Those that know me know that I treat a lot of autism cases. Usually it's a case of vaccines vaccines vaccines being behind a sudden regression, & the appearance of autistic symptoms. But not this time.

S. was born to Indian parents in California. Full term, mum elected for a C-section. He came out healthy & was breast fed for the first 3 months. All vaccinations were carried out on time, with no obvious ill-effects. He was devloping normally, hitting his milestones on time. By one year old he was starting to say single words & was developing perfectly. At 18 months he was taken to India to undertake a 43 day Hindu pilgrimage with his grandparents. When he returned, he had regressed into autism.

He had disappeared into his own world, all words had ceased, he'd lost eye contact & was spending most of his time stimming by flapping his hands. He had begun losing weight & was grinding his teeth continuously. Why?

His parents consulted me 3 weeks ago when S was almost two-and-a-half. All the autistic symptoms are still persisting. I took the case & my blindingly obvious opinion was, 'something happened on that pilgrimage'. Was it physical injury to his head, abuse, travel vaccines before the trip, or maybe some sort of infectious disease that he'd contracted that gave these symptoms? The fact he's been in a lot of (very dirty) rivers, the teeth grinding, the weight loss, & the fact he's been having very smelly stools since this time made me suspect that he might just have an infestation of intestinal parasites. Could that be the cause of the 'autism'?

Funnily enough his parents suspected parasite involvement too & had requested that their pediatrician back in the States test for them. He'd declined & just said they had to get used to their son being autistic!

Prescription: Poly Intestinal Parasites 8-week protocol + Cina 200c every Saturday

I've just spoken to the father after the first two weeks of treatment &.... he's had a major reaction to the Poly Parasites... vomiting 30 minutes after the dose, very emotional & crying, itching himself constantly around his bum, slight skin rashes appearing. He's also shown a leap in awareness of the world around him. His eye contact is 35% better already, he's started wanting to join in games with his cousins, he's started holding his parent's hands again, he's actually started engaging in pretend play.

I'd say that's not a bad start! I'm looking forward to what other improvements we'll see after the 8-weeks are finished.
