A Parent Survival Guide to ...


Modern psychiatry would like us to believe that autism is a "behavioral" disease.

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.

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.

Nonverbal Child To Talk Again??
