Something unexpected

When we first started looking for food based products to help our family be healthier I had thoughts of my kids perhaps having better immune systems and sleeping better. But what has happened for my oldest and special needs child was something very unexpected. Our oldest son was diagnosed with severe ADHD when he was only 3 years old. He qualified for medication at that age which is not a very common recommendation. At 3 1/2 he was additionaly diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. A form of high  functioning autism on the autism spectrum. We have been very conservative with the amount of medication we give him and since his day of diagnosis he has never gone a day with out his perscribed dose. He also experiences anxiety and the meds he is on causes insomnia. Because of the insomnia he takes a hormonal supplement called Melatonin. While a supplement in my opinion, is much better than an additional perscription to help him sleep I have still wondered if there was something else we could do food based to help him sleep better. So we began eliminating preservatives and high fructose corn syrup from his diet, besides being healthier I have not noticed a change in his ability to fall asleep with out the aid of melatonin. Well on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving we started Landon on 2 food based products I sell that aid in some of these areas and in addition helps with increasing focus and alieviating anxiety among other things. These results have been scientificaly proven in placebo based double blind human clinical trials. Soooo, what happened next was on accident. On black Friday I went shopping with my mother in law and sisters in law only to realize I took our son's afternoon doses (commonly called "boosters") with me into town. He usually recieves his first booster at 11:30 AM, 2nd around 2:30 PM and when we are out of town and his routine is dramaticaly altered I will sometimes give him a 3rd around 5:00 PM. When I returned to my MIL's home around 2:30 PM, our son was acting incredibly focused and calm. I asked my husband if he had found some boosters somewhere else and he said no, that our son had not had any medication besides his morning extended release dose we give him at 7:30 AM every day. We decided he must be extremely exhausted from playing with cousins and swimming all day. That was the first day since his diagnosis he went with out any boosters. He did incredible the rest of the day. So then Saturday rolled around and I decided to see how he would do without the boosters again. He had such an amazing day AGAIN!  No one asked me "Has he had his booster? He acts like he might need one?" and I couldn't believe it. So then I thought Sunday would be the real test.... let's see how he does at church with out having any boosters. NO ONE said a word about his behavior all day! I have not given him a booster since Thanksgiving and he is doing amazing!!!!!! So, I've traded half of his medications for food based products, not a bad trade right? His 2 drinks he takes every morning and evening along with a multi vitamin have no hormones or preservatives! Every ingredient listed is a food item.... our whole family is doing so well! I would like to invite you to do the same! Ask me how! It's risk free, it's totaly safe, it's clinicaly proven to work and theres an empty bottle money back guarantee. One bottle would only last you 8 days.... Thats a pretty crazy guarantee.
