I want to go over a brief explanation of mitochondria. We know that mitochondria play a major role in the metabolism of individuals with autism. Mitochondria also play a role in the health of all in terms of how our body produces energy. Some people have underlying mitochondrial disease, which is usually diagnosed early in life and can even be fatal. Others have underlying mitochondrial that may not be life threatening, but certainly can be difficult when faced with environmental problems. If the person gets sick, the vaccine reactions or toxic heavy metals, which can put a lot of stress on the body.
With chronic fatigue syndrome, the body can not produce enough energy, so you’re constantly tired. Mitochondrial have been stressed to the point where they are not active. The same can happen with those who have autism, their mitochondria can be dysfunctional and energy metabolism of them may become compromised. This can adversely affect the immune system from the nervous system to detoxification system.
You can envision the mitochondria to be small factories that are inside our cells, producing tons of energy. The main sources of fuel in mitochondria are fat and protein. We get a lot of energy byproduct of the metabolism of fats and proteins against sugar for example. Mitochondria are important for this level of energy currency production.
Suitable examples to explain this concept is to think about starting a campfire. In the beginning, you use small twigs and dried leaves, fired, starting a fire. It burns fast but will not burn for a long time, the same way our body uses sugar, or glucose. It can jumpstart the body but will not support us. When you start the fire you need to add larger pieces of wood to sustain a fire. This would be fat and protein to help maintain our bodies in the long term. Burning sugar is a quick yet inefficient form the metabolism of the body but our body burns fat usually long term.
But if you start with issues in the mitochondria of their ability to regulate your metabolism, that’s when you run into trouble. We see this often in autism where the various elements within the mitochondria become dysfunctional. There are supplements that support mitochondrial function as CoQ10, NADH and ribose. They fuel and feed the mitochondria so they will work more relevant. You will hear more about mitochondria in the future, they are energy systems inside our cells. Mitochondria produce energy to keep our organs functioning properly and to keep us all healthy.
