Now that we’ve addressed diet and toxic burden, we can begin rebuilding the body and cells with a proper supplementation regimen. While supplementation can never replace a healthy diet, supplementation can help heal what has been broken and can help fill in the gaps when nutrients are missing.
Why do you want to rebuild the body?
Simply put, we want to restore the body of what’s been depleted. Beyond autism, many of the daily issues we deal with when it comes to energy or focus stem from a lack of minerals and nutrients. We eat food but we don’t eat to feed our brain and body with things that fuel them properly. Over time, this causes depletion. Feeding the cells in our body is absolutely crucial when it comes to healing because it provides our cells with the necessary nutrients and energy to function properly—this allows for processes such as growth, repair, and maintaining overall health to operate fully. When cells are not functioning properly, they cannot perform these functions which leads to disease and poor health—the opposite of what we are trying to do.
When it comes to supplements there are a few things you should know:
- They are not made equally. Just like the ingredients in our food and products in America, our supplements are the same. Many fillers are used and ingredients that seem “okay” but are synthetic and do not sync well with the body.
- You don’t need every supplement. It’s about intentional supplementation. It’s about knowing what you are missing, what can fill in your gaps, and what will help you heal the body. You don’t need to consume all the supplements, just the right ones.
So, how do you find out what you need?
Testing can be a useful guide to know what some underlying issues are.
Initial testing that I recommend is:
Oat Test: Organic acids are products of the body’s metabolic pathways. Evaluation of these downstream metabolites from various metabolic pathways provides insight into important areas related to gut health, mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotransmitter status, indicators of detoxification and macronutrient breakdown and nutritional status. This makes organic acid testing a valuable tool to assess the functional need for essential nutrients, diet modification, antioxidant protection, detoxification, and other therapies.
The Organic Acids Test (OAT) provides a comprehensive nutritional and metabolic snapshot of an individual’s overall health. The OAT measures 76 organic acids from one easy to collect urine sample.
EnviroTOX panels provide practitioners with a powerful tool for detecting toxic exposures and their health impacts. This panel consists of Organic Acids Test, TOXDetect Profile, Glyphosate Test, MycoTOX Profile and Metals – Toxic Elements.
Our EnviroTOX panels streamline the identification process, allowing for the collection of extensive data from a single, convenient urine sample. Maximize efficiency, reduce costs, and gain unparalleled visibility into toxic environmental factors affecting health.
Do you have to do testing to begin a robust healing program? No. But if there has been some vaccine damage or exposure to vaccines, fluoride and overall environmental toxins it is recommended to have it as a baseline.

Raw Camel Milk:
Yes you read that right. Raw Camel Milk. Not pasteurized, not flash pasteurized, but only raw. This is one of the most important pieces of a healing program for the gut, however you can really only get this in the US. If you are outside the US, do not worry healing can still occur with many pieces of this program.
For the raw camel milk I recommend purchasing only from camelmilkassociation.org. You will do approximately 1-2 tbsp per day and work up over the course of a few weeks to ½ cup per day. Store the pints in the freezer and remove one pint per week to thaw in the fridge as you use it.
You may see something called a herx reaction or die-off, that is totally ok and a good sign of healing. Press on and keep going.
