The Journey has Began

The Journey has Began

Today is another busy day here at my house… another day of lots of cooking and learning

 experiences. All this work has a name really: Nelson`s Health.

Since our beloved son Nelson Anthony was diagnosed with Autism, we

 have been researching a lot about all there is to know about the syndrome. Evidently there are a gazillion of information alone that you

 can find just by Google the word: Autism.

Nevertheless I guess there are ways to find the information that has some credibility and

 some eco in you. I am neither a doctor nor an expert on the syndrome, the only thing I am is another of a child I adore and I

 see more in him than just his condition.

After endless nights of searching for that piece of information that we needed 

it so badly, I

 came across with Body Ecology: The Natural Autism Solution by Donna Gates. This is a collection of 12 CD`s that present dietary secrets to help prevent and overcome Autism, ADHD, Aspbergers and other epidemic childhood disorders.

Funny enough someone I know used to work for Donna Gates, I even photograph his son and his rock band a few years ago, yet I never really enquire about what type of nutritional consultant she was. And now years later I find myself looking at her information and discovering the infinite possibilities of her teachings and insight about how to get better health for our children, and in particular for my son.

These CD`s also have the insight on other 2 leading health nutrition experts, Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride MD, and Leonard Smith, MD, both very reputable on their respective fields.

I must say that Natasha`s part of the CD`s really stroke me like a lightning bolt from the sky!, I know it might sound ridiculous but Yes! It did, all she had to say resonate with me immediately, I actually praised God for giving me such a great Biology teacher during my high school days and University days, because all that she was telling (on the CD`s) I was able to understand and process in my head. (after 3 children there is not much brain left)

Anyhow, I devoted myself a week to entirely understand the whole concept behind her diet and the benefits of it… I was blow away by the amount of the information but at the same time eager to know more about the GAPS diet: Gut and Psychology Syndrome.

Long story short, we as a family embarked on the journey for a new way of 

living, which will lead us to help Nelson overcome his condition. I honestly believe we are walking the right path, and I pray to God every night to inspire us to walk the path with lots of courage and strength.
