One of the most well-known factors that lead to behavioral challenges is exposure to environmental toxins. Behaviorally challenged kids seem to have an impaired ability to develop a robust immune system.Ī number of published studies have shown DMG to enhance and improve the immune system.* The beauty of it is that it has been shown to enhance antibody production (B Cells) as well as T Cells, which produce specific protein molecules that help keep the immune system strong and defend the body from outside invaders.* Detoxification and Healthy Inflammation Benefits Their bodies often have trouble dealing with invaders that other children may handle more easily. Many children with behavioral challenges suffer from immunological imbalances. In short, DMG supports methylation.* Immunological Imbalances Methylation plays a role in many conditions, and it impacts a wide range of factors that help to establish what functional medical practitioners consider good health and well-being. The importance of methylation can’t be understated we could write a separate post focusing on it alone. It’s so important because it’s a one-carbon-donator that directly affects the methylation pathways, the immune system, and detoxification pathways.* Methylation Many different elements enter into the bigger picture, so recognizing and diagnosing what makes each particular case unique is critical to remediating the associated conditions.Īs a practitioner, and even as a parent, you have to approach the symptoms with a wide brush until you can develop a refined program that works for that individual child.ĭimethylglycine (DMG) is an amino acid that is an essential part of the metabolic pathway. No Universal Approach to Careīecause the causes of behavioral challenges are so broad and complex, no universal approach to care is going to fit the needs of each child affected. There are so many factors that contribute to behavioral challenges, trying to mitigate the symptoms becomes uniquely difficult.īehavioral challenges can include impaired communication and social skills because behavioral and neurological functions and the way an individual receives and absorbs messages can be altered.
