I have been reading “Gut and Psychology Syndrome” by Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride. She has had quite a lot of success treating children in her clinic in England, reversing autism, allergies, ADHD, and many other conditions. Her own son was diagnosed with autism.

You don’t have to dig very deep. Just barely enough to cover the scraps with dirt.
Do not use any meat scraps or anything from animals — otherwise [...]
