and live a better life. This is doctor eric Aplan, and you're
listening to boost your brain power. April is Autism Awareness Month. Everybody's always
asking me what causes autism. It's one of the most common questions I get
as a functional neurologist because there's a lot of uncertainty, and people don't understand,
and there's a lot of confusion, and there's a lot of misinformation.
Now I've seen tens of thousands of autistic children and help them get their lives
back, help them have eye contact with their mothers, help them say I
love you for the first time, help them stop banging their head into the
wall, help them conform into a school where they don't need special needs and
they don't need occupational therapy and physical therapy and speech therapy and always seeing doctors
and tests and trying to figure stuff out. I get it. It is
very stressful. So people want to know where this is coming from and what
can we do about it. In my experience, one of the most common
reasons autism is increasing at such high rates has to do with an increase of
chemical exposure. And the chemicals are everywhere, and they start before birth.
The average American baby has between two hundred and three hundred chemical exposures before they
even leave the womb. And what that means is that the mother is getting
the chemicals and is giving it to the baby. So when we're talking about
chemicals aggravating the brain, we got to start early, and not when they're
babies earlier than that, not even when they're pregnant earlier than that. You
have to start preaching preconception. I made sure I had no chemicals in my
body, and I did that for a month before we started trying to get
pregnant, and I teach this to my patience. So I'll teach the men
a month before you start trying to have a baby. Don't drink any alcohol,
don't have coffee, soda, don't take tylenol, aspirin, ibuprofen,
don't do any drugs, don't smoke, don't vape, go to bed early,
bi organic food, exercise, drink tons of water. The man's job
comes pre conception. You want to donate the healthiest sperm possible. You don't
want to donate sperm that's full of chemicals. Now, the same thing is
true for the female. A month before you start trying to get pregnant,
get rid of all those chemicals. You don't want to start off the baby
already exposed to chemicals before conception has even occurred. You don't want an unhealthy
egg or an unhealthy sperm. So at least a month before you try and
get pregnant, very important to reduce all chemicals. Now, if you do
get pregnant, we got to continue to avoid all these chemicals. Avoid the
preservatives and the foods, the food dies, the artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors,
the caffeine, the sugar, the medication. These are all chemicals.
Now there's also chemicals that we're exposed to through cookware, right, so get
stainless steel, cookware, through plastics, store everything in stainless steel or glass.
We're gonna get it. In cleaning stuff, whether it's laundry, detergent,
fabric softeners, stuff to clean your dishes, stuff to mop the floor
with, clean the table, the wood, stuff to clean your outside,
your deck, there's stuff to clean your car. Are all these horrible smells
for breeze, glade, incense, candles. There's chemicals everywhere, chemicals in
our food. The fish have mercury, the water has lead. The brown
rice and apple juice has arsenic. There's aluminum in medication, there's aluminum vaccines.
There's aluminum in deodorant. There's aluminum in the sky, there's aluminum in
the pans, there's aluminum in the foil. It's everywhere. There's lead in
the paint. There's mercury in your teeth, there's fluoride in your toothpaste.
Preconception, and when you're pregnant, avoid all these chemicals. And as a
husband or as the father of the baby, your job to create the healthiest
baby is not only to make sure that you guys avoid the chemicals, but
also reduce emotional stress in the mother. There's no more important time for brain
development than pregnant in utero. Stack oh, pregnant, restress born. There's
the stress flax care. Make sure you take your make sure her stress her
out, whatever she needs. She needs a glass of water at two in
the morning, get up and do it. She wants you to drop some
place because she's tired. Drive her that place. She wants you to do
the shoppingness, you do the shopping. You do what you gotta do to
reduce her stress. If you want a healthy baby, you need the healthy
mommy first. The biggest predictor of the health of the baby is the health
of the mother when she's pregnant. So the unhealthier you are, the higher
risk of neurologic conditions in your child, such as autism, such as add
ADHD, dyslexia, turets, aspergers. These are all childhood developmental delays that
are going to be aggravi aggravated by chemicals in the environment and stress of the
mother. Those are the two most important things for brain development. Right,
So we got to avoid all the chemicals preconception, we have to avoid all
the chemicals during pregnancy, and then the third step is to avoid all the
chemicals after the baby's born. And now is in the real world, right,
So the chemicals are controlled by the mother during pregnancy, but now after
birth. Everyone's got to participate. The mom, the dad, the baby,
the teachers, the babysitter, the grandparents. Everybody's got to participate.
Okay, it's all to everybody to work together to reduce the chemical exposure of
our children. There's so many chemicals all over the place, all starting from
the food. You've got to avoid those pesticides, in those herbicides. You've
got to avoid round up glyfeasay that is toxic, causes cancer. You need
to avoid all the food dyes. And I don't care what it is.
Red dye number six, yellow number two, blue number eight. Don't eat
anything with a color dye in it. You don't need it. Don't eat
anything with all these sugars high fructoast corn syrup and all these artificial sweeteners and
sweet and low and aspartame and diet coke and you know, splendid and all
these artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, artificial colorings, all bad. You know,
you get Snapple says made from the best stuff on earth, and it's
all artificial. I mean, even our unhealthy food is worse in America than
other countries. You know, pop tarts in America is worse than pop tarts
in London. Okay, Dorito's in Chicago is worse than Dorito's in Paris.
McDonald's in la is worse than McDonald's in China. Anything in America has the
worst ingredients. You know, coca cola in Miami is worse than coca cola
in Puerto Rico or the Dominican You just go a few miles away in the
Caribbean and it's different. You go to Mexico and it's different. You go
to South America, Europe, Asia, even the unhealthy food is much healthier.
I have siliac patients, which means they can't eat gluten that get really
sick in America, but can eat the gluten in Italy and be fine.
They can eat the gluten in Spain and be fine. Because it's not the
gluten. It's the chemicals that are in the food. It's the GMOs,
it's the cross breeding of the seeds, it's the soils that they use.
It's the pesticides and the herbicides. That's what makes our gluten in our wheat
products bad. That's what poisons our cereals. That's what makes our pasta horrible.
So it's not just what you eat, it where it comes from.
So avoid the chemicals so your brain can develop properly and doesn't get all this
inflammation, so that you can function better, feel better, and live better
life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan. You're listening to boost your brain power
more when we come back from the break. If you want to improve your
brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy,
depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches, brain fog,
weight loss, or simply want to maximize your human potential and prevent future diseases,
that this is the show for you. Don't misboost your brain power with
doctor Eric Caplan and you will learn natural, integrative and holistic approaches to modern
day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism, add concussion,
autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines, four posture pain,
TBI, skin and digestive problems. Doctor Caplin is most famous for getting to
the root cause of a wide variety of brain and health conditions, rather than
treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky soies. To contact the Doctor Kaplin,
you can call his team at two O one two six one two one five
zero or visit his website at kaplindc dot com. Function better, feel better
and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Aplan and you're listening to
boost your brain power. We're talking about autism and developmental delays. April is
Autism Awareness Month, and we want you to be aware of where autism comes
from and what you can do if God forbid, you have any family member
or friends or loved ones that have been diagnosed with this. The good news
is the brain can change. The brain is plastic, you can rewire it,
and you can improve the function of your brain. Right, if you
have a kid and their muscle is strenged, you're gonna tell them to exercise
that muscle. Now, if you have the same kid and their brain is
weak, what we have to do as a solution is exercise the brain.
However, in dealing with autism, most schools and doctors and parents go the
physical therapy root, the speech therapy root, the occupational therapy root. But
is that taking care of the root cause of autism, which is a brain
based condition. It's not. Now, that's the third phase. There's three
phases to help perverse autism and to help catch up the brain to development.
The good news is it can be done. You just have to do the
work. There's no magic pill that's going to cure autism. So they have
all these charities find the cure for autism. Let's find the cure. Let's
do this charity, Let's do all this research. They're never gonna find a
cure for autism. They're never gonna find a cure for cancer, They're never
gonna find a cure for diabetes, they're never gonna find a cure for heart
disease, and they're never going to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease. I
hate to be the bare or bad news, but it doesn't work like that.
You cannot cure these conditions. What you have to do is change your
body from the inside out so that the body can heal itself and the body
will reverse the condition. The brain will heal the condition. Not some pill,
some doctor, some process, some stem cell, some radiation, some
brain implant. Everyone's looking for the outside. Start looking from the inside,
especially with developmental delays, which are brain based condition, and almost always it's
the frontal cortex that is the weak area. So just like if a muscle's
weak, you're going to exercise it. If you have add ADHD, autism,
dyslexia, Turett's aspergers, what you have to do are brain exercises.
But there's three parts. The first part is called primitive reflex remediation exercises.
That's primitive reflex remediation exercises. Children with autism or add or asperger'sslexia, they
have retained primitive reflexes. What a retained primitive reflex is a reflex that's not
supposed to be there. You guys probably know when you go to the doctor
and they hit your knee and your leg kicks out. That's a reflex.
That's normal. We want that reflex. However, with autistic patients, they
have reflexes that aren't supposed to be there. They're called primitive reflexes. And
if you have these reflexes after one year of age, then it's abnormal.
If you have the reflex and you're younger than one year of age, that's
perfectly normal. You're gonna have these primitive reflexes. But if they continue to
occur after one year of age, that's how you're gonna know that your brain
is susceptible to autism, ADHD, add dyslexia, Aspergers turetts. If you
don't have these primitive reflexes remediated by one year of age, that then you
know the brain's underdeveloped. So for you to develop the brain, you got
to start with primitive reflexes remediation exercise, and I'm gonna tell you how to
do that. Just wait for the end. I'm gonna give you, guys
a solution how to figure out if you actually have these retained reflexes. This
is Abel Awareness Month, So we're gonna get you guys aware of autism,
where it comes from, what you could do to help your loved ones so
that they can improve their quality of life. Right, So it starts chemicals
right now. The first phase is the primitive reflexes. There are certain exercises
we could do in the office and we teach you how to do it at
home so that you can eliminate these primitive reflexes. So now the brain can
finally catch up to development. That's phase one, the primitive reflex remediation exercise.
Phase two to helping people with autism prove their quality of life is motor
and sensory input. Motor is movement. It might be some eye exercises,
might be some coordination exercises, some balance exercises, gate exercises, throwing the
ball, different types of motor activities. Now here's the deal. We might
focus them only on one side. Most autism has a decrease in the right
frontal cortex. Sometimes it's the left, but a lot of times it's the
right. After we do an evaluation, we could diagnose is it the right
side or is it the left side? Then we can be more specific.
But if you do the wrong side, you can make your child worse.
So we got to do an evaluation first and wait for the end of the
show. I'm going to tell you about the evaluation that we're offering. We're
gonna get a really good gift to you guys that you can take advantage of
at the end of the show. All right, So as far as the
motor movement, we gotta get the body move And the worst thing for autism
is just sitting working on their computer, being on the cell phone iPad scrolling
through. There's no movement. The brain will not develop without movement. You
use it or you lose it. Make sure you move your body if you
want a good healthy brain. If you have autism, you have to exercise.
If you have add ADHD, you gotta move your body. If you
have dyslexia, you gotta move Tourett's aspergers, you gotta move it. You
want your brain to get better, you gotta exercise, all right. So
that's the motor that's part two. Part one is remediation of the primitive deflexes.
After we do part one, now we can focus on motor type of
exercises that if it's the right brain, we're gonna do more motor exercises on
the left side of the body, so I might only have to do a
certain brain exercise using their left hand or their left foot to balance out the
brain. Because autism is what we call a functional disconnect syndrome where the left
and the right brain are not connecting properly. And if the right brain is
weak, we want to focus more exercises on the left side. So it's
not just going for a walk every day, but we got to do a
proper neurologic evaluation so we can see where the weakness because each child and adult
has different brains, so we have to really figure out where the weakness is
and then focus our energy on the weakness there. Right, So that's the
second phase is motor, and the second part of part two is sensory.
And what's sensory. It's lights, smells, sounds, tastes, touch,
many children with autism and developmental delays are very sensitive to lights and sounds and
touch, so we have to build up that system first. That's how we
have to do it in that specific order. Number one primitive reflexes. Number
two is motor and sensory, and number three is the behavioral, the impulse
control, the cognitive, this speech, the eye contact. That is the
third part. But most people are doing the third part last and it won't
work. So the first part is the remediation exercise. The second part is
motor exercises and sensory exercises. And if it's the right brain, we might
only do sound in the left side, or we might only do touch on
the left side to balance it out, because we need the left and right
brain equal. When you have autism, you have a functional disconnect syndrome where
there's an imbalance of the left and right brain, and you need to do
neurologic and brain exercises to balance out the brain so you function better, feel
better, and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan. You're
listening to boost your brain power. When we come back from the break,
we're going to go over solutions, and we're also gonna go over ways to
test so we know at what level the brain is functioning. And we're also
going to give a gift at the very end of the hour, so stick
around to take advantage of this great offer. We'll see you back after the
break. Don't miss boost your brain Power with doctor Eric Kaplan every Saturday from

and live a better life. We're talking about autism and ways to help
the brain function better so that the person who's diagnosed with all autism can improve
their quality of life. Now, one of the most important things with helping
with autism is the diet. You don't want to give inflammatory foods. Okay,
The big six inflammatory foods to avoid for autism are dairy, gluten,
corn, soy, caffeine, and sugar. Okay, And those are the
real foods. That's not even what we were talking about before, with avoiding
all the synthetic foods or the artificial flavors, the food dies. If you're
worried about your brain development, you've got to stay away from the food dies,
the preservatives, the artificial flavors and chemicals and sugar replacements and sweeteners.
And if you eat even more holistic and natural food we still got to avoid
all the dairy, all the gluten, all the corn, the soy,
the caffeine, the stimulants, the sugar, sugar replacements. I've seen kids
totally reverse their abnormal brain function in less than a month by changing their diet.
By avoiding all these horrible oils sunflower oil, sunflower oil, corn oil,
vegetable oil, canola oil. They're all toxic, they all cause inflammation,
so avoid those foods. If you have to use oil, you use
coconut oil or olive oil. But you gotta avoid almost all the oils.
You gotta avoid all the dairy products, the cheese, yogurt, butter,
creamy sauces, milk, any dairy products. They cause brain inflammation. You
have to avoid gluten. It's in bread and pasta and crackers and cereal and
toast and muffins and bagels and croissants and cake and cookies, candy, noodles,
grains, they're everywhere. You have to stay away from gluten. It's
also in alcohol, a lot of brain inflammation. They're gonna avoid dairy.
You're gonna avoid gluten and avoid corn corns everywhere. Also there's corn oil.
There's corn chips, tortilla chips, there's popcorn, there's tortilla wraps, and
not not even talking about corn on the cob or you know, the kernels
of corn. To all these fake products, and a lot of the stuff's
in the bags and the boxes and the cans. Stay away from all the
processed food. Stay on the outside of the supermarket, not all the internal
aisles where everything's packaged. That's where you're gonna find a lot of the gluten,
the corn, the dairy the soy. Yeah, soy is everywhere too.
There's soybean oil, there's soy sauce. Go to a restaurant, there's
soy everywhere. There's a mammae, there's you know, there's tofu and all
these vegetarian places are full of soy and tofu and bean curd, and you
know they all have these other names. So you gotta be careful. And
you know those fake veggie burgers and you know they're usually full of soy.
What is it the Impossible Burger or the Bulk of Burger or Morning Star.
There's a lot of these fake vegetarians. So, and you can be vegetarian
and be healthy, but just don't eat all this fake meat. You can
be vegetarian, you can be healthy, don't eat the fake meat. You
can be a carnivore and be healthy. Don't eat all the non organic and
they're vegienetically modified corn, and they're full of steroids and antibiotics and all these
hormones. And so there's there's lots of healthy ways to do anything. I
teach people how to be healthy no matter what you're doing. If you're a
vegetarian, I can teach you how to be a healthy vegetarian, your carnival,
I could teach you how to be a healthy carnivore. You do keto,
I can tell you how to do a healthy keto. You do palio,
I can teach you how to do a healthy palio. You want to
do adkins, I'll teach you how to do a healthy adkins. All these
fads. Not big fans of any of them. But what I am fan
of is just being healthy and living off the earth like they've done for thousands
of years. Okay, if you want your brain to get stronger, you
gotta do the work. You can't be lazy and just eat fast food,
fried food, microwave candy boxes. Can't do it. You gotta eat the
way they did hundreds of years ago. Live off the land. Okay,
that's how you're gonna be healthy. If you want to help with autism,
you gotta stop eating all these processed foods. You don't want all the cured
meats. There's too many chemicals. The first thing we spoke about is avoiding
chemicals, Avoiding medication, avoiding heavy metals, avoiding pollution. There's chemicals everywhere.
Avoid the plastics. It's plastic everywhere. When you come home from the
supermarket, put all the stuff out of your plastic beds into glass. And
to get off the chemicals, what you do is you take a big bowl,
fill it with water, put a bunch of baking soda in it.
Soak your fruits and vegetables everything for an hour. Then you rinse it off
and then store it in glass. That way it will last forever and you
get rid of all the chemicals. It won't last forever, but it'll less
much longer. Right, So, some people complain, Oh, I want
to buy organic, It gets bad so quickly. Not if you do this,
if you do the baking soda thing, if you're stored in glass,
do the right thing and try not to eat leftovers. Right. If you
eat rice and then the next day you feed your family leftover rice, you're
giving them yeast mold, fungus. Mold will literally grow on old rice more
than twenty four hours. It will grow uncut up garlic, It will grow
uncut up onions. So try not to keep reusing the leftovers. Use the
onion all on the first day. Only cook enough rice for one day.
Only use enough garlic for one day, because you don't want mold growing on
your food because if you eat it, it's gonna be microscopic. You won't
even see it. But then you get mold. Then you get yeast infections,
and you get fungus infections, and you get inflammation, brain irritation,
brain fog, memory problems, and it could lead to developmental delays like autism,
add ADHD, dyslexia, Aspergers, turetts. We don't want any of
that stuff. We don't want these developmental delays. So you gotta take care
of your brain. Everyone teaches you your whole life, rush your teeth,
exercise, eat your fruits and veggies, but nobody tells you how to exercise
your brain every day. Well that's where I come in. I'm the brain
expert. I've seen over one hundred thousand patients. I know how the brain
works, and I know that it could rewire through a process called neuroplasticity.
Don't accept that your brain will not get better. That is not true.
Your brain can improve. If you have autism, your brain can improve if
you're seventy years old. Your memory can improve as you get older. You
just got to do the work. Your vision can improve as you get older,
you just have to do the work. You can actually get taller as
you get older. You just have to do the work. Don't believe doctors.
Don't believe the news. Don't believe social media or TikTok that says your
brain gets worse as you get older, Your joints get more achy as you
get older, your vision gets worse as you get older. Those are all
lies. Don't believe it. The one percent. Don't be the ninety nine
percent. You want to be the ninety nine percent. Fine, you're gonna
get Alzheimer's. You're gonna get heart disease, you're gonna get cancer, obesity,
diabetes, you're gonna get sick. You're gonna be depressed. You're gonna
be in a wheelchair and a diaper in a nursing home. That's what everyone
else does. You want to be different. You want to be the one
percent who's one hundred years old and no diaper and no cane and no walker,
and no memory problems and no posture problems and no joint pains and no
glasses. Then you gotta be the one percent. Only that's only one percent.
But they do the work, and I'm here to teach you how to
do the work by rewiring your brain through neuroplasticity. If you do the work,
you will get the results. And I have a nine year old who
loves basketball, but he gets upset that he keeps missing. Is that the
only way you're gonna get better is you do the work. You're going to
practice, you're gonna study, You're got to be out on the court when
everyone else isn't working. If you do the work, then eventually you'll get
better. It might not be today, it might not be tomorrow, but
if you do it week after week after week after month after month after year
after year, everybody's brain is going to be getting worse, but yours will
be getting better so that you function better, feel better, and live better
life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boost your brain power

live a better life. This is doctor Eric Caplan and you're listening to boost
your brain power. We're talking about how to help with autism. Autism keep
growing and growing and growing, and a lot of people ask me, why
do I think the numbers are getting so high, And it's very simple.
More chemicals, more stress, more radiation. Those are the big three chemicals,
stress, and radiation. Where do we get the chemicals from. They're
from our foods, from our cookware, from our plastics. They're in the
water, they're in the air, they're on our clothes, they're on our
makeup and our cleaning supplies. They're everywhere. So you can't avoid all chemicals,
but avoid what you can now the stress. Live in a stressful world,
right, Everyone's stressed out. They're stressed out about Ukraine and Israel,
and they're stressed about inflation and political corruption and racism and police brutality and earthquakes
and eclipses and solar flares and floods and tsunamis and fires and murders and rapes
and violence and shootings and kids on drugs and fentanyl, and everybody's in stress
mode. You gotta turn off the news. Stop reading about this stuff,
Stop watching videos about it, stop watching television about it, stop reading the
newspaper about it, stop listening to the radio about it. Listen to stuff
that's going to help you. It doesn't do any good to hear about Russia
bombing Ukraine, or Hamas attacking Israel, or Israel bombing the Gaza strip or
learning about all the people that died from the tsunami, or you know,
that doesn't help you. Now, if you're going to, you know,
send some food to people who are starving, Okay, that's helping. If
you're gonna send clothes for people who are poor, Okay, that's helping.
If you're gonna get clean water to people who don't have water, okay,
now you're helping. You're not helping by just watching all the deaths and the
destruction. That doesn't do you good and it doesn't do them good. I
had a friend, he's a chef. When the war in Ukraine started,
he literally went to Poland and he cooked lots of food so that they could
be delivered to the people in Poland. He did something about it. I
have another friend. He goes and delivers water, and goes to these villages
where they don't have any clean water and brings these contraptions to clean water.
He's doing something active, and I promote that. I want you to be
very charitable, want you to volunteer and help. But finding out about how
many people died and how many you know, all these stories have, all
these people that are raped and killed, doesn't help you. If you want
to help, go and do something about it. But just reading about it,
watching videos, that's just gonna put you more in stress mode. So
unplug, turn off the news, unplug the computer, turn off your cell
phone, turn off the iPad and join us in the real world. Go
outside, walk the dog, you know, go hang out with a friend,
go shoot some basketball hoops, read a book, listen to some music,
sit outside on the deck and watch the sunset. Have a conversation with
the loved one. Join a group of book club, take up a hobby.
Do some stamp collecting, or get some damn lessons, or learn a
new musical instrument, or learn how to speak Mandarin. Do something other than
the electronics. All right, there's too much stress. Be more social.
The more isolation you are, the more stressed you are. You want to
reduce stress. Exercise. Find something that you like to do. If it's
something you don't like, you're not gonna be consistent with it. Okay,
you gotta find something that you like, whether it's dancing or tennis, pick
a ball, go into the gym, bike riding, hiking, power walking,
do something that you like. I don't care what it is, but
you need to exercise that's going to reduce stress. Do some breathing exercises.
The best breathing exercise to reduce stress is to inhale for four seconds, hold
it for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds. Another way to reduce
stress is cold water. Splash your face with cold water first thing in the
morning, last thing at night. End your shower with cold water. Dip
your head in a bucket of cold water that's fifty degrease fahrenheit. If you're
getting really anxious in your heart's beating super fast, you could actually dip your
head in cold water and that will reduce your heart rate immediately. That's just
a neurow hack. There's lots of ways to rewire your brain through neuroplasticity so
that you're not in stress mode now. You also have to avoid all the
radiation. Turn off Wi Fi, don't sleep next to your phone, don't
have anything plugged in while you sleep at night. Your bedroom should have no
electronics in it. If you need your phone for an alarm clock, put
it on the other end of the room so that when the alarm clock goes
off you have to get out of bed. Anyway, the worst thing is
to start a day with a snooze. That's a failure that's gonna make your
brain stressed. But you don't want any electricity, you don't want any radiation,
you don't want a computer in your room. You don't want a TV
in your room. You don't want your cell phone in your room. If
you need your cell phone, put it on airplane mode. Turn off the
Wi Fi, turn off the data, turn everything off. Put on your
alarm clock and keep it at the end of the room. You don't want
to wake up in the midnight and then turn on the phone and check the
time. That's not good either. Add you don't want to have any electronics
or radiation on the other side of your bedroom. So let's say if your
bedroom is connected on the other side, and you know, the refrigerators on
the other side, and the microwave ovens on the other side, and the
dishwasher, these big electronics, you know, are plugged in right on the
other side of the wall. That's not good either. Right, you don't
want to be next to, you know, an electricity tower or five G
tower. You know, these are a lot of electrical radiation. You want
to spend time in Starbucks where everyone's on Wi Fi. You don't want to
spend time in big cities where the radiation is very big. You know,
the further you are away from the city, the less radiation you're going to
get. Right, So you might even want to consider moving out of a
city. If you have a child with autism and you're in the city,
there's more pollution, more chemicals, more stress, and more radiation that you
can possibly imagine. And those are the big three chemicals, Stress, electromagnetic
frequencies, radiation. Don't microwave your food. If you need to talk on
the phone, use a wire or go on speaker phone, and try and
keep your electronic device at least six feet away from you, but minimums six
in. Now, how do you know if your brain is functioning well?
And how do you know which areas of the brain aren't functioning well? And
we're gonna give a gift. And what we're gonna do is offer you three
neurologic evaluations and I'm gonna explain each one and tell you what the gift is.
Okay, The first brain evaluation is called a qEEG brain mapping, and
you wear a cap and it has all these different brainways alpha, beta,
theta, delta, and it tells us which areas of the brain are functioning
well and which areas are not. It's gonna tell us you have sleeping difficulties.
Do you have anger aggression, sleep deprivation, insomnia. Do you have
worry? You have high stress cortisol levels? Is you're adrenaline going too much?
Do you have not enough a ceocholine or dopamine? Do you have a
thyroid problem. Do you have an adrenal problem? Do you have intestinal inflammation?
Do you have troubles with motivation, organization, planning, language, depression,
anxiety, headaches, dizziness. Do you have low energy? Do you
have visual problems? Do you have problems with organization, executive function, losing
things? Do you have memory problems? The brain waves will be measured and
can literally tell us where the abnormal areas are. That's called a q EEG
brain mapping. Okay, that test is normally five hundred dollars, but we're
going to do a special and if you stick around for a minut I'm gonna
give you the phone number and contact information. Instead of paying the five hundred
dollars, you only have to pay twenty one dollars. The second test is
the VNG. Remember when we talk about autism and dyslexia and add and ADHD
and Turetts and Aspergers I said, we have to figure out which side is
deficient because it's a functional disconnection. Is it the right side that's weak or
is it the left side that's weak. The VNG is the best test for
that. That's where you wear these little goggles. You follow this red dot
and it goes fast and slowing up and down and open and close, And
that way we're able to see is the right brain underactive or is it the
left brain that's underactive. So it could really tell us the imbalance or the
functional disconnect between the right and the left side. So therefore we could give
you the appropriate therapeutic recommendations to even out the weaker side. That's called a
VNG. That test is normally five hundred dollars, but we're also giving a
gift where you can get that one for twenty one dollars as well. The
third test is a one on one with me. That's where I go over
the qEEG, I go over the VNG, I go over the blood work.
I'll do the primitive reflexes to see if you have any of those remediation
exercises that are necessary. We'll go over the motor and sensory and the vision
and the balance and the coordination, the reflexes, the muscle strength, the
posture, the heart, the gut, the lungs. It's all important,
the circulation, the muscles, the nerves, the tendons, the ligaments.
It's a full evaluation normally five hundred dollars, but for the first first seven
people to call, text or email, you could get that for twenty one
dollars as well. You could do all three the qEEG for twenty one dollars,
the VNG for twenty one dollars, and the one on one for twenty
one dollars as well. The reason I'm doing this is because this is just
an easy barrier for you to come in where you can get acquainted with us
at the office and see if it's a good fit for you. If it's
not, there's no obligation. You can do all the tests and you never
have to come back. But we want to put any stress on you.
We want to give you an easy barrier to come in just so you can
meet us, me, my staff and the patients get your brain analyzed.
I'll give you my suggestions and it's up to you whether you want to follow
through. There's no commitment that's necessary, but I'm just doing this. That's
such a nice offer and a gift to you, just so we can get
acquainted and see if this is a good fit for you. Because remember,
I'm not a doctor that's gonna give you the medication. I don't prescribe you
riddling And you know xanax and sleeping pills and anti depressants, anti anxiety,
do not come to me. If you want those pills, don't come to
me. If you want electrical shock therapy, if you want injections, if
you want all these herbs and supplements, if you want surgeries, deep brain
stimulation, that's not me. I'm very holistic, very natural. I'm a
minimalist. I believe that the body can heal on its own as long as
we get rid of the interference. So instead of covering up symptoms with herbs
and supplements and medications and pills and injects, I'm going to get to the
root cause of the problem by doing these brain evaluations. All you have to
do is be one of the first seven people to call, text or email.
