Usually when we hear the phrase "Leading Edge" it's normally associated with universities like Harvard, Standford or Princeton when it comes to medicine. This is not this case when it comes to Autism. People who are really on the "Leading Edge" addressing the problems that are associated with Autism are parents of Autistic children.
These parents have been forced into this position due to the fact that the medical community still believes Autism is a mental disorder which can only be managed. What parents are beginning to realize is that Autistic like symptoms: inability to form speech, lack of emotional balance and little mental focus are brought on by a chemical imbalance that travels through out the body and literally upsets every functioning process.
Kitsa Arnet's son was experiencing sleeplessness and severe, non ending, tantrums. She had her son tested and found that he had insufficient magnesium levels. As soon as those magnesium levels were addressed he had no more sleepless nights or tantrums.
Melinda Allison's son was literally chewing the ends of his fingers off…not his nails… the skin on his finger tips. This had nothing to do with a mental disorder as it was assumed by his medical consultant, it was due to the lack of zinc in the child's diet. Once the levels where brought up, here son quit chewing the ends of his fingers.
The same problem Kitsa had with her child, was also affecting Shirley Anderson's son, tantrums and sleeplessness. She headed off to the health food store and picked up a bottle of melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone that insomnicas use and it did the trick.
More and more parents, these days, have taken their Autistic child's welfare into their own hands. One of the first steps of treatments that's seems to be helping Autistic children is a chemical work up. When deficiencies are discovered and levels are brought into balance, the child's daily life improves tremendously.
