International Meeting for Autism Research reports latest on autism causes and treatments

900 research and educational presentations, lectures and panel discussions including 30 presentations/demonstrations on innovative technologies for autism

CHICAGO, IL – The 8th Annual International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) will host more than 1500 researchers, delegates, autism specialists, and students in the world's largest gathering of researchers and clinicians devoted to a better understanding of autism. The meeting will be held at the Hilton Chicago Hotel from May 6-9, 2009. Meeting sponsors include Autism Speaks, the Simons Foundation, the Autism Society of America and the National Institutes of Health.


Attendance at this year's meeting is up more than 20 percent from the previous year, reflecting heightened interest and more awareness of this disorder that is now recognized to affect up to one in 150 children in the United States and an estimated one percent of individuals worldwide.
Current research on autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) involves sophisticated behavioral, genetic and biological approaches that require interdisciplinary research collaborations to gain comprehensive knowledge of the disorder. Scientists at IMFAR will discuss and disseminate the latest scientific findings aiming to stimulate research progress toward a better understanding of the nature, causes and treatment options for ASDs.


By bringing together both clinicians and research scientists, IMFAR provides a unique opportunity to foster international dialogue across various disciplines and methods.



This year's meeting includes over 900 research and educational presentations, lectures and panel discussions. In addition, there will be a new feature: a daylong demonstration of the latest Innovative Technologies for Autism on Friday, May 8 from 9:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.

It takes hundreds if not thousands of experts in brain fuction ,biological studies,psychiatrists ,therapist,biology expertsETC>>>...To try and figure our Gods creation . Meaning our kids brain mapping and fuction , The big question is WHY?>>> and HOW?>>> ..It is about time that science starts to see things only a hand full of scientists saw back in the the 1950's.

Dr. Rimland's determination was spawned by his own son's diagnosis of autism, at age two, in 1958. After this discovery, and convinced by his research, Rimland fought hard in the 1960's to advance the cause of early behavioral intervention (commonly known as ABA). While most mainstream professionals rejected it, today - four decades later - they fully accept its value. Now Rimland and his colleagues (who believe that drugs too often cause more harm than good) are pioneering the use of laboratory tests to identify problems in children's metabolism which can be corrected through the use of diets, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other safe and natural substances normally present in the body.

Defeat Autism Now! is dedicated to the exploration, evaluation, and dissemination of scientifically documented biomedical interventions for individuals within the autism spectrum, through the collaborative efforts of clinicians, researchers, and parents.

There is yet another area in which the authorities have again been shown to be wrong-an area which has been given far too little attention. Despite the sacred cow status of vaccines, the truth must be told: Not only has the safety of vaccines been vastly overstated, so has their efficacy. Vaccines are nowhere near as effective in preventing diseases such as measles, pertussis, polio and smallpox as the drug companies, the professional medical associations, the FDA, and the CDC would have you believe.

Parents are in a constant battle with their child pediatrician about their clear IGNORANCE!! on how to detect or treat AUTISM. Autism is a neurological and biological disorder that can be treated to a certain extent. Our number one healer is the Lord the one who created us and our kids .

This hand full of scientist are taking a look at how our body has been created and how it works and how it has the capacity to heal its own self . And is only obvious that it is the hand of God who is being placed on these kids bodies when we see healing happening when we remove certain foods when we make changes in habit like the way we cook our food or the cleaning products we chose to clean our home and how we chose to control how the vaccines are being given to our kids.


These kids are here for a very special reason , That is to open our minds to the possibility to live better and healthier life's . We struggle every single day as we get older with heart disease, hypertension , etc. it all comes down on exercise and the food we eat every single day .


We have been created in God's image that means we are meant to be perfect . Our bodies can take only 100% natural substances to help its natural process of digestion .

Psalms 103:2-4

2 Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-
3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your
life from hell ,and crowns you with love and compassion,

Lets never forget to first place the Lord and our Prayers may always be sent to him before we start anything with our kids . As we set ourselves to healing their perfect bodies .
