ATEC Drops from 55 to 23 with Early Intervention
The following testimonial is excerpted from pages 426-428 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.

My daughter was born Sept 9 2010 and she had pretty good health until she was 15 months, she was able to say five to ten words by then, she had all her vaccines on time as recommended by our pediatrician, and she was really lovely and happy but suddenly everything started to change slowly.
We noticed she started losing the words she had learned, she used to wave people saying hi, and suddenly she was not interested on waving anymore and she started to isolate herself little by little to the point she stopped being a happy girl, she barely looked at us and we started to worry about it, anyway, I believe the first thought every parent may have think in this very same situation is that her personality is different than other kids and is something temporary.
When she had 18 months we went to the regular doctor check and they asked us to get the opinion of a developmental pediatrician since her social and language skills were behind the expected, and this started the worst nightmare ever.
It seems like every single developmental pediatrician has a waiting list huge enough to have more than a couple months totally scheduled, we called on May and the first available appointment was 4 months later, we called like 4 or 5 of the recommended pediatricians and institutions but it was all the same thing, but we finally got a pediatrician, not from the recommended list, but he made room for us in a couple of weeks and we were able to see him in a couple of weeks.
The diagnosis was mild autism, the recommended treatment was ABA therapy and the follow up was going to be 1 year later since he did not have many expectations of positive changes in the next 6 months, we were devastated by this, my wife was in denial, and I started our journey to recovery the very same day, I started researching and suddenly I found tons of information about autism and people who claimed to have recovered their children from autism.
I sent emails everywhere and I never imagined I would have such a great response from every person I wrote extending me a helping hand on all my doubts with the most sincere and honest recommendations, 2 or 3 days later I found Autismo2.com website and I saw all the videos available.
I bought 3 or 4 books on amazon, I saw many hours of recordings and seminars in Spanish and English, and I was amazed about some kids losing their diagnosis, but also about how they were affected by heavy metals, bacteria, viruses and all sort of things.
At the beginning I thought my daughter could not be sick, she has never had a single cold, how come? but a home heavy metal screen test gave us the first clue, and some lab tests confirmed the very same problems all our kiddos share, mercury levels on the roof, candida, yeast, you name it.
I started the GFCFSF diet the first weekend after her confirmed diagnosis and just one week later we started noticing changes, then I started with baths with bentonite clay, and noticed more improvements, we also started ABA on July, and little by little our daughter started to improve, later on we introduced MMS baths, Quinton water, DE, probiotics, and she improved every day.
I honestly believe that the early diagnosis and prompt reaction from our side played a big role on her fast recovery, It happened that we never canceled the first appointment that was made with the most recommended developmental pediatrician, by then we were looking for a second opinion and a new evaluation due to her huge improvements, we never imagined this pediatrician will say what.
Although my history with this disease or condition has been very short nobody knows how much pain, stress and suffering had caused to our family, we now enjoy our daughter more than ever when we see her playing with her older sister and taking away every single concern we had, we continue keeping an eye on her development but she is doing really well, I wish nothing more than every single mother I have heard on the discussion groups I follow have the very same results we have had with all the guidance from such smart and courageous parents like Kerri Rivera and many others that shed us the light on our darkest night.
I am more than grateful with all of those parents, I would do anything on my reach to help them, we need to help every single kid and family that goes through this disease to recover our kids.
UPDATE:
I’m very happy to forward the last ATEC from my daughter, today we came from her 2 year check up with the new pediatrician and she found her pretty well, she just told us” It’s pretty hard to believe she was diagnosed with mild autism keep doing whatever you are doing, since I would say she is acting like a regular kid for her age.”
I would say that keeping in mind that most of her ATEC score is on the Language section, for a 2 year old and from what we came from she is on her way to full recovery (Previous ATEC was 55, at this writing was a 23)
