Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 How does this diet differ from GF/CF diet or SCD???????????? anyone??????? maurinejsthorpe wrote: Hi from Sue, This was in the Donna Gates Newsletter. (With great photos,etc... which won't come through here..) Thanks ! Sue How Body Ecology Helped Berle's Son Overcome Autism and Her Daughter Survive Rotavirus by BodyEcology.com Berle shares how Young Coconut Kefir and dietary changes were the key to curing her son, Baxter, of autism. Over 5 years ago, 5 different experts told Berle that her young son, Baxter, was autistic. That he would never talk or potty train. That he may even be institutionalized when he got older. At first devastated and angry, did not want someone else looking into the "crystal ball of capabilities" and telling her about Baxter's future. A mom of three kids, admits that early life with Baxter was not easy. He had the classic symptoms of ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) including tantrums, isolation, sleep issues, touch sensitivity, and severe gastrointestional problems. "I was just a person he screamed at," she says. describes feeling alone and ashamed. Even with her background as a special education teacher, she did not know what do, or even what caused her son's condition. Shots + Antibiotics = Autism? In fact, up until 12 months of age, Baxter was developing normally; he was even starting to speak. Then between 12 and 18 months, Baxter began to show symptoms that later realized meant autism. "At the time, you just rationalize it away," but is convinced that Baxter's gut health and vaccinations played a role in the autism. "Right after his first set of shots, he was hospitalized for a kidney infection, and they gave him heavy doses of antibiotics. I think the antibiotics killed the bacteria in his gut." After that, Baxter just "slipped away," says. "He had more words at one year than at three." Of all the symptoms, Baxter's gastro-intestinal issues were the worst. "One day, we counted that he had diarrhea 33 times!" Dietary Changes Bring Some Relief started looking for solutions, and turned to diet as a way to help her son. She knew that she was allergic to milk and feels like all of her children, including Eliza (now 3) and (now 6), have true milk allergies. So she thought the gluten free casein free (GFCF) diet would be a good alternative treatment for Baxter, who was 2.5 years old at the time. The first 2 weeks were tough. Baxter went through withdrawal, screaming for foods like bagels and pizza that he was used to eating. Then, as if by magic, he stopped! marveled at the changes. "Literally 2 weeks after we eliminated gluten and casein, he started speaking and making eye contact." She was so encouraged by the changes in her son that she continued to search out dietary treatments for autism. Young Coconut Kefir: "The Cream" Around that time, 's neighbor was making Young Coconut Kefir for her own autistic son. She had a batch that needed refrigeration, and was happy to provide some space. took advantage of what was in her fridge and began to serve Baxter Young Coconut Kefir. The results were amazing! Baxter's gut inflammation markers returned to normal levels and his functioning improved so much that no one would ever know that experts once believed he was autistic. Baxter is now 8 years old and doing school work on the 4th grade level. He has probiotics every day. Although autism is a distant memory, he still drinks the tasty probiotic drink, Young Coconut Kefir, that got him there, asking, "Mom, can I have the cream?" Baxter benefited from numerous therapies, ranging from the traditional to the alternative, but attributes this amazing turnaround to Body Ecology and Young Coconut Kefir. She jokes that you can often find her in the backyard, chopping up coconuts with a machete! Young Coconut Kefir Also Saved Her Daughter Make your own healing microflora-rich Young Coconut Kefir at home with our delicious Kefir Starter. Or try all 3 Starters to benefit from the range of different microflora. Save 20% when you buy all 3! As miraculous as Baxter's recovery seems, considers her daughter "the poster child for Young Coconut Kefir." Eliza contracted Rotavirus, a severe viral infection that can cause diarrhea, severe dehydration and hospitalization, when she was barely 2 years old. Little Eliza was vomiting blood, having seizures and dropped so much weight that even her doctors could not figure out how to help her recover. had never given the Young Coconut Kefir to Eliza, figuring, "You give it to your sickest kid, and at that time it was Baxter." But acknowledges, "Your whole world shifts when your child is sick," and she desperately wanted Eliza to improve. Thinking back to advice that "you can never have too many probiotics," she began to feed her little girl as much Young Coconut Kefir as she could handle. Eliza responded to the fermented drink and recovered so quickly that even her pediatrician requested the Young Coconut Kefir recipe! Body Ecology For Life The Berle family believes in probiotics, and all of the children get plenty of beneficial bacteria in their diets, usually in the form of Young Coconut Kefir. sometimes mixes the Young Coconut Kefir with pear juice for sweetness, but otherwise uses it like water. She also maintains a gluten free casein free home, something that is becoming easier to do and less "out there" now that grocery stores carry gluten free alternatives. Since the Body Ecology program is gluten and casein free (GFCF), along with being anti-fungal and anti-viral, it is an effective way to heal autism and end cravings for processed foods. Even for children. Baxter does not even want tempting slices of pizza, because he knows it makes him sick. The Berles believe in Body Ecology, and know that Young Coconut Kefir healed Baxter and Eliza! Reaches Out To Other Parents "I won the autism lottery," marvels, and has vowed to help others in her situation. Now that her son is completely recovered, advises some 250 parents of children with autism through her work with TACA (Talk About Curing Autism Now) and is a founding member of Generation Rescue, an organization that supports parents who seek new treatments for children with autism. "I'm still involved because people need support and alternatives." has a huge amount of gratitude for Donna and the Body Ecology system for healing and internally thanks her every day for "this non-invasive, brilliant, and lovely way to help our children." For more information on how to follow the Body Ecology program to heal autism and illness, read The Body Ecology Diet, by Donna Gates.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 The Keifer starter kit I believe is just to help with fermenting. Some natural health food stores carry young coconuts, which are nothing like the ones you purchase at a regular supermarket. Some asian grocery stores carry young coconuts too.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I'm no expert, but my opinion: the Body Ecology Diet is very challenging, even for veterans of special diets, and not necessarily a miracle cure for everyone/every kid! If yeast is a big issue, then it may be helpful... Also, not too many kids are going to beg for the coconut kefir (let alone things like " cultured veggies " ). For kids who do need this hefty probiotic type of diet, you would want to start very slowly because jumping into it will cause wicked die-off reactions. I know this from personal experience. Certainly, it's wonderful to hear about a recovered kid, so I'm not in any way trying to burst any bubbles! Just wanted to play devil's advocate here because we have all heard a lot of miraculous stories about silver bullets. Ingrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Thanks for that. There are so many diets that seem to "cure", my head is still spinning, even after a month of research. _____________________________________________________________Click here for free information business phone systems from top companies.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 It's a tough diet if your kid has a lot of allergies, especially phenol/salicylate issues because it's heavy on the veggies. We tried the kefir and my son LOVED it but that's how we discovered his allergy to coconut. I have since been in touch w/a BED expert and she told me you can kefir water, so we're going to try that. Kefiring fruit juices is difficult because it's very easy to make alcohol.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 There is!!! Helios Nutrition makes it and its approved by the BED diet people. Trick is finding it in a store. The closest place to me that carries it is almost an hour away http://www.greenpeople.org/webpage.cfm?linkpage=http://www.heliosnutrition.com & memid=2389 & pmtlevel=0 sure wish there was an easier way to get this-already fermented, prepared---just to pour it in a glass.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hey guys... Baxter's mom here. You are ALL right! Die off can happen, many kids are allergic to coconut, BED is heavy on the veggies... etc etc... This is merely one more piece of info to add into YOUR hopper of things to try based on your OWN child. For my family this was a GREAT probiotic.

Its a natural antiviral, antifungal and antibiotic. I used it in place of water. Some kids dont like the tart taste. Mine did not object. I also would scrape out the coconut meat....ferment it as well, add honey and legal vanilla and they would eat it like pudding. Tons of work.,....but the benefits.... It is NOT SCD LEGAL for those in the early stages of the diet as it is an unripe fruit. It is acceptable for those later on in the diet (pls see www.pecanbread.com for more info) I have major gut kids (even my NT ones have gut issues) and this stuff was AWESOME for us and I think maybe highly beneficial for those undergoing chelation and antiviral therapy to keep the gut in check through the process.... Again for clarification...I am not selling anything....get no royalties ... just sharing some info of somthing that was beneficial for us. And that's all I have to say bout that....

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 My son didn't just mind the taste of coconut kefir, he absolutely loved it.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Why can't people just use regular yogurt you by at the store? Why does it have to be so complicated?? If you buy the Coconutone water, is it good enough to just drink that straight, or do you have to ferment it? I have NO IDEA how to ferment things! I am sure I would end up making something terrible!! I am horrible in the kitchen!! Any suggestions? I like the idea of helping the gut heal as we are going to start antiviral therapy soon and I am really worried about his gut. Jen Re: 's story of recovered Autism Hey guys...Baxter's mom here.

This is one of those great interventions that can't hurt... and will potentially help. Again for my family a super super effective probiotic. Liza had fallen from the 95%ile in weight to the 5%th after the bout of rotovirus....5 days in the hospital...couldnt get her off the IV soooo dehydrated....nothing could bring her back for weeks. Within a mere 7 days of the kefir she was so much better my western med pediatrician was asking what I was doing (even emailed me a second time for the link!!!) The change was shocking. So again...if you have gut kids.. I believe strongly in this stuff.. Wishing you health and healing.... gotta go hack some coconuts! mb12 valtrex , " Chase " wrote: > > Didn't do the valtrex protocol with Baxter?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I want to know if she did valtrex with Baxter too. What dosage, and for how long? Did she use Diflucan too? What dose, and how long? Our son has been on Diflucan for 5 months (100mg/day) and Valtrex for three months (250mg 2x/day). I am wondering whether to up the valtrex to 3x/day? Anyone seen big changes after upping from 2x to 3x? We are ramping up to start this kefir this week. Found the plain coconut water - http://www.vitacoco.com. Anyone using this one to make kefir??? > > Didn't do the valtrex protocol with Baxter?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Jen, Many of us cannot use yogurt at all because our children cannot tolerate casein, the protein contained in dairy products. Some children can tolerate homemade yogurt from goat's milk, which is an optional part of the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet). Also, yogurt that you buy in the supermarket, even if organic, has sugar in it, which will feed yeast. If it doesn't have sugar, then it has artificial sweeteners, which are also bad for our kids. Coconut water is a healthy beverage in moderation but the reason to ferment it and make it into kefir is because it transforms it into a probiotic beverage, which can help populate your child's gut w/healthy flora, which in turn will assist the healing process. If you ferment the coconut water, there's not much sugar left. If you drink it straight, it has a lot of sugar and can feed yeast. I have kefired coconut water before, the boxed kind, and it is very simple. (Trust me, I am not very good in the kitchen!) There are step by step instructions on the Body Ecology website. Hope this helps.

Why does it have to be so complicated?? If you buy the Coconutone water, is it good enough to just drink that straight, or do you have to ferment it? I have NO IDEA how to ferment things! I am sure I would end up making something terrible!! I am horrible in the kitchen!! Any suggestions? I like the idea of helping the gut heal as we are going to start antiviral therapy soon and I am really worried about his gut. Jen Re: 's story of recovered Autism Hey guys...Baxter's mom here. You are ALL right! Die off can happen, many kids are allergic to coconut, BED is heavy on the veggies... etc etc... This is merely one more piece of info to add into YOUR hopper of things to try based on your OWN child. For my family this was a GREAT probiotic. I buy the young (not the brown ones) coconuts at the health food store. (You can now purchase coconut water already out of the nut....Coconutone is one brand) Then you purchase the starter at bodyecologydiet.com (I am not affiliated with them in any way). and ferment it then you can use a few tablespoons of it to make subsequent batches...up to 6 iterations I believe. Its a natural antiviral, antifungal and antibiotic. I used it in place of water. Some kids dont like the tart taste. Mine did not object. I also would scrape out the coconut meat....ferment it as well, add honey and legal vanilla and they would eat it like pudding. Tons of work.,....but the benefits....It is NOT SCD LEGAL for those in the early stages of the diet as it is an unripe fruit. It is acceptable for those later on in the diet (pls see www.pecanbread.com for more info)I have major gut kids (even my NT ones have gut issues) and this stuff was AWESOME for us and I think maybe highly beneficial for those undergoing chelation and antiviral therapy to keep the gut in check through the process....Again for clarification...I am not selling anything....get no royalties ... just sharing some info of somthing that was beneficial for us. And that's all I have to say bout that....
