Children are healing from autism

 

The greatest "autism awareness" is the reality that improved health and well being is possible as biomedical interventions are being applied as a complement to traditional therapies. The Generation Rescue website has encouraging recovery stories, as does Autism Research Institute. Jenny McCarthy's book, Mother Warriors, is a testiment for hope comprising touching personal accounts of what is possible for many children.

According to leading experts and parents, the process of healing children with autism begins with diet. Success in applying nutritional intervention is crucial. Since parents are the greatest influence on their child's potential, being fully empowered when applying healing diets will help ensure safe and effective implementation.

Q: What is Diet?
A: Strategic omissions and additions to food choices - focused on improved health and healing.
