A New Approach for Families Navigating Autism


There’s an important new development families affected by autism should know about.


The FDA recently expanded the approved use of leucovorin (Wellcovorin) for patients with a specific form of cerebral folate deficiency caused by an FOLR1 gene variant. This rare condition can include developmental delays and autistic features.


Could leucovorin be appropriate for your family?


That is a conversation to have with your doctor.


Our telehealth service can evaluate patients and determine whether leucovorin is medically appropriate, as well as discuss deworming protocol that may help with symptoms.

Depending on the child's individual needs, I would also recommend incorporating:


30 Day Deworm/Detox Protocol — an optional protocol that may help with symptoms and overall health.


SUPPORT YOUR DETOX & DEWORMING ROUTINE


Dr. Stella also offers a 30-Day Detox & Deworm Wellness Bundle, designed as a parasite-cleanse and toxin-binder regimen
