Autism, An Extreme Challenge to Integrative Medicine. Part II: Medical Management (PDF)
Current pharmaceuticals fail to benefit the primary symptoms and can have marked adverse effects. Individualized, indepth clinical and laboratory assessments and integrative parent-physician-scientist cooperation are the keys to successful ASD management.
AUTISM-A TYPE OF LYME DISEASE (PDF)
Autism is growing at epidemic rates. (1) It is reported to be prevelant in 1-150 children, some states 1-80 children. Autism is a complex neurological disorder with seemingly provable and many etiologies such as maternal viruses and bacteria (2), immediate cord clamping and birth drugs (3), metabolic insufficiency during development in utero or infancy (ie, […]
Autism: A Multi-System Oxidative and Inflammatory Disorder (PDF)
Suggestions are made for future therapeutic modalities addressing possible underlying causes of oxidative stress.
Autism: It’s Not Just In The Head (PDF)
Changes in nitric oxide levels and antioxidant enzyme activities may have a role in the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in autism (PDF)
These findings indicate a possible role of increased oxidative stress and altered enzymatic antioxidants, both of which may be relevant to the pathophysiology of autism.
Early Downward Trends in Neurodevelopmental Disorders Following Removal of Thimerosal-Containing Vaccines (PDF)
The results indicate that the trends in newly diagnosed NDs correspond directly to the expansion and subsequent contraction of the cumulative mercury dose to which children were exposed from TCVs through the U.S. immunization schedule.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy May Improve Symptoms in Autistic Children (PDF)
It is hypothesized that HBOT therapy will improve symptoms in autistic individuals. A retrospective case series is presented that supports this hypothesis.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy might improve certain pathophysiological findings in autism (PDF)
It is expected that amelioration of these underlying pathophysiological problems through the use of HBOT will lead to improvements in autistic symptoms.
Hyperbaric treatment for children with autism: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial (PDF)
Children with autism who received hyperbaric treatment at 1.3 atm and 24% oxygen for 40 hourly sessions had significant improvements in overall functioning, receptive language, social interaction, eye contact, and sensory/cognitive awareness compared to children who received slightly pressurized room air.
