Marvin Boris, MD.
Dr. Marvin Boris has been a practicing pediatrician, allergist and immunologist for 45 years. As his practice became more specialized in the treatment of allergy and immunology, he began to see more and more patients who were diagnosed as having an autistic spectrum disorder. This led him to the understanding that autism is an immunological disorder with a genetic predisposition as well as biochemical bases.
Although early intervention programs with ABA, speech, physical and occupational therapies are readily available once the diagnosis is made, Dr. Boris has learned that without treatment of the allergic and immunological etiologies, the autistic symptomatology persists. Since 2001, he has been involved in the DAN! Protocol. (Defeat Autism Now!). He evaluates and treats patients on “the autistic spectrum” using elimination of gluten and casein from the diet, allergy testing and desensitization, supplements with vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and digestive enzymes, and treats intestinal dysbiosis and chelation of toxic metals. The individual protocols are designed for each patient depending on results of extensive history, physical examination and laboratory investigation.
Dr. Boris graduated Union College (1954) and New York University Medical School (1958). He did his pediatric residency and allergy training at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center. Since 1963, he has been in a private pediatric, allergy/immunology practice in Woodbury, NY. He is a diplomate of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Board of Allergy and Immunology. He is a member of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine. Dr. Boris is a Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the New York University School of Medicine.

Michael Elice, MD.
Dr. Elice is a board certified pediatrician and has been in practice for 30 years. Originally in practice in Great Neck, New York, he joined Dr. Boris in their specialized practice. After diagnosing patients with ASD, he has sought to find alternative approaches to helping treat these children. Most of the pediatric allopathic community has been trained to approach autism as a behavioral disorder without any thought of medical intervention. Thus far, only ABA, Speech, Physical and Occupational Therapies have been the mainstay of treatment.
Biomedical treatment of autism and ASD is based on the idea that autism is actually a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with genetic, epigenetic, metabolic and autoimmune origins. By taking thorough medical and family histories, complete physical examination and neurological examination, evaluating blood and urine laboratory tests, the etiology of the individual’s disorder can be determined in most cases. Dr. Elice follows the Defeat Autism Now! Protocol which included dietary manipulation, vitamin and mineral supplementation, allergy testing and treatment, chelation of toxic metals such as mercury, aluminum, arsenic, antimony, nickel, cadmium and intestinal dysbiosis treatment.
Dr. Elice is a graduate of Syracuse University and the Chicago Medical School. He completed his pediatric residency at the North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, NY. He has academic teaching positions and is on the staff of North Shore University Hospital and Schneider Children’s Hospital. He is an associate professor of pediatrics at the New York University Medical School and the Albert Einstein School of Medicine. He is on the medical advisory board of the New York Families for Autistic Children (NYFAC) and is a member of the National Autism Association New York Metro Chapter. He has lectured at Defeat Autism Now! Conferences around the country.
