Just checked the lutein content of flax seeds (244mcg/200cal).

Pistachios are also really high (424mcg/200cal). I thought I was safe with one or two from the mix, I guess that explains how I worsened this much in the last two weeks.

thanks for that tip! scrubbing the internet to see if Hemp Oil has any Lutein. So far, so good. Good to hear you're feeling better, hang in there.

I found an interesting article about luteolin which is not a carotenoid that can health with the chronic inflammation often present with autism:

Kids With Autism May Need Natural Support

Apparently, it's in parsley, thyrme, peppermint, basil, celery, and artichoke. 

Since I'm not zero A, I might try adding more of those fresh herbs. I think they were chosen as much for their taste as for their medicinal effects.

I don't like what I'm reading on hemp seed oil. It's as high in flavonoids as flaxseed oil. It contains too much omega 3s. It seems to have quite a bit of carotenoids (4.3 to 12 mg/100g), but haven't compared with other oils like olive oil or sunflower oil. One article mentioned that it has a unique yellow greenish color and is fluorescent.

Here is an interesting document detailing the composition of the oil: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/lite.201500050&ved=2ahUKEwio7b-S5dDgAhXF5YMKHZOVB9gQFjAWegQIBBAB&usg=AOvVaw2eFB3az23RvgGcIOJZSggx

Few years ago I used hemp seed oil, for skincare oil cleanse method to help acne, it made things much much worse.  Probably the carotenoids.
