Here is a sample report from our amazing diet software we have which calculates a diet based on your condition, your complaints and works out in literally seconds which are the best foods for you to eat, and which ones you are best to avoid. Takes all the guess work of formulating your ideal diet. Please ask for this when you come for a consultation to The Naturopaths.
 

Here is an example of the benefits of functional medicine testing: the Hair Analysis.
This is a case of little Jessica, a 4yr old diagnosed with autism. You can click on these links to view the first Hair Analysis, which was performed on 24 February 2006, and the second Hair Analysis, was was performed on the 27th of October 2006, after Jessica's heavy metal detoxification. I will endeavour to also have some video footage of before and after - you will see a different child - truely remarkeable.

Success with a 4 yr old autistic girl - through heavy metal detoxification

At the young age of 22 months, my daughter Jessica was diagnosed with mild autism. This was a massive shock and extremely difficult to face and deal with at the time. A few weeks prior to this diagnosis Jessica had her routine injections as do most kids and the normal development we were experiencing started to go down hill. Jessica was starting to talk saying single and double words and developing well like most kids.

Being the inquisitive person that I am, I was looking for some answers to explain what had happened.     I spent a long time, 18 months maybe, researching the internet looking at all scenarios and decided that my diagnosis was Jessica had mercury poisoning (from thimerosal, a vaccine preservative). Immediately that night I ordered online a Heavy Metal Test Kit from the USA. On its arrival I carried out the test to find that Jessica’s mercury levels were extremely high. I got back in touch with the USA and ordered a chelation formula and a magnetic clay bath. I immediately started using the clay bath as it was simple and easy and seemed to be effective and some small gains were seen over time. This confirmed to me that we could be heading down the right path. I put the chelation formula in the cupboard as it said in the instructions that it depleted your body of vitamins and minerals and I personally didn’t want to be accountable for tampering with Jessica’s health. My next daughter did not have injections.

Only a few weeks later, my mother in law at the time was talking to a lady that suggested we talk to a man called Eric Bakker as he was highly regarded Naturopath in the field of detoxification as well as children’s health, and may be able to guide us in the right direction. The phone call was made and an appointment was arranged. A 2 hour trip was made from Palmerston North to Napier and Eric assessed Jessica and suggested we do an initial  Hair Analysis to confirm what we were all thinking. Sure enough the results came back 2 weeks later confirming Jessica had extremely high levels of both aluminium and mercury in her little body. It turned out that this was the best money we spent in our quest for answers to Jessica’s problems.

Five months later after treating Jessica with Eric’s suggested detoxification programme, we had a repeat Hair Analysis, we have seen some incredible gains, with a significant reduction in both mercury and aluminium. Jessica is now much more aware of what is happening around her, is trying to speak again by uttering unclear words, is much more alert and emotional, basically a much happier little girl all round having a lot less tantrums. All this could be a result of reducing the heavy metal content in her little body to an acceptable level. Right now we are having a small rest from treatment and then will continue with the removal of toxic metals from her body. I have no doubt that some additional gains will be made over the next six months.I think the heavy metal removal has had the biggest impact on her wellbeing, and Eric was delighted to notice such a dramatic change in my daughter in such a short period of time.

Basically I would recommend to all parents that have kids in the autism spectrum to to have an experienced practitioner such as Eric Bakker carry out a Hair Analysis Test as soon as possible, and then follow the correct detoxification procedures with your child. The best time to start treatment is as early in life as possible as the most positive effects are gained at a young age. I would also suggest reading and making your own assumptions on thimerosal, a mercury which is used as a vaccine preservative, before embarking on vaccinating your own precious child.

Here is one of many sites I visited; warning of the dangers of vaccines and mercury poisoning: http://www.thimerosal-litigation.com/html/dangers.html

Eric's comment: This case has shown me that there is definitely hope for the autistic child, Jessica was at first a very challenging child to work with, and I have much respect and admiration for Glen for persevering with his gorgeous little girl with the detoxification treatment, as it has paid off to a large extent. There is still some detox work ahead for Jess, but with the love and persistence of her father the her future is looking good. In the future, I hope to offer some video footage online of Jessica both before and after her detoxification. You too will be as astounded as Glen & I both are at the difference.
