Healing Retreat is just a week - June 3-5, 2011
When It Comes to Autism, Solutions, (Not Just Studies) Are Available
A new study says 32 million children in this country are affected by chronic illnesses including autism and ADD.Link to study: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1876285910002500
The study concludes that more specialists and better health care access are the answers. But what if the answers lie in thinking about the problem in a new way? What if we used good science, evidence-based medicine, and some common sense to examine the underlying issues that may hold the key to not only the problem, but to the solutions?
At Your Healing Retreat, four of the most experienced medical doctors will be speaking to clinicians and parents on effective ways to prevent and improve the health and behavior of children affected by autism and ADD. Check out www.YourHealingRetreat.com
These seasoned physicians will address the fact that there is a growing subset of children that cannot handle the 87,000 chemicals in wide spread use. They will also discuss the consequences of children consuming food with little or no nutritional value (the typical American diet). Finally and most importantly they will offer solutions and practical advice to clinicians and parents who are in the trenches trying to help these children.
The numbers of children affected by autism and ADD have been growing steadily and are now astronomical. These are preventable and although it can be exhausting work, kids can improve and even recover from these disorders. Your Healing Retreat will provide pediatricians, nurse practitioners, physician's assistants, RNs, therapists and parents with the knowledge and practical tools needed to address the startling statistics revealed in this new study.
It's time to turn this ship around!!! PLEASE consider attending Your Healing Retreat and tell clinicians to attend so that they can learn the real reasons our kids are sick and more importantly how to help them get better.
