NEW AUTISM CLINIC IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY TO OPEN IN THE FALL

Affiliated with LIVING WELL TODAY, LLC, the new clinic will offer a complete package of services for the autistic child, including assessment of their progress by occupational therapists in two to three week intervals, and a feeding therapy program for those with sensory or oro-motor issues.  We plan to be affiliated with a medical doctor and offer medical billing services.  Connected to the clinic will be a 2400 sq ft. playroom open to the public on weekends and three days of each business week. 

The frontline therapies offered will be nutrigenomics, DAN! Doctor biomedical intervention and sound therapy. Except in rare cases, our treatment plans do not use pharmaceuticals or chelation therapy. Since 2002, Living Well Today, LLC (located near John Rolfe Parkway), has repaired autistic children using nutrigenomics and other treatment protocols under the care of the company founder, Michael Payne, MS, CRC,CNS.  Michael is a DAN! Doctor and a prominent name within the autism community; he currently conducts a TV internet show on the AutismOne website and has appeared on numerous radio talk shows over the years.  Michael Payne and Living Well Today are not well known in the Richmond community because he has never had the need to advertise his business. Through his involvement with AutismOne, he has served over 2000 patients across the nation and abroad. He will continue to treat autism patients in his main office on Cambridge Rd. using newer and more alternative techniques he has developed in recent years. Michael will detail some of newer treatments as one of the speakers at the Autism Recovery Conference coming to Richmond in early August. His business is full and he is booked to overflowing, so he co-partnered with Dr. Kathy Paine, a PhD chemist, to move the nutrigenomics and biomedical intervention into a new clinic to address just the Richmond autistic community.  Kathy’s own daughter had autism and was significantly repaired using nutrigenomics under Michael Payne’s care.  She is only two-thirds of the way through the program and Kathy expects a full recovery for Julia.  Michael’s expertise in functional medicine will be a valuable resource to the new clinic, but the new company will have its own set of healthcare professionals and is poised to work more closely with the medical community.

A.R.C. 2011 The first Autism Recovery Conference in Richmond Virginia, sponsored by Living Well Today

“Our first step in introducing our business to the Richmond Community is to bring together a conference of speakers whose work will be carried out at the clinic or whose ideas will be used in some fashion to enact favorable progress in Richmond ASD children”, says Kathy Paine, the conference Director.   This conference will take place on August 2 and run through August 4 at the Holiday Inn Koger Center near Chesterfield Towne Center.   Please go to http://autismrecovery2011.weebly.com/ to read about the conference details, the speaker times and topics.  You must register online, no tickets will be available at the door.  The cost of admission is inexpensive, ~ $30.00 per open ticket which allows you to attend as many sessions as you like.  All sessions will be videotaped so you may purchase the DVD’s online if you cannot attend the conference or your time is limited to one session.

The first keynote speaker will be Dorinne Davis from northern New Jersey, a trained audiologist with over 40 years of experience and nearly twenty years in treating autism with the TREE OF SOUND ENHANCEMENT THERAPY. Ms. Davis is the founder of THE DAVIS CENTER and she will be affiliating with the new clinic to provide an Outreach Facility so that families can stay in Richmond to receive her services.  Go to her website at www.thedaviscenter.com to learn more about sound therapy and how this program is fundamentally different from The Listening Program or other sound therapies traditionally offered through occupational services.  ASD children have hearing impairments and imbalances in the autonomic nervous system where sound therapy addresses that through strengthening the middle and inner ear muscles using filtered and gated music through headphones.  The vagus nerve governs involuntary body functions such as heart rate and peristalsis; it is connected at the cochlea behind the eardrum and travels to all organs in the body and to the ganglia in the spine and brain stem. Toning up of the vagus nerve through beat frequencies and gated music enables brain repatterning which produces lasting change  in the symptoms of ASD, sensory and feeding issues, to name a few. Dorinne Davis will be offering an initial assessment of your child’s hearing impairment (the DETP, a one hour commitment) for three days of the conference at a cost of ~$600 and you must attend her Tuesday night presentation to qualify for the service.  There are only 24 spaces for this service at the conference, the next time Dorinne Davis will be offering the assessment in Richmond is in early December 2011.  Reserve your space now and pay only after you have seen Dorinne’s talk and want to commit.  Please contact The DAVIS CENTER, (1-862-251-4637) if you want to reserve your space at ARC-2011.  In the event of overwhelming response for the DETP, families will be selected on a first come, first serve basis, to be overflowed into the December outreach.  The Tree of Sound Enhancement protocol has produced significant to near full recovery in ASD kids in 70% of the cases brought to The Davis Center since 1992.

Our second keynote speaker will be Dr. Kathy Paine, manager and founder of the new Living Well Today clinic.  She will speak specifically on the nutrigenomics program, the mechanics of how it works with easy to understand examples and the outcomes she experienced with her daughter and others.

Nutrigenomics is the science of applying specific bionutrients and amino acids that are found in low concentrations through a gene assay of the metabolic cycles and analysis of urine tests.  The minerals and vitamins that are needed are based on each child’s DNA, a personalized and unique approach to tackle autism and any disorder of the metabolism: this is functional medicine.  Supplying the correct bionutrient with the right co-factors engenders dramatic improvements in autism symptoms and developmental delays within three days of taking a supplement.  Removing toxic metals from the body is a necessary step in detoxification, feeding/sensory problems, and getting the metabolism to run efficiently again.  It is accomplished through clathration, RNA technology and herbs.  Chelation is too aggressive and removes nutrient metals as well as toxic metals. Using chelation the child regresses to tantrums and is unmanageable due to lack of magnesium and zinc, key metals needed for enzymatic reactions in the body.   It’s too hard on the child and it’s too hard on the parent. Clathration captures only those metals of sufficient ionic size to fit within the “basket” of the zeolite used as an sublingual supplement.  Toxic metals such as mercury, lead and arsenic are selectively removed from the body in this manner.

We expect the combination of nutrigenomics with Sound Therapy to cut recovery time significantly.  You can’t address sensory problems sufficiently without removing the metals from the body and sometimes that’s hard to accomplish using a biomedical approach alone.  That’s where combining the functional medicine with BioAcoustics, another sound therapy that uses beat frequencies, to accomplish a metal flush becomes valuable.   Nutrigenomics addresses the biochemical deficits of metabolism and brain chemistry and Sound Therapy tones the vagus nerve and coordinates the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.  Together they should make recovery times significantly less or even get ”hard to move” autism patients responding.  They will certainly make occupational therapy and ABA services go much more quickly and more easily carried out.  And just hopefully, they will allow the autistic spectrum kids to graduate beyond the Faison and the Dominion schools to be mainstreamed, contributing members of our society.

We’re doing it for the kids! (and the parents)
