In 1996, when my daughter was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDDNOS), there were very few natural resources to help nonverbal children. She had taken her to what was supposed to be the best hospital at the time, “Children Memorial”. The psychologist who evaluated her noted in her file: “We currently do not have the evidence resources to adequately assess the scope of her case; it falls within the spectrum of PDDNOS.” Offering general statements and inappropriate diagnoses does not bring our children one step closer to wellness. My daughter remained completely non-verbal until she was seven years old when I discovered after years of research a homeopathic protocol to help detox heavy metals from her body. I chose homeopathy because homeopathy has been in clinical use for over 200 years. Homeopathy has had no recorded side effects or negative interactions with other medications. Homeopathy can be taken safely and effectively with nutritional products, herbs, and other conventional medications and procedures. If her son is taking drugs, she should monitor him as her symptoms improve. As they have less need for a prescription plan, medication reduction and cessation would need to be coordinated with their physician.
Homeopathy is based on the evaluation of symptoms and behavior and the application of the appropriate remedy to help address specific problems. My daughter first started speaking at age 7 within three weeks of following the recommended protocol below. She also stopped tossing and turning, banging her head, crying explosively, and starting to sleep more at night. She became calmer when going out in public and had fewer behavioral outbursts when moving from one setting to another.
Recommended homeopathic detoxification protocol:
Note that the manufacturer is important; I highly recommend the “Energique Nutrition” brand of products. If you can’t buy it in your area, please contact me through my blog listed at the link below. I can provide you with information on medical offices that can help you get the right products and ship them to you.
Items you will need and recommended dosages:
Metastat “Energy Nutrition” – 3 drops once a day.
This will get the metal (ie mercury, aluminum) out of where it’s lodged. Most of it will come off in the first week or so, then more slowly you’ll need to monitor your child to possibly add an extra. drop per day after the first two weeks.
Cometox Energy Nutrition- 2 capsules a day
If your child cannot take the capsules, they can be opened and mixed into a small amount of syrup or flavored drink, enough to be swallowed in a smoothie. Cometox will chelate heavy metals so that they cannot relocate in the body.
Energique Nutrition Cilantro – 12 drops twice daily.
Homeopathic coriander is well known as a safe chelating method to evacuate heavy metals from the body.
Energique Nutrition Solidagocom – 10 drops twice daily
This protects and strengthens the kidneys to remove heavy metals.
Calcium carbonate
You can choose your own brand or I recommend a brand called “Calcium 6 Plus” or Solary brand. For children 1 to 6 years old, 250 mg, twice a day. For children 6 to 11 years of age and older, 500 mg, twice daily. 12 years – adult, 600 mg, twice daily
It helps rebuild the bone and when the heavy metals are removed it can leave a void or a small hole in the bone. Calcium carbonate helps rebuild the empty space with new, healthy bone material.
Keep in mind that your child should always take calcium carbonate twice a day, no matter what, even when not on this schedule. Calcium carbonate alkalizes the bloodstream and helps strengthen ions in the brain. To give you an idea of how to do this, a typical day would be:
Morning: 3 drops of Metastat
1 Cometox
12 drops of coriander
10 drops of solidago
Calcium carbonate, as directed
Night: 1 Cometox
12 drops of coriander
10 drops of solidago
Calcium carbonate, as directed
What you might notice:
In the first two weeks, your child may be a little more irritable. They may be more likely to elicit behaviors such as demanding lights to be turned on or off, flicking light switches, blinking, and pushing buttons around the house. They may be too anxious to sleep.
Your child may also cry and be more sensitive than he is now. Just be kind and patient with them. To detoxify, you have to go up and out to be released from the system. As toxins are released, your child may become more moody due to the stress of detoxification.
In the third week, look for more improved eye contact when you greet them. Observe the beginning of making clearer vowel sounds, repeating words, and showing an improved degree of listening skills. Imagine my surprise when my silent, non-verbal child suddenly greeted me for the first time. Be patient, put on some music, let them enjoy listening to songs with easy-to-learn words like nursery rhymes, and sing along. Participate in pretend play, such as drumming on a toy instrument or drumming your hands on a surface.
Stay in this program for 30 days. You will only need to purchase one bottle of each item.
Compared to other heavy metal detox or chelation options, the above protocol is safe, non-invasive, and relatively inexpensive.
