I am a Nutritional Therapist with a busy practice in the North West of England, bordering Wales. I am committed to helping children and adults to recover as best they can from Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASDs).

In the USA it is now being acknowledged that conditions that are part of the autism spectrum can overlap. I have been following the breakthrough treatments from America for many years now and have followed the guidelines of these physicians and scientists at the forefront of the movement. Unfortunately, although the protocol developed by the Defeat Autism Now! movement came about in 1996, it was in its infancy then. Now it is much more developed with clearer guidelines to follow.

Defeat Autism Now!

The Defeat Autism Now! movement was formed in 1994 by Drs Rimland, Baker and Pangborn in the US. Its mission is to provide parents and professionals with a consensus as to the safest and most effective treatment options for children with developmental problems on the autism spectrum.

Defeat Autism Now! conferences are now convened twice a year in the States. A movement that started out with 30 researchers, clinicians and parents now has hundreds of practitioners (including medical doctors, nutritionists, naturopaths) and parents world-wide who follow the consensus on treatment.

Many of the practitioners are parents or relatives of children with ASD themselves. I myself follow the protocol developed by the Defeat Autism Now! movement with my own child, and would love to help your child with ASD.
