My 5-year old babyboy

[Guest guest]

Hi Everybody and thanks for letting me in.

My name is Lara and I am a mother of two: Diego (5 years old) and Mirta (2 years

old).

Mirta is okay, but my husband and me, we seem to be having some heavy issues

with Diego.

When Diego was 4 years old, he was diagnosed with PDD with autism spectrum.

Despite having language troubles (flaws in pronunciation, sometimes wrong or

poor articulation and repetitive sentences/questions) Diego is very verbal.

We then started a gluten, dairy products, sugar and soy-free diet earlier this

year.

This happened in April but we sadly we had to restart it in August after finding

that both his school and his Summer camp didn't comply with the diet.

We are Italians living in Spain (Tenerife, Canary Islands) and we must sadly

admit it looks like living in a 3rd world country sometimes.

Again back to April we found a DAN doctor. He followed Diego from that month

until September...That is when we found he was another guy more interested in

our money than in Diego's health.

He never examined Diego...All he could do was to let us talk for some minutes

and then proceed to prescribe a variety of expensive medicines (all of them

could be casually found in his personal chemistry). He also prescribed him two

exams: Hair mineral analysis and intestinal dysbiosis.

All these treatments have never had a significant impact on him...In particular,

the last treatment (the doctor had defined it " a neurological energy

bomb " ...Brain enhancement or so) really got him worse: Diego was the

quintessence of agitation...Hyperactive, angry, moody, quarrelsome and with a

terryifing pale face and heavy eyebags.

On top of that, his chronic sleep problems had taken a turn for the worse.

After a couple of weeks, We wrote an email to the doctor reporting Diego's

worsening. He replied that he had to undergo a cortisol test but neither gave he

nor sent us his order request.

After a month and a half of treatment we wrote him again saying that we couldn't

cope with Diego any longer. We were wondering whether this treatment was really

effective. Diego was more and more ...Unmanageable. We had troubles having a

proper meal, he just wouldn't sit down and eat...Too agitated. He has never ever

replied...Basically he vanished. Needless to say I forwarded him the same email

over and over...No joy. He decided to ignore us and not to admit his supposed

mistakes.

On such grounds we suspended the treatment one week after the first sending of

the email. Diego regained his old sunny face in a couple of days and his overall

behaviour soon improved.

On my own initiative, I am now administering him Vitamin C, Folyc acid, Vitamin

D, probiotics and zinc picolinate.

We read about Methyl B12 Nasal Spray and we would like to test it on Diego. We

successfully ordered it from the US but it's been quite an endeavour to get the

pharmacy to send it. At the moment though, we do not know when we are due to get

it...The shipping costs are huge so they are arranging to put together some

stuff for Spain, in order to save on such costs (I'm afraid it will take

months).

I think it's enough information for now...Please feel free to ask me any kind of

questions. A heartfelt " thank you all " in advance for your help, time and

replies.

Lara
