October 18th, 2010 Mom I’ve had some requests to give an update on our recovery efforts with AC chelation and homeopathy with Pierre Fontaine. Here’s our story so far.
My almost 7 year old is DX’d with autism although he is more Asperger’s like. My 5 year old is almost NT. I have bad bad chronic fatigue.
Let’s talk AC chelation first. We started in May. We, all three, were very toxic. My two boys weigh 65 & 60 pounds respectively. I started them on 6mg ALA and DMSA. Even with this small dosage it was very very rough. Horrible regressions. Both were asked to leave summer day camp and my almost NT was also asked to leave his summer preschool enrichment program. Their behavior was wild, feral. Uncontrollable. It was also hard on me too. The fatigue and brain fog were debilitating. Thank God I have a couch in my kitchen. I get up. Make breakfast. Lay down. Refill their coconut milk. Lay down. You get the idea. We had a tough summer.
I stuck with the chelation, though, because I knew that their horrible behavior and my fatigue and brain fog meant that we were in great need of detoxification. It also validated what I already knew via our hair tests….that we were mercury and lead toxic.
At some point during this difficult time I read RecoveringNicholas’ story about her experience with Pierre. Just for grins I made an appointment and bought the Lansky book and Pierre’s book too. I thought it was all kind of nutty but harmless…and I was willing to try it. I was (and still am to some degree) of the typical logical biomed mindset. Biomed (and AC Chelation) makes sense to me. It is easy to understand. It is logical. So homeopathy in itself was a big stretch for me to grasp hold of and get on board with…. logically. I made the mistake of reading Pierre’s book first. Although now I think I get most of what he tries to communicate about homeopathy in his book……now after using homeopathy for 3 months….however, when I was reading it I was thinking….man this guy is really cuckoo. Then I read Lansky’s book. It helped a little. By that I mean it helps tie a logical thought pattern to the underlying ‘science’ behind homeopathy. But since I am not the kind of person that believes everything she reads….I was still skeptical. Nevertheless I had the appt with Pierre scheduled and so I was committed mentally to give it a try.
My first consult with Pierre was in mid July. I did the consult for my 7 year old autistic son. Pierre thankfully discovered that my son’s remedy would also be my remedy. It didn’t take more than a week before I was a homeopathy believer. The first thing I noticed was that the regression he was going through since starting AC chelation was gone. Overnight. And he no longer has side effects. We have been able to ramp him up quickly from the 6mg that was previously debilitating to him….to 25mg….all without any side effects whatsoever.
With homeopathy my son was instantly more aware of everything around him. Noticing things that had always been around…but he had never ‘seen’. Asking questions about things that weren’t his preferred topic. Attending to tasks much much better…he can actually sit down and do his homework. (Did I mention he is ADD too?) Less anger, arguing, irritability. Irrational fears gone. He is actually pretend playing with his brother. He took his backpack to the car without me asking him to (I had never ever asked him to do it before…so he was anticipating the need of it being done all by himself). Improved eye contact. He deals better with frustration….specifically his pesky little brother. He will now occasionally ask, “mom, what did you do today while I was at school.” Wow. We haven’t completely given up on ‘the diet’ yet…but when he eats gluten or casein….really nothing happens anymore. We still have a ways to go….but the progress is nothing short of amazing.
Don’t’ get me wrong. Homeopathy is not all smooth sailing. I have the privilege of talking to a few dozen other moms who are using homeopathy with Pierre to recover their children. There is a definite healing pattern…OK it’s more like a roller coaster ride that lasts for about 4 to 6 weeks in the beginning. The body is detoxing. It is going to happen. I have very informally concluded that those children who have gone through some sort of detoxification before going to homeopathy (IE Chelation or other)….that these children have a somewhat easier time during the rollercoaster ride. But it is still not smooth sailing. And there are exceptions to this rule, of course. For us the roller coaster ride was increased hyperactivity, irrationality, tantrums (our boy never tantrumed much before this), loud, excessive talking. Other moms have reported fevers, night wakings, diarehea, vomiting, etc. It is all part of the healing process. (See link…specifically the article “Understanding The Healing Crisis” by ?Ginger Chalford, Ph.D http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/p … lingcrisis)
But even during the rollercoaster ride…there was definitely more awareness and other subtle improvements. I’ve seen people ask “what are your big wow’s with homeopathy”. Well I don’t have any big wows. I just have a TON of small subtle changes that all add up to a big wow. We are not done, recovered yet. But there are days now where he is so “on” that I can see that someday he will get there.
I want to share my own experience with AC chelation and homeopathy. As I said earlier chelation was hard on my brain and body. Intense, intense brain fog and fatigue…while on very little doses of DMSA. (I followed the 3 month rule b/c I had an amalgam filling removed) The first few days after I took the remedy were tough for me. I was having my own healing crisis…and for me it was really bad irritability for 4 days. Then for 8 days after that I had the most intense brain fog ever. On the eighth day…the brain fog was impossibly intense…I remember sitting in church and I looked up at my husband and said something like “I don’t understand a word he’s saying (the preacher) and I couldn’t pay attention right now if you paid me a million dollars”. It was like I could ‘feel’ the brain matter (in 3D) within my skull. I was something I have never experienced before and have not since. I went to sleep that night and in the morning it was gone. No more brain fog. Haven’t had brain fog since. None. Zilch. Nada. I think I was taking 15mg DMSA at the time. I’ve since added ALA and have increased the dosages on both to 100 mg. (yes, every 3 hours). I have NO SIDE EFFECTS. You AC chelation people (those who are well-read on AC chelation) know what that means. YES I believe the mercury is GONE from my brain. I think it is also almost all gone from my other organs too. I have halved my thyroid meds since beginning homeopathy. (Actually in the first two weeks) I have reduced my cortisol supplementation by two-thirds since beginning homeopathy. (this took a bit longer to do.) I am by no means ‘healed’…but I am getting there. I have much more energy. There are actually days where I don’t lay down at all until bedtime. Anyone with bad CFS knows that is significant.
I’m glad I didn’t wait until I understood homeopathy before I tried it. I’m glad I didn’t wait for it to make sense to me. I’ve read the Lansky book…and I still don’t completely understand how it heals and YES removes metals. I really just DON’T CARE how it works. I just know that it is SAFE and I KNOW IT IS WORKING. Thank God I didn’t wait…or I’d still be laying down on my couch in the kitchen between servings of mashed potatoes.
And it’s not just working for my family. Like I said I have the privilege of talking to many other moms whose kids are less functional than my own. Other moms are saying that their kids only had one or two words…then within weeks have a dozen or more. It is not just the high functioning kids that benefit from it. It is not just those kids who have been doing chelation for years that see improvements. Kids of all backgrounds, ages, all levels of functioning are getting better. Homeopathy is not a magic pill. It doesn’t cure overnight. There are difficult times….but the improvements are totally worth it. And the improvements last….unlike so many biomed WOWs we experienced that faded away.
We are still doing AC chelation…but I am becoming more and more convinced that it is not necessary. I am planning on doing hair tests in March or April of next year. I believe that will tell me an interesting story.
For anyone who is still reading and is interested in my almost NT son. He is NT in almost every way. However, I’ve done enough research to know that he has gut issues. He is excessively strong willed, intensely uncooperative and has ADD. At the same time he is also incredibly charming and sweet. He has been on his own remedy for a month so he is still in the ‘roller coaster’ phase. In general he tolerates the chelation much better now. No more side effects. And I mean none. During his ‘up’ days on the roller coaster ride the remedy is helping him be more cooperative and less likely to antagonize his brother. His teacher has told me that he is finally sitting and doing the ‘work’ in his Montessori preschool class…and actually wanting to learn. Up until this point he had been resistant to doing really anything that was not ‘his idea’. On his good days he is peaceful and compliant. It is nothing short of amazing.

October 18th, 2010 Mom We have been doing homeopathy for 7 months now and I have been meaning to write an update, but we have been so busy that it has been very difficult to sit down and actually complete one.
Nicholas continues to do well and has continued to make incredible gains despite us dropping all of his supplements. It has been so nice to be supplement-free and I’m sure Nicholas has appreciated not having to swallow them!
Every week that goes by, we see progress in many different areas. He still has some catching up to do, but we’re seeing him advance further and further. In many areas, he is age appropriate and beyond. Every day, he says things I have never heard him say. Every day, he’ll reference knowledge on a particular subject that we never thought he studied or knew about. He wants to participate in team sports and takes an interest if there are kids playing a sport while we’re at the park or driving past a ball field. He is inquisitive and is retaining the answers we are giving him and continues to build on this knowledge. If we are going somewhere, he asks if there will be kids there for him to play with.
We were recently able to take him on vacation to Disney and he did remarkably well. We ran him ragged from early in the morning to late at night just about every day and he did very well. On the last day of our trip, when we were getting ready to leave for the airport, he said, “I’m not going back to New Jersey, I am already home.” For a child who we could NEVER take to a restaurant not very long ago, we ate out in 3 different restaurants every day and never had a problem. He sat and watched stage shows. He went on rides without hesitation. We went from one ride to another and another and he was happy to do it. He loved watching the fireworks and didn’t complain about the music being too loud. While we were there, we were able to take him to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party and he had a blast! He loved being able to trick or treat in Disney World and even got some green vanilla ice cream colored especially for the event! (Food colorings are no longer an issue for him.)
In the past, when I used to think about wanting to go and just pushing through, all I could envision was a child who would have non-stop temper tantrums for one reason or another – because we had to wait to get on a ride, because he wanted to go one way when we needed to go another, because he had to focus on something mundane instead of what was happening around him, etc. In my mind, I could see him getting stuck and riding the same ride over and over and over and over. I could see me having to quickly eat 3 meals because he would be done in 5 minutes and ready to go to the next thing. I would just think about traveling all that way to ride the train and the train only (which we never even rode actually). I would also envision myself enjoying the rides and then looking at my son and seeing him staring at the floor which would only leave me to wonder what we spent all that money for.
But in reality, our trip was a dream come true for us. This is somewhere we never thought we would be able to take him.
We had a wonderful time and were able to live much of it through Nicholas’s eyes. There truly is nothing like seeing your child’s reaction the first time he steps foot into the Magic Kingdom and sees the castle for the first time.
And yes, he has already asked, “When are we going back to Disney?”
September 11th, 2010 Mom Thank you, Mary, for detailing this amazing story of recovery. This child is completely recovered from autism. He no longer requires any diet nor any supplements. This was one of the stories which led me to Pierre Fontaine. Mary, there is no way I could ever thank you enough.
I told the story of my son’s dramatic “awakening” with a special diet at this year’s World Autism Awareness Day in NY City Hall.
(see: http://www.ageofautism.com/2010/04/on-autism-and-hope-nine-days-into-the-special-diet-i-heard-a-voice-behind-me-say-.html )
In the 5 minutes allotted to me I was not able to elaborate on how classical homeopathy brought rapid and incredible healing to my son far beyond what we saw from the diet. At age 9 he was in an autism program, and although he was verbal, his behaviors were growing worse and worse. We were seeing such tremendous aggression and wild running, hitting escapades that we could no longer take my son anywhere in public. We lived in fear that he would be taken away or institutionalized. A fear that was based in daily reality. I was constantly putting out fires. Everyone was telling me that at this age, as the hormones kick in, they have to be medicated or it will only get worse. I had tried so much with biomed that I felt I didn’t have too many other options.I had tried classical homeopathy after reading Amy Lansky’s book, “The Impossible Cure” when Luis was 4. The homeopath I went to was not familiar with working with autism. She berated me for doing biomed and for putting my child on a special diet. She gave me remedies that did nothing. I left feeling that I had been “had.”
I put homeopathy on the back burner and pursued various forms of detoxification, supplements, etc. We saw positive results from many, but we also saw terrible regressions. And the expense was incredible.
I saw a post on a yahoo group in which Erica McPhee
(see: http://www.recoveredfromautism.com/ )
talked about how she recovered her son from autism through classical homeopathy, and it once again caught my interest. If I could only find the right homeopath who understands how to deal with autism, I thought. I, once again, looked for classical homeopaths in the NY area. This time, I found a recommendation on Amy Lansky’s site: www.impossiblecure.com
for Pierre Fontaine. He interviewed me for 2 and 1/2 hours and seemed to only want to focus on my pregnancy. He did not seem interested in all the work I had done with biomed. I didn’t expect much. He prescribed a remedy. With the first dose I saw nothing. I thought I had been “had” once more.With the second dose, my son, who had begun wetting the bed EVERY night 3 mos. before and waking up EVERY morning screaming and kicking the wall over his bed and requiring 1/2 hour to calm him down… my son who came home from school in the afternoon and threw himself on the floor and kicked and screamed for 1/2 hour to 45 mins. every day… woke up with a dry bed, smiling, telling me “Good morning!” Every day for the next 6 mos. and beyond was one amazing shock after another. His speech teacher said he went from a minimum of 30 prompts per 1/2 hour to none needed between January and April. I was moving and looked for other schools for autism like the one he was in. By July, I knew he no longer fit in an autism program. I agreed to have him placed in a learning disabled class. By September he was so improved he did not fit there. I had him placed in a CTT class for the 4th grade (grade level, co-taught by special ed and gen ed teachers, with mixed gen ed and sp ed students). It seemed like a good way to transition into general ed.
He was like the boy who dropped from another planet. Imagine a child who has not been participating in competitive sports, regular gym classes, cafeteria lunch room, regular academic demands suddenly being thrust into that environment. It was all so new. Every day was a huge learning curve. The first time in gym, “Mom, those boys were all so mean in gym class. Every time I got the ball, they all would try to take it away from me.”
It brought me to tears the day I went in to see the Science Fair, and a little boy whose project I was looking at (who ended up winning the prize) asked me if I was Luis’s mom. He then told me that Luis was his best friend and why–because Luis is such a buddy who was always there for him. (All his previous “friends” were Mommy-arranged scenarios that did not involve much child interaction or engagement.)
In two years Luis went from needing PT and requiring a teen aide to guide him to first base at non-competitive Challenger Little League, to being on his school’s competitive basketball team and on the all-too competitive real Little League. He amazes me every day.
We have seen NO autistic regression since starting his constitutional remedy. We did have some bouts with PANDAS (which he had since he was 5), but those resolved with an acute remedy prescribed by Pierre. Again, amazing.
I am still so amazed at my son’s progress, that I want to share through this group and learn homeopathy myself.
September 11th, 2010 Mom Thank you, MS, for sharing your son’s progress with me and allowing me to publish it here!
G’s progress from August 26th….
My son started his remedy on June 13
Gains I saw after first dose: AWARENESS!! Then that one fade… but gave me HOPE!!!!!
After that he went to a movie for first time in his life and saw Toy Story 3 and Despicable me!!
I was trying to potty train him for a long time with not luck.. suddendly in a matter of one week.. DONE…His BM became much better in consistency.
He learned to swim
He learned to drink from a straw
He weaned for a bottle for the milk
His eye contact is worse than before but now it’s coming back less quantity but more quality (more time conected)
He did this at his therapy… show his therapist that he knows the numbers and letters… Put in order several times the letters and the number CORRECTLY.
