Biomedical Treatment

I know that not all children with Autism / ADHD / etc respond to Biomedical Treatment...  

All I know for sure is that the Lord has led me to biomedical treatment of Tyler and it has worked for him.  The SAME NHS Community Paediatrician who started hinting that Tyler had Autism at the age of 4, and at the age of 5 wanted us to have Tyler formally assessed for it, did a complete 180 one year later, 12 months of which he was Gluten-Free and 6 months of which he was also Dairy-Free, saying, “you could back me into a corner and I wouldn’t put that child forward for diagnosis” (Praise the Lord!).  

Through only diet and supplements, under the direction of a private doctor and Nutritionist who specialise in Environmental Medicine for children on the Autistic Spectrum, we have continued to see his immune system go from practically nothing to being stronger than our own, his nutritional levels go up tremendously and his energy levels increase to a level where he can now keep up with kids his own age.  And more…

• ·         At almost the age of 5 years old, Tyler still had never had a solid poo.  After going Gluten-Free, his poos became solid, leading to Tyler being able to tell when he needed the toilet and whether it was wee or poo, meaning we were FINALLY able to successfully (and quickly) potty-train Tyler,

• ·         Saw a return of ‘eye-contact’ 3 months after going Gluten-Free, and another 3 months later he started to progress academically in one school term 4-5 times as much as the entire previous school year (likely due to the morphine-like peptides that had been entering his blood stream via damaged intestinal walls and travelling to his brain,

• ·         Within 2 weeks of being Dairy-Free, Tyler’s daily runny nose dried up completely and his VERY smelly wind virtually disappeared… then he spoke his first complete sentence, completely unprompted but very well thought-out and relevant, at more than 5 and a half years of age,

• ·         Unable to make it through to lunchtime at school because he would get so tired, resulting in “defiance, sometimes leading to aggression”, Tyler was suddenly able to keep going after a minor adjustment to his morning snack,

• ·         Since starting supplements, we’ve seen his sensory needs continue to reduce, his social interaction continue to increase and his gross and fine motor skills increase,

• ·         Recently avoided an ECG, because there was worry of seizures, by starting Mitochondrial Cycle (how the body uses energy) Support.

There is a DIY questionnaire-type assessment, which is now commonly used by parents and practitioners of children on the Autistic Spectrum in both US and UK (ATEC), and though we didn’t start them until last year, we’ve literally “watched” as his score drop from 36 to 26 since we started doing the assessment, plus the benefits we saw before then… less than 30 now places him in the highest functioning 10% of children on the Autistic Spectrum and “Such children have high chances of leading fully independent lives”.

Using Biomedical Treatment has been like “peeling away the layers of Autism” and we are now able to see both what Tyler is really capable of and also where his more specific needs lie.  As I write this, I am hoping that an appointment at our General Practitioner (GP) next week will result in investigations into Auditory Processing Disorder, a much more defined and accurate description of Tyler’s needs at the moment than ‘Autism’.  Then again, I have suspicions that this too has a root “medical” cause, and I have a theory which would be treatable if it is the case, but I won’t go into that now. :)
