Healing Autism Through a Mother’s Biomedical Journey

In this episode of 'Finding Hope on the Spectrum,' Brooke interviews Amanda Crowell, an RN, BSN, and mother of special needs children, about her journey from traditional nursing to advocating for integrative and biomedical approaches to autism. Amanda shares her personal story of her children's health challenges and developmental regressions, which she ties to their 12-month vaccinations. She describes how her quest for answers led her to holistic and integrative treatments that significantly improved her children's conditions. Amanda also discusses the importance of diet, reducing toxins, sleep, and gut health. Additionally, she emphasizes the significance of working with MAPS (Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs) doctors and highlights current research findings linking vaccines to increased risks of neurodevelopmental disorders. The episode aims to inspire and educate parents and professionals about alternative healing paths for children with autism.
