Greetings from the Founder

Dear Parents,

I am the mother of an 11 year-old autistic boy.  He is my first born. Eight years ago I learned from an esteemed expert at UCSF that my son was a very low functioning autistic child with no hope of recovery. Her words still ring in my ears – “your son is severely autistic. I do not want you to have any hope that this will change. I recommend that you put him in an institution and go home and have another child.”

That was the day that I started on the journey that has taken here, to CARE Clinics, today. She was WRONG. There is always hope. It is not just me, but across the entire field of autism many dedicated professionals are using a new language, one of hope. 

Autism, like many childhood afflictions whose incidences are rising, is a condition with biomedical underpinnings. It is not a behavioral disorder, although it has many behavioral disorder symptoms. It is a biomedical disorder. The problem to date has been that the biomedical aspects manifest themselves in as many ways as there are degrees “on the spectrum”. People are looking for one answer, where instead autism has many – but each child, has their one answer. The key is to break it down into the specific parts for the particular child.

It is increasingly accepted that autism, and other afflictions, have genetic  roots. The child is “predisposed”. When genes meet environment in a particular way, the result is a breakdown in the immune system, the detoxification systems, the metabolism, etc... It happens in different ways, in different severities with different children, but the diagnostic community still labels them all Autistic Spectrum Disorders. When a genetic predisposition meets an environmental insult on a certain point in a child’s developmental timeline, things get broken.  By looking at the underlying biomedical data and genetic profiles, we can begin to repair and reverse the unchecked course of the deviated development. We can bring the child on to the path to recovery. We are beginning to see miracles.

The mainstream medical community,  the AMA, the pediatricians and the medical researchers are all withholding opinion. It is the nature of our cautious system to perform endless clinical trials and double-blinds and long-term tracking studies. The legal system and the insurance systems are built this way to protect the public. This is great for children yet to be born, those that are two generations out. It does nothing however for my son, for the current generation of innocent children and families suffering under the tremendous physical, emotional and financial burdens of autism.  

At CARE Clinics we have studied the latest and greatest treatments for autism for the past eight years. Things have been steadily progressing but a integrated view that builds on all breakthroughs and advances has been elusive. As with all industries, politics and vested interests sometimes stifle progress. We believe the answer is in front of us and we are working with families who are interested in taking advantage of the latest advances in the treatment of autism as a disease with biomedical underpinnings, many of which have accepted protocols for treating them. We are seeing great results by breaking down the disease into its modular parts, and treating those with accepted protocols, by sequencing and combining them in such a way so as to treat each factor in a logical prioritized way, we can overcome this disease without subjecting our children to untested, unsafe drugs and science.

There is hope for our children and it gets brighter every day. Please contact us to learn more about our treatments and services for your child.

Sincerely yours,

Kazuko
