How Can We Reverse the Autism Epidemic?

Are you concerned?

The CDC announcement of 1 in 36 cases is appalling.

Why has there been an increase from 1 in 10000 in 1970 to 1 in 36 today?

Are we better at diagnosing it?

I don’t think so.

Has there been a major genetic shift?

I think not.

Each child’s autism is unique.

With my children, my son had regressed after a vaccination and my daughter was affected from my wife being sick with a virus during prgnanacy.

What caused you child’s regression or were they delayed from birth?

The majority of cases are regressive, so there must be some environmental factor(s) “turning on” autism.

What do you think?

Could it be environmental toxins? Herbicides, Pesticides, Heavy Metals, BPA, Phthalates

How about vaccines? Did your child regress after a vaccination?

What about infections? Did your child regress after having an ear infection?

What about medications? Did your child receive antibiotics or Tylenol during an illness?

How about diet? When you introduced any food like milk, did you notice a change?

There typically is something we can attribute this to and parents are the best detectives.

Let’s take the steps to reflect what may have been the trigger(s) for your child so we can start reversing this trend!
