[Guest guest]

Hi we have six children . Our fourth child developed autism but older

children had asthma eczema and severe done allergies i did not know at

that stage they were red flags. We have two younger children who did

not recieve vaccinations . They have never had ear infections

antibiotics on asthma eczema no food allergies . We now treat any

illness with homempath help. We are actually due number seven in april

and once again theie will no vaccines. Big families are great .good

luck with your decision.

My first born son has autism...the regressive kind. He has some speech delays

at 2 years old, but didn't fully regress into what they call autism until he was

4-5 years old. I had 2 more boys after him. I went off all dairy with my

second one while I nursed him and he had no problems. My first baby spit up

half of everything he nursed, but no one ever told me to go off dairy. My

second son had all his vaccine's except the last MMR. By then, I had read

enough to not want them anymore. He is almost 8 years old now and is totally

normal. Top of his class in reading and math. My 3rd born son just turned 6

and he is normal as well. I gave him the first round of vaccines and then

stopped with him...I believe the vaccines' aggravated whatever was wrong with my

first born son...and since we didn't know what that was..and didn't know if my

3rd born would react the same way, I just didn't give them to him. I believe my

first born's immune system was messed up from birth and every vaccine and virus

he got since he was born has continued to cause him problems. We have been on

Valtrex for the last 9 months and seeing some minor improvements.

I did have a horrible rash the last month of my pregnancy with my first born.

No one knew what it was or why....but now I believe is was caused by yeast in

me. I wonder if that threw off my first born son's immune system? I did not

have that rash with the other pregnancies...but I did get it once more when I

went back on birth control pills. When I read that the pill can cause yeast...I

figured out that was why I was having that itchy rash that was worse at night.

My oldest son (12 years old) is /ASD. He was treated by Dr. Goldberg from

Oct 2002-July 2009. No, he is not recovered, but is continually making progress.

I gave birth (over-due, induced with ALL three pregnancies) to a second boy,

born Nov 2005 and a girl born Sept 2008. With both of these pregnancies I

followed Dr. Goldberg's basic pregnancy guideline- which is following the

diet and an alternative vaccine schedule.

You stay on the /low allergen diet while pregnant for yourself/unborn baby

and then while nursing. And keep the baby on the diet once starting solid

foods until he/she is 2 years old.

**The other key factor in reducing the risk of another " " kid is an

alternative vaccine schedule. You opt out of the Hepatitis B vaccine (the

hospital didn't push it for us since my oldest son reacted to it) and chicken

pox.

Otherwise, you split up the other vaccines, giving DTP and polio when you go in

for the 2, 4, and 6 month check-ups, and then come in on the " odd " months (3, 5,

and 7) for the HiB and pneumococcal. Our local doctor has been willing to work

with us this way.

Any GOOD doctor would be willing to side with caution, and the parents, in my

opinion.**

I was able to breastfeed my second son for two years. (My oldest had a low

sucking reflex and never learned to latch on properly). Younger brother has

taken medication 5-6 times times for illness/infection in his life, compared to

my oldest who was being treated for an ear infection at least every other month

his first year. He's never had sleep/night screaming issues or any of the other

issues my oldest had during his first few years. He's a happy, healthy

chatterbox and has passed his older brother in social/language skills. But he

has been the BEST therapy for his brother. They tickle each other, roll on the

floor together, play ball, and play board/card games (with adult help).

My daughter is developing wonderfully, breastfed for just under 2 years. She's

only been sick/on medication 2 times, and hasn't had colic or trouble sleeping

at night. She's speaking several hundred words and in complete sentences. Oldest

brother is even sweeter with her than he is with his brother--he instigates

games like peek-a-boo and hide-and-go-seek with her. And keeps her out of

trouble when she starts to get into something she shouldn't.

Again, siblings make great therapist for the /ASD kids.

Hope this is helpful/reassuring.
