Informative Week!

Two very interesting moments happen this last week. A family friend mentioned to me that her neighbor had a son who recovered from autism. She gave me the mother's number and I called her. This women had a wealth of knowledge and I felt like I was talking to Jenny McCarthy herself. We talked for an hour and a half and I could have kept going. I learned so many wise things from this wonderful lady and the best part of the conversation was when we figured out our sons both have the same DAN! doctor! I should mention again that her son is now top of his class and those that know him would never guess where he was at a few years ago. How encouraging is that? Just proof to me again that God is paving the road for us in Aidan's recovery. She mentioned to me that her son was given a prescription for nystatin that removes the yeast from the intestines. After he was given this, he showed major improvements. Dr. Centers just prescribed this for Aidan! I am looking forward to seeing even more improvement in Aidan once we remove the yeast overload from his body.

The other interesting moment this week was when I took Liam to his 9 month doctor appointment. This must be a new protocol that they do for 9 month olds.......an iron test. Basically they prick their big toe, get some blood on a strip, stick it in a machine that they have right there in the office, then pop back in a minute later and tell you your child's hemoglobin score. It literally took under 3 minutes to do this. I thought to myself......."how easily they could do this same test on a newborn to test their glutathione levels". Glutathione is a natural antioxidant that the body produces. Children with autism tend to have a lower amount of this antioxidant in their bodies. If we test for this and the child's levels are low, then we would think twice about injecting them with so many vaccinations. The child's immune system may not be able to handle it. How easily we could test for this. Just as easily as the hemoglobin test. If this kind of test could help us avoid all these kids with ASD, then why not? Something tells me it has to do with money. Its all about money, and as of right now the pharmaceutical companies are making a hell of a lot of money off vaccines! God forbid we try to take any away!
