Removing all the tightly bound mercury from the body and brain will greatly improve autistic symptoms. The second process of treatment involves improving cognitive functioning. Again some improvement will be gained by removal of toxic substances. However, the goal is to repair or restore cognitive functioning as much as possible. We recommend cognitive remediation to achieve this goal.
Cognitive remediation is physical therapy to the senses and brain.
There are various ways to provide cognitive remediation. Our two favorite methods are EEG biofeedback and the SOI program. EEG biofeedback or sometimes referred to as neuro-feedback involves allowing the child to view their brain waves via a computer and change them. Specific brain wave patterns are associated with increase focus and attention, raising intelligence, and improving memory. Usually this would be during the third month of step 2.
