AUTISM AND DETOXIFICATION

[Tom46]

I have a alomost 5 year old daughter diagnosed with autism. She's on vitamin therapy, gets ABA terapy, along with
ot, speech and pt during her days at an
intergrated preschool group...We came upon
an article in Natural health magazine about
a young boy who was treated at the Edelson
Child center in Atlanta...The story was amazing...The child had severe autism...Dr
Edelson believes autism is toxin driven...
He may be on to something here...All clients have had between 60%-75% improvement and some were totaly reverse...His theroy is simple...Testing for toxins ..then treat
accordingly...testing is extensive and
expensive...it takes 3-5 days...they test for
allergies...yeast...almost everything imagineable....After 3-4 weeks tests results are reviewed and treatment is prescribed to detox the child...My question is does anyone
know of this center and his work?...Here in Ny
state we can't seem to get all the testing we want but don't want to pay a fortune for
tests and treatments that offer no guarantees...Pleas let me know if anyone has heard of this Center..the web site for it is [url="http://www.edelsoncenter.com/autism.html..."]http://www.edelsoncenter.com/autism.html...[/url]
thank you

Be very very skeptical.
check out to see if this 'clinic' is listed on [url="http://www.quackwatch.com"]www.quackwatch.com[/url]

If they claim they can test for heavy-metal poisoning by hair analysis, run! That's a cardinal sign of quackery!

Hi Faulty,
I would love to see some documentation to support your statement about hair analysis. I was trained to recommend this diagnostic tool, and only have the input my instructors gave. I have one dr. who believes in it, and one that doesn't. So, if you have articles to help me achieve enlightenment in this area, I would GREATLY appreciate it!
Thanks so much,

Hi Tom46,
I am familiar with the theory of autism and detoxification, but not with this particular clinics' work.

My own research in this area has shown the PROBABILITY (not conclusively) of deficiencies of/or inability to process B vitamins, specifically B6, liver toxicity, potential serotonin & hormonal imbalances, and others. This points, to me, for the theory you present to be credible.

My own experiences (family mem.) with autism suggest that an overall nutrition program, with high-quality supplements added (vits, minerals, full range amino acids and a full range phytonutrient preparation), has helped ALLEVIATE (not cure) many of the above symptoms.

You may find help closer to home, and probably alot less expensive by checking out an holistic nutrtionist or naturopathic dr.

Investigate, investigate! and best of luck to you

Hi Tom, I am interested in getting the info as well. I have heard of testing for mercury, which we are in the process of waiting for hair analysis results at this time. I came across a program or organization called NAET, who have a book out called curing allergy induced autism. I plan to purchase that on Friday, and read it quick. Currently we are looking for the cause of this, assuming it may be due to either MMR or FLU vaccine, both of which have mercury. After the hair analysis, we plan on a possible biopsy of intestine to look for cause of damage. I read that if a vaccine caused damage, it could be reverseable in th intestine. I know that my sons problem stems from a problem in the intestine causing the leaky-gut syndrome, as well as all the behavioral problems that go along with it. I hope someone will respond with the info Re: yourposting. I wish you the best.
