Families worldwide are benefiting from biomedical and integrative intervention. In the case of autism, thousands of children have all but lost their diagnosis. Click here to see dozens of testimonials from the generationrescue website
Below are interviews and write-ups on how biomedicine has helped Australian families treat various disorders.
ADHD
Kiki Paul
Both our children had various issues that GPs were unwilling to address, other than by way of prescribing medication to deal with symptoms. My daughter (7) had chronic abdominal pains, ADHD behaviours, bouts of eczema and increasingly often broke out in more and more serious skin rashes and hives (fist size!). My son (6) had chronic ear infections, asthma and always had dark circles under his eyes.
A friend pointed me in the direction of MINDD and mentioned one of the practitioners. Since then our lives have changed dramatically. Attending the MINDD seminars has given us a solid block of education. Not only were we educated on the biomedical approach, we were also made aware of a whole range of complimentary therapies. This has helped immensely because we can now better understand the treatment and communicate with our doctor about it at a much higher level.
The children have changed dramatically. My daughter's tummy aches have disappeared, along with her ADHD, skin rashes and hives. My son is no longer struggling with his hearing, asthma is gone and he looks great, no dark circles. After treating the children for about 4 months, my husband and I decided to apply the same approach to our selves and have since (in about 6 months)already resolved a number of chronic issues, such as rheumatic pains, psoriasis, IBS, severe night sweats and lack of energy. My mother (69) has since also started treatment and is feeling much better.
The journey of integrative biomedical medicine is not necessarily easy: diet and exercises can be hard work and frustrating at times. However, the MINDD foundation provides plenty of education, suggested reading (both therapies and cookbooks) and even cooking classes.
The most important benefit is that there is a solution out there that provides HEALING, not just suppressing symptoms, in the most natural way possible with as few drugs as possible, whilst in the hands of well-trained medical doctors. This is medicine as it should be practiced!
Healing ... via the “Biomedical Pathway”

Our son was dreamy, very left handed, social, strong, with a
tendency towards independence and defiance. By the time he got to
school teachers were asking for assessments. OT helped his fine motor
skills and general co-ordination. He had good energy but also days
where he just lay around sleeping, usually with a fever, and he threw
up more often than my other kids ever had.
Half way through a prep K class we were (repeatedly)
called in to the school. He showed no respect for authority, was
disturbing the other kids and was displaying signs of anti-social
behavior. After he threw a complete tantrum outside the toy shop one
day I asked what he had eaten and he told me his teacher had given them
all RED Jelly at school, because they were learning about the
colour red. I immediately knew there was a connection between his
behavior and the red food colour in the jelly.
Researching I found the FAILSAFE group and did the elimination
diet and he settled a little. I needed to know more because I realized
Failsafe was not really dealing with the underlying cause and was
struggling to justify extreme dietary changes to family and friends
even though his behavior was improving.
IGG and IGE tests found antibodies to 17 foods. This led us to
explore Leaky Gut Syndrome and remove GLUTEN/CASEIN. If
the gut is leaking the undigested proteins (glutamorphein/casomorphein)
interact with Opiod centre of brain responsible for sensory
perception/memory function. Commenced probiotics to replenish
gut with good gut flora plus digestive enzymes.
The lights went on! My son became alert and awake – started asking
questions became curious about the world .Sacro-Cranial Therapy
and Homeopathy helped. At the MINDD conference
realized there was a whole biomedical world I had not yet explored. I
went online and began searching…
A Biomed Doctor tested zinc levels and prescribed zinc B6
essential vitamins and Omega oils plus detoxing with Epson Salt
Baths and Footsies (placed on sole of foot they withdraw
impurities) also daily Ambrotose for cell to cell communication
plus Liver Life drops for liver regeneration and protection
I removed all possible toxins from our home, and started to buy
organic produce. and cooked more traditional foods,
including broths, chicken soups and whole foods and
recently removed corn/soy to allow his gut to fully
heal
Every day I hold him in my heart and bless him and let him know
that he is safe loved and supported. In all likelihood it will be a two
year process to bring him back into balance, and then a lifetime
of learning and managing his wellbeing. The gift to our family is that
we have all started on a healing journey exploring our innate ability
to intuitively and intelligently self monitor/self heal and are more
aware of the connection between our damaged planet and our depleted
bodies and what we put into our system and how it makes us think, feel
and act.
Diet and Biomedical Protocols have changed the health of my family and
rescued my son for which I am eternally grateful ..... Rebecca
Fantastic "Biomedical" Progress in my family

In 2004 my 17yr was diagnosed with ADHD, my 9yr old son was diagnosed with Mild Autism and a Pragmatic Semantic Language disorder, my 5yr old daughter was diagnosed with Autism and Severe global developmental delay, my 7yr old daughter was diagnosed with a severe language disorder and in 2006 my 3yr old daughter was diagnosed with mild to moderate Autism and Global developmental delay what the psychologist and paediatricians didn't notice was the autoimmune system disorders, severe vitamin and mineral deficiencies, the multiple food intolerences, allergies, eczema, yeast overgrowth, sleep disorders, chronic leaky gut and constant fluctuations between constipation and diarrhoea!!
When I started the biomedical approach in 2006 by changing their diet to a gluten free, casein free, sugar free, preservatives, artificial colours, flavours, and additives free diet, and supplements to address their vitamin and mineral deficiencies the results were amazing!!!
My 17 yr old starting doing well in class, he was able to focus better and has just finished his HSC and he feels confident about his results, my 9yr old who had previously taken 3 years to get to level 9 in reading is now on level 18 and his speech has improved so much that his Grandparents who used to have difficulty understanding him on the phone are now able to have long conversations, my 7yr old who could not read or write in the previous year was now on level 9 for reading and doing really well in her mainstream class, my 5yr old has doubled her vocabulary and is now able to understand 1-2 part instructions and has learnt to ride a bike independently, she also called me Mummy for the first time( something I have dreamed of for a very long time!!!), my 3yr old who suffered from numerous Urinary tract infections has not had one since and is improving in both language and social skills!!
Before we started Biomedical Protocols we had done speech therapy and special play groups but until we started getting their bodies healthy they found it hard to learn, now they are just getting better and better and their future is so much brighter!
BioMed mother of 7 children
Letter from ASD Mum to Mindd (July 07)
David is really moving along.Neroli ,his reading tutor, tested his comprehension as "good" as far as 5th class.She'll test 6th class soon.His reading continues to catch up quickly.Writing lags behind, of course.But this was a kid who wasn't reading until the end of 5th class.
He loves the freedom of year 7 High School.Enjoys sport (!!!!) -tennis etc.Doing OK in his subjects(!!!!!!!!!!).....gone from "developing"(bottom category in report card in Primary school) to "good" (middle) and even a couple of "high"!!!!!
His auditory tests are OK (at last), his proprioception is OKWe're trying yet another Kinesiologist who seems excellent.She recommends retrying visual processing therapy (Irlen and behavioural optometry) now that his other modalities are so much better.
Dr Dyson tested his gut and it's (FINALLY) OK.......more Movicol and faecal overload to go though.We think he's very close to finish and Dr Dyson has reduced visit frequency.Petra (attached to Dr Dyson's practice) is likewise happy with his sensory integrtion after her years of testing and setting exercises.
David speaks of the time when he "used to feel sick all the time and had that brain fog" and likes to advise his friend (whose official diagnosis is ADHD but is on Ritalin only) how to be "cool" eg leave shirt hanging out, tie partly undone etc.David is surprised Dan doesn't "get it" about how his "in your face" behaviour annoys the other kids .David said he seems oblivious of all the (non verbal) signs others give him-which David can see (now).
In short-he's a new boy.Still not your average socially -but close and I now say "he used to be autistic".His father says he's "got his son back".
Took nearly 4 years because we started late at age 9 ,but worth every bit of the $ thousands!Thanks for your part in helping us with his recovery!
We keep telling people about Mindd Foundation and biological therapies
Some parents "get it", others don't (so sad-and such a waste).
BIG hugs to you for all your hard work!

NAET - Allergy Elimination
Dear Leslie,
Thank you very much for referring me to Matthew Bourke, I must say it is worth the drive from Bondi to Mona Vale!!!!!
From the welcoming staff at reception to actually sitting in a room and having a foot bath, I have to say that I will recommend highly to any one with any kind of allergies or emotional issues or any underlying medical conditions to see Matthew.
After my first visit, which was an N.A.E.T. and a Detox foot bath, I saw the difference, even the day after my colleagues from work asked me if I had new batteries in me; I felt such an amazing energy and felt really good, the headaches I usually get every morning were not there, they way I approach life and every little situation that it comes my way is so different.
I am also taking Charlotte to see him and I have also seeing the changes in her, right now she is seeing the Allergist and it is amazing how this all works....so Thank You so very much for asking me to sit on his talk at the Mindd Foundation lectures at the Allergy Expo, it was probably the best hour I have ever spent listening to a person....I am so grateful and feel very lucky that I have had such an amazing opportunity.
I hope the word gets out and if there is anything I can help you with, please let me know, as I myself see how it works!!!
Kind Regards,
Isabel Brinkworth-Martinez
