SCNM in Alt Med Review
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are common and complex neurodevelopmental conditions. Diagnostic criteria for these conditions have traditionally relied solely on behavioral criteria without consideration for potential biomedical underpinnings.Newer evidence presented in the most recent publication of Alternative Medicine Review reveals that ASD’s are associated with: oxidative stress; decreased methylation capacity; limited production of glutathione; mitochondrial dysfunction; intestinal dysbiosis; increased toxic metal burden; immune dysregulation, characterized by a unique inflammatory bowel disease and immune activation of neurogial cells; and ongoing brain hypoperfusion.
The paper published by James Jeffrey Bradstreet, MD, adjunct professor of pediatrics at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine; Matthew Baral, ND, Chairman of the pediatric medicine program and associate professor of pediatrics at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine; along with Daniel A. Rossignal, MD; and Scott Smith, PA, both from the International Child Development Resource Center in Melbourne, Florida goes on to state that many of the same problems are common features in children with ADHD.
