More about hope - We implement and endorse the teachings from the Body Ecology Diet written by Donna Gates.  The BED specializes in conquering fungal infections, parasites, viral infections, realizing the importance of gut health, detoxification, and restoring immunity.  We also admire the work of Sally Fallon, who has written the book Nourishing Traditions and heads up the Weston A. Price Foundation, Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride from the UK, who has written The Gut and Psychology Syndrome and Dr. Leonard Smith, who co-authored Gut Solutions and is also doing groundbreaking studies on stem cell therapy for autism.  We have learned so much from these individuals, and their message resonates well with our mission.   We credit them for helping us heal our own children of autism and other health issues.  It is frustrating for us to see parents of children recently diagnosed with autism being told that there is no cure while we are witnessing children recovering from it.  Our stories of recovery get pushed aside because organizations are focused on raising money to find the cause instead of working on the cure.  We ache to think of parents who feel there is no hope, and we want to connect you with others that have been in your shoes. 

More about support  -The group evolved from a few mothers who named the group BEDROK, an acronym for Body Ecology Diet Recovering Our Kids.  Once the group reached close to a thousand members on a Yahoo support group, we felt the need to spread our message more effectively to other families who were desperately looking for help.  You will never find a more compassionate and educated group of parents than you will find with us.  You will need support and we are here for that.  It’s all worth it to get your child back from their toxic, spaced-out, bizarre world of autism. Not only are we seeing a remarkable increase in children with autism, but we are also seeing an increase in children diagnosed with learning disabilities, asthma, food allergies, sensory problems, ADD/HD, and babies with GERD and failure to thrive.  We often see parents or other family members afflicted with other auto-immune diseases like eczema, fibromaylgia or Alzheimer’s. They are seeing significant improvement by following the Body Ecology Diet.  Included among our membership are doctors, colon therapists, nutritionists, registered nurses, and speech and occupational therapists, who all have witnessed children getting better from our methods and are interested in learning and sharing what they have experienced.

More about education  - An Analogy We Like To Use. If you had a 2,000-page book about man, the last 100 pages would represent the past century.  Think about what has changed -- ALMOST EVERYTHING!  Our society has demanded fast and easy foods, and our children are suffering from the lack of our foresight.  We have dramatically changed what we are putting into our bodies.  Generation by generation we have been weakening our constitutions.   Before the invention of refrigeration, foods were naturally preserved and were full of healthy bacteria (probiotics).  What we call fake oils did not exist.  Butter, lard, olive oil, coconut oil, and cod liver oil were exclusively consumed.  Nothing was pasteurized.  Our industrialized world dumps toxic substances into the air and water to which we have never before been exposed.  Cell phones are new, and there is now evidence that they may be potentially very dangerous to our children.  It is our belief that many things cause autism within our children:  a genetic predisposition, vaccines, toxins in our air and water, fungal infections (candida), viruses, parasites, and uneducated food choices.  We are educating ourselves on the immune system and understanding why many of  our children had a different reaction to vaccines than a typical chid.  We would like to enlighten the world that having a good understanding of the cleansing process and giving our bodies the right tools will facilitate our remarkable capabilities for healing. We’ll show you where to look for answers, and you can make an informed, educated decision about your family's healing and health.  There is a ton of information on this site and it will seem overwhelming.  Be patient and give yourself a few weeks to soak it all in.  It does take a lot of hard work, a huge amount of dedication, but those of us who have tried it have not regretted it. We want to teach you about some very unconventional therapies that are very effective with our children, such as cranial sacral therapy and colon hydration therapy.

     Please remember that although there may be medical practitioners on this list, the ideas shared here are not intended as medical advice, and every parent must make decisions with the help of an informed physician.  Because every child is different, each child may need a slightly different treatment plan with differing levels of compliance.

We are applying for tax-exempt statu for the 2008 year.  We have a board of directors and focus on our members.
