Our Biomedical Methods

How We Treat ASD/Autism

Focus on Underlying Causes

Biomedical treatments aim to address potential underlying biological imbalances or deficiencies, such as nutritional deficiencies, gut health issues, or metabolic problems. This approach can lead to a more natural and holistic form of treatment, rather than just managing symptoms.

Fewer Side Effects

Pharmaceutical drugs, especially those used to manage symptoms of ASD (such as antipsychotics, stimulants, or antidepressants), can have significant side effects, including weight gain, drowsiness, or increased risk of other health conditions. Biomedical treatments, such as dietary changes or nutritional supplements, generally have fewer and less severe side effects.

Individualized Approach

Biomedical treatments are often tailored to the individual needs of the person with ASD, based on their specific biological markers, lab tests, or health history. This personalized approach contrasts with the more one-size-fits-all approach of pharmaceuticals, which might not be as precisely targeted.

Long-Term Benefits

By addressing root causes, biomedical treatments can potentially offer long-term benefits, rather than just temporary symptom relief. For example, improving gut health or correcting a vitamin deficiency may lead to sustained improvements in overall health and potentially some symptoms of ASD.

Non-Invasive

Many biomedical treatments, such as dietary adjustments, nutritional supplementation, and lifestyle changes, are non-invasive compared to pharmaceutical interventions. This can be particularly appealing for parents or caregivers concerned about the impact of long-term medication use on a child's development.

Support for Overall Health

Biomedical approaches often promote overall health and well-being. For instance, improving diet, ensuring adequate sleep, and addressing any environmental factors can have positive effects beyond just the symptoms of ASD, potentially improving overall quality of life.

Natural Substances

Many biomedical treatments use natural substances like vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbs. These are generally perceived as safer because they are naturally occurring in the body or the diet, and thus may be less likely to cause harm when used appropriately.
