Autism

The carnomed company draws on the experience of many experts, such as from the work of Dr. Michael G. Cheza, who in 2001 administered carnosine to a group of autistic children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders.

The results showed a positive effect of carnosine and no adverse or side effects were noted.

Mitochondrial medicine deals with possibilities that affect the efficiency of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the restoration of its reduced or lost regulatory abilities.

The correct functioning of the ANS, thanks to the strengthening of the mitochondrial apparatus with carnosine, leads in many cases to an improvement in the state of health.

We use the VARICARD device to determine the current state of the ANS. The device works on the principle of analyzing heart rate variability (HRV - Heart Rate Variability), which is directly subject to the control of various ANS centers. The results of heart rate variability analysis are generally accepted. Disruption of ANS functionality occurs especially in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and leads to problems with the adaptive ability to manage stress and burden in their surroundings. Children have problems with communication, socialization, motor skills, etc. Life in our world represents a huge permanent burden and stress for them.

One of the parameters in this analysis is the calculation of the so-called stress index, whose physiological values ​​range from 50 to 70 units in children, and up to 150 units in adults. In children with autism, the detected values ​​of the stress index are usually 700 to 800 units or even more, which is the value that corresponds to the state of extreme exhaustion from stress in an adult.

A breakthrough in research into carnosine and its potential effects in relation to autism was a 2002 study in which Dr. Michael G. Chez and his team in the American state of Illinois focused on the use of carnosine in the care of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The results showed that children who took carnosine showed improvement in socialization, behavior, communication and speech comprehension.

No side effects of carnosine were noted during the study.

Carnosine is a versatile neuroprotectant (a substance that protects nerve cells). It prevents the destructive effect of oxidized chemicals, such as malondialdehyde (MDA), which cause cell death in the brain and cause neurodegenerative disorders.

Hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dysorthography.

Nowadays, we encounter these terms more and more frequently, which mainly concern education, child psychologists, special educators and, of course, parents who have a child suffering from such a disorder at home.
These are problems with reading, writing, arithmetic, a lack of organizational or language skills. They occur in combination rather than in isolation.

Many parents become aware of these problems only after being alerted by a teacher, who recommends that the child be examined in a pedagogical-psychological counseling center. The sooner the child undergoes such an examination and the sooner the parents understand and recognize the biological essence of the child's mentioned manifestations, the greater the chance for correction. All the mentioned symptoms point to disorders stemming from the weakening of the nervous system, for example by free radicals.

As an important antioxidant and neuropeptide, carnosine stabilizes and protects cell membranes from all reactive forms of oxygen, prevents the development of oxidative stress and stops the process of protein deformation. It is specific in that it is active even when free radicals manage to get into the tissues. These then create dangerous compounds such as lipid peroxides and secondary products, which carnosine, unlike other antioxidants, is able to eliminate.

Several studies report that metals such as copper, iron, cadmium, mercury, lead participate in the formation of free radicals, which can result in DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, reduced availability of proteins with thiol groups, and more. Carnosine Extra protects against the toxic effects of heavy metals, it is capable of chelating - breaking down these metals from the body.

The quality of attention in all of us, not only in children, depends on the coordination of many parts of the brain. This is the reason why attention is easily vulnerable and sensitive to all kinds of stressful influences - noise from the environment, fatigue, stress, diseases (allergies and permanent use of drugs).
