Hi! I am mother of 3 n half year old son with symptoms suggestive of autism....was searching for latest treatments ( at research level)....came across the Nemchek protocol.....its a trio of using omega 9 etc....if anyone here has an experience please let me know......should I tak a chance to try....or shouldn’t I?
I have started doing for my son, after doing lots of research and talking to my Dr friends and relatives. They said there is nothing harmful in trying this protocol. I do know personally few mums doing this protocol.
Improvements we have seen so far
less agitated
sleeps better
doesn't need movicol for his constipation
more awareness
School also said, he was calm and settled well.
His gross motor skills improved like he can catch and throw a ball
started blowing balloon
more sounds
started showing interest to play with new things.
There is no cure for Autism, but Nemecheck protocol recommendation reducing Omega 6 in the diet and increasing Omega 3 and Omega 9- is research based and inulin is also good for the gut.
Sorry, just need to add I wasn't taking these for any thing to do with autism
There is no cure for autism; no medical or dietary intervention can make an autistic person stop being autistic. End of.
The things that will improve your son's quality of life are;
Having and keeping to a schedule (and explaining clearly what will happen when, esp. if doing a novel activity, e.g. a holiday). This could include a visual timetable.
Avoiding potential sensory overstimulation (loud noises/bright lights/scratchy clothing/etc.).
Ensuring there are retreats if needed for him to recharge in a prolonged social situation.
Making school and playgroup, etc. aware and working with them to help your son succeed academically and socially.
Very importantly, not encouraging him to mask (pretend not to be autistic) as this is draining and very bad for mental health in the long run, which includes not stopping him carrying out comforting repetitive behaviours (e.g. arm flapping).
I'm not sure what the 3 things are but I do know about inulin and omega 3 both at highish doses, inulin dietry fibre the one we used was extracted from chicory and tastes sweet, I'm sure you can get it without the sweet taste as well.
Inulin at highish doses causes bloating which is uncomfortable
Omega 3 at highish doses causes loose stools (sorry I can't work out how to spell the d word)
And having had high doses of both it didn t make me any less autistic.
