The 100 Point Drop

As we rounded out 20 months of detox I performed a routine ATEC evaluation for our severely autistic child. Eight months prior, we enjoyed a whopping 75 point drop while carefully following protocol; but I believed enough improvement had occurred to show another reduction in symptoms.

I was right. Another 25 points sheered off.

That is a total of 100 points in 20 months.

To put this in perspective, we began many years ago with an extreme, severe ATEC score of 179. Four burdensome years with a MAPS netted us 20 measly points and a bank-breaking, lifetime protocol that included no healing and no cure.

I was left with a now much older child who was, developmentally, only 9 to 18 months old, severe on the spectrum, and now crippled with health issues thanks to everything the MAPS doctor had missed.

Fast forward 20 months and our lives are fully motoring in the opposite direction. With a 100 point ATEC drop, the difference is mind-blowing in every arena: Physical health, behavioral, social, cognitive, and developmental improvements are simply remarkable.

What improvements have we seen?

• Regular and normal bowel movements
• Regular and normal sleep
• Potty Trained!
• Addition of previous food allergens
• No more thyroid meds!
• Restored energy
• Able to run, play, swim, climb, ride bike (w/training wheels)
• Ability to use eating utensils
• Improved focus and attention
• Improved engagement
• Eye contact
• Improved processing of information
• Improved communication
• Able to follow simple instructions
• Able to shake head “yes”
• Able to say a few words
• Attempts at becoming verbal
• Executive function improvement
• Social improvement
• Sensory improvement
• No longer home bound
• No longer bed bound!

Our ATEC is currently at 59, so of course we have more work to do, and we are, but life with an ATEC 59 is 100% better than life with an ATEC of 159.

Did I mention we did this all naturally? We have!

For us DETOX has been the way out.
