AUTISM
Nutritional Support Protocol
Lifestyle Recommendations:
1. Avoid antibiotics, acetaminophen, aspirin and prescription drugs.
2. Participate in vigorous aerobic exercise for 20 minutes, 3 - 4 times each week. Exercise reduces
anxiety, improves sleep, and helps those with autism to maintain normal weight.
3. Engage in mental exercise by consistently learning new skills and information.
4. Avoid exposure to heavy metal toxins such as mercury, arsenic, copper, aluminum, and lead. A study
showed that 6 out of every 18 children with autism have extremely high levels of toxins in their
bodies. Cognitive, physiological, and behavior issues can all stem from toxin build-up.
Dietary Recommendations:
1. Gluten and casein containing foods should be eliminated. Especially avoid all wheat flour products
such as pasta and bread as well as dairy products such as milk and cheese.
2. Avoid or limit caffeine and other potentially neurotoxic compounds like aspartame and MSG.
3. Emphasize omega 3 fatty acids (salmon, mackerel, herring) and omega 9 fats (olive oil, olives,
almonds, hazelnuts, avocados and macadamia oil).
4. Eat 5-9 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily OR add one heaping tablespoon of
PaleoGreens and PaleoReds to your favorite drink.
5. Consume PaleoMeal or Whey Cool daily to raise glutathione levels.
