Drum roll please…….my son is 17 years old. He’s been on mms for 5 months now, I’m so excited I don’t even know, could it be 6? I think we started late July.
He started with a 63…….he is now a 7. He went from 63 to 25 in just a few weeks, then a 13 a couple months later, now a 7. I feel like I’m cheating every time. I go back and look, argue with myself, nitpick….but whether he’s a 5, 7 or 9, it’s nothing short of a miracle because just one year ago, he was WAY over 100. The ATEC is not perfect, not even close. There are things that the ATEC does not show. All that is true, but this is incredible improvement that no doctor I know would have ever been able to accomplish. Been there, did that, spent the 425K+.
And no, it’s not just MMS, but that has been the main treatment and everything else we do supports MMS and general health because I believe that in the end, it’s a battle between your immune system…and all that’s attacking it. We are winning and I sure do wish they would STOP CALLING IT AUTISM. That alone hurts so many.
Here’s a little background on my son: Matthew was very high functioning from age 6-12. That was after diet since 3, floortime play therapy, some aba, AIT, IVIG, chelation for a year, OIG, years of infusions of glutathione, vitamin C, B-com, etc…immune stuff. Then he did very well GFCF ages 6-12, ran track (very well), 2nd degree black belt, boxing lessons, etc….Then puberty hit, and what I did not know about, Lyme and co-infections RAGED, and for around 3 years, I lost him cognitively, worse, worse, worse. At 15, he was like an advanced Alzheimer’s patient, ADVANCED, he had lost ALL short-term memory, it was horrible, he struggled to think and could not.
He became more and more violent; choking me, kicking me, did I say he was a blackbelt? Even though he lost everything cognitively, like the ability to answer a question, those karate skills popped back into his head and he nearly killed me…. really close a couple times.
That was a year ago when his ATEC was over 100. So, here’s what worked: 1. Low amylose diet helped with the constant urinating. (he acted like a diabetic and had 14 of 16 PANDAS symptoms so auto-immune) 2. Biofeedback helped calm him some. 3. Cholestyramine helped him psychologically – I could see him clear up mentally in minutes. (chemical/mold/dust sensitivities big time) By this time, his doc had him on Ketamine for pain. 4. PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field device) stopped the pain in 6 weeks, got him off of Vicodin, which was not working anyway at double doses, and all the Ketamine. I hated drugging him. Got him off the psych drugs over 6 months time. Then he got a lot better but communication did not really come around until 5. MMS. BAM. Big improvements in communication and PERSONALITY. With MMS, even his laugh changed to a typical sounding teenager’s laugh, and for the first time in years, he can sit still and stop pacing, pacing pacing….the parasites were eating him alive….and now more recently, I know 6. Hydro-colonics is taking us to another level of clear communication. Now there’s lots of spontaneous language.
I write things on Facebook so that I can remember and maybe write a book one day. I don’t care how bad things get, believe me, your kids can get better and it’s amazing, they really do store up all this info that you didn’t think was there. It is there, and they will share it with you one day.
I hope one day Matthew can share his perspective with others. It’s just that it has taken a very long time for us to help him understand that the things he did back then were not in his control so I’m careful not to talk about it. For months he would out of the blue apologize and feel terrible, over and over. Then there’s memories of his dad losing it also….protecting me.
Thankfully, Matthew has blacked out or forgotten a lot of it. He did say he remembers being locked in his room. We had to turn the lock around and sometimes lock him in there. Bad memories. We were all traumatized. But not anymore. He is a different person today but he’s always been the sweetest boy I know. I knew that, even back then. One day, he’ll probably talk more about it.
