Autism Spectrum Disorder in Racine, WI

Approximately 1 in 68 children has some form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Though we typically think of children when we think of ASD, this condition, named for a group of developmental disorders, affects more than 200,000 people per year, from infants to seniors.

Autism is a very complex disorder manifested in forms ranging from mild to severe, determined by the functioning level of the individual. Symptoms and their severity can vary with each individual, including ongoing social problems such as difficulty communicating, problems with social interactions, obsessive interests, and repetitive behaviors. ASD symptoms are typically recognized in earlier years of childhood. Early recognition and appropriate early intervention may reduce symptoms and support development and learning.

Utilizing an evidence based, integrative approach, our goal of ASD treatment is to support the whole body, immune and neurological. Dr. Byron assigns treatments and therapies tailored to each patient based on varying degrees of severity determined by extensive laboratory testing.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) in Racine, WI

Nutritional balancing using HTMA is a system of healing that progressively developed over the past 50 years by multiple practitioners such as William Albrecht in organic agriculture, Dr. Watts, Dr. Paul Eck, and Dr. L. Wilson, to name a few.

A key to healing by nutritional balancing is to remineralize the body. Minerals are the spark plugs of life. When people think of essential nutrients they immediately think of vitamins. However, vitamins do not work without minerals! Routine blood work does not work to assess one’s mineral status. Having balanced mineral levels in the body allows you to have an optimized metabolism and high energy output that leads you to feeling not just good, but GREAT!

If minerals are so important, why has your doctor not discussed this with you? Mineral testing done by conventional doctors checks just a few minerals in the blood (serum) such as sodium, potassium, and calcium. Did you know that only 1% of the minerals in your body are located in your blood? Ninety-nine percent of your minerals are located in your tissues such as bone, hair, liver, heart, thyroid and adrenal glands, etc.

Mineral ratios on hair tissue mineral analysis have special meanings. Did you ever ask why thyroid tests are always normal despite having many of the symptoms? The thyroid gland is regulated by the calcium-to-potassium ratio and the adrenal glands are assessed utilizing the sodium-to-magnesium ratio. Knowing the status of the calcium-to-potassium ratio often will determine the true status of the thyroid gland, for example.

Hair Mineral Analysis testing provides a vivid picture of your internal environment and how efficiently your body is working for you. Dr. Byron’s expertise in hair mineral analysis interpretation provides information and tools for highly customized treatment plans for each individual patient.

Gut Health in Racine, WI to Maintain Your Balance

Our gut feeds us, protects us from invaders (immune system), detoxifies, digests and absorbs minerals, and produces all of our vitamins. Our gut and brain are derived from the same embryonic tissue, thereby establishing the brain-gut connection. Our gut is our second brain.

Have you ever had a "gut feeling"? Did you know that 90% of the serotonin in your body is located in your gut? The gut holds 80% of our immune system including housing our tonsils, appendix, etc).

Is your gut landscape healthy? A healthy gut looks like a thick forest with tall trees covered in a thick band of bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, parasites, and protozoa. Without this thick band of well-balanced microflora, we would perish. Do you have a healthy gut flora? Is there yeast overgrowth or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)? Do you have to take antacids for symptoms of heartburn?

You are what you eat and digest. Are you extracting the nutrients from whole foods to recharge and reenergize your body? Are you producing enough digestive enzymes to break down your food? Did you know that all enzymes are made of minerals? If you are mineral deficient then it is nearly impossible to digest you food.

It is imperative that we understand the importance of the role of our gut and immune system. If you want to achieve optimal health you must embark on a program to enhance detoxification, in large part, by optimizing gut and liver health.

Managing and treating gut related conditions often require a unique approach. Dr. Byron's goal is to function as your gut police captain to allow your gut to serve, protect, and detoxify optimally, guiding you towards proper digestive health and improved quality of life.
