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.
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!

Kerri, good day
I want to tell you about the progress of my child, the treatment began in July and the progress that we have seen is:
– He has gone from not wanting to eat ANYTHING, TO EATING BY HIMSELF, SITTING DOWN he grabs his spoon and he cleans his mouth every time he gets dirty
* He has stopped wearing a diaper, and goes to the bathroom by himself, almost like any other typical child.
* He lets people other than my wife and I hug him.
* He now gives hugs and has started imitating a few other things.
* He can now obey simple instructions that he couldn’t before…..no, pick it up, get down, get up, give me your hand, etc.
* At the institute where he receives therapy they have told us that they are seeing great improvement in his eye contact, as he now focuses his vision more clearly on an object.
* He still will not play with other children, but at least he is where they are.
Thank you for everything and we are together in this fight day after day, winning small battles everyday to win the war.
God bless

My son Fernando Latin is 8 years old and was diagnosed at age 3 and half. When I started this struggle with autism all the relevant studies were performed. We visited a neurologist, psychologist and a gastroenterologist, he began taking the supplements according to DAN! protocol, but the list of pills he was taking was increasing and my boy was restless.
Then I went to a homeopath, the treatment worked a little but it was so expensive I couldn’t continue, it is needless to say how much money and time I spent on appointments and tests, plus the hyperactivity problem was growing each day.
Until God put in my path an extraordinary friend MARIA CAMPERO and she talked to me about a foundation in Port Ordaz “VENCIENDO EL AUTISMO” FOUNDATION (Carolina, Yamileth and all that beautiful team) they brought Kerri Rivera to lecture here in Venezuela, on 04/02/2011. I will never forget these words AUTISM IS PREVENTABLE, TREATABLE, AND CURABLE. A new hope that a mother’s heart never looses…
In that conference she also talked about MMS and its benefits I was lucky Kerri evaluated my child, I started giving him MMS plus some supplements and have won this since:
- Better pronunciation, for example he used to say Dowg and now he says Dog.
- He obeys orders.
- Spends more time sitting.
- Evacuates normally with no bad smell.
- He stopped biting his clothes.
- He stopped making noises like: wiiiii yiiiii.
- He stopped playing with his hands.
- We go somewhere and he is relaxed.
- If we take a picture, he looks at the camera.
- He is more aware of his environment.
- He is improving a lot and really fast with his ABA therapy
These are all the benefits I’ve seen with my son after starting with the MMS, I know there is a lot to do but know a have real hope. Some advice for parents that are starting this road: please accept what is happening, inform yourselves.
I always think that to get your children through this you need the four-legged table:
- Diet
- MMS, Supplement treatment
- Therapy
- Help at home
I’ve always asked God to give me enough wisdom to help my child and to put me in a direction were I could find people that can help me, and believe me he has listened: Venciendo al Autismo Foundation, Kerri Rivera, my sons therapist Milagros Alcanta, Danny her teacher-shadow, Maria Campo, a woman not only committed to her son but to all of those who she can help and guide me, including Marilyn Aparcedo and her team.
All of them are my bases to keep going and as Kerri and Carolina say: This is an endurance test and there is no giving up!
I have nothing but thanks these wonderful and professional people, Thank you!

You know Kerri, I had to email you directly 😊 I waited until today to retake my son’s ATEC… just did his first Parasite Protocol and did the 72/2 hr this weekend, so waited a few days to pass by before we did… so this ATEC was based SOLELY on this past Monday, Tuesday & today.
I got an 11, hubby got a 13, so average: 12. (He was 32 before MMS, then 27 after 3 weeks of MMS… now 12)
I had to email you to thank you b/c well… because. What is there really to say 😊 can’t think of the right words really 😊 thank you?? not really enough if u know what I mean 😊
But to think I was going to skip your presentation at A1 b/c I thought it’s too good to be true. But you caught my attention when you started tearing up as you got up on stage 😊 you were the only person/speaker to show emotion like that. AND have NOTHING TO SELL ON YOUR TABLE 😊 you were there only for our children… getting nothing back in return! 😊
I know I’ve been emotional, but I’m prego and my son’s getting better so cut me some slack 😊
I’m SO grateful for all you do Kerri. If there is something I can do in return, please let me know. I know you have a lot on your plate. You have a heart of gold; such a giving, compassionate person… a “rare-ity” (this word is in my dictionary!!)
You & Patrick are always in our prayers 😊 I seriously want to go visit you in Mexico w/my family so my son can meet you when he’s recovered 😊 I told my hubby & he’s up for it hehe 😊
Anyways, long email but really just wanted to let you know how well he’s doing and to ‘thank you’ 😊 it blew my mind after I got the results.
He still has issues in socialization and getting his vocab/speech up to his 4-year-old level. I think much of that will change as he learns English better; he’ll interact better with his peers.
Thank you Kerri from the bottom of me & my husband’s heart 😊 you are loved & covered in prayer 😊

Three more tiny little gains on our step by step path to recovery….
Yesterday Nick got a haircut and did not cry at all AND was relaxed enough that it was the first time it wasn’t like a sheep shearing, he actually got to get a little style (so cute!).
Also, he was doing some pretty terrible screaming in the car in the parking lot at Whole Foods while I tried to find a parking space (I wanted to scream too) and I let him know he scared me.
When we got into the store he spontaneously said “I’m sorry” – total first!
Lastly, he has requested a hug from me three times recently – HUGE new thing and I love it.
Thank you MMS and Kerri.

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.
