Hello All,

Elizabeth feeling yucky 05 21 2012

Lizzy slept very well. The “pink moon bath” was a complete success. All was fine and grand until I gave her the Varicella 10M dose. Within 1 hour she was fussy and upset. Believe me, these moments are nothing like before, but they still can be challenging.  30 minutes went by and she threw up. I felt her forehead and she was very warm. Elizabeth threw up one more time and after that she was great! No warm body, no nothing. Go figure. Elizabeth has not thrown up after a remedy dosing in a very long time. I guesstimate about 3 years. This Varicella 10M is not easy for her. The wonderful part is, the aggravation did not last more than 1 hour. Thank God.

After that, she was very happy, verbal, compliant and her old self again. Thank God these minor setbacks are short-lived and not too intense. I look back on those days with amazement. How do we ever get through it? Love for our child, endurance, patience and lots of praying. If I do not P R A Y I become P R E Y. My doubts and fears take over and the battle begins. I begin to battle with myself. Am I doing enough for Elizabeth, Todd and the kids? Am I seeing everything that I need to see? Am I going to repeat past mistakes? Oh brother!! I get tired just typing the words. These moments would completely undermine my ability to be the person that I aspire to be. What a waste of time. Through the grace of God I do not allow this to happen as much as I used to.

Amelia 05 21 2012

Saturday was Amelia’s 19th birthday. My mom and I purchased a new sewing machine for her and she was delighted. Her interests have been leading in this direction for quite some time. Now she can make all of the cool stuff she has been dreaming about. I do not sew at all so she is flying solo. Though I am willing to help, she is venturing out into the unknown, on her own. That’s what growing up is all about.

As Amelia explored her new gift Elizabeth spied the empty box. She took it and dragged it off to play with. She sat in it, put her stuffed toys in it and had a blast. Kids and boxes. So many times over the years I wondered why I even purchased the contents. My kids love big boxes. Their imagination takes over and hours of fun and fights take place.

Matthew and Katie 05 21 2012

I love how resourceful they can be. Boy, this mindset sure has come in handy when it comes to raising 9 kids. Especially one with autism. Sometimes there is not money for therapies, aps, ipads, trampolines, swings whatever. But The Lord will provide. As I reflect upon this so-called dilemma, I realize that it must not be the right time for such things. Or I need to find another way to fill the need. If the doors continue to close, I let it go for a while. In the beginning of our journey, we had Elizabeth in every therapy available to us. I believed then, that it had to happen NOW! She needs this NOW! I just wanted her to get better and help her as much as possible. Though my heart was in the right place, it was not what she NEEDED yet. God knows better than I. So if we REALLY NEED IT, it will happen at the right time.  Patience has never been one of my strong points. Slowly I am getting better about it. Wanting to help so badly I lose focus from time to time. After having a pity party, a good cry and doing some heavy praying I feel more patient. Stop, pray and wait. It is the best way for me to handle everything.

Queen Annes Lace

Lizzy continues to do well 2 days after her dose of 10M. She will receive one more dose tomorrow and then we will watch and wait again. Will speak to her homeopath next week so we can decide on the next step for Elizabeth. Until then I will continue with her supplements, baths, school, exercise and diet. The days are short and the list is long but we are getting most of it done. Triage. Some things are unintentionally forgotten but we always manage to get it done eventually.

May God grant us the strength, endurance and abilities that we need to help our precious gifts from God. Whether it is 9 kids or 1. It is a labor of love that is challenging and rewarding. Without them we would not be the people we hope to be.

Until next time…

Great results on the “Pink Moon Baths” !

I followed the process listed on our last entry and we had some great results. Elizabeth, Todd and Martin each took a bath in the pink Himalayan salt. All three were very relaxed and happy afterwards. Elizabeth did not give me any verbal feedback but her behavior was very calm initially. Within 3 hours she became a little hyper. She was very content and happy just active and awake. Hopefully she will crash and sleep really well. Her sleep has not been an issue for quite some time so I am hoping it will not become an issue again. Just hoping to help get rid of the junk in her system.

Todd (Elizabeth’s dad) was so relaxed and mellow. I have not seen him like this in a very long time. His response was “We need to do this all of the time. I feel wonderful! You and I work really hard and we need this kind of stuff more often. When can we do it again?” Sounds like a happy customer. If Lizzy does not benefit from it, he sure has. There is always a purpose for things.

Martin said, “Mom, I have not felt this good in a long time.” His entire demeanor was one of contentment and relaxation. For those of you who do not know Martin, he can be very tense and withdrawn from time to time plus he is 17. So this kind of cleansing can do wonders for him. Two out of three got great results. Can’t wait to try it myself.

We will test the waters (pun intended) when the next full moon comes around which is June 3. I will do it with the same three as today but we will also get feedback from Ian and Amelia. Being age 20 and 19 they can provide me with more info. I was going to do it tonight but Todd and Martin seemed to need it more than I. Triage. Will have to do it another day and report my feelings as well.

Elizabeth has been doing well and she has exteriorizations on her right side again. This time they are on her lower back. Hmmmmm? Could be because she saw her osteopath the same day I gave her the second 1M dose. I did this intentionally. Wanted to see what happened.  Her treatments with him always kick the clearings or remedies into high gear. These two modalities dove tail each other perfectly. They are a great fit!

Thought we would be finished with this clearing but I feel we should do it one more time to be sure. Need to discuss it with her homeopath but my gut says one more time. She was given the shot twice, and it is a live virus. I am not saying that one has to do a clearing twice because one had the shot twice, but these buggers are nasty. These live virus clearings seem to require more attention than the others. Will have to wait and see what her homeopath and I come up with.

Monday May 21st we start Varicella 10M. Hopefully, it will not be too intense for Elizabeth. Either way it has to be done. We must free her system of these toxins that plague her. So here we go. Always hoping, always praying.

May God grant all of us the strength, patience and endurance we need each and everyday. Through Him all things are possible!

Blessings to all.

Hello All,

Elizabeth’s Umbrella 5/15/12

Elizabeth has been doing well on this clearing. We have seen some great advances with affection, patience and communication. She had a visit with our osteopath on Thursday 5 17 12. She was very engaging and wanted a kiss from him. She presented her cheek to him and waited for a kiss. It was very sweet. The entire session was filled with patience and willingness. I am so glad she is willing to undergo this treatment again. If you remember, the last few sessions have been a nightmare. Since she is willing and open to the treatment again, we will be seeing our D.O. every two weeks.

One day after her treatment (5 17) she was more verbal and her writing improved drastically. Today she wrote the alphabet all on her own and in order. The letters were all upper case and very legible. Her drawings have improved also. Maybe she will be like her dad and become an artist. Time will tell.

Elizabeth has also been learning how to use a bat and ball. We place the ball on the top of an orange construction cone, show her how to place her hands on the bat, how to place her feet, bend her knees slightly, count to three and SMACK. Off it goes. She is not hitting it too hard yet. But she is willing and will repeat the actions by herself. THIS IS VERY ENCOURAGING!! I am going to make her a mat as a reminder of where to place her feet. Also, we will be placing colored tape on the bat to remind her where to place her hands correctly.  My hope is, eventually we won’t need the reminders at all.  One day at a time…

Lavender

One thing we have been doing to combat the effects of this live virus clearing is cleaning our rooms with essential oils, a white candle and indoor plants. We placed large brass hooks on the outside of the doors, high out of reach. This enables me to keep all little people out of the room while the floor dries and the candle is burning.  After 20 years of parenting I always assume that they will touch it. So, safety first.

Below is the process we use every other day or so.

Open the windows

Place a lit white candle in the room.

Add indoor pollution fighting plants

http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/air-quality/news-10-fabulous-houseplants-absorbs-indoor-pollution

Fill a bucket with water, 3 drops of lavender oil and 3 drops of mint oil

Wipe down the furniture, doors and floor

mint

Close the door and let the floor dry. The candle, fresh air and plants do the rest. I wait at least thirty minutes before reentering the room. We extinguish the candle, remove the plants ( I have to because the “littles” might mess with them) and we are good to go. The whole room feels so much better! It removes all of the funk, fatigue and what have you. This enables one to start over with a clean slate. Some poo this, but it has done wonders for our household.

Elizabeth and I will be starting a new regimen coming this Sunday. Elizabeth showed me that she is craving salt again. Last week she was licking our salt shaker, so I researched it and found out some great stuff. Instead of using Epsom salt for her baths we will be using pink Himalayan salt instead. Will try it also so I can get an idea of what really happens. We purchase this in bulk for cooking now so we have an additional use for it. Plus, it looks very decorative sitting in a glass jar in the bathroom.  Love multi purpose purchases!

pink Himalayan salt

I placed pink Himalayan salt in her bath last week and she loved it.  She submerged herself in the water and just hung out. NO wonder she liked it. The info I found online states that if one uses 2.5 pounds of pink Himalayan salt to take a bath during the new moon and the full moon (thalassotherapy) the detox ability is increased. One does not dry themselves off afterwards. You air dry and let the salt do it’s thing. The article suggests that one should not apply anything to the skin. Plus you need to go and lay down for a bit because one will feel a bit loopy from the detox. The first “pink bath” Elizabeth had, I did not use that much salt or follow the other directions. Since I found this new info. I will be following the regimen the article suggested with her on Sunday 5 20 (new moon) and the next few full or new moons that come our way.

Elizabeth used to be very sensitive to the full moon cycles, so I am hoping this will help her detox faster. Using this salt for baths is very popular in spas and the like. I can not afford to indulge in such relaxing activities so we are doing our version of it at home. We will use a candle and essential oils in the bathroom as she bathes. I never leave her alone in the tub so no need to worry about the candle. Can’t wait to see what happens this Sunday night and the following morning. Every bit helps.

A lot of healing has taken place since our last entry and I hope it continues. Elizabeth leaned over while sitting next to me a few days ago and said “I love you very much”. This is the stuff we are seeing lately. More detail, more expression, more maturity, more of all the great things that make our hearts smile. Our little girl is emerging more and more. I hope and pray this will continue next week. 10M is a very strong potency so with God’s help we will have more healing and more knowledge of how to help Elizabeth feel better. It is just a matter of time.

May God grant all of us the healing, hope, strength and endurance that we need to get through the day.  Hope and blessings to all.

Until next time…

Hello All,

Short entry today …

It has been about 2 months since our last blog entry and we had some changes. We decided to start our 3rd Varicella clearing last week and have seen a lot of the same.  Slow but sure. Very subtle changes, I know this will change soon enough. We just have to wait it out.

Lizzy has now requested to be called “Elizabeth”. We did call her Lizzy or Lulu but she wants to be called by her given name. When we accidently call her by her nickname she says, “Not Lulu, Elizabeth!” How cute!! She is maturing and expressing her likes and dislikes, it is very encouraging.

Everything has been going slow, but sure.  I am anxious to see what this clearing brings about.  She has had one exteriorization on her right leg. The same lumps that itch and this time they are further down and closer to her ankle. This is just what we want to see. The closer they get to her feet, the closer we are to moving these toxins out.

Will keep you informed of any changes. 

Always hopeful…

Hello All,

Lizzy has been doing well with her new remedy and we have seen some subtle changes. Her willingness to communicate has increased and her clarity of speech is very encouraging. For example, when I call for her to come here she replies “Coming”. Her ability to obey and answer us more frequently is very good news.

Lizzy’s drawing skills have improved along with her writing. The only problem we have is after she wakes up. She comes down stairs and is very engaging. Suddenly she becomes impatient and squawks. I noticed that the veins on her temples are very visible. That is a deficiency of Silica. I gave her Silica 6X (cell salt)  and put a headband on her. Amazing how calm she became.  Though these things are not the cure, they help me to understand what she needs and help her ride out the uncomfortable feelings she is experiencing.

Another instance, she can be  fussy upon waking and not willing to communicate what she needs. She will hit people and be very difficult. I told her to take a sip of her pineapple juice because it helps calm one down. (Hypoglycemic tendencies?)  She proceeded to walk away from me and went to take a sip of her juice. She ate something and all was better. I love this ability/willingness to listen and interact more. This is wonderful news. Just being able to help her is so uplifting. Thank God!

A couple of days ago I was cooking one of Lizzy’s favorites, organic spaghetti with meatballs. She spied the spaghetti on the counter and watched what I was doing. Recently she is fascinated with knives while we are cooking. These knives are not in plain sight or available to her otherwise but she has a new interest in them.  Regardless of the safety precautions it is  a major concern for any parent of an autistic child. You never what they might do.

Lizzy reached for our Kyocera knife and I quickly told her no. I proceeded to explain that she could cut herself if she was not careful. Plus these knives are delicate and if one drops them they can chip and break very easily. I  moved the knife to a safe zone and she accepted that. This little girl needs tangible reasons for the answer no. She is more cooperative when she understands why.

As she continued to observe what I was doing,  I turned away from the counter and started to talk to Amelia. As I gave Amelia advice, Lizzy looked at me dead center with a huge smile, placed both hands on my chest and said “Mommy”. I was blown away by her sincerity and realization. She understands what a Mommy is!  All of the things she sees me doing every day is making sense now. I am her mommy!! 

This remedy’s work is very subtle and our constant observations of her are crucial in order for us to get an accurate picture of what is going on.  So this is what we will be doing. Before receiving the Sacc Off 30 C we went to see our D.O. It  was no fun to say the least. Lizzy could not wait to get to his office and within 5 minutes she was fighting him all the way. When this happens I know that she needs some special attention from him again. We lasted the entire 15 minutes but the rest of the day off and on was ridiculous. Impatience, screaming, the whole enchilada.

Todd was with Lizzy and I when we went to see our D.O. and Lizzy always acts up more when Todd is around. Bottom line. He is a real softy when it comes to Lizzy. As we left the office, Todd took Lizzy to the car and I finished up the administrative ends of the appt. When I entered our car she was requesting “Chicken fries.” I told her no, and Todd did not tell her that before I arrived. He chickened out! Apparently, she was repeating her request to him and he did not give her a clear answer. Oh Brother! After 20 years of parenting strong-willed kids (plus being one myself) I have learned that any gray area is perceived by them as maybe. Having to lay down the law I told her we could get her an ice cream treat but no chicken and fries.

Lizzy was satisfied with what I said and we proceeded down the road to get her ice cream. As I drove, Lizzy was singing in the sweetest little voice I have ever heard. Her annunciation of the lyrics was amazing. She was completely content again.

Until …

We passed a red and yellow restaurant that serves chicken and fries. She requested  we stop and I told her she could not eat that because it was not good for her.  All was fine. Lizzy was singing songs again.

Todd decided to quickly go into a drug store and she spied the restaurant in the distance. I repeated to her that “We are not going to have chicken and fries”. That was all it took. She went nuts! Kicking, screaming, drooling, the whole thing. I repeated myself one last time and told her the answer was “No”. Todd returned to the car, I looked at him and he read my eyes. He told Lizzy the same thing I did, no. By that time, she was full-blown and nothing was going to change it. I told her she can continue to be upset but the answer is no!! Lizzy continued for 15 minutes.

When we arrived home, I took her by the hand and escorted her to her room. I told her she can come back downstairs when she stopped crying. She continued for 5 more minutes in her room and eventually she came downstairs on her own.  This is what we do with all of our kids when they throw a fit. Sometimes there is nothing like a good cry. The plus side is these fits of hers would last longer than this one. Again,  old symptoms less severity.

After that was over Todd and I were wiped out. We were as crispy as the chicken and fries she wanted so badly. It has been quite a while since she was that upset. I was completely caught off guard. No wonder I used to be in a constant state of hyper vigilance.  How the heck did we survive this happening everyday 4 years ago? Those were some real tough times. I am so grateful to God that it occurs once in a while instead of all day, everyday.  It is amazing what one will endure for love.

Since this took place we will be waiting longer between visits to see our osteopath. Our new homeopath feels that he is getting her cerebral fluid moving around and that is the reason for her behavior after treatment. Plus, I want to get a clear picture of what the remedy is doing for her. If I have too many things going on at once I can not get a clear picture. So we will continue this way until Lizzy shows us something else.

This is a very slow, subtle time. We will let Lizzy guide us to what we need to do next. She might stay on this remedy for a bit and then go back to another CEASE clearing, We have to wait and see. Lizzy’s new homeopath is very knowledgeable and I like her style. She seems to “Get it” and I look forward to meeting her in person.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to every family dealing with autism. May each passing day get us closer to full recovery.

Until next time…

Hello All,

Lizzy has been feeling the effects of the Varicella 10M clearing. This is our second Varicella clearing and I believe we need to do it one more time. Of course, it is up to our new CEASE therapist but my gut says we should do it one more time. We have a phone consult on Feb. 14th and I am very eager to speak with her. She comes very highly recommended by our last homeopath and more importantly, it feels right. Time will tell what we have to do next for Lizzy. Until then we will be watching and observing any changes.

On a happy note, Lizzy is more interested in school the last few days. She is very willing to sit and work on learning how to form letters. She wants to write again. This was not the case the last few weeks. She did not want to be told what to do or how to do it. Typical behavior for her. Lizzy can be very stubborn and her willingness to sit and learn is a welcome change. There is nothing worse than one’s teaching falling on deaf ears. Especially when it is your own child. It can be very stressful. Like all of my other kids I am waiting for her to want to join in. Forcing her into things when she is not feeling well is insane. I have talked about this in the past and the steps to this dance can be tricky. I am still working without the aid of a consultant. This will hopefully change soon. As soon as the funds are available, we will sign up with a woman who works exclusively with special needs kids. I can’t wait to collaborate with her. “When the student is ready, the master will appear.” Just have to do what Lizzy told me last year, “Wait, wait, wait.”

Until then, here is a video of Lizzy after getting her hair combed. As you can see, I am not looking my best, but off we went. She hugged me and it went from there. She was very calm and expressive.

During the video I am whispering in her ear and telling her things that she likes to do. When I stopped talking about her and switched to what I like to do she said, “Stop that.” You can figure out the rest.

Enjoy!!!

Hello All,

Lizzy by Ian Winter

Lizzy has been handling this varicella clearing without any complications. Call me crazy but this clearing does great things for her. It works better than her Saturday remedy (Cuprum 30C). She really is responding well. No exteriorizations or major issues at all. If anything I see her moving forward on a deeper level. Oh really? This was true until we started the 1M. All changed after that.

Case in point. Lizzy was accidentally given more than one dropper full of her 1M Varicella dose. Last Thursday( 1 19 12) at 11:11 am the alarm went off to give Lizzy her remedy or cell salt. We chose this time because it is the month and day of her birthday. Easy to remember and no confusion with other alarms or timers. The alarm sounded and Martin volunteered to give her the 1M dose. He accidentally gave her 1 teaspoon instead of 1 dropper full. OOPS!!!!!!

To say the least I was frustrated and angry. Not only with Martin, but more importantly, myself. I was not specific enough with Martin and my instructions were not completely clear. Martin and I talked it out and after calming down all was resolved. Until…

Within 15 minutes she was screaming and impatient. I waited another 30 min. to make sure it was not some passing thing. Well it did not pass until I gave her a dilution. The dilution was 4 drops of the 1M remedy in one cup of water and then 1 teaspoon out of the mixture. After one dose she was cool and good to go. Thank God! It did not affect her sleep or anything else. Yes!!!!!

Lizzy by Amelia 01 15 2012

I was so angry and upset. I felt bad for her. My negligence is causing her to suffer, again.  Just like the shots I agreed to so long ago. As I reflected on this I was more at peace with it than ever before. My remedy is helping considerably. The Kali Carb 200C is working very well for me now and the proof is apparent. I feel more like myself lately and not out of control. Homeopathy works wonders when one hits on the right remedy. Never ceases to amaze me.

Back to Lizzy. We were getting ready to prepare dinner and each night I have a different partner. (This round robin approach enables all 6 of the older kids to learn how to cook. Based on our calculations all 6 should be able to prepare 14 dishes by summer.) Gabriel was my team-mate tonight and we were preparing homemade organic enchiladas, brown spanish rice and refried beans. This is one of our family favorites. We use flour tortillas because corn is not tolerated well by people with blood type O. Since most of our household is this blood type we make our own flour tortillas and a red chili (chile colorado) with pork. They are quite yummy.

Our tortilla masters, Ian and Gabriel made the dough and prepared small balls to be rolled out. Lizzy spied what was going on and got the step stool and placed herself in front of the cutting board. Gabriel and I noticed and began to remind her how to roll out the tortillas. Last time she did this she rolled about 4 or 5 tortillas. This day ( 1 day after Varicella 1M) she followed every instruction to the letter and stayed there for one hour making tortillas. It was amazing!

Lizzy making tortillas

During the same session, another first occurred.  Lizzy got carried away with the flour and managed to get some in her eye and on her face. She needed to sneeze. She lifted her shirt, covered her nose with it and sneezed. Another awesome thing. Usually she just sneezes and all the contents of her nose come pouring out. Not this time. She made a conscious decision on her own. I was thrilled!!!

On Saturday (1/22) when I gave her the Cuprum 30C all of this changed. She slowed down and was not as interested in her environment.  This continues still.

On Tuesday (1/ 24/12 one day after Varicella 10M) I decided to do a comparison test and make tortillas again. Lizzy came into the kitchen and began rolling out tortillas on her own accord.  We only got 10 minutes today. Will have to wait and see what happens next time. Will do the same test again after the second 10M dose.

Lizzy's hands 1/26/12

This 10M is effecting her big time. She looks tired and has dark circles under her eyes. She is unreasonable for short periods and not willing to wait for anything.  Her hands are very red and she seems to be retaining fluid. The white spot pictured to the left is one second after pressing on her hand with my thumb. This happens when she does not feel well.  All of this old stuff is back. Same thing happened with the MMR 10M clearing.  Todd noticed it right away when he came home. He commented how “autistic” like her behavior is.

It saddens us greatly when we see her going through this. It is very heart breaking. She is out of it, for sure. This 10M really knocked her off-balance. I must say, this Varicella clearing brought about some great stuff and I am very anxious to keep going. Will have to wait to see what we will do next. My gut says we will do the Varicella one more time. Three times was the charm with the MMR and the pattern is similar. We will not give her the cuprum 30C this Saturday. Like before, we want to let this 10M ride out as long as possible. Wait two weeks and see what happens.

Lizzy's Tortilla

Back to the tortilla test. We made tortillas again today. (Friday 1/27/12 1 day after Varicella 10M #2)  Since it is rainy and cold outside, we decided to make quesadillas with organic hot cocoa. Lizzy entered the kitchen and stood on the stool, got herself a rolling-pin and began to roll out one of the balls of dough. She did not use flour so it stuck and she did not want to take directions at all. As she rolled out the dough she was making sounds and acting completely different from before. As she rolled she was squawking and carrying on like she used to. The 10M has her behaving completely different. Though I do not like to see her like this,  I am encouraged. These toxins are still an issue and the more we get them out the better she will be.  All in God’s time…

Lizzy is seeing a new homeopath after this clearing and I am anxious to see how it will play out. I am not sure which direction our new CEASE therapist will advise us to take. At this point in time I am at peace. Everything happens for a reason and changes take place when the time is right. It’s God’s time-table not mine. Funny though… This was the first CEASE therapist I contacted 18 months ago. She felt I was geographically closer to her associate so she referred us to the CEASE therapist/ND that recently closed her practice.  Timing is everything. Back to the beginning again.

Nosferatu by Todd

Another change that took place this month is Lizzy’s dad has a new job. He is still doing the same thing (art director) but for another company. The beauty of this is, Todd leaves later for work and gets home earlier. The kids, Todd and I are loving it!! This allows us to spend more time together and have more energy to enjoy the gifts God provides.  Todd’s train schedule has also changed. He gets to and from work quicker. It is such a blessing. All happens when the time is right. Lizzy is loving this for sure. I am sure it will help her recover even quicker. All is better when Todd is home more.

Will continue to observe her progress and share the results. Our constant hope and prayers are full recovery. Not only for Lizzy but for every child that is dealing with autism. May God grant us the strength, patience and endurance that we need to help our kids. It is just a matter of not giving up.

Blessings to all…

Hello All,

Lizzy by Ian Winter

The holiday season has come to a close and we are hoping for more significant changes in 2012. Lizzy has been doing well for the most part and this new clearing will hopefully bring on more positive changes.

This Monday morning Lizzy was a little grumpy and screaming off and on. I knew  she had to begin her Varicella clearing so I reluctantly got her remedy ready. My thoughts wandered and I thought how her shots were administered so long ago. As I reflected on it, I remembered the nurse brought in the shots all ready to go.  What was done to the serum prior to it being placed in the syringe?

Since Lizzy’s autism I question every single thing and what the ingredients are. My husband Todd says that I complicate things and create more work for myself by adhering to this philosophy. Maybe so. But having to research, recover, endure and witness Lizzy’s autism is much more time-consuming than making food, soaps, shampoo and cleaners from scratch. Honestly, it angered me when he said it and it probably always will.  So I agree to disagree and continue to pursue new information and ingredients to keep my family healthy and happy. Can’t please everybody.

Back to the vaccine thing. According to the CDC, Administering Vaccines To Children pdf the vaccine should be shaken. I thought just flicking it would be enough but they instruct the person administering the vaccine to shake vigorously.  How does this effect the vaccine and its recipient? Sounds like a lot of energy being placed into something. So many factors to consider. Where does it end? I have to wait. One day at a time. If God guides me to research this further so be it. For now, I will stay in my passenger seat and focus on getting Lizzy through this next clearing. His hands are on the wheel and that is fine by me.

Within 45 minutes of Lizzy receiving her Varicella 30C she was calmer and drawing by herself. She seemed more focused than earlier.  I thought great! This is going to be a cake walk.  72 hours later it is for the most part. Some old behaviors resurfacing but nothing intense. Have to wait and see what happens with the 200C. That was the potency that brought about the exteriorization last time. It will be interesting to see what happens this time around.

2012 also brought us to a new CEASE therapist. We will be using a new homeopath as of February. Our beloved ND will be retiring from her practice in order to pursue other endeavours. I will miss her greatly. As I read her letter dated a few weeks ago I became sad. After letting go of my selfish thoughts I realized God always has a purpose. Our ND has other work that will change the lives of many others. Who am I to be the only one that has benefitted from her healing abilities? My thoughts, prayers and admiration go with her. Her knowledge, professionalism, wisdom and compassion will be greatly missed. May God bless her in all that she undertakes.

I said it before and I will say it again. God is leading us. Lizzy’s recovery and everything else in our lives. Nothing happens without a reason. We will continue with the Varicella clearing and by the time it is over we will have talked to our new CEASE therapist and be ready for the next step. I hope this Varicella clearing will do more work and get our baby girl in a healthier place. I love how she has come into her own. A little girl emerges more and more each day. For example: On New Years Day after cooking I sat down on our kitchen stool and dropped. Eight straight hours of cooking and cleaning had taken its toll. Lizzy came up to me and said “I love you, I love you.” As I tearfully thanked her, she smiled at me with her big, beautiful, blue eyes.  This stuff makes my soul smile. It was a wonderful moment indeed. Just when you thought you couldn’t go on…

My thoughts and prayers are constant for all families that are battling autism. May each day provide more healing and growth for us all.  Everything is possible if one has faith, hope and endurance.

Blessings

Hello All,

Pretty Lizzy 12 2011

Lizzy has been doing well considering she still has a cold. On advice from her ND we will be giving Lauricidin to help fight off this bugger. Will be using it for the entire family at this point. We used it a while ago to fight off lyme disease for Gabriel. It had great results. Why I did not continue with it after running out I will never know. I will not do that again. This item needs to be in constant supply from this day forward. Lauricidin.com can give you all the information one could want. Here is a brief description.

• An active ingredient found in Mother’s Milk, Saw Palmetto and other natural products.
• A USFDA (Generally Regarded As Safe, GRAS) approved food additive.
• 100% nontoxic pure nutrient to improve overall daily health and well-being.
• Helps support the immune system
• Helps regulate bowel function
• Shown in laboratories world-wide to inactivate bacteria, viruses and fungi/yeast
• Does not destroy the body’s friendly bacteria or form resistant organisms.
• Biochemically balances the body for optimal health and self-healing
• Can be taken with most other medications
• Recommended by M.D.s and other health professionals around the world

Before receiving her 10M dose today Lizzy was using our pc all by herself. She uses the keyboard and manages to get herself to starfall.com and play movies for herself on the disc drive. Very cool indeed! I know that she has been watching and observing all this time. I believe that all of the information she has been storing will hit us like a tsunami one day. It is just a matter of getting all of this vaccine junk out of way. That day will be one of jubilee!!

Lizzy and Amelia

Amelia and Lizzy have been getting along better recently. Lizzy went up to Amelia last Saturday hugged her, and told her “I love you.” Amelia was elated. As Amelia tearfully shared her story with me we held each other and I congratulated her on her early Christmas gift. God always provides what one needs. I feel this latest development will help Amelia and Lizzy get closer again.  Amelia is still working through the grief of Lizzy’s autism and this tremendous display of affection provided some much-needed healing for her. Thank you God!

Lizzy has been fairly quiet recently. As we decorated for Christmas by making snowflakes, ornaments and painting windows she just observed. We tried to include her on the cutting exercises but she was not interested. She did not want to use the scissors when asked. She finally came around and used them like hedge trimmers again. Being in the middle of a clearing is not the best time to judge her ability to use scissors. So we will wait and see how it goes next week after she has her last dose.

We tried to go without giving Lizzy her Cuprum. This would facilitate the Varicella 10M to keep working on her system. This gave us great results with the MMR so we hoped to do it again.  Lizzy was off the charts on Sunday 12 18 2011. She was screaming and throwing herself about so I gave her the cuprum 30C. Within one hour she was much better. Will have to let it ride next time.  We will wait until January 2nd and repeat the Varicella again. The exteriorizations from the Varicella 200C showed us that we must do it again. I am so excited about where this is going. I feel so confident about Lizzy’s progress. It is just a matter of time.

Lizzy with her purse

Lizzy has a different demeanor lately. She is such a little girl these days. Her biggest bro Ian told me recently, “It is nice to have a little girl in the house again.” This made me feel even more confident than I did before. I am not just seeing what I want to see, others see the changes in her too.  It is indeed a blessed time for our family. Lizzy has been engaging in more pretend play. Filling her purse with plastic scissors and stuff and going shopping is her latest.

Katie 10 2011

The only drag is, Katie wants in. The two of them engage in a tug of war like two crazed woman on Black Friday. It is very cute to see. They also exchange heated words. For all who do not know, Katie does not mince her words, even with Lizzy. Our 100lb Anatalonian Shepherd puppy follows every command from Katie. Amazing. So far Lizzy has told Katie to “shut up, stop that, no, and that’s mine.” Sibling rivalry. It is so wonderful to see Lizzy participating in such behavior. It is amazing what parents can take for granted. Your children bickering with purpose and verbally expressing themselves is one thing I have recently learned to cherish. I am sure I will not feel this way every time it takes place in our house, but for now it makes my heart smile.

Nativity Scene

I anticipate this Christmas is one that I will not forget. Gabriel had the idea to have a Happy Birthday party for Jesus. So that is what we are doing this year. We are preparing for the party. It is a wonderful feeling. Every day this week has been filled with homemade paper decorations and just hanging out with each other. I have not had this kind of peace for quite a while. When one is in the middle of financial triage it is very difficult to stay happy and upbeat. But this year I am. It is Jesus’ birthday this year and we are having a party. My heart is in a completely different spot.

Willy and Gabriel Decorating

We will have party favors for the guests but no gifts. Willy was very disappointed. I explained that we do not have the money this year. That was not enough for our tenacious little man. He was bummed. Before he went to bed I asked him to try to find it in his heart to remember the true meaning of Christmas. He gave me a hug and went off to bed. Next morning he was upbeat and happy. He shared how he thought about it and realized that he is just grateful for his family and that Lizzy is getting better. I was amazed! I thought he would pout for days on end. But not this time. The true meaning of Christmas is a powerful thing. It is the stuff that makes one’s soul dance.

Our Towns Christmas Tree

Another early Christmas gift was given by Lizzy the other night. I exited my room to remind Mattie and Katie to get back into bed. As I passed the bathroom door Lizzy opens the door sporting a sweet smile on her face. I said “Hi”, and snuck into the bathroom quickly. As I entered I realized that the room smelled like Lizzy’s bowel movements. I checked the trash can. Nothing. I remembered when she initially opened the bathroom door and exited I heard the toilet flushing. I thought no way, did she? I asked Amelia to check her pull-up and see if there was any residue. Sure enough. Our baby girl went to bathroom all by herself. She did not wipe but she was fully dressed and happy about her accomplishment. I quickly washed her hands and began to sob. What a wonderful thing!!! She gets it! Thank you Lord for this gift! After composing myself, I called all of those I love. What a miracle. Can’t wait to see if she will do it again soon. I have not been insisting on potty training with her recently. It was too much for her and me. So I let it go for a while and again she did it when she was ready. Go going Lizzy!!!!

Will continue to chart Lizzy’s progress and share. It is just a matter of time for her to be free of these toxins. Have to wait and see. For now I am going to sit back and enjoy the ride and marvel at all God provides.

Until next time…

date of last dosing: 12 3 2011 (6 Days)          

current CEASE clearing and dose: Varicella 1M aka chicken pox 

current supplements: Omega 3, Zinc, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Biotics IAG Prebiotic, Pediatric Custom Vitamin/Mineral Base Powder

returning old symptoms :   low speech, waking in the middle of the night, blowing bubbles with saliva  Note: all of the old symptoms listed are with less severity

significant positive behaviors:  speech is with great clarity

exteriorizations: none

current cell salt: Kali Mur 6X as needed for cold

Hello All,

Lizzy has been doing pretty well and she feels better than the other night. She has caught a cold/virus that half of the family has had. Her dad Todd, has been the worst case to date. Makes sense though. All of the work and traveling he does places him in a more vulnerable state. Lizzy does not seem too bad as of today. We are boosting up her vitamin c doses and giving her Kali Mur 6X for the congestion. I also have been giving her Cat’s Claw liquid to boost her immune system. If only I could get her to swallow some raw garlic. That has amazing results in this house. Will resolve that tonight by placing it on her feet after her bath and massage.

Christmas is approaching and all of the winter little ones are very excited. Matthew especially. He loves to sing. Lizzy was not interested in his 12th version of “Welcome Christmas” from How The Grinch Stole Christmas. She told him ”Stop that! That’s enough!” She was not angry, she was simply expressing herself. I love when she does this. She said it with such confidence and certainty. Our little girl is on her way back. Praise God!

We have had more success with teaching Lizzy to relocate herself when noises bother her. When we have to use an appliance that irritates her we explain to her that she needs to go to another part of the house. I have one of the kid’s guide her and she is very compliant. The next step will be to get her to do it without someone else guiding her. All in good time, it will happen. One drop at a time you fill the bucket.

This weekend will include Christmas decorating and the like. I tend to wait because it seems more special to me that way. We will be making paper garlands, snowflakes, wreaths and garlands to make our house more festive. Plus it is a great chance to teach about gluing and cutting to Lizzy and her younger siblings. The older kids and I will be making wreaths and garlands from the numerous pine trees in the yard. The trees get trimmed and we have beautiful decorations to enjoy. Win, win!

I hope and pray that Lizzy will continue to heal and enjoy this weekends activities. May all who are experiencing autism be granted the patience, strength and endurance they need.

Until next time…
