ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders), CFIDS (Chronic FatigueSyndromes), ADD/ADHD
(Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder), PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder) as well as links to other immune diseases.
The premise of the treatment is that the body reduces blood flow to specific
areas of the brain (temporal lobes) when the immune system is not functioning normally. The impaired blood flow
decreases neurological and developmental functions resulting in any combination is a medical treatment approach for individuals
who have NIDS(Neuro Immune Dysfunction Syndromes) that results in symptoms commonly associated with ASD of symptoms
commonly observed in Autism, particularly in young children such as:
-
loss of social skills
-
decrease in auditory processing
-
decrease or loss of language
- repetitive behaviors
- loss of eye contact
-
headaches
-
lack of focus

-
inappropriate behaviors
-
food and chemical sensitivities
-

The medical approach consists of diet, pharmaceutical and rehabilitation therapies.
The choice of medications varies from patient to patient and is based upon history, physical, and analysis of medical
tests. Therapy can last from one to four years, although some patients may require maintenance therapy.
