			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Autism, now better known as autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is a pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). With  the introduction of colostrum in the daily diet, with its many &#8220;whole  food&#8221; component can have an important positive impact on the level of  impairment in communication skills, social interaction and restricted  repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior have.</p>
<p>The  disorders of the autistic spectrum are more common in the pediatric  population, most known diseases such as diabetes, spina bifida or Down  syndrome. A recent study in the United States estimates that 3.4 Have 1,000 children aged 3-10 years autism. Men are four times more likely than women to autism.</p>
<p>The characteristics of autism is impaired social interaction. From  childhood, a child with autism, people can not respond to or  concentrated on one point which the exclusion of others for long periods  of time. Some affected children develop apparently normally and then withdraw and become indifferent to social engagement. Autistic children respond usually not their name and often avoid eye contact with others.</p>
<p>Many  children with autism engage in repetitive movements such as rocking and  twirling, or in the conduct of self-violence, such as biting or head  banging. They tend to speak to begin later than other children and may refer by name instead of &#8220;I&#8221; or &#8220;me.&#8221; Some children affected by singsong few favorite topics, with little regard for the interests of the person to whom they speak. They are also usually do not know how inter-active play with other children.</p>
<p>Children  with autism spectrum disorders also have a reduced sensitivity to pain,  but they are unusually sensitive to sounds, touch or other sensory  stimulation. Some sounds &#8211; a vacuum cleaner, a ringing telephone or a sudden storm can &#8211; some children to cover their ears and scream. Many affected children find the meaning of clothes touching their skin to become unbearable. These unusual reactions may lead to behavioral symptoms, such as contributing to resistance, kissed or fondled to be.</p>
<p>The most severe forms of autism spectrum disorders are Rett syndrome and childhood disintegrative disorder. Rett syndrome occurs almost exclusively in women, the frequency of a pro 10000-15000. After  a development period, usually 6-18 months, the decline in child mental  and social development &#8211; it stops responding to her parents and away  from social contact. As she spoke, she stops, they can not control his feet, and she wrings her hands.</p>
<p>In  addition to the behavioral and social disorders, children with autism  spectrum disorders often have one or more of the following  complications.</p>
<p>• mental retardation. Some areas of capacity may be normal, while others may be particularly low. • seizures. One of four children affected by seizures, often starting in childhood or adolescence. • Fragile X syndrome. A  segment of the defective X chromosome is the most common form of  inherited mental retardation and affects 2-5% of people with autism  spectrum disorders. • Tuberous sclerosis. 1-5%  of people with autism spectrum disorders have tuberous sclerosis, a  rare genetic disease, the benign tumors in the brain and other vital  organs can grow.<br />
<span id="more-265"></span><br />
The recognition of autism as a medical syndrome over 50 years has led to the search for causal risk factors. various  research institutes have concluded that mercury poisoning from the use  of thimerosal, a mercury preservative from childhood vaccines is the  pathogens. Thimerosal  has never been as a preservative in some childhood vaccines (measles,  mumps, polio has been) used and was withdrawn from the other (TPD) some  years ago. Although  no childhood vaccines containing thimerosal are for several years, the  incidence of autism of 0.3 per 1,000 births in 1993 to 1.5 per 1,000  births in 2003 and the current 3.4 percent increase estimated 1,000  births.</p>
<p>It is now believed that genetics and environment both play a role. Recent studies strongly suggest that some people have a genetic predisposition to autism. In  families with an autistic child, is the risk of a second child with the  disease by about 5%, which is greater than the risk for the general  population. A number of genes associated with diseases have been identified. A recent study by the University of Chicago has found a micro-deletion on a given chromosome in affected families. The  micro-deletion represented the loss of about 25 known genes, with 12 of  them belonging to a single genetic network that the genes involved in  cell to cell signaling and interaction. At least three of these genes are mainly expressed in the brain and thought to influence the behavior. Studies in other institutions have micro-deletions on other chromosomes with similar effects identified in affected families.</p>
<p>Other studies of people with autism spectrum disorders have found irregularities in several regions of the brain. It  was also shown that the subjects have abnormal levels of certain  chemical messengers such as serotonin and glutathione in the brain. The  combined abnormalities suggest that autism spectrum disorders can by  the disruption of early brain development in fetuses caused by defects  in genes, so that the growth of the brain that control and regulate how  nerve cells communicate with each other. It  is possible that sudden, rapid growth of the head can be an early  warning signal and may cause an early diagnosis and intervention.</p>
<p>The life of a man with an autism spectrum disorder can often complicated by allergic reactions to various foods. At  one time it was believed that these allergic reactions, particularly of  proteins found in certain dairy products gluten cause problems. Accordingly, the specialized diets have been developed, and falsely represented as &#8220;cures&#8221; for the unrest. A  further complication is the frequent occurrence of gastro-intestinal  infections with organisms that are part of the natural flora, mainly  yeasts (Candida sp). These  questions show that the immune system can also be placed in question in  some, if not all people with autism spectrum disorders.</p>
<p>The benefits of bovine colostrum</p>
<p>Colostrum  is an amazing material that meets as many other things in nature and  reflects the gradual development of a unique composition that meets the  needs of the offspring for which it is intended. The  unique colostrum of mammals occurs in cattle, occurs in the transfer of  biological substances through the placenta to the fetus and not all  that is necessary for the development of healthy offspring production  provided in the colostrum. As  such, bovine colostrum is a dedicated resource that can widest possible  spectrum of biologically active substances that can promote the  development of a healthy weight offers, ensures effective and efficient  metabolism and the activation and maintenance of a fully functioning  immune system against abuse potential harmful micro-organisms and to fight other sources. Bovine  colostrum is also compatible with almost all species and can easily  transfer their benefits to humans through food routine, without  significant side effects.</p>
<p>The  active ingredients in the quality first milking bovine colostrum can  provide significant benefits for people with autism spectrum disorders.</p>
<p>Glutathione deficiency</p>
<p>In addition to his role as a neurotransmitter, glutathione is the major antioxidant produced by a cell. It  participates directly in the neutralization of free radicals and  reactive oxygen compounds and other antioxidants such as vitamin C and E  maintains active in their form. In addition, glutathione may interact with many organic and inorganic substances and help the body to detoxify them.</p>
<p>Glutathione intake by mouth has negligible absorption and therefore it must take place within the cell. It is a tripeptide of three amino acids cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid composed. Both  glycine and glutamic acid are easily accessible to the diet of most  people, but not cysteine, the substance makes the limit for the  formation of glutathione in the cell. Since the free amino acid cysteine is potentially toxic and is distributed in the gastrointestinal tract and the blood. The stable form of this amino acid is the form of cystine, the two cysteine molecules linked by a disulfide bridge. Cystine is not broken by stomach acid or proteolytic enzymes and is absorbed easily. It is quickly reduced to two molecules of cysteine, when it enters a cell. In addition, cystine can pass the blood-brain barrier.</p>
<p>The  proteins albumin, lactoferrin and lactalbumin in significant quantities  in the first milking bovine colostrum is found an excellent resource  for cystine. The amount of albumin is higher in the first milking colostrum and decreases with time after birth. Transitional  milk obtained 96 hours (four days) after the birth of the calf,  contains about 20% of albumin in the first milking bovine colostrum  found within six hours after birth to take. So,  first milking bovine colostrum obtained within 6 hours after the birth  of a calf, albumin contains about five times more than milk and  therefore contributes to at least 5 times more cystine of protein such  as milk.</p>
<p>Immunocompromised</p>
<p>Very  early in life, the basis of the immune system is a small structure,  such as the gland found in the upper chest, the thymus gland. In  this structure as the mature cells that will determine the appropriate  type of response that the immune system should mount after an insult,  whether from an invasion of microorganisms or allergens. The thymus cells regulate the quality and intensity of this reaction.</p>
<p>Colostrum  is a tremendous resource to strengthen and support materials needed for  the development of the immune system and repair of cells and tissues,  potentiate and ensure effective and efficient metabolism of nutrients. However,  it is very important to recognize that all colostrum products are not  identical, despite their claims of manufacturers, they all do not  contain all the positive components to an optimal level. In many cases they have been treated and may be missing some key components. When  choosing a colostrum product, you must be sure it will be collected  from only the first milking bovine colostrum within six hours after the  birth of the calf and that colostrum complete &#8220;and no components have  been removed, including fat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Against  the general opinion, it seems that there is a link between obesity and  celiac disease, even if today the scientists are trying to find a  confirmation.</p>
<p>Most likely causes that connect these two diseases are the following:<br />
# Genetic predisposition;</p>
<p>The # malabsorption caused the demand for food, although it has enough calories. If  the amount of excess calories need for continuous feeding, fat  transport in the main text, then the activity of the pancreas by  reducing the ability of cells to burn stored fat reduces the body weight  increased.</p>
<p>Definition:</p>
<p>the  CD is much more common diseases, but still very little, as the campaign  announced the lack of information on this problem is a genetic disease,  the digestive malabsorption of food caused caused caused by chronic  inflammation of the intestine through the thin reaction immunity from a mixture of proteins &#8211; gliadin &#8211; the &#8220;glue&#8221; protein that is contained in the grain and cereals.</p>
<p>If it appears:</p>
<p>in children with the following symptoms occur:</p>
<p>1.Weight loss;</p>
<p>2.diarrhoea;</p>
<p>3.Lowest growth;</p>
<p>4.anaemia;</p>
<p>5.herpetiforme dermatitis.<br />
<span id="more-263"></span><br />
It can also occur in adults, in some cases, the patient has no symptoms, therefore it is well known:</p>
<p>Silent celiac disease:</p>
<p>There  are changes in the intestinal mucosa of patients, but the themes do not  show any symptoms because he wanted a part of the intestine thin, but  the rest of the work regularly. But it is possible that an increased dose of gluten in food, they cause symptoms.</p>
<p>Latent celiac disease:</p>
<p>the patient shows the genetic susceptibility to the disorder, but neither the intestinal mucosa have not harmed or symptoms.<br />
But  it is possible that higher doses than &#8220;gluten-free, with food, an  important event, such as surgery, pregnancy or birth, they trigger  symptoms.</p>
<p>Diagnosis:</p>
<p>a child is not growing at a pediatric visit must submit and pass a verification test for the presence of malabsorption syndrome.<br />
Blood tests showed the presence of antibodies responsible for the disease.<br />
To  confirm the diagnosis it is necessary to use the intestinal biopsy to  the damage caused by gluten clarify in the intestinal mucosa.</p>
<p>If  the child is too small, it is necessary to repeat the examination after  6 months gluten-free diet and after 6 months gluten diet.<br />
All this to determine that the damage is caused to the intestinal mucosa by gluten.</p>
<p>Treatment:</p>
<p>Despite  this widespread disease more than it can have serious consequences for  the health of children and adults have is actually possible to heal, but  with a gluten-free diet for life.</p>
<p>Warning:</p>
<p>cooking  meals, avoidance of accuracy, use silverware, even stirring the food  for the family and celiac disease, because you make the food of the  patient may contaminate the gluten-free diet ineffective.</p>
<p>If the gluten free diet is not just the risk of development has followed the following diseases:<br />
# Low profile (especially if the disease in childhood and old age, so that malabsorption causes malnutrition developed);</p>
<p># Stomach pain;</p>
<p># Develop puberty is delayed;</p>
<p># Liver disease</p>
<p># Cancer (linphom intestinal adenocarcinoma);</p>
<p># Osteoporosis (caused by malabsorption of calcium);</p>
<p># Epilepsy seizures (caused by a deficiency of folic acid);</p>
<p># Type 2 diabetes (insulin-dependent youth).</p>
<p>Warning:</p>
<p>to  guarantee Try to get by celiac disease associations, the lead &#8220;manual&#8221;  always with a list of products, the absolute absence of industries  gluten.</p>
<p>Who says that celiac disease are forced to renounce the pleasures of the table?<br />
The problem, according to a gluten-free diet, may be granted with great composure, without sacrificing taste and social life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">When  cortisol or other glucocorticoid hormones (such as hydrocortisone,  prednisone, prednisolone, dexamethasone or methyl-) will be taken over  the normal daily intake for an extended period, it causes Cushing&#8217;s  syndrome.</p>
<p>This  iatrogenic (caused by treatment) form is unfortunately a necessary side  effect when high doses of steroid hormones are used, have other  life-threatening diseases such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus,  inflammatory bowel diseases have, allergies and.</p>
<p>Spontaneous  overproduction of cortisol in the adrenal gland is divided into two  groups &#8211; the result of an excess of ACTH and those of ACTH-independent. A  pituitary tumor producing ACTH stimulation of the adrenals to grow  (hyperplasia) and produce a lot of cortisol, is the most common form,  and this is as Cushing&#8217;s syndrome.<br />
<span id="more-261"></span><br />
He is the cause for 70% of spontaneous Cushing&#8217;s syndrome. ACTH may be produced outside the pituitary gland into a benign or malignant lung, thymus, pancreas and other organs. This is called ectopic ACTH production.</p>
<p>Although  almost all types of spontaneous Cushing&#8217;s syndrome ultimately caused by  a tumor or some other means, we know little about what makes these  tumors occur. It does not seem to be a genetic factor specific immune system or the environment.</p>
<p>Cushing&#8217;s  syndrome or Cushing&#8217;s syndrome is a disease in the health sector still  learning, but with the technological progress, other treatments were  more effective for people with the disease.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a rule with fibromyalgia syndrome. Chronic  fatigue is often described as &#8220;flu, which can drain literally described  by energy. It can be short term, but if it is associated with  fibromyalgia, it can take years. Chronic fatigue is characterized by  persistent, debilitating fatigue that typically strongly enough to affect one or more aspects of a person&#8217;s life, such as job, home, school or social life.</p>
<p>In  general, those who are affected painfully by CFS from their daily work  or in school, but when it comes to home or in their social life, the  State is the best of them, and they all nix idea of the work to the house or go socially.</p>
<p>Like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue can affect any age and affects more women than men. This condition does not improve with bed rest and may worsen with physical or mental activity. There  is no obvious reason, what happens in the body to trigger this  response, as there is no clear reason why the state can hang so long in  some people.<br />
<span id="more-253"></span><br />
CFS is relevant to:</p>
<p>• A imbalance of hormones.</p>
<p>• Lack of exercise or physical activity.</p>
<p>· An adrenal dysfunction / exhaustion.</p>
<p>· A diet high in sugar (more than the average American eats 50 pounds of sugar per year) and / or rich in carbohydrates.</p>
<p>· Anemia (low or too low in iron)</p>
<p>Environmental · Allergies</p>
<p>· Mononucleosis</p>
<p>SUGAR lower blood pressure</p>
<p>• B-12 deficiency</p>
<p>There are more but these seem to be the most common theories.</p>
<p>In  general, CFS is diagnosed by excluding other diseases such as  fibromyalgia (including thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases,  depression, cancer, multiple sclerosis, etc..) Means the that if all  other conditions or diseases have been eliminated, the diagnosis of CFS  is maintained.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Parents of children with Down syndrome are flooded by a dam of emotions. You may feel disappointment, anger, sadness, frustration, fear and anxiety. Mothers at the age of 35, which are more likely a child with Down syndrome may experience guilt or self-accusation.</p>
<p>These feelings come naturally, which explains why the establishment of a support network for young parents is important. In  conversation with others who have experienced the same difficulties  will be a source of inspiration and the best education for children with  disabilities.</p>
<p>Children with this disorder have chromosomal diseases earlier. Parents  should be aware of the needs of special care for babies with Down  syndrome as early as possible in order to prepare for the challenges of  the future. Some  babies need medicine to treat a heart defect, while other physical  therapy sessions that require the development of muscle tone and  coordination.</p>
<p>Some  babies have to learn a syndrome of trouble at first feeding, which is  sometimes connected to the stomach and intestinal blockage. Eyes, ears, nose, throat and thyroid are not uncommon, as is the end of the dentition. The  main thing to keep in mind is that the baby will end up there  eventually, but to offer support and patience and love are indispensable  for the development of children.</p>
<p>The educational needs of children with Down syndrome vary, depending on the degree of mental retardation. Early intervention and evaluation skills is the key to the child on condition that he or she relate to. For example, concrete concepts are often easier to understand than abstract ideas. Education, step by step and provide constant feedback are two techniques to help people with intellectual disabilities.<br />
<span id="more-230"></span><br />
Go into the past, children with Down syndrome to separate schools or were home taught. Now,  the integration of these children in reducing the emotional gap between  children with the chromosomal disorder and another is effective. In  countries such as Denmark and Germany, two teachers, the children can  observe and be exposed to others, while focusing on their needs.</p>
<p>There are certain health risks for children with Down syndrome. About  half of all babies with Down syndrome are born with congenital heart  defects and 60% suffer from eye diseases, including cataracts (15%) and  the need for glasses or contact lenses (50%). Nearly 75% of hearing loss, sleep apnea and persistent ear infections suffer. Other problems include thyroid disorders (15%), intestinal atresia (12% acquired) and hip dislocation (6%).</p>
<p>Less than 1% of all leukemia cases, report, or Hirschsprung&#8217;s disease. Over  time, adults with Down syndrome can of respiratory infections, cardiac,  cataract surgery, or suffering an intestinal blockage, hearing loss,  epilepsy and arthritis.</p>
