Inflammation is one of the causes of chronic disease but what does that mean and what can we do about it to get our children better.

A biomedical approach is commonly used for children on the autism spectrum and is an integral part of Dr. Debby's practice. The term biomedical means understanding the biological causes of symptoms that a child is experiencing. Chronic illness in children can be complex and involve many different systems in the body such as the digestive system and the immune system.
Autism is diagnosed in a child when they have problems in three areas of functioning: (1) problems with speech and communication, (2) social interactions, and (3) stereotyped and repetitive behavior. There is a wide range of severity of problems so children are diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum.
ADHD or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is increasingly common in our country. Standard medical treatment usually consists of prescription medications that carry the risk of many side effects and are not always effective. Luckily many biomedical treatments are available that can help. These treatments are safe, reduce the ADHD symptoms and improve the general health of the child.
Unfortunately for many children, behavioral and emotional issues are becoming more common. Many children with these issues also have learning issues, ADHD, or autism. Often behavioral and emotional issues come from underlying medical issues which can be treated. These may be from nutritional deficiencies, allergies, sensitivities to chemicals in the environment, toxins, metabolic imbalances or even infections.
Feeding children can be a struggle. Sometimes they just don't want to eat or they don't want to eat anything healthy which causes parents a lot of concern. Lack of proper nutrition can slow a child's growth, affect emotions and impact their social behavior. It is important to address growth issues promptly.
