These results are consistent with studies linking oxytocin to social recognition in rodents as well as studies linking oxytocin to prosocial behavior in humans and suggest that oxytocin might facilitate social information processing in those with autism. These findings also provide preliminary support for the use of oxytocin in the treatment of autism.
Spironolactone might be a desirable immunologic and hormonal intervention in autism spectrum disorders (PDF)
Multiple studies now demonstrate that autism is medically characterized, in part, by immune system dysregulation, including evidence of neuroglial activation and gastrointestinal inflammation. This neuroglial process has further been characterized as neuroinflammation. In addition, a subset of autistic children exhibit higher than average levels of androgens. Spironolactone is an aldosterone antagonist and potassium-sparing diuretic with […]
The potential importance of steroids in the treatment of autistic spectrum disorders and other disorders involving mercury toxicity (PDF)
In light of the fact that there are a number of other diseases that may have a chronic mercury toxicity component, such as Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, obesity, ALS, asthma, and other various forms of autoimmune disorders, it is imperative that further research should be conducted to understand mercury-testosterone toxicity.
The Puzzle of Autism-Spectrum Disorders: Biomedicine as an option for assessment and treatment of patients, including those with lyme disease and borrelia-related complex (PDF)
Transdermal Secretin for Autism – A Case Report (PDF)
Secretin hormone given daily in transdermal cream was associated with marked and sustained developmental progress in an aphasic two-and-a-half year old child diagnosed with autism.
4:1 Oil – The Right Stuff by Edward Kane (PDF)
The membrane surrounds and protects every cell of every organ including the tissues of the heart and the neurons of the brain. It is a remarkable this insulator, the protective outer skin, with a carbon copy duplicated over and over surrounding the tiny organelles inside each cell.
Curative effect of alpha-lipoic acid on peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetes: a clinical study (PDF)
ALA effectively improves the sensitive symptoms of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy patients and is safe for most of the patients.
Lipoic Acid: Biological Effects and Clinical Implications (PDF)
α−Lipoic acid is unique in its ability to act as an antioxidant in fat- and watersoluble tissues in both its oxidized and reduced forms. It is readily absorbed from an oral dose. Because of its myriad biological activities, including an ability to chelate metals and to scavenge a wide array of free radicals, α−lipoic acid […]
Phosphatidylcholine: Life’s Designer Molecule (PDF)
Of the tens of thousands of molecules that make up the life of a cell, phosphatidylcholine stands apart; it is possibly the most important of all.
The Long-term Survival of a Patient With Pancreatic Cancer With Metastases to the Liver After Treatment With the Intravenous Alpha Lipoic Acid/Low-Dose Naltrexone Protocol (PDF)
The authors describe the long-term survival of a patient with pancreatic cancer without any toxic adverse effects. The treatment regimen includes the intravenous alpha lipoic acid and low-dose naltrexone (ALA-N) protocol and a healthy lifestyle program.
