Autistic Children May Be Helped by Nutrients Absorbed Through the Skin

Many austic children have digestive disabilites that do not allow good absorption of vitamins and minerals from the foods they eat. Further, often times their diet is quite restrictive which again limits the capability of necessary nutrient achievement. Pills, capsules are not usually well taken, and if they are finally swallowed, again face the fact of intestinal malabsorbtion.

There is an ongoing unofficial study of transdermal vitamin and/or mineral cremes applied to the skin of austic children to see how much improvement is acheived in speech, eye contact, mobility, social interaction, self-care improvement, etc., with its use. The skin absorbs the particular nutrients - i.e. replenishes those deficient nutrients that the body is unable to absorb from foods through normal intestinal digestion/absorption activity. And the growing body must obtain true nutrition for true recovery/health.

There is limited acceptance to the above study but to obtain more information you may go to www.starrwalker.com where there is contact information. The site that produces the transdermal cremes is www.sb3.com and has a lot of pertinent information (free). Current study information is not available at that site, but the products are.

The arches of the feet have some of the largest pores in the body and the most rapid full body absorption of nutrients is achieved by putting a particular creme there. Some of the cremes have been specifically noted to make marked and rapid differences by placing some of the transdermals on the temples, perhaps on the abdomen over the liver area. Laboratory tests have confirmed that skin absorption greatly increased the intake of the needed vitamins and minerals. Observed positive changes in behavior, personal and social maturation of the austic child has shown quite dramatic improvement sometimes in a matter of days.

It has been found that many autistic children as well as adults are high in sulfite production, both by genetics and by diet. When the sulfite levels are excessively high the body cannot utilize magnesium or glutathione as needed, and these two are vital for antioxidant health!

A test for sulfite levels may be done at home, is very inexpensive, and will let you know where those statistics are, giving you information as to how much supplement assistance is needed. Glutathione is one of the highest activity antioxidants in the body, and magnesium is vital for many successful chemical pathways to operate correctly. Neither of these products is orally absorbable efficiently enough if you are deficient in them. In particular, if your magnesium levels are too low, along with many other classes of symptomotology, the body cannot well utilize what glutathione is present. The sulfite test or futher test information is available at the www.starrwalker.com site.

There is much, very needed work to be furthered in this area. If you have need of assistance for your family or friends with autistic children particularly, do investigate the posibility of definite help in this new era of transdermal nutrition. The replenishment of inadequate vital nutrients via transdermal cremes is such a simple possibility and can make truly 'a world of difference' for a child - and family.

There is a book titled, "Take Him Home and Love Him" published by Mary Ann Puckett. Her book is available in book stores, at www.amazon.com, or by contacting her website at www.autismreality.com . She is the mother of a now grown autistic son and elaborates well on her struggle with the legal system for assistance, and with tremendous information regarding the search for medical help for her son. She speaks at conferences across the nation where she is striving to give much needed information from her own experiences.
