Works to bring the most delayed side of the brain up to the functional level of the other side of the brain

Once the sides are functioning equally, both hemispheres can communicate and develop together

Without this therapy, over time the effects of the imbalance become more pronounced

Hemispheric Integration Therapy

3

Autism is a right brain delay Right brain delays manifest themselves in

various forms:◦ Severe and High Functioning Autism◦ Asperger’s Syndrome◦ Sensory Processing / Integration Disorder◦ Tourette’s Syndrome◦ Dyslexia◦ ADHD◦ OCD, etc.

Hemispheric Integration Therapy and Autism

4

The therapy usually results in a rapid recovery in steps

or stages

The patient must move through each step (without skipping any) on the road

to recovery

High Functioning AutismAsperger’s Syndrome

Sensory Processing DisorderTourette’s

Dyslexia

ADHD

OCD

Additional Developmental Delays

6

Many behavioral problems maybe due to developmental delaysin addition to metabolic imbalances

Metabolics & Brain DevelopmentImmature Brain = Immature Gut

Some Other Beneficiaries Of The Therapy Stroke patients Parkinson’s patients Traumatic brain injury patients Alzheimer’s patients

◦ Some of these patients can end up with their Primitive/Infantile Reflexes again

◦ Having them do the exercises to inhibit the reflexes, along with their therapies to heal the weak parts of their brains can be helpful

Founders: Dr. Robert Melillo and William Fowler

Each location has a nutritionist on staff and a corporate nutritionist

One compounding company for all locations who designs a child specific supplemental program

Nutrition side is similar to the DAN! Protocol, but does not test for a few other possibly necessary items

Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt is an excellent point of contact for Lyme/Autism◦ He has Lyme

Naturopathic Borrelia Burgdorferi and co-infections Toxic secretions from bacteria makes Lyme

patients sick Chronic Lyme is not usually cured but can

be forced to go into dormancy after killing off many spirochetes

Connection Between Autism, Lyme Disease and Fibromyalgia

10

Fibromyalgia◦ Inability to flush out phosphates◦ Guaifenesin helps with pain from phosphates

tremendously AND eases seasonal allergy reactions, if already on it when the time comes

◦ Mucinex or Maximum Strength Mucinex (12 hour dose), which has ONLY Guaifenesin in it

◦ Prescription Guaifenesin has no dyes

The Lord’s leading and intervention

DAN! Protocol for metabolics w/ Aminos and low oxalates

OSR for Glutathione/metals

Yeast and aggressive die-off control

What Has Worked For Jacob

Brain Balance Program / Hemispheric Integ. Therapy

Detox!!!

Toxic Metals moving AND flush

Heavy work at home and determination to win

12

We are in the process of implementing the Lyme protocol and other items to balance out a few remaining metabolic issues

We are waiting and working through his remaining frontal lobe delays, which are among the last parts of the brain to develop◦ The remaining issues are very, very small now

and barely noticable.

What We Are Currently Working On For Jacob

13

Our plan of action for Jacob, plus treatment of possible Lyme and co-infections, demonstrates a complete picture of what can bring full or partial recovery to patients on the Autism spectrum or those with left brain delays

◦ With other patients there may be a few lingering issues that require additional therapies, whether traditional or alternative medicine

GoalsSpreading The Word

Proving Theories

DAN! Pediatricians Primary Care Physicians Therapy centers for children & adults

◦ OTs, PTs, Sensory Coaches, ABA Therapists Behavioral Therapists, Psychiatrists and Psychologists Neurologists Brain Balance centers Autism centers Fibromyalgia doctors Nutritionists Hospitals Individualized Education Program - IEPs College & master program professors & students Caregiver/babysitters for special needs

◦ www.care.com Various Autism/Asperger’s connection organizations

Spreading The Word

16

Autism clinics need to include nutrition into their overall programs and incorporate all the sensory, OT, PT, academics, timing and rhythm with the Interactive Metronome, etc. into a one hour session three times a week – Reflex exercises should be done separately, 3x day, 7 days per week, and can be done outside the clinic

Convince Pediatricians to test Glutathione levels prior to immunizing◦ Convince them to use a slower immunization schedule and not start until

child is older No shots for newborns in hospitals No flu shots, period! Especially if Glutathione level is low Interactive Metronome is key Help Brain Balance to incorporate the treatment of Lyme and

detox of metals and yeast with Dr. Klinghardt’s method

Spreading The Word (cont.)

17

Do mothers of children on the Autism Spectrum, (or other developmental delays), who have Fibromyalgia, also have Lyme and metal toxicity?

Do these mothers have Spasmodic Dysphonia or Spasmodic Dystonia?

Do these mothers have Osteoporosis in their family or MS? (and Fibromyalgia with it)

Can we test a panel of mothers to prove a connection?

PhenolsNight Terrors and Frontal Lobe SeizuresYeastActivities at Home

PhenolsHeadaches resulting in head bangingAnger/violenceItchingSleep disturbances

20

Phenol Control This needs to be one of the first issues to

address Take phenolic enzyme ten minutes prior to

consumption Lower the overall phenol intake No high phenol foods at dinner or later Cut back on fruit juice intake Enzyme may not help with apple juice or

grapes

21

These are signs of an immature brain

The brain matures through Continued work to develop hemispheric

equilibrium Natural brain development with age

Night Terrors and Frontal Lobe Seizures…

22

If killing yeast, make sure there is a good plan in place for detox of die-off

Killing yeast at the same time as giving higher oxalate foods can cause issues with oxalates◦ A few of the reactions can be foot pain, mutism,

constant hunger, sleep disturbances, anger and misbehavior

Killing Yeast Overgrowth

23

Right brain delay◦ Recreational activities and schooling should

mostly be geared toward right brain learning

Left brain delay◦ Recreational activities and schooling should

mostly be geared toward left brain learning

24

Activities At Home Geared Toward Weak Side Of The Brain

Q & ACan you help me spread the word?

Can we work to open more Brain Balance Achievement Centers for children and a Hemispheric Integration Therapy clinic for adults?

Can we find someone to do the test panel to prove theories?
