1 in 150 children are now diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The Nardella Clinic offers comprehensive biomedical and naturopathic treatment for children and adults with this complex, chronic disease. Autism is a whole body disorder with specific characteristics. However, every individual with Autism has different specific requirements for support and achieving results. Comprehensive treatment of Autism by a naturopathic doctor involves addressing underlying processes in the body that are responsible for the symptoms of Autism. This includes:
- Increased oxidative stress
- Digestive disturbances
- Neurological inflammation
- Brain hypoperfusion
- Neurotransmitter imbalances affecting mood, learning, speech and sleep
- Immune dysregulation and allergies
Treatments that address these underlying causes include:
- Nutrition and specific therapeutic diets,
- Balancing and supporting neurotransmitters,
- Supporting the immune system,
- Identifying and treating allergies,
- Treating digestive issues,
- Neurological support,
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy,
- Detoxification and chelation therapy,
- Specific vitamins, minerals and antioxidants
Supporting the body and treating these imbalances has a profound effect on behavior and learning. Autism is a treatable disease when these treatments are used in conjunction with traditional treatments and therapies.
