This is an interesting site I found relating to Special education law with a section on Autism. I used the link below to take you to the site and this particular post which I thought was eye opening. This type of information is always beneficial to share. We all have experiences that we may have learned from that could help someone else that hasn’t been there yet.

A patient of ours that has nothing to do with the Autism community sent me this today because he has seen been in the office when some of the kids are being treated and asked about what we do and how it all works. He is a missionary and is a man with a good heart. If you haven’t seen this, it’s powerful. We need to put it in context adding the last 4 years of information but it’s still an impressive video. I do not think that mercury is the sole cause of autism but certainly it has to be considered a factor in any discussion regarding possible causes. Here is the link from the Mercola site that my patient sent me http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/07/18/Robert-F-Kennedy-Jr-Explains-the-Autism-Coverup.aspx

I just got home from our summer conference here in Tampa. Everyone I talked to said they got a lot of information. I spoke regarding Hemispheric Integration Therapy as well as Functional Medicine with regard to Biomedical Interventions for the Autism Spectrum. Dr Knaus gave us some backround on himself as well as gave us some information regarding HBOT. Nancy Bentley informed us with regards to fermented foods and a diet which promotes digestive and general health. Suzanne Azizi ( I am a mother first) provided a passionate and inspiring story about her daughter and dealing with the educational system, IEPs and the law. The faciliies at the Children’s Board were excellent. Everyone seemed to have a good time a well as came away with some good information and it was free to all. So, I am happy with our first conference. Look for our next one!!
