The Cookie Test is a way of determining if your child is not making eye contact because they are unaware that they are being addressed by someone, or if it is because they are choosing not to acknowledge the person for reasons such as shyness, defiance or anxiety. nnTo test this simply offer your child a desirable item such as a cookie or an ice cream. If the child looks at you and gives you their attention when you offer them the item, then they are aware and not lost in the fog of Autism. You can be reassured that on the occasions where your child is not acknowledging you it is not due to a overgrowth of intestinal bacteria and the sedating effects of propionic acid.

In an effort to reduce Omega 6 oil consumption I recommend that my patients cook and prepare foods with either COOC-certified extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil, and palm kernel oil. However, as long as you are consuming the approved EVOO at the recommended daily dose it will protect you from the occasional use of other oils and fats used in cooking.
Although this would be ideal, it is not at all practical. The olive oil you consume daily at home will protect you from the small amounts of inflammatory oils you might get from a single restaurant meal.
Yes, it is ok to cook with ghee.
Some products will say that they contain either a prohibited or an acceptable oil (e.g. “may contain soybean oil or canola oil”). The consumer is left to wonder which oil is being used in the product. I personally err on the side of caution and try to avoid products whose ingredients are not clear to me.
