Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Function in Autism

 

Reseach in autism clinics and scientific studies show that there are many underlying causes of autism.  These factors and the environment effect genes that may predispose an individual to manifesting symptoms and behaviors of autism.  When your mitochondria are not working right, the energy necessary for the brain to work right, this mitochondrial dysfunction will lead to underfunctioning and malfunctioning of the brain.  This is often overlooked in the typical doctor visit related to autism.  However, there are clear clinical proofs of the positive turn-around of children with autism when the mitochondrial dysfunction is addressed.

Of course, there are other factors proven to be related to autism and how to mitigate and even reverse it. Besides mitochondrial Dysfunction and Autism, there are other things that must be looked at in a comprehensive approach. Such as the intestinal flora, mold overgrowth, damage due to repeated antibiotic use, deficiencies in various vitamins and minerals, food allergies, fight or flight system overactivity, brain-gut inflammation factors, environmental toxins, and structural issues such as meningeal compression.

At The Redwood Clinic we look at all these factors (including mitochondrial Dysfunction and Autism) in a comprehensive fashion when helping our patients with brain-related dysfunction and related behaviors.
