 Mothering Magazine Presents Special Autism Edition
With a US autism rate of 1 in 166 children, Mothering reports on hopeful treatments that work.
Autism has been proclaimed an incurable disease. But many families have found hope and healing with a variety of methods, from vitamin supplementation to boosting the immune system.
Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona shares a concise round up of everything from vitamin and nutritional therapies to an alternative form of applied behavioral analysis in "Successful Treatments for Autism." "The Hope of Homeopathy" by Amy Lansky and "The Promise of Chelation" by Sarah Bridges explore in-depth two of the most popular treatments for autism.
Amy Lansky first heard about homeopathy in the pages of Mothering and she intuitively knew that the healing art could help her son Max. After a series of several remedies, the symptoms of Max’s autism entirely disappeared. Lansky was so astounded by her son’s transformation that she gave up her career as a computer scientist to become a homeopath herself. She went on to write about her experience in Impossible Cure, one of the top-selling books in the US on homeopathy.
Sarah Bridges shares additional compelling stories of recovery, these via chelation, a treatment that cleanses the body and brain of mercury and other heavy metals. Bridges discusses the elements of successful, responsible treatment, including vitamin supplementation, lab testing, and finding a good healthcare provider willing to perform the procedure. Most of the practitioners featured in Bridge’s article are affiliated with Defeat Autism Now! (DAN!), an initiative of the Austism Research Institute.
We hope these articles inspire and inform everyone, but especially those families courageously facing the challenge of autism. We dedicate this issue to them.
