The "new" Childhood epidemics. The four "A's". Autism, ADHD, asthma and allergies. There are approximately 30 million children affected by these new epidemics.
The first "A" - Autism.
Autism, according to the "annual; survey" is now affecting more than 2.2% of children between the ages of 3 and 17, which is equivalent to 1 in 45.
How did we get here?
Although autism is defined as a behavioral disorder and not a biological one; however, it is biological. The criteria for autism includes impaired social interaction and communication and a restricted repertoire of activities and interests. Biological features associated with autism include: seizures, cognitive deficits, savant skills, sensory dysfunction and motor abnormalities.
There are other biological features such as metabolic abnormalities, GI issues, food allergies and immune dysfunction. Subgroups of autism include: GI/ Gut-brain impairments, Allergy/sensitivities, Immune deficiencies/Autoimmune expressions, infections, and metabolic disturbances..
Links have been found between autism and maternal exposure to pesticides. Toxins such as pesticides, phthalates, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) solvents, toxic waste sites, air pollutants and heavy metals are implicated in autism. Our I.V. ozone therapies are phthalate-free. All ozone therapies are MD ordered and RN administered.
We have a full array of nutraceutical choices for your child or adult with autism to improve their baseline of health and quality of life. We offer injectable vitamins and minerals for those who can tolerate injections; otherwise, we have powdered, liquid and small gel caps.
We are all under oxidative stress. We offer SpectraCell Lab testing to find your vitamin and mineral deficiencies. This ensures individualized intelligent treatment.
