Conditions Treated by Naturopathic Medicine

Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorders treated using Naturopathic Medicine.

Autism Spectrum Disorders

One of our specialties at Revolutions Natural Medical Solutions is working with individuals and families with children affected by neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism, Asperger´s, PDD-NOS (pervasive developmental disorder), ADD/ADHD, language and learning disorders.

With the current rising tide in children and families being affected by neurodevelopmental disorders, parents are searching for answers. As confusing and contradictory as available information often is, there is hope, as more and more children are progressing and even recovering utilizing biomedical treatments (see below). It was through the journey his family traveled in their attempts in helping their son diagnosed with autism that Dr. Morgan began implementing these modalities. These treatments are centered on dietary modification, nutritional supplementation, environmental controls, assisting detoxification and medications that when combined with behavioral therapies have shown significant benefits in many children.

What are Autism Spectrum Disorders?

“A complex syndrome based on physiological and biochemical disorders that have as a common end-point the cognitive and emotional impairment we associate with autism.” Jaquelyn McCandless, MD

“[Autism] is merely one symptom of an underlying disease process that affects the immunological system, the gastrointestinal system, and the toxicological system, as well as the neurological system.” Bryan Jepson, MD

Biomedical Treatment Approach

The biomedical approach is based on a philosophy that pays careful attention to the unique symptoms, history, and physical examinations of each child. The process offers various options for treatment that are aimed at alleviating the problems causing symptoms, rather than attempting to suppress symptoms through the use of medications.

Information alone is not what helps our children. You as parents need to feel inspired and supported. That is why at Revolutions Natural Medical Center we take a team approach utilizing various biomedical treatments built on mutual trust and equal involvement from all parties. This model of treating autism is totally unique because parents become partners with Dr. Morgan.

Biomedical treatment combines mainstream or conventional medicine with nutritional and alternative medicine. Results commonly seen with biomedical treatment:

• Healthier children with improved immune function with fewer acute illnesses, infections and allergies.
• Healthier digestive system, with less constipation and diarrhea, resolvement of abdominal pain, increased appetite and expanded, nutrient dense food choices.
• Improvement in social interaction with family and peers, including more eye contact, initiation and expanded speech along with improved behavior.

For children with autistic spectrum disorders, biomedical treatment works best when combined with behavioral interventions, such as ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis), speech and language therapy, occupational and physical therapy.
