Curing Autism

Total improvements from chelation for Sam's autism are immense. This spans a two and a half year period and I think it's important to look at the total picture as gains have been slow. It's easy for parents to get frustrated and give up. The only chance our children have is for parents to keep going to beat this son of a bitch named autism.

Sam's autism was as bad as it gets. This child was totally unreachable. He never responded to his name, never slept, didn't eat, smeared feces, ate anything he could get his hands on, tried to drink water out of the gutter, bashed his head into walls, bit himself, climbed out of windows, ran into traffic, battled constipation for years, screamed ALL DAY LONG. In short, he was a completely inconsolable wreck. He was in constant motion and would destroy anything he could get his hands on. At school, teachers allowed him to sit in the middle of the floor by himself because they could not do anything with him. He paid zero attention to anything and was content to spin himself in circles all day or lie on the floor playing with anything that would spin.

Sam had always walked with a limp, dragging one leg behind the other. I think that was the first improvement that came about from chelation. He used to take stairs two feet to every step and, at age 8, finally began to walk up stairs normally. He had battled constipation for years, screaming in pain while trying to expel baseball sized masses that were hard as a rock. This was the next thing to go away. His bowels have been mostly normal since a couple of months into chelation. Prevailing wisdom claims that the gut must be healed before starting chelation but, in Sam's case, I'm certain the chelation healed his gut. He was almost 8 when we started and I had wasted two years that I couldn't put everything into place I needed to begin chelation. I wasn't going to waste another minute once it became possible to start ridding him of the mercury.

The first improvement in mental symptoms came when Sam began making eye contact. It was fleeting at first but slowly increased until he first responded to his name by looking into my eyes. That was a beautiful moment. He had not looked into my eyes since he was less than a year old. Then came some communication, not speech but leading us by the hand to show us what he wanted. He'd drag us to the food cabinets and if we grabbed the wrong item, he'd shove us back until we found the right one that he wanted. Then he began moving our arms until they were in position to pick out a certain item. Now, he's tall enough to reach most things for himself. This was a child who never could let it be known that he was hungry. He only ate when we decided it was time for him to eat. I'm sure that added to his frustration and probably caused some of the meltdowns. Of course, once an autistic meltdown has begun, it can take an hour or so to stop, at least in Sam's case. He still has meltdowns but they are much easier to stop now. Sometimes, he fakes a meltdown now for attention and laughs at us when we go to stop it.

Laughter is a nice indicator that Sam is getting better. He had laughed as a baby but seemed to lose that skill for a long time, except when being tickled. He wasn't amused by much of anything. Now, he laughs appropriately all the time. Part of that is from paying attention and part is from being able to understand what is said to him.

Sam now follows commands which is something that was just a waste of breath before chelation. I can tell him to go hit a golf ball now and he'll look around for a golf club, find one, and go hit the ball. I had tried to swing the club for him thousands of times without Sam ever doing anything but dropping the club or trying to eat it. Now, he'll grip it properly and hit the ball. He still shows no interest in hitting it a long ways like his younger siblings but it's progress. He also plays catch now where, before, if you threw Sam a ball, he'd ignore it completely and it would just bounce off him. He even puts his seatbelt on in the car now and leaves it on instead of taking it off and climbing all over the car although I still don't trust him in the back seat of my car that doesn't have the childproof door locks.

Sam has learned to dress himself, eat with utensils instead of his fingers, color, write (a little), exchange pictures with PECS, use a touch screen computer, ride a bike and open his Christmas presents instead of eating the wrapping paper and ignoring the presents. These are things I never expected he would do before chelation. He was just like a brain dead child who could walk and scream. Now, he's learning, showing us that he does, indeed have a brain that can work, and works a little better with every little bit of mercury that comes out.

I've followed Andy Cutler's protocol using oral DMSA and oral Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA). I've always stopped a round any time I missed a dose. This has slowed down the improvement because I missed lots of doses by not being able to wake myself up at 4:00AM after staying up until midnight. But, I've completed 35 or 40 good rounds. I wasn't taking any chances that I'd hurt Sam by ignoring Dr Cutler's advice. Some people have done over 100 rounds in the same timeframe. Sam would probably be better off if I had done that many. I shudder to think what he would be like now if I had not chelated him at all.

School and many therapists never did anything to improve Sam's life until after chelation. Lots of uneducated people insist that teachers make the difference with kids with autism. These are the same people who continue to spout the nonsense that there is no known cause or cure for autism. These alleged professionals are an absolute disgrace to their profession. They have all heard of chelation by now yet they continue to tell unsuspecting parents that their child's best chance is through educators while they deny the fact that mercury caused this epidemic.

Some children with autism realize improvement in their symptoms with ABA. This is great if it helps the kid. However, this therapy is only a temporaruy fix. I now have the same results with chelation that ABA purports to provide but Sam's improvement is permanent and I didn't have to torture him with that intensive therapy to help him improve. There is money to be made by those who provide ABA. The behaviorists involved in autism seem to want to ignore the fact, however, that biomedical intervention is gaining better results than the behavioral therapy. One would think that, if they had the best interests of the children in mind, they would accept this new knowledge that has been gained about chelation and get on board with it as part of a multi disciplined approach to helping these kids. For the most part, the behaviorists don't do this. They still, in their ignorance, want to parrot the preachings of the Medical professionals who aver that autism is not caused by mercury. That makes the behaviorists part of the problem rather than part of the solution. The object of any professional who works with autism should be to get rid of the autism. Settling for some half-assed improvement is far from professional in my book. Teachers need to learn that they can do their jobs a lot more effectively if the children they are teaching are receiving the medical treatment they need to remove the poison that caused the autism.

That is great that Sam is doing so well. I talk to so many parents who have allowed so called "ABA professionals" convince them that anything biomedical is "pseudo science." I always wonder why these people would allow these scam artists (although there are some very good ABA professionals, many of them are in it for the money, particularly the ABA centers)convince them not to explore biomedical.

I think until a child's system is balanced and whatever toxins are removed, any kind of intervention is not going to be as effective. Every parent really needs to understand that all of the underlying problems (such as toxins, yeast, food allergies, etc.)have to be addressed. It takes effort and research to implement chelation and understand the entire biomedical picture and many parents are just not willing to do this. They just want to drop them everyday with people who claim to be experts and ignore everything else which is really a shame.

Joseph;
I think your son is fortunate that he's not as low functioning as my son. Perhaps, being born in 2001, he was poisoned with less mercury. I wonder if he might be normal now if you had chelated him.
As far as Adams goes, I don't think we'll learn much from any short term study on chelation. We won't learn anything if Adams isn't using ALA.
Pointing me to J Ken Wickiser's blog doesn't do much good. That guy is way too strange to expect me to pay any attention to anything he has to say. Although, if you want to summarize his point, it might be worth consideration.

John Best said...

Anon; The problem with the behaviorists is that their approach was the only one available for a long time. These nitwits have not kept pace with the state of the art for autism treatments and don't realize that their methods are now obsolete.

John Best said...

Joseph;
The word "MAY" is the important one here. What if the CDC told us that thimerosal may cause autism in 1 in 166? 165 parents would win that bet. Pretty good odds, wouldn't you say?
Autism IS cognitive impairment from where I sit. It might not be so bad for you and others with higher functioning kids. Sam had no cognitive ability whatsoever until removing some of the mercury allowed him to begin functioning at a low level. From what he was, no drug that doesn't kill him could possibly make him worse. And, as I stated, he has improved tremendously.

What a brilliant post! How could anyone reading this dispute that Sam is benefitting from your love, devotion and bloody hard work.
I, as you know, have a high-functioning autistic boy and prior to diagnosis things were tough. Prior to all the hard work we put in place things were hard. Things are heaps easier now, and he was high functioning!
You deserve more credit and admiration than what the "nitwits" could possibly muster were they to agree with you.
I honestly don't know and don't care what the cause of Sam's autism is or whether chelation is the answer, but the fact he is improving is testament to the fact that you, as a dedicated parent, are doing something very right. To stop what you are doing now would be a form of child abuse.
You have my support John.
Well done mate!

Evolution is fact. Vaccinations clear the pathways. The only discomfort exists in the minds of those who resist the true destiny of humanity and refuse to embrace the brave new world. It is true that all Autistics are savants. The exceptions are the poor unfortunates who are exposed to poor quality sustenance. Something impossible to blame on medicine. A poor diet results in reduced attention and adversely affects the child's evolutionary development. The weblog owner is fully responsible for the discomfort provided by the constipation of his offspring and the immense diversion to removing the metallic substances that he himself placed there through inappropriate dietary habits.

Hey Joe;
If Sam improved, doesn't that prove that testing him would've been a waste of money, especially since we had already tested to rule out genetics?
Aren't I entitled to my pursuit of happiness while I deal with the damn autism?

John Best said...

Joe; Sam's chelation has been over two years so far. I say the gains prove I did the right thing, testing or not. DMSA challenge tests can be dangerous by using way too much DMSA at one time.
When you have to weigh the cost of testing versus making a mortgage payment, testing to confirm what you already know is pointless.

Joe; Science only attempts to explain that which God knows. You will never know what God knows and there's no point in trying.
Was it science that put untested mercury into vaccines? It was science that gave us the answer of how to get the mercury out of poisoned kids. I say it's you who refuses to pay attention and learn from science.
You agree with professional scientists who poisoned babies but you disagree with not for profit scientists who are helping to cure those poisoned children. We see that your opinion of the science agrees with those who profit from it. You are not looking at the science objectively.

Joseph; The measure of the Geier's is in the kids who benefit from Lupron. Whatever else they do towards that end doesn't matter.

There is more profit in encouraging paranoia than there is in selling legal drugs. Emotion charged reactions lead to spending more money. The chelation providers make more money by giving parents false hope so they spend more on it.

So who are the greedy doctors really?

"Teachers need to learn that they can do their jobs a lot more effectively if the children they are teaching are receiving the medical treatment they need to remove the poison that caused the autism." This makes a lot of sense! I've been reading through your whole blog & what you say seems so rationale to me. The only other thing we've done is to make sure no more mercury or other heavy metals or toxins (that we know of ...) are going back in.

An example for us was the aluminum poisoning (besides our mercury problem). I found we had aluminum cookware, some cheese have aluminum, cans etc. And as I already said no more fish here (due to mercury & other contaminants).

Fore Sam: 'The word "MAY" is the important one here. What if the CDC told us that thimerosal may cause autism in 1 in 166? 165 parents would win that bet. Pretty good odds, wouldn't you say?'

That's an interesting hypothetical. It presents me with a bit of a problem, since I'm the type you'd call a member of the Cult of Neurodiversity, even though (and I expect you'll ignore this, because it challenges your false dichotomy) I regard autism as a condition that can cause quite a bit of trouble for the affected. Off the cuff, I'd say that I'd be concerned enough to weigh risks vs. benefits, in that case, and would be careful about thimerosal. I could probably use some education about actual autistics in making up my mind, were this hypothetical true; thanks, but you can keep the "education" from the "autism epidemic" claimants.

But now that you've asked your question, turnabout is fair play. Back in the real world, the CDC has AFAIK only released data that could be interpreted 1 in 166 American incidence as a worst case and continues to support the scientific concensus that there is no reason to believe that thimerosal causes autism. Furthermore, the data has still not shown that removing thimerosal from many vaccines has reduced the incidence of autism, as it should have if vaccines with thimerosal were a cause (even if not the only cause) of autism. I've yet to see you acknowledge that this is pretty much the last straw for the notion that administering thimerosal to children in vaccines caused their autism, but that's precisely why you've switched to the fallback position that it's due to flu vaccines administered to mothers.

Now you seem to expect your latest claim to be believed by default, asking on Respectful Insolence (search for "John Best") for scientists to disprove it and apparently believing that you win by default until they do. I'm afraid reason doesn't work that way, or scientists would be writing about the Santa Claus, Zeus, Shiva, and angels. After all, some believe in each of these, and I don't recall any papers disproving them.

So, my question: What could ever convince you that thimerosal does not cause autism?

BTW, to those commenting on names, I've certainly wondered at the chutzpah of calling oneself "Common Sense", one particularly strident antivaxer. Just as well I work in mathematics, so I'm not tempted to call myself "Authoritative Scientist". Calling oneself "Real McCoy"... eh, there may be some merit to complaints. Still, got any better comebacks than "You don't know me!" or insult by amateur psychoanalysis?

John Best said...

"Furthermore, the data has still not shown that removing thimerosal from many vaccines has reduced the incidence of autism, as it should have if vaccines with ..."
It looks like your key word is "many". Since we don't know exactly how much of this poison it takes to cause autism, there can be no proof until it is gone from all vaccines.
But, we already have that proof from the Amish and the mainstream doctors in Chicago who opted not to poison babies. All we're dealing with now is to what lengths the drug industry will go to keep poisoning babies to make itself look innocent. I think they are pretty sure how much it takes to cause the autism since the rates skyrocketed after they started using the HepB on the day of birth, before babies develop a blood brain barrier. You can play games with studies skewed to show one thing or another ad infinitum but you can't deny the existence of all these children who can't function at all that mysteriously appeared after the thimerosal increased.
The only thing that's important through all of this is how to help the kids. Chelation looks like the best solution so far. If you're not concerned with the best method of helping the kids, you're just arguing extraneously. If you disagree that the kids need help, you're insane.

Anonymous said...

The only way to cure us is death from too much blood lost, or possibly from damaging our brains more. So yeah, medical treatment, or getting shot, but shooting's too obviously murdering to use on someone without getting a tiny sentence by court that would be much higher if the kid wasn't autistic.

You know I have been thinking about this for a long time. Just some food for thought. Knowing how far the Government has gone to cover this up, what makes us think that the mercury has been taken out of the vaccines? Because they say its been taken out. Knowing what we know, we meaning those who have followed this controversy for about ten years. Those of us who have listened to the Dan Burton hearings. The lies these people have been caught in. The fact that not one faced any charges. Is it that far a stretch to think they would lie about taking the thimerisol out, and keeping it in just so the numbers would not drop. I forget now who it was that was testifying at one of the IOM meetings (another sham) making a statement about finding the full amount of thimersiol in one of the vaccines, after it was supposedly removed. In fact he even found it in the MMR vaccine. I don't mean to downplay the autism issue, but take a really good look at what is going on. The Vioxx scandal for one. The FDA attacked one of its own scientists for exposing this drug as a killer. The trillions of dollars that have gone into cancer research and still they rely on toxic chemo, and radiation to to treat it. The HIV hoax, that we know was spread by contaminated needles in Africa, but was originally cooked up in one of our own labratories and injected into gays via the hep vaccine. The aids drugs that they use that destroy the immune system that creates aids. Out FDA that is trying to destroy our access to vitamins, and alternative treatments. Whne you start to look at all of this and put the pieces of the puzzle together a very frightening picture begins to immerge that makes Joseph Mengala look like mother Theresa. Yes it is about money and power, but it is also bigger than that, and much more frightening.

John the Amish don't vaccinate at all. Even if they remove all the thimerisol, there is still the aluminum. What is most amazing is that mercury, and aluminum are amoung the most neurotoxic elements know, second only to uranium. How in GOD's name can there be a debate. It reminds me of Julie Gudtenberg from the IOM saying in an interview. "Well we know mercury is not good for you, but that does not mean it causes autism" Duh! OK then what the hell does it cause?

Dr Lawrence Diller, author of the book, "Should I Medicate My Child," stated in language relevant here, while testifying before an FDA advisory committee in September 2004, regarding the conduct of companies concealing the adverse effects of drugs and promoting off-label prescribing:

"The blame is clear: The money, power and influence of the pharmaceutical industry corrupt all. The pervasive control that the drug companies have over medial research, publications, professional organizations, doctors' practices, Congress, and yes, even agencies like the FDA, is the American equivalent of a drug cartel."

John, I want you to listen to this, and listen carefully.

Since I first posted on this blog, I was angry (and I still am). Angry with you and your friends using your first amendment rights to the detriment of others who have CHOSEN to take a different path to the one you have chosen for your son. Ever since I came on here you have gone out of your way to paint me as "brain damaged", "insane", "needing help" (as in chelation and nothing else), and so on. And you have shown absolutely no respect for what sort of effect that has had on me.

And even when I slowed up my posting to a dribble - you didn't let up.

Why?

I know the reason. It's been painted by other people. You are determined to change the world, and that includes those of us who have chosen to live with our disorders and make the best fist of it that we can. You have shown absolutely no respect for that choice - a choice we have the right to make as human beings. And this also applies to Kevin Leitch, Kathy Seidel, Michelle Dawson, and every other ASD person and supporter who exists on the same side of the fence to me.

The reality is - all you are doing is upsetting and angering us. As a direct result of your publication of my full name, you attracted a convicted stalker, and a known threat, and a known defamer who I am presently attempting to serve the documents he so desperately wants (see that last post of the "Who is PG" thread). You don't care that you are wrecking my Internet life, a crucial aspect of my routine. And you don't care about others in the same boat.

I know you'll say "So go and get chelated and your problems will be solved".

I say - I am an Aspie. That is who I am. I have the right to make the choice and accept it about myself, and neither you nor anyone else on this blog can take that away from me. You in fact have no right to try and influence my life decisions, especially by the bully boy tactics you have employed.

You have adversely affected my life with the publication of my full name, and the abuse you have dealt out to me. You may argue that I asked for it. When I first came on here I tried to make you see reason. You attacked me first, and everything after that was in retaliation and self defence.

I am asking you as a human being, to stop - now. I am asking you to remove my full name from wherever it is in this blog, because of the damage it has caused with the people you have attracted here - people that would never have posted otherwise. You do not realise - or even care - about the damage you are doing to me. Severe and upsetting damage that is affecting my life and my routine. If you have any regard for human life, you'll stop and do as I ask. You have done enough. In fact you have done too much. You have made me hate even more. You have made me afraid. Is that what you wanted? To scare me? Well you succeeded. But you won't make me do something I don't believe in and will never believe in - and you have no right to even try. Persisting will only prove that you do not respect the choices of the individual - especially in a country where the laws are different such as Australia, where freedom of speech comes with a price tag called accountability.

And what did you make me afraid of? People like you - who will stop at nothing to force us to engage in a medical treatment that is not verified to "cure Autism". And in the process holding back the true understanding of all ASD's, which is needed no matter what you say.

If you have any human decency about you, please do as I ask. And leave us alone. Spreading hate will only harm your cause - whether I agree with it or not (and I don't). Someone else said some time ago to just concentrate on your son. I agree. You are not emotionally qualified to be the voice of this treatment because you are filled with too much anger and hate yourself to be a reliable voice that can or should be listened to by those who make the important decisions. I have no doubt that you are being laughed at by those authorities - while people who believe the same as you are certain to be pleading that you (to quote Cutting Edge) STFU.

I will be interested to read your reply to this. Do I get an ounce of respect? Or do I get abused again? Let's see shall we?

Phil, You're probably not the only person who feels this way amidst this debate. I think I'll use your comment here for a post and see if the chief invaders of privacy from your camp want to opt to cease that practice.
You brought it on yourself. Those from my side who have been abused never confronted assholes like Leitch and Seidel.

I never brought the privacy thing on myself. You did that, as did Susan - and what it caused was as a result your fault. I maintain it would never have happened if you just stuck to my first name - as you should have. The privacy laws in Australia are far tougher than they are in the US - and as (under international precedent) this privacy breach has occurred in Australia - ie it is where I viewed it - Australian Law applies.

But....let's see what happens with your new post. I assume you are trying to prove that they won't be back. The stalker won't be (unless he's a complete idiot because he has been warned by the police about that), but I'm not so sure about the other two. Especially the defamer.

Oh, and on Kevin and Kath - they have access to a lot of support. You and the others know that so you leave them alone because they scare you. You concentrate on those who don't have the same level of support - like me and to a degree Michelle.

Phil, Just as an aside here, Kevin and Kathleen make me laugh. They are two jackasses extraodinaire. They are scared to death of me. That's why they are afraid to let me post any comments on their blogs. Neither of them have the brains or the guts to defend themselves. I'm very busy now Phil so I might not get to this issue for a week or more. In fact, I may never get around to it.

No - they won't allow you to comment because they have standards to uphold. They see you as below their standard. It's called standing on principle. Funny that - because their blogs have an aim and it succeeds. Your blog has an aim as well, and it fails. Why? Because you allow anybody to comment. You say it's to demonstrate how many idiots there are. I say it devalues your stated aim - which is why Kev and Kath are NOT scared of you. I wouldn't be either if it wasn't for your shameless pursuit of me through my forum (which you will never get approval on) or the petition which the hosts have fixed up - as well as the privacy breach and the direct bullying.

And if you have enough time to come in here - you have enough time to do what you said you were going to do. So do it.

Phil,

You fail to understand that you cannot call out others and try to claim that they are so horrible when you turn around and do the same behaviour. I have seen you "out" (for the lack of a better term) people on your own website. Why do you get so angry when John does it? Your buddy Kev Leitch has done the same numerous times on his site as has Kathleen. You CAN'T have it both ways.

Because he doesn't mod out the consequences. I do. So does Kevin, Kathy and Michelle. We are responsible people. Best is not.

Wrong Phil, people who intentionally harm children are insane.

This is why you are dangerous, Best, because you aren't thinking. You don't understand that you could be harming your son - as I explained to Susan on the Brian Deer thread. You are doing something new. You can say all you want about 60 years of chelation. You preach that you are right, and anyone who disagrees is insane and harming children. That's low, it's wrong and it asks for the sorts of commentary you have been receiving.

You are extremely dangerous to the fabric of understanding conditions like ASD's.

YOU are insane.

That is my final post on this blog.

Phil, I saw your picture. You're very naive. The people who want you to believe that mercury did not cause the autism epidemic do not have your best interests in mind.

A question, Fore Sam? How do you know what is in Phillip's best interests? Do you really know him, or anyone else you have abused on this blog? Or are you stereotyping him? If you are then I must agree with Phillip. You are insane.

Concerned, Becoming normal instead of celebrating brain damage is in Phil's best interest. I have not abused anyone who didn't ask for it.

And who are you to say what is in his best interests, sir?

I say - I am an Aspie. That is who I am. I have the right to make the choice and accept it about myself, and neither you nor anyone else on this blog can take that away from me.

It would appear to me that Phillip has made his choice and will not change it. As I understand the condition, routine is necessary. It seems you are attempting to interfere with Phillip's routine and it would seem intentionally. It is no wonder Phillip is angry with you and I feel that anger is justified. I agree with him when he says he has thr right to choose. Who are you to take the choice away from him. Whether or not you agree with his choice is an irrelevant argument.

I therefore recommend strongly that you move on and forget all about him. He has stated that he has made his final post.

Although I do recall him stating that before?

"Mich, You admit you have brain damage. That a good starting point. Now, the avenue you should pursue is investigating whether or not that brain damage is reversible."

It is reversible only by death, only by me giving into suicide for no reason. I also don't care if I am brain-damaged, because..... *eyes Fore-Sam* ....there will always be someone much more hypocritical and brain-damaged in the world than me.....!

"Autism Epidemic"? Seriously, your hate blog is making me uber-sick, and not from mercury poisoning.
