 Biomedical treatment of neurological issues in children starts with a complete history and physical exam, which can give us clues as to the underlying causes of the child’s symptoms. Then, a complete medical work-up is ordered, that looks at blood, urine, stool, and sometimes hair samples to test for abnormalities in the child’s nutritional status, immune system, gastrointestinal system, and even DNA. These tests show issues that may be causing unusual sensitivities to environmental toxins, contributing to chronic allergies to foods and inhalants, chronic viral infections, or even brain inflammation and autoimmunity. When these underlying medical issues are individually addressed, the children’s symptoms improve.

 In our continuing efforts to provide the most effective treatments for
our patients, we are pleased to offer IV infusion therapies, including
nutritional and detoxification agents. This includes IV glutathione,
vitamin C, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, phosphatidyl choline, and
heavy metal detoxification agents. These treatments have been very
helpful for many children with ASDs. Infusion therapy is a prescribed
treatment that is customized to your child's needs and must be ordered
by the physician. If you would like to inquire about whether your child
would benefit from this treatment, please call our office to schedule
an appointment with Dr. Mielke.

Heavy Metal Detoxification in the Treatment of ASD |
Heavy Metal Detoxification is the process of taking a medication that has a strong binding affinity for toxic metals in the body. Once the medication is in the bloodstream, it seeks out the metal and binds to it very tightly.

In my opinion, there are no true natural chelators. There are natural
agents that can help the body detoxify (such as methyl B12 and Glutathione), and
there are natural substances that have an affinity for loose metals, but they
are not true chelators.

 We live in
a toxic world. Every man, woman, and infant child has hundreds of chemicals and
heavy metals in their body – exposed prenatally, in utero, and of course every
day after that. One in six women on earth is mercury toxic, and that doesn’t
even count the other metals and chemicals that are stored in her body that are
easily transmitted to the growing fetus.
We know much more about the effects of heavy metal toxins than we do
about the chemical toxins in our environment. At least there are a limited
number of metal poisons – but the number of chemical poisons is seemingly
endless!
