Guest guest Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hi all, I got a bunch of questions about the salt c protocol I used with my lyme induced autistic son. I never knew I had lyme and I gave it to him in utero. He is basically recovered now- I am just uncomfortable saying that after the history of struggle and regression. Most don't see what I see (we are trained in child development on this journey in a very specific way). I need to untrain my eye now. We all use the word typical- like it is a promised land. Indistinguishable- that's another one. His teacher reminded me at the beginning of the year when I was saying so many of the last subtle remnants of different social context or social inappropriateness are now typical.... she reminded me he will never be typical. He is an exceptional child. Not from a special needs approach, but from any approach. He is remarkable intellectually (not like a savant). And he is the most popular kid in his class. I remember wishing as if I was wanting to go to the moon that he would have just one good friend. This was back when he was 3 and in a therapeutic preschool with 5 other autistic kids and 3 speech therapists. Recovery was not even on the radar. When his teacher told me that he was the most popular kid, I had to sit down and catch my breath. It is a long road and we had gone into deep debt- but he did it all. The diets and supplements. All kinds of therapies. It is all worth it. In the end he is not at the mercy of the inflammation in his brain any more. He can digest food!!! And he can spend time doing what other kids do now. Anyway- salt c is a low tech very cheap way to kill all kinds of pathogens (parasites, bacteria, not sure about fungus or virus). Food used to be preserved in salt and my naturopath says all that stuff about salt being bad is a myth. We used sea salt so tere is less sodium and many minerals. It takes months/years but it was a very big piece of the puzzle for us. There is a yahoo group Lymestrategies. I read the posts for 9 months and emailed many many families doing this with very small children. Once I was comfortable i tried it on myself and then with my son. You go very slowly. The idea is not to let the die off overwhelm the already overburdened liver detox pathways. This came up b/c I am offering a free trial of Monavie (I have a bunch in my basement). I am not a distributer. I was hoping to collect some data about whether it can help the people in my Lyme and autism groups. Pleas email me offlist if you are interested.
