Autism demystified

By Dr S V Bulatov – registered homeopath

Autism is a highly variable REVERSIBLE and CURABLE neuro-developmental disorder in children. It occurs four to five times more often in boys than girls. It is one of three recognized disorders in the autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The other two are Asperger’s syndrome and pervasive developmental disorder, not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS).

The New Latin word autismus (English translation autism) was coined by the Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler in 1910 as he was defining symptoms of schizophrenia. He derived it from the Greek word autós (αὐτός, meaning "self"), and used it to mean morbid self-admiration, referring to "autistic withdrawal of the patient to his fantasies, against which any influence from outside becomes an intolerable disturbance".

The word autism first took its modern sense in 1938 when Hans Asperger of the Vienna University Hospital adopted Bleuler's terminology autistic psychopaths in a lecture in German about child psychology. Asperger was investigating an ASD now known as Asperger syndrome, though for various reasons it was not widely recognized as a separate diagnosis until 1981. 

Leo Kanner of the Johns Hopkins Hospital first used autism in its modern sense in English when he introduced the label early infantile autism in a 1943 report of 11 children with striking behavioral similarities. Almost all the characteristics described in Kanner's first paper on the subject, notably "autistic aloneness" and "insistence on sameness", are still regarded as typical of the autistic spectrum of disorders. It is not known whether Kanner derived the term independently of Asperger.

Kanner's reuse of autism led to decades of confused terminology like infantile schizophrenia, and child psychiatry's focus on maternal deprivation led to misconceptions of autism as an infant's response to "refrigerator mothers".

Starting in the late 1960s autism was established as a separate syndrome by demonstrating that it is lifelong, distinguishing it from intellectual disability and schizophrenia and from other developmental disorders, and demonstrating the benefits of involving parents in active programs of therapy. As late as the mid-1970s there was little evidence of a genetic role in autism; now it is thought to be one of the most heritable of all psychiatric conditions. Although the rise of parent organizations and the de-stigmatization of childhood ASD have deeply affected how we view ASD, parents continue to feel social stigma in situations where their child's autistic behavior is perceived negatively by others, and many primary care physicians and medical specialists still express some beliefs consistent with outdated autism research.

List of symptoms in autism:

Restrictive/repetitive behaviors may include:

• Repeating certain behaviors or having unusual behaviors.
• Having overly focused interests, such as with moving objects or parts of objects.
• Having a lasting, intense interest in certain topics, such as numbers, details, or facts.

Social communication/interaction behaviors may include:

• Getting upset by a slight change in a routine or being placed in a new or overly stimulating setting.
• Making little or inconsistent eye contact.
• Having a tendency to look at and listen to other people less often.
• Rarely sharing enjoyment of objects or activities by pointing or showing things to others.
• Responding in an unusual way when others show anger, distress, or affection.
• Failing to, or being slow to, respond to someone calling their name or other verbal attempts to gain attention.
• Having difficulties with the back and forth of conversations.
• Often talking at length about a favorite subject, without noticing that others are not interested or without giving others a chance to respond.
• Repeating words or phrases that they hear, a behavior called echolalia.
• Using words that seem odd, out of place, or have a special meaning known only to those familiar with that person’s way of communicating.
• Having facial expressions, movements, and gestures that do not match what is being said.
• Having an unusual tone of voice that may sound sing-song or flat and robot-like.
• Having trouble understanding another person’s point of view or being unable to predict or understand other people’s actions.
• Having other difficulties, such as being very sensitive to light, noise, clothing or temperature. They may also experience sleep problems, digestion problems and irritability.
• Total indifference to people and surroundings.
• Not able to speak any words and sentences.
• Making only sounds and/or humming.

Strengths and abilities may include:

• Having above-average intelligence – about 46% of ASD children have above average intelligence.
• Being able to learn things in detail and remember information for long periods of time.
• Being strong visual and auditory learners.
• Excelling in mathematics, science, music and/or art.

Autism symptoms are due to a REVERSIBLE damage in different degrees of the following brain parts: basal ganglia, mesial temporal structures, cingulate gyrus, candate nucleus, thalamus, hippocampus, amygdaloid complex, cerebellum and brain stem.

This could be visualized as hypo metabolic areas of the brain in black, dark blue, blue and light blue color on PET CT scan images. The frequency of autism is increasing exponentially from 1 in 165 children (2004),1in 68 children (2014) and 1 in 54 children (2020).

As of early 2026, autism prevalence in the United States has reached approximately 1 in 31 children (about 3.2%), with some estimates indicating 1 in 36 children (2.8%) are diagnosed annually.

Globally, the WHO estimates that roughly 1 in 100 children have autism.

It is estimated that over 80 million people worldwide are living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in 2026. 

Using the World Population Review’s data, the top ten countries for prevalence of autism worldwide include:

1. Singapore – 1,460 in every 100,000
2. South Korea – 1,450 in every 100,000
3. Japan – 1,450 in every 100,000
4. Brunei – 1,390 in every 100,000
5. Australia – 1,160 in every 100,000
6. New Zealand – 1,140 in every 100,000
7. Canada – 1,070 in every 100,000
8. Chile – 1,060 in every 100,000
9. United States – 1,050 in every 100,000
10. Ireland – 1,040 in every 100,000

The same data revealed Bangladesh has the lowest autism rate recorded in the world, with 594 in every 100 000 people receiving an autism diagnosis.

Other countries with low autism prevalence include Brazil, Paraguay, China, Nepal, Haiti, Indonesia, Bhutan, Pakistan, and the US Virgin Islands.

 About 50% of autistic children have a genetic condition called kryptopyrroluria. It is caused by a defect of several enzymes needed for the synthesis of heme, which is a building block of hemoglobin that delivers oxygen to the cells and cytochrome P450 oxidases that detoxify the body.

The heme is involved in other important functions as well. Increased levels of circulating kryptopyrroles bind with zinc and vitamin B6. This causes a severe zinc and vitamin B6 deficiency. Zinc is a co-factor in more than 200 enzymes in the body. Vitamin B6 is involved in production of neurotransmitters in the brain. They also suffer from low glutathione level that slows detoxification.

The key symptoms of kryptopyrroluria are: poor tolerance of physical/emotional stress, poor anger control, emotional mood swings, behaviour disorders, addictions, autism, Asperger’s, ADHD, ADD, depression, bipolar disorder, assaultive/aggressive/violent behaviour, schizophrenia, anxiety, delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, occasional loss of contact with reality, tendency to have an insight (understand they have mental problems), poor short term memory, prefer not to eat breakfast, upper abdominal pain when stressed, stitch in their side if they run, tendency to become loners as they age, mental symptoms are aggravated when undergoing stress, sweet, fruity breath and body odour, general loss of appetite, motion sickness, pain, seizures, complete physical debilitation, frequent infections, inability to tan, poor dream recall, abnormal fat distribution, light, sound, odour and touch over sensitivity, hypoglycaemia, pale skin, tremor, shaking, spasms, white spots on the nails, environmental and food allergies, cold hands or feet, stretch marks, tiredness, anaemia, retention of heavy metals and environmental toxins, constipation and bloated feeling.

It flares up when the individual is undergoing a prolonged stress, such as during a chronic and debilitating illness.

Treatment: Taking zinc, copper, manganese and vitamin B6 for life adjusted according to the age, metabolic type, microbiological terrain and kryptopyrrole levels in the urine. Methyl reconstruct is the best option.

More than 75% of autistic children are born with gluten/lactose/casein intolerance. This causes a leaky gut syndrome, autoimmune reactions, candida albicans/mould/clostridium overgrowth. As a result, many toxic metabolites (neurotoxins) are released in the bloodstream. Gluten intolerance is associated with more than 150 medical conditions.

Heavy metals (aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel) affect severely the sensitive nervous system of the child. They stimulate very strongly the growth of existing infections.

Hypoxia during birth could also affect negatively the above-mentioned brain structures.

Chronic Cerebro Spinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) is an obstruction of the veins that drain the brain and spinal cord due to agenesis, atresia, hypoplasia, stenosis, abnormal valve, septum, flap or membrane.

 The main symptoms of CCSVI are:

• increasing physical fatigue as the day progresses
• headaches that worsen when lying face up
• variable reduction in sphincter control
• reduction of the motor and sensorial functions
• reduction of visual acuity
• problems with or temporary losses of memory
• swallowing difficulties
• language difficulties
• sexual impediment
• paleness
• reduction in the working memory
• sleep disturbances

The lengthening of blood drainage time from the Central Nervous System may provoke:

• hypoxia
• perfusion delays
• reduction in catabolite drainage
• increase in trans mural pressure
• intense inflammation of the small veins or the tissues closest to them

The best diagnostic methods are duplex ultrasonography, catheter venography and magnetic resonance venography.

The treatment varies according to the degree of malformation.

Acute/chronic neuroborreliosis (Lyme disease) is common amongst autistic children. It could be transmitted through the placenta during pregnancy or acquired in the early childhood. The neurotoxins from the metabolism of Borrelia burgdorferi could affect severely the nervous system and the whole body. Lyme disease could imitate more than 365 medical conditions.

There are other co-infections that could change the brain function drastically like rickettsia, coxiella, mycoplasma, chlamydia, streptococcus A (PANDAS), staphylococcus, toxoplasma, bartonella, brucella, babesia, anaplasma and ehrlichia.

PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) is a condition where children experience a sudden, dramatic onset of OCD, tics, or severe anxiety following a strep infection, such as strep throat.
Symptoms often appear "overnight" and can be severe: 

• Obsessions and Compulsions (OCD): Repetitive behaviours or intrusive thoughts.
• Tics: Sudden motor or vocal movements.
• Behavioural Regression:

 Developmental regression, separation anxiety, or extreme irritability.

• Neuropsychiatric Changes: Sudden mood swings, emotional lability (rapid shifts in emotion), and severe anxiety.
• Other Symptoms: Decreased cognitive function, poor school performance, handwriting changes, sensory sensitivities (light/sound), and sleep disruptions. 

• Immune Response: PANDAS is triggered by Group A Streptococcal infections.
• Molecular Mimicry: The immune system produces antibodies to fight the strep bacteria, but these antibodies mistakenly attack healthy brain tissue in the basal ganglia, disrupting function. 

• Clinical Diagnosis: There is no single test for PANDAS; it is diagnosed through ASOT/Anti Dnase test, medical history, physical exam, and behavioural observation.
• Criteria: Symptoms must be of abrupt onset in children (usually pre-pubertal), include OCD or tics, and be associated with a recent strep infection.
• Exclusion: Other causes for the symptoms must be ruled out. 

• Antibiotics: Initial treatment focuses on clearing the underlying streptococcal infection.
• Homeopathic remedies (ailanthus glandulosa, arnica, arsenicum album, belladonna, hepar sulphuris, mercurius solubilis, rhus toxicodendron, streptococcus, sulphuric acid, x ray), Chinese medicines (antibio-rx, av-rx, autoimmune1, flu)ex, heatoxin, IM-1, microbiaX2, propolis, resist), specific supplements (cellfood, liposomal vit c and/or iv vit c, vit d), regular deworming (hqz, lpi, parasite formula, para-fix, para90, etc.), an individualised antibacterial or antimould diet are essential in eradicating the chronic streptococcal infection.
• Therapies: Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and SSRI medication are used for OCD symptoms.
• Immunotherapy: In severe cases, treatments to modulate the immune system (e.g., IVIG) may be considered.
• Prognosis: With prompt treatment, most children improve, though symptoms may return with future strep infections. 

Potential Complications
If untreated, the symptoms can cause severe disruption in a child’s social, educational, and emotional development. Early recognition and treatment are key to preventing long-term issues.

Candida/mould/clostridium over growth additionally weakens the body through the mycotoxins/endotoxins that they release.

The most common viral infections in autistic children are: EBV, CMV, Coxsackie A/B and herpes. They attack directly the nervous/endocrine system.

Parasitic infestations in autistic children are very common. They often have bilharzia, filaria, round worms, giardia, threadworms, hookworms, flat worms, flukes and toxoplasma.

EMF (Electro Magnetic Fields) from Wi-Fi, mobile/cordless phones, cell masts, power lines, computers, laptops, iPads, TV sets, play stations, microwave ovens, etc. are particularly dangerous for these children as they speed up the growth of fungi up to 600 times!!! It has direct damaging effect on the cellular membranes of all cells but particularly neurons.

Progressively rising levels of glyphosate (herbicide used worldwide) in soil, mother’s milk, drinks, foods and environment disrupts severely the brain function.

Deficiency of selenium, iodine, silicon, manganese, zinc, copper, molybdenum, germanium and other trace minerals causes various brain imbalances. These deficiencies are widely spread, especially in US, Russia, China and South Africa.

Many autistic children have been prescribed Risperdal.

Risperdal (risperidone) is an antipsychotic medication FDA-approved for children (typically ages 5–17) to treat irritability associated with autism, as well as bipolar mania and schizophrenia in older children.

It is commonly used off-label to manage severe aggression, tantrums, and self-injury. Common side effects include significant weight gain, drowsiness, increased appetite, fatigue and dizziness.

It doesn’t heal/cure autism!

The treatment strategy of autism is HOLISTIC AND INTEGRATIVE. It takes months and years of patience, perseverance and courage to achieve success. Most autistic children would improve significantly and would be integrated in mainstream schools. They would have normal life as any other child.

Here is the most effective strategy that leads to success:

1. Gluten/dairy/soy/margarine/canola oil/colorants/preservatives/additives/sugar/fructose/caffeine/aspartame free diet as a foundation.

Consult a holistic/integrative medicine practitioner who does iridology/sclerology analysis. This is very informative for the treatment program. Go for a live blood analysis (LBA) and meridian tests (EIS, Voll, B.E.S.T., SCIO, QX, e-Lybra, etc.). They give you the real state of health of the blood and body. Presence of liver fluke could be identified with it.

The following blood tests: C6 Ab, borrelia Western Blot, CD57 count, rickettsia Ab, MATG, Coxiella Ab, mycoplasma Ab, chlamydia Ab, toxoplasma Ab, brucella Ab, bartonella Ab, ASOT/Anti Dnase B, bilharzia Ab, babesia PCR, EBV Ab, CMV Ab, Coxsackie A/B Ab, herpes 1&2 Ab, lipoprotein(a), homocysteine, CRP, thyroid function and antibodies, FBC, iron studies, vitamin B12, D3, folic acid, inhalant/food allergies, ImuPro 100 foods test, etc. would give you a good picture of metabolism and microbiological terrain.

The following urine tests: kryptopyrroles, MC&S, metal condensed pre-chelation.

The following feces tests: MC&S, clostridium and H.pylori Ag identify presence and type of bacteria and parasites in the gut.

Anti-mould diet should be followed for a year or more if there is a candida/mould overgrowth. Use as much as possible organic foods. Add fulvicforce, bicarbonate of soda (not for A and AB blood type), magnesium peroxide, glutamine, probiotics, Cand)ex, AV-Rx, Microbia X2, Gut recovery, Candideo, warburgia, etc.

Anti-bacterial diet should be followed for 3-6 months if there is a clostridium infection. No antioxidants should be taken for that period as they aggravate the anaerobic infection!!! Use only oxidants like ozone, oxygen, magnesium peroxide and cellfood.

Make a regular use of ozonated far infrared sauna with resonator for 12 months. This speeds up the detoxification and healing tremendously.

Also use eLymenator (www.elymenator.co.za) if you can get it. It is very effective.

Another option is a combination of a zapper and foot detoxification for 6-12 months.

2. Heavy metal detoxification. Stop vaccinations as they contain mercury compounds and many biological toxins! Do a homeoprophylaxis with homeopathic nosodes instead.

Stop using aluminum containing roll ons/utensils in the kitchen.

Take sorbent A, humic acid, IP6, CelDTX, chlorella, spirulina, seaweed, seamoss, pectin, bentonite, zeolite, diatomaceous earth, etc., for 3-6 months.

Ozonated far infrared sauna with resonator is one of the best methods for heavy metal detoxification.

Add fresh coriander to the meals on a daily basis.

3. Take vitamin B6, zinc, copper and manganese daily or methyl reconstruct if there is a kryptopyrroluria.
4. The viral infections could not be cured effectively with conventional medicines (acyclovir, etc.). They could be healed completely with homeopathic remedies/viral nosodes/beta gamma globulin/interferon, vitamin A, C, D, medicinal mushrooms, selenium, sutherlandia, olive leaf, extract, elderberry, monolaurin, Chinese medicines, etc.

A catabolic diet should be followed for 3-6 months.

The intracellular bacterial infections might require antibiotic treatment in some cases. A combination of homeopathic remedies/nosodes, Lyme stop, fulvicforce, magnesium peroxide, cellfood, Lyme)x, Lyme gold, ormus gold, Cool Blue, AV-Rx, antibio-Rx, Microbia X2, IM-1&3, resist, tanshins, coryber, etc. for 9-18 months clears them completely.

Anti-bacterial diet should be followed for a few months.

Candida/mould infections could not be healed with conventional anti-fungal medicines (fluconazole, etc.). They require alkalization, oxygenation and detoxification of the body with bicarbonate of soda (not for A and AB blood type), magnesium peroxide, fulvicforce/coral calcium and heavy metal oral chelators.

Anti-mould diet for a year is crucial.

Parasitic investations could not be cleared completely with Vermox and Biltricide. HQZ, Paraspec, SDG, LPI, Bilharzeo have to be used for 3 to 9 months to eradicate all parasite forms.

5. Breaking the biofilm in chronic bacterial and fungal infections with proteolytic enzymes (nattokinase, serrapeptase, bromelain, etc.), special herbal extracts (terminalia chebula, tanshins, coryber, AV-Rx, MicrobiaX2), herbal mix by Dr B, ozonides, Galela oil, blackseed oil, xylitol, stevia leaf alcoholic extract, aspirin, etc.
6. Taking brain and other nutrients: creatine monohydrate, acetyl – L - carnitine, choline, inositol, lecithin, EPA/DHA, balance oil, ALA, CoQ10, PQQ, L-glutamine, GABA, chlorella growth factor, AFA, kali phos D6, silica D6, vitamin B complex, vitamin B12, folic acid, Lugol’s solution, MSM combo, cellfood, fulvicforce, coral calcium, Dr B health and wellness shake, creates an excellent foundation for an effective healing.
7. Special education system and tools.
8. Animal therapy: cats and dogs as pets (if no allergy to pet dander, swimming with dolphins and horse riding (if no allergy to pet dander) contribute a lot to the healing process.
9. Visual and sound therapy stimulates the damaged brain structures to recover. Listening to seashells sound.
10. Radiation protection is an absolute necessity! Get various devices like orgonites (minishield, conus or pyramid), tachyons, quantum pendants, copper wires, etc. to neutralize and/or transform the EMF.
11. Homeopathic remedies: aethusa, Agaricus muscarius, aloe, ambra grisea, anacardium, arsenicum album, arsenicum iodatum, aurum metallicum, Baryta carbonica, baryta muriatica, baryta phosphorica, belladonna, Bufo, Cactus, calcarea phosphorica, carcinosin, causticum, china officinalis, cicuta, cuprum metallicum, gelsemium, helleborus niger, hydrogenium, hyoscyamus, ignatia, iodum, Kalium bromatum, kalium phosphoricum, Lycopodium, magnesium carbonicum, medorrhinum, mercurius solubilis, moschus, muriatic acid, nux moschata, Olibanum sacrum, opium, phosphorus, platinum metallicum, plumbum metallicum, Secretinum, silicea, staphysagria, Stramonium, sulphur, syphilinum, tarentula hispanica, thuja, thyreoidinum, Tuberculinum, veratrum album, zincum metallicum, etc. are very effective in healing of autism. Consult an experienced homeopath to take the case and find the correct remedy/remedies.
12. Bach remedies: aspen, beech, centaury, cerato, cherry plum, chestnut bud, chicory, clematis, crab apple, gentian, gorse, holly, hornbeam, impatiens, larch, mimulus, mustard, oak, olive, rock rose, scleranthus, Star of Bethlehem, sweet chestnut, walnut, water violet, white chestnut, wild oat, wild rose, willow and Rescue remedy.
13. Kinesiology/Body Talk is very good for speeding up the healing.
14. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps tremendously the damaged brain tissue to regenerate.
15. Stimulating of all brain reflex points on the irises, ear lobes, finger tips and toes for 5-10 min once-twice a day is very helpful.
16. Stimulating stem cells release with exercise, fasting, sleep, radiation protection and herbal extracts like XES, stem enhance, AFA, chlorella, spirulina, cordyceps, polygonum multiflorum, astragalus, epimedium, ginseng, Echinacea, fucoidan, pterocarpus marsupium, pine bark proanthocyanidins, curcumin, pomegrante, lupeol, grapholide, vitamin D3, blueberry, carnosine, green tea,  Gradual improvement could be seen after 2-3 months.
17. Autologous stem cell therapy at NeuroGen Brain&Spine Institute in Mumbai, India, neurogenbsi.com with Prof Alok Sharma or other similar facilities worldwide. Dramatic improvement could be seen after 2-3 months.
18. Please, contact Allan Wohrnitz on 0718709585 for life wave patches aeon, carnosine, glutathione, x39, x49 to decrease inflammation, stimulate stem cells release and repair of the affected tissues.
19. Please get the following gem stones to balance the energy: amethyst, black tourmaline, black obsidian, clear quartz, lapis lazuli and sodalite.
20. Reading the Bible daily (Heb 4:12, 2 Tim 3:16-17), prayer (Jam 5:16), laying hands (Mark 16:18) and anointing with oil (Jam 5:14) is essential.

Pray to Yahweh (God) (Ex 3:14-15) and Yeshua (Jesus) (John 1:1-4, John 6:40, 44, 47, 14:6, 12-14, Matth 28:18-20) our Elohim (Yahweh/Yeshua) (Gen 1:1) only!!!

Ask Them to send the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) (Gen 1:2, Acts 2:2-4) to heal the child. Do not put your trust in people (Ps 118:8) using bones/shells/runes, animal sacrifices, rituals, traditions, ancestral spirits, false prophets, astrologers, numerologists, tarot readers, mediums, psychic healers, hypnotherapists, etc. (Lev 19:31, Dan 2:27-28, 47, 3:28-29). This is extremely dangerous! Various demons will present themselves as angels of light (2 Cor 11:14). A progressive confusion/aggravation will follow and the child will never be cured!

Yeshua has cancelled all animal sacrifices and religious rituals by shedding His precious BLOOD once for all people on earth that have lived before, living now and will live in future!!!

The parents of the autistic child should confess all their sins (Jam 5:16) and repent to receive forgiveness. The sacredness of the marriage should be restored. All pornographic materials and sex toys should be thrown out from the house. Unholy masturbation (imagining sexually any face, body, name, other than the marital partner) should be stopped (Matth 5:28). The father of the child should resume his role in the family to be the head, the high priest and the king. Then the wife and the child will be blessed and healed.

The holistic/integrative treatment program leads to fast results. Positive changes could be observed after a few weeks. Dramatic transformation takes place usually after 6-12 months.

Autism is REVERSIBLE and CURABLE! Do not give up! Continue with this program daily! Please, share this vital information with the parents of autistic children, community, priests, teachers, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, holistic practitioners, homeopaths, TCM practitioners, Ayurvedic practitioners, Unani-Tibb practitioners, traditional healers, physiotherapists, chiropractors, craniosacral therapists, osteopaths, reflexologists, educational/child psychologists, OT/ST practitioners, etc.
