In working with these families, he has researched and implemented many treatments that are recommended by DAN! (Defeat Autism Now!). His formal training in treating Autism Spectrum Disorders “ASD” patients began with " Open Windows " (Toronto) training from Dr’s Bradstreet and Kartzinel in 2003. He has completed DAN! Physician Levels 1 and 2 training between 2005 and 2009, and several Physician’s training sessions with Great Plains Laboratory. His activities in the naturopathic profession (lecturing, Clinic Supervisor, and membership on the Ontar

io Regulatory Board) led to being voted Naturopathic Doctor of the Year in 2005. He is giving back to the Autism community through lecturing, teaching and research on top of his busy practice.

DVD #1 - The Biomedical Approach for Treating Autism, PDD, AD(H)D, and Related Disorders - An Overview

This lecture introduces practitioners to the scope of neuro-developmental disorders that are unfolding in the world today. Topics that will be covered include: • Diagnostic criteria of Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADD/ADHD and other associated neuro-developmental conditions (e.g. Seizure disorders, Apraxia) • Prevalence and Statistics concerning ASD's, including the dramatic change in the rates of ASD's since 1990 • Case History review: Signs, Symptoms and Review of Systems details to take on every case • Key environmental and lifestyle triggers that contribute to the onset of Neuro-developmental disorders.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will better understand the complex nature of Autism Spectrum Disorders and other childhood neuro-developmental conditions to assist them in directing their care through biomedical approaches

The lecture lays the groundwork for learning to use detailed patient and family history as well as biomarker-based testing to develop their treatment programs for each patient

DVD #2 - Immunology: Infections Contributing to Autism Spectrum Disorders

Seminar Outline: Candida, Clostridia, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Borrelia (Lyme), Measles virus, HHV-6 are the most common microorganisms that may contribute to Autism Spectrum Disorders.

The presence or consideration of some of these infections may be obvious from the patient history. Clinical experience shows that practitioners can’t assume certain infections are present, and other infections may not be considered at all in the case.

Learning Objectives:

Review and discuss testing options to confirm infections: Organic Acids, Comprehensive Stool Analysis, antibody titers and others

Review naturopathic medicines (e.g. herbal and homeopathic medicines) and prescription medicines that patients could be referred for (if not in an ND’s scope of practice)

Learn factors that compromise successful treatment of infections, tests to order in anticipation of difficult treatment, and adjunctive treatments you should recommend to increase successful outcomes

DVD #3 - Test Interpretation & Case Studies

Seminar Outline: This seminar will introduce participants to biomedical testing and assessments may be in limited use in practice. This post graduate level training builds on the core naturopathic curriculum to provide a truly integrative approach to treating disorders triggered by a variety of environmental and lifestyle factors. This lecture will use case studies drawn from private practice to illustrate how practitioners can successfully use biomarker-based testing to understand the complexity of each case, explain it to the patient (or their parents) and develop appropriate treatment programs using naturopathic medicines.

Learning Objectives:

Provides a summary overview of the complex, multi-factorial nature of Autism Spectrum Disorders and testing approaches that will increase their successful outcomes

Reviews potential challenges of following this approach with parents and mainstream health providers

Learn how the Biomedical Approach will effect current practices and how to plan to successfully implement it in the coming weeks and months

Presentation Title: Targeted Applications for Nutritional Supplements

Seminar Outline: Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have many unique nutritional needs and with appropriate targeted nutritional supplementation, many see significant improvement in their autistic symptoms. This presentation highlights the different pathologies that commonly exist in individuals with ASD such as food sensitivities, immune dysfunction, digestive issues, inborn errors of metabolism, heavy metal toxicity, oxidative stress, fungal and viral infections among others.

In addition, it is common to see low lab results for many nutrients including zinc, magnesium, selenium, vitamin D, vitamin C, vitamin B-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids. Once these deficiencies and underlying conditions are understood and addressed with appropriate and targeted nutritional interventions, many individuals with ASD will see improvements in the areas of eye contact, cognition, focus, sleep, mood, speech, behavior and bowel function among others.

Learning Objectives:

Receive a broad and in-depth overview of the most important nutrients that are needed for the majority of individuals with ASD

Gain an understanding of digestive abnormalities in autism and the specific use off digestive enzymes

Learn how to utilize the benefits of botanical extracts and probiotics to achieve optimal intestinal health

Evaluate the best options and protocols for heavy metal detoxification using nutritional supplements

Learn about the use of amino acids in autism to correct deficiencies and improve autistic symptoms

Explore specific nutritional protocols that can be used as targeted interventions for other disorders that can accompany an autism diagnosis including mood, sleep, anxiety, obsessive compulsive, attention deficit, bowel as well as others

DVD #1 - Presentation Title: Importance of Organic Acids Testing

Seminar Outline: The role of organic acids in human metabolism will be discussed. Organic acids are metabolic byproducts derived from virtually every phase of metabolism including fatty acids, carbohydrate metabolism, Krebs cycle, amino acid metabolism, detoxification, and microbial metabolism of the gastrointestinal tract. Dysbiosis, the condition of having an imbalance of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract, plays a role in almost every kind of chronic disease including autism spectrum disorders
