When you have a user ID like We_Beat_Autism, you are bound to get a lot of questions... So I thought I would take a few minutes to enlighten everyone on how we did it...

A few years ago my son was diagnosed as severely autistic. He was very low functioning with many different impairments. He had a low IQ and at the age of 3, he was functioning at an 12-18 month-old level. He was throwing dangerous temper tantrums, where he would actually injure himself, and he could not handle any kind of human contact, even from his own father. He had been through all of the necessary therapy programs (occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, etc.) and been tried in all of the latest hospital trials with no improvement. After years of frustration and not knowing how else we could help our son, we tried a fairly unconventional treatment as a last ditch effort and to our surprise it worked beautifully. Now one year later, our son is in a normal first grade class room with very minimal support services.

Here is a quick breakdown on how/what we did...

1. We took our son to see a chiropractor that specialized in whole food supplements. Now before you shun the idea, please keep an open mind. I have worked for hospitals and doctors for over 16 years, so I was a little reluctant myself, but was very shocked to learn what I did.

2. This chiropractor did a hair analysis on our son, which tested for all toxic and non-toxic heavy metals in his system. These metals are things like, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, as well as other minerals such as calcium, magnesium, etc.. This helped the doctor get a feel for where his toxocity load was. In our son's case, he had a 99% heavy metal toxicity rate with depleted levels of the good things, like calcium, iron, magnesium. I will explain a little bit more about these heavy metals and how our children accumulate them below.

3. The next step was to put him through a heavy metal detoxification (chelation) treatment. This was done with only whole food supplements and suppositories which actually acted like a binding agent and pulled all of the heavy metals out of his brain and passed it through his digestive tract. This was a 6 week long treatment that we administered every other night. Within one week, we noticed a remarkable change in our son's behavior, and learning abilities. He was starting to talk, smile, play and do all of the things that he had never done before. By the end of the 6 weeks, I had a completely different child on my hands. His teachers and therapists were absolutely in shock as were my husband and I. He was making progress in leaps and bounds, to the point that he actually placed out of his physical therapy because he had advanced so far. All within just 6 weeks!

4. Finally, we keep our son on a regular supplement diet. All whole food supplements to help keep his brain nourished. It helps make the nerve connections in the brain that he was lacking before because of the heavy metal load.

Now for a brief explanation on how our children pick up these "heavy metals". Ethyl Mercury, better known as Thimerosol, is used in childhood vaccines as a preservative, especially in multidose vials, such as DTAp, MMR, etc.. This mercury can sit in the brain of certain children and cause damage that presents itself as autism. The reason boys have a higher rate of autism than girls is because the testosterone in a boys system fuels the mercury and actually accelerates it properties. Girls also have testosterone in their systems which helps to explain their increased autism rates. Things such as arsenic can be found in everyday items such as outdoor play equipment, second hand smoke, and some cleaners. This is considered an environmental metal, which are much harder to avoid.

We actually pin pointed exactly what set of vaccines did damage to our sons brain. There are websites that you can log into that show you how much Thimerosol (mercury) was used in certain lots of vaccines to determine how much more than the "safe limit" the CDC recommends our children. For example, the CDC recommends that a child can only receive 1 parts per million of mercury in order for it to be considered a safe dose. In one trip to the doctors office and one set of vaccines at 9 months old, my son received 820x that amount. It completely overloaded his brain and shut down his neurological system.

I am not saying that you should not get your children vaccinated, but PLEASE do your research. Make sure that the vaccines your children are receiving are Thimerosol free and if your doctor cannot offer that information to you, find a new doctor that can. Most vaccines now are Thimerosol free, with the exception of flu shots and a few others. Just make sure you are informed about what they are injecting your child with. Do not assume that just because your doctor says that it is safe that it is. They are given information from the FDA and CDC, which are all sponsored by lobbyist for Big Pharmaceutical companies, so it is in the FDA and CDC's best interest to promote their drugs. Search Google for information about Thimerosol and mercury in vaccines and you will find countless numbers of reports with mothers and fathers that have had their children "taken away" because of a vaccine that they were told were safe.

I hope you found this short article informative and I hope it inspires you to do your research before vaccinating your children. I am not saying not to vaccinate, just make sure you are FULLY informed before you make your decision.
