The First Dads of Autism: Life Lessons and Early Patterns from the Leo Kanner’s First 11 Fathers

Interesting patterns of father’s experiences in autism were set at the outset of the Age of Autism and have included abandonment, avoidance, anger and advocacy. Taking a historical perspective on the first fathers of the autism epidemic, this discussion will reflect on the lessons for the fathers in the epidemic period of autism.

Autism and the Environment Protecting our Children

Power Point Presentation By: Norm Schwartz, MD

There is accumulating evidence that links autism spectrum disorders to environmental toxins as well as the limitations in eliminating environmental toxins. Environmental exposures appear to be the most likely cause for the increase in autism spectrum disorders. In this presentation we will review the scope of the problem and identify what can be done, including minimizing exposures, supporting detoxification pathways, medical treatments, and preparing for pregnancy.

ENGAGING TWO-HOUR PRESENTATION

Christopher Shade, PhD

Dr. Shade holds a master's degree in environmental and aqueous chemistry. He earned a PhD from the University of Illinois, where he studied the environmental and analytical chemistries of mercury as well as advanced aquatic chemistry. Dr. Shade patented analytical technology for mercury speciation analysis and later founded Quicksilver Scientific, LLC. Shortly after this, Dr. Shade turned his focus to the human aspects of mercury exposure/toxicity and the human detoxification system. He has since developed specific clinical analytical techniques for measuring mercury exposure and a system of products to remove metallic and organic toxins by upregulation of innate detoxification biochemistry. His current focus is at the intersection of neuroinflammatory issues, immune dysregulation, toxicity, and infection - specifically how to peel away the layers of overlapping dysfunction until you get to a point at which the system rights itself.

To Vaccinate Your Teenage Girl, Teenage Boy, Yourself ...Or not?

To Vaccinate Your Teenage Girl, Teenage Boy, Yourself ...Or not?

As soon as a teenage girl walks into her pediatrician’s office, he will suggest another vaccination, to be delivered through a series of shots spaced out over six months. This time the vaccine is Gardasil, intended to protect her from being infected by the human papilloma virus, HPV, which might cause cervical cancer later in life.

On balance, is this series of vaccinations a good idea? Is it safe? Is it worth the possible side effects?
