From Tantrums to Calm Cooperation
The following testimonial is excerpted from pages 375-376 of Healing the Symptoms Known as Autism, 2nd Edition by Kerri Rivera, published in 2014.
The book outlines a protocol in which chlorine dioxide is a key component. More recent editions have since been released with updated information.

Just wanted to share that on 21/8/13 my son’s ATEC was 46. I just redid it because we’re at the start of our first PP, and his score has come down to 31!
The big improvement came after introducing CD enemas 3 weeks ago. Although he’s been on oral CD for about 2 months, it was always the case that if I missed a dose within 1/2 hour he’d be sensory, inflexible, super-anxious, shouting, aggressive, etc., and I’d have to syringe it down him. But within 10 minutes of dosing, the lightswitch would flick on and he’d be in control and a calm, loving boy again.
Since the 3 enemas I gave him 3 weeks ago (only 3 because then his brother had one, panicked, screamed, and totally freaked out my 4-year-old who up till then had said he liked them because they made him feel good afterwards), his personality has been shining through again. There’s less panic/anxiety, less sensory issues, and there’s no ‘reaction’ if I miss a dose or more of CD.
I’ve seen more improvements this week. On Monday he decided to sit down and colour and proceeded to colour neatly, inside the lines. He was so pleased with himself! (He used to colour so neatly, but about 6 months ago his colouring became scribbly and he was frustrated that he couldn’t do it neatly anymore.)
Then tonight, when I asked him to hop out of the bath, HE DID! He stood up, stepped out, and as I handed him a towel he took it and said, “thank you mummy,” and wrapped himself in it and walked out—all completely relaxed—like it was usual!!!
WWWOOAHAHH! Yes! He has never done this. It’s always tantrums, always arguing, needs to bathe longer, has to be made to get out, refuses to step out, has to be lifted, needs me or hubby to wrap and dress him, and usually all while panicking, crying, demanding, arguing, or screaming because it’s cold, different, he doesn’t want to, it’s not right, etc.
I just can’t believe what happened tonight! I’m still astounded. It’s like the Finlay we ‘know’ isn’t Finlay, and now we’re beginning to see who he really is!
So I’m REALLY excited about our 1st PP. We’re already seeing full moon behaviours, and although tough, it’s been great to see them because it’s a reminder of what Finlay was like every day until 3 weeks ago!
He’s already healing. It’s soooo exciting! Thank you Kerri—may God bless you and all the children on this protocol. Healing, here we come!
