regarding autism is that its digestive tracts are damaged, allowing undigested proteins to leak into their bloodstream and create an inflammatory response affecting brain functions – this theory is known as the “leaky gut” hypothesis. Peptides produced during digestion could interfere with neurotransmitters causing symptoms such as anxiety, aggression and sensory problems that contribute to symptoms like anxiety.
Research has demonstrated that autistic children often have an altered microbiome, which may contribute to behavioral issues. But this evidence alone does not establish that gluten-free diets can cure autism; their restrictive nature makes compliance even harder to implement; many autistic children must attend multiple therapies – speech therapy, occupational therapy and art therapy for example – so a cookie or cracker might tempt them eat it and cause nutritional deficiencies and behavioral problems.
No matter the limited research available, it is clear that gluten-free diets help improve autism symptoms. They have also proven successful at relieving gastrointestinal distress and improving sleep patterns; some studies even indicate they could help relieve seizures for individuals living with epilepsy.
There has been increasing interest in alternative treatments for autism, specifically diet-based approaches. Multiple studies have demonstrated that eliminating gluten from one’s diet can alleviate certain autism-related symptoms; however, this data should be treated with caution due to self-reporting by parents.
Before embarking on a gluten-free diet for your child with autism, speak to their healthcare provider first. In general, fresh, low fat food should be preferred over processed items; national and regional grocery chains carry packaged gluten-free options that have been certified as gluten-free; these should contain labels with “gluten free,” “no gluten” or that have under 20 parts per million gluten. Health food stores also sell them.
