Autism Answers: Listen to Dr. Mensah talk about metabolic treatment and approaches to autism with media personality Lynette Louise at Internet Talk Radio about the autism puzzle. Also, discover why Dr. Mensah believes that Asperger syndrome is a completely different condition from autism and requires a different treatment protocol. This autism answers interview about biochemical treatment for autism is from an archived 2014 interview. Louise, host of the Autism Channel’s podcast program, “A New Spin on Autism” specializes in various autism programming subjects. Listen to this podcast to learn from Dr. Mensah how gene expression plays a role in autism, as well as epigenetics. Dr. Mensah explains how abnormal methylation and oxidative stress can cause most cases of autism.
Autism Answers to Top Questions
Is our environment increasingly more toxic? Is this causing an increase in the autism epidemic?
Dr. Mensah chats with Louise about concrete research that uncovers genetic, epigenetic, and leaky gut issues which can lead to an autism diagnosis.
Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome are Very Different
In this podcast learn how autism and Asperger’s syndrome are very different biochemical conditions. This is proven through the research of William Walsh, Ph.D., President of the Walsh Research Institute, who has the world’s largest database on actual brain chemistry and brain structure of children with autism versus children with Asperger syndrome.
In this podcast, Dr. Mensah explains why there are actual concrete biochemical differences between the Asperger patient and the autism patient. Dr. Mensah explains why these two conditions can’t be treated the same biochemically. He tells the audience autism and Asperger syndrome need very different treatment methods to achieve healing.
Dr. Mensah says, “Patients with autism and patients with Asperger syndrome have concrete biochemical and biological differences. The brain structures are completely different. With autism, there is an initial incapacity for brain cells to grow in the proper order. They usually grow from top to bottom, and from bottom to top and then they meet in the middle. What happens in spectrum disorders is that the nerve cells don’t actually meet in the middle as they are supposed to. There is a much greater distance. You don’t see this in Asperger’s disorder, actually.”
This 60-minute podcast discusses non-drug nutrient therapy for autism through the use of biochemical testing to create a custom-made nutrient therapy that varies for each individual patient.
Dr. Mensah explains the success rate of this type of treatment for patients on various levels of the autism spectrum. His greatest success is with patients on the high side of the spectrum. Patients with high-functioning autism can lose the diagnosis with individualized advanced nutrient therapy. Even patients with low-functioning autism will show advancements in overall wellness. There are many cognitive and behavioral issues in low-functioning autism. Dr. Mensah explains how intellectual capacity and survival are in jeopardy for patients who are truly affected by autism because autism is a neurodegenerative disorder. This means that A 21-year-old with autism will be less capable than they were as a 2-year-old if they are left without treatment at all.
