ADD, Autism and Dyslexia RESOURCES

Because the brain is firmly attached to the body (hopefully) and shares both its resources and threats, it should come as no surprise that the brain and nervous system thrive or struggle based on everything that we do. Genetics plays some role in every health concern, but the more controllable factors such as nutrition and toxicity from multiple sources should be explored. Why did I put all three of these issues on the same page? It is because of the overlap. Just because a factor is categorized below, that doesn’t mean it may not also be involved in other conditions. For example, the Irlen Institute offers help for those with problems with handling visual information and that can be a factor in all three of these conditions. It seems that our gut bacteria are a factor in virtually every condition. So, although this study focused on Autism spectrum, probiotics should be considered in all three of these. Likewise, a study showed that giving probiotics to infants dramatically reduced the incidence of ADHD and Asperger Syndrome. By age 13, 17.1% of the children in the placebo had a diagnosis compared to none in the probiotic treated group.

I used a photo of a boy for this page because boys are nearly 5 times more likely to be affected.
