| Strengths: |
I am a nurse and have a good understanding of the medicine and neuroscience of Autism. I also have a developmental / educational background and have a good understanding of that side of things as well. I'm VERY comfortable in my knowledge of biomedical treatments as well as behvioral therapies. |
Why I became a
Rescue Angel: |
I want to help other parents and children through what WE went through! We've been so inspired by a handful of individuals (Jenny and Jim among them) that have fought their way through the system and against all odds have brought their children back from Autism. I know how overwhelmed, afraid and even defeated you sometimes feel as a parent of a Spectrum kid. Hundreds of books, seminars, classes and sleepless nights later, I know my way around diets and supplements, therapies and most of the treatments out there... and to boot, we've done everything with virtually NO money. Through sheer grit and determination, I've found ways to give my child the help he needs with NO economic resources. It can be done, and others need to know that! If nothing else, God gave me a big heart, an even bigger mouth and a lot of courage. I'd LOVE to share some of that with others. :) |

| Strengths: |
I have done a ton of research regarding autism and the vaccine link, plus alternative and natural health resources and remedies. Currently, I am a motivational speaker and am willing to speak at parent/professional workshops, seminars, and conferences. I communicate ideas under pressure (a talent I learned when I was Mrs. Utah in 2001) so I am comfortable on camera, providing interviews, or participating on panels of discussion, etc. I also have access to a family owned health food store. Currently, Heidi is doing well and grown, so I am ready and willing to advocate for this great cause. |
Why I became a
Rescue Angel: |
I love this idea! The Generation Rescue website is based on truthful answers regarding the complex roots of autism. There are so many suffering like we did without hope or help. I can share our successful ways of untangling the complex cocoon we call autism. I am ready, willing, and able to speak out about vaccine truth and the possible recovery of autism. I know it's treatable and with consistent determination may be beatable! I'm a mom on a mission! |
| Child's Symptoms: |
Heidi was a sweet, healthy, happy daughter with Down syndrome until she was given her kindergarten vaccinations and one flu shot. Gradually, we lost her smiles, hugs, and speech. The cooperative, smart, sweet child digressed into a cold, mean, child with obsessive compulsions. Her health digressed; she became a skinny, "hot-wired" kid with chronic insomnia and diarrhea. At age 13 she was (dual) diagnosed with late-onset Autism and Down syndrome. More drugs and surgeries only made her worse in the long term. At age 15, we started to look "outside the medical box" and got help and healing answers from health providers who used natural means from Mother Nature, health food stores, and tools for emotional healing. We used common sense and our inner guidance system to find ways to heal and got better results. |
| Helpful Therapies: |
At age 15, we started doing several things. We cleaned and detoxified her very clogged up body and brain with natural alternative and non-invasive therapies. Quality vitamins, herbs, oils and foods were a must. Cranial-sacral therapy and weekly massages helped her lymphatic system to flow and detoxify. As we cleaned up and supported her central nervous system and healed her inflamed GI track, the autistic behaviors began to fade. We did many other holistic therapies such as: The BodyTalk system, Foot Zone therapy, and rapid eye technology(RET). I go into further detail in my book, titled "Learning to Dance in the Rain ~ A Mother's Holistic Approach to Helping Autism". A free copy of an abridgement of my book is available to families on the spectrum. |
