Generation Rescue Shares Touching Story of Autism Santa Visit
NOTE: It seems to me like America is in a pretty grim place of division, anger, abhorrent behavior and rancor. The holidays call for peace, happiness, joy and gratitude. Below is a perfect Hallmark card for the holidays. Some of our kids do not speak. My Bella has very few words. She uses "Hello, Mama" for most every verbal request. Smart kid! Check out this young boy, a recipient of the Generation Rescue family grant program during his first successful visit with Santa Claus. Please don't believe the Scrooges and Grinches who tell you autism is not treatable. That acceptance is all you need. All there is. So many of us old timers heard that over and over. There was no Google when my kids were tots. Today? You can get to Generation Rescue and other orgs, national and local to get true meaningful help for your child. Thank you to Jenny McCarthy and Generation Rescue for their tidings of great joy - and hope.

After years of being uncomfortable or frightened, a warrior mom participating in the Rescue Family Grant Program was shocked that her 6-year-old son with autism was excited to see Santa.
“William has always been interested in Santa but when we would go see Santa, he just couldn’t handle it – refused to speak or look in Santa’s direction and would start to cry.
We also always had to hold him. Last year we even went to great lengths to take a Santa train ride and have a private appointment with Santa in his train coach. That didn’t even work.
This year it all changed. I know this sounds dramatic, but it felt like an early holiday miracle!
When it was time for Santa to arrive, he did so on a firetruck lit up with Christmas lights. I told Will we needed to line the street to greet him. He got so excited, but I held my breath.
Santa’s Christmas Firetruck stopped in front of us and Santa climbed down the ladder and came right over to us. Will looked Santa in the eyes and said ‘Merry Christmas’ and ‘Thank You’ when Santa handed him a candy cane. Will also chased down Olaf the snowman and gave him hugs and danced with him!

We waited for most of the kids to have their time with Santa and then I asked Will if he would like to sit with Santa and tell him what he wanted for Christmas. He started jumping up and down and said ‘Yes!’ I honestly had a mini panic attack remembering all the past experiences.
Will patiently waited for two other children in line before him. After they were done my husband and I kneeled down and said ‘you can just wave if you want.’
Will said, ‘No, I need to sit with Santa!’ And he ran over and my husband and Santa helped him up onto the arm of the chair. Will sat there in disbelief staring at Santa with the biggest grin.
Santa asked a few time what he wanted for presents. Will just kept repeating ‘I’m sitting with Santa!!’ Finally, my husband took a step forwards and whispered in Will’s ear and said ‘tell Santa what you want.’ He told Santa that he wants more trains.
He jumped off the chair, said ‘bye Santa’ and walked away talking about how ‘he sat with Santa’ and ‘Santa knows what he wants now.’
My husband had a huge smile on his face, I had tears rolling down my face and Will was so happy and proud of himself.
It was an amazing experience for us as a family. I have no idea why now… why all of a sudden? Could this be from the GFCF diet and supplements? Nothing else has changed!
Will is coming out of his shell more! He is expressing himself more which is bringing a more defiant mood/behavior but the flip side is that he is enjoying events and he is asking to try new things, like riding a children’s rollercoaster! 
😳
It’s amazing!!

I worked personally with Andy Cutler for years and also did saunas and EDTA chelation. All of these brought about lasting improvement and a ceasing of meltdowns--extreme in degree. It was a hard path in many ways but life changing for my family.

A big event we often hear about is little boys who will now go to the barber without major meltdowns. "Fight Autism and Win, Detoxing Kids," Facebook group for how to do the Andy Cutler protocol. Get the Mercury out of them for permanent gains. Supplements and diets ultimately are onle dealing with symptoms. Get the Mercury out of them before they hit puberty and won't listen to you anymore.

If
By Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
