May 15, 2012. Although we dearly love our children on the autism spectrum, we as parents often wish we could have prevented our kids from having to go down this path. If you already have a child on the autism spectrum and are planning to add to your family, you have a 20-32% increased risk of having another child with an autism spectrum disorder. A developmental pediatrician has a comprehensive and wonderful article on what you can do in pregnancy to reduce the risk of having a child on the autism spectrum.
More Not All Supplements Are Created Alike
How will you know if a supplement works if you don't use one that is full strength and has the highest quality ingredients?
Unlike
supplement catalogs focused purely on profit that sell everything under
the sun and don't know if or care whether or not their products are
beneficial, at Autism Coach, we won't sell a supplement if we wouldn't
give it to our children or take it ourselves. We have personally used
virtually all of the supplements we sell and every product has the
potential to provide benefit.
You can also feel good about
purchasing products from Autism Coach because you are supporting fellow
members of the autism community and we turn around and support the
autism community by providing useful information and high quality
products.
In lesser quality supplements, fillers and "natural
flavorings" can legally hide unnatural ingredients and allergens,
including MSG, a excitotoxin. Raw materials themselves can be high in
contaminants such as pesticides and heavy metals (this does not have to
be disclosed on the label). Some supplements targeted at the autism
community use propylene glycol (the equivalent of anti-freeze) in their
liquid supplements to keep ingredients mixed up, something we would
NEVER put into the bodies of autistic children who have an impaired
ability to detoxify.

Many individuals within the autism spectrum have low cholesterol. It turns out that proprionic acid lowers cholesterol. It also is a by-product of Clostridium
Difficile, a pathogenic organism commonly found at excessive levels individuals
within the autism spectrum. Proprionic
acid has also been shown by researchers to trigger symptoms of autism when
injected into the brains of rats and is theorized to be a cause of autistic
symptoms in humans. Fortunately, symptoms of autism can be greatly reduced with treatment. More
Many children within the autism spectrum love the computer. Autism
Coach allows you to make the most of your child's computer time by
offering high-quality, hard-to-find software titles that help your child

Kids in the Syndrome Mix
is a groundbreaking, concise, scientifically up-to-date, all-in-one
guide to the whole range of often co-existing neuro-behavioral disorders
in children-from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),
obsessive-compulsive disorder, and bipolar disorder, to autistic
spectrum disorders, nonverbal learning disabilities, sensory integration
problems, and executive dysfunction.
Dr. Kutscher provides
accessible information on causes, symptoms, interactions with other
conditions, and treatments. He presents effective behavioral strategies
for responding to children who display traits of these disorders-whether
at home, at school, or in other settings-along with case vignettes and
practical tips. More

for many digestive, immune system, and other related health problems. More
We
offer several video seminars for parents and professionals by leading
experts in autism including Dr. Tony Attwood, Dr. Temple Grandin, and
Carol Gray. More Autism Treatment Therapy Approaches using Autism Coach Products
Here at Autism Coach, we offer information and products that can be used
by parents, individuals within the autism spectrum, and professionals
to create effective autism treatment therapy intervention protocols. We
offer a full range of products, including the best autism supplements,
dietary products, computer software and books to be used for developing
and implementing an autism therapy treatment intervention protocol.
Autism Coach provides autism research information and health related
articles to help you make informed choices as to what approaches may be
of greatest benefit. Every child, teenager, and adult on the autism
spectrum is a unique individual and there is no one-size fits all
approach although statistically some therapies provide more benefit than
others.
Up to 40% of individuals within the autism spectrum are currently
estimated to eventually lose their autism spectrum labels. Even if you
or your family members do not lose all symptoms of autism, anyone can
improve their quality of life and level of functioning regardless of age
or diagnosis.
Statistically the most effective treatment protocols that lead to
individuals losing their autism spectrum labels connect individuals
neurologically using a multi-disciplinary approach. Effective
multi-discliplinary approaches often include supplements, a special diet
(such as a combination/modified version of one of the following diets:
Gluten Free Casein Free, Specific Carbohydrate, Feingold, Body Ecology),
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA ), and integrative therapies (sensory,
auditory and visual integration).
At Autism Coach, we believe that creating an effective autism spectrum
therapy treatment intervention protocol tailored to an individual’s
need, strengths, unique personality, and interests is the best way to to
help those in the autism spectrum reach their full potential.
Founded in 2000, Autism Coach is one of the oldest and most trusted
comprehensive autism information and product catalogs online. |
Peptizyde Chewables on Sale
The popular Peptizyde Chewables are on sale. When they're gone, they're gone! Out of stock on other websites. Regularly $28, on sale for $24.
Out of stock. We are in the process of improving Liquid Carnosine Plus to include a patented form of Zinc-Carnosine that has dozens of research studies published concerning its supporting digestion and the mucosal lining of the intestinal tract. To learn more about Zinc-Carnosine research, please click here.
If you need to receive Carnosine sooner, we recommend substituting Carn-Aware which is a capsule form of Carnosine that contains a tasteless powder that can be opened and mixed into smoothies and puddings.
Our
Liquid Carnosine Plus has been flying off the shelves since Dr. Oz
promoted the anti-aging, anti-Alzheimer's properties of Carnosine on his
nationally syndicated health care television show February 15. We
have known about and provided information about the benefits of
Carnosine for years and are pleased to see it has reached national
attention.
In a double-blind study,
significant improvements in language and socialization were observed in
90 percent of children within the autism spectrum using L-Carnosine, as
opposed to children taking a placebo. L-Carnosine
is believed to increase activity in the frontal areas of the brain and
promote the production of GABA, one of the brain's primary calming
neurotransmitters. GABA is believed to be deficient in children within
the autism spectrum. The quality of a supplement can make a huge
difference in effectiveness and L-Canosine Plus contains only the
purest, highest quality ingredients in an all-natural,
pleasant-tasting, lemonade- flavored base that is free from common
allergens and is compatible with most special diets.More

We are pleased to
exclusively introduce the first Liquid Vitamin C that is not only
corn-free but is not derived from corn ( a technicality that many
supplement manufacturers fail to disclose). Derived from cassava (a
tropical root vegetable) Our Liquid Corn-Free Vitamin C is pleasant,
easy to take, and may be taken straight or mixed into cool or room
temperature drinks. 99% of Vitamin C in the U.S. is derived from
genetically modified BT corn (which has a pesticide engineered into
every molecule). For sensitive individuals looking for a convenient
non-allergenic product, our Liquid Corn-Free Vitamin C may be the ideal
solution. It makes a great immune system booster for the cold and flu
season. More
We

New Supplements
These are only a few of the new supplements we have recently added to our product line:
Methyl B's + TMG -
Offer in a convenient combination the methylated forms of B12, B9
(folate), B6 and B2 plus Trimethylglycine to promote methylation.
Methylation is impaired in the majority of individuals within the autism
spectrum and the majority of individuals within the autism spectrum are
deficient in B12, B6, and folate. MoreFull Spectrum Probiotic Powder
- Economical 12 certified probiotics species, whose functions include
producing analogs of DPP-IV enzyme that breaks down gluten and casein,
synthesizing Vitamin K and B Vitamins, fighting pathogenic organisms
such as C. Difficile and E. Coli, removing ammonia and phoneol,
improving ijmmunological and gut barrier function. 1/4 teaspoon
provides 100+ billion CFUs, 4 times more than many products so you can
even halve the dosage and still have a therapeutic dose. More
Active B12+B6 Spray -
offers both active
forms of B12, methylcobalamin and hydroxocobamine, in a tasty natural,
easy to take economical spray. Most individuals within the autism
spectrum are deficient in these B vitamins that are critical for
neurological and immunological function. MoreImmunocillin
- includes lysozyme, an enzyme that dissolves cell walls of bacteria,
lactoferrin, bovine immunoglobulin, and olive leaf extract to promtoe
anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal activity. A great product
for chronic infection and for cold and flu season.

Autism Coach's Behavior Balance
provides a blend of B Vitamins, methyl donors and zinc that are
frequently deficient in children within the autism spectrum. Originally
formulated by late autism nutritional intervention pioneer, Dr. Bernard
Rimland, it
contgains patented N-Dimethylglycine (DMG) with Betaine, Folic Acid,
Vitamins B6 and B12, Zinc, and Magnesium in a great tasting, natural
black cherry flavored liquid. These nutrients work synergistically to
balance behavior patterns and socialization skills, support stress
coping mechanisms and immune system function. This supplement is also
widely used to provide nutritional support for children diagnosed with
ADD and ADHD. More.
Glutathione is one of the most potentent natural detoxifiers, helping to remove heavy metals and other toxins from the body.In a study by Dr. Jill St. James at Arkansas Children's Hospital,
children within the autism spectrum were found to have significantly
lower levels of glutathione than neurotypical children who also
participated in the study. Until now, glutathione was not absorbed well
orally and had been administered intravenously or absorbed through the
skin with trans-dermal cream. However, our new form of glutathione
provides quick and efficient absorption by enclosing the glutathione
molecule within a tiny membrane called a liposome. Liposomes have been
shown to have a 90% absorption rate. Our brand of glutathione has been
used in Parkinson's and Athereosclerosis research with promising
findings, including a study on Parkinson's indicating a 100 fold
increase in glutathione in neurons. More
We
are please to offer the full product line of Houston Enzymes, the most
effective enzymes for individuals on the autism spectrum, in our
opinion. These enzymes come in capsules that can be swallowed, or the
contents of the capsules opened and mixed into foods, or there are good
tasting chewable forms of these enzymes. The majority of individuals
within the autism spectrum maldigest their food and undigested gluten
and casein proteins can actually form opiates that bind to sites in the
brain, interfering with neurological development. The Houston Peptizyde
enzymes help break apart these proteins so they do not form opiates.
Trienza
Chewables provide a tasty alternative to the popular Trienza which
combines three enzymes in a single supplement: Peptizyde, Zyme Prime,
and No-Fenol. Zyme Prime primarily digests carbohydrates, and fats, and
No-Fenol helps to digest phenloic compounds which can also be
problematic for individuals within the autism spectrum. More
Bioactive Vitamin MIneral Powder
Our comprehensive BioActive Vitamin Mineral Powder
is designed to economically provide a solid nutritional foundation for
individuals within the autism spectrum. It providing 28 potent,
bioactive ingredients, including active forms of B12, B6, folic acid,
along with other B vitamins. It also includes high quality forms of A,
C, D, E, K, and the minerals that benefit the majority of individuals
within the autism spectrum. More

We
are pleased to offer the bioactive form of Vitamin B-12, in a
convenient spray that enables B-12 to be directly absorbed from under
the tongue into the bloodstream. Individuals within the autism spectrum
often have difficulty absorbing through the digestive tract. This spray may provide an effective, affordable alternative or augmentation to Methyl B-12 shots. More
Super Folate,
our form of folic acid, 5 MTHF (mehtyltetrahydrofolate), is the most
bioavailable, containing methyl donors that help it to be used in the
body's metabolic processes. Most individuals within the autism spectrum
are deficient in B-12. Folic acid is a precusor to B-12 and can also be
used in many of the metabolic processes required by B-12. If you or your
child are deficient in B-12, Super Folate will help you derive maximum
benefit from your B-12 supplementation or injections. More
Neurological Optimization and Protection
  
Theanine
is a unique amino acid found almost exclusively in green tea that
exerts beneficial effects on brain metabolism. Theanine induces
relaxation without causing drowsiness, as measured by increased
generation of alpha-waves. Theanine may improve learning ability by
affecting dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitters in the brain. Also,
Theanine exerts protective effects on the brain by antagonizing
glutamate toxicity. More
Vinpocetine is
a supplement that has long been used in Europe and Japan for
neurological support but is not as widely known within the U.S. There
are many studies supporting the neuro-protective properties of
Vinpocetine and the observation of improved cognitive functioning. My
family has used this for several years - this was one of the supplements
that seems to work especially well for our son - where we could see a
noticeable improvement in alertness. We have found it to provide optimal
neurological support, when taken with natural licorice, such as our new
Licorice Syrup.
Studies have shown that licorice has many beneficial properties,
supporting the production of hormones in the intestinal tract and brain,
including secretin. It also has anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and
anti-inflammatory properties. More
Phophosphatidyl Serine is
a supplement that helps to regenerate damaged nerve cells, reverse
defects in nerve cell message transmission, and establish new receptor
sites in the brain. Phosphatidyl Serine benefits memory, learning,
concentration, mood, alertness, sociability, and improved reaction time.

The
majority of individuals within the autism spectrum have an impaired
ability to remove toxins from the body and tend to accumulate high
levels of pesticides and heavy metals. In today's world with over 20,000
man-made chemicals in our environment interacting with each other with
unknown consequences, detoxification should be a part of everyone's
regular health regimen.
Our Liquid Liposome-Enclosed Glutathione
provides a 90% absorption rate of this powerful anti-oxidant. Raising
levels of glutathione supports methylation which is one of the primary
metabolic pathways used by the body to detoxify and safely remove toxins
from the body so they are not reabsorbed.
We are also offering Super Folate to support methylation and stimualte the production of dopamine.
Herbal Detoxifier
includes alpha lipoic acid, which binds to heavy metals, and milk
thistle, which helps to ensure these metals are removed from the body.
Supporting the liver generally helps people to sleep better at night
because that is when the liver is most active in detoxifying.
Cal-Mag Butyrate
reduces levels of ammonia in the brain. It includes butyric acid, a
precursor to the brain's primary calming neurotransmitter, GABA, which
is frequently deficient in autistic children, who often have excessive
levels of ammonia in the brain.
Our Liquid Minerals
provide high quality forms of beneficial minerals in an easy to take
form and also can be used as a taste test kit to determine if there are
mineral deficiencies.A popular detoxification therapy is chelation in
which natural supplements or chemicals bind to metals in the
body. Unfortunately, beneficial minerals are also removed, including
those required for normal heart function, and so it is vitally important
to monitor and adminster beneficial minerals during chelation.
Saccharomyces Boulardii. S. Bouldii is a benefical yeast that crowds out pathogenic Candida and supports normalization of intestinal function.

The Krebs energy cycle
tends to be impaired in individuals within the autism spectrum. Both
Alpha GPC and Citicholine help to normalize functioning of the Krebs
cycle and are neuro-protective. Both also work remarkably well for
providing additional energy to alleviate driving fatigue. They can be
used as a more economical and easy to carry energy shooter in a capsule.
Alpha GPC
is a phospholipid metabolite found concentrated in neuronal membranes.
Alpha GPC supports brain function and learning processes by directly
increasing the synthesis and secretion of acetylcholine. Alpha GPC
protects neurons and improves signal transmission by serving as a
precursor to membrane phospholipids.
Strengthening the membranes encasing the neurons increases the speed and
accuracy with which information is transmitted, reducing timing delays
and reducing distortion of signals. Sensory distortion and timing delays
are believed to be the amongst the root causes of autism. The better
neurologically connected, the fewer the symptoms.
Citicholine has been extensively tested by scientists and shown to improve brain function in people of all ages. In
a study conducted in 2007 at McClean Hospital in Belmont,
Massachussetts, Dr. Perry Renshaw showed that Citicholine improved brain
function in middle aged people. The researchers took a group of
volunteers and put them in an MRI to measure the energy needed to make
our brains work. Then they told the volunteers to take Citicoline every
day. After six weeks the volunteers were put back into the MRI to see if
there were any changes. "The unanticipated and somewhat remarkable
result that we found was that the brain energy supply... is actually
increased in critical brain regions by this supplement," said Renshaw. More
