Yeah, we did too, he was our "easy baby." Until this time last year, when he started crying uncontrollably over every minor bump in the road.
Something was off.
I made an appointment to talk to our doctor, and in the meantime, his preschool teacher told me that while he had previously been very engaged, he was now walking around in a daze. He was dropping toys, leaving a trail behind him. He was rolling around on the floor. Chills ran up my spine.
It is unconventional in our society to treat a "healthy" kid, but given that he has a sibling on the spectrum, and given that he is a boy (boys have a much stronger genetic predisposition to autism), Dr. Mumper and I decided to start him on the MB-12 immediately.
Within two weeks he was back to his "typical" self. On the rare occasion we have missed a dose, he becomes very cranky again. Seems a polluted body makes him miserable. MB-12 helps him detox. It's that simple.
Seth was fully immunized within his first two years. His shots were nearly through when I started getting a clue about the autism connection. At that time I spaced out his MMR in three separate doses. I don't know if that helped him or not?
What would have happened if we'd had to endure the runaround of the typical family pediatrician? Would Seth have continued to regress? Would he be autistic too?
I believe, for Seth, autism is just a couple of flu shots away.
His porphyrin results don't surprise me one bit.

So fucking scary!
My mouth is hanging open.
It is infuriating.
I didn't know your kids were being treated by Elizabeth Mumper. She's a friend, and a great doctor who has sacrificed much to help autistic children and their families.
You're in good hands.
Dr. Mumper is a friend to all autistic children.
Incredibly, we didn't even know she was here when we moved to Lynchburg.
She's just five minutes down the road from us.
Talk about luck.
We were pulling our hair out before she put Riley on the MB12.
Tell Dr. Mumper I said "hi".
Methyl-B12, enzymes and ABA . . .
. . . now if we could just get health insurers to start covering it, maybe we could get a lot of our kids back while there's still a chance.
Did you ever see the Bill Moyer special where he had his blood tested and 2000+ carcinogens showed up? Makes me think it travels through breast milk, leeches out through plastic sippy cups, and plastic spring water bottles....do you think it's a good idea to have all toddlers tested? And what's the test again?
No accidents, Michelle. How wonderful that you and Dr. Mumper found one another. Big gratitude for that.
I'm with Carrie. This is SO scary.
I feel the same way about Bella = whom I did not touch. She'd be gone. Gone. My own porphyrin is SCARY HIGH.
This is horrifying. Those kids are so lucky to be in your hands (and Dr. Mumper's too).
Thanks for this reminder....ran out of our B12 and haven't refilled the script b/c everything is so stinkin' expensive...needed a good kick in the ass...Adam can barely handle any stress right now and he is so much more even keeled on the b12.
BTW (Michelle, I'm sure you already know this...)moms can pass on mercury to their children while pregnant. It's a great idea to do level testing and chelation prior to getting pregnant.
My friend's son has Augsberger; I wonder if this is something that would help his son's peculiar behavior.
Wow. I feel for you.
I am amazed that my kids are okay, as far as mercury levels and autism goes. The odds are scary. They had their immunization shots as scheduled. I felt I had no choice-no daycare or school would accept them otherwise. At least that's how I felt. Do schools really have that right? I don't know. It's a catch 22 thing.
There's a woman in my church who has three girls and two of them are austistic. And she's undergoing breast cancer treatment.
Just remember that God doesn't give you more than what you can handle. He is beside you. He makes no mistakes. He has a plan; He works in mysterious ways.
BTW, I am going to pass on the B12 information to my friend who has a son with Asperger's Syndrome. She took him in for vision therapy, but I haven't heard how he's doing now.
Thanks for sharing.
