Yes for Some Children with Autism, it is Curable.

As a practicing DAN (Defeat
Autism Now) doctor, I have had the pleasure of witnessing these recoveries
first hand. I have even had the pleasure
of going on KCAL 9 News with my recovered patients.  

We utilize a number of different
biomedical treatments some based on biomedical research, and some based on
common sense, to help these patients. For example, methylation is a biomedical
reaction that has been found by Jill James PhD to be dysfunctional in
autism. ? Methylation is needed to turn on
and off genetic material. Since we know
there is a genetic susceptibility coming into play with autism, we want to try
to naturally influence their genetic makeup, by methylating them. One of the most effective methods we have
found to methylate this kids is methylB12 shots given subcutaneously every 2-3
days. With no risk of toxicity to this
treatment, thousands of children have improved significantly to the point of
recovery. ?

A John’s Hopkins study done in
2005 by Dr. Vargas, on autistic brains (from children who had died for
unfortunate reasons), demonstrated that there is inflammation in the brain of
autistic children. So what reduces inflammation? Nutrients, including
antioxidants. What we do in my office,
is extensive biomedical testing to evaluate nutrient and antioxidant status of
the child, then seek to correct any deficiencies. This approach is termed megavitamin therapy,
and it works.   These children indeed have
“starving brains”, which this therapy seeks to correct.

I truly wish this DAN or
biomedical approach helped every child with autism, but it does not. The best of DAN doctors and researchers are
tirelessly searching for biomarkers to help us determine which children will
benefit best from which therapies we have available. In the meantime, every child that walks into
my office, the approach is pretty much the same, try everything to see which
treatment works.

The government’s role in
sponsoring biomedical research is desperately needed in order to provide these
therapies to every child, if they are found to be beneficial.
