Our son got two adult doses of flu vaccines (H1N1 and Seasonal) in the womb. That's a nominal dose of 50mcg of mercury. We've confirmed lot numbers. He then got what looks like a couple more mercury flu vaccines in the first year of life. This shut down his immune system further. He got MMR July 19, three days after his first birthday, and he stopped walking or talking or interacting. He screamed and cried and squeezed himself in between furniture for the next three years while we tried to figure out how to help him.We continued vaccinating with additional assaults for another year. He tested positive for allergy to everything under the sun and we started a diet to exclude lots of foods. It didn't really help anything at the time. We got diagnosed with autism at Kennedy Kreiger a few days before his second birthday. We moved out to California from southern Maryland that day to get better services and access to doctors. We didn't make progress for years.  He didn't gain weight for a year at a time.  We thought he was going to need to go on a feeding tube. He eventually developed Pediatric Autoimmune Neurological Syndrome (PANS) when infections further attacked his brain. He couldn't walk on his own without someone touching him, couldn't swallow his own spit for a month, and his brain told him that he had to wear his sister's clothes for three months straight. He would have terrible screaming episodes.  His eyes would open wide and he would cry for help.  It's all severe OCD but it was terrible. We got a great Lyme/PANS doctor after a year of using antibiotics to control the OCD somewhat. She changed everything.  Did a full metabolic panel to test immune markers and a very detailed and specific infections lab. She showed us that he had no functioning immune system. He stopped making IGG (antibodies), specifically subclass 1 IGG which fights viruses and bacteria. She also showed that he had active chronic mycoplasma pneumonia and HHV6 (roseola) infections. He had terrible bowel movements at the time. Most of the immune system is in the gut and with a leaky gut, he wasn't able to have his immune system function. We started the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, stepping through each phase for a year. That was a big change. It's an intense diet and lots of work but he started to listen to us and respond to his name. We previously did GFCF for years with no benefit. A month into the SCD diet, we started Andy Cutler Protocol to detox mercury. It's the only safe way to do it. We are part of a group of 6000 parents doing it (and over 20,000 in the adult group). Pretty much everyone is on the road to recovery. A month into diet and ACC he started answering yes/no questions. This is when he was 5. Hadn't talked or responded verbally before. A few months later, we finally started antiviral meds (valtrex) with more gains. At some point, I started working on my daughter. She is mercury toxic and a carrier of mycoplasma pneumonia. When she started getting better, there were more gains. His PANS OCD still was there and his IGG kept going down so we started IVIG in December. That's not for everyone but it was necessary for him. That's been a huge breakthrough. Oh yeah, we have a hyperbaric chamber at home. It is useful for inflammation but not the first place to spend money. We also have done about 50 dives in a hard chamber. It's a good compliment to other treatments.We give b12 shots because of specific markers in his blood work.His Nagalase levels were very high last summer so we give gcmaf shots as well. Also saw big gains from that.

I'm not a medical professional, just a parent who was not given informed consent to injure my child nor information on how to help recover from injury. We worked with MD's all along the way to ensure safety of interventions for my son. I encourage others to use this information to have informed exchanges with your doctors to support recovery.
