Dr. Janet Lintala, founder of the Autism Health center and an autism mom herself, shares the science behind the non-prescription protocols used in her practice to dramatically improve the function and well-being of autistic children and adults.Children and adults on the spectrum are more prone to constipation and diarrhea, acid reflux, gastrointestinal infections and imbalances, brain inflammation, immune problems, disrupted sleep patterns and difficult behaviors. Well-meaning doctors target these symptoms with prescription medications, kind of like a matching game. Dr. Lintala has nothing against using medications appropriately. The problem is, the medications are used to suppress symptoms (constipation, poor sleep patterns and difficult behaviors) without correcting or supporting the underlying medical problems that are causing them. These medications often have side effects such as constipation that make the original problems even worse.  When that happens, the dose is increased until what the author calls finding the "shut-up" dose.  Again, the underlying problems are unaddressed, left to simmer beneath the surface for years until they develop into chronic illnesses. Supporting these overlooked conditions appropriately can bring transformative results.No more:·constipation·diarrhea·acid reflux·aggression·irritability·night awakenings ·catching every cold coming and goingBetter:·thinking·mood·sleep·language (for some)·learningDrawing on the latest research developments, as well as personal and clinical experience, Dr. Lintala targets the underlying issues with simple, step-by-step protocols for families everywhere. Any age-children, teens, and adults-can benefit.The Un-Prescription for Autism provides hundreds of research citations, clear explanations, detailed protocols, and stories from her clinic to help parents act quickly to restore their child's health, self-control, and language--paving the way for reaching their full potential.
