Autism is treatable, recovery is possible!

Successful Recovery Begins With Diet...

...are you nourishing hope?

Greetings fellow parents,

As a mom to a child with autism, I’m relieved to know that autism is treatable!

Now is the time to be hopeful as children around the globe are recovering from autism while biomedical treatments are being applied as a complement to traditional therapies. The Generation Rescue website has amazing recovery stories, as does Autism Research Institute.

The area of biomedical intervention is one of the most promising approaches we, as parents, have to bring wellness to our children. According to leading experts and parents, autism recovery begins with diet. Success in applying nutritional intervention is crucial to the overall healing of our children - parents need to be fully empowered.
