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

Liquid Carnosine Plus
News Update - February 17, 2012. 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. So get it while you can!
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

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,

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

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. More
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
