Out of the 2008 Lyme-Autism Connection Conference came a new shift: we will increase our education for practitioners. Why? Families tell us they may see limited progress in the various treatment protocols, but they see a big jump in results when they work with an integrative practitioner who possesses cutting edge education. Several doctors who were first time attendees at the 2008 Lyme-Autism Connection conference said they were just "blown away" by the many aspects of the epidemic and the speed at which new information is coming to the forefront. Patients who attended had a full toolbox of information to take back to their doctors.
Data shows a growing number of families are affected by autism or by Lyme disease, and many children have both diagnoses. This conference focuses on intermingling traditional and alternative biomedical treatment for children and adults affected by Borrelia, multiple-infections and/or autism spectrum disorder, asperger’s syndrome, and ADHD. You will hear presentations about environmental insults which exasperate symptoms in these disorders. You will hear presentations with the newest scientific data. We are working to be able to provide CME credits. Additionally, we estimate about 40 vendors.
Conference participants tell us we are "10 years ahead" of other conferences because of the vast amount of cutting edge information provided. So join us for our 2009 LIA conference, "From Roadblocks to Recovery."
About LIA Foundation
We are a non-profit public benefit charity and under 501c3 status of the IRS.
We are a grass roots organization begun based on the need for an organization to mobilize the Lyme and Autism Communities to find answers for these children. Our mission consists of:
1. To encourage, through our awareness programs, parents, physicians and the community on the importance of testing for Borrelia, Mycoplasma and many multiple-infections in their children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
2. To educate the autism community, both doctors and parents, and others on which treatments are available, how to find a doctor knowledgeable in Borrelia, Mycoplasma and multiple-infections and connect parents with mentors who can help guide them through their journey.
3. To help coordinate future medical studies to help with future treatments, information and education to the community.
About CHOICE
CHOICE is the voice of Arizona’s patients and doctors, an organization born in Arizona in 2007 to ensure that a wide array of choices is available in medical care. www.ChoiceForHealthonline.com CHOICE advocates for:
– Ability for doctors to pursue advanced treatments that go beyond the conventional Standard of Care which is shaped in large measure by the pharmaceutical industry.
– Emphasis on prevention and attainment of good health, not just “disease management” with costly interventions and drug prescriptions.
– Recognition that food is our best medicine. We need access to food that is free of pesticides/hormones/steroids, free of genetic modification, grown in nutrient rich soil. We need unfettered access to unprocessed food that has not been denatured for longer shelf life.
– Availability of a wide range of supplements including herbs, vitamins, and homeopathic remedies.
– Truth in labeling so we know when MSG and other additives are present in foods.
– Ability to accept or deny vaccinations for our children; those who feel vaccines and their components contribute to health problems should not be threatened with jail if they choose not to vaccinate.
– Full disclosure about medical microchips that would be implanted in the name of “safety.”
