Capribythelake’s Weblog

Through Twitter, I’ve gotten to know a new friend her twitter name is @haysdewy (you should go follow her now!).  We started chatting, and we have totally connected.  It’s rare to find someone that I relate to as much as I immediately related to her. Her blog is AWESOME and her latest blog post, was amazing because all of the things she talks about that she does with her daughter, I pretty much do with Capri.  I’ve wanted to share what I do with Capri to all of you- but I just didn’t really know how because, well- it’s alot! But, she did such a great job here, I’m just posting her post, and just pretend you hear me shouting “Amen” throughout!  Her oldest daughter is healing from Autism, and this video, and her explanation give you a peak into the thousands of families that are doing the same thing, and healing their children.  I will also say that Capri has not been diagnosed with Autism, and I don’t believe she ever will be- but having it in our family (three of my nephews have Autism), and seeing all the “early” signs, I believe that we have protected her from something that was a great possibility.
So, I’m finally talking about something that I’ve never talked about here, and that is that Capri eats a special diet (organic, gluten and dairy free), I did not vaccinate her, and we try to keep her away from all toxins.  Her behavior and health has changed drastically- and it goes back just as drastic if we stop what we are doing.

Click on the link below to watch this AWESOME video.  I promise that you will understand our world a little more after watching this:

“AUTISM YESTERDAY” Autism is Reversible from JB Handley on Vimeo.

“It’s trying to find the right recipe–for the things that work, the things that don’t work”

“Right now we are almost exclusively doing HOMEOPATHY with Ryder”

“Any number of these means can make a difference, and making SOME difference is probably the greatest gift you can give your child”

Watching this video was a way to force myself to remember back to what Sophie used to be like, at one time Sophie:

• screamed almost anytime we took a car ride, the entire way there and back
• had loose stools until the age of 2 1/2, when we finally started working with her diet
• walked on only her toes everywhere
• would not look you in the eyes when talking with her
• only ate a few select foods, most of them being simple carbohydrates, fruit and dairy
• had a hypersensitive sense of hearing and smell that would set her off in tears
• woke up screaming several times throughout any given night
• wouldn’t sleep in any later than 6:00 am
• made grunting and whiny noises instead of talking to people
• chose to play by herself with only a few select repeat toys
• hid in corners screaming any time she was confronted or disciplined for her behavior
• stimulated herself by twisting her hair and putting it into her ear every 5-15 minutes for the entire length of time she was awake
• had purple circles/bags around her eyes and would catch repeat ear infections and respiratory illnesses
• wandered off aimlessly without any notion that she was away from where she was supposed to be–completely unaware of other people and places.

After reading several books/websites on children healed from Autism, I have found the resounding theme for most recovered Autism patients are the following:

• Getting the child away from environmental toxins (like the chemicals found in: yard & bug sprays, household cleaners, air fresheners, fabric softeners, automotive substances, etc)
• Helping the child to detox the heavy metals and toxic ingredients from past immunizations: human diploid cells (originating from HUMAN ABORTED FETAL TISSUE), yeast, sucrose, thimerosal, formaldehyde, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate, phenoxyethanol (ANTIFREEZE), a continuous line of monkey kidney cells, monkey kidney cell culture, monkey lung cells, monosodium glutamate (MSG) IMMUNIZATION INGREDIENT SOURCE: http://www.wnho.net/vaccine_ingredients.htm
• Controlling a child’s diet by eliminating foods with chemical additives, meats and dairy containing immunizations, avoiding casein and gluten until they build up the enzymes needed to digest them, and what worked best for our child was avoiding sugar, since most autistic children have an accompanying yeast overgrowth issue, which feeds off of processed and artificial forms for sweetener.
• Doing your own research and not SETTLING for something that is not working, it is just wasting valuable time that could be used for recovery.

We are so blessed to have come so far with Sophie! People who don’t know her well NOW may not assume her odd characteristics as being autistically related, but instead only “quirky“. I know how far she has come since the forementioned behaviors above, and praise the Lord for her extensive recovery. Sophie is growing into a beautiful and alert young lady, with an interest in so many of God’s wonderful blessings. God is the God of miracles, and I see it each and every day in our three daughters.
