Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social communication, behavior, and sensory processing that typically appear in early childhood. Individuals on the spectrum may experience challenges with social interaction, eye contact, language development, and understanding social cues, along with repetitive behaviors, focused interests, or heightened sensitivity to sounds, textures, or light. The severity and presentation vary widely, which is why it is described as a spectrum. The exact causes are not fully understood but are believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors affecting brain development. While autism is not a disease to be cured, early intervention, behavioral therapies, educational support, and tailored strategies can significantly improve communication skills, independence, and quality of life.

My daughter has had really bad SIB for over 4 years. We’ve been in the ER for massive goose-egg bumps on head, and she always had severe bruising on her tailbone and spine from dropping herself down, butt first and legs in a “W” position, onto the floor.
She would fling and flail herself into walls, tables, furniture, bang her head on all of the above and the floor, a rage like she was the girl from the Exorcist. Nothing could stop it. It just had to run its course… like a tornado. Comes out of nowhere, and it will disappear when it’s ready to. Nothing can stop it.
But after starting MMS, it was 80% better right away. Then after 3 weeks it started coming back. For a month it was really bad again, and we could not move up past 2 drops without her going crazy.
Then after you had us switch to the HCl, she was remarkably better in about 5-6 days. She has had a few “episodes” in the past 2 weeks, but now they can last 30 min max, where before MMS they would last anywhere from 15 min – 2 hours literally non-stop.
The year before starting MMS, there were times I had to lay her on the bed or couch and just sit on top of her, like on her butt so she couldn’t hurt herself. I would just lose strength after about 30-45 min of trying to hold her.

Hi Kerri,
Last week I contacted you regarding our 8 year old son and his focus issues and the disappearing act his mathematical skills have taken, and we’ve done our best follow through on your advice to up the number of doses to 16 per day.
I visited my son’s Integrative Medicine doctor this morning, who has been his biomed doctor for the last 3 or so years, to do a live cell microscopy and to see if he had any ideas about the focus issues our son has been having. I told my son’s doctor in detail what we’ve been up to over the last 10 months (MMS Protocol, Parasite Protocol) and he took it all in.
When he looked under the microscope he was shocked to see that our son’s nasty dysbiosis issues were gone! He told me that he’s had almost no luck completely getting rid of dysbiosis in a case like my son’s. The yeast beast is gone! He still has evidence of leaky gut but the drainage looks great.
He was so excited, our 20 minute scheduled visit turned into 40 minutes as he wanted to know all about what we did so he can find a way to use it in his practice. He also remarked that you must be one bright lady to come up with the protocol, but we already knew that. 🙂
He had us fill out an ATEC when we first visited him back in 2010 and our son was at 55. He dropped into the 30’s when we started him on Carnitine but the MMS protocol has brought him down to the 6.
The doctor also noticed the distinct lack of autistic behaviors, so it’s nice to get some outside feedback to help confirm what we are showing on the ATEC. I asked him directly if he thought we should change anything at this point and was direct…don’t change anything keep going. And so we continue on our quest for the zero ATEC. 🙂
About two years ago we did a chelation challenge test (DDI) and found our son extremely high in lead and so we proceeded with IV chelation at that time. He wants us to do a chelation challenge test to check the metals status just to rule out lead and the possibility that metals might be still at the heart of our son’s lack of focus and more ADHD like symptoms.
He wants me to send him some information on your MMS protocol. He attempted to use chlorine dioxide about 10 years ago and found that he couldn’t get the results that you are getting. I’ll send him to MMS Autism website but can I include your contact info (email)?
Thank you for being so patient with us and everyone. As you know full well when it involves your own kid the emotions come out and it’s hard to remain logical.

Drum roll….
I have been dying to share…
Been off MMS for a few weeks…AND HOLY SMOKES we are ALLLLL GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Summary…
My daughter—PANDAS—MAJOR sleep issues—fluctuate between diarrhea and constipation
Me—Acne—horrible—and nail fungus
ALL GONE. ALL.
NOBODY could EVER, ever, ever tell me why I broke out so much esp. with our squeaky clean diet.
First PP, OMG it was REALLY bad—worst ever—and became cystic—painful— so for SURE worse before better in my case BUT believed in protocol and KEPT GOING.
By month 4, GONE and yet to return
Fungus—gone in month 1, never to return
My daughter:
Well, you know, AMAZING!!!!!
YOU, Kerri, YOU helped me figure out FINALLLLLY after a zillion docs, WHY MY KID could NOT SLEEP! EVER! 7 LONG years… long long—exhausting years—and it was PARASITES NO DOUBT in my mind! Month 1 of PP, literally like a light switch, SLEEPING —falling asleep ON HER OWN—(not with a circus routine to “get her to sleep”) AND staying asleep ALL NIGHT LONG! UNREAL! This is HUGE!
AND bye bye PANDAS (Silver/Aloe nipped it, MMS maintained her gains, BEAUTIFULLY!) SO I do believe in our Silver Aloe protocol for PANDAS, 100% worked for us! AND MMS. Both.
AND since OFF MMS, my daughter is 100% pooping NORMAL—OMG first time in her WHOLE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (on MMS it was still fluctuating…) AND she is eating things she would have NEVER ever touched! EVER! Raw veggies, nuts, trying EVERYTHING I make… unreal… this is HUGE too… the “healthier” you get, your tastes DO change… and one becomes less “picky”
I have learned that SOME probiotics can literally throw a child into a PANDAS rage—and also brought back MY symptoms—literally within 12 hours of consuming. (Like “Regarding Caroline” posted) This clearly happened to us. Mental note: NOT all prob’s are appropriate for everyone. We react to fermented food—so I am going to experiment with no prob’s and with THeralac __ONLY THeralac BTW
Now,
We are back to silver/aloe, daily, as prevention
We will still take DE (prevention)
Vit D3
Trace Mineral Drops
Enemas as needed
AND I am going to go BACK to the herbs for 3 months around full moon “just in case”—
I CANNOT WAIT to meet you in person, THANK YOU, and share our story with EVERYONE that will “hear me”.
Again, my daughter did not have ‘autism’ per se, but autoimmune issues, meaning that, perhaps, her treatment protocol is ‘shorter’ then someone who is “more sick’ etc. if that makes sense.
We also did a boat load of work prior to this. Meaning diet in place, for instance, for 4 years already—so healing began. This was the final layer for us. The frosting on the cake!!!!!
I have 2 brand new bottles of MMS in my cabinet 🙂 AND will ALWAYS have it on stock!
With MUCH LOVE and respect to you Kerri. -Jeni, IL, USA
ATEC Score Dropped from Over 100 to Single Digits

Drum roll please…….my son is 17 years old. He’s been on mms for 5 months now, I’m so excited I don’t even know, could it be 6? I think we started late July.
He started with a 63…….he is now a 7. He went from 63 to 25 in just a few weeks, then a 13 a couple months later, now a 7. I feel like I’m cheating every time. I go back and look, argue with myself, nitpick….but whether he’s a 5, 7 or 9, it’s nothing short of a miracle because just one year ago, he was WAY over 100. The ATEC is not perfect, not even close. There are things that the ATEC does not show. All that is true, but this is incredible improvement that no doctor I know would have ever been able to accomplish. Been there, did that, spent the 425K+.
And no, it’s not just MMS, but that has been the main treatment and everything else we do supports MMS and general health because I believe that in the end, it’s a battle between your immune system…and all that’s attacking it. We are winning and I sure do wish they would STOP CALLING IT AUTISM. That alone hurts so many.
Here’s a little background on my son: Matthew was very high functioning from age 6-12. That was after diet since 3, floortime play therapy, some aba, AIT, IVIG, chelation for a year, OIG, years of infusions of glutathione, vitamin C, B-com, etc…immune stuff. Then he did very well GFCF ages 6-12, ran track (very well), 2nd degree black belt, boxing lessons, etc….Then puberty hit, and what I did not know about, Lyme and co-infections RAGED, and for around 3 years, I lost him cognitively, worse, worse, worse. At 15, he was like an advanced Alzheimer’s patient, ADVANCED, he had lost ALL short-term memory, it was horrible, he struggled to think and could not.
He became more and more violent; choking me, kicking me, did I say he was a blackbelt? Even though he lost everything cognitively, like the ability to answer a question, those karate skills popped back into his head and he nearly killed me…. really close a couple times.
That was a year ago when his ATEC was over 100. So, here’s what worked: 1. Low amylose diet helped with the constant urinating. (he acted like a diabetic and had 14 of 16 PANDAS symptoms so auto-immune) 2. Biofeedback helped calm him some. 3. Cholestyramine helped him psychologically – I could see him clear up mentally in minutes. (chemical/mold/dust sensitivities big time) By this time, his doc had him on Ketamine for pain. 4. PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field device) stopped the pain in 6 weeks, got him off of Vicodin, which was not working anyway at double doses, and all the Ketamine. I hated drugging him. Got him off the psych drugs over 6 months time. Then he got a lot better but communication did not really come around until 5. MMS. BAM. Big improvements in communication and PERSONALITY. With MMS, even his laugh changed to a typical sounding teenager’s laugh, and for the first time in years, he can sit still and stop pacing, pacing pacing….the parasites were eating him alive….and now more recently, I know 6. Hydro-colonics is taking us to another level of clear communication. Now there’s lots of spontaneous language.
I write things on Facebook so that I can remember and maybe write a book one day. I don’t care how bad things get, believe me, your kids can get better and it’s amazing, they really do store up all this info that you didn’t think was there. It is there, and they will share it with you one day.
I hope one day Matthew can share his perspective with others. It’s just that it has taken a very long time for us to help him understand that the things he did back then were not in his control so I’m careful not to talk about it. For months he would out of the blue apologize and feel terrible, over and over. Then there’s memories of his dad losing it also….protecting me.
Thankfully, Matthew has blacked out or forgotten a lot of it. He did say he remembers being locked in his room. We had to turn the lock around and sometimes lock him in there. Bad memories. We were all traumatized. But not anymore. He is a different person today but he’s always been the sweetest boy I know. I knew that, even back then. One day, he’ll probably talk more about it.

Hi Kerri,
First of all a HUGE big thank you for what you are doing with our children! My daughter has been on MMS two weeks now and she is like a different child!!!!!!!! Every day she gets better…By leaps and bounds. She WILL be one of your recovered ones 😉
UPDATE:
My daughter has now been on MMS for three weeks. ATEC down from 78 to 44. This IS a miracle. We have been in absolute desperation for almost three years trying to figure out what in the world is going on with our child. After hundreds of thousands of dollars, experts all over the world, LA, New York, San Fransisco… and nothing would work. Minor improvements but nothing that I could say really worked. Everyone always agreed that she probably does not have “autism” but what is making her behave that way?!?!?! So a long story short… If I could I would wrap my arms around all of you helping my daughter and so many others through MMS until I was sure you truly understand what your dedication means and that you are saving lives…literally <3 This is by far the biggest thing that has ever happened to my family. We are forever thankful.
UPDATE #2
I sent you my daughter’s ATEC a week ago but redid it today. We started MMS in December and I decided I will do the test every month. Here are the results, 4 more points gone!!!! In 1 month from 78 to 40… Almost half off!!!!!! Her team is blown away 😉 all we need now is that language score to come down… Kerri my goal is to have her recovered by A1!!!
Update #3
We are seeing such amazing improvements every single day. I think the true testament is the daily feedback from people working with her who do not know we are doing MMS. Here is part of a note from her SLP “ her communication on the whole is truly remarkable- words, iPad, eye contact…everything is improving!!!!!!! So exciting. Has anyone told you lately that your daughter is a superstar? You should be so proud. :)” And I am…
Our main challenge has always been anxiety and today we had a breakthrough on that front. Instead of clinging to me for her dear life when I separate from her at school she took her friends hand, waived AND said goodbye and walked away… Here is the best part, she then turned her head, waived and gave me the biggest smile . Her face at that moment is forever engraved to my heart.
Also for the first time EVER my son was able to have a friend come over from school in our car without her having a major meltdown. Instead she shared her iPad with the friend to show him her program and use it TOGETHER!
Honestly I think our major challenge at the moment is for the rest of the family to heal with her… We had lost all hope and settled for life with Autism. We can now look at the future very differently and actually look forward to it! Love our new life
UPDATE #4
I have never really posted gains but this is too huge not to share. We started MMS 3,5 months ago and at that point I could hardly take my daughter to
the grocery store. And even if I did it was a guaranteed meltdown. Well we
just got home from a two week long vacation that included travel by air, time difference, different language, going from hot weather to freezing temps and piles of snow, totally different foods, nothing but strangers to her, visit after visit to new places… The list goes on and on. The BEST part – the vacation was full of excitement, fun, laughter and happiness every single day I have to pinch myself to believe this is my life after such a short time on MMS. Thank you all for your support and guidance I have my life back and can’t wait for the future now! We still have a looooong way to go but we’ll get there.
Today is a wonderful day already.

Today is a wonderful day already.
My daughter got up to her alarm, took a shower without help, got dressed, packed her lunch, woke up her sisters, and is now getting breakfast for everyone ready. It amazes me how independent she is becoming, and how much our life is changing because of her new independence.
She is 10 and we started MMS in Sept. She had done 5 PP and following the PANDAS protocol the last week after emailing Kerri Rivera last weekend with concerns about eye fluttering.
She is also on Fish oil, garlic, Magnesium, and GABA.
Before she was very hyper, spacey, a lot of language, but not using it correctly. She was extremely impulsive, and would fixate on object to play with and ignore others.
Now she does reciprocal play, she talks back and forth with her friends, she cracks jokes that are now actually funny. She is focused with her school work and not hyper – except in typical situations.
This week my husband forgot to pick her up to take her to therapy and she came to my classroom to tell me how irresponsible he was, and that she was disappointed in his inconsistent behaviors.
I had to laugh, but at the same time I was so proud as I explained to her the whole situation because we where having a fabulous discussion about life.
She is doing so well.
Thank you to all of you who have restored some of my hope that there is a cure.

Feeling really good still about my Natalie’s progress from the combination of anti-parasitic medication, the supportive components of the PP and CD (HCL version). Natalie is about 63-64 lbs and she takes 2 drops of CD an hour both at home and at school. We don’t wake her for CD in the middle of the night; but if she wakes for the restroom or something, then we give her another 2 drops (we just keep it pre-mixed in the bathroom near her bedroom).
CD has been the single most important catalyst to Natalie’s improvements/healing over the past 10.5 months; utilizing all three modes of delivery (oral, baths and enemas). Kerri having escorted CD into the ASD community is like a Miracle, in my opinion. Sorry… I don’t mean to be corny nor impose my Beliefs on anybody else; but I sometimes find it hard to contain my Joy now and I get chills just thinking about all of the children now feeling better and/or beginning to feel better and better with CD.
Before CD, it was hard to feel Hope for my special little Natalie; who was formerly suffering very extreme PANS flares and re-flares monthly as well as rapid-onset grand mal (tonic clonic) seizures every 2.5-3 weeks on top of her ASD and global developmental disabilities.
Now Natalie’s PANS ‘flares’ if/when they occur are waaaayyy less intense and better-controlled/’snufffed out’ with CD than the former roller-coaster of oral antibiotics that her Drs had tried for years, her seizure activity is decreasing significantly and we’ve even begun a slow reduction in her anti-seizure med Lamictal ODT. We’re optimistic that Natalie will be able to remain stable on less and less of that med, as we feel it might be causing her some nasty side effects. Our Hope for her is that she might even be able to come fully off of Lamictal ODT, as we continue CD and PP for her. Time will tell.
While she’s still a ‘work in progress’ [Note: She’s 14 years old and been ill since infancy and it’s a bit harder to heal longterm infection(s) and/ or infestation(s)], we do see lowering ATECS in Natalie’s future and brighter and brighter days. Patience is a virtue. So Grateful.
Thank you Kerri and all you supportive Moms & Dads. More and more healing to come to ALL of our children!
