Great press on a very important issue. We are entering a new phase in autism therapeutic protocols. Autism is a blanket diagnosis for disorders that manifest because of real biological conditions that are triggered by an excessive environmental toxic load. Treating these biological conditions and clearing the body improves quality of life and sometimes cures autism. I have to laugh at the ridicule that some of the "unconventional" therapies bring. The FDA has approved chelation drugs such as Ferriprox (deferiprone) for the removal of heavy metals for example. But if a provider uses it to remove heavy metals in a child who happens to have autism it is deemed abusive (Jenny). Medscape recently published an article regarding the benefits of Hyperbaraic Oxygen Therapy, but suddenly if it is used on a child with autism then the children should be removed from the home. This is utter nonsense! Not treating the biological conditions that our children suffer from is the tragedy. Autistic children have higher rates of GI pathology, epilepsy, schizophrenia, CNS/Cranial Anomalies, Diabetes Melitus Type I, Poor nutritional status, Muscular Dystrophy, Sleep Disorders, Neurological Processing Disorders, Food Allergies and increased levels of heavy metal toxicity. Properly diagnosing and treating these deficits has been a proven strategy in moving children off the autistic spectrum.
