How This Works

Hey there. I cried watching your video. I miss you guys so much and I hope that Teddy still can be a little boy and have all the fun in the world. I wish you and the family all the luck in the world to help Teddy have the most normal life he can have. Take care of yourself. God Bless. -Rita

Your son is absolutely adorable. My son Zack is recovering from autism with the gluten and casein free diet and supplements. He had regressive autism that started after a flu shot. Then he got sick and was on antibiotics. He then disappeared into his own world. The GFCF diet gave us a little eye contact back so we knew we were onto something. We had his stool and urine tested (www.greatplainslaboratory.com) and was found to have yeast overgrowth (from antibiotics) Symptoms Zack had were that he wouldn't answer to his name and would go into "fogs" toe-walking and spinning, holding his ears, irrational tantrums, and he stopped talking. Zack was also found to have lead poisoning (possibly from recalled toys from China) and mercury poisoning possibly from flu shots or the other vaccines that contained mercury at the time. His GI system was a mess and we didn't even know it. He hated eating, but we didn't know why. His damaged GI system (from yeast, bacteria, heavy metals) was affecting his absorbtion of minerals and vitamins, which greatly affected his brain. The symptoms of mercury poisoning and autism are identical. http://www.nationalautismassociation.org/thimerosal.php Scroll down to the chart. Many, many, many parents are seeing results with biomedical treatment. It is more than just the diet, though. Some also have aluminum poisoning because that has replaced mercury in the shots. Go to http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/GFCFKids/messages The yahoo group GFCFkids helped me TREMENDOUSLY!!! I can't even tell you how much those 12,000 people helped me. They are helping other parents do the GFCF diet correctly and treat yeast, bacteria, heavy metals, etc. Once I treated his yeast, he stopped going into "fogs" and was talking more and more. Read the book HEALING THE NEW CHILDHOOD EPIDEMICS AUTISM, ASTHMA, ALLERGIES, ADHD by Dr. Bock. It is so helpful. Please look into it. It is helping SOOOOO many kids and has changed our lives completely. It is my passion to spread the word about this! There is a special place in my heart for these amazing children. I just want to help. email me bmansini@yahoo.com or check out this message board where parents are helping other parents recover their children - http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/GFCFKids/messages

To be honest, I don't think I've met another kid so full of personality. He's amazing.

I have been a teacher's assistant for pre-K aged children with Autism for 7 years. They light up my day, and I can't think of anything in the world I would rather do than go to school and be with " my little guys". My hugs and prayers go out to all of the autistic children, and thier families. MUUAAH!
