Patrick Continues his Autism Recovery

Patrick Keeps Progressing — Patrick is happy!

Patrick’s Autism Recovery at Three Months:

Patrick is happy! He holds conversations! He can let you know what he wants, what is troubling him and more. He is no longer afraid of water. He now dives into the deep end of the pool and touches the bottom. His detox water is very light for the whole first half hour. This means that he is no longer releasing large amounts of heavy metals very quickly. Therefore, the level of mercury in his brain is significantly reduced. This allows the stem cells to survive the brain’s environment. As a result, the stem cells can now replace the damaged brain cells generating new brain tissue. When this happens, the child usually begins to sleep a lot. True to this, Patrick has begun taking naps and still falls asleep within 5 minutes of his head hitting the pillow at night. We are expecting major improvements to begin occurring from this point!

Patrick’s Autism Recovery at Five – Seven Months:

At five months Patrick continues to hold conversations. He began to try and trick his father in ways that his father says he just can’t get mad about because they are so neurotypical! Patrick also starting asking to be more independent. Way to go Patrick!

Patrick’s father purchased Patrick’s sister a bookshelf. Out of habit, rather than ask his son what he wanted, the father guessed that Patrick wanted a bookshelf too. Patrick’s sister asked for doors for her bookshelf. The father guessed that Patrick did not want doors. When Patrick saw his sister’s doors, he said, “Dad, I wanted doors too.” The father was cut to the heart. When his son was unable to communicate wit him, he spent a decade guessing what his son wanted. He now realized that he had been guessing wrong! The father quickly went to get doors for Patrick. Unfortunately, the store had sold them all. When he told his son, Patrick said, “That’s OK dad, you’re still my hero!”

During his sixth and seventh month of recovery, it no longer took him 15 minutes and much assistance to read one page in a book. He began reading independently and could finish a page in 17 seconds! Patrick also learned to play badminton. It no longer took him two to four hours and several meltdowns to calm down when he struggled with learning the game. Watch the video below and see just how well he is doing.

Patrick’s Autism Recovery at Eight – Ten Months:

Patrick Lumsden's Detox Water - APRIL 5 2019 — Resulting Detox Water February, 2019.

Patrick Lumsden's Detox - Nov 8, 2019 - 9 mins — Resulting Detox Water November, 2019.

The image on the left shows how black the detox water had turned at approximately 10 minutes of having Patrick’s feet in the water in February of 2019. This is all of the metal that came out very quickly. Also, notice the thick substance sitting on top of the water. Patrick’s resulting detox water no longer turns black within the first 10 minutes of having his feet in the water as can be seen in the November picture. There isn’t any thick substance present. This is a huge milestone. We understood this to mean that his blood was remaining clean between detoxes. In turn, his brain’s concentration of heavy metals decreased and his brain is no longer thought to be inundated with mercury and other toxins known to cause neurological damage. Now, recall can become completely normal, his brain should have healed the cells that were not damaged beyond repair and stem cells are able to survive the brain’s environment. These stem cells can differentiate into brain cells that will replace the cells destroyed by the heavy metals. Now, the brain can begin to develop as it would have when the child first began regressing. Therefore, we expected him to finally start making major changes. That he did!

Patrick’s school sings their national anthem, O Canada, in English on some days and in French on others. Patrick has been unable to listen to O Canada in French. He always ended up on the floor in a meltdown. When school restarted in September, Patrick was able to be present when his class was singing French O Canada. He didn’t become stressed at all. He is very proud of himself. For the first times since he started school, Patrick is very willing to read and write. He will quickly finish his breakfast and rush to do his reading for the day all by himself! His father was amazed the first time he heard his son sitting alone in a room reading.

In the past, Patrick would not wash his hands when he was supposed to do so. Therefore, when he came out of the bathroom, his father told him to go wash his hands. Patrick indicated that he had already done so. His father insisted that he go wash his hands. Patrick went to a different bathroom to wash his hands as he calmly and firmly said, “This is just wrong!” His father wasn’t sure what to think. Why was he saying it was wrong? Had he actually washed his hands? His father went to the first bathroom to check and found soap suds in the sink. Patrick had indeed washed his hands. Patrick was allowing himself to be wronged while remaining cooperative and communicating how he felt without a meltdown or tantrum! His father was so pleased as he stood in awe of his son’s progress.

Patrick After 1 Year of Autism Recovery

Working Wonders with Autism: What Is Expected Next?

Regardless of their age, most of the children go through the developmental stages that they should have gone through when they were toddlers only 24 – 36 months old. For the autistic child, these stages that they still need to go through are called developmental remnants. As a result of progressing through these developmental remnants, the child becomes happier, more productive and, typically, becomes proud of himself. As each autistic child is different, there is no way to know how complete the autism recovery process will be for each individual. Fortunately, each step forward is a blessing. We can only watch as Patrick moves through those developmental remnants. Time will tell just how complete his autism recovery process will be.
