I have been seeing improvements with both Amor and Nathan. I wanted to check with Amor’s teacher to confirm. This was her reply:
“We noticed that as well Chris. She is more focused and the attention is there, specially during our circle time. Now she is very consistent, specially during our work time and manage to finish her work without resistance.”
We’re about 7 weeks into MMS.
At birth

MMS! It’s not in the medical books. Only 5 weeks into MMS,
Nathan by himself, plays with cars appropriately;
He wants a say in what to wear;
He’s more persistent when he wants to be heard;
He has started to talk about his past;
He is more consistent in answering questions, even a second rkind of questions (2 loop conversation)
maybe even a 3rd and fourth, especially with coaching.
All these are emerging skills but I have full confidence this is the way out of autism.
I speak with conviction because to date, 73 kids (some are teenagers) have recovered from autism with MMS. And the number is growing.
Parasites, bad bacteria, yeast and viruses that release waste and decompose in kids guts release toxins which affect the brain causing autism. MMS kills all those.
Nathan is on his way to recovery.
It’s not in medical books.
If you want read the criticism about MMS by the people who have NOT tried MMS. But also read the great things said by those that have tried it:
Www.MMSAutism.com
OMG! I’m still rubbing my my eyes. Nathan just played with cars appropriately! He pushed them along while saying, “vroom vroom!”
Until now, he would simply mouth, spin or tap toys.
MMS makes me feel like we’re on son- rise fast-forward. We used to get an interaction from Nathan simply by echoing his verbal isms. Now, when we say things, Nathan echoes back. He is clearly more attentive and learning more. His eye contact is stronger than it already was with son-rise. Son-rise made him more persistent, yet it went up a notch with louder voice and body gestures. He holds my chin if he wants to be heard. He is saying more cognitive things like, “the CD looks like cymbals.”
All those improvements came with free worms in his poop thanks to MMS. He started regressing from age 2 1/2. It’s been 4 years. I’m certain he’ll be a different person when we get all the junk out of his gut.
I just have to add. I’m glad I found son-rise before MMS. It makes me a better parent understanding my child and his isms. And yes, I want his isms to go away as fast as possible but that does not make me love him less. And yes, even if Nathan does not fully recover…I will be grateful for all the love I have received because of him.
I may be over excited but I believe Nathan just used his first past tense sentence…he’s recalling (or can verbalize that he can recall) memory from about 7 months back:
Nathan: Airplane looks like a spaceship
Me: Do you remember the airplane at Oji Zoo?
Nathan: Airplane at Oji Zoo
Me: Do you remember the spaceship at Oji Zoo?
Nathan: Spaceship at Oji Zoo….(paused while thinking)…Train at Oji Zoo.
Me: OMG! Yes! Those were your 3 favorite rides at Oji Zoo! You remember!
(Still trying to push my luck if he can verbalize the animals that he saw)
Me: Do you remember the zebra at Oji Zoo?
Nathan: (long pause) Horse?
Me: (thinking there were no horses, darn, we were doing so good with memory recall…..wait…) Oh, you remember the carousel at Oji Zoo! (I got him to ride it even of it wasn’t his favorite).
Nathan: How about merry-go-round?
Me: Of course, yes, it was merry-go-round (Ya Mama, stop confusing the child and giving too many names for the same thing).
It’s our 3rd week of MMS.
Nathan is also more responsive so Ian is spending more time…like 6 mins (up from 5 mins, hahaha)…and having fun son-rising him. Sometimes I just catch my boys laughing together. Music to my ears.
I don’t have to sneak out to go to grocery anymore! Amor (diagnosis: Global Developmental Delay, age 6) always used to cry, whine and insist to come with me. The fastest way out was sneak.
Today, I carried the shopping stroller to the door (no more hiding) and said goodbye to all my kids. Amor asked, “Where are you going?” Up for the challenge, I answered, “Where do you think I’m going Amor?” She replied, ” To ShengShong (name of grocery).” And with a big proud smile on my face, I said “goodbye” again and walked out the door!
We’re on day 15 of MMS and we’ve been doing lifestyle son-rise with Amor for a year.
I took Amor to the mall. Today I was more confident, it’s day 9 since starting MMS. I’ve noticed she is more calm and understands/follows instructions better. Usually, her biggest challenge (or my biggest challenge when I’m with her) is her transitioning issues/flexibility. It’s usually hard getting her to go home at the end.
However, today Amor was good. She looked at toys but I eventually steered her away to get some groceries. On the way home she said, “Hey, look at that!” I though, “Oh no, should I move on and keep walking like I didn’t hear her? I’ll never get her home if she really likes what she ‘s seeing.” It was a car ride. I was brave enough to allow her to ride. I even gave her a dollar to drive. Amazing after her ride, I told her it was time to go. Still allowing her full control (son-rise way), I offered that she could stay if she wanted. She decided to come home with me…thank goodness.
Furthermore, while walking to and from the mall, she corrected her steps when I reminded her to “roll your feet.” Otherwise, she unconsciously tip-toe walks.
Today during our son-rise session, Nathan started singing songs that he learned about 2 years ago from Barney shows but he hadn’t sang them for those 2 years. My eyes started filling with tears because I was recalling how Nathan regressed into autism.
At age 2 Nathan knew his nursery rhymes. In fact we even had our own version of “name that tune” and he even made me his mommy-dukebok as he requested songs.
At age 2 1/2 Nathan was singing all the songs from our favorite kids CD. He would hum as he thought what song to sing next. I got a little worried when his humming between songs got longer and longer….At the end of a year, there was no more songs, just humming. Eventually the shocking diagnosis, autism.
But today, on only the 3rd day of MMS, he’s suddenly recalling songs from those few years when he was slowly regressing. Is this happening?
As I cried, Nathan stopped and looked at me. His face was trying to ask, “why to do you have tears in your eyes?” I just returned the gaze with amazement…and more tears. He was concerned about me. I explained those were tears of joy.
Later in the evening he got an old book that I used to read to them as babies. As I guided him, he “read” through it, instead of flip the pages and feel the texture.
If MMS can get Nathan to his 3 or even 2 1/2-year-old level, in terms of interactive attention….we can son-rise all the way and catch up on those missing years. He is now 6 years, 4months.
More than ever, please pray for us. MMS is giving us so much boost (from viewing stories of other families and now this, only day 3 of MMS). Is this it? The burden made easy?
Keeping faith.
The day after 12-12-12 is literally the start of a new adventure for us. We are trying something new in terms of biomedical intervention for autism. It’s called MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution). Crazy name, but well, can’t do anything about that.
There is so much mixed reviews about MMS online. The people that haven’t tried it have readily criticized it by judging or misjudging it by its chemical name. The folks that have tried it have so many good things to say about it and their children’s progress.
There’s a whole community, guided by Kerri Riveria, that is seeing amazing progress with MMS treatment. So little is known about autism and these families have proven it.
I am convinced this will greatly help Nathan because I know a lot of his issues stem from his gut problems. At age 2, Nathan had good and frequent poop. He wasn’t walking, yes. But nobody would have guessed that he would one day be so autistic. His regression coincides with his constipation and crying almost every night.
