Nutritional therapy in autism

In autism spectrum disorders, multiple body systems are disrupted that cannot be repaired with medication. They must be addressed with nutritional therapy and a healthy lifestyle. Restoring the gut microbiome, treating digestive problems and allergies, strengthening the immune system, reducing inflammation, promoting detoxification and the antioxidant system, and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels are key to reducing core symptoms. Adjusting diet, increasing physical activity, and addressing stress can greatly improve autistic syndrome in most cases. But this is often not enough. People with autism usually have genetically increased needs for certain nutrients that cannot be met by healthy foods alone.

In this booklet, we discuss the key “nutritional medicines” that can effectively improve the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorders.
