Wow I haven't updated in so very long but here it is

[Guest guest]

Hey there. Sorry I haven't updated since like September probably but

wow, school starting kept me jumping with a 4 and 5 year old and all

but we did keep up with the chelation using Andy's protocol. I think

that I maybe didn't post after update 3 but I did keep notes on hand

so that was helpful.

So okay, my kid (, 5 years old; dx'd at 3 year old in 2000)

started in full inclusion kindergarten September we had completed

maybe 2 rounds (???) detox, maybe a couple more. We had gone from

not using the computer (he couldn't even answer a question

receptively about what was on the screen, eg show me the bear) to

(after one round of detox) using the mouse as if he had been doing so

forever.

We saw the Dr. who is helping us here in beg of Nov who was MUCH

impressed by the differences he noticed. This was a kid who climbed

the walls first time around and now sat and drew on paper. He was

thrilled (and let me tell you, takes a lot to see thrilled with this

Dr.). At this point, had started printing words that he saw

on paper or on tv and not really like over and over. He had started

drawing things and putting the words to them. And, he had started

draaawing new things beyond shapes and would respond when asked what

it was. At one poiint, he had drawn a blob on the paper, I asked

what it was, he said medicine. Ha ha. He had drawn what it must

seem like to him when the medicine is coming out of the syringe! So

cute.

Just saw the doctor last week. is now reading and I am

telling you not the whole Dick see spot, Jane see spot, see spot run

(which is totally okay cause let me tell you my daughter will be in

Grade 2 before she gets there I think!); he can read (not memorized I

promise) a 16 page Blue's Clues book that has like at least 10 - 15

words on the page. And Friday, I gave him a book that he hadn't read

or seen previously and he read it for his K teacher.

So, let me tell you... my son is definitely not cured but at least I

can see some hope that we can save him. We have our hard days - like

getting his supplements etc into him - but at least we can see a road

to the goal of (hopefully) speech (he is still non-verbal). But hey,

if he can communicate in print, that's cool.

Thank you all for listening so far. If it weren't for all of you

here, I would have never started this. For those of you still

contemplating, boy oh boy, there is such potential there that this is

part of the track we have to follow.
