Doesn’t Qualify for Special Ed Class Any Longer
I have found that utilizing Nutrition Response Testing® along with Chiropractic gets better results with my patients. I would like to share two of these cases, since the results had a profound effect not only for the patients but for their family as well.
I had a young boy that came in to my practice who was in a special preschool. He was 4 and he was diagnosed with autism.
He was an extremely picky eater. His mom couldn’t really get him to eat very much and he was on a very limited diet.
The mother brought him in to see me. Upon completing an initial examination, I told the mother right away, “I don’t think your child is autistic. There is something going on with him, but I don’t see it as autism.” He was very bright although he did have some behavioral issues.
Through Nutrition Response Testing I found that his gall bladder had some nutritional deficiencies. The protocol called for giving him gall bladder support in the form of whole food supplements.
I had theorized that maybe he had not been able to absorb fat well because the function of the gall bladder is to secrete bile which assists with the absorption of fat. I was thinking that maybe if he wasn’t absorbing fat for most of his life it was affecting his brain function because the brain needs fat to function properly.
So, his body received gall bladder support. I waited a little bit and then put him on some fat supplements and sure enough his behavior changed. He calmed down quite a bit and shortly after that his mother came in to my practice and told me that the school told her that they did not think he was autistic. And I said happily, “Told you!”
Another case I am reminded of happened when in 2011, I had a 4-year-old boy come into my practice with a diagnosis of autism. The mom had reported that his behavior changed drastically shortly after he received a series of vaccines at age 2.
One of the most difficult behaviors to deal with was severe hyperactivity. He would run around the room and talk loudly about things that didn’t “make sense.” To me it was clear that he was attempting to communicate but he couldn’t formulate sentences in a way that others could understand.
The Nutrition Response Testing evaluation revealed the need to clean up heavy metals from his body.
I put him on a gentle heavy metal detox program as well as some whole food supplements.
After 6 months the mom called me in a panic because they wanted to take him out of his Special Education class at school. She told me, “They want to kick him out of the Special Ed school that I have him in because he doesn’t qualify anymore.” She was literally freaking out. She wasn’t ready for it. It happened so quickly.
That’s the typical story though. We find what we find and address it and then suddenly the child is not qualified for whatever special class they were attending. This has occurred many times over the years that I’ve been doing Nutrition Response Testing.
Although there is certainly a higher incidence of autism that we as practitioners are seeing, we can’t make a broad statement that it is caused by vaccines. Though it appears to be a contributing factor it is not the only one. But the amazing thing about Nutrition Response Testing is that, whatever is causing an issue, the body will let us know what is needed to handle it. Given the correct handling the body can heal. Solutions can be found. And this way, we are able to offer hope in situations where conventional medicine cannot.
