OVERVIEW

Brainchild's Multi-System Nutritional Support

BrainChild liquid supplements have been developed by a team of caring parents and health practitioners with a 15-year history of research, scientific inquiry, and first hand observation.  Here is an overview of our whole-body approach to supporting those with autism, ADD/HD and neuro-environmental illnesses.

OUR APPROACH

We look at the body as a set of interlocking sensitive systems, which are designed to be in balance.  These systems do not work well if any of them is out of sync.  Our modern environment has exposed all of us to many substances which our bodies were not designed for:  heavy metals, pesticides, plastics, radiation and synthetic chemicals are all examples of things we are exposed to which may throw the body out of balance.  Mercury alone, which is found in vaccines, dental fillings and the smoke from coal mines, is a huge disruptor of multiple body systems.  A relatively small exposure to mercury, in a person with susceptible genetics, can throw many body systems out of balance, starting with digestion, and continuing all the way to the brain.  To compound things, some toxins multiply each other's effects.  Add aluminum to mercury, for example, and you have ten times as much damage.   Environmentally toxic people are the canaries in the coal mine:  the ones of us who are the most sensitive to this damage.  The worst tragedy is that most environmentally toxic people don't know what's making them ill until they are very sick indeed, and the damage is not easy to undo.

This is where our knowledge of autism comes in handy for the rest of the human race.  Our autistic kids are the canaries for the canaries: truly the very most vulnerable to neurological damage by toxins, and the ones whose genetics tip them over the edge before most of us would be affected. 

What we have found in helping children on the spectrum for over ten years is that there is hope:  With knowledge of the nature of the problem, we can walk them back from the brink. 

We find that we can start to take steps in the right direction, naturally and gently, with good results.  We start with digestion, and work our way to the brain and other body systems affected by heavy metals and toxins.  At every point, we go slowly and wait for the body to guide us, remembering how sensitive these individuals are, and letting improvement happen at the body's own pace.  Here are the main steps to our approach:


1. Help the body to absorb crucial nutrients that were previously missing (many foods irritate these people's bodies, so we use liquid forms, which are easily absorbed, and non-food sources, which are less likely to be allergens)  more info

          

2. Balance the gut and soothe irritated digestive mucosa.  This is where our Yeast-Fighting tools come in!  more info

 

3. Support the liver and other organs of detoxification and encourage healthy levels of glutathione (the master detoxification antioxidant.  Our Natural Detoxification Program is designed for sensitive individuals.  more info

We see bodies react to this gentle, multi-tiered approach like flowers in the desert, opening up gradually and blossoming into their potential for being normal and healthy.  Some of this may take take months or years, depending on the individual, but we have seen that it is possible.  We have seen them get better.

This gives us hope for all environmentally ill people everywhere, who may have a slightly different constellation of symptoms, but not a fundamentally different one.  Physicians such as Dr. Taylor, in the Doctors section of the website, tell us that the environmentally sick adults in their practice react the same way as the children we have helped for so long.  More and more of these environmentally ill adults are finding us every day, and telling us that they see the same things.   They feel better, with more vitality, and gradually these extremely sensitive people see their bodies tolerating more foods and being able to detoxify themselves better than before using our gentle approach, without the debilitating symptoms caused by products not made as carefully as ours.
