We will provide an overview of the major biomedical treatments that are supported by research, including special diets, nutritional supplements (vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids), dietary support (digestive enzymes, antifungals, antibiotics), chelation to remove toxic metals, and regulation of the immune system.
This presentation is based on a 28-page Summary of Biomedical Treatments, published in 2007 by the Autism Research Institute. It is available for free from http://autism.asu.edu. It is focused on biomedical treatments that are supported by scientific research. For each treatment, the presentation will review the research, discuss how to test if the treatment is needed, and discuss when and how to implement the treatment. The major topics include:

·         Improve Diet

·         Food Sensitivities

·         GFCF Diet

·         Vitamin/Mineral Supplements

·         High-Dose Vitamin B6 and Magnesium

·         Essential Fatty Acids

·         Gut Treatments (Antifungals, Probiotics, Digestive Enzymes)

·         Amino Acids

·         Melatonin

·         Thyroid Supplements

·         Sulfation

·         Glutathione

·         Chelation

·         Immune System Regulation


Learning Objectives:

  • Learn the research on biomedical abnormalities in autism and how to treat them
  • Learn how to implement special diets
  • Learn when and how to use nutritional supplements
  • Learn how to use dietary supports
  • Learn how to test for toxic metals, and how to remove them if necessary
