Research Results

Clinical Efficacy of Upper Cervical Versus Full Spine Adjustment on

Children with Autism

WFC'S 7th Biennial Congress Conference Proceedingg MAY 1-3, 2003, 7th Ed:

328-9

Children with autism are presented with multiple categories of clinical

pictures that affect their social, sensory, speech, and physical

development. In addition to chiropractic care, parents of autistic children

seek all possible therapies available. In this study, the clinical outcome

of chiropractic care showed higher efficacy of upper cervical adjustment

when compared to full spine adjustment in autistic children.

A Case Study of a Five Year Old Male with Autism/Pervasive Development

Disorder who Improved Remarkably and Quickly with Chiropractic Treatment

Proceedings of the World Federation of Chiropractic Congress 2001 (May); 6:

313

Extraordinary progress was noted in the patient by all involved parties.

The subjective and objective monitoring system revealed a 96% overall

improvement after 2 weeks of treatment. A 102% overall improvement was

revealed on a 3.5 year follow-up, the mother adding that the child appeared

near normal. This progress is vastly superior to typical progress following

standard medical treatment.

Autism, Asthma, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Strabismus, and Illness

Susceptibility: A Case Study in Chiropractic Management

Todays Chiropractic 1998; 27 (5): 32–47 ~ FULL TEXT

Pathologies of organic origin are commonly thought to be the exclusive

realm of medical treatment and not part of the mainstay of chiropractic

care. The clinical observations of a patient presenting with autism,

asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, strabismus, and illness susceptibility

are reported. Alleviation of symptoms is seen subsequent to corrections of

abnormal biomechanical function of the occipito-atlanto-axial complex. A

relationship between biomechanical faults in the upper cervical spine and

the manifestation of abnormal central neurophysiological processing is

suggested as the genesis of this patient’s symptomatology.

The Effect of Chiropractic Adjustments on the Behavior of Autistic

Children: A Case Review

Journal of Chiropractic 1987 (Dec); 24 (12): 21-25

Extraordinary progress was noted in the patient by all involved parties.

The subjective and objective monitoring system revealed a 96% overall

improvement after 2 weeks of treatment. A 102% overall improvement was

revealed on a 3.5 year follow-up, the mother adding that the child appeared

near normal. This progress is vastly superior to typical progress following

standard medical treatment.

The Story of ...A Little Boy With Autism

International Review of Chiropractic 1996 (Nov); 43-46

Behavioral improvements were observed in such diverse areas as

picking up toys, use of sign language, reduction of self-abuse and

appropriate use of language. It is hoped that this pilot study will

generate further research into the effects of chiropractic adjustments on

similar neurological disorders.

The Status of Research into Vaccine Safety and Autism

Washington, D.C. - On June 19, 2002, at 11:00 a.m., in Room 2154

of the Rayburn House Office Building, the Committee on Government Reform,

chaired by Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN), will conduct a hearing to

evaluate the status of research concerning the possible relationship

between vaccines and neurological disorders, including autism.

Autism, An Extreme Challenge to Integrative Medicine

Part 1: The Knowledge Base

Altern Med Rev 2002 (Aug); 7 (4): 292–316

Prenatal toxic exposures (teratogens) are consistent with autism spectrum

symptomatology. Frequent vaccinations with live virus and toxic mercurial

content (thimerosal) are a plausible etiologic factor. Autistic children

frequently have abnormalities of sulfoxidation and sulfation that

compromise liver detoxification, which may contribute to the high body

burden of xenobiotics frequently found.

Part 2: Medical Management

Altern Med Rev 2002 (Dec); 7 (6): 472–499

Behavioral modification and structured education are beneficial but

insufficient. Dietary restrictions, including removal of milk and other

casein dairy products, wheat and other gluten sources, sugar, chocolate,

preservatives, and food coloring are beneficial and prerequisite to benefit

from other interventions. Individualized IgG or IgE testing can identify

other troublesome foods but not non-immune mediated food sensitivities.
