Let the healing begin!

After reading the book about healing autism, ADHD, asthma and allergies, I was able to find a holistic nurse practitioner that came highly recommended. She used muscle testing on Mr C as well as an interview assessment and we were able to get the results this week. She stated that he tested positive for mercury poisoning, yeast overgrowth, bacteria, and wheat sensitivity.

As a result we have recently started him on a wheat free, anti-yeast diet to help his body heal. We have also been giving him supplements that rid the body of toxic metals, yeast, and bacteria. This is his second day on the program, so it’s hard to say whether there is any improvement at this time. We should see some differences in as little as two weeks and she said the whole process usually takes about 3 months.

Although I am just appalled that he has been carrying around mercury in his tissues, I am so happy to have found something to help him rid his body of this overload. The book showed how mercury can cause yeast overgrowth and sensory processing challenges. The yeast overgrowth causes inflammation that also leads to sensory processing challenges, allergies, and asthma.

It feels like such a relief to have likely found the actual cause to all of his difficulties in order to eliminate those as opposed to just constantly treating his symptoms. Time will tell if this actually works, but I highly recommend this route for all parents of children suffering from similar challenges.
