AUTISM

Autism is a condition that affects a huge number of individuals.  While there is a genetic component, the numbers have been steadily increasing due to the huge amount of enviornmental toxins that are bombarding us from the moment of conception.

The good news is that a large portion of autistic individuals are NOT locked into their condition.  Great strides have been made in treating autism - and progress is being made every day. 

I am DAN (Defeat Autism Now) trained and have seen fantastic progress made when the naturopathic approach is used to help design a treatment protocol.  There is no doubt that a large portion of autistic individuals have severe gastrointestinal issues (including food allergies, absorption issues, and permeability problems) as well as a general problem detoxifying.  This means that even small amounts of environmental stresses like heavy metals, pesticides, and plastics that the average person can detox are not excreted from the body.  

In addition, a program developed by the DAN group is turning out to be a big help in determining what treatments have the highest likelihood of being successful.
