Your son’s story sounds very similar to that of our son, except he started to rebound at age 3 literally within a week of starting him on small amounts of DMG. Since then, he has made tremendous strides forward – first regained eye contact, gradually started “getting” cause and effect in a way he never had before, gained a tremendous number of word and speach, and is simply worlds away from where he was. He is now 4 1/2, still diagnosed on the spectrum, but the progress since a year and a half ago has been amazing. It sounds like you’ve tried many different approaches, but wondering if you’ve tried DMG?

Thanks!

I have a child with ASD just like you. We tried stem cell treatment and it has shown good changes in my child.

He was born with no complications two weeks early, started walking unassisted at 11 months and reached all necessary milestones. At 18 months he started to wear nappies only at bed time. (He would see his older brother use the toilet and he would want to as well).

He loved playing games with us and would get excited when other children would come to play. He would sit in at kindergarten with his brother and enjoy taking part in activities.

He knew the alphabet and could name the letters even when they were not in order. When I named the animals he would make the noises. He could point to things and could follow simple instructions, eg; where are your shoes?

He would play hide and seek with his grandfather and understood both Greek and English.

We had no problems or any reason to doubt his development. However,

When he was 18 months he was immunised. He had a very bad reaction, for over a week he had temperatures over 40, we were at the hospital every day and the doctors just kept on sending us home. He became very lethargic,did not move from the couch and lost his appetite.

Once this episode was over he was never the same. For the following months instead of gaining words he started loosing them, he then started wearing nappies all the time. He lost his smile and eventually lost all eye contact and words. He could no longer say ‘mummy’. His face was like a blank canvas.

By the time he was 3, my baby was never the same.

For the last 3 1/2 years we have done early intervention, speech therapy, OT, changed his diet, Kinesiology, and attends an Autistic based school.

He loves playing computer games; he can master a new game within seconds without needing to refer to instructions. Another interest of his is cars. He loves to film them on his camera and show us.

He does have some words now and limited eye contact, however, I have to force him to look at us and use his words. We have a long way to go to get him back to what he was before he got sick.

We are investigating whether a stem cell transplant can help him.

If anyone can help me with their advice or if they have treated their child to let me know of progress.

Much appreciated.
