Dr. Janet Lintala—founder of the Autism Health center and an autism mom herself—shares simple, step-by-step non-prescription protocols used in her practice to dramatically improve the function and well-being of autistic children and adults.
Perhaps you’ve wondered if the common approach to treating autism is the healthiest path.
Well-meaning doctors often target the common symptoms of autism individually with prescription medications. While there’s nothing wrong with using medications appropriately, this symptom-suppression approach leaves the underlying medical problems unaddressed. Moreover, these medications often come with side effects that can worsen the situation for your child. If left to simmer beneath the surface for long enough, such side effects can develop into chronic illnesses down the road.
Supporting these overlooked conditions appropriately and holistically can bring transformative results. Drawing on the latest research developments, as well as personal and clinical experience, Dr. Lintala targets the underlying issues with simple, step-by-step protocols that can relieve symptoms such as:
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Acid reflux
- Aggression
- Irritability
- Night awakenings
- Frequent illnesses
The Un-Prescription for Autism provides hundreds of research citations, clear explanations, detailed protocols, and stories from her clinic to help parents act quickly to restore their child's health, self-control, and language—paving the way for improved:
- Thinking
- Mood
- Sleep
- Language (for some)
- Learning
The Un-Prescription for Autism is the roadmap to supporting your autistic child and helping them sleep better, feel better, behave better, and be ready to connect with the world and learn.
