The New Diet

My posts about developments with J have stirred a bit of excitement. People seem to be coming away with various ideas and so to try to answer some questions here's what I have so far...

J has NOT been diagnosed with autism, nor am I saying he is autistic.
Some of his behaviors are very similar.

He may yet receive that diagnosis from someone else, but I will only play along if it means we get access to help we agree would b good for J.

I do NOT believe J will need to live with this the rest of his life, as long as we change a lot of things RIGHT NOW.

Dietary changes include and are not limited to: eliminating foods that have been processed, having hormones added/altered, genetically modified foods, pesticides, artificial dyes... ANYTHING FAKE, not natural, will be taken out.

We are going to get a toaster over to replace our microwave, but still refrain from too many over cooked foods.

Water: we are going to try to find a natural form of getting clean water to all the taps in our house. If any one knows of a water filter that will get our city water clean, naturally, references are welcome.

We are going to ditch all the chemical cleaners in our house and find recipes/stock up on ingredients for natural cleaning products. If you have a recipe you know works, please share! I know I have seen a lot, but don't want to try them all, if you already know what works.

We are going to seek out the possibility of physical and mental exercises that will promote development alongside the dietary changes, such as a horse riding therapy that Lynn has worked with before and seen amazing results. Because this therapy is not government funded, it may be something we will need to invest in through unique means.

We will be working as well with teachers/pathologist on special learning/teaching methods to get J caught up where he seems to be lagging... But we will not be relying on them if they are not willing to have us present at all times.

Any suggestion of prescription medicine will be declined and though we are willing to do some testing, any testing that subjects J to more radiation or other harm, will also be declined.
