I agree with the rollercoater, but the important thing is that we keep moving forward, just as n has done. Ruth > > It's a happy, happy day at my house.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Nell, I am so incredibly happy for you and n!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are an amazing woman and n is so lucky to have you!! Congratulations to n, he has earned it!!!!! lanellici <lanellici@...> wrote: It's a happy, happy day at my house. I took n in for a reassessment, because he's been doing so well -- and the shrink agreed, saying he no longer has any diagnosis. That no one would ever know he had ever had autism. Here's the short version of his story (sorry for the repetition old-timers)...By the time n was 3 he was sick all the time and mostly miserable. Hit himself in the head a lot, cried a LOT, aggressive towards his baby sister, couldn't handle any self-care jobs like dressing himself, often didn't respond when his name was called or when spoken to, many many sensory difficulties. His language was advanced, but he would throw tantrums if someone's grammar was incorrect. He couldn't handle change at all, and once screamed for days because I rearranged the furniture in his sister's room. At preschool he didn't speak to anyone for months, and I don't think he ever initiated conversation in the 2 years he was there, but sat by himself sometimes watching the others play. At home he had serial meltdowns, terrible rages, and threatened to kill everyone in the family. He was suicidal during kindergarten. Eventually he was diagnosed with Asperger's by a developmental ped, and with PDD by a psychiatrist. When he was 4.5 I started him on the Feingold diet and Houston enzymes. They were incredibly important -- although he was still a mess most of the time, we saw plenty of glimmers of the child he was meant to be, moments of empathy, mornings when he would get dressed and ready for school by himself, some sense of humor. When he was 5 I started chelating him, Andy's protocol, DMSA/ALA or ALA only. He responded on the first round, going up to a kid on the playground, introducing himself (!!) and going off to play. He'd never done anything *remotely like that before. He began spontaneously waving hello and goodbye for the first time. After 5 months of chelation, I did the ViraStop trial, which also gave tremendous improvement, socially and intellectually. His reading took off, he seemed much more comfortable in his skin. I will say from the beginning of starting this biomed path it has been one giant rollercoaster. I'd see some great new improvement, and think whew, guess this autism thing is over! and then the next day he'd be worse off than before. Sometimes he'd be in bad shape for weeks at a time. But slowly, slowly, over many bottles of enzymes and a zillion supps and now 67 rounds, the good days are finally how he is every day. Even though the dx is removed, we're not done yet. He still has intolerances to artificials, he still, STILL! gets yeast from not that much sugar. I expect to do 100 rounds, and probably some more courses of antivirals. But it was a thrill to watch him walk into the shrink's office, comfortable with himself, chatty, smiling, wanting to show her a game he'd just gotten. And also -- the shrink now believes in biomed! She kept shaking her head and smiling, and saying, " It's just unbelievable! " So I gave her Andy's books and " Evidence of Harm " , and she just may show up here.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Nell I am so amazed and reassured after reading your story, it really does give me the kick I needed to realise that I can heal my child. It's so reassuring to know that you had so many set backs and roller coaster experiences on your journey, it made me realise that this doesn't mean I'm failing, it's just part of the process!!! Thank you so much, please don't leave the list!!! We NEED you!!! Joy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Dear Nell, God bless you for writing this. I so desperatley need hope. My son, now 5 y.o. with autism. We just started on his recovery through biomed (DAN protocal) 3 months ago. I needed to hear that a child can recover. So many websites say that autism is a lifelong disease with no cure. Just about all doctors imply that a child with autism is one who will have life long problems. My son is my only child. Like most parents, I want a life for him that is better than mine. Life has been so painful since his diagnosis. I pray on my hands and knees that my son gets through this. Last night I prayed that I would have some hope or push that would help me make it through the day. You provided that hope today. Congratulations to you & your child. lanellici <lanellici@...> wrote: It's a happy, happy day at my house.

When he was 5 I started chelating him, Andy's protocol, DMSA/ALA or ALA only. He responded on the first round, going up to a kid on the playground, introducing himself (!!) and going off to play. He'd never done anything *remotely like that before. He began spontaneously waving hello and goodbye for the first time. After 5 months of chelation, I did the ViraStop trial, which also gave tremendous improvement, socially and intellectually. His reading took off, he seemed much more comfortable in his skin.

More of our children are getting better, especially the younger ones. There is great hope, much more than there was when my son (25) was diagnosed. Keep learning and working with him!

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Way to go Nell! I am thrilled for you and your family! I also am very grateful to you for all of the questions you have answered of mine in the past year...you have been a source of inspiration to me...and I have enjoyed learning from your experiences. In fact...we havent done ANY viral protocol yet, and it is definitely in my future plans. I remember learning about viral issues from you so long ago. You need to go out and celebrate..as a family. That is when I know our son is recovered...when we can act as a family, go places together and not bring 2 cars..just in case one of us has to leave with . Go on vacation, go do something and enjoy the moment! And....I look forward to reading posts from your doctor here on this list. One more doctor on " our " side is a good thing. God bless!

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Yeah Nell and n! That is music to my ears. Nell, can I forward this to my parents who are just now starting to realize I am not crazy for going down this path? I think it might help bring them about full force. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Nell, can I forward > this to my parents who are just now starting to realize I am not > crazy for going down this path? I think it might help bring them > about full force. Yes, certainly. If anyone wants to use my post to help explain/convince -- please go ahead. My pleasure. Thanks to everyone for your kind words. I've been teary for two days now! I took n out of school today (to avoid SVD candy really) and we celebrated by going bowling and to the movies. I kept thinking about this list and how it literally saved my family, how doing something as simple as going bowling used to be a nightmare. I only did it once, a few years ago -- n cried about the shoes not feeling right, the flashing lights drove him nuts, the music, the hubbub -- it was Not Fun, and we didn't last long. Today I was just out with a regular 7 yo, joking around. Here's hoping all of you get to the same place. And I'm not leaving here yet. I've got a ways to go on my own chelation, I really need to get going on my NT but toxic daughter, and you guys will be figuring all kinds of stuff out I don't want to miss!

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 > How old is n? He's now 7.5. He started enzymes and Feingold in March of 2003, and chelation in December 2003. Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 > Life has been so painful since his diagnosis. I know. Even though n's epic rages were terrible for all of us to live through, in a way they kept the household in such a state of tension that for a long time the deeper painful part was hard to get to. I realized after writing my post how many of the hard things I forgot to say, I think because it was just too painful to keep those images in the part of my brain I can access quickly. Stuff like the way he couldn't play. He'd line up toys and that was it. The way his face was like a mask so much of the time, even how he didn't seem to care if I lost it and started yelling (yeah, *those images are buried way down!). I'm glad my post helped, and I hope you zip over to the sites people posted where ther are many more stories of success. I had to do some googling this week looking for an Asperger's/autism symptom checklist to give to n's teacher, and I was amazed at the zillions of autism websites out there, packed with links and info, with not a word about biomed or mercury or even diet. So sad. It's a much happier and more hopeful world here on A-M, that's for sure. Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when my daughter noticed that she would look confused i.e furrow her brow, when she was verbally expressing confusion. Prior to that her expressions were flat, except for the tantrums, of course. I think you are in such a state of panic (speaking for myself) that you can't absorb or process it all. I have just now been able to make myself go over the hours of videotape we have of our girl before her decline. Before her recovery, it would have just been, personally, too painful to watch her. Now it is an exercise in curiosity to see when the change occurred. I think it will take many years for the parents of even a recovered child to recoup, if that is possible. I have treated parents of children with cancer, who have survived, and it takes a long, long time for them to truly believe that life will be okay. I hope I get there someday, believing that life will be okay, even after recovery. I have days when I think I can, but I remember the exact moment like it was yesterday when I realized the ped had given her the shots with the mercury and the horror in the realization of just what the changes I had seen take place with her truly meant. I'm hoping I live long enough to forget that moment. I'm glad my post helped, and I hope you zip over to the sites people posted where ther are many more stories of success.
