But that's another story. Thanks for your insight! I'm glad I'm not the only one. :-) Personal evidence strongly suggests that vaccines don’t cause autism, but they sure as hell can aggravate them by triggering even more immune responses.

My epileptic roommates seizures jumped up. It got me thinking... I had seizures when I was a kid. I went to my childhood home and measured the electromagnetic fields. Big time. My seizures disappeared when I moved downstairs. No EMF radiation downstairs. We had an epileptic dog growing up. He always laid down behind my father's chair. I happened to be a Laz-y-Boy recliner so was always plugged in and giving off an electric field. The chair was (unfortunately) positioned directly above the furnace. The alternator on the furnace gave off a huge surge of EMF whenever it came on. Hardly scientific certainty but everything starts with observation. Besides, I WAS certain. So I went to the Stanford Epilepsy Conference put on by Stanford University All the Big Brains were gathered. They are -self-proclaimed - best in the world. . I, the only lay person amongst the researchers. The top guy gets up and he points to his big pie chart ... " Epilepsy is an electrical storm in the brain..." points to a big grey area and he says " 75% of epileptic seizures are caused by some unknown environmental factor". I put up my hand, "It's electromagnetic fields". He quickly and rudely chastised me for my ignorance and pressed on. Next presenter was a woman, the organizer - and by reputation - the world's second biggest brain on the subject of epilepsy. Same, only different - when she got to the 'big mystery' part of her show I put up my hand, "It's electromagnetic fields". With a tad more decorum she sympathized with my stupidity. Third guy, a young guy hot off the academic presses in Europe (Italy to be exact). He represented the future of epilepsy research... and the other two couldn't praise him enough. Well, twice burned... I waited and button-holed him outside in the quadrangle. I walked straight up to him and again said, "It's electromagnetic fields!" He replied "That's brilliant! You know they are using EMF to TREAT epilepsy in Spain". "Yes I do", I replied. That was 1996. You can see how far we have come. Good luck with Daniel. I'd suggest KNOW electromagnetic fields and how to avoid them and really look into alternative medicine, diet and the like. Take Care, EMF Guy Hey Dawn,

Like vaccines and autism, it’s the Mom’s who lead the way for scientists with their observations

My Business is electromagnetic fields (EMF) and
has been since 1993 when I move in under powerlines.

My epileptic roommates seizures jumped up.
It got me thinking… I had seizures when I was a kid.
I went to my childhood home and measured the electromagnetic fields. Big time. My seizures disappeared when I moved downstairs.
No EMF radiation downstairs.

We had an epileptic dog growing up.
He always laid down behind my father’s chair.
I happened to be a Laz-y-Boy recliner so was
always plugged in and giving off an electric field.

The chair was (unfortunately) positioned directly
above the furnace. The alternator on the furnace gave
off a huge surge of EMF whenever it came on.

Hardly scientific certainty
but everything starts with observation.
Besides, I WAS certain.

So I went to the Stanford Epilepsy Conference
put on by Stanford University All the Big Brains were gathered.

They are -self-proclaimed – best in the world. .

I, the only lay person amongst the researchers.
The top guy gets up and he points to his big pie chart …
” Epilepsy is an electrical storm in the brain…” points to
a big grey area and he says ” 75% of epileptic seizures
are caused by some unknown environmental factor”.

I put up my hand, “It’s electromagnetic fields”.
He quickly and rudely chastised me for my ignorance
and pressed on.

Next presenter was a woman, the organizer -
and by reputation – the world’s second biggest brain
on the subject of epilepsy.

Same, only different – when she got to the ‘big mystery’
part of her show I put up my hand, “It’s electromagnetic fields”.

With a tad more decorum she sympathized with my stupidity.

Third guy, a young guy hot off the academic presses in Europe (Italy to be exact). He represented the future of epilepsy research… and the other two couldn’t praise him enough.

You can see how far we have come.

Good luck with Daniel.

Take Care,

I will look into that immediately, and I'm pretty sure our insurance will cover it. They're already covering the Occupational Therapy, and I'm sure if there's anything else - even Naturopathy - it'll be covered, too. <3 You definitely know how to sweet-talk the Digi-Mom, Eli.

It will help him with so much, as well as yourself. Goes hand-in-hand with Reiki, accupressure, and homeopathy, too, and it works amazingly. A test was conducted on 20-some autistic kids who were treated to see mental improvement. One was able to see colors for the first time. One said his first words after a few treatments (he was already past his adolescent years at this point). Many were much less prone to physical problems, from moderate ones such as an inability to focus to extreme ones like seizures. It can help with an infinite amount of other things as well, such as regular allergies and deficiencies or even viruses or cancers. If you can find the money and the time, please check it out as soon as you can. You won't regret it at all, and you'll see improvement very quickly. After a few treatments he may never need to be put on medication for epilepsy again. Please please please please PLEASE try N.A.E.T.! It will help him with so much, as well as yourself.

I will share with you some of the recent things that seem to be working really, really well. In addition to the Keppra, which we've been increasing steadily, we also give him a folic acid supplement twice a day, two Min-Tran from Standard Process twice a day, and a half a Multizyme twice a day, which is a digestive enzyme. The Multizyme seems to help with sugar-handling very much because even with a strict diet, things still slip through. For a while, we were using a super papaya enzyme, but I'm thinking he reached his required point for that and no longer needs it. Even with the Keppra increase, he was still having some breakthrough seizures of the "twitchy" variety, but the Multizymes knocked that out. Now, he only has a few minor ones where he has a small myoclonic and then gets stuck in "loop" for a few minutes, and then he's fine. I really appreciate that, Cynthia.

I have been a medical transcriptionist for 20 years and I agree with you about autism and seizures being separate issues for treatment. I also have very strong convictions that autistic kids have some kind of extra ability to sense things that typicals do not, I do not know where you are, but I have heard a lot of good things about Dr. Stephen Luber, pediatrician who specializes in autism. he is located in Rockwood Clinic, Spokane washington and is also affiliated with Northwest Autism Center in Spokane. I live in Las Vegas now but I hope to be able to send my daughter and Phoenix up there for a consultation with him. I will keep you and Daniel in my thoughts. my grandson Phoenix is 3-1/2 and autistic. high functioning, loving, and bright but has seizures that seem to be difficult to control.

I am deeply grateful to have you as my Reiki Master/Teacher. I had looked around, but nothing spoke to me. Have a couple Reiki books, but they bored me and it just didn't 'feel' right. When I received the email from Steve/Silver Pyramid, I KNEW. Looked up your name, saw your picture and received confirmation again. :) During the attunement Thursday, I felt this incredible energy build to a crescendo. When our hands connected, I couldn't hold my emotions any longer. Your Maternal, Healing, and Loving Energy when you hugged me moved me deeply. I cannot think of any accurate words to describe it really, again, I am deeply grateful and will be attending the second class. Your book is wonderfully funny, taking my time with it, taking it in and BREATHING. :-) I'll call you next week, still formulating questions. I'm so incredibly thirsty!!! Very happy to read of the new blessings in your life! How wonderful!!!! :) Namaste, Jen Hi Dawn!
