Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Dear Alternative Answers Members - Autism One 2004 Conference, May 27 - 30, 2004, Chicago, IL Autism is an epidemic striking one out of 150 children, 1 in 68 families, up from 1 in 5000 children a decade ago. Autism One is a conference which embraces a complementary and alternative approach to treating autism. Some of the world's leading homeopaths are presenting at Autism One, including Amy Lansky, John Melnychuk, Dr. Paul Herscu, Dr. Amy Rothenberg, Dr. Barbara Brewitt, Dr. John Hicks, Dr. Denise Tarasuk, and Dr. Sarkar. Each has achieved remarkable success in treating children with autism. Amy Lansky is the author of Impossible Cure, the book that chronicles how she saved her son from autism using homeopathy. John Melnychuk is Amy's homeopath. Drs. Herscu and Rothenberg are very well known and respected; their book on treating autism with homeopathy will be published in April. Dr. Barbara Brewitt is the Chief Scientific Officer for BioMed and is doing research in homeopathic recombinant human growth hormone (hGH) and growth factor. Dr. John Hicks, MD a traditional allopathic practitioner who has begun incorporating homeopathy in his practice. Dr. Denise Tarasuk practices homeopathy in the framework of Ayurvedic Medicine. Dr. Sarkar is in charge of infectious diseases for India. One often overlooked aspect of autism is that our children get all the same illnesses and bumps and bruises every other child gets. The difference is our children can't take antibiotics, aspirin, or most over-the-counter drugs. Homeopathy can help, not only treating the autism, but with these everyday bruises and illnesses as well. We also have leading experts presenting on Traditional Chinese Medicine, cranial sacral therapy, naturopathic, chiropractic, and other holistic treatments. Below please find an overview of our conference.
