Autism Progress Following Diet Changes and CD Protocol

Summary:

A mother shares her journey with her son, who was diagnosed with autism around age two. After the initial diagnosis, the family actively pursued various approaches to help him, including dietary changes (eliminating wheat and dairy), chelation, and the Son-Rise Program, which helped improve connection and interaction over several years.

Later, they discovered a chlorine dioxide (CD/MMS) protocol through a book and online community. After starting the protocol, they noticed gradual improvements, beginning with subtle changes that became more significant over time. The early stages included what they describe as detox reactions, but they continued with the approach.

One of the most meaningful changes for the mother was emotional connection—her son began expressing affection more directly, including spontaneously saying “I love you,” which he had rarely done before. She describes ongoing progress, feeling that her son is “blossoming” and revealing more of his personality.

Overall, the testimonial reflects a long journey through multiple therapies, with the family attributing their son’s continued improvements and increased emotional expression to the later introduction of the CD protocol, along with strong support from a community of other parents.

Okay, so in a nutshell, here is our story. My son is now 12 and a half years old, and we discovered at a pretty early age, around age two, that things were just not adding up. And we got a diagnosis of autism, and we had our short little pity party, and then we decided we were going to dive right in and just figure out what we can do to help this boy.

And we tried, fortunately we got hooked up with a chiropractor from the get-go that helped us with, first thing he said is, this boy needs to stay away from wheat and dairy. So that was one of the first things that we did. And he did improve from that.

We also, somewhere in there, we started doing some chelation. And, I mean, my gosh, we’ve done so many things, it’s hard to keep track of everything. At some point we did, we learned about Son-Rise in 2006, and that has been an amazing and wonderful tool to help us connect with our son. And we ran a Son-Rise program for probably three or four years, pretty full time, and we had some wonderful improvement with that.

And I’m really fast-forwarding here, but then we heard about Kerri’s protocol of the CD, Healing the Symptoms Known as Autism, her book that she wrote. And a great, great friend of ours sent that book to us in the mail because it was so important that she said, she didn’t just say, you’re going to go get this book, she sent us the book and said, you are going to read this book. And so then we got on the CD Autism Facebook page and started perusing that, and we knew immediately that it felt right, and it felt good, and we couldn’t get our stuff fast enough, and we started right away.

And what I can tell you is we started to see improvement right away. It was just little stuff, very subtle stuff, stuff that even an ATEC test would not necessarily pick up on. And then he, you know, actually the first couple of months were, they were kind of rough in their own way because there was a lot of die-off and detoxing. He had the rash that comes and goes with that, but you just kind of power through and you keep going.

And we just kept going and we formed these most amazing relationships and friendships with other moms that are doing the protocol, and it’s just been absolutely an amazing journey. And here we are right now in Chicago. It’s Memorial Day weekend 2014, and we’re at the Autism One conference, and I’m meeting many of my amazing, what I call my warrior moms, superheroes. That’s why I’m wearing this amazing cape, because we’re all superheroes, and it’s just been an amazing journey.

My son is literally blossoming. I am seeing who he really is for the very first time. It’s just so encouraging.

Backing up just a little bit, when we were first doing this, my son never, when I say never, I don’t really mean never never, but hardly ever would say, I love you. Now I know he knows what that means, but he would always say, when I would say, I love you son, he would say, yes you do. So that was his way of telling me the same thing.

And within about three weeks or so of being on the CD, he for the first time, unprompted anything, he just blurted out, I love you mom. And they’ve just been coming in tidal waves ever since. And he has, he’s literally, I’m seeing who my son is for the first time. It’s just been an incredible journey.

And I feel so blessed to have met so many people and for all that Kerri has done to get this information out to people. And it’s just been incredible.
