Supplement Plan for Autism: Children | Adults
© by Dr. Samuel Verghese

Every brain is unique and each of our unique and complex neurobiochemical entities requires diverse nutritional needs. Attempting to determine the ideal supplementation for each area (brain, body, mind, and spirit) can be challenging, especially when chronic neurobiodeficits are present. We will be happy to assist you if you are willing to take the responsibility to be part of the team. As followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we have confidence and hope.

• For Children: Please start with the Ultimate Complete Nutritional Mix for Children and gender-specific multiple for adults
• Add Brain Food and Neuro Balancer. Make a pinhole in the Brain Food capsule and add two to three drops to the powdered mix when you blend with some mild sweet juice, according to the child's taste preferences.
• Once every 3 days, open up a Brain Igniter capsule, and add 1/8 of the capsule powder plus 1/8 of a CoQ10 (Coenzyme 10) capsule.
• If there is no reduction in hyperactivity and/or restlessness (feet, body, head pounding, hyperactivity, rocking, etc.) or insomnia: add 1/8 capsule of Neuro Relaxer or 5-HTP.
• Follow this regimen for one to three months. When you see progress, reduce the amounts by half and continue as long as needed.
• Add fruits and vegetables to the Ultimate Complete Nutritional Mix as desired.

The adult dosages are for persons over the age of 18. For a child between 14 and 17, reduce the dose to half or less the recommended adult amount. For a child between 10 and 13, use 1/3 the recommended dose and for a child under 6 years old, use ¼ or ⅛ the recommended amount.

For example: For a 3- or 4-year-old child, start with the Ultimate Complete Nutritional Mix and add with it Brain Food by making a pinhole in the BF capsule and adding two to three drops to the powder mix. Blend with pulped, mildly sweetened juice or whatever is delicious for your child. All berries are marvelous.

Then, once every three days, open a Brain Igniter capsule and add 1/8 of the capsule powder in the mix, along with 1/8 of CoQ10 (30 mg).

If the immune system is weak, add Immune Enhancer I, one capsule a day.

• For Adults: Start with the gender-specific multiple for adults.
• Add Brain Food (2 caps) and Neuro Balancer (2 tabs) with meals.
• After three weeks, add CoQ10 (1 capsule, 30 mg) and Immune Enhancer II (2 capsules) for a month with food. If there is hyperactivity, restlessness (feet, body, head pounding, hyperactivity, rocking, etc.) or insomnia, add Neuro Relaxer (maximum 1 or 2 capsules in divided doses) with food, not on an empty stomach. You may also add 5-HTP. For most people, all the neuro formulas will last for anywhere from three to six months or even a year or more.
• Month 2 or after about 6 weeks, slowly introduce Brain Igniter. For adults: Take just one capsule every day with food. For children: follow instruction below. You may take 1 or 2 capsules a day if you assess the need.
• Month 3, add Neuro Relaxer (1 or 2 tablets) with meals.
• Month 4, add Neuro Complex (1 to 3 a day) with meals. In this way, you'll be able to experience how these supplements regulate your brain, body, behavior, mood, cognition and life itself. If you are up to trying Neuro Supplements earlier, that is OK, too. We have other phyto-micro products to fine tune the system. Please call and we'll be happy to assist you.
