Our 10 year old son, Ben, showed symptoms of autism since he was an infant. Until he was 6, he never connected normally with family or peers. As his mother, I ached for a hug, to be called “Mommy,” or for a lingering look of love. I never got them.
Until he was diagnosed with autism at age five, I was utterly befuddled. What had I done? What was wrong with Ben? Why didn’t he want to play with other children? Why did he drool endlessly, laugh constantly for no reason, and bolt from play dates and parties with no warning? Why was he constantly lethargic, to the point where we called him “the playdough boy?”
Ben was always happy, dwelling far from us, in his own perfect little heaven. My husband and I were depressed, even despondent, despite attempts at gluten-free, casein-free diets, ABA therapy, and many supplements, because we saw no substantive and lasting changes in our child.
Finally we found the Son-Rise Program, which brought Ben back to us. After three-plus years of a mostly full-time Son-Rise Program, Ben became highly interactive, engaged, and interested in his peers. That alone was a palpable miracle. As we say in Hebrew, Dayeinu! That would have been sufficient. But we constantly experienced regressions back into autistic symptoms. For no apparent reason, and despite endless biomedical interventions, including the DAN! protocol—to the tune, I might add, of tens of thousands of dollars, multiplied over four to five years—Ben would suddenly revert to autistic behaviors, and we would lose contact. He became once again non-responsive, uninterested in family or peers, and seemingly unable to connect. Only the day before, he had been totally connected.
After being on the SCD and GAPS diets, and finding even them ineffective to alleviate these regular and devastating returns to autism, we were advised by Dr. Campbell-McBride that it sounded to her as if Ben had parasites. A friend of mine who was also a Son-Rise mom had mentioned to me that she and another Son-Rise mom friend of ours were trying something called “MMS.” When I heard the words for which the acronym stood, I gave an internal scoff. “Master Mineral Solution? Is this a joke?”
I can tell you, in all seriousness, that now, five and a half months into our MMS autism protocol, MMS is definitely no joke. Since starting MMS, we have seen nothing but progress in Ben. We are still doing GAPS, but avoiding foods we know Ben cannot yet digest. Ben’s ATEC score has dropped from 43 when we started MMS to a startling 20. We are seeing sustained, natural, unsolicited and consistent eye contact, like never before. Ben is consistently responsive, certainly on par with most 10 year old boys. He is playing hockey in our driveway with friends. He is solicitous of others, and compassionate when others are hurt in any way. He is funny, expressively loving, and eager to please and be loved. It makes me cry to write this. I wanted this so badly, and now, with MMS leading the other interventions, I have what I prayed for.
We are not perfect on the MMS. Ben is in his first year of school post-Son-Rise, and dosing during the school day is not easy. But we are tremendously hopeful and excited.
I truly believe, as Kerri Rivera has often said, that parasites are the missing piece of the autism puzzle. Like so many other warrior parents, we have done everything. But everything minus one was not enough for Ben. Now, I think we truly have the tools, and it is only a matter of time, faith, and love, to fully and permanently recover our beloved Ben.

My wife and I have always been fond of traveling, getting to know different cultures and people, this is why when we had our little one we decided to keep traveling but to adapt to his rhythm.
When he was 9 months old he went on his first international journey. Everything was perfect, he was the happiest baby on the plane, he played with the people in the seats behind us, the stewardess wanted to stay with him to play, all the plane ride went along perfectly.
Something happened between his 15th and 18th month, his smile was gone, we no longer had happiness in our home, only nerves and less language. Maybe the excessive vaccines were destroying his immune system and leaving the door open for parasites to take hold.
When he was 18 months we went on a second trip and it was an absolute nightmare. He wouldn’t stop crying and screaming on the plane, he didn’t want to play with anybody. We spent a few days getting to know this new place while our baby fell further into this abyss in front of our astonished eyes.
Something was wrong, and after an episode of auto aggression we knew that this was not normal. After watching a couple of videos on the Internet we started to understand, and we went to a psychologist who didn’t give us a diagnosis because our son was so young.
Later on we went to a neuro-pediatrician who also used the excuse of our son’s young age to dismiss us, and finally a last doctor who didn’t explain anything either.
Not even our family listened because they thought we were exaggerating. We were left alone and our biggest ally was and still is the Internet.
After the medical failure and their “anti-diagnosis” we took the best and most important decision of our lives, that was not to listen to any of the diagnoses, or to wait another 6 months to be called by the neuro-pediatrician again. We started down this road without an official diagnosis but with all the symptoms and behaviors that define autism.
We started with the casein, gluten and soy free diet with no experience on how to do it and our baby suffered awful withdrawal symptoms. We couldn’t believe what we were seeing, his nervousness and aggression took us to our limits. After a few days on the diet his tantrums went down little by little until he was stable. But we needed something else because everything was out of control; this is when we went back to the Internet.
After three months of false doctors and pseudo medical experts we found Kerri Rivera.
She gave us hope, and filled us with confidence, but most importantly she was clear with us from the beginning. Everything she told us was logical and everything made sense as to why it was done so we trusted her without a moment’s doubt.
He got better and better everyday. Kerri told us how to do the ATEC and what it meant. Our first result was 57 points when he was 2 years old, which was very high for us because of his young age.
We have been doing everything Kerri suggests, improving the diet, and using everything she recommends, and the results have been spectacular, right now he is 2 years and 10 months old, his ATEC is 8 and he is doing great. Our goal is to have him at 0, and I’m certain that once we free his intestines of all the parasites, he will be a strong, healthy and happy boy.
He doesn’t have any behaviors like the ones he had one year ago, now he smiles again, he talks and asks for things, he plays a lot and he is happy.
This was possible thanks to his Godmother Kerri.
Kerri, you have done and given us everything in exchange for nothing, and that is your defining quality as a human being and as a person.
Every day you give hope to all that YES WE CAN defeat Autism and now we have a lot of puzzle pieces to complete our puzzle. We may find a new one soon because there are a lot of people investigating and that makes us feel alive, to fight against the entire circus that has sprung up around this problem.
I would recommend that if anyone is not seeing progress in their children, to come to Kerri, and try everything she says word for word. She has done it all and has the best investigators and doctor on her side. The ones that aren’t intimidated by the absurd laws of the upper echelon, those who only want our children to be sick all their lives so they can sell medicine to us.
We will keep up the fight.

Dear Kerri and the readers,
I would like to say that we started giving MMS to my son Filip, autistic/PDD NOS, when he turned 5 years old, after having tried lots of things (diet, many different supplements, HBOT, some sort of behavioral therapy Teach and ABA), we have seen enormous changes already in the first month.
I had heard about MMS from a mom of an autistic child. I started reading about it, but was not impressed by the comments I read on the internet. I contacted a few mums that I knew from the Son-Rise programme in the US and they have reassured me that it works miracles.
I was however very sceptical of MMS, as I have read so many “negative” comments on the internet. This is why I decided to start it myself for a few months to see what would happen to me. Also, I had to figure out how I was gonna dose MMS 8 – times a day, when I am working 10 hours a day and Filip is going to the kindergarden.
In fact, I was just feeling great when I started using MMS.
I wanted to start with my son when on holiday, but my husband displaced MMS bottles by mistake. I was so mad. I have only found them the last day when we were returning home. I have immediately decided to give one drop to Filip before we started to drive. I need to underline that my husband was very sceptic. Filip would at that time speak, but it would mostly be scripting and rarely would he say things in context. Otherwise he also had other autism symptoms- tantrums, no friends, low muscular tone, no drawing, obsessive occupations ( in Filip’s case watching cartoons and reading books), no sense of danger, wandering out, nose picking, scratching but, toe walk etc. But suddenly Filip started commenting everything in the car, asking questions, observing the things he would see from the car etc. Me and my husband looked at each other and my husband commented “ Maybe it is working after all”.
Filip’s ATEC was 48 at the time we started. At start, my mother-in-law helped out in dosing and we were able to dose 8 times a day. Filip’s ATEC fell to 32 the first month. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law read some horrible stories on the internet and the FDA’s advice was detrimental for her decision to stop dosing Filip, even though she was seeing wonderful results, she was scared and said that she is only believing the official medicine, admitting that the official medicine has nothing to offer our son.
I was very disappointed, but continued to dose as much as I could, however not reaching the recommended 8 times a day. I was therefore only able to dose 4-5 times a day. I started telework on Friday’s in order to at least get 8-10 doses in on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and 4-5 doses the rest of the week. My son was great in November (the volunteers working on Son-Rise with Filip were commenting on unprecedented success), but his ATEC only fell to 28, I would say due to low dosing the progress was slower. Filip was having some hard times in January, when he was more hyperactive. At that time we have also introduced the GcMaf injections, which could have added to Filip’s hyperactiveness.
But since two weeks now Filip is back to his shape. He is so communicative, uses unseen vocabulary, amazes us every day, he started drawing without being prompted, communicates with everyone, was invited to a birthday from a girl at the kindergarden, started to dress without prompting, started to tell me: “Common mummy, hurry up, let’s go.” or “Where are you mummy? What are you doing?” or when he occasionally wakes up during the night “Is it day already?” or “I should not go on the street, because a car can hit me” or “Daddy, you are not sad, you look angry” or just yesterday when he draw a picture in the kindergarden he said to his teacher “I want to show it to my mum”. The list goes on and on and every day I have to thank the all mighty for having led me to Kerri and to the MMS protocols. I know we are on the right path to recovery and I am not scared of the future any more. And, finally, i just did his ATEC to check out his ATEC- it is 16!!!!!! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!!!!!!
Kerri, thank you!!!!!!!!!

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)
Autism Improvements After 7 Months of MMS Use

We are now in our 7th month of using MMS (CD) and in our 4th year of treating B.D., our son, who was diagnosed Autism.
Our first week of MMS (CD) brought on a skill that we had spent years trying to accomplish, overnight potty training. Week 1 of MMS (CD) and B.D. was out of pull-ups and in underwear. We weren’t even close to full dose and already seeing positives. We knew we were on to something big at this point.
One month later, we all witnessed my son blow out his birthday candles and open birthday gifts. Probably the first time he knew this event was a birthday and it was meant for him. As a gift to him, we took a trip to Disneyland. Not only did B.D. walk the entire park at our side, but he never once cried, whined, or objected to anything on the trip. Prior to this, he had to be in a stroller or wagon at all times.
B.D.’s skills continued to flourish over the next few months. We enrolled B.D. in swimming lessons hoping he would feel comfortable without a life jacket on and clinging to an adult. This hope turned into a major accomplishment. B.D. has passed all Beginner levels in swimming and is now on to Intermediate. He is now swimming unassisted in the deep end of the pool!
I used to hold my breath during his sessions hoping he wouldn’t do anything that would scare the other kids in the pool. I still hold my breath, but now I’m at the end of my seat recording him as he’s giving every single bit of effort to learn from his instructor and pass another level!
Just the other day, we went to a birthday party that was held in a warehouse full of screaming kids, loud music, inflatable jumpy houses and slides. This place can over stimulate just about anyone! In the past, my son would vocally stim, cover his ears, run behind the jumpers where the generators are (trying to turn them off) and require me, or his Dad to keep him engaged with the rest of the kids.
Well, not anymore! He blended right in with the rest of the kids! Not a single stim, didn’t cover his ears, stood in lines, listened and followed the rules and instructions, stood in lines and PLAYED with the other kids.
His Dad and I were able to hang out with all the other parents, watching him run and whiz by with all the other kids as if that is how it has always been. Only it hasn’t.
He has come so very far in the past 7 months. We have a 6 year old son who no longer has sound sensitivity, loves to eat whatever is placed in front of him, DRINKS tons of WATER, has manners, shows empathy, is careful and aware of other kids (especially babies and toddlers), making progress academically, and so very affectionate.
B.D. isn’t recovered… YET, but we expect it to happen now more than ever. We have to put our shades on because the end of the tunnel just got closer and brighter!
Mother Describes Daughter’s Severe Regression and Later Improvements
Summary:
Sue describes her daughter Natalie’s lifelong health struggles, including mitochondrial disease, repeated infections, hospitalizations, cognitive regression, autism diagnosis, aggressive behavior, immune problems, and seizures.
After years of medical treatments, DAN doctors, special diets, immune globulin therapy, and rotating medications, Sue says she discovered antiparasitic treatment and later the MMS protocol connected with Kerri Rivera. She reports rapid signs of calmness and awareness after the first very small dose, followed by gradual improvements, reduced medications, lower ATEC score, and longer seizure-free periods.
Transcript:
My name is Sue and my daughter has been very ill all her life, from birth actually.
She started, gosh, she started getting really ill at about two weeks of age. Pneumonia, different things happening to her, many hospitalizations, ear infections, many hospitalizations.
At any rate, we were told to get a muscle biopsy and we learned through that muscle biopsy that she has mitochondrial disease.
So we of course sought out the best doctors that we could seek at that time, that we could find at that time, excuse me. And we employed many, many different medical treatments on my daughter to try to help her feel better.
And part of those treatments were a lot of antibiotics, a lot of antibiotics over the years. And also the mitochondrial specialists at the time were telling us that you really should make sure that every single year you give that girl a flu vaccine and your entire family. Because, you know, she has mitochondrial disease and so she’s going to be more susceptible. She’s, you know, going to want to protect her.
So we did this. And every single flu vaccine that she was given, she ended up in the pediatrician’s office the day two later. And she somehow bounced back, you know, a little bit. But she was always weak, always fragile, always sick.
Ear tubes, always occupational therapy, speech therapy, you know, everything. She started to kind of get a little bit better with a lot of in-home nursing care and my quitting my job and a lot of care.
Somewhere around 2003, and we were getting more help for her. We were really excited. 2003, 2004, like, hey, she’s getting prepared to go into kindergarten, a special needs type of kindergarten, one for mildly cognitively impaired children, but nonetheless, a kindergarten in a general ed setting. And she was happy.
And we gave her another flu shot in 2005.
[Crying]
She regressed so rapidly. She went from being, you know, mildly cognitively impaired, I’m sorry, to severely, multiply impaired classification in the school.
Sorry, I wasn’t prepared for this. Severely multiply impaired. She could no longer be in that mild kindergarten anymore. Mildly impaired kindergarten anymore. She could no longer be integrated with normal children. Not even the least bit.
She had to be moved to an autism classroom. And it was, you know, a classroom of five children and three adults. And she was the worst one in that group of five children. She could not function at all. Barely at all.
So everything fell apart. And this happened, it was September of 2005, she got that flu shot. And she was rapidly degressed. By October, November, December, she had fallen apart within a couple months.
And the school systems take a while to make the adjustments. But by that April of 06, they did make the adjustments to that very heavy, intense need for her supports. And in 06 of April, we got an autism diagnosis.
So we had the medical side and we had the school side of her deterioration.
So of course I sought out the DAN doctors and we went that route for years, very diligently for years. And actually I started the gluten-free diet in 05 because I was already sensing and researching, you know.
And so gluten-free, casein-free diet in late 05 and then 06 became all the DAN supplements folded in and all that, you know. And, you know, there was some improvement initially, but then it just seemed like over the years things weren’t improving. They were getting worse and worse and worse.
07, 08, more aggression, more irritability, not only towards the caregiver myself, attacking kids at school, attacking them, attacking para-educators. My little, at that time, probably roughly 45-pound little infant girl, excuse me, infant girl, was attacking like an animal and could barely stay in school.
We had to switch school systems to try to find even more support for her. So I was really frustrated.
Things degraded even more to the point where she needed immune globulin therapy every four weeks. She’d get an injection of immune globulin into her vein to try to give her some immune support to try to combat these illnesses that kept on reoccurring in her.
And then the DAN doctor at the time, very generous and kind man, he was trying so hard for her, he said, well, let’s try every three weeks now. That still didn’t do it.
So we made another change. We said goodbye to that doctor, thank you for all your efforts. We made another change to the local hospital because we felt that we needed the local hospital support in case things continue to get worse for her.
[Crying] Excuse me.
We got her with an immune specialist and he put her on weekly immune globulin, which is subcutaneous. It’s less invasive. You don’t have to find a vein. You just go under the skin. So then weekly therapies.
Still didn’t do it. She was still attacking. She was still uncomfortable, still not sleeping well. She was not having a quality of life at all that she deserved.
And I was on Facebook, not on Facebook, on email, a Yahoo group, a support group of moms that I try to research like all autism moms do. And this one gal was talking about the moon.
She seems like she’s lost it. I mean, I thought I had already lost it. And she’s talking about the moon. Okay, whatever. And I’d see her emails periodically.
And one time, there was this one evening that Natalie had such a bad evening of weird crying, weird crying in a way that we had never heard before. Almost like a possessed kind of cry before bed.
And I looked at her dad, my husband, I said, this is weird. Something’s weird. And that email I had just read, again, the earlier in the day, I ran down to my computer at that very moment. And I went to Farmer’s Almanac.
And it’s full moon. It’s full moon. And that’s that crazy, crazy laughter. And it’s full moon. I knew that that crazy lady, that crazy mom wasn’t so crazy.
So then I knew what I was dealing with, at least to some degree. And I contacted her doctor. And I was emphatic.
Her pediatrician, I said, we need to, we need to give her an antiparasitic. This is what I think is going on based on all the research I had done. Give her an antiparasitic medication.
Things started to improve. Reports home from school. Natalie did this or Natalie did that where she hadn’t been doing things before. She hadn’t had behavior of hitting or pulling someone’s hair or biting or pinching or kicking. Oh, I could name the behaviors.
So we were onto something. I was really pleased. And we kept on with these antiparasitic meds. We’d rotate very various ones.
I was lucky enough to have found a doctor who was willing to see my passion and trust me. And I told that doctor, I will bring her in for as much blood work as you want me to bring her in. You have to do this for me.
And so there was a relationship where he allowed me to rotate various antiparasitic and sure enough, she improved.
But there was still some strain there. And I couldn’t figure it out what it was. Why? Why it was still going on?
Well, of course, she was still on antifungals daily, antibiotics daily, antivirals daily, and now an antiparasitic daily, rotating whatnot. So she had very complicated medical life.
And I ran into a friend of mine at Costco, an acquaintance who also had a special needs child with autism. And we were just chit-chatting back and forth over the Costco shelves.
And I told her, I said, no, we’ve been doing some antiparasitic on Natalie and they seem like they’re helping. I said, but I was expressing to her, you know, that some kind of strain is still there. I can’t.
And this friend of mine explained, she said, you know, maybe they’re having a hard time coming out. I didn’t really know what that meant. Because I hadn’t had that much time to research coming out.
She goes, you know, coming out, coming out of, you know, in the poop.
So I said, well, she goes, you know, there’s this, this, this woman who I’ve connected with Sue on the computer and she’s from Mexico.
I’m like, I said, I think, I think I know who you’re talking about. I said that to my friend, because I had just again been on Google and I was looking for mineral water, because I felt like, well, maybe this missing piece is maybe Nellie’s not getting enough minerals supplementation.
You know, you’re on the gluten-free diet. You don’t know. You want to make sure that she’s safe.
And I had Google mineral water and up pop Andreas Kalcker video. And I watched these videos. One, this was, this would have been November of 2011.
And I watched these videos around Thanksgiving and I saw this Andreas Kalcker talking and talking. And everything he was saying was making sense to me somehow, even though I didn’t understand the science. It was making logical sense to me, but I didn’t know, can I put, employ that, that technique, that product on someone so sick as this little girl, so sick? I didn’t know.
And I had actually again Googled again on a different evening, sometime around November or early December timeframe of 2011. Mineral water, because I thought, I want to look into that a little bit And Kerri Rivera popped up.
And she was, she had a tropical background. It was a nice, she was pouring and mixing and showing, displaying how to mix this product that Andreas was talking about. I didn’t know that they knew each other necessarily at this point, because I was still learning.
But when my friend at Costco said to me, hey, I know this woman. I said, is she, she has this beautiful face and she’s smiling like this in her video. She goes, yeah.
I said, and she said, Kerri Rivera. I said, yes, that’s who I was talking to, or who I saw in the video.
Anyways, within a week, that friend at Costco got me connected with another friend who had some spare MMS. And I went over to her house and she showed me how to mix the first drops.
And it was July 9th of 2012. And I’ll never forget it, because I’m sorry.
One eighth of a drop. One eighth. She took that afternoon at my friend’s house and we came home.
And I was in the kitchen getting ready to prepare dinner. And Nellie was watching me. She was watching me. Sitting there calmly, calmly sitting and observing me.
And I had never, never witnessed that ever in my life from her. And I knew, I knew from that moment, that moment I saw her, I said this, there’s something to this.
And we found a way to help my daughter finally feel better. I knew.
Anyways, the shock of it all, but delight too at the same time. She went and I had her go jump on the neighbor’s trampoline like she always liked to do. And she jumped.
But it was different. I was watching her from the kitchen, you know, and make sure she was safe and netted trampoline, of course. She stopped jumping.
She was looking around and she looked in the neighbor’s house. She looked up at the birds. She looked down at the grass. And it was different. It was different. Ken, this is just one-eighth of a drop.
Normally, on the trampoline, she would just be constantly bouncing, constantly flapping, looking, you know, never ever ability to focus, not one iota. You know, she could never attend to occupational speech therapy very well, hardly at all, because of that too, you know, in her past.
But yeah, so she came in from the trampoline. I said, Natalie, what are you doing out there?
Because I did see her doing a little bit of what is referred to as tick spitting. She has a little, you know, so I did see that she would kind of spit towards the sunlight, but it wasn’t consuming her, which was amazing.
She came, I said, I said, what are you doing out there? She goes, it’s sensory. She said to me about the spitting. It’s sensory.
Sensory. So what this tells me is she, all those years, and I’m talking with occupational therapists or teachers and trying to explain to people that all that spitting thing is a sensory input thing. She needs that, you know, visual stimming and oral stimming. And it’s a sensory thing.
She’s, you know, she was hearing me all those years. And she told me, it’s sensory, mom. Never had she ever said before. Anyways, more confirmation.
So from there, the story continues, of course, that I employed the MMS protocol of Kerri Rivera’s. I took out all the antioxidants from the DAN protocol. It was basically you’re doing a 180 away from DAN to the Kerri protocol and took some time.
This takes time, especially with a fragile one, as fragile as my Natalie. And we started seeing more, more good reports coming from home.
It’s a little rocky because with someone so sick, you have to move very, very slowly up on the drops. I could only go up, you know, I couldn’t go up as fast as some children could go up.
But I was able to go up and, you know, pretty fast and correlate it with the parasitic protocol and adding those also in slowly.
She started July 9th was the first drop and her ATEC was a 79, I believe it was. And she’s still a work in progress. And it is currently, what is it, May 25th of 2013.
But she hasn’t had a full year because it was such a slow ramping up. She has not had that many parasite full protocol rounds yet. But she’s already at about a 40, I think the last measurement was a 46, I believe, ATEC, somewhere around there.
She is off of antifungal med. Again, she used to take it daily. She is off of antibiotics. Again, she used to take them daily and rotate them because they weren’t working.
She is off of antiviral. She is off of low-dose naltrexin, which is an immune modulator type technique …that is employed by the DAN [protocol]. She’s off of that.
She is… her seizures used to happen grand mal tonic-clonic, which is a very dangerous kind of seizure. They used to happen every two and a half to three weeks. Terribly dangerous.
She has had seizure-free days now. Her largest streak of seizure-free days was 105 days. Then she had a seizure, but we know what it was related to. It was related to a stop in an antiparasitic med that was too fast.
But now she is, again, ramping back up. She’s at seizure-free day 69 right now. And she’s going to continue to go. I feel pretty good about that.
We are lowering her seizure med. We have to go very slow. But the dream is that she will be off that seizure med next too. And then the dream after that is that someday maybe she will be off that immunoglobulin therapy, which would be awesome for her.
So she’s a very complicated case. And being 14 years old and highly compromised in many ways, highly infested. Well, whatever.
She takes a lot of time, but she’s getting there. And so we’re really excited and really hopeful now. We’ve never had this before in our life. Never thought we would ever see her feeling better and coming off of all these medications like this.
So that’s my story, and I’m sorry for crying so much.
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.
Transcript:
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.
New Awareness Through Photography
The following testimonial is excerpted from page 361 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.
A link to the full book in PDF format is provided at the bottom of this page.
I don’t know what to chalk it up to—we just finished our 3rd PP and did our 2nd shot of GcMAF on Saturday—but my 9 y/o son has started taking pictures with my iPhone.
They are not just random shots; he is finding objects or angles and taking pictures. They are FASCINATING!
He has also figured out how to use the reverse feature, and has taken a series of self-portraits, which he flips through and says to himself “Who’s that?”
