Autism and ADHD

As a parent, you know something changed about your child, something that you may not be able to pinpoint exactly, but you just know is there.  Your little one was growing and developing just fine but over a short time, the trajectory altered course.  Language changed. Behavior changed. Sleep changed. Attention changed.  Moods changed.

You want your child back and you want to know that they are headed towards a productive and enjoyable life.

Sanctuary helps you find not only the answers to why your child changed, but how to alter that trajectory towards the desired future.  By identifying root causes like toxins, infections, food reactions, and metabolic dysfunctions, combined with proper therapy, your child can move towards a healthier more abundant life again.

ANSWERS TO Autism and ADHD

Conventional medicine on the surface offers minimal hope to children suffering from autism spectrum disorders, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or other development issues.  Various therapies with their sessions of retraining provide some benefits but not an answer for the root problem.  Real benefits arise out of identifying the triggers which changed the course of the child’s neurologic function.

From the moment of conception, the child’s brain grows rapidly, making new connections between nerve cells, enabling new abilities to develop and new knowledge to accumulate over years.  Various environmental insults sometimes combine with genetic susceptibilities to hinder or slow this normal process.  Staring in the womb, babies encounter various toxins and infections from their mother’s own health story.  Mercury or synthetic organic toxins may pass into the baby.  Latent viruses may directly affect a baby or indirectly affect through the immune responses impact on neurological development.

Once out in the world outside mom, the small body and brain encounters various toxins in air, on skin, and through ingestion.  Sometimes, one trigger rises to a level that it alone can cause symptoms.  At other times, the combination of multiple toxins is necessary to trigger the “change” noted by parents.

MORE Than One Root Cause

This multiplicity of root causes, both in terms of there being many different triggers for autism and ADHD and any given child having a combination of triggers, gives conventional medicine fits.  Conventional medicine wants single causes for single diseases, but in reality autism is a set of spectrum disorders with different sets of triggers in different children.  The same can be said for ADHD.

In one child, gluten reactions in a leaky gut may combine with the immune stimulation of a food dye to trigger either their unusual behavior or their cognitive issues.  In another child, gluten has no effect, but a neighbor’s pesticide plus a standard American diet may create the conditions conducive to dysfunction.

SOLUTIONS

By identifying the root causes, more can be done than just therapy.  By working to remove the triggers for brain inflammation and augmenting the body’s ability to heal, new changes emerge.  The progress of development can move upward.  The mood swings and unexplained fits level out.  Your child can see a better future ahead than just countless hours of therapy.  The therapy becomes a part of restoring function rather than just a means to control symptoms, thus aiming at a time when your child no longer needs the therapy.
