2004 and counting...

[Guest guest]

As of today we have 2000 members in our group. Two thousand families in less

than two

years.

It's not a bad time to reflect on the many families in our group who have

improved

through the efforts of all of us here. And there are countless of others who

aren't in our

group but are being helped by the therapies that were developed here.

Many families now have children that speak, behave well or perform better than

ever

before. Many families who have their kids or family members partially or fully

returned to

them.

I am grateful to be doing this work and I am grateful to be involved in helping

families.

There is little in life that is as rewarding as this.

What I am most proud of is how people in our group really support each other.

The first

year I answered every post here and it required hours of time every day. Today,

I chime in

from time to time but the community is now the biggest asset to the group. I

really enjoy

reading posts and saying to myself, " Wow, that was a good suggestion. "

When I first started anti-infectious and MB12 nasal spray work I was doing so

because I

felt these were important therapies and few doctors (almost none) were pursuing

this.

Additionally the doctors who were pursuing it, well, most of them weren't doing

it

comprehensively.

The more I look at infections and autism the more I believe this could easily be

the core of

the disorder for many. The same hold true for chronic illness, ADHD, and

behavior

challenges. It is really encouraging to see how widely we are affecting

illness… illness that

for the most part has been deemed by the medical establishment as being

recoverable.

The motivation for starting this group continues as we dive deeper and as

awareness

spreads. I thank you for the opportunity to help you and your families and I

continue to

commit to finding answers and healing families.

I also continue to be amazed when I go to conferences and doctors approach me

with

enthusiasm and offer to work closer with me. It is a testament to how important

parents'

observations and research continues to be and how it can play a critical role in

health.

Some Statistics:

According to polls more than 60% of the families who try our approach see

moderate

improvements (or better) in autism and the statistics are even better for most

chronic

illnesses.

We are the largest autism listserve started in 2005 and the number 13 of more

than 1300

autism listserves.

Lessons Learned

Along the way I have upset some members and I have had some doctors and

researchers

up in arms over my vernacular, efforts or style, but for the most part I think

we have built

many bridges and made great headway in helping families and getting the word

out.

Autism and Chronic Illness

We talk about autism so often, but there are many members here who are here

because of

eczema, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and many other chronic illnesses. I

sometimes

forget to say how often the treatments we use for autism help these individuals.

I don't

want to forget how I recovered from irritable bowel and ADHD and how many others

have

improved or recovered as well, all of this because of the strategies and healing

technologies that we have developed for our kids.

In summary, I am grateful to all of you for the work you do here for your

children and

families and I am grateful to be at least a small part of your family being

healthier.

Together our intentions are powerful and are quite often rewarded. I continue

to visualize

our children well and a society helping each other towards the goal of all

people

performing to their real ability.

It is happening. It is real… and we are an important part of it.

My best,

- Stan
