Autistic children may have more health problems


1 in 152 school aged children are now being diagnosed with autism. This does not include those with less intense, yet still related disorders such as ADD, ADHD, PDD or Asperger's Syndrome.


Children with autism are very sick and in pain. They suffer from a number of digestive problems, chemical toxicity, metal toxicity, viral, bacterial and parasitic overloads, auto-immune problems, etc.
Many studies have implicated the role of vaccines in general, and certain vaccines such as the MMR, in particular as contributors to autism. Additionally, there has been a great deal of evidence that environmental toxins may be contributing in a large way to some children's autism.
Autism truly is a multi-factorial problem, not a mental disease. Dr. Andrew Wakefield, MD, described autism as "a primary gut disorder with secondary brain symptoms." This has been consistent with what we see as we have focused on many of the problems of the digestive tract with "our" kids. In other words, what happens in their gut affects their behaviors in many ways. Natural health and healing modalities have long focused on the health of the colon as paramount to good health.

Autism is a complex biomedical condition, not a psychiatric, psychological or developmental flaw. Homeopathy Center of Houston's homeopaths have combined many different homeopathic approaches to address the many physical and emotional issues behind autism and autistic spectrum disorders. We work with homeopathic remedies, and a very small number of herbal remedies, instead of drugs, for detoxification and healing of the symptoms of and causes behind autism. Our results are speaking for themselves.
Literally. Our children detoxify, eliminate, release, one layer at a time, as we work backward through their individual histories.
