Great video
Excelent class!!!
I would like to see this knowledge been more widelly spread.
We see that behavoral approaches to autism has been used (ABA) but very little is done in the food field.
Betcha their mothers had gestational diabetes when pregnant, and then couldn’t breast feed and gave the baby formula such as Prosobee (90 per cent seed oils)
Bravo! Great presentation!
How long does it take for a metabolic unhealthy person to become healthy again ? Is it possible at all ?
While metabolic disorders clearly can affect brain development, so can heavy metals in vaccines. We can’t ignore this huge factor as there’re lots of accounts of children developing perfectly fine until an obvious downhill straight after vaccination. It would therefore be great to study vaccinated vs unvaccinated children with and without metabolic factors in the family
Interesting that at no point did she mention the importance of green vegetables.
