| Introducing Siddu |  |
Our little boy, Siddu, was a year old in the year 2000. I looked at him and said one day, "He is so cute! Such beautiful eyes, he is ahead in every milestone. Are we blessed with the best kid in the world, or do all parents think that way?". When he was two, one day I saw him learning the alphabet in one day, drawing a man on a bicycle, and picking up information like a sponge, and I said, "How will I ever be able to teach this kid if he learns so fast?"
Fast forward to a five year old, we had just finished his booster vaccinations (not that vaccinations have anything to do with what i am about to say!!) and we watched him struggling to make eye contact, he could not pedal his tricycle, he could not catch a ball, he would flap his hands, tantrum, smear feaces all over the house, and all learning came to a standstill. He was diagnosed autistic. The cutest kid in the world!
Today, he is seven and making progress.
Here are his treatments, past and present. I will list these for information only. This is not medical advice, just a laundry list from an opinionated parent!
Behavioral:
30 hours of ABA, and constant effort by caregivers to engage and play with him.
1:1 special autism class in school.
Sensory:
Auditory integration 2 sessions
CranioSacral therapy once every two weeks.
Diagnostic procedures: EEG and spect scan to measure seizure activity. Urinary porphyrin test and Doctors Data toxic metals tests to measure lead and mercury.
IV treatments: (Might repeat as desired)
Secretin, Glutathione and Vitamin C, Detox chelators: DMPS and CaEDTA.
Diet:
gluten/casein/soy/corn free, no sugars (very low carbohydrate), some starches and some aspects of Specific Carbohydrate Diet and Lo-oxalate Diet. Everything prepared from scratch (no preservatives, coloring matter etc).
Daily treatments:
Hyperbaric oxygen, twice a day.
Supplements: enzymes with all meals, VSL#3 pro-biotic, and natural antifungals (GSE etc) to combat gut dysbiosis.
Minerals: Child Essence, Zinc, CalMag
Siezure control: Mag Glycinate, GABA, pycnogenol, grape seed extract
Essential Fatty acids: Fish oil, krill oil, cod liver oil
Liver support: Liver Life
Detox support: NCD (zeolites), charcoal, epsom salt
Hormones: Secretin and Oxytocin inhalers
Chelation (periodic schedule): currently caEDTA suppositories
Methylation support: Methyl B-12 injections twice a week.
With all this, Siddu is now potty trained, can write legibly, respond to concrete questions and is trying to read. He can go to a birthday party, eat diet cake from his own lunch box, and deal with his issues without anyone noticing anything different about him. Well, until you try to approach him!
I do not beleive that his improvements are due to ABA alone. He reached a saturation very early with ABA. The biomedical treatments help him learn what ABA and other methods teach. (More on ABA later!)
He still has a long way to go to recover from allergic gastro-enteritis, unspecified disorder of immune mechanism, toxic effect of mercury compounds, siezure activity...
...AKA hyper-vaccinosis.
One day Siddu will tell us about how yucky his supplements taste, how his IVs hurt, and how he always knew that I give him injections while he is asleep. He will say that he just chooses not to protest because he is the best kid in the world. He is telling us, that we have gone too far in using neurotoxins and immunotoxins, our environment is toxic, and our canaries have stopped singing.
