Objective: L-Carnosine is an amino acid dipeptide that may enhance frontal lobe function. We therefore sought to investigate whether L-Carnosine supplementation for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) results in observable, objective changes in language and/or behavior in contrast to placebo.

Design/Methods: Thirty-one children (21 M, mean age= 7.45; range = 3.2-12.5 yrs) meeting inclusion criteria were enrolled in an 8 week blinded trial of either 400 mg BID powdered L-Carnosine or placebo. Children were assessed at a pediatric neurology clinic with the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale (GARS), the Expressive and Receptive One-Word Picture Vocabulary tests (E/ROWPVT), and biweekly parental Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI), at baseline and 8 week endpoint. Dr Michael G. Chez is specialist and associate professor in Child Neurology Results: Children who were on placebo (n=17) did not show statistically significant changes on any of the outcome measures. After 8 weeks on L-Carnosine, children (n=14) showed statistically significant improvements on the GARS total score, GARS Behavior, Socialization, and Communication subscales, and the ROWPVT (all p’s<.05). E/ROWPVT and CARS showed trends in improvements, which were supported by parental CGI.

Conclusions: Oral supplementation with 400mg L-Carnosine resulted in demonstrable improvements in autistic behaviors as well as increases in language comprehension that reached statistical significance. Although the mechanism of action of the amino acid is not well understood, it is believed that it acts to modulate neurotransmission and affect metal ion transfer of zinc and copper in the entorhinal cortex. This may enhance neurological function or act in a neuroprotective fashion.

Balancing Body Energies for Greater Wellbeing with Accessible New Technology

The LifeWave energy Enhancer Patches are disposable Class1 Medical devices which assist in balancing and enhancing health and performance energetically. The Auramed Biopulsar Reflexograph gives a visual image of the state of your bodies energetic health. Many believe that disease begins in our energetic bodies first. Personally I don’t think things are that black and white, but certainly the more balanced our energies, the greater our wellbeing and more resilient we are to fight disease and speed up healing. The picture below shows the aura of a 45 male before the application of the LifeWave patches. Note: dark blue and especially violet and white areas indicate energy blockages. Yellow and orange areas represent lack of energy in respective organs and body parts. The more green and turquoise, the more the aura is energetically in balance.

The next picture shows the changes after wearing the patches for 4 hrs.

The effects perceived by those using the patches can vary. Some people are jumping out of their socks, other, like me, feel a gentle sense of wellbeing. However, long term, the Energy Enhancer patches will allow the body to function better and bit by bit you will notice greater wellness in your life.

Amazing Pain Relief in Minutes with a new device.

If you read about me you will see I am a Chiropractor and Massage therapist, so I have seen a lot of people in pain and none of it is good. From a therapists point of view pain makes my job difficult, everything is self-protective, reactive and so much of your time is wasted placating the pain reaction that is happening in the tissues.

Recently I got my first opportunity to test out the LifeWave pain patches-IceWave. I had heard good reports that 80% of people will experience 50% or greater pain relief in under 5 minutes. I had heard of a few cases from colleagues where long standing conditions had been almost instantly relieved and so I had to check it out for myself.

Fiona is a single Mum with three active kids and a knee crushed from a horse falling on it over 20 years ago. The injury has caused her a lot of problems over the years, but recently it flared up badly and when I saw her she was in excruciating pain, she did not want to move it at all which made Physio virtually impossible, she had knife like pain traveling through the whole leg and her inner thigh had turned into a soft pulpy jelly- a reflex inhibition of the Vastus Medialis Oblique muscle that often occurs with knee problems and further complicates rehab.

There is not really much you can do while someone is in that much pain apart from ice/heat/ultrasound, acupuncture would be beneficial but I don’t practice it. Forget any physical therapy-even the lightest pressure was intensely painful and any muscle activation or joint movement was impossible. Not nice.

So, I pulled out a set of patches, put the brown patch over the main pain and the white one just above it. Immediately Fiona experienced warmth and smelt wintergreen. The sharp pain vanished and within a few minutes she did 10 good quad pumps. She kept saying, “What the #### is in those patches! This is unbelievable”. Fiona has had a colorful past…

The interesting thing is there is no wintergreen in the patches and no heat producing chemicals… this reaction is purely energetic. The patches emit a particular energetic frequency that takes away pain.

I then felt to move the white patch to her sternum and she experienced a tremendous energetic release. I could see the goosebumps all over her arms and legs. It was stinking hot in Australia this day, so it wasn’t the cold. She said she was feeling calmness and a sense of wellbeing and the pent up stress that has accompanied this and other issues seemed to leave her body.

I have never seen such a powerful change or received such heartfelt thanks from someone whose life I have just helped. And it was all so easy, and all so quick. What a great adjunct to a busy practice. My new protocol for acute pain will be to patch up patients first for three days, then get them in to start therapy. It will make my job way easier. Will keep you posted in this.
