Autism: Real Life Experiences
|
|
My son Joey was born in poor health and suffered for the first five years of his life. He was constantly medicated for re-occurring infections. At times as many as three different antibiotics were tried for one given infection. I was using over-the-counter medicines for the side effects from the prescriptions. As time went on his health became more and more of a challenge. He developed a serious bowel condition and would eliminate only once every two weeks. Laxatives were used unsuccessfully for over nine months, and he would have involuntary diarrhea while he slept. Joey's behavior became very unpredictable, and unmanageable. While he regressed in all language and social skills before the age of two. Frustration set in with his inability to communicate and he became violent, breaking everything in sight at any given moment. As a loving and caring parent, I did everything imaginable to protect him from injuring himself and others. Going into the community or having a baby sitter was completely out of the question. After several visits to medical specialists, one particular doctor summed up Joey's condition with one word... "Autism." With this news, I immediately enrolled him into early childhood special education classes. Shortly thereafter, it became obvious that the drugs being prescribed to Joey were very serious with major side affects. I began reading everything that would reveal some kind of alternative to Ritalin, which caused allergic reactions winding Joey up in the hospital. One particular reaction led to strep throat, mononucleosis and dehydration, all within 48 hours. A GIFT OF NEW LIFE I chose not to go with the next prescription drug for his behaviors and I ordered the Maritime Pine Plus®. It arrived for Joey's 5th birthday. I have to tell you it was truly the best gift I could have ever given him. It was the gift of new life. In a matter of days, Joey's attitude became calm and cooperative. Within two weeks his bowels started functioning. What a miracle. Prior to using Maritime Pine Plus® I used relaxation therapy with music, only for him to cry and scream of his unusual fear, his fear of the toilet. Upon returning to school, Joey's teachers noted that he was able to handle himself better with other kids during playtime. Within a month he came home telling nursery rhymes in his little sing song voice. In his second month he demonstrated parallel play. In his third month he was able to stay on tasks for longer periods of time with less frustration. Demonstrations of imaginary play were taking place between him and his younger sister. Self help skills are happening at a much faster rate with less frustration than ever before. Today Joey is 10 years old in the fourth grade. He is learning social skills as well as to read and write! He has used Maritime Pine Plus® for five years and has been completely drug free. His health is perfect. His qualify of life is super. I couldn't ask for anything better than the nutrition that Maritime Pine Plus® provides. WHOOPS!!! There have been times over the past five years when we were out of Maritime Pine Plus®. What we witnessed was frightful. Full blown, out of control Autism. A child so sensitive to his own nervous and sensory systems that he couldn't make simple choices. Frustration would create intense pain within his body. He would absolutely go Ballistic I . He would lay on the floor in a fetal position, kicking and bucking like a wild bull. Screaming and crying out of control until I could calm him with comfort measures and prayer. Maritime Pine Plus® CALMED HIM Let me just say a good dose of Maritime Pine Plus® and two hours later all language is back and he's a child that is in control with himself. I thank God every day for Maritime Pine Plus® and my child with a disability. Terri
Tulenchik NO MORE BACK PAIN For 23 years I had suffered from inflammation and pain in my back due to a sports injury. This weekend I drove 1,000 miles straight through from Minnesota to Colorado to attend our lst Annual National Leadership Conference and I never experienced any back pain. Thanks to Maritime Pine Plus®, I am pain free for the first time! Disclaimer: The statements on www.the7thfire.com have not been evaluated by the FDA.
