ALGAE Is Your Nutritional Rock Star

Welcome to Episode 162 of Autism Parenting Secrets. This episode focuses on the epidemic of allergies in children.  Our guest this week is Heather Fraser, an advocate for holistic health &amp; health choice and author of The Peanut Allergy Epidemic. This discussion explores the many factors that gave rise to the sudden and increasing prevalence of allergies in children.Our journey to support our son involved both moderate/severe autism and life-threatening allergies, especially to peanuts.In many ways, the peanut allergy was the greater challenge.And we know it wasn’t bad luck that our son has a peanut allergy and many others.The secret this week is … Peanut Allergies AREN’T RandomYou'll Discover:Red Flags To Watch Out For (3:22)The Shocking Prevalency Of Childhood Allergies Today (5:15)What You’ll See In Schools That You Never Used To See (9:37)Why The Hygiene Hypothesis Doesn’t Explain The Allergy Epidemic (14:31)How The Words Allergy and Anaphylaxis Came Into Existence (19:05)A History Of The Many Things That Changed With Immunizations (21:39)The “Bystander Effect” (26:28)The Long-Term Impact of Antibiotics (28:38)Why We Need To Say NO To Normalization (35:49)Why GRAS IS So Concerning (42:27)Anxiety Never Helps (49:53)Why You Need To Keep Your Eyes Wide Open (54:54)About Our Guest:Heather Fraser is a health choice advocate and author of The Peanut Allergy Epidemic. Its third edition features a foreword by another allergy parent, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. From Heather…Some experiences can change the course of your life completely. In 1995, this happened to me when my one-year-old child reacted violently to a taste of peanut butter.We sought treatments such as were available at the time and urgently adapted to a state of hypervigilance. I studied nutrition and energy-based modalities looking for ways to recover. At the same time, I scoured the medical literature. I wanted to know what had happened, how and why my child and, by the late 90s, scores of other children had suddenly become atopic and anaphylactic to common foods.Today, I am an advocate for holistic health and health choice. My studies have included BodyTalk, Quantum Touch, iridology, bioenergetics, and nutrition through IHN (Toronto).  I have a special interest in consciousness-based practice. In this context, I make two muscle testing tools that are available through Ergopathics.In 2017, the third edition of my book The Peanut Allergy Epidemic was published with a foreword by another allergy parent and friend, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and a preface by my child, Cat Fraser-Boychuk. This book is a deep dive into the complex and deeply challenging world of health politics. ​In addition to studies in health, I hold an MA in Art History from Queen's University and two undergrad degrees in Art History and Education from Western University. Heatherfraser.caAdditional Resources:Take The Quiz: What’s YOUR Top Autism Parenting Blindspot?To learn more about Cass &amp; Len, visit us at www.autismparentingsecrets.comBe sure to follow Cass &amp; Len on InstagramIf you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.

Self Care’s NOT Selfish

Welcome to Episode 160 of Autism Parenting Secrets. This week we explore why chiropractic care can make a huge difference for your child.  Our guest is Dr. Nancy Tarlow, a neurologically-based Chiropractor who has been practicing since 1993. The benefits of chiropractic care to address physical pain and discomfort are well known.But the impact on the brain is not widely understood or appreciated.This discussion dives into the neurological and emotional benefits that occur from the right adjustments and corrections.And for your child on the spectrum, there’s one big reason why chiropractic care from the right professional can be game-changing.The secret this week is … CHIROPRACTIC CALMS The Nervous SystemYou'll Discover:It’s About So Much More Than Back-Pain (8:05)How Chiropractic Care Can Help Your Child (10:26)The Sympathetic and The Parasympathetic Nervous System  (12:39)One Way To Determine If Your Child Is In Flight or Fight (17:01)How To Do Deep Belly Breathing (20:53)Some Specific Techniques That Calm (25:45)Why It’s All About Energy Flow (30:27)A Powerful Two-Pronged Approach (36:59)How To Find The Right Chiropractor (39:16)About Our Guest:Dr. Nancy Tarlow is a neurologically-based Chiropractor and has been in practice since 1993. She decided to become a Chiropractor after a life-changing experience of chronic health problems (environmental allergies, chronic sinus &amp; bronchial infections, regular illness) to become allergy-free and healthy in just a few short months!Her focus has been primarily on family care with a special interest in working with children taking primarily post-graduation classes in pregnancy and children's care since '97. In 2000, she did the Chiropractic Nutrition post-graduate program, whose focus was on inflammation and how it affects health with learning how inflammatory foods break down in the body vs non-inflammatory foods. Incorporating this work has been essential to the health of her patients in healing the gut and the brain, along with the work of the Weston A Price Foundation.In 2008, she made a startling discovery that when she used a Chiropractic technique that stimulated The Relaxation Response, an adult woman's chronic severe constipation of only moving her bowels every 10 days improved to daily. That prompted a focus on using these types of techniques with all of her patients that were in a chronic "fight or flight" state that was impeding their healing. She started teaching her patients about how to stimulate the Relaxation Response on their own and the importance of how stress affects every aspect of health. Nancy will be offering webinars on this type of information online for anyone that is interested in decreasing inflammation and stress in their body for the healing of the gut and brain. www.mBodyHealth.netTwitter: https://twitter.com/truthlovingdrInstagram: www.instagram.com/drnancyt/Facebook: Tarlow Chiropractic https://www.facebook.com/DrNancyTarlowDCReferences in The Episode:Weston A PriceAdditional Resources:Take The Quiz: What’s YOUR Top Autism Parenting Blindspot?To learn more about Cass &amp; Len, visit us at www.autismparentingsecrets.comBe sure to follow Cass &amp; Len on InstagramIf you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.

Incorporating this work has been essential to the health of her patients in healing the gut and the brain, along with the work of the Weston A Price Foundation.In 2008, she made a startling discovery that when she used a Chiropractic technique that stimulated The Relaxation Response, an adult woman's chronic severe constipation of only moving her bowels every 10 days improved to daily. That prompted a focus on using these types of techniques with all of her patients that were in a chronic "fight or flight" state that was impeding their healing. She started teaching her patients about how to stimulate the Relaxation Response on their own and the importance of how stress affects every aspect of health. Nancy will be offering webinars on this type of information online for anyone that is interested in decreasing inflammation and stress in their body for the healing of the gut and brain. <a href="http://www.mbodyhealth.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.mBodyHealth.net</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/truthlovingdr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/truthlovingdr</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drnancyt/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.instagram.com/drnancyt/</a>Facebook: Tarlow Chiropractic <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DrNancyTarlowDC" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/DrNancyTarlowDC</a> References in The Episode:<ul><li><a href="http://www.westonaprice.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Weston A Price</a></li></ul> Additional Resources:<ul><li>Take The Quiz:<a href="http://allinparent.com/go" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> What’s YOUR Top Autism Parenting Blindspot?</a></li><li>To learn more about Cass &amp; Len, visit us at<a href="http://www.autismparentingsecrets.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> www.autismparentingsecrets.com</a></li><li>Be sure to follow Cass &amp; Len on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/autismparentingsecrets/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Instagram</a></li></ul> If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.

The IntellxxDNA™ clinical decision support tool is now being used to make genomics actionable and understandable. IntellxxDNA is being used as part of medical decision-making by physicians across the country. Dr. Hausman-Cohen loves combining her passion for science and medicine and using her scientific mind to integrate large amounts of complex data.
