"Goodbye Autism": A New Future
Donation protected
Every child is precious.
Each and every one of them is positively amazing, beautiful and able to share themselves in so many ways.
Yet, a growing number of children seem to be developing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other neurological conditions that can interrupt learning, speech, common interactions, and often set off behaviors different from what we might expect.
If that weren't challenging enough, in today’s society it has become commonplace to consider ASD symptoms as "the new norm"—symptoms and behaviors that most children might not experience, such as excessively withdrawing, hyperactivity, aggression, resisting physical contact, causing self-injury, and having obsessive interests, to name a few.
The lives of children on or near the autism spectrum, and those of their families, are unnecessarily complicated... in an already complex world.
That’s right. I said “UNNECESSARILY,” because it’s possible—and surprisingly manageable—for a child on or near the autism spectrum to fully recover!
(Did you get that? It's not only possible, it's surprisingly manageable for someone to fully recover.)
This is important to realize and understand because it is not well-known. The medical community and several of the autism organizations may even say that it’s untrue—because they may not have witnessed it for themselves.
And many parents of children on the spectrum have become resigned. For those families, just making it to the end of the day is considered a "win."
Yet, the evidence is clear.
If you know where to look and whom to watch, children’s lives, families’ lives, and the lives of those they touch, are literally being transformed, often in a matter of only a few short months.
I've personally had the great opportunity to work with dozens of children and young adults on or near the autism spectrum.
Every one of them has either completely healed, leaving no trace of their former challenges, breakdowns, and imbalances, or they've significantly recovered, drastically improving in their ability to thrive in life, at school and within their family!
Let me be clear about what this might look like.
A parent is dreaming, wishing, willing and pulling for more for their child with challenges.
Imagine a child who...
• has been obsessed for years about dinosaurs and reptiles
• has challenged his teachers with numerous questions unrelated to the topic
• has frequent outbursts when things aren't going well or an unexpected change occurs
• has night terrors so will not go to bed at night
• wakes feeling edgy
• is often aggressive
• and begins stimming by spinning plates, footballs or gyroscopes.
This child seems happy enough much of the time, yet about 40% of the waking portion of his/her day is spent avoiding, resisting, withdrawing and being within a seemingly self-made box, away from others around them.
This parent finds my program, registers and begins to follow my easy weekly plan. Slowly and steadily, they make small changes to the diet, verbal exchanges, and the way they all interact together.
Soon, it's obvious that the child is really enrolled in this new healthy plan and wants to contribute, too. This "becoming enrolled in their own wellness plan" happens with kids as young as 2-3 year-olds and even with teenagers!
After only a few short months, parents, teachers, aides, and their community sees a child who still loves dinosaurs and reptiles, and now plays the guitar and writes songs. The teacher comments on parents' night how they're always interested in the topic of study now, and is asking well thought-out questions that deepen the conversation.
She/he has developed a mindfulness practice of their own to use when life gets wonky or changes unexpectedly. Greatest of all, according to the child's circle of loved ones and caregivers, is that she/he is peacefully breaking through the barriers that used to contain them, causing distance and separation.
Now, the child makes up creative play with toys, imagines another time and place using tiny bits of the natural world, and uses storytelling like a wise elder. Truly comfortable in their own skin, the child sleeps deeply each night and wakes feeling bright, confident and ready for a new day.
THAT WAS THEN
I began exploring this more than 20 years ago when I had a family member diagnosed with autism. While challenged with various sensitivities and prone to outbursts, meltdowns and aggressive behaviors, it was obvious to me that she was an amazing child with a great capacity for love, kindness and compassion.
I set out to find a holistic, long-lasting solution so she could thrive in life, rather than struggle and just get by.
I researched and experimented with nutritional foods, safe healing herbs, and mindfulness practices, as much as I was able.
With the help of an amazing Homeopathic Medical Doctor, I developed a wellness plan that included those three healing modalities... and this family member made a complete recovery over the next few months!
Now, to be clear, she healed from the imbalances, yet she retains her full personality, attention to detail, ability to delve deeply into any topic that interests her, and is able to use her willfulness, groundedness and strength in ways that work for her and others. Today, she's a leader in her field and one of the most empowered, well-balanced people I know.
THIS IS NOW
I want to share these benefits with every family affected by autism in the world who's ready for this kind of change in life!
Unfortunately, as I mentioned, many people don't believe that improved wellness or complete healing is even possible for children or young adults on the spectrum.
• The official CDC statistics released in 2014, indicate that 1 in 68 children in the U.S. were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
• At the end of April 2018, the CDC updated their information. The latest stats show that this is now up to 1 in 59 children. (Some studies claim a prevalence as high as 1 in 45.)
• Comparatively, in the 1990's (when I first began to develop this program), stats reflected that only 1 out of approximately 10,000 children developed ASD.
Only a little more time than one generation has passed! It's currently estimated that more than 2 million children experience autism in the United States, with no reduction in sight.
Plus, making matters worse, it is estimated that the costs to families for raising a child on the spectrum are 5 to 10 times higher per year than for other children. And, with increased costs, school programs, community support services and healthcare costs are fracturing state and local government budgets.
If nothing changes, what do you think will happen to our families and communities?
The latest statistics show that, right now, 66% of adults with autism are unemployed. In addition, too many of those that are working hold low-wage, relatively menial jobs.
It's only a matter of time before this reaches a tipping point.
The good news is that it doesn't have to continue to happen like this.
Using the program I've developed, on average it has taken only about 6-10 months for families, teachers and caregivers to witness the child's full recovery from ASD symptoms.
Here are just some of the symptoms and challenges that can disappear:
► Hyper-sensitivities to light, sound, touch, scents, etc,
► Hyperactivity (very active),
► Impulsivity (acting without thinking),
► Aggression,
► Causing self injury,
► Temper tantrums,
► Unusual eating and sleeping habits,
► Unusual mood or emotional reactions,
► Lack of fear, or more fear than expected,
► Easily upset by minor changes,
► Obsessive interests,
► Attachment to routines,
► Hand flapping, body rocking or spinning,
► Delayed speech and language skills,
► Few or no gestures, like waving, pointing, reaching, etc,
► Does not pretend in play,
► Avoidance of eye-contact,
► Prefers to play alone,
► Flat or inappropriate facial expressions,
► Personal space boundaries,
► Avoiding or resisting physical contact, and more.
Wouldn't every parent want to make life better like this for their child or young adult?
There are plenty of services available to children on and near the spectrum these days. But—and it’s a big but—those services keep them on the spectrum rather than providing the nutrition/nourishment, detoxification and mindfulness that is absolutely essential to allow them to heal and be free from the negative side of this disorder.
Imagine what it would be like for them for all of that, whatever their personal discomforts are, to disappear... what that experience would mean for their lives... and what that would be worth to them to have this experience of freedom and vibrant wellness: knowing that their child who has been struggling within will have the experience of being completely empowered, free from their hypersensitivities and discomforts that have been holding them back from thriving.
I have been successful getting these results for individual families in the past. And there are so many families on the edge, just surviving...
You see, the driving force behind this crowdfunding campaign is that I’m out to actually "change the conversation about autism", while improving the quality of life for hundreds of thousands, even millions of people, that are experiencing ASD, along with their families.
In other words, I am no longer willing to be satisfied operating on a small scale when, with a “relatively minimal” amount of additional effort, a real difference can be made on a very large scale.
A real difference benefiting millions.
There are multiple stages to my plan. I will be putting a formal business structure in place so that this effort quickly becomes self-sustaining. That means that this is intended to be a one-time crowdfunding effort, and not the beginning of a series of requests to fund this project ongoingly.
The financial target I’ve set for this campaign will enable my team and I to quickly make an impact in the lives of families, become self-sustainable (and continue to grow), help families of all income levels, and begin to create a feature-length film to document this process.
Recognizing that I’ve been operating on a very small scale for more than 20 years now, and that I want to make the biggest difference possible in the shortest amount of time, I have chosen to hire a company to guide us that offers an invaluable system with a proven track record for people like me who are education-based service providers, who are experts in their field, and who can help others with life-altering solutions, like I can.
This world-class team has mastered how to break through the noise to identify people who specifically need what I can offer and who can afford to pay for it. They are an invaluable resource for us and will help us every step of the way as we go from a "one-person trying-to-do-it-all" operation to our own world-class, results-delivering "knock-people's-socks-off" family-transformation business.
And, since there are people and families who would benefit that simply can’t afford my program, your donations will also fund scholarships to help families in need to experience the life-altering solutions I’ve mentioned here.
To ensure the sustainability of the program and to benefit the greatest number of families as quickly as possible, we will be growing the program by training a new wave of hands-on support staff through my Herbal Wisdom Internship Program.
As the families that you are supporting with your donations go through my Freedom for Autism Program, we will begin to create a documentary film. This will be the next step in effectively spreading the word to the whole world so that they will know that healing from autism is possible for virtually everyone affected.
I hope it’s clear to you that I am passionate about being able to make this kind of difference for people and that your help and support will make this possible. I am truly grateful for that!
There is nothing more joyful for me to experience than to witness the full recovery of a precious young person from the autism spectrum so they may thrive in life!
I don’t want to wait even another second while people struggle with ASD, children feel deficient and disconnected, and families fragment.
