Diet for Autism, ADHD and Chronic Illness

This diet was designed by Stan Kurtz through a combination of research and experience. This diet connects the principles of the SCD (Specfiic Carbohydrate Diet), the removal of gluten and casien and what we have observed as commonly leaking through the gut and causing autoimmune issues based on IGG Food Allergy Tests (Great Plains Laboratories or others). We continue to have excellent results using this diet.

You can view videos of recoveries based on this diet here.

The Caveman Diet

(Only the items on this list. When in doubt you can contact us.)

Organic Meats and Fish (not fried)
Organic Green And White Vegetables
Organic Fruit – Melon and Pear, Apple (peel the apples and don't use many), Peaches
Water – “Purified” or “Drinking” or “Reverse Osmosis Filtered” + with added minerals is OK, NOT Spring
Buy a juicer and juice Pears, Apples and Spinach to start to get vegetables onboard.
After the IGG results come back you might typically add in some walnuts or almonds, beans, and tomato.
A popular muffin made for this diet includes:

4 - 4.5 cups roasted/baked pecans (grind in the food processor)
1/2 cup honey
1 bottle squash baby food
1 - 2 tablespoons water to make a little softer
Mix together (after pecans are ground)
Bake in muffin cups 350 for 20-25 min.
Common Mistakes
Adding rice milk or soy milk to substitute for the feeling of getting milk. Rice can feed clostridia and other bacteria and soy is also a difficult protien that can feed fungus and has been found raise levels of estrogen.

This is only an early theory, but I believe that in time we will find infections like the Bacillus Thuringiensis in these kids. Bacillus Thuringiensis can feed on lactobacillus and other good bacteria and create pesticides. It would be another explaination as to why so many of these kids have such disregulated digestive tracts and are so toxic.

Maybe it is Bacillus Thuringiensis or something like it causing the intestinal havoc in these kids or maybe not. Either way these kids quite often have a vicious bacterial and/or fungal and/or viral infections that seem to interact with each other and I believe we need to execute as much diligence as we can to go after this triangular infection comprehensively, simultaneously, and aggressively.

Natural Remedies

There are several natural remedies that parents report benefits from. I will focus on a few that are supported by the medical literature.

Antiviral, Antimicrobial Alternatives

Olive Leaf Extract (OLE)

Olive Leaf Extract is a natural antiviral remedy that some parents have administered to their children and reported gains in our group. OLE can inhibit retroviruses like HIV-1 and prevent RNA to DNA reverse transcription [7,8], inhibit cell-to-cell membrane fusion [9], and may help for colds and flu symptoms [10].

Some families have used OLE as a primary antiviral therapy or as a secondary antiviral to Valtrex. Reports suggest considering OLE in your trials to see if your child benefits from it. The typical dosage we see in our group is working up to 20 drops up to three times a day.

My child did not respond to OLE but I have read reports of children who do.

Lauricidin/Monolaurin

Lauricidin are Monolaurin are short chain fatty acids that I find very interesting because they not only seem to help with some viruses like Cytomegalo Virus (CMV) [11], but can also act as an antibiotic seemingly effective against Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium terrae and extremely effective against Helicobacter pylori [12].

Elderberry (Sambucus)

Elderberry is a combination of plants that seem to have natural antiviral properties. Elderberry has been shown to fight HIV-1 [12], to shorten the symptoms of influenza A and B [13], and said to be very effective at treating symptoms of Avian Bird Flu H5N1 [14].

Oil of Oregano (OoO)

Oil of Oregano has been shown effective against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori, and Mycobacterium terrae [12].

Virastop

Virastop is a protease inhibitor that is said to break apart the wall of infected viral cells. There are no references in the medical literature to support its effectiveness and several people have challenged the science behind its claims but we do have some reports from parents that it has been helpful and since it is just an enzyme there seems to be no harm in trying it.
