Effective Therapies for Autism: Ranging from Brain Physics to Immunological Interventions for the Gut and the Brain

Over the past 17 years I have attempted to explore and document what forms of therapy work for individuals with autism related issues. The key is the individual rather than the statistics of group responses. One child may need intensive metal detoxification, while another needs advanced immunological treatments. One child may respond vigorously the hyperbaric oxygen while another begins speaking in sentences after transcranial magnetic therapy. This presentation will span the peer-reviewed literature to create an algorithm for how to address each case and how best to determine which therapies will likely be effective. The goal is to focus on the individual needs and methodologies to determine best practices.

James Jeffrey Bradstreet , MD, MD(H) FAAFP, FMAPS

Dr. Bradstreet is extensively published and involved in ongoing research into the immune system and brain physics (TMS/MRT) of autism. He is on faculty at Western University of Health Sciences Faculty for Autism Collaboration and Education (FACE) and is working with the faculty to develop innovative biomedical techniques to restore functionality to individuals with autism spectrum disorders. He recent publications cover topics in immunology, brain imaging and stem cell interventions.
