Thursday, May 27 7:00 - 9:00 pm James Adams, PhD is a President's Professor at Arizona State University, where his research is focused on the causes of autism and how to treat it. He is also president of the Autism Society of Greater Phoenix, and is co-leader of the Autism Research Institute/Defeat Autism Now! Think Tank. His research includes toxic metals/chelation, nutrition (vitamin/minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids), neurotransmitters, and GI issues. He is the proud father of a daughter with autism. 7:00 - 8:00 pm Biomedical Treatments for Autism This talk will summarize the major biomedical treatments for autism that are supported by research, including special diets, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, digestive enzymes, gut treatments, glutathione, sulfation, chelation, and immunological treatments. For each treatment, there will be a short discussion of the scientific rationale and data supporting the treatment, discuss how to test if the treatment should be considered, and discuss how to implement the treatment. 8:00 - 9:00 pm Nutritional Treatment Studies for Autism This presentation will focus on new results of a major vitamin/mineral treatment study for children with autism. The study will include the effect of a specialized vitamin/mineral supplement on the symptoms of autism, and the effect of the supplement on nutritional status. This includes a comparison of the nutritional status of children with autism versus typical children, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, neurotransmitters, oxidative stress, and toxic metals. |

James B. Adams, PhD, PhD
Prof. Adams research is focused on the biomedical causes of autism and how to treat them. His research includes nutritional status (vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids), metabolic status (methylation, glutathione, sulfation, oxidative stress, neurotransmitters), toxic metals/chelation, and gastrointestinal bacteria.
Important Keys to Recovery
There are many critical elements in an ASD child’s treatment program that are needed to ensure the most successful outcome possible. Lori will discuss the unique combination of therapies that contributed to her son’s recovery including ABA, diet, chelation, supplements, and ionic footbaths. She will also describe how she improved her son’s social, play and cognitive skills through frequent and repetitive therapeutic interactions that parents and caregivers can implement themselves.

Nonverbal Child To Talk Again??
How do you get a nonverbal child with autism to talk again?? I have tried almost everything!! My daughter is going on 9, and still not one word?? I have tried chelation, GFCF, biomed, mb-12, supplements etc... etc... Nothing?? Some people tell me stem cells works miracles?? Is this true?? I think you need to find something very strong to undo what they have done to my daughter. Mercury is the second most toxic substance on earth!! How can you fight that with biomed or anything else for that matter?? It like trying to fight a wildfire with a garden hose.
Surviving Biomedical Therapies without Breaking the Bank
Juggling diets, supplements, IV treatments, IVIG, educational therapies and the rest of life is taxing under the best of circumstances and particularly difficult on a budget. Dr. Brown will provide tips and approaches for choosing which battles to fight and which can be postponed. He will also take a look at those biomedical interventions that can be started before you meet with a practitioner, how to initiate them safely and effectively and how to make the most of your therapy dollar.
