Howdy....still here, just exhausted!! Started the Alpha Stim!!!

January 17Th 2009 Saturday.

Here I am at work again and boy I tell you I am just dragging whew!
Below I have put the link in to an offer for a free DVD from
The Son-Rise Treatment Center, it shows the actual program and gives some tips for you to use at home with your child. Now as I say every time I am not endorsing this program over another, I am only passing on an avenue for possible help for others I do not agree nor do I disagree with techniques given. Many people have used the Son Rise Program and had amazing results, we did at one time want to do the program it was just to pricey for us and we thought if we are putting out a lot of money then it was going to be for the stem cells. I do however have to say they have amazing results, I believe personally in what they are doing and have families who will back up the program because they have done it and it has shown to work

Below is the link I received via email:
Now Available

Also here is a link to UC Davis of California's M.I.N.D. Institute it talks about the increase in Autism in CA is not because of better counting or more being diagnosed properly, once again this is for informative purposes I do not know nor pretend to know if these are factual results, though I tend to believe The M.I.N.D. Institutes programs........... click on the link: http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/mindinstitute/newsroom/newsdetail.html?key=1861&svr=http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu&table=published

To BAD they are not testing Adult Stem Cells.... it is so frustrating when you know a facility such as The M.I.N.D Institute has the capability but they do not pursue it....they instead have many trails "now open for enrollment" on Risperdal also known as RISPERDONE)......remember this is the drug we are trying to get my Joshua off of as it slowly atrophies the "frontal lobe of the brain" which you can read all about on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe (with pictures too!!)
now this mainly speaks of schizophrenia but that is what Risperdal was created for and now has the FDA approval to use on children with Autism. I say we want to take Joshua off of it, and we do because it can have dangerous effects long term. But it is the only drug that made him calm enough to let him have some quality of life at a time when we had tried so many other meds and they did not work in positive ways so I am not bashing a parent for letting their child take Risperdal if really needed, I just would like to see Joshua off of it for good to maintain his health in the frontal lobe of the brain and not damage it from the long term Risperdal use. And no I do not need any of those nasty gram mailed to me saying what a horrible person I am for "drugging" my child thank you, maybe another time :)

We started the CES with the Alpha Stim- 100 last night, we tried to start it while Joshua was awake but he was having none of that he made up all kinds of excuses not to put it on like.....I have to go to the bathroom, I am thirsty, I am hungry, I want a snack, I do not feel good, and the best one of all I have a headache (now that is a classic ha ha)
So Gary decided to place it on him while he slept, so he crept into Joshua's room and placed two ear clips on (one on each ear) turned on the machine and Joshua did not even move the entire time it was on him I believe that is about 20 minutes. So that was a positive, we will keep this up as directed and see how it goes from there........ I really do not want to try anything else before we go to Health Walk next month as I want everything to be in it's working or non working order just as it is so we can target it and help heal it, not mask it with something else right now like another supplement or things along that nature. I would love to have him off of the Risperdal entirely by February 8Th but I am unsure that will be possible with trying to slowly wean him off of the med, I am hopeful to get to 3/4 less then he is ordered to take :} So far he is tolerating the 2.5mg (down from 4mg) well, and I only attribute that to the stem cell treatment he received, nothing else...well of course GOD!
But we have tried multiple times to take him off and he never could tolerate it, so the only thing different this time is the stem cells........so keep Joshua in your prayers that he will be able to get off of this medication 100%, and I thank you in advance for that :)
Well back to work lunch time is officially over :(
I ate while I was typing and I do not even know if it tasted good I was so involved with this I can not remember eating most of it :}
Till the next blog Adios ~~~~ Lori
