Could This Be The One?
I heard a webinar this past weekend from The Brain Foundation about a new supplement, Neuromodin, that they are funding a clinical trial on for children from ages 5-12.
Over the past few years, the same pharmaceutical company that has been working on getting FDA approval for Suramin to treat autism has been slowly progressing through FDA trials.
Suramin works on a pathway that targets the cell danger response so that when a child’s body is placed under stress from whatever the cause, the mitochondria will not switch into this danger response which causes loss of ATP which is the currency of energy.
Neuromodin has emodin, a plant compound derived from Japanese knotweed, and working in a similar fashion as Suramin to modulate purinergic signaling to halt the cell danger response through different pathways.
This is very encouraging knowing that we could have something to address a potential root cause of autism- the cell danger response causing the mitochondrial to lose energy.
Without mitochondria producing energy due to being in defense mode, the brain cannot function at full capacity which can lead to ASD.
Since Neuromodin is a supplement, it isn’t required to undergo FDA trials like Suramin; however, its manufacture, Polomar Health, wants to test it before rolling it out to market which I think is judicious.
It’s always encouraging when there’s something new on the horizon.
We’ve been through this with many drugs like Secretin but often the drugs fell short of what was forecasted.
Let’s pray that this will provide some benefits to our community.
If you’re interested, here’s a link to the criteria to become enrolled in the trial: https://brainfoundation.org/neuromodin/.
We are empowering families to find root causes such as mitochondrial dysfunction in order to heal.
