Biomedical Evaluation and Treatment of Autistic children
Today evidence-based medicine shows that:
- Autism is a medical disease, not a psychological disorder.
- Autism affects other body organ systems besides the brain.
- Autism is Treatable; Children Are Recovering
From Dr. Bryan Jepson's book "Changing the Course of Autism"
"Biomedical treatments help the majority of children with autism, particularly if started early. The cornerstones of this treatment are dietary changes, supplementation and detoxification. Addressing medical issues and pursuing therapies simultaneously offers autistic children the best long-term outcome."
Has your child recently been diagnosed with autism?
If so, you have probably combed every corner of the internet, literature and magazines for information about autism and available treatments. While medical science has so far not discovered a cure for this complex disease, there are fortunately many things you can do to halt its progression and in some cases even reverse its course. Until recently autism was considered to be a genetic disorder which caused a life-long developmental disability. That is changing. Today scientists realize that in most cases it is a complex interaction between genes and the environment. Understanding this is critical to treating your child.
