Autism and Vitamin D

1. Autism and Vitamin D Over the past few years, evidence has been mounting that vitamin D deficiency plays a key role in autism. Vitamin D regulates thousands of coding genes in the human genome. Research indicates that vitamin D stimulates specific factors in the body that can have a beneficial effect on this disorder. C.A.T (Customized Autism Treatment) is a treatment method that provides a tailored response to patients’ individual autism symptoms. The treatment helps to decrease autism symptoms and improve deficient metabolic processes by identifying the root of the problem and prescribing an individually-tailored treatment protocol. The C.A.T method is based on extensive analysis of advanced laboratory tests data and understanding of metabolic disorders and scientific mechanisms, such as: •the biosynthesis pathway and the catabolism of neurotransmitters. •the understanding of the tight connection between inflammatory processes in the body and their direct effect on the production of the neurotransmitter Serotonin. •detection and repair of defective biochemical processes including deficient methylation processes that impair the Glutathione’s functionality. •impaired sulfation processes. •oxidative stress. •understanding of the microbiome. •detecting deficiencies that are co-factors in the synthesis of the neurotransmitters Noradrenalin, Serotonin and Dopamine.
