Supplements for Children on the Spectrum |
|
In addition to detoxification products that help remove metals and chemicals from your child's body, targeted supplements geared towards correcting nutritional deficiencies can greatly help improve a child's health and wellbeing.
The following therapeutic supplements have been found both in scientific studies and in the experience of many families to be helpful for many children who have behavioral and developmental challenges. |
|
| Behavior Balance-
DMG™ Liquid |
|
Behavior Balance-DMG™ contains nutrients that work synergistically to balance behavior patterns, enhance socialization skills, support stress coping mechanisms, and support immune system function.
In an International Research Journal, Dr. Bernard Rimland, Ph.D, writes:
“I have been following the pangamic acid-DMG situation for almost 25 years. I have mentioned it in some of my lectures, and told parents and professionals about it in conversations and correspondence." |
|
| "Always I would ask, ‘If you try it, please let me know what results you see, even if no improvement is found.’
I am now so firmly convinced that DMG is helpful to a substantial proportion of children and adults that I have decided to ‘go public’ – to tell people about it freely and openly, so they may try it if they wish.” |
DMG or Dimethylgycine is a methyl donor. A methyl donor is simply any substance that can transfer a methyl group (a carbon atom attached to three hydrogen atoms) to another substance. Methylation is a biochemical process that is essential to life, health and regeneration of body cells. Scientists suspect that proper methylation of DNA may prevent the expression of harmful genes, such as cancer genes.
In 1965, two Russian investigators, M.G. Blumena and T.L. Belyakova, published a report showing considerable improvement in the speech of 12 of a group of 15 mentally handicapped children. The children had been treated with calcium pangamate. Subsequent research has shown the essential factor in calcium pangamate to be DMG.
Soon afterward, psychiatrist Allan Cott visited Moscow and brought back a small supply of pangamic acid, which he tried on a number of children, some of who were autistic. Many of Cott’s patients responded in the same way the Russian children had. |

Customer Feedback on using Behavior Balance - DMG™ Liquid |
 "Hi, I received the Behavior Balance Liquid DMG and have been using it on my son for the last few weeks. The pleasant taste of the black cherry makes it easier for him to take and we have noted an increase his his language skills. He also has been calmer and less agitated. A great product. Thank you. We will order more soon."

Sincerely, Christine and Andy L., Shoreham, NY
"Just to let you know how well the Behavior Balance works, here's what happened without it. My son's day at school was kinda rough and at night he only slept 2 1/2 hours. Then at 1:00 am, he woke up and began jumping on his bed and being very loud. He did this until 4:00 am. I had forgotten how he used to do this before we ever knew about Behavior Balance-DMG Liquid. Well, I was exhausted and so was he the next day. I hope you never quit offering this product. It really makes a difference!"

The skin produces approximately 10,000 IU of vitamin D when exposed to 20–30 minutes of summer sun. However, many children in today's world are not spending as much time outside and therefore are not being exposed to the UV rays that are necessary for natural vitamin D production in the skin. |

Lipoceutical™ Glutathione (GSH) |
|
We are pleased to offer a new product to assist children in detoxifying metals and chemicals. It is called Lipoceutical™ Glutathione.
It has been scientifically demonstrated that most children on the spectrum are significantly deficient in glutathione, and that this deficiency may contribute to developmental and behavioral symptoms.
Lipoceutical™ Glutathione has been used with success by thousands of people to assist in their detoxification protocol. |
|
Glutathione has been called the body's master antioxidant. Low levels impede the body's ability to detoxify and protect cells from damage, including brain cells. Increasing the levels of glutathione in the body results in protecting the brain cells and neurons from this damage.
Lipoceutical™ Glutathione is an oral form of glutathione that is quickly and efficiently absorbed into the bloodstream. A new technology encloses the glutathione molecule into liposomes, which are liquid bubbles made from essential phospholipids. Previously, all glutathione supplements had to be given either intravenously or transdermally, as glutathione is destroyed during digestion. This oral form of glutathione has a 90% absorption rate. |
|
Feedback from parents regarding Lipoceutical™ Glutathione |
Parent from Fitchburg, MA
"I have been giving the Lipoceutical Glutathione to my twin boys, Micah and Seth, who are 5 1/2. Since giving it to them 6 months ago, we have noticed a better sleeping pattern. They used to wake up every night at 2-4am. When on the Lipoceutical Glutathione, they sleep through the night. Also, Seth has become more verbal, he doesn't speak yet, but will try to imitate speech. Micah has begun to make more sounds as well.
We have seen enough of a positive change that we want to continue giving them the product.
Thank you."
Parent from Anthem, AZ
"We notice great things with the glutathione. Basically, we don't ever want to be without it. He needs it to get by on a daily basis. I started giving him the Lipoceutical Glutathione (a little more than 1/4 tsp) on an empty stomach upon waking, right before bed and I have added a dose in the middle of the day. We cannot believe the difference. It's AMAZING!! He seems almost recovered!"
Parent from Moline, Illinois
"As J--- has been back on the glutathione for one week...he has been very happy in mood, and his attention to his ABA therapy has improved signficantly... we saw great changes in him within days of his first doses. We are also doing the GFCF diet, but we saw much more of a dramatic improvement when we added this product."
Parent from Davenport, Iowa
"Within one week my son began to notice his sister for what seemed like the first time. He started to engage her to play. We also noticed an increase in frequency of language used. We believe this product jump-started our son's (now 200 word) vocabulary." |
| Natural Calm™ Magnesium Plus Calcium |
|
Magnesium is a supplement that is often recommended for children with mood and behavioral issues. The magnesium assists with panic attacks and other anxiety disorders, and it also helps with insomnia. We carry an excellent magnesium product for children called Natural Calm™ Plus Calcium by Natural Vitality™.
Calcium and magnesium, taken together, help to to make up for calcium deficiencies which are extremely common in children with restricted diets. Children on the spectrum are typically deficient in calcium due to gastrointestinal problems, malabsorption, and low dietary intake. |
|
Peter Gillham's Natural Calm Plus Calcium is formulated with 3 parts magnesium to 2 parts calcium, which can help maintain natural calcium levels in the body.
This special formulation includes vitamin D, boron and vitamin C, to assist in the assimilation, distribution and utilization of calcium. It also contains potassium to support heart, muscle and nerve cell function. You can't buy a better calcium-magnesium product.
Though the recommended doses are for adults, you can simply cut the dose in half for children. Serving size for children is 1/2 to 1 teaspoon daily, preferably at bedtime. |
"I have a 5 year old daughter and I have been giving her Kid's Calm™ every morning for a few months. It really helps to stabilize her mood. She is better able to focus in school because she is not so anxious as she usually is in social situations.
She loves the taste and the fact that is bubbles up when mixed with hot water. I mix it into her juice. Every morning she requests her "hot juice" with her breakfast. Thank you Evenbetternow for putting out such great products like Kid's Calm™."

| Common Nutrient Deficiencies in
Children on the Spectrum: |
- calcium
- selenium
- zinc
- magnesium
- vitamin A
- vitamin E
- vitamin D
|
- B-6
- B-12
- cysteine
- sulfate
- taurine
- methionine
- essential fatty acids
|
| In addition, these kids tend to have excesses of copper and glutamate, both which can be neurotoxic. These deficiencies, and excesses, can create dysfunction in the gastrointestinal system, the immune system, and the nervous system.
Supplementing the diet with these nutrients is critically important in helping your child achieve optimal wellness. Diet alone is not enough - these kids need more than the minimum daily requirements. Most of our kids have very restricted diets, and are not getting anywhere near the correct amounts of these nutrients.
These deficiencies can be overcome with the nutrients that are available in targetted supplements. Supplement therapy can improve the function of the immune system, the gastrointestinal system and the nervous system. |
