I haven't been posting much, life has been hectic these past few months. Out of the past 4 months there were only 3 weeks that I wasn't sick. Every other day there was something, a sore throat, cold, tonsil pain, even a stomach bug. It could be stress but I also think it is…

Only 1 week into gut balancing but I'm already noticing more bowel movements, and old interests that are more harmless starting to return. I really hope that continues. Things have been so bad for the past few months. I quit nearly all supplements because I wasn't sure anything…

Today I learned: ANTIMONY IN AIR FRYERS Our highest tested heavy metal was always antimony. And I couldn't figure out why. But I just learned it is present in *recycled black plastic* which is often used in air fryers. We DID have a black plastic air fryer. I got rid of it (too…

For our 4th spelling lesson, my son is getting much better about sitting down in the chair. First couple sessions he was running around almost the whole time and wouldn't sit at all. Last time we figured out he would sit for a while if I squeezed his leg. This time he sat…

❌ Debunking the ‘Autism Is Genetic’ Narrative To illustrate the inadequacy of the genetics-only model, consider the “missing heritability” problem. In theory, if autism were primarily genetic, then genome-wide scans would reveal consistent, high-effect mutations. Instead, the…

Someone told me my book is dangerous because desperate caregivers will ignore disclaimers, miscalculate, and poison their kids. First of all, you'd have to miscalculate pretty egregiously to end up with bromide toxicity (bromism). It would take several grams a day over a long…

SLEEP + CORN STARCH IN AUTISM I haven’t told this story in a while and I want to share it with our autism community on this platform in hopes that it will help other families. After regressing from verbal -> nonverbal at the age of two, our daughter had immediate sleep…

Leucovorin 101 It’s a non active form of B9 that uses a different transporter into the brain. Idea is the immune system blocks another transporter for the active form of B9, eg. methylfolate, hence leucovorin acts as a trojan horse. Been around for a long time. Helps some…
