Jeff Bradstreet, M.D. - Reversing Autism Using Biomarker Directed Biological Interventions

Recent advances in laboratory methods allows us to have greater insight into the underlying processes which generate the autism symptoms. Dealing effectively with these biological problems leads to faster and more effective recover for the children. This discussion will include the dramatic findings from an international study which indicates serious problems with the immune system and the presence of increased amounts of oxidative damage of RNA and cell membranes. These serious issues need effective therapies and parents and clinicians need to know they have done enough to correct the abnormal biology.

Dr. Bradstreet, MD, FAAFP is founder of and a treating physician at the International Child Development Resource Center in Florida, adjunct professor of nutritional neuroscience and child development at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, adjunct professor of neurosciences at Stetson University, and a clinical consultant to the University of California Davis MIND Institute. A versatile man in the research and treatment of autism spectrum disorder, he has published landmark studies with regard to the role of mercury and measles virus in autism, such as A Case Control Study of Mercury Burden in Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders, published in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, as well as speaking before Congress and the IOM. His 11-year old son, Matthew, is recovering from autism. Dr Bradstreet is the founder of a special school for children with autism that encompasses biological, behavioral, sensory, auditory and speech therapies into a combined program.
