Autism
At Northampton Wellness Associates, we help patients and their families find the safest and most effective treatments for chronic illness. Over the years, we have seen and helped many patients with autistic spectrum disorders, using a combination of innovative and complementary treatment approaches. The positive results are often dramatic!
Autism is definitely treatable. We have been encouraged by past successes, but we are continually expanding our range of services as the medical literature provides more useful treatment information.
We provide a wide range of diagnostic services to uncover problems relating to digestive disorders, heavy metal toxicity, food allergies and sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, metabolic disorders, and neurotransmitter abnormalities.
We often recommend special diets (for food allergies and sensitivities to gluten and/or dairy products), specific nutrient and enzyme supplements, treatment for intestinal flora imbalances and infections, and detoxification of heavy metals (particularly mercury and lead). Just as important, we help our patients and their families put these interventions into practice. We provide a high level of support for them in making changes to daily habits.
