Cindy Nickerson mom to Thomas and Ryan

I am the mom to four wonderful boys (14, 13, and 5 year old twins.) and wife to a loving supportive husband, Craig. Each day we live to improve the lives of each member of our family. Our five year old twins were diagnosed at 4 with severe autism...today that diagnosis, suprises everyone. Through diet intervention (SCD..no nuts or goat dairy version) our boys made dramatic gains. Although pleased with the gains the boys had made from diet alone, we intervened with valtrex and diflucan....and as a result the boys made even more gains. Along the way we also lessened the toxic burden on our boys by going chemical free in our home and by stopping usage of all uneccessary products on our boys (i.e. any soaps or shampoos, lotions, toothpaste, etc,), getting rid of antimony from their clothes, bedding and carseats, and by adding air purifiers to our home. We also went to reverse osmosis water to ensure they were not getting anything in their water that we did not know about. We did a month of HBOT with nearly 60 hours of treatment and also saw big gains with this intervention. MethylB12 was also helpful to our boys in aquiring language.

Today, at 5 years old, our boys play with other children, have friends, pretend, speak in full sentences, express themselves, retell us stories and events from their day, are in a regular kindergarten, play t ball and hockey, swim, sleep through the night, eat a variety of healthy foods, are completely toilet trained, talk on the phone, transition well with most things that are typical for their age, love to shop, be with family, cuddle, and for the most part, are typical five year old boys.

The combination of a clean healthy diet, biomedical interventions, relearning through behavioural modification techniques and other therapies that help rehabilitate the brain, has brought my boys to a place I never imagined only a year after their diagnosis. Although pleased with their progress we continue with all the above interventions to secure a complete and concrete recovery of our boys from the grips of Autism. One thing I want to say to all parents, when you stop as many assults on your childs body as much as possible, and intervene with things that will help your child, it is at this point, your child is recovering from Autism. It is my hope that all parents with a child with Autism, will get this message loud and clear.
