Can CRISPR Cure Autism?

In the latest study, published by researchers from the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Texas, and GenEdit, have adapted CRISPR-Gold technology in order to treat autistic symptoms in mice.

Beating the Autistic Odds with CRISPR

One of the major highlights of the new research is the fact that CRISPR-cas9 could be a way to edit certain genes that relate to fragile X syndrome, which is a single-gene disorder frequently connected with autism, and autistic symptoms were improved on. Research provides additional evidence that conveyance of CRISPR-based therapeutics may be effectively accomplished via gold nanoparticles.

Mutations in the FMR1 gene is the cause of Fragile X syndrome. This gene plays a key role in encoding the protein, FMRP, the regulator in the production of different proteins and contributes markedly to the development of synapses.

Most of the time Fragile X occurs because of a mutation, which results in the enlargement of a part of the genetic code called CGG triplet repeat. This segment is repeated 5 to 40 times in healthy people, but patients with FXS, the CGG triplet may repeat over 200 times. This expansion hinders the gene from creating FMRP, which interferes with synapses and impacts nervous system functions, which in turn leads to behavioral, intellectual, and developmental disorders.

FXS is a health condition that mutations caused in a single gene, becoming an ideal candidate for CRISPR-based therapies. Th signs of FXS happen to match the excessive repetitive behaviors often used to diagnose autism, suggesting alleviating autism symptoms via genome engineering.

Cure for Autism is a Bullet to the Brain!

A man who shot himself in a suicidal attempt, lost his compulsive and obsessive behavior of washing his hands and showering constantly; the bullet to his brain worked as the "treatment" in removing his former behaviors. But do not shoot your autistic child as a cure for autism! You will most likely kill your child instead of treating the condition and end up in jail!

GAPS Diet Cures Autism?

GAPS stands for Gut and Psychology Syndrome; it's a condition where neurological disorders like ADD, depression, autism, schizophrenia, and OCD are thought to be caused by imbalances in the gut.  GAPS Diet eliminates sugar, grains, and starch, and instead, adds foods rich in healthy fats, probiotics, and amino acids required to repair the gut wall. Many health problems disappear when the gut lining is healed. No One Should Feel Forced To Live A Lifetime With Autism  Are You Satisfied with Only Treating Autistic Symptoms?

Treating Autism with MUFAS?

Treating an autistic person with MEFAS may yield positive results. A trial was conducted in Spain where 105 children with ASD and 495 developing TD(tardive dyskinesia), age ranging from 6 to 9. The groups were compared. Results:  groups did not differ either in total dietary intake, food Variety Score, or Healthy Eating Index. Kids with ASD had lower saturated fatty acids and w-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids intakes; their total PUFA intakes and w-6/w-3 ratios were higher compared to TD children. Both groups had low w-6 intakes, too low w-3 intakes, and high w-6/w-3 ratios. Conclusion:  more research is needed to see links between ASD symptomatology, fat-eating patterns, and overall health condition.

Lupron Treatment Tried to Treat Autism by

Lupron is a drug used for treating prostate cancer in men and fibroids in women. Its therapy for autism is rooted in the theory that testosterone enlarges the toxic effects of mercury. But there exists no proof proving Lupron is either safe or effective treatment for autism. Also, the drug can cause negative side effects like hives, tingling, weakness, numbness, painful urination, bone pain, blood in the urine, osteoporosis, and testicular pain.

Treating Aggression in Autism

The drug risperidone was FDA-approved for treating aggressive behavior in autistic children. But bear in mind that while you may succeed in reducing that aggressiveness, your child may experience many unfavorable side effects such as dizziness, tiredness, drowsiness, twitching, agitation, depression, upset stomach, dry mouth, constipation, weight gain, sore throat, and others.

Black Manta Cured Autism

Who is Black Manta? He is a fictional supervillain in comic books. As a child Black Manta was extremely autistic. On account of his wildly unpredictable outbursts as an orphan, he was sent to Artcham Asylum, where he underwent several experimentations, curing him of autism, clearing his mind, but causing him serious side effects: he became very violent and vicious. He also grew more energetic and his endurance increased dramatically. No One Should Feel Forced To Live A Lifetime With Autism Are You Satisfied with Only Treating Autistic Symptoms?
