ATEC Drops from 80 to 5

Maggie

Transcript:

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 Regression to Rapid Progress in Autism

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.


Significant Developmental Improvements in Autism Case

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!!!!!!!!!


Autism Improvements with ATEC Score Reduction in Six Months

My son Nick started MMS just after his 7th birthday. Within 6 months he had cut his ATEC score in half from 66 to 37. Nick showed speech gains from the very first drop of MMS after having made no changes in speech for two years. Really, Nick hadn’t made any improvements at all for two years. He was in a total stall until we began MMS.

We raised Nick’s oral dose of MMS very slowly taking two months to get to his target dose and never experienced die off that was unreasonable.

Three significant changes are obvious in Nick’s health at this point; he has been off of his Mitochondrial cocktail (for several years he has had blood labs pointing towards Mito dysfunction) for over 8 months and we haven’t seen any of the lethargy that used to concern us so much, he was able to wean off of his seizure medication for his absence seizures and we haven’t seen any return of seizure activity, and his thyroid appears to be beginning to shift from his long standing diagnosis of hypothyroid.

The nicest changes we see are in the vibrancy of his health and how happy he is! His eyes sparkle and he has lots of energy for the day. He is no longer sitting on the couch staring out the window waiting for someone to figure out how to help him feel better.

Since beginning MMS, every day Nick shows us just a little bit more of the boy that he is underneath the veil of autism and sickness. He tells us what his favorite things are, what he wants to do, and his sense of humor is coming shining through. MMS has given me a ton of hope that we just might get our boy back!


Autism Progress After Years of Stalled Development

After 7 years of biomedical treatments, numerous therapies, and more doctors than I care to think about, our son, who was diagnosed with autism, could speak a full sentence, was potty trained, and could finally go to the mall and movie theater without screaming and putting his hands over his ears.

Victory??…yes…however, we knew we had so much farther to go. You see, as your child gets older, you realize that he is missing the key things in life that are crucial for independence. Our son had become “stuck” if you will, he was not socially maturing, and still lacked empathy, mature connections with peers, and proper communication with teachers and the other adults in his life. He would still yell when he didn’t win a game, and he did not always react in an age appropriate manner, if something did not go his way.

My research went on as always…searching, searching, searching…we were not getting anywhere with his current doctor, and I knew that we had to change our current plan for treatment.

A good friend of mine called me to tell me about a new product that some of our warrior mom friends were trying. The letters MMS were spoken to me for the first time in March of 2012. My son was 11 years old and I was desperate for help. The first thing I asked was, “How much does it cost?” $25.00…what?? It can’t be! We have spent our life savings, and now I am looking at something that cost less than a night out for dinner?? I decided to check it out!

I emailed Kerri Rivera and told her that I wanted to start the MMS autism protocol, and I’ll never forget her quick response…”YIPEE”, she said, let me know if you have any questions, I am here for you.

I read, studied, and called my friend about twenty times over the next couple of days, and then we began the next chapter in our journey.

About three weeks into the protocol, our son seemed calmer, as well as aware of others on a more mature level…we were excited! Once he was at full dose, we began, baths and enemas, and he continued to improve. Our next move was to try the 72/2 protocol, which is giving MMS every two hours around the clock for 72 hours.

Well, it was as if someone had kicked our sons maturity clock into high gear. We saw HUGE gains!

“Hey mom, I like your dress…you look really nice today”….WHAT??

“I’ll try that new kind of chicken for lunch”…WHAT??

“I feel like I’m beginning a new life”…WHAT??

“It’s OK that I didn’t win the race, I had fun”…WHAT??

I wanted to call the Good Morning America Show and say, LOOK AT WHAT MY SON IS DOING!

He also began to grow and put on weight for the first time in three years! He put on 10 pounds and 2 shoe sizes in about 2 months!

The gains continue to come, and our boy is coming alive…recovering…finally it’s here! My eyes well up with tears as I write these words…the words I have dreamt about for eight long years.

He celebrated his 12th birthday on January 3rd, and has told us that 2013 is going to be the best year of his life…YES…it is!

He is our angel, our fighter, our miracle. Thanks be to God for MMS! We are blessed and forever grateful~


Autism Progress Following Diet Changes and CD Protocol

Pat Philpot
July 8, 2014

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.


From Tantrums to Calm Cooperation

January 1, 2014

The following testimonial is excerpted from pages 375-376 of Healing the Symptoms Known as Autism, 2nd Edition by Kerri Rivera, published in 2014.

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!

Hi, had to share this moment today. Just wish daddy wouldn’t have missed it!

Well, we were seeing daddy off for work this evening, when Vail decided that he wanted to go run around in the grass. I told him we needed to put on socks and shoes and then we could play outside.

He walked straight to the door. We walked in, I pointed at his socks and shoes, and FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER (always knew he could, just too stubborn to do it unless he really wants to!), he promptly walked over, picked up his socks and shoes, and turned and handed them to me!!! (all the while doing it with an attitude!!! lol)

This is just from mom to therapists.

CD and Kerri have been life changing for our entire family. We now can give Vail choices, usually of two items. For example, I showed him two pairs of pants and asked which he wanted to wear, and he grabbed one pair and started to put them on even though he was still in his pajamas.

I showed him two shirts, and he picked a shirt. Same thing with his shoes and socks. He is able to choose now on his own.

I look forward every day to him doing something differently or completely new, and he almost always does now. This was not possible before CD.

THANK YOU KERRI!!! WE LOVE YOU FOR SHARING AND FIGHTING THE FIGHT!!!

LOVE,

—The parents of Vail
