My name is Maggie.

My son Gunnar was diagnosed with autism last January. He was four years old. He was born in 2008. Normal pregnancy.

He was born when he had the shakes. And his eyes were darting everywhere. And they were a little bit concerned by the medical staff. They did some testing. And of course they gave him the Hep B vaccine without my consent. Or my husband’s consent, without even telling us.

We brought him home when he was three days old. We got a phone call from the hospital saying he had hypothyroidism. Congenital hypothyroidism. And we needed to start him immediately on Synthroid, on synthetic thyroid medication.

So he was breastfed. But we did have to crush a pill into some formula to give him once a day.

So he was developing normally. We were happy. We wanted him. We willed him to be a boy. He was our beautiful boy.

He was… I’m going to cry… three years old. And I noticed that he wasn’t asking a lot of questions. He wasn’t asking why. He didn’t seem very interested in the world around him. He started to stare off out the window. Hard to get his attention.

I went to his endocrinologist. My husband and I voiced our concerns. And they blew us off. They said, oh, the medication fluctuation, dosage fluctuations cause side effects of fatigue.

Time went on and other caregivers, in-laws, parents, noticed that he was looking out of the corner of his eye a lot. Very picky about foods. Started having some sensory issues.

I took him to the endocrinologist again. And I said, I want an evaluation. And she said, oh, he’s fine. You know, boys are hard to potty train. I said, but he was potty training. And now he’s wetting himself and doesn’t even notice that he soiled himself. This something is not right.

And she had got a page and left the room. And there was a resident in there. And I said, I want an evaluation. So she pulled up a milestones chart and said, is he doing this? I said, he was. He’s not anymore. Is he doing this? No, he never did that. Is he doing this? No, he never did that.

And she went down the list and then she said, Gunnar, can you stand on one foot? And he didn’t even turn. She said, Gunnar, Gunnar, Gunnar. And he didn’t even notice. And she said, I agree with you. He needs an evaluation.

So, it took six months to get the evaluation. They’re so, so very far backed up. It was, and that apparently after talking to other parents, that was pretty quick in comparison. But I kept calling and pushing and pushing to get the evaluation.

So, finally had it in January. He was four years old. And then they didn’t give us a diagnosis that day. They said that they would send it to us in the mail when they concurred with each other.

So, they told us he had autism. So, they wanted us to come back in February for some more in-depth testing.

So, that testing, we had changed diet. We had switched to gluten, dairy, soy-free diet almost immediately after his diagnosis. And we almost immediately saw good things. And his digestive issues were getting better.

And he was waking up in the middle of the night screaming in the fetal position and couldn’t tell us what was wrong. If I touched him, he’d scream, ow! Music was on quietly and he’d cover his ears and turn it down. And he just was uncomfortable in his own skin. He didn’t want to be held. He didn’t want to be rocked. He didn’t want to be sang to. He wasn’t interested in books.

His speech was, want juice, want juice. He wasn’t speaking in sentences.

So, we had him tested and his speech and language was at a 23-month-old level. He was four years old. His gross and fine motor skills are around 26-27 months.

And so, I just went into hyper-research mode. I read everything I could get my hands on. I was up all night, all my free time. I was consumed with, I’m bound to determine to heal my child.

You know, I went into the whole acceptance thing at first because I felt like I was maybe doing a disservice to him. I wanted to change anything about him. I just wanted to get him healthy.

So, I stumbled upon the CD (MMS) protocol and I started watching and started taking notes. And this makes sense to me.

Had some food allergy panels ran, did a comprehensive stool analysis. Actually, both my kids, my neurotypical daughter and my son, and they both tested highly intolerant to gluten, dairy, and soy, among some other things. They both have leaky gut. My son has bacterial dysbiosis, which is leaky gut caused by bacterial overgrowth. And my daughter’s was yeast. She had overgrowth of Candida.

So, the whole family went on the diet. I have hypothyroidism. I had a giant goiter. Within ten days, my goiter was gone.

I decided that this was going to work for us. I just knew it. I just knew in my gut that this was right. I ordered the book. The book came in. And my son was obsessed with the book. My son, who never was interested in books. And our living room is full of books. And his bedroom is full of books. And sister’s bedroom is full of books. And he never wanted to sit down and read a book.

And this came in the mail. And he was obsessed. This book is it. This book is it. Which was the longest sentence he had really said at that point. And my husband and I looked at each other and our eyes filled with tears. And we were like, yeah buddy, this is it. And we just knew.

We just knew in our gut that this was the answer for us. And so, I started with my son.

I did the protocol complete for four months for myself. I saw a lot of improvements in my own health concerns. I had adrenal fatigue and all sorts of things going on. I feel great now.

My son had immediate improvements. He started sleeping through the night. Seven weeks in, he no longer needed his thyroid medication he had been on since he was three days old. Still doesn’t need it to this day.

Started sleeping through the night. Digesting food normally. Eating normally. The sensory issues disappeared. You know, he is affectionate. He is happy. He is healthy.

Sorry. It is just incredible. It is incredible.

Everybody notices how great he is doing. He is just reading books. He is going to mainstream preschool. He is getting ready to go to kindergarten next year.

His ATEC when we started June 23rd last year was an 80 and it is currently at a 5. And there are things that I believe the ATEC doesn’t show. Improvements such as he is asking why questions. He wants an explanation. He wants to play games. He initiates conversation. He jokes.

He is sneaky like a five-year-old should be when he wants something and he bargains. And if I ask him a question, if he doesn’t know it, he says, I don’t know. And then he gives his best explanation. He is healthy. I mean, he is doing incredibly, incredibly well.

I have talked to so many parents that have tried every intervention under the sun and spent beaucoup dollars. And they are not seeing a tenth of the improvement that we have seen in our son. And he is just a little walking miracle and nobody can limit his potential.

He has got a full childhood now. He has got a full life ahead of him. And I am really excited to see what he does with his life. He is really intelligent. He has got a photographic memory. He can memorize things very quickly.

The scripting has slowed. A lot of his speech for a while seemed a little robotic. And now we are getting more and more natural speech. And it is just incredible.

I love helping other parents. This community of parents is just amazing. They are a family. Everybody cheers each other on. Everybody wants each other’s child to improve. Nobody is selling anything. Nobody is trying to make money. Everybody is just trying to heal their children. And we are doing it. And we are all doing it.

It is just absolutely incredible. It is incredible to be a part of. And I am just honored. Very honored to be a part of it.

From the ATEC at www.autism.com

Total Score: 5

I. Speech/Language/Communication: 1

II. Sociability: 1

III. Sensory/Cognitive Awareness: 2

IV. Health/Physical/Behavior: 1

Started at 56 score in March.

I’m still having problems in environmental awareness, because in his mind sometimes he is Super-Hero (he wants to help all the people in disasters, his own words). Sometimes he is eating portions like me, not such big portions but he is burning calories in the swimming classes. His meals are so healthy.

So, my homeopathic doctor told me (and recommends me) to wait until January next year to start the PP. He wants to see the effects of MMS, Probiotics and some homeopathy that he will provide at the end of this month.

We continue using as I said MMS, Theralac, GFCFSF diet, NAET and A.B.A therapy. I am so happy to share it with you.

Hugs my dear God Mother

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!
