An Individualized Approach
to Autism
•
Adaptability of the program for integration into other autism programs that
individuals may already be using. Two in depth case studies to illustrate the
practical dynamics of following the Yasko protocol
••
The second hour will be devoted to looking at several of the pieces of the
puzzle of autism, again with an eye toward dovetailing this program with
other existing therapies.
•
The third hour of the symposium will focus on the nutrigenomic aspects of
the Yasko program with specific examples of the use of biochemical
feedback to monitor progress based on a program of supplementation
designed around nutrigenomic testing.
•
The remaining time will be allocated for questions and answers.

STEP ONE
What we call “Step One” in the program is basically
balancing glutamate and gaba along with general organ
support. I have picked some examples of those who
posted on the discussion group
(www.ch3nutrigenomics.com) with
very positive changes just from Step 1.

each other on the site not for promoting the program so I
will only show you posts where we have received
express permission to share the content, we will not use
any names, but I did want to give examples of those
children that were able to benefit simply from Step One
support to illustrate the utility of Step One for integration
into other programs.

she
took pottying a step further. Rather than asking me for help,
goes by herself.
I have not witnessed this, but being part mom and
part detective, I draw my conclusions from the evidence in the
bathroom and other parts of the house.
Today she used an entire roll of toilet paper and put it all in
the toilet. It was a terrible mess and I could not be happier!!! Not
she is wiping and flushing too!
only is she going independently,
Hopefully hand-washing is next.
The information I have found on this message board has been extremely
helpful! Thanks to Dr. Yasko and everyone who shares their knowledge!!
XOXOXO’s mom,
My daughter has made many gains since starting Step 1. The
very happy little girl
best part is watching her transform into a
who, only recently, discovered the joys of being a "Daddy's Girl."
(increased comprehension,
There are many other positives
potty training, more language).
In fact, there are too many to
mention. So... since a picture's worth a thousand words, I would like to
share some with you.

feedback offered in this forum.
