Behavioral Issues

There is an ever increasing prevalence of people being diagnosed with behavioral disorders such as Attention Deficit Disorder, Hyperactivity and Autism, with experts estimating that 1 out of every 160 children would qualify to fall somewhere within the behavioral spectrum.

Whilst the number of children being BORN with these conditions hasnt risen alot, the number of children being diagnosed after 18mnths is growing at a rapid rate. This suggests that as opposed to genetics playing a role (as genetics alone would be expressed right from birth), factors in the child's environment and/or diet are majorly contributing to the expression of these symptoms. The new biomedical approach to the Behavioral Spectrum identifies and addresses these 'external' factors with each patient having a completely different set of symptoms and causes.

We have experience in working with people who fall under the behavioral spectrum, and know that there could never be one single 'fix all'.  When talking about mood and  behavioral disorders, there is a myriad of factors that can contribute to a persons' overall health, including toxicity, heavy metals, parasites, allergies and intolerances to foods and/or the environment, and nutritional deficiencies and imbalances to name a few.

The programs we devise to treat these issues are as individual as the person who has them, and whilst the core of our treatments revolve around Nutrition and Naturopathy, we also frequently employ other modalities in order to acheive the best possible outcome including NAET Allergy Elimination, Heavy Metal Chelation and Detoxification.

The treatment of Behavioral Spectrum Disorders:

The following are some of the abnormalities seen after pathology testing:

• Central Nervous System Problems

• Abnormal Neurotransmitter Functions

• Immune System Problems

• Gastrointestinal Problems such as Inflammation and Pathogens

• Reduced Ability to detoxify

• Nutritional Deficiencies

• Folic Acid processing abnormalities

Therapeutic Treatment Priorities:

• Improve Food Digestion

• Clean up the Diet (decrease refined starches and Carbohydrates, increase Essential Fatty Acids   and Vegetables)

• Regulate Neurotransmitters

• Trial avoidance of Dairy and Gluten

• Supplement Nutritional Deficiencies

• Treat Bacterial and/or Yeast overgrowth in Gastrointestinal Tract

• Improve Immunity

• Chelate/Eliminate Heavy Metal Overload

Every treatment program is as individual as our patients are.  Where necessary, we employ the use of Pathology Testing in order to gather the most accurate picture possible. Some of these may include:

• Organic Acids Testing

• Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis

• Fatty Acids Analysis

• Hair Mineral Analysis

• Kryptopyrroles

• Functional Liver Detoxification Profile
