How This Works

It is good to see such positive things occuring with your video. The most we can do for our children with autism is be there biggest advocate. You are doing a wonderful job at doing that.

Thank you for sharing this video with everyone.. Like many of the other comments say, you have such a beautiful girl. Keep your head up and fight for her. And just remember God only gives what he thinks we can handle. It may not always seem easy to understand but one day we will. Take Care of yourselves too! She needs your strength.

Annabelle 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 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. This was affecting his absorbtion of minerals and vitamins and affecting 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

Bryan and Suzanne, You daughter is beautiful, and this video is absolutely amazing. I work with children with autism daily. They are fascinating and wonderful, true gifts from God. I'm sure Annabelle is the same. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Despite your fears and concerns, though, I know you realize what a blessing she is for you. I hope to meet her some day.

I just wanted to say that this is one of the more powerful videos I have watched. The focus on the facts, the stating obvious examples of Annabelle losing her spoken language - provides a very powerful insight. She is a beautiful little girl...thank you for sharing her world.

I loved this video...the song and images are so powerful. I'm moved to tears and share your sentiments. I'm the mother of Claudia and creator of "Change Her World" from this site and wish you the same success in terms of spreading the word and raising awareness. It is quite comforting to read the posts from people and know that you are not alone. I hope you find that support and comfort as well and take great pride in creating something that is so moving and raises awareness for our kids. Thank you for sharing Annabelle with the world...she is beautiful and obviously has a loving family to guide her on this journey. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

God has not promised, Skies always Blue; Flower strewn pathways, All our lives through; God has not promised, Sun without Rain; Joy without Sorrow, Peace without Pain. But God has promised, Strenghth for the day; Rest for the weary, Light for the way; Grace fro the trial, Help from above; Unfailing kindness, Undying Love. Our prayers are with you, God Bless.
