Speech

[Forsgren Scott]

I have heard MB12 can be a big help for some non-verbal kids in helping them to start speaking.

What are the things that are preventing ASD kids from becoming verbal and what are some additional options, supplements, therapies (QEEG, etc.?), that have helped get your patients to start speaking?

Thanks

Scott,
Methyl-B12 can help significantly.

Causes – at least that seem plausible, although some are difficult to prove:

-methylation dysfunction
-brain inflammation, i.e. generated by injury, cross-reactivity to food proteins or pathogens.
-elevated peptides to gluten and casein
-autoimmune reactions to the endothelium within the temporal lobes
-seizure disorder
-essential fatty acid imbalances and/or other nutritional deficiencies
-poor neurological development in speech centers and/or motor pathways

Treatments – I wish I could say each worked 100%

-Methyl-B12
-Dimethylglycine, trimethylglycine
-L-methyl-folate
-essential fatty acids
-L-carnosine + zinc (see Carn-Aware)
-hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)
-Respen-a (homeopathic reserpine) – will be talking about this later in the course
-increasing Total Cholesterol
-treating underlying infections
-gluten and casein-free diet
-Speech therapy and physical therapy
