Natural Treatment for Attention Deficit / Attention Deficit Hyper and Autism Spectrum Disorders

At Pompa Health Solutions, children with ADD / ADHD like behavior and those within the autism spectrum (ADD through autistic) all start out on the same program. The approach is the same because the root causes are the same; that is, nutritional imbalance and neurotoxicity leading to neurological damage. The further a child is to the right of the spectrum (exhibiting disorders like sensory integration, aspergers, and autism), the more neurotoxic he/she is.  We know that such children will not recover without proper detoxification; therefore, we apply all the steps outlined below. To the left of the scale, however, we need only assist the body back to balance with chiropractic care, dietary modification, and education.  Besides Dr. Pompa’s Healing Diet, very little detox is needed with this condition.

Numerous studies over many years have conclusively linked AD(H)D type behaviors to such things as traumatic birth process (leading to misalignments of the spine called subluxations), the consumption of sugar-rich and processed foods containing preservatives and dyes which create subluxations, and to metal and chemical toxicity from environmental sources and vaccinations. In our practice, without prescribing medication, we have overcome the ill effects of these things at a 100% success rate when parents partner with us in following our program for the well-being of their children on the autism spectrum.

Before we begin the program, our behavior consultant conducts an initial assessment to explore the severity of behavior and level of need. The consultant attempts to identify external factors (environmental and nutritional) and internal factors (emotional, dental, and visual) that may be triggering behavioral issues. Following the assessment, we use a series of protocols to treat and remove central nervous system interference. We also work with other specialists who treat and remove additional interferences. As a result, we can better guide the parents and the child into an individualized plan of care or treatment plan according to our prescribed protocols. In some cases, it may be necessary to begin at a more advanced level due to individual sensitivities or extreme levels of behavior.

STEP 1: DR. POMPA TESTING PROTOCOLS

Testing is essential in determining if neurotoxicity is a factor and in identifying the toxins we are up against. It also helps us target the source and remove it prior to detox. Knowing that each child is different, the doctor decides what particular tests are needed (for a listing of tests and detailed information about our protocols, contact Pompa Health Solutions at 724-940-7733 or visit http://www.drpompa.com).

STEP 2: SUBLUXATION EVALUATION

You must have your child checked for subluxations. Anywhere on the spectrum, these kids usually have a loss or reversal of the normal cervical curve, as mentioned above. This is typically the first neurological upset to the immune system and nerve system, and it sets off a complex dysfunction inhibiting the immune system from dealing normally with its surroundings, particularly the toxic stress from the standard American diet, vaccines, and the environment. For most children, all we need do is remove the interference from this structural problem, and then the nerve system (God’s healthcare plan) does the healing. In more severe cases, we need to go to the next step, and possibly beyond.

STEP 3: DR POMPA’S “HEALING DIET”

This is the most specific diet for neurotoxic syndrome because it is the only diet that detoxifies and heals at the cellular level. It also includes specific supplementation (for detailed information about our protocols, contact Pompa Health Solutions at 724-940-7733 or visit www.drpompa.com).

Using exercise, dietary changes, and supplementation with children on the autism spectrum, we typically progress them through treatment at a much slower rate; therefore, we approach treatment with smaller steps to thoroughly accomplish our goal of system detox.

STEP 4: DR POMPA’S DETOX MODALITIES FOR SEVERE CASES

Stronger detox modalities are typically needed only when children are on the far right of the spectrum; that is, with conditions like Asbergers Syndrome, sensory integration, and autism (for detailed information about our protocols, contact Pompa Health Solutions at 724-940-7733 or visit http://www.drpompa.com).

Steps 1-3 must precede this step in order to properly detoxify children with this level of toxicity.

Pompa Health Solutions is the only clinic in the Pittsburgh and Wexford, PA area combining these specific types of protocol.  These life changing protocols are developed from years of research and personal experience (call Pompa Health Solutions at 724–940 –7733 or visit www.drpompa.com to receive a copy of Dr. Pompa’s son Dylan amazing recovery story).  Because of this, we feel confident that we lead the Pittsburgh, PA in the treatment of children with neurotoxic syndrome.

Finally, please note that we ultimately treat children — not syndromes or diseases. Pompa Health Solutions and Dr. Daniel Pompa’s passion is to see kids enjoy normal happy lives, behaving as normal children do — not perfectly, but in a balanced way. You see, during years of toxic exposure, a child can learn certain behaviors, and, in time, he will use those behaviors to acquire desired things and to control situations. His success reinforces the behaviors, thereby creating positive experiences for him, and then the behaviors become tools for future use. After treatment and the completion of our protocols, these “tools” often present themselves even though toxicity and/or interference in the central nervous system have been removed. At times, it may be difficult for parents, and others directly involved, to approach positive behavior modification in a balanced way. This is when our behavior consultant can step back into the picture with additional ideas to address the learned behaviors and help bring balance, harmony, and peace back into your family life.

Yes, there is hope.

It’s Always 1918 At The CDC

It’s Always 1918 At The CDC (May 3, 2009)

http://www.rense.com/general85/itswl.htm

Wherever one turns, whether it is on the broadcast news or the Internet, we are bombarded with Swine Flu stories. Government tells us not to “panic,” while it simultaneously engages in activities meant to spread widespread fear.

Indeed, as Robert Higgs has written, the very basis of government rests upon cultivating human fear:

The people who have the effrontery to rule us, who call themselves our government, understand this basic fact of human nature (about fear). They exploit it, and they cultivate it. Whether they compose a warfare state or a welfare state, they depend on it to secure popular submission, compliance with official dictates, and, on some occasions, affirmative cooperation with the state’s enterprises and adventures. Without popular fear, no government could endure more than twenty-four hours. David Hume taught that all government rests on public opinion, but that opinion, I maintain, is not the bedrock of government. Public opinion itself rests on something deeper: fear.

If one wishes to “test” Professor Higgs’ proposition, one needs to look no further than the actions of the Centers for Disease Control, which claims to be in a constant state of readiness in order to protect us from the next pandemic. At the CDC, it always is 1918, and an outbreak of “Spanish Flu” or something like it is just around the corner.

A visit to the CDC’s website shows that the CDC has placed the latest outbreak of Swine Flu front-and-center. News reports monitor the every word of the CDC “experts” who are bombarded with questions about whether or not this is the “Big One.” My sense is that the “experts,” the media, and everyone else in the Flu chain will be disappointed when this turns out to be another overblown “crisis” that governments have foisted upon us right-and-left.

One must remember that for many years, the CDC has been creating vast emergency “plans” that are supposed to swing into action the minute that a rumor is afloat that someone, somewhere, has the flu. Politicians and media figures also want a cut of the action and make sure that they keep the issue before us, telling us “what we need to know.”

Actually, what we need to know is that government is the last thing we need in our faces if there is a real pandemic. That is because governments played a major role in creating the conditions that turned the “Spanish Flu” situation of 1918 into a world-wide tragedy that led to the death of millions. If government is to trot out its “war emergency” model as the way to “protect” us from the flu, perhaps we need to be reminded of how well that model works – in making sure lots of people become sick and die.

Most people don’t remember 1918 as the year the flu pandemic began; they remember it as the year that World War I ended. This was the “War to End All Wars,” or so it was called, when a more appropriate title might have been the “War to Permanently Expand the State.” More than 10 million soldiers died on the battlefields of Europe and millions of civilians died deaths of starvation or were killed in the crossfire.

Since war is a tool of the state, we safely and honestly can say that the calamities of World War I were state-created. Unfortunately, people did not just die from bullets, artillery shells, bombs, and even starvation. Across the globe, the war resulted in vast swaths of malnourishment as crops were diverted from civilian populations to the huge armies strung across Europe. At the same time, once-productive croplands in Europe were reduced to moonscapes as the armies obliterated the land.

But governments were not satisfied with the sheer amount of physical and human destruction. Indeed, the government made things worse through lies, and nowhere was that more apparent that the lies told by state agents in order to “prevent panic” from the onrushing flu epidemic. As Wikipedia points out:

The Great Influenza was the source of much fear in citizens around the world. Further inflaming that fear was the fact that governments and health officials were downplaying the influenza. While the panic from World War I was dwindling, governments attempted to keep morale up by spreading lies and dismissing the influenza. On September 11, 1918, Washington officials reported that the Spanish Influenza had arrived in the city. The following day, roughly thirteen million men across the country lined up to register for the war draft, providing the influenza with an efficient way to spread. However, the influenza had little impact upon institutions and organizations. While medical scientists did rapidly attempt to discover a cure or vaccine, there were virtually no changes in the government or corporations. Additionally, the political and military events were fairly unaffected due to the impartiality of the disease, which affected both sides alike.

Exacerbating the crisis in this country was the crowding of American troops onto ships following the war’s end, which was guaranteed to spread the sickness and help it spread when the soldiers reached the USA. On the home front, huge war bond rallies in large cities brought people into very close proximity with each other, allowing the flu to spread rapidly. On one end, the government helped to create the conditions that spread the flu; on the other hand, agents representing the state lied about those conditions.

By the war’s end, Germany was near starvation (and many people did starve to death during the British blockade that lasted well into 1919), and about a half-million civilians succumbed to the sickness in that country. It is estimated that 16 million people in India died of the pandemic.

Yet, when it raises the prospect of a repeat of this very horror, governments engage in more lies. We forget that life expectancy in the United States was in the mid-50s for white males and less than 50 for black men. In countries elsewhere, and especially in Asia and Africa, life expectancy was much shorter. Medical care at that time was primitive compared to what we have today, even in poor countries, and it was not uncommon in that era for people to be exposed to epidemics that pretty much have disappeared today.

Even with those odds, the mortality rate during the 1918-1920 pandemic was estimated at between 2.5 and 5 percent. We can be assured today that not only would fewer people become sick, but even fewer people would die. In other words, even at its worst, the current outbreak of Swine Flu, while bad, is not going to turn into a pandemic no matter what CNN and the CDC try to tell us.

We supposedly live in an age of “enlightened” government, yet governments in 1918 allegedly were “enlightened,” too, and that was at the height of the “Progressive Era.” The real problem, however, was that those “enlightened” governments had created the very conditions that served as the tinderbox to ignite this pandemic.

If anything, governments today seek to restrict human freedom even more so than did governments of that era, as bad as they were. President Obama, like his predecessor, would have no problem grabbing “emergency” powers in order to fight this supposed onslaught of disease. Emergency plans hatched in the bowels of the CDC bureaucracy await implementation, which would release the inner dictator that resides in the hearts of thousands of bureaucrats across the country.

I doubt seriously that any plan by government can or will lessen the impact of this current “epidemic,” if we can call it that. However, I also have no doubt that if emergency plans are kicked into place, it will be much easier for the government to call for further states of emergency, with the threshold becoming lower and lower. That we should fear much more than the Swine Flu.
