Recovered! (long)

[Guest guest]

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.

My deepest thanks to Mandi and Dana and Andy and Moria, and everyone

else here. n and I really owe his recovery to your work, your

guidance and wisdom. And occasional kicks in the pants! Thank you so much.
