INTRODUCTION
When we had the "ah-ha" moment that our children's symptoms of autism were linked to their poor health, we wanted to take immediate action. But we didn't know which way to turn or what to do first. We lost valuable time researching, reading, and plotting our course of action.
The following advice is what we wish we would have known back then... a suggested course of action. Our protocol will address the following areas:
Steps 1 through 11 are all about building a healthy foundation for your child. These are interventions you can do as you are researching what doctor/health professional you may want to work with later in the protocol. We feel strongly that when you are ready to move on to attacking the virus, bacteria, metals, yeast, and parasites that are likely at the core of your child's health induced autism, you need to be working with an experienced health professional.
Each one of these steps will take anywhere from a week to a month to implement. Please don't try to do all the steps at once or you will likely be overwhelmed and you won't be able to discern what works for your child and what doesn't. And please, do your best to follow the steps in order. After fighting this battle for the last five years, we have come to believe the "order of things" is very important.
None of these steps will be a "magic bullet or overnight cure", so please take your time and go slow. It will be the cumulative effect of these health interventions that will make a difference for your child.
Implementing this protocol may be the hardest and most stressful thing you will ever do in your life. It will certainly change your life style and cause you to make numerous sacrifices. But in our opinion, it's well worth it.
