Effective Autism
Treatments... Can Reverse
Autistic Symptoms

If you are here… you probably have a loved one
that is lost or locked in a world of autism. The most
important thing for you to know - There are extremely effective
treatments to reverse symptoms of this devastating and heartbreaking
syndrome. However, you have to take your child’s recovery into your
own hands. This means acting as a super sleuth. This
website was developed to be an important gathering place for mothers to share
and explore treatment options available to eliminate their child’s
symptoms of autism by healing their bodies and minds.
Most of my daughter’s “specialists” didn’t know (or believe)
treatment options are available for autism (or other psychological disorders for
that matter). The ones who did pooh-poohed them. As
parents, you know how “difficult and time consuming” it is to live with an
autistic infant, toddler, or teenager!
Many of these specialists had such conflicting views and
seemed to argue amongst themselves. This created confusion
and discord in our family. Maybe this turned out for the best -
It set me on my journey of searching for answers. I leave no stone
unturned. I seek out and search for validation of all
treatments. Looking back on it I’d rather have little or no
information than I would BELIEVING bad information. Especially
thinking, “there is no hope”.
I decided to go to the people who really
know what treatments work – The Parents (and caregivers) who live with
these autistic children day in and day out. Not to
mention… How do Doctors determine whether a treatment is
successful? They ask the parents to look for improvements.
There are many symptoms that
the large majority of children with autism share. Many
of these things are like a domino effect. Tip the first and it
causes a symptom and knocks down another that causes more illness and
other dominos to fall. I am not referring to those on the “psychological
symptoms Checklist” that the Developmental Pediatrician or Pediatric
Neurologist used or will use for Diagnosis. We will discuss those
too. I am speaking of the signs of real illness many
of our special children share.
If you treat the underlying
medical and biochemical symptoms of autism, you will almost always
get some level of improvement even with older
children. However, younger children before age 6 or 7 when the brain
is mostly developed have a chance at some real “amazing”, “miraculous”,
or “impossible” results.
My twin daughter, Hannah, has beaten her
label using many of these treatment options. She no
longer fits on the autism spectrum. Currently
she would just barely fit as having attention deficit
(ADD). However, there is no doubt in my mind that we’ll
beat that too by continuing on her current course! Hannah
has never had any type of ABA (Applied Behavior
Analysis). She only gets a limited amount
of speech therapy through her special needs preschool but no
longer requires it. Her language has
exploded. She has a very impressive vocabulary for
a 4 ½ year old.
In case you’re Thinking Do I need a
Doctor to discuss these treatments?” In a perfect
world… You will find a Doctor who listens, is willing to learn, keeps
abreast of the latest research, and who won’t treat you like either a nutcase
or an idiot etc. Sadly, after 2 years, I am still looking for
such a Doctor
If you learn how to listen to your child’s body,
it is my personal opinion, that a doctor to treat autism
is not absolutely necessary for success. Especially if
your child is young (4 or under), I feel there might be a greater risk
not treating while you’re on a waiting list to “see someone
good”.
The waiting list to see a
“someone good” Doctor in our area (Metro Atlanta GA) will take at least
12-18 months. This can be very valuable time wasted. In
some cases you might need a diagnosis to get services your child might
need. If you do have a good Doctor, use that resource
for sure. You are very fortunate in deed!
If you’re unsure or uneasy about a treatment ask
those who have gone before you by talking with parents who have tried
them. Or start with those that have no risk what so
ever. The fact is no one knows your child better than you do. If
a Doctor ever tells you he knows more because he’s trained or has medical
tests…I would leave immediately. Down the road you will
really want a Doctor with a team player attitude.
The treatments you will find on
this site are not medications. Almost all of them
are completely safe and effective for treating autism and
in some cases attention deficit disorder (ADD), bipolar, or
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Some of them however, might
require a specialist.
I do not believe in medicating for
any disease or illness until and only when ALL other means have been
exhausted. The reason for this is simple… First, all medications
only suppress symptoms. Second, all medications are
drugs that do some level of damage to the detoxification
system – The effects of this can be devastating when many autistic children have problems
detoxifying to begin with. Third, they do nothing for why
the body is breaking down and causing them in the first
place. Forth, (assuming you need another reason) they aren’t
necessarily effective or as effective as an alternative.
You will only find products,
resources or tools that we feel are superior and in some
cases proven effective on this site. Also, we assume you
are on a tight budget so we’ve tried to keep that in mind when
making our choices. However, some treatments are expensive
but are successful.
We sincerely hope you’ll use this site regularly
for information and try some of these treatments for
yourself. Hopefully, you too can eliminate or greatly
reduce your child’s symptoms of autism. Then share your
experience with others by participating and interacting with this website.
All statements made on this website are for informational and educational purposes only. We believe all statements are factual. However, they are the individual experiences of each author(s) and are not warranted. All sources are referenced when possible. This information is not intended to treat or diagnose any disease or illness – It is simply mothers sharing what treatments worked or didn’t work to help their child’s autism. We believe all children with autism are unique individuals and should be treated as such. Therefore, no two children will respond to the same treatments the same way. All health concerns including, but not limited to, starting or stopping any medication or supplementation should be addressed with a doctor or other appropriate health professional.
