What is Defeat Autism Now (DAN!)?

Defeat Autism Now (DAN!) is a project that was founded in the 1960s by Dr. Bernard Rimland.

 Defeat Autism Now! (DAN!) is a new approach to autism developed by a group of advanced physicians and scientists led by the Autism Research Institute (ARI). The ARI has more than 1,000 documented cases of autistic children who have fully recovered.

Doctors trained in the “DAN! Protocol,” are taught an approach to autism which begins with the idea that autism is a biomedical disorder. This approach was developed by the Autism Research Institute (ARI) which has more than 1,000 documented cases of autistic children who have recovered.
The belief among DAN! doctors is that autism is a disorder caused by a lowered immune response, issues caused by some foods, and external toxins from vaccines and other sources.
What Type of Treatments do DAN! Doctors Prescribe?

  • Supplements such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and essential fatty acids.
  • Gluten- and dairy-free diets.
  • Food allergy testing.
  • Treating dysbiosis in the gut using non-pharmacological medications (i.e. intestinal bacterial/yeast overgrowth).
  • Heavy metal detoxification.
What can I expect at my DAN! Doctor Appointment?
You can expect that your child will go through some testing mostly revolving around the state of their internal body. A test for hidden food allergies will be conducted to be sure that any dietary changes that are made as part of your child’s treatment plan are beneficial and not more damaging to them.
You should leave with your questions answered and a customized treatment plan for your child’s needs. If you have questions, ask, ask, ask. Remember, these doctors chose to be DAN! doctors. They believe in this treatment method, and want to see your child healthy!

DAN! treatment complements other autism treatments including occupational therapy, structured teaching, ABA, RDI, and many more. Practitioners of the Defeat Autism Now (DAN!)! approach appreciate the complexity of autism and work closely with other health care professionals to provide a broad and comprehensive treatment programme.

  1. Thanks for the guide.
    Defeat Autism Now was an undertaking of the Autism Research Institute, established during the 1960s by Dr. Bernard Rimland. DAN! Specialists were prepared in the DAN! Convention, a way to deal with autism treatment, which begins with the possibility that autism is a biomedical issue.
