Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is based on the most recent research that proves developmental disorders are not just a disorder of the brain, but a disorder that affects the brain. We understand that poor detoxification pathways –– too much garbage going in and not enough garbage going out –– seems to be the fundamental problem.

Our findings suggest the main factor responsible for developmental disorders is
Bio-Stress.

What is Bio-Stress? 

Simply put, Bio-Stress is when the organs and systems are under stress. This means that when too many stressors are placed on the the body, the body can’t muster enough cellular energy to manage itself effectively.

What Causes Bio-Stress?

Bio-Stress can occur from many different causes. The primary cause is over-exposure to toxins, such as heavy metals, the over-use of pharmaceutical interventions, pesticides, air pollution and much more. Bio-Stress occurs when too many of these toxins invade and overwhelm the body.

Bio-Stress can also be trans-generational, which means that they are passed from mother to child. A mother's toxic body burden can actually be passed on in the womb and through breast milk. The baby, in effect, is assuming some of the mother's toxic load.

The Healthy Body

The most important detoxification organ in the body is the liver. The liver has many functions including aiding in digestion, blood sugar regulation, producing vitamin D, controls hormones and filters toxic chemicals from the body. It is essential that the liver is working properly to maintain a healthy body.

Once food is stored in the stomach, the liver produces bile, and together with help from the pancreas, break down food into tiny particles. The nutrients the body needs is absorbed into the small intestine, moves into the bloodstream, and fuels all systems of the body. Once again, the liver moves into action, filtering the toxic chemicals from the bloodstream to the eliminative organs, which excrete all waste products via the stool and urine.

The Toxic Body

If a body becomes toxic, the overwhelming amount of toxins make it difficult for the liver to break them all down properly. Slowly these toxins begin to build up and overload the system, compromising the organs. The eliminative organs eventually become clogged filters.

Once the toxic build-up begins in the walls of the intestines, the body becomes fatigued,  and  falls prey to the over-growth of micro-organisms, such as yeast/fungus, parasites, bacteria and viruses. The more toxic the body becomes, the greater the microbial environment.  This is the reason why most autistic children have an extremely high yeast count.  The fungal form of yeast grows root-like tentacles that drills deep into the lining of the intestinal wall, creating holes in the gut.

The Effects

Due to the "Leaky Gut Syndrome", the child's fuel metabolism can become compromised. If the food is not digested and absorbed properly, the child may experience nutrient deficiencies. The body and brain can actually begin to starve as the body’s energy system diminishes because of the leaky gut symptoms.  In short, a percentage of the food the child eats is not properly converted into the energy the child needs for optimal body and brain functioning.  

Repercussions of the child's toxic load can create or contribute many health conditions, such as:

  • Diminished Brain Function
  • Hypoglycemia
  • Inflammation
  • Immune Dysfunction
  • Stomach Problems/Diarrhea
  • GI Problems
  • Attention Deficit
  • Eating Disorders
  • Sleep Disorders
  • Overload of Yeast/Fungus

The Symptoms

When the child's brain suffers from the dimished amount of nutrients due to the LGS, it is as if the child is living in a fog. All organs and systems are negatively affected, included the Central Nervous System. The child can begin to display behavior issues, such as frequent tantrums, hyperactivity, repetitive behaviors, sensory and social interaction disorders. Combined with stomach problems, food allergies, an overload of yeast and fungus and other disorders, the child's brain and body are actually at risk.

Other Treatments 

Merely plugging in vitamins or suppressing symptoms will temporarily remedy the problem, but it is not getting to the etiology of the disorder. We need to ask the questions, “Why does the child have a fungal problem?”  or,  “Why can’t this child break-down his/her vitamins properly?”  Getting to the source of the issue means getting to the toxins. However, aggressive and harsh detoxification treatments can be very stressful on a child, both physically and mentally, if their eliminative organs are blocked.  Finding the safest and most effective method of removing those toxins, such as heavy metals and chemicals, is critical when dealing with extremely compromised children. 

How Does the Children's Excel Center Accomplish Wellness?

We strive to bring the body into optimal health. This is accomplished through repairing and rebuilding the eliminative organs through proper diet, body work, vitamins, minerals and cellular energy. 

Our next step is to Open the Channels of Elimination -- to enable deeper detoxification. This is accomplished through our specially formulated drainage protocols, combined with infra-red sauna treatments, footbaths and other complementary methods. Once the body is ready, the child can begin our cellular detoxification protocol. Using our unique treatments and programs, we extend to deep energetic levels to release the body from its overload of toxins, via our Cellular Detoxification Program. After this phase, we focus on rebuilding the body with either HBOT therapy, IV treatments , PK Pushes, etc. depending on lab results and the clinical observations of the child. Our team of practitioners will continuously monitor the child during all phases of the protocol.

Our incredible success rate has proven without a doubt that Opening the Channels of Elimination is a vital component to enabling the body to remove the toxins safely and effectively.
