Autistic or Toxic?: How I Unlocked the Mystery of My Son's "Autism"

Book Synopsis: There is no known cure for autism, and no one really knows what causes autism. But there is a subset of people with autism who lose some of the traits associated with autism such as anxiety, depression and self-injurious behavior, while maintaining their unique personality, with heavy metals detoxification, along with diet changes. Our world is laden with toxins, which some of our kids' bodies aren't able to eliminate, secondary to genetics. Instead, the heavy metals are stored in the soft tissues of the body, such as the brain, and may cause stereotypical autistic behaviors. Removing the toxins from the body is crucial to the health and well-being of this subset of children who lack the detoxification pathways needed for removing toxins from the body.

Autistic or Toxic? How I Unlocked the Mystery of My Son's "Autism" is a true story that details how the author discovered what was causing her son's autistic behaviors through trailblazing trial and bumbling errors, often in a hilarious fashion. The story begins with the birth of Luke in 1992 and the mysterious death of his twin. Luke was labeled as having autism at the age of three. His behavior spiraled out of control, until talk of placing him in an institution became a topic of conversation. The story chronicles the heartbreaking crumbling of Luke’s family as autism ruled the household. Finally, when Luke was seven, a light went off in his mom’s head, after yet another confrontation with his principal. She realized then what had killed Luke’s twin and what was really wrong with Luke. She took him to an environmental doctor, who confirmed her suspicions, and started Luke on that elusive road towards autism recovery. From starting out as mild on the autism spectrum, to free-falling into the severely autistic category, then Luke’s beginning to emerge as a typical child, Autistic or Toxic? will have you laughing and crying, and cheering on a boy who just wants to be loved and accepted. Autistic or Toxic? also has a section at the end of the story with a list of five things to do if you find out that your child is on the autism spectrum...things I wish I had done when the doctors told me that Luke had autism. It would have saved me a lot of money, as well as years of heartache, as I chased that miracle "cure" down that elusive road toward autism recovery. Autistic or Toxic? is 152 pages chock-full of treatments that worked for us, the treatments that didn’t work, as well as the sometimes hilarious misadventures of Luke as we struggled to survive the ravages of autism.
