ASK believes that parents often find their greatest support in other parents who are in a similar situation. Sharing and learning from each other empowers parents. The unique aspect of ASK support is that it involves a parent helping another parent. Nevertheless, we are not forgetting the fact that parents also need professional support. Finding appropriate specialists and the right therapeutic options have always been a huge struggle for a lot of parents in this region.

Autism, epilepsy, schizophrenia, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, attention deficit, hyperactivity, dyslexia, dyspraxia, neuropathies, narcolepsy, etc.; all these conditions which alter the functioning of the central nervous system and the mind may be treated with natural approaches, whereby nutrition and toxicology play a fundamental role.Neurotoxins, both endogenous (produced by the body itself) and exogenous (stemming from outside the body) are the main responsible substances for the diseases that concern us. Other sources of disturbance of cognitive and mental function are the deficit of nutrients, the disorder of neurotransmitters, the inflammation caused by the immune system and the oxidative stress.
In this article I will expose the main arguments supporting alternative schools that offer solutions to these diseases, as well as the proposal of LivingFullyNourished.

In the media we can often find information about the thousand virtues of certain foods: omega3 in flaxseed that is good for the brain, phytohormones in soy that are good for menopause, garlic and onion are antibiotics, chocolate, coffee and wine are still claimed to be beneficial due to their anti-oxidant properties... But what about the harmful effects of these foods? Why are the effects of such as phytic acid in flaxseed; lectins, saponins, oxalates, digestive enzyme inhibitors and goitrogens in soy; alicin in garlic and onion; tannins in chocolate, coffee and wine; oxalates and histamine in chocolate and coffee not considered?In this article we will address the issue of antinutrients, one of the most controversial questions from the point of view of the different nutritionist trends.
