Is your child autistic?

The number of children with autism has gone from 1 in 10,00 in 1980 to 1 in 88 girls and 1 in 54 boys today. Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability with a growth rate of 1,148%.  The numbers are staggering. Some of this because of diagnosing has gotten better.  But most of the increase is due to the toxins to which we and our children are exposed.

Many parents come to me after their child has already been diagnosed. Most autistic  children develops at a healthy rate, and then ‘suddenly’, their behavior changes drastically.

Some of the symptoms include:

• Anxiety
• Digestive issues
• Increased pain threshold
• Withdrawal
• Aggression
• Impulsiveness
• Lack of attention and difficulty making eye contact
• Issues with non-verbal communication
• Lacking in verbal communication skills
• Poor immune responses
• Problems with social relationships
• Obsessive attachments to certain objects
• Sensory integration problems
• Poor behavior, whining, or tantrums
• Insomnia

Common causes:

• Poor Detoxification
• Heavy Metal Toxicity
• Inflamed Gut and Microbial Imbalance
• Food Allergies
• Nutritional Deficiencies

What you can do

• Have your child tested for heavy metal poisoning, food allergies, and gut health.
• Put your child on an allergy elimination diet.
• Avoid vaccines, especially those containing mercury.
• Avoid amalgam/silver fillings, as these contain mercury.
• Avoid all toxic cleaning and beauty products.
• Feed your family organic, non-genetically modified foods.
• Receive acupuncture/acupressure treatments along with herbal medicine.
• Research what supplements will help your child.

I can help your autistic child with any of the above steps to have a healthier, more fulfilling life. There is hope.

Live natural. Live well.
