Help With Autism

ADVANCED PARENT TRAINING SESSION
AUTISM ONE 2008 CONFERENCE, MAY 21-25, 2008, CHICAGO, IL
www.autismone.org 

Friday, May 23rd from 1:45 – 6:00 pmHave you been to several biomedical autism conferences over the years?  Has your child been using biomedical interventions, diets, and supplements for a while?  Then join us for this new feature of Autism One and hear:

Sudhir Gupta, MD, PhD presents:
Contemporary Immunological View for the Pathogenesis of Autism

Autism is a multi-factorial and polygenic disorder in which immunological and metabolic factors appears to play a role in the pathology of the brain and the gut.  In this presentation Dr. Gupta will provide evidence and propose a role of determination of fates of CD4 T cells to explain the pathology in the brain and the gut of autistic children.  A role of oxidative stress in the cells of the immune system will also be discussed. 

Mary Megson, MD presents:
Medical Management of the Improving Autistic Child:  Does my child still need 25 supplements a day?

Experienced parents are very knowledgeable and have tried various biological interventions with their children with autism as they heal.  This talk will discuss treatment of those “almost off the spectrum” kids.  Many need support in long term management of their child’s ongoing biomedical treatment. 

Anju Usman, MD presents:
From Complexity to Simplicity:  Implementing the right protocols for your child with ASD

 Biomedical interventions have evolved over the past decade from B-6/Magnesium to options almost too numerous to count.  In our attempt to leave no stone unturned, some effective and non-invasive interventions may be overlooked.  We will discuss a few protocols that we have developed and refined over the years.  These protocols are individualized based on specific signs, symptoms, and laboratory biomarkers.  Protocols to be discussed will include those for:  strep/aluminum, glutamate/Ca+2, ammonia/biofilm, COMT ++, COMT–.

Jeff Bradstreet, MD presents:
Understanding the Core of the Gut-Brain Connection and How to Fix It in ASD

The automatic regulation of the gut largely requires a balance between two opposing sides of the nervous system: the sympathetic (fear, fight, and fight) and the parasympathetic (rest, focus and digest).  The rest and digest side uses acetylcholine as its main transmitter and the vagus nerve as the principle pathway. The vagus nerve simultaneously regulates motility, digestion, heart rate and speech (through the recurrent laryngeal nerve). Now we know it also provides anti-inflammatory signaling to the GI tract as well. It is likely the vagus nerve plays a central role in ASD symptoms and recovery.
 

HOPE IS ALWAYS REAL
RECOVERY IS HAPPENING
