Parasites are erroneously diagnosed and over-treated in my opinion. Obviously, I live in the U.S., where the incidence of parasitic infections is much lower. Unless you have a traditional test from a large certified reference lab (LabCorp, Quest), or hospital I would question the results or advice that your child is infected with parasites and requires treatment.
Without seeing the quality of the test report, I can’t really comment but can say in general that parasites are excessively diagnosed and over-treated, in my opinion. Unfortunately, some questionable laboratories identify a group of organisms that we carry called protozoa, and they are erroneously being treated when it is not warranted. If someone claims your child has a parasite, please have it confirmed by a traditional medical physician. Intestinal parasites are very easy to diagnose and treat reliably, and long-term treatment with anti-parasitic medications can further disrupt the intestinal balance of your child’s gut bacteria.
True parasitic infections can cause abnormal behaviors but would predictably resolve once the infection is adequately treated. I’m afraid I disagree with the general view that yeast, parasites (those that are not detectable by conventional methods), or streptococcus colonization/overgrowth have anything to do with autism and negative behaviors.
Yes. The Nemechek Protocol for Autonomic Recovery is designed to reduce elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the presence of abnormally primed M1- microglia. These 2 pathological processes prevent recovery from brain injury, interfere with neuronal/synaptic pruning, interfere with brain development in utero, and are a key feature of the neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS). It is capable of reversing a wide range of chronic neurological conditions (migraine and cluster headaches, chronic fatigue, generalized anxiety, depression/PTSD, ADD/ADHD) as well as intestinal disorders (heartburn, reflux, IBS, constipation, diarrhea, etc.), and it’s potent anti-inflammatory effect substantially reduces symptoms associated with autoimmune disorders (Crohn’s, psoriasis, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s, etc.)
I believe that bedwetting is related to autonomic dysfunction, and it will improve with my protocol.
Yes! Dr. Nemechek has a peer-reviewed paper in the Journal Applied Psychiatry that reviews the basic components of The Nemechek Protocol for Autism and Developmental Disorders. Bringing a printed copy of this article to your physician or therapist may nudge them a little closer to accepting the protocol’s validity.
The concept of peetox is not medically valid. Humans do not build up toxins in their bodies unless they have kidney or liver failure or heavy metal (e.g., lead) poisoning. There is no evidence that detoxing strategies lead to benefits because of a toxin-releasing phenomenon via the urine. I am aware however, that there are incidents where children may start wetting the bed or having accidents when first starting and yes that can sometimes occur early on in recovery and is related to autonomic dysfunction, and will improve with my protocol.
Yes. Often within a few months of starting The Nemechek Protocol, pica behaviors often stop occurring
No specific laboratory studies are indicated in the evaluation of pica. However, your physician may check iron or zinc levels, as deficiencies in these are sometimes associated with this behavior.
