Out of all of the kids, Haiden's results looked the best. He has low magnesium, B2, zinc, and vitamin D levels which can all contribute to ADHD symptoms. So we are going to increase those supplements. We are also going to do a Neurotransmitter test to see if we can help with his anxiety.
For the past two years I've have been told by a developmental pediatrician, neurologist, and psychologist that Ella's "issues" were due to my parenting. Now, I know I'm not the best parent in the world but I also know that the behavior's we were seeing in Ella were something more. I also know she was a formula fed, vaccine injured baby whose been damaged. I've also learned to listen to my instinct more than the "specialist" and it pays off. I also am aware of some of my weaknesses and my husband's weaknesses which have contributed to all of this as well. It is not normal for a child to be sick all the time, it is not normal to have low tone, it is not normal to have speech delays, it is not normal to have chronic skin issues, it is not normal to have memory problems at age 5, it is not normal to cry all the time and have anxiety at such a young age. Yes, I could put band aids on all of these issues with medicine but I know her body isn't functioning like it should. The NutraEval gave me the answers! In a nut shell, Ella's body isn't able to detox toxins. So anytime she comes into contact with chemicals, whether it be in vaccines or cleaning products, her body absorbs these. Her system is broken so we are adding some supplements to make this system work. She is also low in her B vitamins, zinc, vitamin D, and her omegas. Ella also has some mitochondrial dysfunction which can be helped with supplements but explains a lot of what we have seen. Remember the Hannah Poling case? That would have been Ella if we continued vaccines. We are now waiting the results of her Neurotransmitter test for more answers to her anxiety and find out ways we can help her naturally.
Mason's test also showed mitochondrial dysfunction and low B vitamins, zinc, vitamin D, and a-lipoic acid. We are going to improve these with supplements as well.
If I were to do what the doctor's tell most of their patients then I would have 4 autistic children. Autism isn't always a brain disorder, it is a body disorder. Why can't every child be tested for these things when they are born? I know it would save a lot of families heartache and the financial burden of raising a child with special needs.
So as I fix all of these organic gluten/casein free meals, use non toxic cleaning materials, use non toxic body care products, wonder if I've lost my mind, and feel the harsh judgement from others, I remind myself that what I am doing is helping my children. What I am doing has saved them.
