Are You a Parent of Autistic Child?

                    ER   

"Once you get a diagnosis, you can't be a parent, you      have to be a case manager, an education specialist,     You've got to figure out the medical system. It's  overwhelming to think I have to advocate and navigate  the system. The level of stress is terrifying."

"It is only the Parents that care for the Parents. They are the only ones who are motivated to know it all, try it all.They pay for their education and for the research. They are the truly Autism Specialists.The rest is waste of time."

coffeeIf you are reading this you have chosen to pursue complete recovery, optimal wellness and time appropriate development as the only option for our children. The sole mission of this program is to educate, investigate, design and implement under the care and guidance of the medical professional of your choice, individualised treatment plan suited for the particular needs and symptoms of the patient.

Our program begins with thorough analysis of the triggers and factors to the dis- ease from conception until present, an attempt to pinpoint the events when the most significant change was noticed. This is the time to mention that hereditary predisposition could offer some insight into the process from health to illness, but does not offer solid explanation or excuse for the condition. There is enough studies done on the genetic make up of children on the spectrum and none of them presents a conclusive answer. However overwhelming evidence from independent reliable sources – not government owned or financed studies -have proven beyond any doubt that toxicity from metals, bacteria, viruses and compromised ability to deal with the daily overload of toxins in our environment, the chemicals used from the food industry, over and unnecessary use of medications , compromised or insufficient metabolism ad hereditary factors are causing harm to the developing mind and thus are undeniable true causation for neurological disease and disorders in children.

Each patient is individual and therefore the impact of toxicity and the symptoms manifesting from it vary dramatically in their quantity and quality, intensity or prominence. Autism Spectrum disorders is a complex multifaceted disease making it almost impossible even for a brilliant physician to capture every shade, note all of the concerns in the time period of an office visit. This is why the involvement of parents and caregivers are crucial for complete healing to occur.

The role of the Autism Specialist is:

- To collect all the necessary information from the resources, pertinent to the case from the complexity of conditions and symptoms in order of occurrence and present the case history. This is a powerful tool for your physician – they can therefore design highly time and cost effective, safe treatment plan, possibly avoiding all the pitfalls of trial and error common in autism protocols due to lack of popular single treatment.

- To inform the patients of the different options available for every step of the detoxification process, the reasoning and scientific thought and proof of efficiency for it and the implementation of the methods. Detoxifying the whole body should be done with caution and be carefully timed (pulsed) to assure that the organs involved are not overwhelmed and supported for optimal function. There is a multitude of ways this could be done, thus the focus is on which would be the best for the patient.

- To supervise and offer support for the implementation of the treatment or therapy on weekly basis, noting improvement or healing aggravation associated with the recovery. When we work for complete cure and not masking of the symptoms we must understand and respect the natural laws. Once we reinstate the body natural ability to heal, healing crisis would desirably occur. It would get worse before it gets better. This is a wonderful sign that the body is fighting the disease, however the person might feel uncomfortable, require attentive care and nurture. We give special attention to patients and parents during aggravation and a lot of useful advice and tools to help for a smooth transition.

- To educate patients and their parents/caregivers on the essence of autism spectrum and neurological disorders with emphasis on the separation between the cause (the medical condition) and effect – temporary disability, delay or behavioural issues. We strongly believe and advocate that our children got autism – just like you’ve got the flu - but the child is NOT autistic. Simple allergy could look like or produce the symptoms of attention deficit disorder and the cause for ADD could be simply the neon lighting in the classroom. The comprehension of his small linguistic twitch by patients and parents is vitally important for the results of the treatment.

- Neurological diseases could be and are treated successfully.

Patient, parents and caregivers become more confident as they accumulate substantial information and understanding of how the separate and seemingly unrelated factors contributing to illness are affecting their health, life and performance. They are now not only involved but essential part of the team, observing and directing the treatment, making informed decisions and communicating appropriately with the medical team.

When we speak the same language, communication is clear and productive, therefore we would like all involved to participate equally and positively contribute to our common goal.

The Health coach presents on the following topics –

1. Organic and non organic Mercury toxicity – sources, health damage and danger. Removal.

5. Living environment – what’s going on in your state, your city, your neighborhood, home, school, playground and work

6. Electromagnetic fields and radiation – the devastating effect on human health and DNA damage. The question is not if it is affecting you or your child but How. What needs to be done to protect your loved ones.

7. Gastrointestinal tract – Neuropeptides ; Leaky Gut syndrome, Yeast – Candida overgrowth, virus and bacteria, parazites. Pro -biotics and pre - biotics, enzymes, GI support. Treatment protocols, prevention and maintenance

8. Liver and kidney function – support during detoxification, assuring optimal functioning

9. Skin condition – the skin is the biggest detoxifying organ, yet so often overlooked in conventional medicine –skin rashes, care and observation- “What do I see and what does it mean?”

11. Testing - what is a must and why. How to safe your time & money.

12. Chelation –methods, efficiency, complications, side effects. What to expect from the different agents and treatments. “One does not fit all” - careful study and selection of the appropriate protocols for the individual

She  k now s the literature; she knows all the big heroes and their work in the field and all the fallen heroes as well. In the process she has developed her own supportive protocols and therapies, based on her extensive knowledge personal experience and expertise.

She works with me in the function of the patient advocate – I would do the early, kind of gross evaluation, pointing the child in the right direction, establish and write the treatment protocol then Milena takes over and guide the families through the ups and downs of treatment and interventions for the next few years and this has been a fantastic cooperation between us and one truly beneficial for the patients and their recovery.

I have known Milena Sideris for a few years and  highly recommend her to anyone involved in Autism Spectrum Disorder( ASD). Milena's personal knowledge and understanding of ASD far surpasses anyone I have  ever come in contact with. She has medical knowledge greater then most doctors, and the dedication and passion that only a mother with an inflicted child could posses.

I have worked with her personally over the past years, and she has served as my trainer and mentor in understanding ASD. As a result, my ability to offer aid to families in need has drastically improved. I have also witnessed firsthand the benefit that children receive from even just an hour of her time. She is strongly intuitive, quick to action, and not afraid to put in all of her effort to help a child in need. Further, she knows exactly what is needed to be truly effective for children with special needs, the skill to train prospective therapists and providers, and the in depth understanding to revamp and revitalize stagnant intervention programs.
I strongly urge you to take advantage of her talent and can assure you that you will be impressed and pleased with the subsequent results.

Dear Milena,

You are my life saver, you taught me so much, and you came into my life just on time that I was so desperate.

I met Milena just on time; I was like “Oh! Thank God, help has arrived!” I was that desperate .Milena has helped me with a lot of things.

She was interested not only in my child but with our entire family and life. I really did not receive that much from any other person or professional until then and I was not aware that autism effects the whole family.She taught me a lot from  homeopathy, detoxification, chelation, to  how to build better immunity, through diets, allergy treatments, electromagnetic fields protection, getting rid of chronic infections, to even  how to settle the room of the child, how to put a child to sleep, how to teach my child to pay  attention and focus on a task, which of the educational and interventional  approaches are good for my daughter, how to remain calm and focused on treatments and lots of more,,,, that wont fit here if I attempt to write it all down. I really understood how wonderful she is when I met her and her totally recovered son.

Thank you Milena!
