THIS is how I've been treating myself w/ miraculous results.

I then learned that salicylate sensitivity is caused by Leaky Gut Syndrome

Unproven theory

Exponents of 'leaky gut syndrome' – largely nutritionists and practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine – believe the bowel lining can become irritated and 'leaky' as the result of a much wider range of factors, including an overgrowth of yeast or bacteria in the bowel, a poor diet and the overuse of antibiotics.

They believe that undigested food particles, bacterial toxins and germs can pass through the 'leaky' gut wall and into the bloodstream, triggering the immune system and causing persistent inflammation throughout the body. This, they say, is linked to a much wider range of health problems and diseases, including:

food allergies
migraine
tiredness and chronic fatigue syndrome
asthma
autoimmune diseases (where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues) such as lupus, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis
skin diseases like scleroderma
autism

A 2006 review explored the potential effect of manipulating the diet of people with autism, concluding that the dietary treatments were "cumbersome" and not proven to be effective.

Generally, eliminating foods from the diet is not a good idea unless it's strictly necessary (for example, if you have coeliac disease), as it can lead to nutritional deficiencies.

Please, folks, beware of overly elaborate diets... This can turn into an eating disorder.

Not to be too critical, but the things you write are very similar to what is mentioned in the above quote.

Also...

It's a temporary medicinal diet that should heal up what's been causing all the problems - not a permanent thing I'll have to do forever. I've been so strict on it because my symptoms were so bad and I want the benefits of it asap.

So scroll down about 3/4 of the way or so where there's a little extra break in the text and the diet info starts. Do read the bits about herbal enemas, too, as it's more than just diet that's enabled me to heal these digestive issues that cause the neurological issues as quickly as I've managed to do so thus far.

So don't take any creatine, that's not a necessary part of this diet - just something I take for bodybuilding purposes. The L-glutamine, on the other hand, is a crucial part of stage 2 as it's one of few supplements that repairs the intestinal lining once it's free of parasites perforating holes in it in the first place. L-glutamine isn't processed crap, it's refined nutrition - big difference. GMO's are made in a lab crap. Proper supplements are simply refined out of natural ingredients so as to be able to get a concentrated dose of them vs. consuming mass quantities of the foods that contain them.

Looks to me like you found a good if extreme cure for your candida, and that helps you then I'm happy that you have recovered from your illness.

I still disbelieve your claims of a cure for autism though, simply because there is no medical evidence that you ever had autism apart from having read a couple of books

I see no correlation whatsoever between a diet with enemas and curing a neurological condition like autism - if it was that simple then scientists would have already started to develop those regimes.

Here in Europe where it would be far cheaper to cure autism through a diet than it is to provide all the help and support those with ASD require from their governments.

I do see diet as being essential to good health, both mental and physical, and I'm very conscious and careful of what I eat, but I don't kid myself that any diet is going to cure my ASD.

Oh man, you just lost me at herbal enemas (I mean unless somebody did some studies and proved they worked - are any of those links pointing to something like that)?

I really think you need to work on presentation. You should have maybe made a pdf with shorter sections and some summary for each link so we would know if we wanted to click on it. And like I said, sample menus. The fact that you presented it like this doesn't bode well for your head being as clear as you think it is, this is like something I would do! And I'm not cured at all!

Anyway, congrats on getting it done, glad you're feeling better - I know how you feel about this diet because going gluten free made amazing changes in my gut and I would never go back either. The problem is just no proof you had it, no proof it cured anything, no formal studies. It's tough for you that we're being so critical, but you have your health now and that's great!

Please, folks, beware of overly elaborate diets... This can turn into an eating disorder. I'm serious; people's lives have been taken over by trying to find the "perfect" way to eat, the perfect combination of supplements. My mom had times when she spent most of her free time on it--she didn't have a life because she spent all her time thinking about food, planning meals, tracking down organic food, etc. And if it gets bad enough, people can die of it. It's been termed "orthorexia" by the people studying it.

I definitely see the benefits of eating nutritious food that works with the way your body behaves, but please don't get stuck in the trap of trying to perfect it. In reality, your body is quite flexible. Given the right nutrients and enough calories, people can live on just about any diet. Think about the many different ways people around the world live, from gathering wild fruit to hunting seals. Humans are extreme omnivores.

Your first priority is simply getting enough to eat. Secondly, getting a good variety. And if something bothers you, then don't eat it. That is practically all you need to know, autistic or not.

Don't let people politicize and stigmatize you for what you eat. It's food; it's fuel; it shouldn't be a religion or a test of purity or a way to determine who's responsible or healthy or disciplined and who's not.

The evidence I have is my lifetime of experiences that match precisely to Autism/Asperger's as described in detail in The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome by Dr. Tony Attwood as well as to the autobiographies of John Michael Carley & John Elder Robison etc. whether you believe me or not makes no difference to what I know to be true. Further, I know what's changed in the last 6 months or so & it is Night & Day differences. I have never been happier or healthier in my entire life, and the autism/other symptoms are down ~95%.

This is directed to you, but also to everyone else in general:

why hypothesize about me being incorrect and make assumptions and jump to conclusions rather than be open minded about the possibility that what physically afflicted me and caused these symptoms MAY be the same in you.. and in turn, the possibility that what I've done that's benefited me immensely may also work for you? why not try it and find out for yourself, your health, your life vs. make up reasons not to? If you try it and do it religiously you'll notice significant benefits within the first few weeks or so. It won't take 6 months to figure out whether it's doing you any good or not. Also, take a look at an iridology chart & check out your own iris' for indication of leaky gut as a preliminary diagnostic tool.

To each their own; but I choose health.

Anyone who sets out to do anything can go ahead and do it. It really is that simple. If you have a reason strong enough to accomplish something, you'll find the strength to do it. Same applies to all goals in life.

I never said it was the ONLY cause of Autism/other disorders - but it certainly is A cause.

I don't need the title of "scientist," to know what I've experienced/observed/learned. I am recognized as an Industrial Engineering Technologist, and while that's a far cry from anything related to medicine, I'm not an idiot by any stretch of the imagination and am only mentioning that title just to point out that I'm formally educated in observing & improving things - and it matters not whether they're manufacturing systems or medical issues - problem solving is problem solving. Like I said in my other thread, I'll put it out there and it's up to others whether they want to try it for themselves or not. I have no interest in creating a medical study in order to satisfy skeptics. It is what it is, take it or leave it. I realize full well how stubborn some of us can be and have no time or desire to put the energy into convincing people to do this for themselves - either you want to give it a shot and see if it helps you or you don't. From my own family members' reluctance to try it for themselves I've learned that trying to convince others to do this is next to impossible, so, like I said - it's working miraculously for me, and there's the info, feel free to do with it what you will, or don't, your call.

You can think whatever you like. I'm telling you from my experience that this IS the root cause of my symptoms, and healing it has reduced them by more than 95% thus far and I continue to improve, getting healthier and happier, fitter and stronger, more focused and motivated etc. Life is getting much much better and with continued hard work is going to get very very good.

I've had all of these symptoms all of my life like many people here. It's only now that I've learned what's caused them and how to heal it. These disorders, in my experience, aren't independent genetic conditions, but rather symptoms of a physical ailment that's entirely curable.

GMO's & herbicides/pesticides are poison. Consume them all you wish.

It temporarily limits what foods people can enjoy for the long term benefit of being healthier and happier for life. To me, that's worth the minor sacrifice of sticking to this diet for however long it takes - say, a year in total. If your life & happiness aren't worth a year or so of following a diet/healing protocol, then so be it, don't do this for yourself - it's not my life you're affecting so I really couldn't care less.

Yes, I hope others are willing to give this a go and see if it works for them as it is me.

Lol I like pizza, too, but I haven't had any in half a year because it's about the most toxic (to me) food there is! One day I'll enjoy a slice again, but not until I've completely healed all of this.

I'll try to help you understand:

1: You repeatedly gave everyone a bad impression by the way you tried to sell it in the beginning.

2: when you finally presented it, it was a long rambling smushed up mess.

3. We don't know you (at least I don't) - I don't know anything about you really - but you seem baffled that we are not just taking the word of some virtual stranger that we should all go on some crazy ass extreme expensive diet that he can't even write out in a way that we can read and understand.

4. All of the above makes it hard to believe that you are cured and your head is clear.


If you want someone to buy something (even if they're buying something that's free), you have to sell it. You've kind of been anti-selling it.

Does that help?

I still believe that you mean well, but I just can't buy it.
