Autism is a MASSIVE Cover-Up

I deliberately used the word “remission”. The word “recovery” is thrown around like candy in the autism world. “Oh, my sons recovered,” “Oh, I’m trying to recover him.” From what I can see, having been in the clinical setting for 7-years, is this really places even more stress on families. Families are feeling if they haven’t achieved recovery in two, three, four, five years, they feel like they have failed. […]

The 4 Biggest Problems in Biomed | Functional Medicine (and how one tool solves them all)

Conventional Medicine for chronic disease is set up as “one pill for one ill.” In contrast, Functional Medicine requires you to be a participant in your lifestyle choices, understanding medical costs and driving health care decisions.

The next week you’re surprised to see their follow-up is cancelled… and even more surprised when your calls and emails go unanswere […]

Parent the Child. Not the Autism.

The-Child.-The-Autism

I went to battle with it because that’s my personality. I’ll take the bull by the horns and wrestle it to the ground. That’s what I tried to do with Autism, which nearly killed me. I realized that if I was going to SUSTAIN this long, expensive, and challenging Biomed | functional medicine root-cause process and SURVIVE this journey, I could not fight the Autism. It was bigger and more powerful than me. […]

A-Mothers-Journey-through-Autism

Teri S. and her husband Alan arrived at my Autism Recovery Clinic in December of 2013. Their then 12-year old son refused to eat-he would scream and clear the table when she served him a meal, he was so thin Teri cried each time she bathed him, his meltdowns were so severe trips out in public were limited, he was totally non-verbal, chronically constipated, and not potty trained.
