Natural Approaches to Autism Workshop

Empower Yourself with the Knowledge & Training to Optimize a Child’s Care

Research shows that many individuals with autism spectrum disorders have underlying issues that frequently go undiagnosed and can cause or exacerbate symptoms of autism. These problems include vitamin and mineral deficiencies, food allergies, chronic viruses, bacterial infections, impaired immune function, heavy metal toxicity, neuro-inflammation, and more. When these issues are addressed and resolved, the symptoms of autism can be dramatically reduced.

Tiffany Jackson, ND, owner of EcoHealth & Wellness, LLC and DAN! (Defeat Autism Now!) practitioner is offering a 3-Week Intensive Autism Course, “Natural Approaches to Autism” at Whole Foods Market® in November 2011. Classes are held in a private conference room and healthy snacks are provided.   

Tiffany has been helping autistic children for over five years.  She brings a wealth of information, knowledge and experience to parents and therapists through this unique 3-week workshop. The goal of the workshop is to educate parents and therapists with the alternative resources, updated research, therapies, and natural approaches that many parents have found to be extremely helpful.    

This step-by-step, easy to follow 3-week workshop guides participants through the maze of biomedical approaches, including the gluten-free and casein-free diet, general nutritional supplement support, and understanding yeast, bacteria and other metabolic and digestive imbalances commonly seen with individuals on the autistic-spectrum. By following Tiffany’s guidelines parents will be able to confidently begin their child on natural therapies.
