Dr. Nemechek discusses why the “Awakening” that occurs in Autistic children utilizing The Nemechek Protocol and what it represents from an autonomic perspective.
Autonomic recovery, as well as for autism, developmental disorders, and learning “awakening” in kids. now, the “awakening” is a after they start the protocol, in a child occur when you have, excuse me, a child with just a developmental disorder, or a in general, is a seemingly “worsening” of some symptoms. between just add, which is cumulative brain injury, or – and
Then also somebody with some developmental delay and add – them and autism, is that autism has the addition of that chemical being made by the bacteria, called propionic acid. the propionic acid tends to be kind of like a sedative on the kids, as well as compound. and so, you may have a kid with some just mild developmental issues, something worsens your gut bacteria –
Vaccine, a probiotic, we see a whole bunch it’ll worsen it, and now the bacteria makes this propionic acid. and, your of like they’re on too much drug from the psychiatrist, they aren’t even now their room. and then you see these weird kind of behaviors, okay, they’ll be light switch, or just looking at their fingers, and so forth, and so that’s and this chemical seems
To have this sedating along, they’re getting some injuries, okay, heads and falling down, or they’re emotional traumas, or other inflammatory kind of injuring the brain, and they build up more, and more, neurological so here’s where the awakening comes in – we fix the gut bacteria, that propionic drops, and the kids kind of snap out of it, in a way. so in one respect,
They’re drugs and now they’re like, you know, more clear-headed, they’re looking at you, you by the hand and try to tell you what to speak but they’re trying to point to things, or they’re much more interactive come out of this, is things seem, (doesn’t always happen) but things can kind of whatever the behaviors are, or they can’t tendency for self-harm. you know, some
Kids might get a kind of aggressive. some and so, what, what is causing this, alright? you know, most of my work is done many, many, of them are anxious. very anxious. and part of this – it’s kind of a noradrenaline. it’s a fight-or-flight hormone and that the body’s trying to so you have this fight, or-flight, panicky kind of it is a inability, well, so you’ll see people
Have pain, anxious and whatever and they can’t we seeing? i think part of it is similar of noradrenaline. part of it can be the awareness of their situation, can cause and then a third part, is their inability to modulate your emotions the sympathetic/parasympathetics okay? and the, it’s a balance, so sympathetics and the parasympathetics are your calming, resting, kind of
Health circumstances) say you’re in traffic, okay, parasympathetics are modulating the intensity of your reactions to the everything’s okay, and maybe then suddenly a ball rolls out in the street, and your parasympathetic will change, they actually weaken, and that allows your sympathetics to become “oh my gosh!” you know you hit the brakes, you worry about is actually being
Controlled by your autonomic nervous system because it’s the kids get the ball, and everything’s okay, you’re back in the car, you’re down, and now you’re driving along feeling fine, okay. people, all the things that happen, our ability to modulate, to interact with autonomic nervous system, okay. in children that gets broken, and they have though they may just be driving in
A little residential area, it’s calm, they’re hitting the brakes, they’re fearful be even the opposite – there’s you know, bicycles you might hit with a car, and everything, and your brain can’t even to this as – when this is broken – as so internalization of emotions is when you have an excessive inward, as the name implies. this is kind of, you isolate, kids will isolate
They’re depressed, okay. that kind of stuff is internalization and is a excessive state, or excessive reactivity of the parasympathetics. have more aggression, more anger, more, you seeing with this “awakening” in kids is the sedative effects of propionic acid goes away, the kids are, you know, lightheaded because their autonomics are broken – that’s making them anxious.
They have trouble modulating their emotionality, like we can as adults, responses, okay. now the good news is, around the 4-6 week mark, parents often will report that they see it’s getting better. brain is actually starting to repair itself, okay. cause actually what so, you fix the gut bacteria, propionic acid goes away, you know, the kids kind of snap out of it because
The sedative effect is gone, you’re in the children, and then they start to repair phase. and so…now, if you don’t see that improvement all the supplements. we want to…i’ll typically kind of bump up the fish oil some parents have this belief that the inulin does this, and the antibiotic, as you do with the inulin. it’s just that if you start cut the inulin dose down,
You don’t get as much…control of the bacterial overgrowth and your propionic acid levels go up, and that’s a sedative, and it calms them down. so that’s really what’s happening here. now that’s not a bad strategy, to recover, but that’s, just so you know, it’s this exact phenomenon in kids that are, that use the rifaximin, alright. and, unfortunately, it’s a process,
If kids able to get through. we’re trying to work speed that up, or to maybe make that less anyhow, i hope you find this useful, this is dr. patrick nemechek of nemechek autonomic medicine from buckeye, arizona. have a great day!
