Autism treatment starts tomorrow

Tomorrow, Michael and I will take Brady to Arkansas Children's Hospital to start the Treating Oxidative Stress and the Metabolic Pathology of Autism study. In English, now---low levels of folic acid and glutathione has been deducted in Brady. These two things are a vital reason that Brady cannot speak. We will have to give Brady two meds a day and a shot every 3rd day. We are ready and very eager for Brady to come out from behind his communication wall.

This study is double-blinded meaning that nor we or the doctor will know if Brady is getting the real medicine or the placebo. If we do get the placebo, we will be offered the real deal after the study. Our prayer is that Brady gets the REAL DEAL!!!! I have attached two videos from the leading researcher in this study. Dr. Jill James has a passion for Autistic children and has been so open and honest with us.
