natural treatment for the disease of leprosy

my name is becky estepp. i have a son namedaaron who’s twelve years old. ten years ago this week, he was diagnosed with autism.we’ve done many biomedical treatments throughout the years, also some complimentary traditionaltreatments, and i would say he’s about 75 percent recovered. we haven't made a fullrecovery, but the boy that he is now is nothing like the boy he used to be, and i’d liketo share my story. we found out eric had autism october 6th, 2000. it wasn’t because a doctortold me; in fact, it was because of a visit i had to the pediatrician’s office withmy infant. at the time, it was his sixth month checkup, and the doctor said, “how’s itgoing?” and i said, “oh, the baby’s fine. i’m having a terrible problem withmy two-year-old. he’s tantruming a lot,

only wanting to do certain things – youknow, a lot of repetitive behavior – but really, the tantrums are becoming uncontrollable.”and my doctor told me that i needed to spank him and spank him severely for such behavior.and i was exhausted, having an infant and a two-year-old that was constantly havingbad behaviors, so i thought about that advice. but later that night, eric woke up in a fit – screaming fit – just like the tantrums he was having during the day, and i realizedhe wasn’t trying to manipulate me with this behavior. i realized something was actuallywrong, and there was no way i was going to hit my baby. and when i think about that now,that the one person he trusted most in the world would be coming in, and i think he wasscreaming out of pain; in fact, i know that

now. it’s almost too much for me to bearto think about. but what i did in the morning is i went to the “what to expect the toddleryears” book, and i looked up autism because i had heard about autism in a couple of articlesthat i had read. and they had a checklist of all these different behaviors. and at thatmoment, i could put a check in every single one of those boxes. and no one had to tellme that my son had autism; i figured it out right there. and i looked up at my husbandand i said, “eric has this,” and i read him the checklist, and my husband said, “yeah,he does.” i called right away to the pediatrician’s office and insisted on a visit that afternoon.they said they were too busy because an autism check was not going to be something like anear infection check and that i’d have to

wait until monday to see them. we went thereon monday. i told her what i thought, and this pediatrician… it was a practice witha lot of pediatricians. this pediatrician said, “oh, yes. i think he has autism.”and i said, “well, what’s his prognosis?” and she said, “he’ll be sheltered lateron in life.” and that should have crushed me, but i don’t know what happened thatmoment. i did know that these were the people who just told me a couple of days ago thati needed to spank him or that these are just behaviors, and now i just mentioned the word“autism,” and she banished him to a life of institutionalization. and i realized thatthese doctors in this medical practice knew nothing about my son’s condition, and ileft knowing that i wasn’t going to listen

to a word that they said and it sent me ona quest to help this two-year-old. this two-year-old in the year 2000 – it wasn’t like we werecrossing the prairie or something. this is modern times, and this is a two-year-old thathad his life ahead of him. so the first thing i did was start searching on the internet.i live in san diego, california, so luckily, there was the autism research institute, andi started learning biomedical treatments. i learned about the gluten-free casein-freediet, and we put him on that right away. and we just hit the ground running with him becausewe had so much hope for him, and we knew that he had autism most definitely, but he hadsome strengths. he had speech. it was echolalia, but he could speak, where some children haveapraxia, and they're unable to speak. we knew,

since he had speech, that he would be ableto have a back and forth conversation at that time. and it was funny. when you learn aboutthis whole new world, you're not sure if someone’s trying to sell you magic beans. and we’rea conservative-type family. we think out our decisions, and i remember finding out aboutsuper nu-thera; it was a kirkman vitamin that had a whole lot of vitamins and nutrientsthat a lot of kids with autism were missing. and we gave it to him – well, i gave itto him. i didn’t let my husband know because i needed an unbiased opinion. and after thefirst day on super nu-thera, he looked up at the wall and pointed and said, “whatis that?” and i almost fell to the floor because he pointed and he asked me a question.we had reciprocal communication. and after

that, i knew this was our journey. we hadto keep going. and i knew not always would i have a homerun like getting reciprocal communication,but with a lot of dedication and patience – and unfortunately a lot of money becausethis was ten years ago and insurance didn’t cover a lot of things and it still doesn’tto this day, which is a whole other topic altogether – but i knew this was the paththat i needed to go forward on with my son. going onto the autism research institute website,there was a list of defeat autism now! doctors. in the year 2000, it was a very short list.but luckily, there was a dan! doctor in my town of san diego. i immediately called mypediatrician because i was very naã¯ve at the time, and i said, “hey, i know you guyscan’t help me – you kind of told me that

– but i found a doctor that treats autism.could you please give me a referral so my hmo will pay for this?” and i got the mostinteresting response. my pediatrician said, “not only will i not refer you, but if ifind out that this autism doctor orders any labs, i will make sure that your insurancedoesn’t pay for it and you pay for it out of pocket.” and i was flabbergasted at thatmoment. i thought, “what in the world did i just get into?” i’m in this alternateuniverse where pediatricians don’t want to help kids with significant problems? soluckily, that was in november, and my husband could change insurance plans at the beginningof the year. so we switched from an hmo to a ppo, which i suggest a lot of new parentsdo because you want to be making your child’s

health decisions, not an hmo. and our defeatautism now! doctor took…or we could get reimbursed 75 percent of his visits. and thefirst thing he did, we had started the diet that he really helped us hone in on it, andwe went and did a lot of labs seeing what was going on with eric internally and we founda lot of yeast overgrowth, bad gut bugs, a really out-of-whack copper-zinc ratio. ourdan! doctor just became like a detective. what's going wrong in our child? and i’veworked with many families – there are actually probably thousands of families over the years – mentoring them, and every child is different. so when someone asks, “hey, what workedfor your son?” well, this is what worked for my son, but your child is probably goingto be different. so it’s really important

that you work with a doctor and that you'redoing these labs to look at what’s going on with the child because you want to addressthose problems specific to the child. january 1st, 2001 was our d day – diet day. that’swhen we started with the gluten-free casein-free diet. at this point, my son was having a lotof gastrointestinal distress. when i heard about the diet, it made perfect sense to methat changing his diet could help alleviate some of these alternating constipation anddiarrhea issues. so i was really, really on-board and eager to start this diet. we started it,and i want to say it was hard. looking back, it was hard, but it gave him such a benefitand it was very beneficial that he was so young. he had not turned three yet, so manipulatinghis diet was fairly easy. the first thing

that we got was better sleep. he wasn’twaking up screaming at night like he was before, and later, what we found out was he was havingmost likely reflux because he was reacting to the bad foods that he was eating. he stoppedhaving mystery fevers. for some reason, before the diet, he was sick constantly. we changedhis diet, and he was no longer sick all the time. and he started feeling better, and thenhe started behaving better. and when he began to behave better, he could learn and knewwe were on the right track. so we started with the diet. and then another thing we addedin was cod liver oil, which was just this huge benefit for him at the time. he was doingthis really kind of odd sideways glancing thing where he’d look out the side of hiseyes and it was disturbing to watch. it almost

looked like he was tripping out or something,you know. and i gave him cod liver oil; he never did it again. it was amazing, and itwas just something that my husband and i knew we just had to keep on this track. then probioticswere added to give him beneficial bacteria because he was just overrun with bad bacteriain his gut. that made him stronger, and i think that really helped support the immunesystem. through our visits with our defeat autism now! doctor and all the labs that herequested, we found a lot about what eric was missing in his blood work, in his stools.we became the detective, and we saw where there were deficits and we supplemented lotsof different vitamins to get his levels up. so it took about a year and a half, maybetwo years, to the point where we wanted to

start chelation to draw out the heavy metals.now, you have to remember: this is probably in 2002. there weren’t a whole lot of chelatorsout there. we didn’t have a lot of choice. so we did an oral dmsa and cognitively, man,he was waking up. there were wows. his aba therapist couldn’t believe the differencethere was on the chelating weekends. but the downside was the oral pathway for him; itwas too hard on his stomach. the gut bugs started coming back; he started cramping.and that’s when parents really have to monitor their children very closely and realize whatis not acceptable – what is not an acceptable side effect. and it was apparent, after afew weeks, that oral chelation was too much for him and we had to stop. i let the doctorknow right away, and we both came to that

decision. but we kept going on, and we keptalways, i mean, on the diet. we’ve been on the diet almost ten years now. so he’salways on that, and he’s always being supplemented. so the next step after the oral chelationwas getting a colonoscopy because still while he was doing so much better, he was stillhaving gi issues. and at a defeat autism now! conference, i heard a man named dr. krigsmanspeak, and he was showing videos of children having unbelievable tantrums, and then heequated it to gastrointestinal pain. and that hit me like a ton of bricks. when you talkto aba therapists – you know, behaviorists – they would tell you that child is justacting out, craving attention. and i realized there is no way they're craving attention.those children are in pain, and it’s almost

ridiculous that you're making them sit ata little table and sort shapes when they're in that much pain. the thing that got to mewas he showed a child bending over the arm of the sofa and was saying they were doingthat to alleviate the pressure in their intestines. when i had been told by an occupational therapistthat eric didn’t know where his body was in space – his proprioceptive system wasoff. and i thought, “oh, my gosh. no, it’s not. he’s trying to alleviate pain.” andi knew right away i needed to go see this man. so we had eric scoped in 2003, and thatwas one of the best treatments we ever did. and it’s kind of funny because it’s actuallymainstream health. he had a colonoscopy. they saw inflammation throughout his gi tract.he had nodules. he was diagnosed with lymphoid

hyperplasia and was given a mainstream drugto take down the inflammation. he was on that drug for a while, and he didn’t need itlater on and it really made his life so much better. there was no more cramping; therewas no more leaking; no stools; and it turned him into a child that was feeling so muchbetter that he could attend school and learn. and i will forever be grateful to dr. arthurkrigsman. after having eric’s colonoscopy, i still wanted to do chelation, but i realizedthat oral chelation was just too rough on his system and getting his gut into a goodplace, i wasn’t about to challenge it again with another oral chelator. so years 2005-2006,we did a transdermal dmps. transdermal dmps is a lotion that i would just rub on thisforearms. gosh, every other night, i think,

was the protocol. and it was pretty effective,but at first, we had some bad behaviors. but you kind of know that something’s workingwhen the child’s shaken up a little. so he was a little rambunctious, but i couldlive with it, and we kept going until we didn’t see any more improvement. it helped him fora long time, but then i think he got a tolerance to it. we were doing tests, and it wasn’tas much mercury as i would have thought. i believe we had cadmium coming out. so it wasn’tas much mercury as i would have thought, but you know, we saw improvement until we didn’tany longer and decided maybe that pathway of excretion, we’d hit as much as we could.and then later, we chelated again with dr. boyd haley’s product osr, and that was anoral chelator that was not harsh on his stomach

and that just really showed a slow, steadyimprovement. i really think that was a fantastic product. the fda just took it off the market,which makes me really sad. it was not a dangerous product at all, and i have a feeling thatthat had a lot to do with politics than it had to do with people’s health. and unfortunately,that’s the state of affairs in our country right now. but if it comes back on the market,i highly recommend it because it was safe, gentle, and we saw many improvements. we'vedone transdermal glutathione; we’ve done oral glutathione; we just want to keep thoseglutathione rates up. i know i gave birth to a typical child. we had a period of completeperfection, regular development, but he reacted to his normal childhood vaccines, and becauseof that, i’ve spent the last ten years talking

to people about an overaggressive vaccineschedule. i also am extremely worried about simultaneous vaccination not being completelystudied at the time of licensure. i think every parent should know that. i think everyparent should fall to their knees when they realize that – that the cdc had to admitthat they do not study these vaccines in combination together. they look at them individually;they find out individually they're safe; but that’s not how they deliver them. they deliverthem in combination. and the fact that the government – that the american academy ofpediatrics – will not listen to the tens of thousands of parents reporting vaccinereactions and then regressions, and then their children getting diagnosed with autism isdespicable to me. i’m very angry about that

because i feel like the minute i knew whathappened to my son – and we have tests to prove that – he has no titers to any ofthe vaccines he received except the mumps and rubella, but he received the whole schedule.he doesn’t have titers, so he got all the vaccines and none of the benefits. and thefact that they won't look at this and listen to the parents is horrible. it’s not right.and the moment that i realized that this happened to my child, i knew i’d be a bad americanif i didn’t speak out about this. i’d be a horrible person if i didn’t warn others.and since then, the day that my son got diagnosed by myself, not by my pediatrician, i was toldit was one in 10,000 children. here we are in 2010, and we’re at one in one-ten. ofcourse, that statistic from the cdc is from

1998, so they're letting a statistic fromthe clinton administration be what is current out in the country today when this is thesame entity just last month put zero in on eggs in iowa that contained bacteria. youknow, they can find e. coli on a leaf of lettuce in san joaquin valley within days, but theywere really supposed to believe that they have no idea what the autism rate truly isin the children born today? we have to rely on a 1998 statistic. this is insanity. thishas to change. we have to take our children’s health back. we need to do this. hey, doctor,my child was vaccinated in 1998 and ’99, which had some of the highest mercury contentin the vaccine schedule ever, and he’s showing all of these symptoms that they call autism.but if you look up mercury poisoning, it’s

the same, and you're told that it has nothingto do with it. and i looked up the vaccines he received – the brands – and at histwo-month checkup, he got 40 times the epa limit of mercury exposure for that day, andat four months, he got 50 times. and it’s amazing that any child got through that unscathed.amazing. but my child wasn’t one of those. he, i think, had a cumulative effect of theseheavy metals building up in his system. and 40 times, 50 times. that’s just unacceptable,and someone was asleep at the switch. so mercury, it’s laughable when you hear that the americanacademy of pediatrics will say that it’s safe. well, then why in 1999, did you saythat it needed to get out of the vaccine schedule as soon as possible? you know, if it’s safe,then why isn’t it in all the childhood vaccines

again, or are you talking out of both sidesof your mouth? i think you're talking out of both sides of your mouth is what’s goingon because this is the second most toxic substance on earth. this is the same element when you'rein middle school and somebody breaks a thermometer in lab. the whole building has to be evacuated.and i always hear about the tuna fish analogy: pregnant women aren’t supposed to eat thatmuch tuna because of the negative effects it could have on the fetus. that’s bad mercuryto you mainstream experts, but the mercury that was injected straight into my child’sarm is the good mercury? there's no good mercury; there’s no bad mercury. it’s mercury.it’s bad. and in fact, i’m more concerned about the mercury that was injected straightinto your body because inhaled mercury or

ingested mercury, that has a system that hasan entrance and an exit, but when you inject it straight in, there’s nowhere to go exceptfor into the tissues, into the organs. and it’s fat soluble: it doesn’t last toolong in the blood. it embeds in the organs. and that is exactly what is happening to thesechildren. they’ll do a blood test and see there’s no mercury in the blood. well, no,because it embeds really fast. so the fact that there are still 25 micrograms in theflu shot and the flu shot is recommended for every american? the flu shot is recommendedfor pregnant women? that is insanity. that is capitalism gone awry, you know. it’sthis horrible, unholy alliance of public health in capitalism, and we’ve got to take ourhealth back. we have to. i wholeheartedly

recommend doing biomed for your child, especiallyif you have a child that was typical for a good chunk of time and then you saw a regressionor a plateau of development because, to me, that suggests injury. and if you can treatthe injury and get your child back onto health, it’s a lot of work, but you know what elseis a lot of work? caring for a severely disabled child for the rest of their lives.
