Originally from Montana, I am now a wife and working mom with 3 small children in the suburbs of Atlanta. My first born son was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the age of 4 years old. Having a degree in psychology and an educational background in science, I began researching ways to help him. On my quest to recover him from the disorder, I stumbled upon a world of true health and natural healing that has helped our entire family.
As a researcher and teacher by nature, I have compiled a large amount of helpful information in my journey. I have an internal drive to organize and share this information with others. I believe that we should all strive to live a more natural and healthy lifestyle.
This is our story and why I am here.
Please check back often as I continue to build and update the content of this site. Also, please feel free to send me suggestions for content that you would like to see.
You have a fantastic and informative blog! I’m going to add your blog to my blog list of parents who are healing their children with autism. https://crystalchild.wordpress.com/2011/03/21/healing-children-with-autism/

Hi Attie, I am sorry to hear about the diagnosis. I do know of a small study where high dose Norwegian fish oil (Omega 3 Fatty Acid) significantly reduced the oxidative stress in individuals with Rett Syndrome compared to the control group. The study notes “significant improvements were observed for motor/independent sitting, ambulation, hands use, nonverbal communication, and respiratory dysfunction.” The study participants, around age 2, were receiving 5 ml twice daily, for 6 months. I hope that gives you something to work with. {{HUGS}} Here is the study: Omega 3 for Rett Syndrome
Attie, I wanted to post here to provide you with this new information. A new/positive study regarding Rett Syndrome. http://www.statecollege.com/news/local-news/penn-state-scientists-discover-potential-autism-treatment,1466522/
