May take some doing but of course. Any hopes for speech?

No specifics to offer here, but be careful who you give your power to; acknowledge panic and do not let it tell you what to do. Take heart. What hurts you is just one doc's opinion -- and most of us have experience with a majority of them being the worst "party of no." The body, even if compromised early, has lifelong innate self-healing and developmental powers. It is estimated now that we may have three strands of DNA and might be using less than one percent of our brains at best, with multiple ways of knowing and function available to tap into. How to access fuller function? Persistence and out of the box thinking is all there is to keep from despair. The child might soak up a home atmosphere of hopeless, one-way tunnelvision, leading to

learned helplessness, if no-thinking rules. That happened in my family of origin where docs' dummy-words were the last and only words -- the rule of law. Helen Keller, though with a different situation, taught us that we are all capable of doing some form of what she did. All children deserve the best hope that was given to her by co-genius Annie Sullivan.Left-brainwashed, low-echelon docs, some of whom like to think of themselves as experts, do not have the time or humility to self-educate on the latest advances in neurology, the plasticity of the brain, human potential, and are still stuck on linear IQ, etc. My situation was severely worsened by those dummies -- worse than the original injuries by far. The data and thinking of three months ago is already frozen in time and habit; there is someone already

out there who has solved some impossibles and gone beyond them. Think of the wildest wellness scenario you can think of and let that guide you through innate creativity to tap into others' practical experience bases: You will get a lot of good input from this site as always. For adults and teens with brain issues, Brain Training Centers of America can resolve a lot of trauma in the brain re: chronic illness without endless CB talk therapy. Results are sometimes slow as they were with me, but the charts and numbers of each improving session do not lie about different parts of the brain healing and starting to synch with one another. Big plus: FREE for veterans, especially those with PTSD, if they would only go to the pond and drink. Many won't partake because of learned helplessness.To: BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism Sent: Fri, January 21, 2011 4:18:54 PMSubject: Any hopes for speech?

Hello everybody,

This is probably going to be a long post, but I really need to share my fears and thoughts and hopefully get your opinion and experience.

Few days ago my son got evaluated from developmental pediatrician and of course found him to be autistic. We already knew that with my husband, so nothing shocking, although 2 years ago when we went to developmental pediatrician assessment they found that my son is not autistic but with sensory disintegration disorder – underactive type (I know - very long name, showing nothing). However, over the past 2 years we already knew that my son has autism and started all the dietary interventions, went to DAN doctor, did sequential and classical homeopathy and the last 7 months we are seeing Dr. K's assistant and my son has been treated for Lyme, co-infections, parasites, yeast, bacteria, everything under the sun.

However, over the last 2.5 years since we are doing all that my son has made minimum progress (with exception to the last few months that we notice he is more aware, much better eye contact and more playful with us) and something that really hurt me is that the developmental pediatrician said that kids who haven't started talking until 5 (my son is 5.5 years old) after that the prognosis are even more slim, because the first 5 years is when this part of the brain – speech , is developing the most. I cannot even put into words how much this prognosis hurt me, because this is my biggest dream, to hear my son talking. He has only 1 word that he uses on regular basis – "open" and everything else is just "baba" and lots of louad noises. She advised us to look into other types of communication – divices, picture exchange, etc. We are using some sign language with my son but for the most part we are focused on his speech and this is the part we have been

working the most.

My brain cannot even process that my son may never talk, but the time indeed is passing and I feel more and more concerned and panicked about that.

So my question is - are here any kids who were not verbal until 5-6 years old and after that they started talking? I know every child is very individual and what has helped one child doesn't mean it will help another. However, I was wondering if there is a child who had similarities with my son and then something really helped?

Here are the supplements that my son is taking:

Neem, propolis, cistus tea, selenium CWS, TiQuench, Fermented cod liver oil, Ketotifen, DMG, CGF (chlorella grouth factor), Laktoferrin, liver life, CORE, Quintessence, MB12 shots every 3 days, graviola, few days ago also started Enzogenol, some homeopathics for drainage and for the last 10 days we have been doing also the anti-parasitic drugs as per Dr. K's protocol . I have been reading recently about L-Carnosine and that helps with speech so I am considering getting it.

Recenly we purched Valkion so for the last 2 weeks my son is also getting some oxygenized water, we are also doing scalp acupuncture twice per week, chiropractic adjustments evry 1-2 weeks, osteopathy and for the therapies – SonRise, speech and occupational therapy.

Please share your thoughts and experience. What are we missing? We have never done chelation, may be this is part of the missing puzzle?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Krassi
