Research shows that many individuals with autism spectrum disorders have underlying issues that frequently go undiagnosed and can cause or exacerbate symptoms of autism. These problems include vitamin and mineral deficiencies, food allergies and sensitivities, chronic viruses, bacterial and fungal infections, chronic diarrhea or constipation, impaired immune function, heavy metal toxicity, neuro-inflammation and more. When these issues are addressed and resolved, the symptoms of autism can be dramatically reduced.
Numerous clinical studies have shown that individuals diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are predisposed to compromised immune systems. These important physical factors can lead to numerous complications that contribute to and even cause symptoms of autism. Some of the most common problems include the overgrowth of Candida and Clostridia, the inability to control environmental toxins, and the development of allergies.

4-Week Autism Course
Understanding Alternative Approaches to Autism
Educational 4-week course for parents and therapists with kids on the autistic spectrum.
BEGINS THURSDAY JULY 7, 2011!
Empower Yourself with the Knowledge, Tools & Training to Optimize your Child’s Care.
Don't let anyone tell you there is nothing you can do to help your child with autism... they are wrong! Many parents, frustrated with "traditional medicine" have implemented biomedical approaches for their children with autism.
As a DAN! practitioner and biomedical autism specialist, Tiffany Jackson, ND has been helping autistic children for over five years. Now, she brings that wealth of information, knowledge, and experience to parents though a 4-week autism course where parents can gain in-depth educational and instructional information, plus direct access to Tiffany Jackson, ND to get your personal questions answered.
The 4-Week EcoHealth Autism Course addresses the underlying problems autistic children have that aggravate or contribute to their autistic condition. Once the underlying issues are addressed, many autistic children dramatically reduce their symptoms.
This is a unique 4-week course directed by Tiffany Jackson, ND. It takes her 5 years of experience with alternative autism approaches and related disorders, (including ADHD, PDD, and Aspergers) and delivers these effective biomedical therapies and diagnostic tools to help parents care for their children.
This step-by-step, easy to follow course guides parents through the maze of biomedical approaches, including the gluten and casein-free diet, general supplement support, methyl-B12 therapy, yeast, bacteria and other metabolic and digestive imbalances commonly seen with individuals on the autism-spectrum. By following this course parents will be able to confidently begin their child on alternative therapies.
EcoHealth & Wellness's primary goal is to help parents within the autism community have the resources they need to make informed decisions about their child's health. The purpose of the 5-week course is to relay research, alternative therapies and nutritional information that many parents have found to be helpful for their children.
The course is located at Whole Foods Market (private conference room) in Mount Pleasant, SC. The lecture is given by Tiffany Jackson, ND.
