RE: Wow! Happy little boy at my house!

[Guest guest]

Wonderful news !!

I understand the apprehension of getting your hopes up. You might want to

get used to this though. In our experience that " happy child " isn't temporary!

I love HNI enzymes!

just 3 months shy of 3 years old, ASD, and responding nicely to enzymes (we

love HNI). He was " stabilized " on small doses of AFP pep, ZP, and NF. He has

improved on those small amounts, so we were increasing doses a couple of

times each month and by teeny fractions so the die off would not interfere with

his VB instruction. We did not realize he would improve and tolerate larger

doses now!!!

his meals and snacks. Well, as told me happens at her house, the cold

was 1/3 of the intensity and lasted about 1/3 - 1/2 of the time! This never had

happened for our little immune-weak boy. That was wonderful, but it got better

because our nervousness about giving more enzymes a bit (or in our case, a

lot) more quickly was gone. So after the illness, we moved his weird doses to

simply 1/4 t. of powder of AFP at every meal and snack. He did fine with that,

but I was still seeing a lot more stimming, lack of focus, less language, more

frustration and was easily overstimulated. We tried a few other things thinking

he had an imbalanced gut (BMs and behaviors indicated something was

off)...but the

significant increase). Well, BMs are showing die off...BUT would you believe

these improvements!?!

,

Thank you for posting your results!! I've had a horrible day for reasons

unrelated to ASD and just really got a huge smile from your post. I am so happy

your son is doing so well and hope it is just the beginning for you!

Wow! Happy little boy at my house!

Hey everyone!

I wanted to post this happy moment because I LOVE it when others do

this...always lifts me and gives me hope.

It is with guarded happiness that I write this...peaks and valleys...you all

know the drill!

My husband and I tend to be cautious/nervous people; especially when it

involves our children's health or future. We make decisions super slow and in

the case of enzymes and supplementation, we move really slow. We were happy with

our approach until cold and flu season came upon us. Our son is just 3 months

shy of 3 years old, ASD, and responding nicely to enzymes (we love HNI). He was

" stabilized " on small doses of AFP pep, ZP, and NF. He has improved on those

small amounts, so we were increasing doses a couple of times each month and by

teeny fractions so the die off would not interfere with his VB instruction. We

did not realize he would improve and tolerate larger doses now!!!

He got sick about 7 weeks ago, and did not return to his " old " and " improved

since enzymes " self. When he caught his second cold about 3 weeks ago, we gave

large doses of AFP to battle the cold (per 's caring suggestion...THANK YOU

KAREN) on top of the careful fractional doses for his meals and snacks. Well, as

If you are lurking and aren't sure whether to give enzymes a shot...my

personal opinion is, give them a shot! They do no harm and lifted my son's fog

away (even if it is temporary, it is wonderful)!

Happy New Year!
