Breaking through Autism Program
Price: $510 (includes 5 naturopathic consultations)
Program Includes:
Optimization of Digestive Health - Biomedical treatment emphasizes the gut-brain connection and places strong emphasis in the importance of re-creating the balance of good microbes in the digestive tract. This is most commonly achieved by rotating through different strains of probiotics to improve the overall gut micro biome amongst other naturopathic therapies.
Identification and Elimination of Food Sensitivities - Identification of food sensitivities and elimination of offending foods is often amongst the most powerful treatments used in the treatment of ASD's. Also a critical component is gastrointestinal healing where the digestive system is able to better absorb nutrients to ultimately provide the fuel for the body to run optimally.
Immune System Support - It is common to detect fungal infections and/or parasitic infections which can contribute to the severity of autistic presentation. By eradicating any infection, the immune system will be rebalanced.
Nutrient Supplementation with Top-quality Nutraceuticals - Individuals with an ASD diagnosis often have increased requirements for several basic, essential vitamins and minerals. Without supplementation, many key biological processes are slowed or blocked. Delivering appropriate doses of key nutrients and nutritional cofactors restores appropriate or near appropriate function to dozens of key enzyme systems within he body. Methylcobalamin injections (vitamin B12) and other methylation support will also be integrated into treatment.
Support Detoxification of Environmental and Heavy Metal Burden - Assessment and treatment targeting elimination of any toxic burden will achieve highly significant improvement to symptoms when elevated toxic burden is present.
How Will Your Child Benefit? (individual achievements will vary)
- Increase in vocabulary, language complexity and enhanced receptive, expressive and spontaneous language development

- Augmented digestive, immune and skin health as well as ritual sleep patterns
- Improvements in focus, impulsivity and attention
- Increased tolerance to touch

- Vitamin D spot test
- Neurotransmitter levels
- Hormone levels (saliva or blood)
- Blood tests (CBC, celiac panel, vitamin A, D, B12, MMA, plasma zinc, serum copper, ferritin, thyroid, liver and kidney function tests, cholesterol and essential fatty acids as well as immune markers)
Appointment Structure:
Due to the varying degrees of severity & unique experiences of ASD, appointment structure may vary.
- Initial appointment includes: Evaluation of previous and current health status (including a full family history), indicated physical exam, and recommendations of specialized testing is prescribed. Specific dietary and lifestyle interventions are implemented to establish the foundation of treatment as well as natural medical supplement regime catered to the individual's experience of ASD.

Important Note:
It is important to note that early intervention will yield the most dramatic improvement.

IN order to maximize your child's social, psychological and emotional development, it is strongly encouraged that he/she start treatment as soon as possible.

- Individuals who are currently undergoing chemotherapy or radiation and would like to receive natural adjunctive care to alleviate side effects, optimize the body’s health in order to get through treatment without interruption while decreasing the severity of side-effects. Additionally, adjunctive naturopathic treatments have been shown to increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy, chemotherapeutic agents and radiation.
The Philosophy of Naturopathic Adjunctive Cancer Care:
- The body has an innate gift for healing itself. It must be properly nourished, kept clean, and supported to do its job. Naturopathic Medicines apply strategies that respect the nature of the human being.
- Naturopathic Medicine is evidence-based and tailored to the individual patient.
- When a naturopathic treatment plan is created for a specific individual patient, a thorough and diligent consideration and study of all and any interactions of naturopathic treatments with conventional treatments are considered and avoided.
- Safety of naturopathic treatment is always assessed and viewed as the utmost and foremost priority when creating a treatment plan for the individual.
The goals, from a Naturopathic perspective:
- To support and nourish the patient to fight the disease.
- Achieving clinical stability with good quality of life may be possible and varies based on the individual’s specific case.
- Achieving life extension may be possible and varies based the individual’s specific case.
Primary Naturopathic Strategies Included in the Program:
1) Improve the terrain (the internal biochemical milieu) to support normal cell division, primarily by improving nutrition, decreasing oxidative stress, decreasing inflammation, regulating insulin-like growth factor, IGF-1, which is commonly overexpressed in many cancers, regulating and supporting healthy blood coagulation parameters, immunity and stress hormones.
2) Support differentiation of cells back to their normal function.
3) Remove promoters-environmental toxins, dietary hazards, and toxic emotional stressors. Apply physical, dietary and mental hygiene principles to create a safer lifestyle.
4) Optimize the detoxification pathways to reduce the toxic burden on the body.
5) Support the body in its ability to stop mutation, stabilize the DNA genome and repair DNA.
6) Decrease invasion and metastasis.
7) Enhance cell-to-cell communication.
8) Support apoptosis-the off-switch for bad cells- a built-in cellular program for natural removal of cells with unhealthy DNA, or cells that are no longer needed.
9) Supporting the burning of sugars by oxygen in the mitochondria, to restore the off-switch in cancer cells.
10) Control inflammation and its growth factor that speed progression
11) Use synergies of evidence-based natural therapies to promote cancer cell death.
12) Target specific growth factors and their receptors with natural medicines.
13) Support balanced immune function, including removal of toxic fungi and parasites, control viral replication, restore the good flora and fauna of the gut.
14) Promote the inhibition of invasion.
15) Promote the cessation of metastasis or spread to distant sites.
16) Promote the cessation of blood vessel growth into tumors and cancer cell clusters.
17) Reduce side-effects and symptoms of the disease and treatment.
18) Detoxification from chemo drugs and other harsh medications after treatment.
19) Rejuvenation-restore real health and vitality.
20) Prevention of re-occurrence or new cancers or other chronic disease.
