If your child seems to develop an illness quite frequently, their immune system is likely in a weakened state. The way to accomplish this is through a strong immune system, and diet can play a big role in strengthening immune resistance to bacteria and viruses.
The following is a list of considerations to apply biomedical autism treatment to help support a health body and immune system for autism-spectrum children (ASD):
Whole Foods Diet - A whole foods diet contains quality sources of protein (poultry, fish, eggs, lean meats, beans, nuts, nut butters) lots of fresh fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds and high quality fats and oils such as flax oil, olive oil and coconut oil. You want to eliminate as many processed foods as possible - foods that are processed with chemicals, preservatives, additives, flavor enhancers, artificial colors and sweeteners, added sugar and hydrogenated oils.
If your child is eating high sugar foods regularly throughout the day - candy, cookies, doughnuts, ice cream, soda, sugary cereals, and products with corn syrup or high fructose corn syrup - their immune system is likely censored all the time. Eliminate Dairy Products - Cow's milk dairy foodstuffs can be mucous forming foods. Many children on the autism-spectrum have a history of chronic ear and respiratory infections. There are two types of essential fatty acids (EFAs) - omega 6 and omega 3. Sources high in omega 3 EFAs include fish oil, flax oil, krill oil and cod liver oil. EFAs are important for the immune system and aid to regulate activity of white blood cells (T-cells and B-cells) that fight off infections.
Include Probiotics - Probiotics are beneficial bacteria. The mucosa of the mouth, respiratory and intestinal tracts are considered to be our first line immune defense. Probiotics help to enhance the effectiveness of our mucosal immune system.
Whole Food Nutritional Supplement - A great way to obtain a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, etc. is to use powdered greens. 1-2 tablespoons flax oil or fish oil
1-2 tablespoons partially ground flax seeds
1-2 tablespoons powdered greens
Mix well in blender.
