The Sichel Protocol; Practitioner Manuel for successful ASD treatment

Michael Sichel DO, ND, PhD has been treating Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) since 1992. A former Olympian and founder of the Fountaindale Clinic in New South Wales Australia, Michael is a devoted practitioner of Alternative medicine. He has a strong background in the successful treatment of children that have appeared untreatable.

Many of his patients are the children of parents that have backgrounds in mainstream medicine. As his reputation for success spread throughout Australia and New Zealand Michael found himself in this unique position of treating children of mainstream with his Alternative methods. Those of us that have been fortunate enough to find this wonderful man and his treatment here in the United States can confirm that this treatment plan does indeed work for our children that we once thought had no hope.

The Sichel Protocol is a guide for Practititioners’ of Alternative medicine and mainstream medicine alike. This Manuel explains in detail what works and how to use it. Your physician or practitioner will be guided through the process and understand why certain steps should apply depending on the individual case. What to look for and what to expect as you move through the plan is always good as there are times that adjustments need to be made. And Michael fully deals with anything that may arise and explains what adjustments are required.

Heavy metals have been found to be the prime contributor to the majority of ASD cases. It is understood by Michael that majority does not mean all. And he also covers this situation. He details what type of testing or analysis should be done to begin. Many doctors have dismissed hair analysis due to the fact that up to 70% of the children show acceptable levels of metals in this initial analysis. Unfortunately this is where many make the first mistake as moving on with the plan shows that after the initial Australian Chelation (3 to 4 weeks) another analysis will show that the levels have grown as the body begins to expel these metals.

As Zinc is an important metal Michael explains how to ensure that the patient’s levels need to be maintained during this chelation process as this depletion could result in other problems. Michael explains the gut or intestinal tract issues and what course of action needs to be taken as 70% of the immune system function is here. A high priority on methylation disruption is also dealt with as this too has a determination on success.

No rock, stone or pebble is left unturned as Michael has explored every nuance of ways to achieve the desired results. And unlike the mainstream pharmaceutical treatments that are lifelong in most cases and very expensive. This treatment attacks the cause and so eliminates the symptoms and therefore will be much cheaper in the long run.

I would hope that one day mainstream medicine will embrace the idea of eliminating causes and stop this never ending symptom relief that is the major reason why our healthcare costs are so immense in the United States. Why we choose to just keep popping pill after pill sometimes requiring another pill to relieve the adverse effects of the first pill? I have not understood this as in reality you have become sicker than when you started.

The Sichel Protocol is not for the general public however if you would wish for your doctor or practitioner to have it you may purchase it at www.adhdspecialist.com, or you could tell them where to find it. The book How to repair children damaged by Mercury, Medicine and Politics will be available by May 2007. This book is for those seeking the answers to the puzzle that has long been our children and is co-authored by Michael and myself. It is a companion to the Protocol and allows parents to understand why and how the process works. You will also learn the reasons this was allowed to happen.
