New Autism Research Provides Insight into Potential Autism Cure

(Newswire.net — June 2, 2014) Fountain Hills, AZ — 

As the media frequently reports, the incidence rate of Autism is rising rapidly.  Many people have theories about why this may be happening – from simply greater awareness, more aggressive screening, changes in definition of the disease, as well as several scientific factors.

While much discussion exists around the first three factors, this addresses the scientific factors. For, it is here where not only greater understanding of the disease can arise, but also potential hints toward optimal treatment for Autism.

A medical study was conducted at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York which provides remarkable evidence of how the environmental influences on genes likely play a role in the development of Autism.  

For quite some time scientists have concluded that both genes and environment play roles in the likelihood of Autism development, however this study provides significant evidence on the role of the advanced age of the parent.

The study conclusively demonstrates that men older than age 40 are at greater risk of having an Autistic child because of genetic mutations.  For women, anyone older than 35 exhibits increased risk.  These increased risks have both genetic and environmental factors involved.

 

An entire field known as “epigenetics” goes into great detail of how environmental impact can actually alter genes.  The future of Autism, and quite possibly a natural treatment for Autism, could come from this exciting and rapidly evolving field.

One of the study’s authors, Dr. John Greally, has this to share:  “Our findings suggest that, at least in some individuals with an ASD, the same pathways of the brain seem to [be] hit by both [gene] mutations and epigenetic changes.  So the severity of someone’s ASD may depend on whether or not a gene mutation is accompanied by epigenetic alterations to related genes.”

Scientists believe one of the more profound areas of environmental impact appears to be food intake.  Multiple studies have been conducted pointing toward a role of improper gluten digestion interfering with neurologic pathways.

Children with Autism exhibit symptom improvement when they are either on a Gluten-Free diet or when they are given a quality Autism supplement.  Specifically, the enzyme complex DDP-IV has been proven to be extremely effective.

Significant studies are still underway, but the patented version of DDP-IV called BioCore™ appears most promising.

One company, Purely Scientific, manufactures an Autism Supplement which incorporates this patented enzyme complex, along with medical-grade digestive enzymes and probiotics.  

Available on Amazon, this product, “3-in-1 Digestive Formula” has been hailed by pediatricians.
