Hi Everyone!!!! My name is Stephanie my husband Gary and I have been married over 8 years happily married about half of that LoL (just jokeing! I love my husband and he loves me too).
I am the mother of a beautiful 7 year old boy whom has autism. He is the light of my life and has brought me more joy and tears than anyone or anything else I have ever known! Yeah, I know it sounds like every mother of a child with autism huh! LOL That is because our kids are the most special children in the world.
My boy is becoming more verbal all the time though he can not hold a conversation with me yet, that day is coming! I look forward to him being able to communicate with everyone around him and making lifelong friends. I love to watch him reach beyond what he was able to do last year and approach other children to play.
Like many or maybe even all of you my child is my hero. The struggles that he endures on a daily basis I can't even comprehend. The best thing is he does it all with that goregous smile on his sweet little face. I hurt when he hurts, I laugh when he laughs and I cry when he cries.(NOT IN FRONT OF HIM) However as a mother I know it is my job to be strong for him and I will as long as I live. (Even though we all have weak moments!) Because we are human!
God Bless YOU and YOUR CHILDREN THE MOST! I WILL KEEP ALL OF YOU IN MY PRAYERS!

My little boy is 8 years old he has some speech but no where near where he should be. I want to know if there are any parents on here with kids that have greatly recovered from autism? I have heard there are lots of vitamin therapies that we can use in large doses that can help? What about what anti fungal remedies what do I use? I have tried the gluten casein free thing Casein free helped alot . Can someone you guys give me other diet changes that could help or has the time come and gone in recovery hope? Help me please if you can. I am willing to try just about anything please. I will never give up hope to help my child even if the we have passed the time line. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated........... Even different foods that the kids like on these special diets. Every little tad of information you can give me please. Also if there is anything I can do to help his sensory needs I will tell you what we are doing right now.
Cod liver oil
omega 3,6,9 with DHA
mood balance with DMG
Vitamin B Total Sublingual

Hi, check out the healling the gut naturally group...I have tried to post what I hae used with Julian...Julian has been treated strictly with natrual products. If you go to my page you will see some books that are really great to read if your want to stay away from Rx. drugs...we are a drug free family, from meds to cleaning products...we use the methyl B12 sublingual tablets...I do consult with a few DAN Dr's and even they are amazed as to how Julian's test results have changed...we have also been yeast free for about 4 years now...we sleep all night, and he is learning so much...we are still struggling with his speech, but that will come along soon enough...he is 13, but GOD isn't ready for Julian to speak just yet...so we are happy with the little words he is saying...you can call me if you like, or I can call you back...559-662-0651...leave a message, I do not pick up unknown calls...Blessing sent your way.

CHANGING THE COURSE OF AUTISM A Scientific Approach for Parents and Physicians by Bryan Jepson, M.D. is the first book I would read. The second is The Puzzle of Autism: Putting It All Together, 4th Edition A Guide to Transforming the Treatment of Autism--For Parents and Physicians By: Amy Yasko, PhD, ND, NHD, AMD, HHP, FAAIM. http://www.ch3nutrigenomics.com/phpBB2/welcome.html also has a ton of information on biomedical interventions. Most of your questions will have been asked and answered.

Well, you're doing a lot biomedically, and I can't really be more help there, except that if you can get vitamin E into him, it may help some. For sensory stimulation, swinging, sand or water play, walking barefoot on different surfaces, play-dough, smelling different herbs, rolling on the floor, deep pressure, carrying heavy objects... I could go on and on. Pretty much, when you find an activity he likes, let him go at it. If he can't tolerate an activity, write that down, and present a list to his OT once school starts. That'll help him or her in preparing a program for your son.

The anti fungals and anti virals are listed in the DAN/Biomedical Intervention group under the heading Web Conf part 2. Hope it helps.

You should attend the web conf. tonight http://www.greatplainslaboratory.com I have gotten some wonderful info from these conf. You have to pre-register and you need to have high speed internet. Also on the biomedical group I have posted my notes from past web conf. that lists some anti-virals. Honestly for us the B12w/folinic acid injections have helped the most, especially speech. The oral just doesn't absorb well and the folinic acid helps. Folinic acid is not the same as folic acid. A must read book is Healing the New Childhood Epidemics by Kenneth Bock, M.D. It covers everything from nutritional therapy, supplementation, detoxification and medication. I use it as my biomed bible. Let me know if you can't find my notes on antivirals in the biomed group, it should be under one of the headings web conf.
