Immune Dysfunction

Let’s talk about the signs of immune dysfunction. This is something that we talk about in the Certified Autism Health Coach Training at the Total Wellness Empowerment Institute. So what are some signs of immune dysfunction? Well, some children are better after they have a fever, or some are too sick all the time.

Some never get fevers. Some never get sick. Some lose skills when they have a sickness and some actually have behavioral symptoms when they have acute illness like strep. And that’s what we call PANDAS or PANS depending on the illness if there are behavioral symptoms after it.

So either a child is too sick or never sick, losing skills, or getting behavioral symptoms when they are sick. These are the signs of immune dysfunction, and this is why we deep dive into which functional medicine test would be advantageous for the child. So some signs of immune dysfunction, again, is having more illnesses than a typical child or does not have that fever to fight off illness and then has behavioral issues instead of typical illness symptoms, skill regression, or improvement after they’ve had what we call the fever effect. So you wanna look at the child if the child is in your household, or if you are becoming a health coach or are in the healthcare profession, or if you’re a speech therapist or behavioral therapist, you wanna look at seeing if there’s a pattern of an immune dysfunction.

Does the child rarely get sick or always sick? Is there regression in skill if they’re sick or behavioral issues? And these are signs. And with the biomedical and nutritional intervention taught at the Total Wellness Empowerment Institute for the certified autism health coach training, you will see how you want to put together personalized treatment because every child is different, just like a snowflake.

We look forward to you becoming a certified autism health coach and being the ripple effect for the betterment of the children and adults on the spectrum.
