AUTISM
Name: Wesley Mouriopolos
Disorder: Pervasive Developmental Disorder/Autism
Wesley was diagnosed with PDD/Autism at age 3. He is now 9. Since August 1, 2004 we have been giving Wesley a combination of the following, 3 Efamols, 1 teaspoon of Ascenta Nutra Sea fish oil, 2 Melaleuca Provex’s and 4 Vita Bears.
After the first 3 weeks of giving this combination, we noticed a severe reduction in Wesley’s thirst and consumption of juice. Also noticeable was a change in his gaze/stare. Wes’ “look” was not a stare, but his eyes had meaning and he did not appear to be looking “through” us.
As the weeks passed there were also some initial physical changes. His hair is not course but shiny, his skin is less dry and he has less eczema. His overall health has improved. Since Wesley’s diet is not balanced, (understatement!) in the past Wes was sick more often. This past winter he had only 1 cold and 1 bout of the flu. Also, Wes’ asthma substantially reduced to where he was using 1 or 2 puffers per month.
We have been very consistent in ensuring that Wesley takes the supplements every day, rarely does he miss out.
The cognitive changes we have seen are a major difference in his comprehension and ability to link ideas. For example, at school, a teacher asked what Wesley had in his hands as she passed him in the hall. His response was “ chocolate milk” which was never the case in the past.
Overall, trying to retrieve words to create any idea is very difficult for Wes; however, the last few months we have seen a change in this ability. He is able to “find” the words somewhat easier. Others at his school have also realized the big change in Wesley’s abilities. He now participates in phys-ed. unlike last term and was recently able to shoot the basketball with near success!
We know that Wesley still has the highs and lows that come with Autism, but we have recognised that the highs last longer and the lows seem to be a minor kink.
Our motto will continue to be “slow and steady wins the race” but we are convinced that the above EFA’s along with the high quality vitamins and minerals have made a very notable difference. To that end my husband, our daughter as well as I have been using the same products and are very satisfied.
