In this podcast, we’re going to talk about autism and what I personally think might be beneficial for children with autism.
What is different about an autistic brain and a normal brain?
• There is a defect in autophagy
• Low vitamin D
• Low folate
• Dysmyelination
• Related intestinal problems (there is a connection between the digestive system and the brain)
Here are my personal opinions and recommendations for autism:
• Breastfeed for as long as possible
• Rid gluten from the diet
• Rid casein from the diet
• Detox heavy metals (silica may be a good option)
• Selenium and zinc
• Healthy keto (plus exogenous ketones and MCT oil)
• Fasting
• Vitamins D and C

| 0:21.6 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Now, in this video, I'm going to talk about autism and what I personally |
| 0:47.5 | would recommend to parents who have a child who develop autism. Now, there are certain things that unfortunately I can't really talk about for various reasons |
| 0:58.4 | related to this topic. |
| 1:00.0 | So I'm going to keep this fairly basic, but this is what I would recommend for a child |
| 1:06.5 | who is suffering from autism. |
| 1:09.3 | First question is, what is different about an autistic brain in a normal brain? |
| 1:14.7 | One big thing is this. There's a defect in autophagy. Atophagy is a condition where the cells are cleaning up |
| 1:26.1 | old damaged proteins. |
| 1:28.6 | It's like a recycler. |
| 1:30.4 | So if there's a defect in the ability to clean up damaged brain tissue |
| 1:36.4 | or waste products in the brain or some byproduct in the brain that shouldn't be there, |
| 1:42.3 | it can leave the brain overly excited and create |
| 1:46.1 | a lot of cognitive problems. There's also a high incident of low vitamin D in autistic children. |
| 1:54.0 | Low folate, which by the way, low folate allows the cells to be damaged very easily because folate helps protect the DNA from being |
| 2:04.2 | damaged. So you're having a lot of damage in the brain and a lot of free radical damage and |
| 2:08.7 | oxidative stress. You're also getting some dysfunction in the myelin. That's the outer covering |
| 2:15.5 | around the nerves and brain neurons. So we're getting a dysfunction of that myelin. That's the outer covering around the nerves and brain neurons. So we're getting a |
| 2:19.9 | dysfunction of that myelin. And there's usually always a related intestinal problem with these kids. |
| 2:29.2 | Over 90% of the time, they have big swollen bellies. Now there's actually a connection between the digestive |
