Week 2

This week we began the Nemecheck protocol. Dr. Nemecheck's protocol is a prebiotic fiber called Inulin and omega 3 fish oils. Along with this protocol Nathan is still taking his camel milk. We were out for a few days but Camilk Dairy made sure we got some in ASAP! Still battling the yeast beast but with episom salt and Apple cidar vinegar baths and small amounts of cbd oil when needed we have been able to get his anger and frustration under control. We are constantly hearing him speak more. Saying random sentences and phrases. It's all echolia still but he's doing it a lot more. He's also mocking us a lot more too. Still recovering from that yucky cough from last week so he's getting honey and cinnamon for that. He's still getting constipated and hoping this fiber will help but I hear it does cause constipation in some. I ordered something else for him I can't recall exactly the name or brand as I'm writing this but will be sure it's in the next update. I have vitamin C, vitamin D3/K2 and some liquid turmeric (for inflammation) on the way. I will be introducing those one at a time a few days apart.

Over all we see improvements in speech. Management of his frustration is really a big help. He's resting better at night. Eye contact is great and he's been extra social. Like climbing into a lady at the park lap and trying to take her cookies. He was very sweet and she loved it. I look forward to seeing where we are next week. ❤

Week 1

So week 1 went pretty well. We saw great improvement using the camel milk. Until the yeast die off began. Which I was prepared for just not completely. I wasn't able to get the bath detox things I needed for him to accommodate and help with the die off. So Nathan got hit pretty hard. He got flu like symptoms and fever for a few days. All normal die off symptoms. I felt so bad for him. He's never ever sick so it's not something we are used to. Thank The good Lord for that. As of today we are out of camel milk and deciding if we want more. Or to try something else and then come back to the camel milk once a few other base supplements and vitamins are added.
The homeopath I plan to work with has a wait list so hoping to get with her this summer sometime. Until the we will continue to add and try new things. Please don't think I'm just winging this. I've done months of research and learning what Nathan needs and is deficient of. As are many children who present the same symptoms as him.
I'm gonna end this with our trip to a big public Easter egg hunt. We had hopes he would be ok. Die off symptoms had gone, at least the fever and cough. His attitude And strong will were 10x today. I'm bruised and scratched up. But we tried. We tried to enjoy it. Try to take him and do normal things. He ended up back in the van with his phone. I'll survive I always do. His dad Sat with him so I could be with the other kids. Nathan doesn't understand waiting in line, taking turns, it's not something I can teach him in his current state. It's not something you can beat into him or yell into him. He simply can not comprehend why he can't just go and do as he wants. He has no words to tell me his frustration. Hints the scratching, pinching and biting. We will always continue to try. Even if it is heart breaking and usually ends like this. But I have hope he will recover and be able to enjoy events like this one day. I hope you All have a happy Easter. #RiseUp #BeBrave #PrayBig

Day 1

Today's the day. Today we began treating Nathan's autistic symptoms with all natural healthy supplements. After joining the recovering kids biomedical page, I literally felt the light shine back in to hope for Nathan having a future. After a month of looking at what has worked for others in the group as y'all read in my first post we have made some changes to his diet. Next step is adding supplements. This one was tough for me because I want his hair and genetics testing done before taking anything. But after reading testimony after testimony we decided to try one before testing. Since this is basically all around healthy anyway. So last week we ordered a quart of raw camels milk. Now don't freak out. Seriously if you drink cows milk or eat goat cheese don't judge. People are seeing complete healing of autistic symptoms. Complete speech recovery. So that's what we began with today. I have to say, I'm completely considering never buying cows milk again. It tastes amazing and creamy. Has a slight salt flavor but not a yucky taste. My girls drank it up with no issues. Nathan and ragan were a little less excited (they are picky anyway) but Nathan did drink it mixed In his tea so yay. 
Results already...no way. Well yes actually Ragan's behavior after having the milk is a big change here. Ever since we stopped breast feeding he's been crying and emotional. Basically having meltdowns. 5-10 a day. After having just 1/2 ounce of camel milk no meltdowns at all today. He's less interested in a device and just wants to play and be "normal" for a while only playing on a phone would stop the melt downs.
Nathan is asleep. His schedule is way off And I'm trying hard to fix it. He did have 1-2 ounces before he went to bed. We shall see how he is when he wakes up. 
I feel like I have more energy after drinking it.
Overall the point behind this milk is to assist in healing the gut. This milk is packed full of tons of healthy things. I'm so excited to see what this does for Nathan. I'm still undecided what we will add next week. I have some multi gummies for him to try but I don't know if he Will eat them. 
Wish us luck. I'll post again in a few days with an update.

Who is Nathan?

Who is Nathan? Oh my, he's so special it's hard to put in to a description. He's our son who has a diagnoses of pervasive developmental disorder (with suspected autism.) He was basically non verbal until age 5. Then he began the echolia. He is now 7.

A little background at age 2 we brought our concerns to his pediatrician and were basically blamed for his lack of communication. The doctor told us his older sister talked enough for him so he doesn't. That we needed to force him to speak. Don't give in until he asks for something. So my trust of doctors went out the window. He received his diagnoses a year later and we were suggested to go to an autism specialist for that diagnoses. Being it was 2011 and autism was sorta New, new to me at least. I didn't want to attach that label to him just yet. I was told we could get disability and get money for his issues. I didn't want that I wanted my child to be happy and function as best as possible. We tried therapy a few times and he just was not progressing or enjoying it. He would get so upset and not cooperate. Outsiders say I gave up and that from this point he was doomed. He would never be normal. He would never function as a typical child. He would never potty train. He would never speak. He would never do what other kids do. And it will all be your fault. Can you imagine what that does to a mom. But my sons happiness was what mattered. I learned how to work with him at home. He loves tablets or smart phones and just recently is mastering using a laptop. At about 5 he would begin to sing with the videos and apps he watched on his tablet. He could play games and match things on apps. He's very very smart. Now at 7 he's still making leaps and bounds in progress I was told would never happen with out a medical professional. He's semi potty trained. Can count to 20. Knows all his letters. Sings songs in other languages (bc he listens to them in those languages) I began to get involved in the anti vaccines community (that's a whole other issue not touching on it now) where I learn of Dr. Andrew Wakefield. All the info on the gut and autism connection. Also reached out to a fellow autism mom and Facebook friend. She leads me to the MTHFR gene. Which leads me to find all natural healing for my son. Found a group on recovering kids with biomedical interventions. First we started with removing cows milk/dairy. Also he would eat oatmeal pies daily we removed those. We have seen changes in him with just these 2 changes. This leads me to fully believe his symptoms are gut based not neurological. That once we heal his gut his brain will begin to heal. We will also be doing a detox once I receive his hair test results for toxins. I 100% believe our boy is vaccine injured. I believe with the MTHFR gene he is still holding all those toxins inside him. now we begin the process of ridding The bad, adding the good, and healing him.

 I've found the information and guidance I've been searching for for 5 years. Join us on our journey to full recovery.
