Our Approach to Autism Recovery

By utilizing special blood and urine lab tests, we are able to detect underlying functional disturbances that contribute to conditions such as Autism, PDD, ADD, ADHD and other cognitive disturbances not amenable to drug therapy. My primary areas of measurement are:

  • Metabolism of organic acids, fatty acids, and amino acids.
  • Mitochondrial and cellular capacity.
  • Dysfunction of the digestive tract.
  • Impairment of the detoxification capacity of the liver and kidneys.
  • Toxic and nutrient metals
  • Fungal overgrowths.
  • Parasitic infestation.
  • Vaccine history and schedule.
  • Underlying immune reactions to foods and additives beyond gluten and casein.
  • Neurotransmitter production and regulation.
  • Blood and tissue levels of key vitamins and minerals.

We focus on these areas for two reasons. First, these are the core elements regulating the body's ability to control brain function, repair itself, rid itself of environmental toxins, and coordinate internal physiology. Secondly, these are the areas we can repair in order to restore proper function. Incidentally, these metabolic areas are not amenable to drug therapy, so they are not evaluated by pediatricians.
