Parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) describe that their children
habits improve when they eat a gluten free diet. Grains such as wheat, barley,
dairy products; casein all contain Gluten. However the point of debate is that
does truly gluten free diet improves behavior, is it backed by evidence or is a
misnomer?
Well, the answer is that there is no harm in trying a gluten
free diet but parents should be aware of the dietary requirements of children
and ensure that the child is taking adequate amount of nutrition. Essential proteins, vitamins and minerals
such as Vitamin A, C, zinc, calcium is essential for the overall development of
mind and body, thus it is necessary to ensure they are being taken in
adequate quantity. Parents can make a chart of the entire nutritional intake
and compare if anything needs to add in the dietary habits.
Another very important Treatment for Autism
Spectrum Disorders is Stem Cell Therapy. Stem cells are basic building
blocks of our body. And these Stem cells help our body to repair and rejuvenate
itself. The technological advancements have allowed scientists to isolate these
stem cells, enrich in the laboratory and re infused back into the body. Once
inside the body, these stem cells are known to secrete growth factors and
cytokine responsible for stimulation of micro environment to facilitate
regeneration of damaged or weakened cells. These stem cells can able to home at
the site of injury depending upon the signals created by micr oenvironment and
boost up the process. Stem cells are aspirated from two of the most potent
sources of our body, Bone Marrow and Adipose Tissue.
For example: Advancells has successfully treated children
suffering from ASD with miraculous results and their parents are very happy and consider Stem Cell
Technology as a blessing for their children.
Thus it can be convincingly concluded that Stemcell therapy is emerging as a promising medium to treat Autism Spectrum
Disorder.
