In this post, and others linked to, you will learn some great ideas for parents on how to help guide dental appointments for your child with autism. This is all about how to make a dental appointment a positive experience for the parent and child.
Some tips and suggestions for things to do at the office like using a weighted blanket or the use of the dentists heavy lead apron that they use to cover you when you get an x-ray, but you don’t need to have to be getting an x-ray to use it. The weight is very calming for most kids on the autism spectrum. Noise cancelling headphones can also be helpful.
There are several toys, weighted blankets, head phones, and more in my podcast page where I interview sensory processing expert Lindsey Biel, on Sensory Processing Disorders to help you and your dentist to have a greater understanding about what is going on with your child and what they can do. These home-care tips can be used in the dentists office too, as well as helping the dental office to prep for the child’s visit.

Lyme disease is on the rise. One in every four children on the autism spectrum tests positive for Lyme disease. It is the fastest growing vector born infection with 300,000 new cases per year. This number is said to likely be an underestimate. It continues to be under diagnosed due to the center for Disease Control’s inadequate established bands or markers used for detection in blood tests.
Lyme disease is usually contracted through a tick bite. some of these ticks can be as small as a poppy seed and go unnoticed. Lyme can be passed in utero from a mother to her child, as well as in breast milk. Lyme can also be passed from mosquitoes and head lice.
Symptoms of Lyme disease can mimic other disorders such as:
• Attention deficit disorder (ADD)
• Learning difficulties
• Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Depression
• Alzheimer’s
• Schizophrenia
• Multiple sclerosis
• Chronic fatigue
• Fibromyalgia
• Heart conditions
• Bell’s Palsy (facial drooping)
TESTING FOR LYME
As mentioned above, detecting Lyme through the standard “blot” blood test is minimal, at best. It is common to get a false negative. This means the blood test tells you that you do not have it when you actually do. So what do you do?
Best practice is to wait until your child’s gut is healthy, toxins have been reduced greatly, and his immune system is strong before testing. The chosen test “said to be the number one bio-energetic screening in the world” is ASYRA. No blood test is needed and their accuracy is known to be superb from one test. You can learn more at, www.asyra.co.uk. One resource for ASYRA in the U.S. is in California at, Immune Matrix.
LYME TREATMENT
The bacteria that cause Lyme disease can keep changing form and re-infect. Each must be treated specifically. Multiple infections suppress the immune system, so multiple systems must be treated. Lyme decreases immunity so secondary fungal, bacterial, and viral infections appear. This happens even easier if heavy metals and toxins are in the system.
Do not use traditional methods of heavy metal detoxification such as DMSA or EDTA when Lyme is present. Mercury can inhibit Lyme. If a heavy metal detoxification process allows re-absorption of toxins back into the body during the excretion process, like these chelators do, then the mercury released into the system may activate the Lyme disease. Lyme has multiple co-infections. It is systemic, gets into the intestines, and makes you intolerant of carbohydrates and develop sensitivity to gluten, casein, and sugar.
Lyme infection does not leave easily and multiple systems are affected. Antibiotics alone have been disappointing in the treatment of Lyme disease. Autism and Lyme commonly exist in one individual. A broad based treatment which affects all co-infections and assists the body on multiple levels is necessary. Energetic frequencies, nutritional therapies, and the occasional need for anti-parasitic medicine and antibiotics all need to be reviewed, so that you can may make educated decisions for your child.

Glyphosate is a chemical found in the weed killer known as Round-up. It is also sprayed on food crops to dry them out when ready to harvest. We then ingest these extremely harmful chemicals.

Release trapped emotional patterns from yourself and your child to clear the path to autism recovery.
The Emotion code was developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson, one of the world’s foremost experts in the fields of bio-energetic medicine and energy psychology.
Have you ever wondered if there were emotional blocks, perhaps in your subconscious mind, that might be keeping you from having better relationships, keeping you in a less than desirable financial state, or even preventing you or your child from improved health? Have you ever wondered why therapy appointments and positive affirmations did not make much, or any differences? In this tutorial you will learn possible reasons why. Even better, I will show you what you can do about it.
Children with autism have many types of infections including Lyme, chronic inflammation from many issues such as mold, parasites, gut dysbiosis, toxic overload, and much more. These issues can sometimes be held in the body if there is an emotional component keeping them there. Keep an open mind. This work has helped thousands of people worldwide get better from both physical and mental health issues. Please watch the tutorial video to help you understand more about it and to help you learn how you can do it!
The Bodies Way fo Protecting Us Can Create Trapped Emotions that Prevent Optimum Recovery from Autism
Learn how the subconscious mind surrounds areas of the body, including the heart, to protect us. Dr. Nelson has found in his work with thousands of people that all children with autism have a “heart wall”. This emotional energy prevents recovery. When the heart wall is removed testimonials show that eye contact is often restored, and much more. Toxic insults from vaccinations and heavy metals create trapped emotions that distort the energy field and interfere with the bodies ability to function well.
Listen to my radio show interview with Dr. Nelson on the emotion code. Dr. Nelson shares his 20 plus years of experience and testimonials from parents of children on the autism spectrum.
The Emotion Code is a safe, simple process with very powerful results.
I have a tutorial video for you with my Emotion Code practitioner giving a demonstration using me as his subject. He will give you a brief description of what the Emotion Code is all about and then he’s going to do a demonstration on me. This is something that you can do at home on your children. We will keep it a bit brief, of course, it can get much more detailed in a full session. I wanted to give you a little bit of something hands-on to utilize because you’ve got to clear these old buried emotions from yourself and your children to be able to help the body recover, or regain health. That’s the whole point of it.
