I have a high-functioning AS child of the age of 6. Does that count?

LOL

I have used the cutler protocol and he just last week, no longer

qualified as autistic. Still has a few special needs such as sensory

needs, but the big thing is he no longer is considered autistic! So

yeah, I'd say we've had progress. LOL

The Brain Gym sounds interesting. I hope it does what you want!

Hi Wyndie,

No matter how many times I hear a child lost their ASD diagnosis -- Its not

enough! So glad to hear your good news!

Can you plz tell us all what you did? -- besides AC protocal with DMSA

Again, congrats to you and your family.

How are you testing/re-testing? Not challenge tests, I hope. What dose and

dosing schedule are you using? How much does your child weigh? I presume he

has NO mercury amalgam dental fillings?! What are you seeing behaviorally? It

often takes about 10 rounds of 3 days on and at least as many off to start

seeing results in one your child's age.

Thanks :) Believe it or not, we have only done 3 rounds of chelation

so far. He's a huge responder. About a year ago, we started eating

only natural, whole foods. He improved a bit with that. Then we

started supplementation for his various issues. Then we started

treating yeast. He has made small improvements with each change. I

am still going to continue chelation until his tests come back saying

he's clear. I assume that b/c his first obvious problem was

anaphylactic food allergies, that once he loses those, he will be

healed. I don't know, that's just my theory. We still have things

to work on, he's not totally NT yet, but it was nice to hear " he

doesn't qualify anymore " . :) I hope to hear from many on this list

that their child receives the same announcement.

I have a 7 yo son who is moderate to high functioning. We are on

round 12 of DMSA/ALA using Cutler protocol. He is in a mainstream

1st grade class with a 1-1 aide. He is academically at the head of

his class, but had problems with communication (mostly echolalic),

social skills, some behavioral issues, etc. Since beginning

chelation he has begun to have more reciprocal and less echolalic

language, will make full sentences now, is interacting with the

other children more, will stay on task better, and has fewer

outbursts in class. If his aide ever had to leave the room, he

would get extremely upset, but now she says he doesn't mind if she

leaves and continues with his work. She is glad he is becoming more

independent, but sad that he doesn't need her as much now. :)

After round 2, he learned to ride a bike, which I had been trying to

teach him for 4-5 years. We never could get him to look at anything

in the sky, (helicopter, plane, birds, moon, etc.). We would try

to show him something, but he would never look up. Now, if he hears

a bird, plane, etc. he looks up and comments on it without

prompting. He loves to look at the moon and stars now. He also

used to spend quite a bit of time lining his cars up in the

windowsill, and that behavior has stopped. Now he draws pictures

with roads and houses and drives his cars on the roads and pretends

he is going different places like school, grandma's house, doctor,

etc.

We have had a few problems along the way, mainly constipation issues

which have been resolved once we began using GSE and probiotics

(thanks to everyone for their help on this one!). We finally have

daily bms, not as formed as I would like, but at least no more

impaction problems. I was concerned when we started because I had

heard that the older the kids are, the less effective the treatment

might be. I have been very happy with the results we have seen so

far, even though I wish we would see more (would be nice to do a

treatment and " POOF " no more ASD). :) I know we have a long way to

go, but the early results have given me hope for full recovery. I

have never used DMSA only, we started with DMSA/ALA 12.5 mg each (he

weighs 45 lbs), but I believe there have been some who have seen

good results with DMSA only, but ALA will be needed eventually.

We have never tried " Brain Gym " activities. He receives ST, PT and

OT (including cranial sacral therapy) through the school, and they

take them for swimming lessons once a week. I have been very

blessed to be in a public school that is so cooperative. I never

had to ask for any services, the school offered it all from the

start.

I hope you have great results with your treatment. It is definitely

the best intervention we have done.

This is great, Wyndie. The normal course of chelation is to get improvement for

1-4 months, then a slow down of 6-9 months where you don't see much happening

but important to keep chelating, then improvements will come again.

Great news!

Thanks . So during that 6-9 months, do you test to see if

things are still moving? How do you know you are done?

My son does not have all the issues but I wanted to add that he is 4

years old now. I noticed things that were not normal at 18 months.

He lined things up, poor eye contact, the works. Basically, by the

time I figured out that something was really wrong he looked like

PDD. He had all the symptoms of it according to diagnostics. I

tested his hair and he was very toxic in most of the heavy metals.

We started with a diet change. All natural, close to Feingold. Then

added probiotics, and supplements. Finally getting to Andy's

protocol for chelation. With the first round we saw huge

improvements. Like a different kid my husband said. We have done 12

rounds and according to doc he is " normal " . He is still some

sensory, and can be stimmy or hyper at times. But this comes and

goes with yeast problems. When treated he settles down. The

improvments are unbeleivable for him. He has even started to

tolerate foods that he could not before. At least in moderation.

This treatment has made the world for us.

I think that any child with problems, it's worth a try.
