Biomedical Autism Treatment and Intervention

Biomedical autism treatment recognizes that for the majority of autism spectrum children, teens and adults they are dealing with medical problems that are at the root of their core issues. Doctors, scientists, public health professionals, and even parents have known for years that autism biomedical treatment works for most individuals with autism. The biomedical autism treatments include diet, digestion treatment for yeast and bacteria, and the use of digestive enzymes, immune support, and more. The main areas of improvement often recognized, but not limited to, are the following:

    * Better cognitive skills - learning, memory retention, etc.
    * Improved social skills - interaction more appropriate, more willingness to engage in society.
    * Better eye contact, attention,focus improved.
    * Less aggression, tantrums, and irritability
    * Increased capacity for speech development
    * Increased environmental awareness
    * Less self-stimulation behavior

Traditional medicine for many years (and continue to do so even now) only describes autism as a neurodevelopmental disorder with no hope for recovery. Their limited scope of treatment involving medication and behavioral therapy will help some kids, but often does not get at the core issues creating the problems in autism. However, the biomedical autism field understands that autism is more than just a brain disorder. Autism is a multi-factorial condition that affects the brain.

Involved in this process are problems with digestion, immune function, hormones, detoxification and blood chemistry which all play an interactive role in many cases of autism. Imbalances, deficiencies and dysfunction in the normal functioning of body systems can adversely affect one's health and brain function - leading to what we call autism or an autism spectrum disorder.

When a person with autism is medically assessed, and their medical conditions treated by biomedical autism treatment, many times their condition greatly improves. Autism is treatable and even reversible.
