INSPIRING MOMS
AUTISM ONE 2008 CONFERENCE, MAY 21-25, 2008, CHICAGO, IL, www.autismone.org

Sonja Hintz, RN, BSN has worked with children with disabilities since the age of twelve. Professionally she worked as a public health nurse, a psychiatric nurse, and a neonatal intensive care nurse. Currently she is working at True Health Medical Center with Dr. Anju Usman. With the birth of her second child, Sonja was compelled to reevaluate her traditional based medical paradigms to meet the needs of her son, who was on the autism spectrum by the age of three. Through the use of a therapeutic diet, homeopathy, herbs, vitamins, essential oils, and chelation, in addition to many other therapies, he has made a recovery. For the last 10 years she has applied what she has learned to help other children improve their quality of life.
Sonja Hintz, RN, BSN and Tracy Ziemann, PA-C present (Sat., May 24):
Using Labs to Manage Your Child's Biomedical Program and Interpret the Results

Laurette Janak is a parent-researcher and mother of a special-needs child (Down syndrome, ASD, leukemia). She has worked alongside such notable researches as Dr. S. Jill James in illuminating the similarities in the biochemistry of Down syndrome to those of autism. Laurette is acknowledged in the Environmental Working Group report entitled Overloaded: New Science, New Insights about Mercury and Autism in Susceptible Children.
Laurette presents (Wed., May 21): A Common Thread to Illness.
Are there similarities in the metabolic profiles between autistic children and their parents, especially moms? Might this predispose you to depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia or Alzheimer's? If so, is there anything you can do about it? Laurette Janak, a parent-researcher, who herself has recovered from CFS/FM, will explore these questions in a three-part series. Part 1: Biochemistry Made Ridiculously Simple. Utilizing pictures along with simple analogies, the participant will get an understanding of the biochemical terms to be used in this lecture as well as throughout the conference. Part 2: Findings in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. This section presents the many abnormal findings in CFS/FM that prove these disorders are not “all-in-your-head”. Part 3: Making Things Better. This gives details on how to start the recovery process and minimize risk for progression to other disorders.

Kristi Chrysler's background in Sports Medicine launched her desire for health and wellness. She extended her education traveling coast-to-coast learning all she could in pursuit of recovering her son from autism after being told to institutionalize him. Since embarking upon such an education and bringing herself and her children to various realms of recovery, she has now become a Certified Health Coach helping others achieve their own personal wellness. But first and foremost, she is a busy homeschooling mother of five children. Her children have suffered and recovered from autism, allergies, ADHD, asthma, and eczema. She has recovered herself from lupus and migraines. Kristi also has a son with celiac disease controlled strictly by diet and nutrition. www.DestinyNewLife.com.
Kristi presents (Sat., May 24): Homeschooling Challenging Children.
All children are “special” but some of our children can be tough, taxing and trying. Whether you have a special needs child, a strong-willed child, an injured or dyslexic child, God does allow all things to work together for good - both ours and our children's if we let Him. By pulling from 14 years of experience homeschooling her autistic son (now recovered), her daughter who suffered cerebellar apraxia (swelling on the brain), along with a few other obstacles with her other children, Kristi has traveled coast-to-coast studying how to teach in trying circumstances with tenuous testing. She will share all that she's gleaned from a vast array of professionals, therapists, doctors, etc., enabling you to gain hope and practical application for your “special” children. You will come away refreshed and ready to tackle this awesome opportunity of homeschooling regardless of the challenge you have before you.

Jane Sparks RN has over 17 years experience as an ER and ICU nurse. She is the parent of two affected children. One of her sons is now recovered and her youngest, age 6, is recovering. She is co-founder and full-time biomedical practitioner at the Autism Recovery and Comprehensive Health (ARCH) Medical Center.
Vicki Martin RN is on staff at the ARCH Medical Center. She is the parent of an 11-year old daughter with autism who was a poor responder to biomedical intervention. Ms Martin has used the Defeat Autism Now! approach for over 10 years and specializes in helping parents negotiate the maze of available options to choose the most effective treatments. She is certified in multiple educational interventions for spectrum disorders and is a strong advocate for all individuals with autism, especially those more severely affected. Her own daughter, who is non-verbal, recently found her “voice” by using RPM (Rapid Prompting Method), and her health is greatly improved as a result of biomedical interventions.
Jane, Vicki, and Gregory Brown, MD, Medical Director of ARCH Medical Center and A & M Hyperbarics, present (Sat., May 24):
A Parent's Survival Guide to Biomedical Therapy in Autism Spectrum Disorders.
