Re: Re: nap time - question re protocol mentioned

[Guest guest]

Amazing story and I hope to have such improvements for my son, , and also his twin sister. Not to sound dumb but what is the AC protocol? Also, how does one find the A-M site and information on Dr. Cutler and Moria?

Thanks,

I am a firm beleiver that parents know their children best, and if you believe he can do it, then he is probably capable, but for his age I think two hours of staying in one place would be too difficult even for NT children that age. 2 hours for nap time? I understand the dangers to other children of him running around aimlessly and over other children. This sounds like a "stim" and stims can be hard to stop. My son is now high functioning and verbal (coming forward from moderate severe and non-verbal, but he still "stims." He didn't for a few years. The stimming had stopped, but after getting talked into doing IV chelation for a time, he regressed in this, SID, and OCD.You need to have a "plan B" in case he is not able to sit on the mat for all that time and not nap. Exercise (or any physical play) could maybe help. If two hours are allotted for nap time, then you could maybe try the

melatonin, though I have never used it for nap time.The idea of a more detailed picture story to show what is expected is a good idea., my son had serious lung issues post regression. He was sick roughly every two weeks with a fever. It was either an ear infection, upper respiratory, bronchitis, or pneumonia. He had pneumonia eight times between the ages of two and eleven. They said he had "asthma." One doc wanted to put him on five asthma meds a day. He was constantly being put on antibiotics and steroids. He was diagnosed with an immune disorder NOS. We had to watch him carefully outside as one or two fire ant bites cause anaphylaxis. If he got bit by ANY insect, he would develop radiating staph from every bite site, so if he got bit by mosquitoes, then we would be fighting several places on his body with radiating staph/cellulitis. One mosquito bite could blow up to the

size of a grapefruit within a short time. He was also prone to strep. Sometimes he would get staph and strep at the same time.The medication -- a broad spectrum antibiotic - that he would need to be on was not covered by insurance. A tiny bottle cost between five and six hundred dollars! And he also had debilitating constipation so we were alwasy going to the emergency room for one thing or another.We have been to several DAMS over the years. Mostly all it got us was broke. Then I remembered Dr. Cutler and Moria on the A-M site many years ago talking about the AC Protocol. We decided a year ago to revisit this protocol, and then we started.My son's "asthma" improved by ninety percent. Instead of being sick every two weeks, he was only sick three or four times last year. It was the first year that he got a regular, run of the mill common cold. He did not break out in staph

after an insect bite. His anxiety improved with adrenal support (Adrenergize), which I believe also helped his "asthma." It has been the most normal year since his regression.We also chose to home school beginning last year and our son has made tremendous gains across the board. It has just been the best year ever. So we are sticking with it.It is the first year my son wasn't put on antibiotics every other week.So to those of you with young children, I urge you to give the AC Protocol some thought. I beleive if I had listened to Dr. Cutler and started this protocol back when our son was young, he would be healed by now, but better late than never.I do think the root cause of these children's problems reside in toxicity, and this needs to be addressed. I think once you go after the root cause, the rest can get better, as well.When my son was three, a developmental physician

painted a very tragic and bleak future for my son. She told me to find an institution to put him in and "get on with your life." I took the road less traveled, and it has, indeed, made all the difference.
