Our precious little daughter, Anna Starr, suffered from the most serious type of epilepsy. We were offered very little hope by many medical doctors. Through our interventions, care, and medical attention she achieved a level of functioning that far surpassed anyone’s expectations. We are compelled to bring these treatments to peoples attention, so their children can shine as our Anna did.
Mission:
Develop alternative and complementary treatment strategies for children with neurological disorders in order to improve the quality of life of these children and their families.
Goals:
Achieve greater awareness and acceptance of alternative treatments in the general medical community.
Facilitate collegial relationships between medical and alternative treatment providers as well as provide funding for continuing research.
Educate parents and the medical community about alternative treatment.
Identify the most effective treatments for neurological disorders through research and methodical scientific investigation.
Who we help:
Children from 0-6 years old with epilepsy, pervasive developmental disorders, and/or heavy metal toxicity.
What we believe:
- If addressed early with diet, nutritional supplementation, and alternative treatment, and medication; children with severe neurological conditions can significantly improve their quality of life.
- There is a great need to determine which treatments work for a specific individual child.
-
Clinicians and parents should become aware of the multitude of research based treatment options available for their child.
How we intend to accomplish this:
-
Research: Conducting high-level research in the areas of Nutrition, Neurofeedback, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
- Treatment: Offering no cost treatment to children who qualify.
- Education: Lectures, Internet, Publications
