ATEC Drop and Autism Improvements with MMS
The following testimonial is excerpted from pages 432-433 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.

Luca came into our lives July 26, 2010. He was premature, but all my kids were born in week 35, so I was not surprised. He was perfect. I have thousands of videos of him looking into my eyes, smiling, playing with his sisters, following daddy to the door when he was ready to leave for work and saying bye bye. He walked at one, and was a perfect little baby.
It is hard to know exactly when he changed, but I can tell you when I started to get worried and saw him behaving differently. I had a neighbor the same age as my son, and when they got together to play I was surprised at how my neighbor’s son followed simple directions and looked into my eyes every time I called his name. When I had play dates with my friends, all the moms were so relaxed, and while they were talking and kids were playing with toys, I was always chasing Luca and trying to keep him in the same room because he was not interested in toys or playing with other kids.
My first trip to the zoo with my three kids was a disaster. Luca didn’t want to move from the monkeys’ area and had his first meltdown, all over the floor screaming and crying. I remember seeing all the families with kids the same age as my son, and seeing how they understood and paid attention to what their mothers or fathers were saying. For me that was enough to feel for the first time something was not right, and it was not that I was a bad mother. I knew deep in my heart it had nothing to do with discipline.
I enrolled him in a school thinking that would help. The first day when I picked him up the teacher said they needed to move him with the babies because he was not ready for the 2-year-old class. That day I came home just knowing—and despite all my family, friends, husband, and pediatrician thinking I was crazy, we got him evaluated and the rest is history. On November 15th, 2012 it was official and we got the papers. Classic autism. By that time we had read so much, watched hundreds of videos, and searched every day on the internet for interventions, schools, therapy, etc.
I remember I wanted to start ABA the same day that I got the diagnosis, but the waiting list was really long and we would have to wait. So we waited and started an early intervention program in the Kent District. Surprisingly, I think we took the diagnosis really well; we just wanted to help him as soon as possible.
After the first month I stopped asking for a miracle or cure. I even asked all family and friends to do the same. I needed to accept it!!! My miracle was already here. My husband wanted to do the gluten-free diet and I was not even 100% in agreement…why??? He is such a blessing; let our miracle eat whatever he wants!!! I agreed to do the diet anyway, but wasn’t really interested. I just had the feeling my husband was not “getting IT” or accepting autism = our new precious miracle.
Now I can recognize and see clearly I was in total denial too. I was so afraid to let anybody know, even myself, that I didn’t want this for Luca. I tried and tried and tried, but a voice inside of me was not in peace. I spent a lot of time crying and looking for recovery videos on YouTube, imagining Luca being one of them, and was fascinated with those stories.
Then one day I found Kerri Rivera’s conference in Bulgaria. It was a “Godcidence” (like my father always says). I wasn’t looking for MMS. I didn’t know anything about that. I remember I watched the conference 3 times, and I felt butterflies for the first time since I got the diagnosis. It was like that voice was finally quiet and listening to every single word. “I want this.”
I did my homework and found a lot of negative information about MMS, but I did not care…that voice was so strong that I knew, the same way I knew about Luca being autistic, that this was something I needed to explore. I looked for her on Facebook and to my surprise she answered me in minutes. When I asked her about the testimonies she connected me with some moms with recovered kids, real moms that decided to believe too.
After I saw pictures from before and after and reading about their journeys I felt hope!!! I knew deep in my heart this was the way and the path we should take. So I got my case together and when I was ready I talked to my husband about it.
It was easier than I expected. We wanted so badly to recover our son!!! It was not an easy process but finally after almost 3 months I GOT IT…WE GOT IT…THERE IS NOTHING WRONG TO WANT THIS. That is ALL we want for Luca!!!!
For the first time I recognized my kid’s autism was not a blessing, he was sick; GI problems, extreme constipation, food issues, sensory problems… and that voice (God voice) sounds really clear and loud: I NEED TO HELP MY KID TO RECOVER!!!!!!
On February 18th we started a dietary intervention with all Kerri’s recommendations. The diet that we were doing was full of sugar and carbohydrates, so we started to be really serious about all the food choices. We kept a very detailed food diary and ordered the MMS.
By March 12th when our bottles arrived at our doorstep we were ready to start Kerri Rivera’s Baby Bottle Protocol. March 13th we did our first bottle and that same day I asked Luca to look for a ball in the other room and give it to me—and he did.
It was like he was sleeping soundly, and then he woke up. He was extremely alert and he was looking in a different way. At first I thought I was crazy, but then my husband noticed it too and the changes kept coming. He improved dramatically in all his therapy sessions—his waiting time, sitting at the table, responding to commands, pointing, eye contact—everything improved!
Kerri recommended doing an ATEC when we started back on February 18th, so I did. His score was 64 points. By April 1st he dropped 20 points! He now follows simple directions, plays with his sisters, recognizes them by name, hugs me and says mommy and daddy, has close to 200 words, and every day is a surprise for us.
I’m proud to say my son is on his way to recovery AND HE WILL RECOVER, HE WILL BE RECOVERED!!!!!!!!
I’m loving Kerri Rivera’s protocol. I’m loving my kid dropping 20 points in his ATEC in a month. I’m loving searching his diaper and inspecting his poop finding parasites. I know it seems impossible but I truly get excited (probably some mothers would understand).
I’m loving this side of the picture FULL of hope. HOPE. I don’t think I can leave this road now. I don’t think I want my son to live in his “perfect” world and not in mine.
I’m a fighter and thanks to Kerri I’m a believer…THAT is the blessing right there. HOPE AND FAITH IN GOD IS ALL I HAVE AT THE MOMENT.
Luca is really special, but it’s not the autism that makes him special—autism sucks!!! Overcoming it and all the obstacles he encounters every day, and doing what he is doing now is what makes him the most special kid on the planet.
He always will be special to me no matter what, autism or not. I see it in his eyes now. He is a fighter like me. He is telling me what to do. Recovery is sooooo in the picture!!!!!! I can actually see it!!!!
I’m a HAPPY Mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
