Autism
There is an estimated 1 to 1.5 million Autistic individuals in the United
States. With an annual growth rate of 11-16%, and a 172%
increase from the 1990’s, Autism is the fastest growing developmental
disability in this country. The
condition effects communication and social interactions and is the effect of
neurological dysfunction. Autism is a
spectrum disorder, with varying degrees of impact and is the most common of
the Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD).
Other disorders in this spectrum range include; Asperger's Syndrome, Rett's
Disorder, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder and Not Otherwise Specified
Pervasive Development Disorder. Autism usually emerges during the first three years
of life and is a complex developmental disability that affects the
communication and interaction with others. Autism is a neurological disorder
that greatly impairs language and social skills, and results in developmental
disorders as well as behaviors that are repetitious in nature. Causes of Autism Autism is thought to be caused by multiple factors
including genetic factors, viral, chemical, or other environmental exposure,
although definitive causes are still unknown at this time. With this condition, abnormalities occur
in numerous areas of the brain, including the cerebellum, amygdala, hippocampus,
septum, and mamillary bodies.
Research has found that abnormal nerve fibers, underdeveloped neurons,
and irregular serotonin levels have been found in people with Autism. Some medical professionals claim
that the Autism is caused by a state of hypoxia, or lack of oxygen to areas
of the brain. Others state that the
condition was due to a high fever or infection, trauma during birth, mineral
or other nutritional deficiencies, vaccination reactions, mercury poisoning,
chemical exposures, or abnormal blood flow in the brain. While there is currently no cure
for Autism, researchers are investigating new and revolutionary means of
treating the condition with promising results. Autism Treatment
We utilize integrative and complementary medicine to treat
the patient as a whole rather than on a symptom-by-symptom basis. Rather than just giving you the tools to
simply cope with the condition, we focus on improving the person’s condition
and quality of life through cutting edge, non-invasive medical therapies. We
have seen great success in our Autistic patients using the following
therapies:
Hyperbaric Therapy for Autism Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)
has been utilized in the treatment of Autism in many countries worldwide.
This therapy increases the oxygen concentration in fluids and tissues,
including the brain where concentrated oxygen has been shown to awaken
dormant brain cells and stimulate normal function. The use of HBOT has also demonstrated the reduction of
inflammation and excess fluid on the brain, which may assist in enhanced
brain function if the inflammation and fluid is pushing on other areas of the
brain. Greater amounts of blood and oxygen begin to
stimulate cerebral tissues and aid in recovery of idling neurons. HBOT also reduces excess fluids and
swelling of brain tissues which aid in neurological function and a less
confused state in Autistics. Hyperbaric is also used as a complementary therapy for the treatment of heavy metal detox for such materials as mercury. Hyperbaric assists in the metabolism of heavy metal removal. It can help a patient counteract the effects of heavy metal poisoning and helps body deal with toxins even as noxious as cyanide. It is often used in conjunction with chelation and other detox procedures to help support the body to deal with the impact commonly seen in the removal of heavy metals, mercury, toxins, and other contaminants. We have seen the following improvements in our Autism
patients:
Medical evaluations are made pre
and post treatment. Improvements are validated through Spect Scan
imaging. HBOT generates new blood vessels and improves
circulation to damaged areas of the brain.
The hyperbaric chamber pressurizes to force oxygen into the blood
stream and tissues of the body, resulting in a greater absorption of
oxygen. This high oxygen absorption
does not occur when breathing oxygen in normal atmospheric pressure. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
is the most effective means to increase the oxygen supply and is considered a
safe and promising treatment for stroke patients. Patients lay comfortably in an oxygen rich chamber under a
slight pressurization, which assists in the absorption of oxygen. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is
utilized in the treatment of stroke and severe brain injured patients and
research has proven its safety and effectiveness for these conditions dating
back to 1965. Testimonials
