Last I updated, Jordan had hit a plateau and wasn’t going backward,
but wasn’t going forward either. We discovered that gluten has snuck
back into his diet in one item that I had been told by a doctor was
gluten free. I started to get suspicious as we kept thinking about what
was different and contacted the manufacturer to learn that it has
cross-contamination from other grains. Three weeks after removing
gluten, he started progressing again!!
CHELATION
We hit some roadblocks with chelation too. Jordan was having regular
meltdowns whether on or off of the OSR and just couldn’t seem to
tolerate either anymore. When I spoke with his doctor they mentioned
that either the yeast was flaring up or it could be the toxicity burden
in his body is too great. That triggered a thought in me. I hadn’t
noticed any signs of yeast flare up (although it could have certainly
still been that) but the body burden made it click in my mind. I had
noticed his under eye area being especially puffy and that relates to
the kidneys (which are secondary to the liver in the elimination
channels of the body) so I put Jordan back on his all natural herbal
liver decongesting supplement…and tada more progress in his development,
less puffy eyes and after a couple of weeks, he was able to start the
chelating agent again and is tolerating it well, actually he’s not just
tolerating it but started doing better on it than he was when he was
doing off of it.
Heavy metals congest the liver, we’d been working to pull metal out
of him since August and although we were using charcoal to bind them and
escort them out of his body, his liver still got congested, whether by
metals or just general body burden. Great results with the
liver supplement! And on OSR again!
Overall, he is doing just great. So great, I need to make sure not
just to go about our lives, but to keep consistent with ALL of his
supplements. It’s easy to miss or forget about some nowdays.
He quite regularly comes and gives me hugs just because he wants to. He is doing great socially. He seems pretty normal, still behind in a few
areas, but all in all, he is coming along and doing great! When I think
of him as more of a 2 1/2 year old instead of a 3 year old, he seems
very normal indeed (other than his muscle tone and coordination still
being a bit floppy).
Thanks for keeping up! We’re counting our blessings, praising and
thanking God for the healing He is bringing in Jordan’s body and mind!

Jordan's PDD-NOS (Autism) Heavy Metal Chelation Update
Jordan has been on OSR for one month now. OSR is an antioxident that
is quite potent, but gentle as well, and is specific to chelating
(pulling out of the body) heavy metals. It is fat soluable rather than
water soluable (all other chelators are water soluable). This allows it
to get INTO the cell AND cross the blood brain barrier to get metals out
of the brain! The best part – it’s rates a zero on the toxicity scale.
So, it’s very safe.
So my son who is ultra sensitive to everything…like put sunscreen on him one day and he’s in meltdown for 2 days, has been on OSR for 4 weeks. The last week got a bit bumpy and he started overreacting (aka meltdown) to things like big brother looking at him cross-eyed, so we took him off the OSR to give his body a break for a week or two before he goes back on it.
A recap of our first month on OSR.
I didn’t notice any remarkable differences nothing changed from one day to the next. There was no WOW experience…until we got to the end of the month and I looked back. This month he progressed very quickly in his speech and cognition, and evened out in his behavior/emotional reactions significantly. So much so that I’m able to tell others that he’s a normal 2 1/2 year old now (excepting his diet, of course)!!! This month he arrived at his age appropriate level of speech and was “kicked out” of speech therapy!
One week the speech therapist was here and said he didn’t need to continue anymore, because he was basically age-appropriate except for 3 things that he should be added soon at this age, but that most kids struggle with a little more: 1) “I” to his vocabulary 2) something else, I forget what it was 3) colors (but that often they can take substantially longer before they are incorporated in vocabulary). His case manager was here the next week and mentioned the great news as well as the slight concern of the speech therapist and I was like, oh, ya, he’s has 2 of those 3 things now. He uses “I” regularly and appropriately, and whatever the other category of speech was he was all caught up on too. So, the only thing he doesn’t have yet is colors and I’m not worried about that, it’ll come when he’s good and ready…he doesn’t seem to care about colors just yet. It was fun to see those things added so quickly and so thoroughly! One week those things were lacking, the very next week they were so incorporated into his vocabulary I had forgotten they were new!
As far as his behavior and meltdowns, we can pretty much go anywhere and do anything. It’s fun to be out of the house and visiting parks, playgrounds, stores, or the zoo. All things that were unthinkable until the last several months. And now he’s off and running, discovering, and investigating – and running back to tell me about it or drag me over to see it!!!
He’s a normal 2 1/2 year old – with the exception of his diet, supplements, and supersonic hearing. He still has aways to go in his body being fully healed, but he’s getting there slowly but surely and the OSR is speeding him along that path!
Today was Day #2 off of OSR and WOW what a difference this morning. I had an appointment this morning and when I returned (this is important because he’s not much of a morning person, so he had time to wake up while I was out) he would not stop talking! He wanted to tell me about everything I had missed while I was away, ask me about everything – I had stopped at the store on the way home and he wanted to know what EVERYTHING was. A few months ago when the talking was so rare, I never thought I’d tire of his talking, and him being curious and desiring to learn is still a little bit new, and exhilarating. For the barest moment I started to bristle, all that nonstop talking – I was trying to put the groceries away and he was underfoot, pointing to things, asking me about everything, wanting to tell me about his morning, etc – anyway, the moment I started to bristle, I smiled and had the purest most wonderful joy. He was talking – nonstop (except for when patiently awaiting an answer to his question “What’s that?”)! Ten months ago he could not point to something he wanted much less say mama or dada. His only way to communicate was a scream and I had to figure out what it meant. Ten months, and here I am conversing with him – unbelievable. Miraculous. God’s incredible… 1) To choose to bless me this way, the gift of truly being able to know my son, sharing life with him and he with me 2) The healing He has brought to this little one’s brain and body. Yes, I started to bristle, then smiled, slowed down, and wonderfully soaked up the joy of conversing with my 2 year old and helping him learn about the curiosities of the world around him!
