Patty Lemer
Earlier today, I interviewed Patricia Lemer, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Developmental Delay Resources (DDR), a non-profit that is dedicated to meeting the needs of children with developmental delays in sensory, motor, language, social, and emotional areas.
Today’s interview was phenomenal and full of practical information because Patty has worked with these children for over 40 years, and she knows what therapies and interventions work.
Some of her recommended resources are:
- Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt
- Lyme-Induced Autism Foundation
- The Yeast Connection: A Medical Breakthrough (book)
Patty lists many more references in the webinar, so it’s a good idea to listen to it.
Learn how toxins and lifestyle factors contribute to autism, PDD-NOS, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, hypotonia, retained reflexes and developmental delays.
Flame retardants are endocrine disruptors found in almost all new furniture. They are linked to autism, ADHD, developmental delays, hypothyroidism and more. Dust tainted by the couches and other household items is “a major route of exposure to people.” 
Here’s another reason to eat organic food and stop spraying your lawn: even low levels of organophosphate pesticides cause brain damage. Exposure is linked to a decline in memory and slower processing speed. 
Why is there such an epidemic of autism, ADHD, allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases and more in our children today?
About 10% of kids born with kidney defects have large genetic links to neurodevelopmental delay and mental illness.
Brominated flame retardants are neurotoxic and are linked to neurodevelopmental disorders like autism, ADHD and SPD.
There is no safe level of mercury, and it causes neurological damage, such as autism, PDD-NOS, ADHD, developmental delays and sensory processing disorder.
Hypothyroidism and autism: 70-80% of children with autism, developmental delays, ADHD, SPD, PDD-NOS are hypothyroid. Dr. Raphael Kellman, a holistic endocrinologist, says that the typical TSH test misses an underactive thyroid. Instead, he recommends a TRH test.
