The Biomedical Approach to Treating Autism Spectrum Disorders: An Overview
Know What Treatments Work and How To Get Them To Work Even Better.
Daily toxic exposure and its impact on health and behavioral development
The average baby has detectable levels at birth of 286 of the 300 most toxic chemicals in our environment. The EPA allow 85,000 chemicals to be released into the environment and 83,000 of these have never had any animal or human testing. The FDA allows over 2,000 chemicals to be added to food that the immune system must remove as a toxin. To maintain normal health and development we must identify, avoid and remove these toxic chemicals.

QEEG-Guided Neurofeedback: New Brain Based Subtype Assessment and Successful Individualized Treatment for Autism
QEEG-guided neurofeedback is based on normalizing dysregulated brain regions that relate to specific clinical presentation. QEEG-guided neurofeedback is specific to each individual’s QEEG subtype. The goal is to balance brain functioning. This tailored approach should not be underestimated.These include significant speech and communication improvements, calmer and less aggressive behavior, increased attention, better eye contact, and improved socialization, including medication reduction.
